Here is Williams listings of their dealers, punch in your zip and look locally: http://www.jhwilliamstoolgroup.com/Content/18.htm
They list online vendors too but am still trying to search online for them; was that online vendor I linked to not willing to order them? I would assume they are a dealer if they list their stuff online; why wouldn't they sell them to you if they listed the product online? That is weird!
I never called them to verify stock; they just came up with a quick "froogle.com" search with the williams part # for the 8 piece set of screwdrivers. Williams products seem to be harder to find then most and only available from "industrial suppliers"; not retail type tool websites.

The local vendors wanted $90 .... all2ools.com says they will try to order, but Williams is current not shipping ... may take 2 ~ 3 months but you can't beat their price ...

I don't remember every having any red handle Phillips; I'm thinking I've must've got a set of straight slots and then got the SDDX80 tray separate. :headscrat

Most of my flea market screwdrivers are black handled but once in a blue moon a; blue, green, orange, yellow or red will pop up! I buy pretty much everyone I see that is under $5!

Sam I am, green eggs and ham.... Part of the "benefits" of owning all used flea/pawn tools is most of them being marked with Jose, Fred, Sam, Joe and Mike; every other name under the sun. I have one with double "**" from a 40's vintage tool (can't spell his name?) and my latest marked Snap-on FAR25A 1/4" air ratchet which has quoted scripture on it "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me" Philippians 4:13! I couldn't figure out what was on it at first but once I cleaned the ratchet body it became clear what all the scribbling all over the tool ended up being.

I have never seen those at any flea markets...

I have been able to find straggler colors in my "loose United Colors of Benneton" Snap on Screwdriver collection.

One Pearl (sold), One yellow(sold), a blue (I like the blue, I sold), several oranges, a couple of reds, many blacks. No Green or Turqoise :(

I have the turqiose Chevy Bel-Air set. When I get a second, I'll run out to my shop and take a pic.

Ya know, I had this red Snap-on set on my ebay watch list, until it got crazy stupid with the bids. While my tool budget could support the price, my good sensibilities cannot. I don't need the perfect tool box if I can create a close to perfect project with something else. nuff said.

I spent about 9 thousand dollars so far this year for new Snap On tools and will spend thousands more. This is only about 270 pieces. I think you could get a thorough set of new Snap On tools for $27,000. It would not have every tool you need for every job, but a near complete set of common hand tools.


I have money to spend so I do not have to go into debt to buy these tools. I pay cash.

A friend of mine is a diesel tech and workshop foreman, he makes a lot or money. He has one of those 145" Snap-on boxes, with top boxes and two side lockers. Completely full. He's 27, and reckons it's set him back some £150,000 over the ten years he's been builing up his collection. That's almost $300,000. All paid off.

We went to move it across his workshop, we had to use a flatbed truck with a crane to move it. 5 of us pushing would barely move it.
