Snap on hard handle numbers

[fordbroncodave]

Can't decide, might get them all!

where did you get that photo?

i want green!

can you take some more pictures?

 

[blown94conv]

I took it this morning on the truck. Ended up with just the red.

 

[blown94conv]

Question for you guys. What is the best way to go about removing a soft handle from a screwdriver to replace it with a hard handle? I have been thinking about this and cant come up with a way to pull the 2 pieces apart without marring them up.

Put the blade in a vise and use a prybar to push the handle off the blade. That's how my dealer does it.

God I really want a green and orange set! Could you take some more pics of the red set you got

 

[blown94conv]

Here is a shot of the logo. There were 4 flat handles and 3 phillips in the pack, all for $99.

 

[mrshaun]

the 99 is a special promo price. Not everyone will get them at that price. The dealer must pre order a certian number to get them at that price.. so if your dealer tells you 129 do not Jump all over him for it. Just be thankful that you are not paying 200+ off ebay.

Hopefully they will be on the website soon because I don't have a Snap-on dealer

They must have just updated because I had been entering the part # everyday. I ordered some Red ones

thanks, those look sweet

If I order directly from the Snap-on website is shipping still free? I haven't ordered fron the website in about three years.

finally ran into and met the local dealer on my way home to lunch today. Asked him about the hard replacement handles and he was told that only the orange ones were available for him to order so far - right up my alley!. I thought that was odd so I mentioned the thread on this website to him and he said he'd call his regional guy and find out about the other colors. I want to get some green ones as well. Also asked about the hard handled screwdriver sets. He said he was waiting in more information from SO and said he'd let me know when he found out. Apparently, the demand for hard handles is very high in this area as well.

Good news for Canadians!!!

 

[mrshaun]

glad to hear they are going out everywhere.

this is going to be a good christmas for everyone.

 

[finallap]

LMAO!!!

 

[mrshaun]

some people cannot get enough.

 

[peterbilr98]

Not a bad price at $130 either...I figured it'd be twice that since they're so popular!

Blown, are there part numbers on those? I don't have access to a truck, but I'd like to see if they are on the website...

 

[blown94conv]

SSDX70AO - Orange
SSDX70AG - Green
SSDX70AR - Red

 

[00pewter]

SSDX70AO - Orange
SSDX70AG - Green
SSDX70AR - Red

Actually, the correct part numbers are

SDDX70AR -red
SDDX70AO -orange
SDDX70AG -green

That was my set. Got an offer I couldn't turn down in a couple hours of listing it so I ended it early. Got another request a couple hours after that for a set.
Personally I didn't dig the "racing" logo under the Snappy logo so I decided to see what the market would do. If I can get another set next week I'll be listing another set.
I noticed a green screwdriver was going higher than the truck price too right now,

My dealer told me yesterday that he couldn't get any as they are already gone. All of them...

 

[mrshaun]

i may not get any either....... this *****

 

[cronic]

I got my SDDX70AR in today. Very happy

 

[mrshaun]

im only getting 6 sets. they are gone for my region.

 

[00pewter]

i may not get any either....... this *****

Just curious as to if they are making any more? or will this be a limited run

 

[mrshaun]

oh no they are still going they cant keep up with the demand.

 

[00pewter]

Ahhh, I see. I ordered my sets through my dealer and last I heard they were supposed to be here yesterday...

He doesn't come to the shop until Thurs though

 

[dwm]

Can we now convince HQ that the SSDMR1 and SSDMR4 should always be available in a bunch of colors? And with the blade-holding-gasket setup of the SGDMRC handles so we can swap shafts and blades without having to do the modifcation ourselves?

 

[Toolhorder]

I have a set of red and green if someone wants a set and doesn't want to wait. PM me

 

[jride200]

With these new hard handles, can the SDDD42 be resurrected (Standard size, reversible shank, with #2 phillips and 1/4" flat tip)? Shanks are still available, but I don't know if the "bushing" that goes b/w the handle and the shank is available... These suckers regularly go for $150 on ebay. I'm not opposed to a little bit of lathe work, either, if anyone has a creative solution.

 

[Red Green]

My dealer told me yesterday that he couldn't get any as they are already gone. All of them...

Same thing my dealer told me. That they were sold out at the meeting. So he couldn't get any sets to be able to sell them for $99

 

[mrshaun]

i just got 9 sets this morning. finally....

 

[00pewter]

Where's the pics, It's gonna be some nice toolporn with 9 sets of hard handles!

I can't wait to see my guy tomorrow...
