[wchamberlain]

Electricians can finally use snap-on?

 

[pl_silverado]

Electricians can finally use snap-on?

That's about it. I've been waiting to get a good Robertson #2 as I wear out the kleins fairly quickly.

 

[canuckian]

It's about time they decided to put out a set of robertsons - and the fact that they're hard handles is a bonus!
And damn that orange Epiq box is nice!! Someday.........someday.

Electricians and Canadians, new kleins are dissapointing, I mostly use them at work and they seem to be wearing fast. Anyways I may have to try the snappy version.

 

[rsanter]

and where were these taken?
what trade show?

I have been going to SEMA and am a bit suprised that I have never seen them there

bob

 

[earlthegoat2]

I think it must be the Snap On franchise show....correct?

 

[pl_silverado]

Yes.

 

[pcpro15]

Would have been sweet to see all of that stuff in person. PL, are you a dealer?

Robertson's are basicly nonexistant in the US.

 

[NWphotog]

PINK really?!

 

[austinlord13]

There's at least $500,000 worth of merchandise in these pictures if not more.

 

[2oolhound]

Wha... still no expresso machine!?

 

[Wesley B]

I used to think matco had the better looking boxes, but these shiny snap-ons are changing my mind!

 

[pdizzleinmt]

If you own a camper you need a #2 Robertson

 

[dieselmike]

I use robby's all the time

 

[canuckian]

That's unfortunate. Robertson is one of the better screw head designs IMHO.

 

[greasemonkey44]

robertson exists in the us; its not as prevalent as in canada but i find them frequently
i like them much better than phillips btw. The design allows much less camout

 

[Zengineer]

Phillips are designed to cam-out, so as not to be overtightened during rapid assembly line work.

The only reason Robertson isn't the standard worldwide is because of his disagreements with Henry Ford. The one place that Canada has been ahead for decades, screw head design.

There was a lot more than that.

 

[pl_silverado]

Maybe next year?

 

[pl_silverado]

Forgot to mention theres a new 18v 1/2" impact coming out also...keep an eye out for it!

 

[wchamberlain]

PL,

Just what Snap On needs..............another $650-700 variant of a great tool............LOL

 

[pdizzleinmt]

What about a new cordless ratchet?

 

[pl_silverado]

What about a new cordless ratchet?

I do remember seeing one, just forget the details.

 

[pdizzleinmt]

That's good to hear. Would make service calls much better for me

 

[cat06]

are they going to make the 14v cordless impact with lithium batteries?

 

[chadster1]

are they going to make the 14v cordless impact with lithium batteries?

They weren't at the show.

 

[cat06]

They weren't at the show.

Thanks

Same battery design?

 

[GeorgiaHybrid]

Same battery design?

The new CT7850 has a different battery design than anything else they are making (stupid to change to me...) but it puts out 100 ft-lbs more than the CT6850 series.

The cordless ratchet is a Blue Point model that I think is sourced from overseas.

Silverado, wished we had been able to meet up at the show. Ate lunch with Chadster and had a great time talking with him.

 

[kams1973]

Are they going to phase out the older road boxes??

 

[William Payne]

If Snap-on can sell a black hard handle screw driver in the roberston set then why can't they offer their screwdriver range with the black hard handle?

Whats it going to take for snap-on to re-release the black handle?

 

[spoolgarage]

That really pisses me off another new battery design? That mean another charger. BOOOOOO

 

[BackTracker]

Oh my god. That was beautiful. Thank you for the pics.

There's always next year

 

[mrshaun]

the new impact is going to be awesome
there is a blue point cordless ratchet, but i did not see the specs yet. looks like the at700 series or something similar, justwith a battery attached to it.

That's a little disappointing I was kind of hoping it would be based on the 7.2v batteries or something similar
