today i lost a 8 inch green handled pry bar
i owned this for 8 years and now the rest of the prybars are lonely
i really cannot convey here just how pissed i am , losing a tool really really pisses me off to no end !!!!!!!!!!
now i have to spend money to replace it and i do not know if green handled prybars are still being made ,i want colors to match so the question is what does a new set cost nowadays and what do i do with the remaining green prybars?
not to mention they were SNAPON prybars , damn i am mad:mad:

I feel your pain; there is nothing quite as: mind numbing, brain damage causing, and soul destroying... as losing one of your favorite tools! Especially, when its a non-production Snap-On tool! :( ebay is your best bet and email our resident Snap-On dealers (you never know!)! You might put a request in the classifieds section as well! Good luck in your search and emotional recovery! :)

I saw my very first Snap-On FL830 slide out from under a car I was test driving. As I was making a 1 point turn (donut) to retrieve it when some guy opened the door of his ****** and scooped it up. He doesn't know how close he came to trying out his airbag

I have had work done on my cars and found tools left by the tech inside my car; I returned the tool! It made me feel good to do this; since I know the feeling and expense it takes to replace a well loved tool! :)

One of my first-maybe the very first-Snapon things I had was a tiny 1/4" drive flex 10mm. socket.Craftsman thingy like it too bulky. It came in handy in working on my Chevrolet Citation. I lost that thing. Went around the neighborhood looking for it,thought it had fallen through the bottom of my pocket. I bought another one. Years later I found the old one under the miniature spare tire which lived under the floor of the back of the car.
I guess people have locks on their toolboxes for a reason---

Sorry guys. I know how y'all feel. Last week I took a not common 1/2" drive Bog mfg co ratchet out to show a friend. Had it in my back pocket, it slid out and got left on the bus. Was hopeful calling transit lost & found because I was the last one off the bus and my trip was the last one before the driver went back to the garage. It was never turned in.
It was a nice ratchet too. Even Alloy artifacts doesn't have one.
I will be kicking myself for a loooong time for that one.
