Are There Still Any Older Snap-on Drivers Here?

[tooljunkie4]

There are older, discontinued Snap-on items I am looking for that newer drivers will likely not have in stock on their trucks. Ebay is great, but it's not panning out. At the end of the day, I'd rather spend the money directly with the membership here.

Please let me know.

I have an older Snap-on screwdriver with bits inside the handle. It was "gifted" to me in 1987 after an auto accident/repair in that the mechanic left it under my seat. I didn't find it until I was out of state towards the west coast. This one has fallen a few times and cracked the twist cap. but jb weld made it as good as new. I still use it regularly. I've not had any Snap-on drivers ever come around any shops I've worked at, so replacement wasn't a convenient option.

Sorry, not much help.

They are still sold under the Williams brand.

Why don’t you just say what you are looking for?

Because 14 or 15 of us will go “OooOOoooh I need one of those, too” and we’ll go inflate the eBay market for whatchamacallits

And the OP's avatar shows his reaction when that happens.

I think that if you can't find it on Ebay, it's 99% not going to be on the SO truck. (Edit- unless it was discontinued a few months ago). Unless it's maybe something inconsequential like one of the ancient ratchet spring ball tools, etc. The SO dealers have to pay for their stock, just like car dealers. How many new 2022 Subaru Outbacks (whatever) are sitting on the dealer lot these days?

Should have gone older... Autotrader had more than 10 listed.

We're suppose to respect his privacy.

No. We ran them all off with our ******* and moaning about Snap-on prices, financing, and toolbox repo’s

The Snap On driver that was at a shop I visited was older. Like 53.

Because at that point, this becomes a Wanted ad. Then, someone quietly moves the thread to the classified section and nothing comes of it.

There are, at random, several things I'd like to find which an older (long-tenured, well-equipped) Snap-on driver would stand a good chance of being a solid resource for. This thread is intended to find drivers who might have some older things in stock from more than a year or two ago. If they also happen to be GJ members, then all the better. I'd rather spend that money with you guys.

OI have a SnapOn "T" handle socket driver. I is not 1/4" or 3/8" It was in a toolbox I bought. I cannot find the picture. I also have old SnapOn ratchets. See pictures. I never use them, they should go into a collector's stash.

9/32” is the easy choice. I traded mine to someone who sent me a 1/4” brother in exchange. I think both parties were happy.

My old Snap-on driver is probably still living in the lake house I bought him and fishing from my boat.
