No pics yet, but I have a blue KRSC46 tool cart coming. It should be here in a couple weeks. I will post a pic then.

 

[knocker]

Man, I wish SO would start releasing blue hard handles and, well anything in blue

 

[jeffmoss26]

Nice stuff Rob! I've never seen the older style hard handle (square) in blue!

 

[billymade]

Definitely, one of the best colors they made; they should start this color up again!

 

[Scuderia-F1]

I say BRING BACK THE BLUE!

 

[volunteers]

Green, Orange, Red... all look good. But these blue things look very cheap. Just my feeling.

 

[csmitty]

Man I love blue. If I found a nice screwdriver set like that i'd be afraid to use em. Till then orange is my 2nd fav. Do have a blue box though. War Eagle.

blue box

 

[GarageWrench]

Nice box Klarmie, or would you consider that more of an office?

 

[lwlobo]

So the blue are collectible? I have 2 navy blue pry bars (SPB24A and SPB8A). I thinking of listing them on ebay.

I am sure the makers of Wall.E had Snap-On in mind when the ship's computer announced to the mindless passengers sitting fat in their automatic chairs:

"Try blue, it's the new red!"

 

[Sincitymetalworks]

This is the only blue I have my small box that I use for all my fabrication tools at work

[ElasDray]

Oh man, I know if given the opportunity I might pay way too much for those blue handled prybars!

 

[canuckian]

[jeffmoss26]

Since you asked, you do have the opportunity! I decided to go ahead and stick them on ebay, part of my spring cleaning process.

24" Snap On Navy Blue Pry Bar Auction

8" Snap On Navy Blue Pry Bar Auction

I feel a little sleazy shilling my own auctions, and to my friends on GJ, but you asked! I am really curious to see what these will go for. No Reserve, no Buy It Now, just the free market at work. Bids are low so far.

These are better pictures than the previous ones.

 

[Altec]

Got this little guy today.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Custom made?

 

[Altec]

Bought it off the truck.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I didn't know they made those, part number?

 

[Altec]

TMH10. No color codes on hard line stuff.

 

[jeffmoss26]

What do you mean by hard line?

 

[Altec]

Hard line is stuff like ratchets, wrenches, extensions, sockets, etc.

 

[canuckian]

Just got these yesterday in the big box from warmpancakes. Trying to figure out something interesting to make with the extra blue handle. Maybe a blue sdddm1 ?

 

[jeffmoss26]

Put a mini file on it maybe? Or send it to me lol

 

[canuckian]

Put a mini file on it maybe? Or send it to me lol

Lol nice try! Already have some needle files coming to me with proper handles. I thnk one of those little reversible screwdrivers would be cool. It'll save me from spending the $40+ people are chrging on eBay and mine'll be blue!

 

[jeffmoss26]

How would you keep the bit in the handle?

 

[canuckian]

How would you keep the bit in the handle?

Would sacrifice a cheap one for the holder part. Just drill the handle, epoxy the holder in and voila! Not totally snap on but it'll work....I think? Lol if not, i'll refer to it as an "attempt".

 

[Altec]

I've changed the handles on 6+-in-one screwdrivers before. Pull out the insert that holds the shank, and drill the new handle for a press fit on the insert.
