Couldn't you always get the handles, just not complete screwdrivers?

Not even lying, they look more and more like the Williams driver...handles are now identical except for the colour.

I don't see the pdf, does anyone? (without it, as far as I am concerned, someone could have drug up an old backup webpage)
Its a new page, just look under the new products link on Snap On's main page, as for the pdf, i dont see it either.

Yes boys they are back just the handles and you can order them. No more waiting to get one from ebay.
You wanted it now here they are. Order away....

How do you figure that since the first words on that page are "New Products for June 2010?"

Of course, it's to Snap-On strict specifications...

Any chance they will be making screwdriver sets as well? or just handles only?

You've never seen an error on a webpage?
Now that we have had verification, from one of the resident dealers, I stand corrected. I just didn't want to get my hopes up, only to be dashed.

no sorry the instinct pick handle is all they have for those.

I don't see any relevance whether the item is made in the USA, or elsewhere to be honest. If the quality is there I don't see the problem, really . . .
As for the price, well I won't go there . . .

OK I'm new to this...how do just handles work for you? How do you get a screwdriver blade into these handles, is it a do-it-yourself process?

I was told a long time ago this was going to happen, but no one wanted to believe it until they saw it....
Now you can finish off the old sets in your box....

Bolster you are correct.
there are many threads here on how to change screwdriver handles. \many guys use these on their ratchets in place of the soft grip handles.

If it's a "put your own shaft in the handle" affair, what's to stop me from converting my Williams screwdrivers to Snap On?
Nothing.....

Nothing . . . But the handle will still be marked with the Williams number.

now a dealer can order the handles and build a set on his truck with the replacement blades that are already in stock.

"That don't make no sense." The handle will be a Snap On handle, with a Williams shaft.

Yes the shaft of the handle . . .

the snap on shaft will have an S stamped on it.
