Just call me a Snap On Dual-80 *****....

[biggsean]

I just won this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250237430804&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=015

I saved about $75 over the price from a Snap On truck, not including sales tax I would have had to pay. I scored an FH80, FHL80, and an FHBF80 for $210 shipped. Truck price would have been $285 plus tax.

Wow, you really are stocking up on Snap-On; you got a nice group of ratchets there! Most of my Snap-On ratchets are all the old styles, not sealed and no rubber ducky on the handle! Now, I need to sell all my old stuff and get new ones!

 

[biggsean]

Haha, I really like the feel of the comfort grip because I have huge hands. I only want one other ratchet now (maybe two) and my collection will be complete. Gotta keep my eyes peeled for an FHX80.

 

[ratchet_gear]

LOL!!! I don't tell people that I am a snap on dual 80 ***** but a ratchet/wrench *****. I just can not help my self when it comes to these two particular items. I probably have about 65 ratchets including 11 of the new snap on dual 80 ratchets as well as probably 500 wrenches. The sad thing is that 90% of them will probably never get used, but hey, I am an addict, so please cut me some slack. (LOL!!) I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!!

Would you be kind enough to share a couple of photos with us? Some of us poorer folks could use the pics as screen savers.

I haven't tried the Dual 80 or the rubber ducky either.

 

[wrenchr]

You have to get one Merkava!!! I have a F80 / FLF80 / FHL80 and the TL72 and GT72.
And I do not want to use another ratchet!!!

 

[davestlouis]

Unless it's a Stahlwille...

 

[eschoendorff]

Sean, you are a ratchet *****. There I said it. Never mind that the FX80 is next on my list.....

 

[wrenchr]

Unless it's a Stahlwille...

I just want one Do not need it at all.

 

[wilbilt]

Sean, you are a ratchet *****. There I said it.

I knew that was coming.

You are so darn predictable LOL.

 

[biggsean]

Sean, you are a ratchet *****. There I said it. Never mind that the FX80 is next on my list.....

I won't argue with that statement.

I actually need to get rid of some of my older teardrop craftsman ratchets that I KNOW will never get touched again after acquiring these babies.

Two sets of these.

These have been used. Picture was taken when I first got them.

The next three pictures are of (THE GREAT WALL OF WRENCHES!!)

 

[wrenchr]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[l_bilyk]

Oh wow.. do all those tools ever get used?

 

[ratchet_gear]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

My wife thinks I am nuts but I always remind her that I could be spending my money on worse things. As you can see I have a little bit of a problem.

 

[wrenchr]

As I do as well.

 

[ratchet_gear]

Oh wow.. do all those tools ever get used?

Unfortunately, no they do not. I’m an addict, what else can I say.

But on the bright side, I should be prepared for any situation.

 

[wrenchr]

If you can afford it go on ahead in my book. Thats what I do.

 

[wrenchr]

Do you frequent fleamarkets?? I love them. Tools up the yin yang

I got the tool bug about 8 years ago when I realized how much money I could save my self by fixing things myself. When it comes to cars, best decision I have ever made in my book.

There is a flea market called seven mile fair in my area. So far that is the only one I know of. When it comes to tools though, they don't have much to offer.

 

[Fedwrench]

I am impressed

You have perhaps the largest collection of new tools I have ever seen and that's not a bad thing.

 

[ToolmanTom]

Ah you are a big tool ***** like me! I am only up to $40K in tools and counting. is there a TW meeting any time soon?

 

[Danglerb]

I've been using someone elses FKF80 and its growing on me fast, kind of wants to stay in your hand while you look around for something else to use it on.

 

[Merkava_4]

You guys hear that?!!? I'm off the hook now!

Saving money may have gone out the window after your 4th duplicate set of snapon wrenches.

Nice collection there!

 

[Uncle Buck]

You guys hear that?!!? I'm off the hook now!

I totally agree, you have displaced from the throne! Yup, no question about it, you are now second babana!

 

[Todd.Brock]

I just ordered an fhl80. I hope it lives up to the hype. That snappy ratchet drawer is what dreams are made of.....

I'M tempted to add it to my collection...

 

[wilbilt]

Holy dredged up thread, Batman....

 

[Honda 1]

Great tool collection, Tony!!!
I see you have the Craftsman Quick Wrench set. I only have one such wrench, a 1 in. which I bought on clearance. I used it a number of times and it works well.
Also, I see you have the Extreme Wrench sets from Craftsman. I have them but have never used them yet. Have any of the other board members used the Extreme Grip Wrench yet? Do you think they are worth having?
Whenever Sears comes out with these "new" products, I usually wind up buying them. Examples of these "gimmick" products are Bolt-Out, Screw-Out, Extreme Wrench. To date, I haven't used any of them !

I've used the screwouts on porches and decks that the weren't predrilled and the screws were stripping. It requires a slow drill though.

So now I gotta ask...

In all honesty, how do your 80s compare to your GearWrench ratchets???

 

[Todd.Brock]

I dug this one up b/c I was searching for what people thought of the long handle 3/8 inch ratchet. Its about 12.5 inches long from what I read. I got side tracked and replied.
Pedro, What is the S80 you are referring to??
