Only reason I have those is it is easier to get the Snap-on guy to cal his own stuff. It is always a challenge for my wife to find a tool that I don't have when the new catalog comes in. Then if she does she runs out and picks it up. What a good woman.

As for Jesse, I give him credit for having a lost talent for metal working. Plus at least he builds his own bikes unlike the Orange County Chopper guys who basically just put together model kits with a touch of custom fab work. I don't think that Jesse is rolling in cash though. From the shows I have seen he always seems to be in a cash crunch. Keep in mind that even though he may sell a bike for $50k + his overhead must be pretty high and then he has his suppliers to pay and I bet he doesn't sell a $50k bike every week. I am sure he is not hurting for cash but hell neither am I an I can't remember the last time I put in a 16 hour day like he does on the show. Add to that the fact that my wife doesn't go for the "biker type" and I can say that I am not in the least jealous of him.

Now for Monster Garage I think it like most good things has just gone to hell. The first few were good when they had a budget and made something from almost nothing. Now they have Dynatrac and other companies donating $10K worth of "freebies". Hell anyone could build those rigs if there was no budget and someone gave you all of the parts. I will stick with Junk Yard Wars. At least they actually build something from nothing still.
