Here is a good condition Snap-On KRSC30 Roll Cart/Mobile Work Center (RED). This Roll cart has a lot of space for all your tools needed to manuever. It has a big top storage where the lid flips open (lockable), side holes for prybar and screwdrivers, 3 ball bearing slide drawers and a extra big bottom shelf for bulky tools. Measures out at 45" tall 32" wide and 21" depth. I bought this for $1700.00 at snap-on truck so take advantage of this great deal.

His Snap On dealer saw him coming if that's true. These were, what, $600 new?

I noticed Snap On prices have gone up lately. A KRSC31 was $715 a couple of weeks ago, now they are $840.

Offering for sale a New-In-Box set of Snap On screwdrivers with pearl white hard handles.
The set is a "500" Limited Edition Commemorative Set -- you can decide whether it's the Daytona 500 or the Indy 500,
The set # is SDX500 and I figure this is 25-30 years old, but the handles are timeless -- Snap-On has reintroduced plain-jane ones for replacement purposes, because lots of folks, like me, prefer them. So if you want to use these, go ahead, I bet you'll be the only one in the shop with pearl white handles -- nobody's gonna get away with 'borrowing' them. Or add these to your Snap-On collection !Came from the estate of a gentleman who owned $40-50,000 in Snap On tools. The pics show the package as-found, I didn't even wipe a little bit of dust off them. AMAZING CONDITION, FIRST $600.00 TAKES THEM AWAY, THIS SET NEW WAS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS SO SIX HUNDRED IS A GOOD DEAL, THESE ARE BRAND NEW IN BOX AND PLASTIC COVER NEVER OPENED, 419-514-1047, THANKS FOR LOOKING!


Thats over $100 for each screwdriver. To be $1000 for a set of 5 screwdrivers 25-30 years ago requires a high roller mechanic.
I dont know how to take a picture of the ad and insert it into a post.

Idiot du Jour. I can understand a non-tool type getting confused with technical items, but mistaking a ladder for a scale is somewhat beyond the pale...

Came across this one.. Not tool related, but thought the idea of a steam powered jet ski was too good not to post.

Check out this idiot:

He never even says if it is metric or SAE. But Grainger sells the sets for $997 and $990 respectively. But wait, they are 19 and 20 piece sets, so his "like new" set is missing one or two pieces! Oh, and better yet, they go on Amazon for around $850.
