Did snap on make blue hardhandles

[BackTracker]

So I got bit by the snap on bug and I have been looking at and buying a bunch of snap on tools. But, I can't seem to find blue anything... Did snap on make blue hard handles? And if so when?

 

[dlfiene]

Yes Snap On did make a dark blue hard handle and a light blue pearl color hard handle. I believe it was in the mid to late 90's when they made them!

 

[spongerich]

They show up on eBay from time to time... based on the money the bring, I'm thinking that they're probably platinum filled.

I just sold three of them, including a ratcheting to one of our members here for considerably less than platinum price.

Have any Screwdrivers on that truck of yours?

 

[mrshaun]

the only blue ones are at home by the brown ones and the green ones. sorry.... those are super rare to find on a dealer truck. I have a lot of older hard handle ones like the 12 inch number 3 that is hard to find anymore sddp123

 

[pacsguy]

If these hard handles are so popular, I don't understand why snap on isn't going crazy mass producing them. How hard is it to make colored handle screwdrivers. The demand is obviously there... why not make more money?

 

[mrshaun]

it takes so long to make them.

i'm gonna say it was early-mid 90's i bought a set of dark blue handles.

 

[mrshaun]

i sold a set in 2001 for sure, but I never saw them again. had green and black for a while then it turned to soft grip.

 

[JSBriggs]

There were also a couple dark blue ones in the american flag set.

[ElasDray]

I got my set of seven dark blue hard handles in 2002. They were used of the truck. They were in great shape when I got them and they still are today because I hardly use them.

mrshaun, is that ratchet for sale??! what ratchet is it?

 

[mrshaun]

I wish I could sell to you boys, but it is agianst franchise regulations.
you guys would like the old stuff, especially the screwdrivers.
sorry

 

[D9H 90V]

Damn, My dealer never has any NOS stuff

 

[mrshaun]

you might have to tell your dealer what you are looking for and if he is willing to buy the stuff off of e-deals off of his my.snapon.com website.

 

[mrshaun]

Hmmm, I didnt know dealers could do that

 

[mrshaun]

most guys do not know anything about it. i just bought 1100 worth of tools tonight. mostly little stuff

 

[Colotow]

so these would be the pearl blue ones?

 

[BackTracker]

yes, and you should sell them to me immediately

 

[Spareparts]

Got my dark blue screwdrivers in the early 90's because I wanted a different color than eerybody else had, also got a set of the Aqua blue Bel Air set to match my Bel Air Box, never opened them still in the screwdriver drawer.

Same here, in fact I think those Bel Air screwdriver's will never ever be used by anyone.

 

[BackTracker]

Pictures or it didn't happen!!

 

[Rickster]

I once had one for a while!

 

[remileblanc]

got these of ebay a couple weeks ago. they are hard to find if your willing to pay.

 

[biggie]

i have a couple dark blue screw drivers but never seen a set

 

[Spareparts]

My computer skills are very limited, would be easier to take a picture and mail it to you. LOL

 

[shmokinjoe]

Dark Blue with extra phillips.

 

[Toolhorder]

I think I'm gonna ***.

 

[Even 11]

[Rickster]

That piece for sale, Rickster?

Everything's for sale! PM me if interested.

 

[rwhite692]

I have a few blue handled ones that I've collected over the years. I never bought any of the more rare colors (pearl blue, pink, bel-air aqua, pearl white)...I do have a few of the dark green ones which are not pictured....Those are interesting, in that they are NOT the "Ducks Unlimited" ones.

 

[Toolhorder]

Cranberry is the ****

I know this is an old thread, but I am resurr-erectioning it for this...

Brand new old stock....

 

[chris6278]

I want that ratchet! Is it for sale? Edit: nevermind didnt realize this was an old thread

 

[Toolhorder]

so these would be the pearl blue ones?

I know this is an old thread but a tech in my shop has this set above. They have ACR shanks in them and he said he got them through Acura as a reward for training or something. When I told them how rare they are and how much they get on ebay he said he had the original flyer from Acura someone and he would dig it up. I'll post pics of his and the flyer if you guys want to see it.
