[oak_park]

Hi,

Thanks!

looks like a Harbor freight ratchet with a SO handle

 

[rusty65]

Yeah I 2nd it being a harbor freight in disguise.

The seller is a member of GJ and a seller of a lot of tools--I doubt he would try to sell an 'imposter' !

 

[Mastermind]

could be, chrome looks sub par in pics, however, the seller name is also a GJ member name isn't it?

 

[thesilverone]

ask him. He's on here...camarotoolman

 

[canuckian]

doesn't look like any snap on swivel head I've seen. mine have the model # stamped just above the handle and they don't have the little chrome bit in the center of the direction selector.

 

[warmpancakes]

looks just like my loaner ratchet

 

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

Yeh my snap on round swivel heads do not have that metal pin on the top like that

There is no neck band around the tool. Above the grip there should be the model #, date code and SO name. None of it is there.. Fake

Maybe this CamaroToolMan is not the same guy?

Nope that's him.

Mental note....Another member to never buy from....

 

[Subyroo651]

Nope that's him.

Indeed! Taking a closer look, the auction is listed in Cocoa,FL. A quick search of past threads reveals CamaroToolMan's classified listing location of FL.

Maybe its an honest mistake, maybe he thought it was real??

 

[Buckgnarly]

Maybe, he does have a lot of positive feedback, but then again why not research the tool to at least get a ballpark price?

Guess to be fair gotta wait for him to chime in!

 

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

Must have been to hard for him to actually look at it and look for a snap on part# prior to selling
which it doesnt even have.

 

[neonnblack]

But if you have no reason to look... then why look?

 

[Subyroo651]

^Devils Advocate..

Some page CTM so he can set the story straight. Seems like an otherwise stand-up guy so far..

 

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

But if you have no reason to look... then why look?

Because since most snap on ratchets have the band above the handle with the part#
If he didnt realize that when he purchased it to resell and or prior to listing it then it is pure negligence on his part as seller.

 

[dirtydogintex]

perhaps he was duped by a far eastern counterfeiting ring?

Has anyone tried just sending him a message through Ebay ? Is that a real Snap On handle even ? The "O" is not an O.

Checking feedback as a buyer he bought an orange S/O handle two weeks ago. I'd say its real

The handle yes, the ratchet no.

Also hard to beleive someone with so much selling experience would make such a big mistake....

He bought 2 handles

 

[Buckgnarly]

He bought 2 1/4" drive handles

Uh-oh, what will be faked next?!?......

probably the one that just sold

[ChevyEFI]

I can't say I use the same username everywhere.
But I also don't play the game when selling.

i.e. I don't need "Please email if any problems before you give bad feedback." in my eBay listings.

 

[Buckgnarly]

That's low.......

For the buyer.....

 

[carterbeauford]

Pittsburgh 96781

Snap On THNF72

I don't see a part number anywhere on the alleged Snap On ratchet, or anywhere in the description, or any mention of teeth count. I'd be pissed if I bought that thing because someone stuck a soft handle on it.

 

[ears]

He bought 2 handles

Going back in his feedback he's bought quite a few. Shortly afterwards he's had swivel head S/O ratchets for sale.

Can't pull pics to check that far back. I don't need to see them tho.

Just an FYI, Ebay has a policy against Counterfeit items. I do believe this counts. < Period

 

[dandan111]

Wouldn't it be pretty obvious that its a cheap ratchet? It looks pretty good in pictures but in person I bet not. He has 100% feed back. Im saying its real,I would hate to think one of our guys would scam.
I do have a trust of most of you guys,hell most of us could hang out.

 

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

What I find funnier is some one could buy it brand new directly from Snap on for $25 more with free shipping..

 

[carterbeauford]

could have fooled me by at least using a Gearwrench roto ratchet instead of Pittsburgh, that's just sloppy

Yep every one here should Report the item

Ive sold stuff for over retail, its very common for over seas buyers to pay retail or above and then shipping, because its still cheaper than from snap on direct

 

[PowerGenGuy]

We have ourselves a scammer!

significant breakthroughs in subliminal messaging?

 

[jaysonb]

What a shame.

Probably more like not knowing what you are buying while trying to save a buck doesnt always have its rewards.
