I'm hoping he loaded the wrong pic. I sent him a message telling him to check out his pic because he either has the wrong description or wrong pic.
I also informed him that he can change it since there are no bids yet.

Well I guess that ends the Snap On vs Craftsman debate. Now we know who really makes the raised panels!

I saw the ad too. Its was not very clear but I thought I've seen something like "AN" somewhere near the end of the handle. To me it was a craftsman raised panel.

Sears sold Snap~on (although maybe unintentionally)


You may not believe it, but my father bought his Snap~on 3/8" ratchet, from Sears, in the 70's.



Lot's of us here, are old enough to remember the Sears Surplus stores, well ours was HUGE. (it was a warehouse, not a little store like the later Sears Outlets, for the younger crowd). Ours used to also sell some damaged freight, as my father needed (mom bought a bug) a metric socket set, to change her oil. Dad found a 12pt, metric set (in the old filp top socket holders), taped together with a Snap~on ratchet (FV71 if I remember correctly). He knew it held up better then any of his othe ratchets (at the time, all those cheap (censored), that come in the $4.99 socket sets), and found one a few years back at another damaged freight store (3/8" drive, in 1/4" body FC936, also from memory). Mom spotted him, yanked it out of his hand, and said, That will make a good Christmas present for Randal. Best $20 tool she ever bought me and dad was disappointed, until he saw where I used it, and how it saved my hands.

No chit???? I remember the Sears Surplus store, but I don't remember seeing any Snap On stuff. Just Toughskins "irregulars." :lol:
