Snap-on screwdrivers with brown finish. Really?

[garfunkle24]

Saw these on ebay, noticed in the Q & A he was telling potential buyers the shanks had a brown finish. Is this correct?

Hell, if that was the closest picture he was going to post anyway, he may as well have just taken them to the wire wheel....

terrible picture, he will probably lose himself some money by not including better shots..

the stubby flat head looks like it is a gs industrial finish.. he probably thinks it should be brown but instead is supposed to be dull black.

yes, check the 1999 catalog - snapon's new proprietary technology called "rust"

i'm guessing they were all industrial finish and the larger one's did rust.

Yeah, but it gets worse. I hear they're moving production of the "RustTM" line to Beijing

They're industrial finish, and not rusted. For some reason they sometimes go a bronze colour, a few of mine are like that, not rusty at all, but bronze.

You can find the hard ergos with the industrial finish shanks in the 1995 catalog.

They just went for 61 bucks

So who bought them? I was watching them all week but, I didn't bid enough.

I have the identical set they are not rusted. I wanted chrome but my snap on rep ordered the wrong ones so I got a really good deal on my set. They are holding up well but they are only a few years old.

No worries .... you can get the same drivers from Williams and they'll have chrome shanks.
