Don't have any pink handles..

I'm about to get a yellow one though..

 

[PeteW]

Does craigslist count for this thread?
I picked up this Blue-Point cart recently off of Craigs List for cheap. Does anyone know if where I can get some gas shocks to replace the hinges for the top cover of the cart?

I also included some pics of my Orange SO tools for Moose. Who out there wants to send my the orange handle 45* angled pick and the small flathead screwdriver to replace the ones I lost in the kit?

We'll let this one slide.

Looks like a good haul, the cart looks very handy, i like the screwdriver storage in the side, that'd be perfect for those prybars which i'm sure you'll find you often reach for.

As for the mini-tip set, you should be able to find them on eBay if you keep an eye out, as individuals or incomplete sets pop up from time to time.

Some how I think moose might be a little jealous of that last haul, uh can you say orange?.... if you know model # of your cart (usually a white sticker on the back and inside the box if you remove the drawers) and look it up by going to the Snapon parts section of their website: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/parts/main_xml.asp

IR industrial 2906P1 1/2 impact...retails for $700 plus. I got this one new for about $125

I think pretty much everything in this drawer came via Ebay and still need to do a cutout for this little 3/8 gem that i got for $35 or so shipped:

What kind of toolbox is that?

 

[logical]

What kind of toolbox is that?

That's two Closetmaid base cabinets That I screwed together, reinforced and added casters to. My tool collection grew slow so i just kept adding Craftsman Ralley boxes and never jumped to a big roller cabinet.

Some how I think moose might be a little jealous of that last haul, uh can you say orange?

I have a set of Snap-on orange striking cap prybars, brand new i paid something like $80 for off eBay a while back when they first came out.

 

[magick]

Just got my 23 Stahlwille combination wrenches. Was sure an eyeopener when I saw the size 34.. That thing is big

 

[Merkava_4]

They're sure homely, but how do they feel?

 

[magick]

I only have my blue point ratchet spanners to compare it to.

They feel strong and light. The head is thinner but I think they will most likely last forever.

The chrome isn't polished but then again they're for work not to hang on the wall .

As far as grip goes it might be a bit less comfortable than the BP.

The stahlwille does have a tighter fit than the BP. I measured the 10mm as 10.02mm wheras the BP measured 10.15

Overall I'm very happy.

Unfortunately their is no sticker anywhere on the cart (the Blue-Point is a black sticker, so maybe its not really a bluepoint cart?).
Also it originally came with cheap metal bars instead of shocks, so I am trying to upgrade it to use shocks.

I have a set of Snap-on orange striking cap prybars, brand new i paid something like $80 for off eBay a while back when they first came out.

I think the prybars and the mini pick/screwdriver/torx came as a discounted set when I bought from the truck around 6 years ago.
They were not part of the haul, but added just to throw some more orange handles into the mix.

A side question: Is rust on the prybars part of the Snap-On lifetime warrantee? they have always been stored in the drawer of a toolbox and all of them have spots of surface rust. I think my biggest problem is that I don't use them enough to keep the rust scraped off of it all.

Holy ****, Rick! Looks like you filled in allot of holes in your tool collection! Do you like the "comfort grip" handled snapon stuff that isn't made anymore; compared to the new Instinct handles?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

That's quite a haul you got there!

I got myself..

Snap-on multi-purpose bars, use them as big screwdrivers or prybars.

Snap-on yellow-handled screwdriver, this'll be "adapted" into an airbag removal tools for VW-Audi airbags. Colour-coded, as all their airbag connectors are yellow.

And.. *gasp* not Snap-on, but a Hazet long 5mm ball-end hex driver. VW-Audi factory tool No. T10058.

I like the old comfort grip handles, but the instinct handles are not bad either. I just look for what I consider to be good deals on stuff that I need.

[GDA]

^^ Rick, I have those radiator hose picks and I really like them. Props on some very nice additions to your tool set.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I just got myself an original 1944 Snap-on poster.

it's not big, 8" x 11". But i like it.

