But how much does it actually cost to start a Kona Ice truck, and how much money do franchise owners really make?

Is owning a tool truck actually a smart business in 2026? In this video, I break down how the Snap-on Tools business model works, how much it costs to start, what franchisees are making, and the real pros and cons of a mobile tool business.

But there’s a catch: when you sell physical products, your margins are very different than service businesses. If you’re looking for a mobile business opportunity under $250K-$500K and want to know whether this is a real path to replacing your income, this breakdown will help you think clearly before making a move. Comment below - would you run a tool truck?
