[Moose-LandTran]

Yep, that was me.

 

[MachineTech]

yeah, i saw that, congratulations

 

[Blacknwhitepit]

I think I predicted $35.00. That is a VERY Rare screwdriver. Pink goes for some crazy prices!

[MachineTech]

Was that pink line made for breast cancer awarness?

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

Moose, are you getting that to send as a thank you to your shipper? Something we should know about? LOL

 

[Moose-LandTran]

yeah, i saw that, congratulations

Thank you, thank you. I'd like to thank my family.. for not intervening. Snap-on for making this and my exchange rate for making it all possible!

I dunno why, i just wanted one. Kinda cool in an odd way. I have no issues with my ********* if that's what you're wondering. I'm thinking of putting this handle on a ratchet.

Are you trying to make Merkava go even crazier???

[Stephenw]

Unless you were buying top of the line screwdrivers for your wife, why would you want pink handles?

I think he'll get exctied over this one. I am! I think it'd be good on a ratchet, certainly something different that's not been done before. Maybe this is modifyly tools in a new way?

Because it's something a little different and unusual. I like it.

 

[MachineTech]

Besides, you could always wait awhile and put it back on there and know to get a good return.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Nah, i want to keep this one.

I got tired of buying sets of snap on picks years ago.It seemed everybody in the shop would eventually end up with my picks.One day I was on the truck and all he had was pink handled picks so I bought a set.I still have 3 of the 4 picks from that set 5 yrs later.It seems none of the guys wanted to borrow the pink ones.

Its just pink.. not rainbow colored ones :

But yeah.. thats a great way to prevent confusion of ownership of tools

 

[Vernmotor]

Heck I got one of them in my tool box and use it every day. Got it at a yard sale 15 years ago..good color not to lose..and no one steals it from you LOL

 

[Stanger]

I always figured that is why the bright green, pink, and orange were made, to identify your tools.

Don't know if you guys noticed this from the same seller.
Pink ratcheting...

[billymade]

AFAIK, it was not for cancer but just one of the many day glo colors that were popular in the 80s/90s.

 

[paramudduck]

Hey I had neon pink windshield wipera and antenna back then. Went well with the pink handled Snap on stuff.

 

[dxdexter]

Am I reading the ad correct, $61 for one screwdriver.

You're not the only one thinking there's something wrong with that. But I guess it's a collectible, which makes it okay.

I agree. I just keep bidding on black handle stuff and winning, letting the colored handles go to the guys who want to drop rediculous money on them.

 

[wilbilt]

I wonder what the set I have would bring. Pink ratcheting screwdriver, slip-joint pliers and kitchen shears. Bought off the truck as a gift for my wife.

...Naahh...she'd kill me...

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

I believe the term is screweddriver.

However, I am now wondering if anyone has ever tried that vinyl/upholstry spray on their handles, for id purposes?

That wouldn't last long if it was hit with brake clean or lacquer thinner.

 

[eschoendorff]

I like pink as much as the next guy lol, but $61 for a single screwdriver is just retarded. Sorry... but over here $61 buys groceries for a week.

 

[JayL]

Maybe just reserve the PINK screwdriver usage for very good clients.

Over here $61 feeds me for two days. That's one small trip to the supermarket and lunch for two days. That's as far as it goes. Besides, if you don't like the price, don't bid up to it.

Wow. I thought grocery prices were getting high here. $3.50 for a gallon of milk, $10 for 2 1/2 pounds of coffee, and $9 for a freaking chicken.

Not only can I not afford to drive to the store, I can't afford to buy anything once I'm there.

If I wanted that screwdriver badly enough, I would have paid the price. I have a few things I probably paid too much for.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I've never paid "too much" for anything. If it cost too much, i wouldn't have bought it.

Cost of living in London is horrendous. The other day i went to the supermarket, i bought a couple bottles of iced tea, two bags of chips, couple packs of pancakes, small bottle of maple syrup and some Bonjella (ulcer anaesthetic). Cost me $39. with the exception of the maple syrup and the Bonjella that all lasted me 3 days, and i had to buy lunch those days too. Money don't go far.

What's the maple syrup for, Moose? I told you I'm not shipping her to you until I get my f****** plate tub!

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Call it "being prepared".

 

[MachineTech]

I got nothing against pink, in fact I bid on that screwdriver up to $41 and almost knew for sure that I would get outbid. It (and any other pink SO item) would make a great and valuble addition to any collection. Maybe the next one that comes along I'll go higher...who knows. They don't seem to be very common is all I'm saying.

 

[Crasen]

The price for a Snap On screwdriver is ridiculous. But $61 for a screwdriver is just insane. If you think it is worth it though, go for it. I guess if I had money to burn and $61 is pocket change it wouldn't matter to me either.

 

[Stanger]

I could see paying that if it was ratcheting... but its not.

 

[MachineTech]

The last pink ratcheting one I seen went for over $100.

That's what I thought...damn!

But hey, that's the beauty of the open market!
