That's very possible, I didn't really think about that. I guess I just assumed that it would have been on there if they were on the truck.
Website is terrible and poorly updated. For what they charge for the tools, you'd think it would be better. That said, the main product sale point is likely the truck, so why do they care about the site?
Yeah I thought the same thing about their website, that as soon as the dealers got their hands on the new tools it would be on the site.
Oh definitely, I picked up the the 3/8" version a little while ago, used it one time and it paid for itself. It provided a simple solution to an otherwise difficult to reach fastener. I think I'm pretty well set on my needs tool wise for the most part, now I've been working on my tool want list haha!
For 99% of my work, 3/8 is my 1/4 drive haha, so usually my go to stuff is 3/8 stuff- ratchets, sockets, impacts, etc. So kind of the opposite of you.
Just remember the Snap-On website has a wishlist feature so you can keep track of your wants for your driver
Hahaha I didn't ever see that on there. My driver would probably know what I put in there somehow and always conveniently have those items front and center on the truck, or a special sale on them. Could be dangerous!Just remember the Snap-On website has a wishlist feature so you can keep track of your wants for your driver
I wasn't aware that they did that.
I have a similar style in Mac. What I like about these vs the Snap on is a short pivot to the top of the head. But I also like the snap on is longer they both have their positives. So I have both.
Is it an older ratchet? I read somewhere, probably on here, that they made them for a while and then discontinued them.
I wish we had more options than Snap On here at our shop. We're pretty rural, there was a Mac guy at one time, but it was long before I started. We did have a Cornwell guy too that stopped about once a month for about a year and then disappeared. We used to have an independent tool truck for a little too, and he disappeared. Maybe business isn't big enough around here to support multiple tool trucks.
I bought my T860MP in the 1990s at the EAA fly-in in Oshkosh WI. Snap-on had a booth in the commercial area.
Ok thanks, that's pretty cool! Were/are you an A&P tech?
No. There's something there for anyone who is technically minded. It is a fabulous event and it's a great way to spend a week for the whole family in the summer. Everyone camps and there's plenty of support including shower facilities and food services. I worked for Ford in Product Development here in Dearborn.
That sounds like it would be a good time! Do they still hold that event?
Ford is currently in the middle of rebuilding the Engineering Center. It looks like a war zone because of it. They are estimating that they'll spend around one billion dollars. Many of the areas I worked in are gone. I spent 35 years working there and retired in 2001. I live about 2 miles away.
Must be a heck of a revamp for 1 billion! I'll have to check it out the website! Thanks for the offer if I go I'll give you a PM.
