what makes this so expensive ?

 

[egdede]

Desire w/money I guess. The part # appears to be discontinued though a similar one seems to still be available. Hard to say what the difference given SO uses drawings and not pictures.

$10.00 for the new part #

By similar you mean just the replacement blade. The screwdriver with handle is not available from the Snap-on link.

 

[egdede]

Ahhh...

 

[earlthegoat2]

I actually really need one of those for my work. I think I might just make one first.

 

[picshooter]

I have an earlier handled version. It's sole purpose (for me) is for the drain / fill screws on outboard motor lower units.

 

[hammergodthor]

They don't make anything similar anymore. I had to have my SO dealer make me one (Instinct soft grip + insert bit from a impact driver). The replacement version of that screwdriver has maybe a 1/4" tip, not big enough for many applications. These are used a my work for valve adjustments on Cummins engines.

Extremely overpriced. Buy a German (Wera, Wiha) screwdriver and you'll never look back on Snap-on screwdrivers.

A classic case of a discontinued tool.... bringing all the dough! I wish Snap-On would watch these things and bring them back!

Wow!!! $100 for a snap on screwdriver?? That's all?? Only $100?? That's a smokin' hot deal!!

 

[wornoutoldman]

i will be putting mine on ebay with a $100 reserve

Those people bidding must be on crack!

I think every boat mechanic I've met has one of these.

Friend of mine says they're popular with car thieves. Full length grip + short shank = easy to exert a lot of force, but easy to conceal.

I'm not a real big fan of the craftsman pro type handles. they seem a little on the cheap side. but certainly a lot better at $5 each!!!!

Here's the Craftsman version @ $6.50 regular price:

[Displaced Hokie]

Why buy the S.O. when you can't get warranty service for that exact one? Guess it really does do a specific job well.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I have two of those, practically brand new.

I have one of these Craftsman models and use it all the time. It's a good screwdriver. Wish I could have paid $100 for it.

Overpriced??? Really??? But it's a snap on!!!!!

No, they just understand that it's a privilege to own and overpay for a snap on tool. No price is to high for a snap on.

According to the Snap On link above, it does come with a black handle.
