As mentioned above - welcome to the club. I have an inkling to the solid chrome handles and have the 72 tooth version of the roto-ratchet, but the mechanisms are beyond comparison in my humble opinion. I wish you well!

Damn good first purchases.:thumbup:

I have the QR version of that flex head, and that 3/8" mini roto is my go to for hard to get at spark plugs. They will serve you well.

And Coffee mugs, clocks, calendars, stickers, posters, beer steins, salt and pepper shakers, coolers, watches, cheese cutters, grills, grilling tools....
See where this is going? :lol_hitti

Microwaves too.

OP - next you'll be buying them with quick release. The qr's are worth their weight in gold. Enjoy!

Oh and socks. The socks are arguably the best product they sell.

FL80 & SLF80A are two of my favorite ratchets. Snap On does a good job with ratchets.

Some of us get jackets too.

When I purchased my Masters Series KRL7023, with that expensive bedliner top and a $220 cover for the box, for about $13,000 after taxes, all I got was a ************* made in China "Snap-on" pen. Meanwhile, my fellow mechanic purchased a Classic 78 and yea...he got the pen, too. He also got the nice-*** Snap-on jacket, the hat, a couple free tools, and some other stuff.

Yea, my SO dealer ***** ***.

I have a small box of Snap On give aways, you see some of the prices on ebay.

My dealer was in a pinch and borrowed a dowel pin puller and pieces from the bushing kit to make a tool to pull a 9/16 pin out of a rare harley case.
My guy takes care of me and I help him where I can.

More for humor. I have 10k + in snap on. I have many other brands however and in my option function to value is better served by sk sockets/ratchets and wright wrenches. I do like my snappy ratchets(dual 80) and hard handled screwdrivers (now available through Williams). When I worked in a farm dealer shop we refered to the snap on truck as the **** train. I was the only one that never opened an account and all but 4 of my snap ons tools were aquired barely used from techs leaving the field.

Did Snap-on ever make a coffee cup? I could use a new coffee cup.

Yes they are the stainless insulated type and the handle looks like a wrench. I'm sure there have been others.

Right now my driver has a steak knife set on his truck

I made the mistake of buying a bunch of non quick release, now I'm buying quick release. I agree I love the QR.

You'll soon see that Nice ratchet will work a little better once it has a snap on socket and extension. Just seems to work better.

Nice first purchase! I just bought my first two snap on ratchets a few weeks ago. The super long handled, soft grip, in 1/4 and 3/8. Love them both!!
