Matco's site is the worst. Mac's site is ok at best but their damn search bar always gives me problems. I find Snap On's and Cornwells to be the best.
I can't wait to get the new 1300 Catalog. I doubt my SO guy will carry them tho :/

Do the Snap-On dealers give out these catalogs, or are they for sale? How do I go about getting the new catalog?

They sell them for 10x the cost of other tool maker catalogs, but supposedly the paper is better and last longer.

The new catalog will have an index to organize tools by car brands. It will be great for when you're hunting for those specialty sockets for a Volvo or Porsche.

...And yes the catalogs are free.

I agree that the new Snappy website *****, but it is still light years ahead of the other tool companies. I like the Wright catalog because you can download it as a PDF.

Let's not forget though, the Snappy paper catalog has had its own issues as well. Remember 10-15 years ago (maybe a little longer than that) when they took half the catalog and flipped it over? The hardline tools were "normal", but to view the specialty tools you had to flip the catalog over 180°. That was a dumb idea....similar to their website.

I always preferred catalogs, the OLD website actually worked. The new style website is for tablets and they so slow and built by sanford & son.

My dealer gave me the new catalog yesterday.

I was glad to see that they placed all the tools for each drive size together.

The color coded sections looked good at first.

While new (and improved?) it is getting to look and weigh like the phone

books of the past.

As it should....nobody wants a "catalog" with only a small percentage of what they actually have

Soooo.... since the new catalog is out and since those of us who are second class customers and order off the SO Web site cannot get catalogs yet, are there any really neat new products that I might want to order before I can get my hands on a catalog? I'm mainly interested in ratchets, sockets, wrenches and screwdrivers.

I have not seen any major changes in ratchet offering.
The hi performance ratcheting wrenches are listed and one new 0 offset one. But most of the wrench offering are the same.
They still listed transfer punches but are discontinued if you try to purchase.
The new welding bench is in catalog and I think more welding stuff.
I went through the catalog last night it does not seem to have many new products, there seems to be more space in picture layout but not such a difference in numbers of products.
I find the best part of the truck is the new discontinued stock, I just got 3/8 drive 6pt universal in 7/8, 15/16 and 1 inch they have not been listed in a catalog for a number of years.

Just called Snap on asking for one...he said they won't be able to send them to the general public for about another month. But my driver should give me one.

Looks like the catalogs are available to order now (P/N CAT1300) on the SO Web site. Yesterday when I entered P/N CAT1300 it would only allow me to add it to my wish list. Today I could put it into the cart and I received an E-mail a short time later advising my order was being processed.

I love the new catalog. It is a lot thicker and more pages than edition 1200.

The colors and page layout photography, look similar to what Matco's catalog looks like.

Just ordered a new catalog. I don't even bother with the other guys because I haven't been able to get a catalog from them and their websites are just terrible.

Hey Whiffy, where do you see this? I see the FHL80, but that is the same older one. It is 12-7/16" long, vs the FLL80 Chrome which is 17.5" long. (Then there is the FHLF80 Flex head comfort grip which is 13-11/16" long)