$6.13!

A few more recent ebay purchases

12volt test light



Old style removeable magnetic tip screwdriver



Old style comfort grip handle screwdriver set



A80a stud remover



Rick

 

[billymade]

I have a Old style removeable magnetic tip screwdriver just like yours; got it at the flea market! The only thing is; I am missing the screw on cover for the end!

 

[Moose-LandTran]

2 Down.. a lot more to go..

Snap-on rigid carb adjuster. One socket from the set missing. Not worried, haven't touched a carb in a long time..

Snap-on 1/4" breaker bar with hard handle. My friend bought this, then immediately realised he didn't want it. So it became mine. This'll get a ratchet head and a compact 3/8" gear.

 

[rocketman]

American Girl Doll Boogie Board (for my daughter)

THIS for me....

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I was worried for a second..

 

[Fedwrench]

There's somebody on this board that wears pink slippers that would be envious of those flippers.

 

[Detroit Diesel Man]

Not e-bay but Craigslist...40.00 Mac Tools Heavy Duty Driver set.

 

[nissan_crawler]

THIS for me....

*drool*

I hate you. The things I would do for a green soft grip ratchet.

 

[CAT_serviceman927]

*drool*

I hate you. The things I would do for a green soft grip ratchet.

Did you see Atlascylce's green SO dead blow ball peen hammer?(Let's see your tool box thread, pg. 73). I have never seen those in any color other than red(the newer style that is). Thought you might like it since you seem to dig the green handled tools.

 

[billymade]

GREEN! I wondering now if green is actually more scarce then the current obsession color ORANGE? Moose, can you get a orange replacement handle for the breaker bar; I wonder if they are removable? I have seen the my dealer replace screwdriver handles but never ratchet handles. I would assume they come off... anyone know?

 

[wrenchr]

*drool*

I hate you. The things I would do for a green soft grip ratchet.

I have this in classified's!!

 

[48548]

I just thought I would show some of the drawers to make it easier and I am missing a couple of ratchets I haven't gotten yet...

 

[billymade]

Man, you have tons of good stuff in there and the vintage Snapon box makes it even cooler (is it the kind with the roll down front cover, that locks?); can we see a pic of the overall box? Do you think if you had a bigger box you could access your tools easier and use organizers for your wrenches? I don't know if you have enough ratchets and pliers! LOL! How do you like your Wiha precision screwdrivers? I love mine! Overall, most everything is top quality stuff! Awesome!

I've been wanting one of these for a while and finally found a brand new one! Snap ON no longer sells it

 

[billymade]

What did you pay? Maybe Snapon is in the process of making a Dual 80 version?

 

[aaronloveszztop]

About 80 bucks, it was worth it to me I've only ever seen one more like it. If they make a dual 80 I'll get one too, but I doubt they do, if you have a ratchet that doubles as a speeder you won't need to buy a speeder?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I got myself some more goodies..

Some Snap-on Cummins diesel engine tools.

Snap-on 13mm Distributor Wrench for Pontiac L-4 engines. More use to me for VW polo shoft linkages during clutch replacement. $5.50!!

Snap-on double offset 13mm Ring Wrench, good for various VW nuts and bolts that are hard to reach.

Snap-on GM carb adjustment screwdrivers. Why? Those handles, as always.

Snap-on TM830 1/4" ratchet, brand new!

Snap-on F830, also brand new!

aaaaannd.. my big finale: Snap-on KRA side locker. Costs £738 new, i paid £155. Going to pick this up hopefully on Saturday. Hurrah!

Yay for me!

 

[Frank Elson]

that'd be worth £155 to me on its own, without the rest of the box ...
Where are you getting it from Moose? We're heading south but only to Worcestor on Saturday to pick up a Range Rover for my mate.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

That end box alone is the £155 purchase, the other end box and roll cab in the pic aren't mine. I'm picking it up from somewhere in Sussex. They guy had two on eBay, both had a buy it now option for £250. The other auction for an identical box went for £195.
