Official Snap-On Promo Thread

Sending you a PM about the big wrenches.

my dealer said it was about $200

my dealer has a broken one and said he would give it to me if i bought a set of wrenches. it fell off the top shelf in his truck and smashed into 5 pieces

 

[warmpancakes]

odd my dealer got his free, along with the monster pliers

 

[BHH]

What are these monster pliers people are talking about?

 

[warmpancakes]

from the vegas show basically a 3 foot tall pair of slip joint pliers

 

[BHH]

pics?

 

[jeffmoss26]

Trying to find a pic from this summer that was posted on here...

I asked the dealer I'm buying from if he got his for free because I thought he did as well, and he nearly had a heart attack...says Snappy doesn't give much away for free anymore, and actually charges the dealers for their promo stuff even though it comes with wrenches they purchased... But that's just what one guy told me...

 

[schmelpboy]

If either of my dealer contacts has the giant pliers still, you can bet I'll have a pic of them hanging on my wall by next week

 

[jeffmoss26]

Dammit, I can not find the pic

hahah I wish I never saw this!

 

[padronanniversary]

so is the big wrench solid metal ? If it broke like that, I wonder if just pot metal

 

[BHH]

It is resin.

 

[jeffmoss26]

You da man! I was not using the right search terms...

 

[warmpancakes]

I just remebered who posted it and got lucky, dont be impressed

 

[canuckian]

lol I asked my dealer about the big pliers and if he was getting a set or 2. he looked at me all puzzled. guess he just thought they were a display unit for the show. ah well, no big pliers for me

 

[warmpancakes]

shipping them would ****, Tom would get you a pair but you would have to pick them up, I already have 2 pair on reserve a dentist buddy wants a pair for the office

 

[schmelpboy]

Thanks for the heads up on the big pliers. I just ordered 2 sets from a local guy!!

You know who to let know if you do stumble upon extra ones right? wink wink

 

[schmelpboy]

Well, my guy has a few sets on order....If people PM me, I'll get all of them from him when he drops me a price and I can forward it onto you folks. If you PM, please make the title, "BIG PLIERS" that way I won't delete it....he said there is no delivery date or price assigned as of yet, he just has a few on order.

 

[jeffmoss26]

So you ordered them without knowing the price?

 

[schmelpboy]

So you ordered them without knowing the price?

Hell yes. 1) They are green. 2) My man room is the hay loft of a barn, I have the extra space 3) I only ordered 1 set for me, so I can't imagine he is going to hit me too hard, his prices are always pretty good

 

[warmpancakes]

there is no price according to my dealer they get them as a "give away" piece when the 10 piece plier kit arrives

 

[jeffmoss26]

the plier set costs close to 500 bills!

[warmpancakes]

thats list, dealers dont know the promo price yet my driver "thinks" 25% or so off,

 

[schmelpboy]

Well, if they truly are free, I'll get mine at a good price. The guy I buy from would rather sell me free promo stuff for cash than give it away when he will sell the plier sets regardless of the promo deal...

 

[schmelpboy]

And change your name. Every time I look at who is posting you make me hungry.

 

[battlegraduate09]

I want that plier set !

 

[schmelpboy]

Sorry to anyone PMing me lately, I've been super busy buying old stock stuff again....Here's a couple of scores that people have been waiting on....

Snap-on dealer only award....All 4 mugs and the display stand...I've never seen a complete one for sale before.

 

[schmelpboy]

...And the one I've been awaiting myself!!! Picked it up over lunch...I should say, picked up 3 over lunch....If you think this looks huge in the picture, my God, handle it in person.....Brand new, just cut the first box open for a pic....Sorry, didn't remove the plastic covering it, just wanted to snap one for GJ members before I go back to answering all of my PM's about NOS stuff

 

[jeffmoss26]

Wow! That is pretty cool.

 

[schmelpboy]

Wow! That is pretty cool.

It's much cooler with the wrapping off...there's a "Clear-ish" plastic cover over the top so you aren't able to see the detail or the logo....it's pretty amazing. If I ever get caught up, I might throw 1 or 2 on the FS section.

 

[RobertMo1988]

Pm me if you might wanna sell one of the wrenches I might be interested depending on the price, and on the mugs, toolman had a set with the shelfawhile back . I'm pretty sure he ended up selling the mugs individually. I myself bought 4 before, for 20 each. But didn't have the shelf. But let me know on the wrench

 

[m_hatcher]

Same here, I may be interested in a wrench. Shoot me a PM if you wanna sell

 

[schmelpboy]

PMs coming.

 

[marcusicp]

Interested in the wrench! Send me a PM!

 

[BHH]

I was so disappointed with the wrench when I got mine, it was light resin and not even a thin chrome coating.

 

[zbadass28]

Anyone get the 2 foot pliers yet??? There are some on eBay now.
