SO ratcheting screwdriver availability

gj67stang · Mar 22, 2011

Are there any other colors of ratcheting hard-handle screwdrivers available from Snap-On?

I know there's:

SSDMR4B - Black
SSDMR4BO - Orange
SSDMR4BR - Red
SSDMR4BPM - Pink
SSDMR4BTF - Gray

I thought I heard somewhere that they brought back the lime green one, but I can't find it on SO's website.

Seanbev24 · Mar 22, 2011

I bought a green one off the truck 2 weeks ago.

Biomed · Mar 22, 2011

I did some Google searches and found P/N SSDMR4BG for green but that P/N does not work on the SO Web site.

Up And Down · Mar 22, 2011

I do not have the part number for the lime green either. If someone does, please post back. I know that in the past, along with the colors mentioned, there have been a dark green, purple, light and dark blue, yellow, brown and the ever elusive clear.

Quik208 · Mar 22, 2011

I will check in the morning. I just bought a lime green one off the truck last week.

mrshaun · Mar 22, 2011

you an get the green ones on the truck if the dealers still have any.
track down a dealer and call them to see what they have left.

Up And Down · Mar 22, 2011

Shaun,
Do you have the complete part number for the green one so that it can be added to the list here? Are there any other colors available besides the ones in the original post?

Thanks

mrshaun · Mar 22, 2011

just add the G after the B

Sterff · Mar 22, 2011

I guess no one likes the gray ones. They are 10 bucks cheaper.

mooman · Mar 22, 2011

The pink ones used to be as well. I think they are the same price now.

gj67stang · Mar 22, 2011

So, the lime green ones (SSDMR4BG ???) are available new from Snap-On, just not on the website?

I'll ask my driver next Monday for ya and see what he has since I;m only a "stone's throw" south.

Sounds like a "truck-only" short time run.

Yea. I found out I was hung up on a conference call, ran late and missed him by 15 minutes. *&*&*%$#.

Needed parts for my Blue Point/SO service cart too. Booooooo.

Will check next Monday.

Will also have a good friend who is serviced by another local driver on a BIG route on the north side of town ask if they are aviailable.
That's a Thurs. route so I may know more by Friday.

DHCrocks · Mar 28, 2011

I have a yellow one.

canuckian · Mar 28, 2011

yep...pretty sure it's a truck only limited run. My guy only had the one green one that I bought left (only had them a week) and I haven't seen them since. If I remember this week I'll ask him how he got them - if he had to specifically order them or if it was something they randomly sent out to the dealers.
it would be kinda cool of Snap On did this with all the different colors from the past. I'd love to get a yellow one and a blue one. Ah, who am I kidding....I want them all!!!!

No I bought it many years ago. It's still my favorite.

mrshaun · Mar 28, 2011

I just got 3 more from another dealer......

3 more green ones? Wanna sell one? PM if you do.

BobsurUncle · Mar 28, 2011

Are the green ones really that hard to find? Got these two this morning.

Quik208 · Mar 28, 2011

I like the pink. On one is giong to steal that one! lol

Since they apparently aren't available from Snap-On's website and some of us don't have access to a dealer, yes, the green ones are hard to find.

truckdriver · Mar 29, 2011

Saw a SO truck in Shreveport this morning on the way back to OK. He had 3 green one and I bought one.

mrshaun · Mar 29, 2011

I go through a lot of ratcheting screwdrivers because I have about 20 aviation shops and that is one of their favorite tools. So color options are a must with these guys.
this color green is different from the last green ones we had.

Up And Down · Mar 29, 2011

Anyone have any more part numbers to add to this thread, even if they are not active? What about the yellow, blue, and the ever elusive clear?

slayer6x6 · Mar 29, 2011

I'd love to see a clear one, I've never heard of such a thing!

Compliments of Google. Not mine!!!

mrshaun · Mar 29, 2011

those were before my time for sure and this will be my 10th year with snap on.

00pewter · Mar 29, 2011

Mr Shaun, if you have any green drivers, let me know. I really would like one

This green seems to be a duller color, kind of a matte.

mrshaun · Mar 30, 2011

I agree truckdriver.

you're right, it is a matte-ish finish but the color is pretty close. I compared it to an older green t-handled ratcheting driver I have and they're near the same color green. I think it doesn't look as bright because of the matte.

Flash21 · Mar 31, 2011

Anyone know if SO will be expanding the availability of colors in the SSDMR1A line? (the stubby) From what I can tell, they still have the orange and the black but I was hoping for other colors.

Sterff · Mar 31, 2011

Since the gray driver was for father's day does it say anything different on it. If it is like the rest of them I may buy one.

toolman1967 · Mar 31, 2011

I received one of their Ratcheting Screwdrivers as a present years ago. Made me a believer in their quality. I get S.O. when I get the chance.

mrshaun · Mar 31, 2011

gray one is normal. nothing extra. I picked up one of the PROUD TO BE AMERICAN ones the other day. It came in the red white blue screwdriver set a few years back.

gj67stang · Mar 31, 2011

Just in from Snap-On:

"Thank you for contacting Snap-on Tools.
SSDMR4BG will be the green version of the SSDMRB but it is not available yet. It will be several more weeks before this is orderable

Thank you,

Snap-on Customer Care"

Moose-LandTran · Mar 31, 2011

I ordered a yellow one today.
