Does anybody know if snapon still makes these? I can't find them
I would like to buy a longer one just like in the pic

Thanks

I was looking for a bit handle from snap on about 6 months ago and had no luck. Pretty sure they no longer make bit handles.

I know that the ratcheting screwdriver with the removable shank has a couple of options for magnetic bit drivers, but I don't know about a traditional hard handle.

Part # on the long one is ssdm80a
Nope no longer available.... i was looking for one a few years back with no avail so i made my own. Bought a SO handle and a long bit holder welded some "wings" on it and drove it in. Ill try to remeber to pst a pic monday if your interested

 

[Bunit98]

Yes please do bodyguy16 that'd be great

Nope! Sadly long gone! They are the old Tenite handled models dating from the mid 80's!

Good tools though!

The only hard handle bit drivers now available are ratcheting models, and they have the newer style hard handles (can't remember what they are called)!

Part No's are SSDMR1A for the short, SSDMR4B for the regular and SSDMR8A for the long!

With the possible exception of the superb T handled models, these are the best bit drivers in the catalogue. Vastly superior to the soft grip interchangeable shank things!

Don't be afraid of buying the older ones used though! Even if the handle has some scuffs, they can be removed by polishing with progressively finer grades of abrasive paper!

Bodyguy did you ever get a pic of it?

 

[bodyguy16]

Sorry just noticed your post, ill snap a pic in the morning!

 

[Bunit98]

That'd be great thanks!

Here it is:


Shank from tip to beginning of handle is 8 inches.

I've got two of the middle size, bits store in the handle. Tried to warranty one and was told NLA, wouldn't do anything for me...

If you want a longer one, just make one yourself. pop off the handle and get a long one from somewhere else and press it on. I make a lot of 1/4" drivers that way, take a nice handle, long extension, drill and press it together. I really like the 1/4" socket driver handles that can be used as an extension and they can be hard to find...

Thanks for the pic body guy. How much was the handle if you don't mind me asking

 

[Bunit98]

Also tank what is the part number for that? Thanks

 

[tank4114]

SGDQ6 for the driver and SGDQ16KT for kit with diamond bits

I dont recall the price on the handle but i think it was around 13$ or so.... the shank was 12inches long overall. I made it 6 yrs ago and use it daily no problems

Looks like it has skyrocketed, saw one that sold for $50ish on fleabay.

why not just get

Because It doesn't have a special and magically sacred 6 letters.

I use this. they have it in longer shanks too.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

that's cool, but I am not fan of new grip.

You can get it in the old style as well
