    Upgrading ratchets

    Sigh. That is what I am afraid of. Is buying a snap on ratchet a gateway drug!?!

    Upgrading ratchets

    I gotta ask, and I have always wondered this. Where the hell are people getting all of these new snap on (or whatever) tools to sell at a 40% discount? One eval seller is selling brand new f80 for $95 and has already sold 88 of them. Where did he get 88 snap on ratchets for a price lower than...

    Upgrading ratchets

    Is there anything to consider when buying one new/slightly used on ebay? Just find The best price and order? I did look at the flex head, that seems neat. Never had anything quite like that!

    Upgrading ratchets

    At the risk of creating a small war on the forum..... I am looking to upgrade my ratchets. I currently have chanelock 72tooth that came in a set 10 plus years ago. I love them, but I was thinking of treating myself to a bit of an upgrade. I have been looking at the F80 ratchets, but am other...

    New ICON Tool Box

    That is what I was afraid of, and even my original ICON order was a stack with no workspace, and the delay allowed me to reconsider in a few ways. I think this is best, and I can always toss a box on top of the stainless steel top withough taking up that much real estate in reality!

    New ICON Tool Box

    Guy texted me today and we talked, he said if price was a consideration he would go to 5000. I just can't figure out what to do with the top box. I have no clue. I need the workspace upon consideration I really liked that Ford box.

    New ICON Tool Box

    So my icon ordeal has come to a close. Three weeks to the day after I bought it(and 2 weeks later than I was supposed to have it delivered) I "returned" everything. The past few weeks have helped me rethink my needs. I have decided that having a 30" deep box would be a good thing to allow for...

    Snap On Tool Chest Valuation

    Well, call em crazy, but I am passing on this. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it work in the garage. It will fit, but I have come to realize that I need a work surface of some sort other than my table saw. And I can't figure out how to incorporate that with this set up, I...

    Snap On Tool Chest Valuation

    Where would his name be? On FBM? I don't have facebook, so I am not logged in. It might show his name, through a different screen. But yeah, all in all, there are some oddities. But given the age of the box I thought the price MIGHT be reasonable FWIW, the pictures don't turn up in reverse...

    Snap On Tool Chest Valuation

    Went from in line to a steal, eesh :) ? I wouldn't bring cash first meeting anyway, but you make a good point about a cop buddy. I do have a few armed family members... I doubt the guy will reach back out, we will see. Speaking of scams (That for sure are a scam) Matco Box listed local to me...

    Snap On Tool Chest Valuation

    Hi All, Forgive me for perhaps posting this in the wrong place, BUT I came across this on Facebook Marketplace today, and I reached out to the guy. I have no clue if he will respond, but in the mean time, I thought I would possibly ask you guys for an Idea on valuation/an offer to make if he...

    New ICON Tool Box

    UPDATE So I spent the morning making some phone calls, first to the Icon help line, then to the store where I bought my box, then to another store that is near by. Here is what I learned Icon Sales/Service Line: This is a bit of a mislabel. They can't help with sales, they can't check with...

    New ICON Tool Box

    Yeah...... Luckily my Service experience while frustrating, has at least been successful if getting information. I am glad you are liking the box so far! I have been looking at used, but sadly where I am seems to be a bit of a black hole. if only I lived by the Ohio/Pennsylvania border, I would...
