Addicted!!!!

[BigTJ]

I have the urge to go out and find a Snap on truck and buy a TL72. Is that normal for a man to do? LOL

 

[canuckian]

Nah...what would be normal is to want to buy a TL72 AND a triple bay box to keep it in!!

 

[woody 73]

I am thinking you will want the TL72 plus the box and the whole truck plus the guys dog and his wife...

 

[davesnothere]

Don't fight it.
Just do it.

Great little ratchet, been using one for a while. I have another new one coming in as part of a package; it will probably be on here in the classifieds within a week or so if you are interested, ebay if not.

 

[woody 73]

Don't fight it.
Just do it.

The guys wife or the Dog?

 

[BigTJ]

Well bad news, my new Snap on dealer didn't have a TL72 on the truck. So I bought a SHL80A and a couple of sockets, ordered a FHL80 and and a TL72. I now have a tool account.

Just a natural progression....just accept it. It's less painful that way.....

 

[woody 73]

Just wait till the new catalog comes out like X-mas in the spring time!

Uh, Oh.... sounds like you have the dual 80 sickness; it won't stop until you have a decent arsenal of every type, in every drive style! Snappy ratchets; tend to multiply the more you get; its all over now! Have fun! PS: keep your eyes open for USED too... you can save allot of money that way; the first time you use a tool... it is used! The classifieds, ebay, fleas and pawn shops, are good hunting grounds!

i was so tempted to get one today (or the short ones/its quick release brother) but want to pay off a bit of what i owe first, really nice ratchets though and yup dual 80 sickness, there so much smother then the 36 tooth ones they replaced (what i REALLY want is a rare USA stamped F80....)

 

[BigTJ]

This has got to be the most addictive spending I done since I bought my Harley and Jeep. LOL, now I see a Snap on truck I get excited. I was excited to show my first brand new purchase to my wife and I got the LOOK.

 

[BigTJ]

I have to say the dual 80's are like butter smooth.

If you walk away from the truck after buying just one ratchet, you're doing good.

 

[Hawk321]

Dual 80s.....great stuff...

Back to topic...it's ok...until you NOT drive your car in front of the tool truck while you ride 70mp/h and brake him out or you walk to the vendors home at midnight....then...all is fine.

 

[BigTJ]

Update my addiction, its gotten worse. I picked a THL72 and FHL80 today, kinda like a druggy that got his fix.

 

[Syndicate]

Well, did you forget to place an order for next week or is it just a secret?

 

[moronmountain]

It's normal, but I would just order one online. If you go on the truck, you'll prolly end up yanking out the credit card hehe.

I leave the plastic at home, LOL.

I have a secret list stashed away.

 

[BigTJ]

The bug is sneaking up on me again, I think a F80 is in the near future. Also I sneaked in the garage last night and and texted my SO guy to order a couple wrench organizers. LOL

 

[Benji]

Ah can't have just one dual 80 lol the bug never really goes away.

Heh, my 2 craptastic 1/2" Craftsmans with the 3 drive ratchets and favorite old Thorsen with the exposed mechanism make me long for a nice 1/2" ratchet, not to mention my 3/8" junk. The perils of $1-$5 tools.

I'm just in a home garage, so its not so bad, but its not so good either.

Sort of like I avoid new car lots so I'm not tempted. I steer clear of new tools.

I scour the swap meets for used ones. Picked up a snap-on pickle fork for an air hammer for $2 last weekend. I need front end work on some junk.

I did a search. I see those occasionally and love them.

 

[Humble Mechanic]

I use that ratchet more than all my other ratchets combined. I just got a fresh rebuild on it today. LOVE LOVE LOVE that ratchet. Well worth the money.

 

[BigTJ]

I have so far bought a SHL80a, FHL80, THL72. This sickness is developing fast, HELP. That goes along with the S936, 2 FLF936's, and a F731 I got the other day, with a set of DW 3/8" drive 6pt sockets. Ordered some wrench racks the other night.

 

[BigTJ]

Picked up a F80 and 2 more sockets one 15/16 and 1" 6pt DW to finish that row out on the hansen.

 

[sdguy55]

So are you a mechanic? Or whats the deal with buying all these ultra-premium products?

 

[BigTJ]

Im a shadetree wrencher that has alot of stuff to work on and maintenance and gets all the buddys projects. LOL I work on alot of stuff and junk, I don't pay anybody to turn wrenchs, so I figured why not buy the good stuff.

 

[4x4gearhead]

If wanting to buy one of the best ratchets ever is wrong hey I dont wanna be right! this also goes for rubbing frozen tundra on my private parts.

 

[Brownsfan]

I just bought a thl72 and a fh80. I love these ratchets. I also just picked up a 3 piece Cornwell 72 tooth swivelhaed set. These are GREAT

Im not a huge fan of cornwell in the grand scheme but I do like the ratchets they make, they are comfortable smooth and pretty tough.

Between my jeep and Harley I have plenty to wrench on, getting ready to put a clutch in my jeep. Guess the 35's and 6ft waterfalls got the best of it.
