I don't think that's true, but they do lose them all the time. In taxis, on tube trains etc..

It's nice to know that our "intelligence" services are stupid enough to leave their computers on the train.
Whoa, a lot's been posted since this morning! I remembered reading it somewhere (a NZ-based newspaper or news site here), and it was at the time that there were a lot of cases of date theft/loss in the UK, especially through MOD staff taking out laptops... I really hoped to find the link, but since I can't, I've retracted it- thanks for calling me on it Moose, I'd hate to be peddling urban myth! I'm pretty sure it's now the first result on the google search for 'ministry of defence' and 'pink laptops' though...

3 dealers from snap on now.
1 matco that I know of
there may be an independent dealer as well.

There is another Matco dealer other than daveblank. Billin21 I beleive. He does not post much. Quattrojohn is an independent in England I beleive. There is also a Cornwell dealer that has made a couple of posts that I have seen.

they do exist. sorry I had to add that.
our cornwell man has been here for 2 years. the one before that lasted 6 months and the one before that went to jail for signing people up on contracts that never purchased anything. he popped one if my good customers for 6000 on an otc scanner. cornwell has a bad rap out here.

Is it just me, or with this whole discussion of pink tools does anyone else hear the Pink Panther theme song, maybe start imagining those old cartoons...

Never bought anything online from Snap-On (at least not yet). Is free shipping offered for all items? Would anyone know if it would apply in Canada?

I bought a ratcheting and 4 pc. pink instinct set off my dealer today. The ratcheting screwdrivers were inside his truck box and he's sold out 1 left and I got it. He said all of the pink stuff is going fast.

My Dealers truck was almost 1/4 stocked with pink stuff last week. He was really nice and gave me a couple of pairs of the pink Snap-on socks to give to my Mother from him for Mothers Day. I strongly debated buying the pink ratcheting screwdriver for my Dad as a joke but he already has a few other colors and I think the Blue-Point one he normally uses is actually nicer than the S/o ones so I had to resist.

I have one ssdmr4bpm left and thats it. also have a couple pair of socks. everything sold fast....

My wife and mother have claimed most of the pink socks. Most of the guys in my route are laughing at the pink. Its not selling that fast in the ghetto.

Hello gang, been a while

I picked up two Pink ratcheting screwdrivers. I have a good dealer that I pass on the way home. I call, he listens and calls when it comes in. I asked him 3 months ago to get me two pinks for my mom and wife. He had some more pink stuff.

I picked up socks and screwdrivers for the ladies in the family, he threw in socks for me (sans pink thank you) and I went on my way. The cordless pink screwdriver was tempting but I passed. My Milwaukee is cutting it for me right now.

The original Mothers Day ratcheting screwdriver was not Pink but rather Purple. (SS0MR4B)
