My First SO Purchase!

[TAftw]

I got a package in the mail today:

I wonder what it could be?:

Is it what I think it is?:

Yes!

A brand new Snap On F80 and SGA173B!

Both were bought with my student discount for the convenient price of $57.13!

I can't wait to get them home and start using them!

 

[fordbroncodave]

good price. you need to buy as much as possible with your discount

Two of the classic and try great Snap-On tools; I would recommend a Snap-On 3/8" swivel head ratchet.... probably my most used ratchet I own! :0

Thanks guys!

I think the next purchase will be an SX80A. I've used them before and LOVE them, I just didn't have enough cash this time around to buy one. I'm trying to build up a set of tools I can USE, so a set of prybars are also on the list.

This tool thing is addicting, I'm definitely watching what I'm doing with it though. I can't afford to be in debt just because I have a discount.

Nice I have the same radiator pick it is awesome. You can find lots of different picks and they are all very good.

I like the way you think concerning debt.

...even though it would be hard to resist at that discout!

Holy ****, thats a great deal!! Even with our discount, our guy wants $60 just for The F80!!!

Thanks guys!

Thats the reason i have barley bought anything from my rep. Just because i have the discount, doesnt mean ill go into massive debt to get great tools. Ill start out with basic tools then bulid my skill level up so i can make the money to buy the tools.

I love how snapon always sends their tools to you in a massive box. you should have seen the box that my last breaker bar from them came in... it was giant. I could prob squeeze 95 percent of my hand tools in it and they sent 2 things. a hammer and a breaker bar...

 

[TAftw]

tooth, I've found tons of uses for the radiator pick. We called them "booger pickers" where I worked. We were a mature bunch .

I definitely am not getting ahead of myself now. I'm only buying essentials and I've been scouring ebay and CL for better deals. When I have an actual job and am making the big bucks is when the real tool and toy purchases will happen .

TAFTw, where do you go to school? im in MA as well. your rep let you buy a single pick and use your discount?

 

[csmitty]

Its the begining of the end. Trust me. It started with the F80 and S80 for me.


Credit only gets you in bad spots.

I LOVE those, but I've seen some killer deals on them come and go on CL. I don't know the policy on secondhand products and I don't know what the condition of the batteries would be though so I am a little wary about getting one used.

use that student discount man wish i coulda used more of it. get the 3/8 mg325 combo kit with sockets thats a good deal. i bought alot more matco because it seemed to have better deals than snappy

 

[not-required]

I love student discounts but you defiantly have to watch your self and not get trigger happy. I didnt use any of my snap on discount but I am using my Matco discount a lot because I get a better deal.
