lone star in a KEG is awesome for the 1st drink then it makes you feel green.

Are you sure you want to go here??
This could get into a slugfest with all of the green on this board flying back and forth.
Almost all of my snap-on set is all red, minus the green prybar, green handle ratchets. I eventually want to get the extreme green box and have my complete red set (box and full service tools) be for home use... ah one day. I will post my stuff as soon as I get the last two ratchet handles on wednesday.

Round one then. Here is the green Snap-on gear. If this isn't enough for you, I'll break out the SK, Greenlee and John Deere.....

Green with envy. 
I don't have any green SO, have plenty of Orange though. Green wasn't around when I purchased most of my SO stuff over 20 years ago. Lately I have been adding chrome and not handled merchandise.
Awesome collection you have there.

Actually green and red are complimentary colors and they are the only complimentary colors that are of equal luminance (they balance each other out at 50% of each). For comparison yellow and blue are the extreme complimentary colors and they balance at 20% yellow and 80% blue.
Therefore, You need more beer!

Mine has a white logo on it right now and looks like my old cart under the lid. I do like the KRSC326 cart though, much improved version being an all welded design and I can open any or all of the drawers if I want to (will tip over if you are stupid enough to open all though).

LOL....got those for a really good price-off Ebay of all places. Funny thing was, the day after I got them in the mail, the first thing I saw on the SO truck was the green and orange plier sets!! I'd been bugging my truck guy for weeks! I may have to get a set from him just to keep in his good graces! They'll make a good B-day present for my dad!

May be because I don't know what I was doing, but it is not easy.
I destroyed a perfectly good red handle.

wow, I hate to admit it, but A LOT of your guys' tools look unused lol 
If I were to show off my tool collection (enough to fill my Matco 5S triple bank), even after cleaning everything, they still would look beat next to everyone's that have posted.....
Do you guys even really use them or are they mostly for collection/show????
I have 2 green and 1 red Snappy shot/ball peens and use the **** out of them and it looks like they've been sent through a paper shredder.
Granted I'm a proefessional tech that uses them everyday, but still....

The man who I buy used tools from showed me a set of green snap on screwdrivers,but he would not sell them to me for a cheap price. When I asked him why,he replied that some guys on E-bay were having a bidding war over his green screwdrivers...Darn now I understand.

I didn't show the hammers for a reason.....Not a pro mechanic anymore (we weren't called techs back then) but it took me almost an hour to clean everything up although I will admit the hard handles are new and I gave up on the impact rubber cover and pulled it off to take the pic. You can tell the tools from the days when I used them to make a living from the new ones (Big hint: They didn't have green tools back then.)
They are used although I'm just not as rough on them as I used to be as I can take my time and not care how long it takes me to finish a job. That is a luxury a pro on flat rate doesn't have. My neighbor was here last weekend doing a brake job on his sport ute and was laughing at one of my old 1/2" extensions. It had been used in the past as a punch to drive something in or out of a hole. He couldn't believe that I would hit a Snap-on extension with a hammer and then use a die grinder on the mushroomed end to be able to put it on a ratchet....
Using tools to make a living means they are disposable to a certain extent. Using them to maintain my families cars means stopping and getting a better tool out of the box or waiting to buy a tool to make the job easier.

what difference should it make? I don't use my tools for a living. I use them because I like to and because it relaxes me. I make my living as a network administrator. If computers showed obvious physical signs of use like tools do, mine would be in a smoking heap on the floor. Do I make a point of asking someone with a brand new unmolested computer if they actually use it? nope. I just say something like "that looks like a nice computer, hope you enjoy using it" instead of " you can still see all the writing on the keys of your keyboard...do you even use that thing or do you just look at it???".
I buy the tools I have for 2 reasons...because I enjoy using the correct high quality tool for a given job and, well, because I can.

wow, you guy don't have to get defensive....
I also clean my tools after most every uses. My drawer liners DO NOT consist of grease chunks and/or little oil pools. I was simply making an observation.
I'll also not put it past some of you to simply collect tools and claim them as to be 'used'.
Trust me, I have ell over $10K invested in top brand qaulity tools...they're gonna wear. Don't confuse productivity with winning beauty pagents.
The point I was getting to, came to me when viewing the Snap-On composite ball peens. I regularly have to beat off rusted on rotors and more than once, my hammer (Snap On composite ball peen, green as shown in other pictures), has slipped and taken a few chunks out the hammer body.
You can't be thinking "Damn, which way can I swing this hammer to NOT get is scuffed up?"
The whole idea that comes to my mind sometimes is that "How can I use this fine new looking tool during everyday practical use, without gwetting it scratched or ruining that sweet chrome?" To me, that's not why you purchase top of the line quality tools. I understand respect for what you use, but there is a practicality line somewhere.
To each his own.
And any more defensive comments directed towards my posting will result in my critical thinking of that sole persons' insecurities
ps-and there is a MAJOR night'day difference between professional and shadetree tools use....you can't even compare. If you use them that much as work on the side, then you're a professional...hypocrite
