My uncle has the bulk overhead on his 761. Very nice setup although when he got the 761 the depth of the hutch and overhead is only like 16in instead of the newer 722 hutch has 21in depth.....

I love the look of a big box with all those bolt on cabinets. So one day I hope to get them all, but to start I have to spend the money on things I think I will actually use more. So top cabinet is on the end of the list

I told my wife I would only get the tools I need off the truck....she said no baby get what you want you deserve it lol that whole only tools I need dont work bro....get what you want. I have a truck accnt and I dont work in any shop, I owe the truck $1000 but I pay my bills so the driver lets me get whatever I want. I have a 722 in green, ive said before im really dissapointed in the hutch for the 722 it doesnt have trim to match the roll cab but it does have a stainless peg board but its fromthe classic series....

My Snapon guy does the same for me, the first time I met him at my friends shop he had a MG325G and I didnt have cash on me. He said take it I know your friend so I will just collect next time I see you...I refused but appreciated the offer was there...

Now for the box I was going to put down like $7000-8000 and get financing from Snapon for the rest, so I can get the box ordered now and not wait. He told me not to do it, he said snap-on charges like the same interest as a credit card. Then he offered to loan me $3000-4000 himself, basically I give him my $7000 and I pay him $500 or so every pay day till I pay him off....

Im kicking myself because back when I first met him he has a green KRL1033 and hutch on his truck with a butcher block top. The box was like $14000 retail, he offered it to me for $8000 cash. At that time I never thought I would ever spend that kind of money on a box so I passed...Now Im buying almost the exact same box for way more....

He also suggested I get the stainless steel peg board in the hutch, I prefer the look of the green inside, but he says they get beat over time and the SS will look better over time....

Is the Embroidering in green too? That's awesome.
I thought orange was your thing Canuck?

yep script on the case is green. you're right, I usually go for orange but figured I'd change things up a little. That and he gave me a bit of an on-the-spot discount on it because I bought an underhood service cart lol.

Not that i saw, alot of stuff is on the website that hasnt been offered for years
I noticed that earlier today.

It really catches one's attention when multiple discontinued items are seemingly available until you realize "Oh yeah, it's just their :spit: site updates."

IMG_2649_zpsbddcf70d.jpg


I also ordered a hard handle green ratchet screw driver with 12" long shank, and a bunch of replacement green hard handles...

I have a question about using them, I had a hard time finding any 1/2" ratchets with green hard handles. I finally found a short one, but I cant find a longer one with flex head. So I plan to use one of the replacement handles and put it on one. So my question is what model of ratchets can I use these handles on? I want to buy any color handle and replace it with the spare green one i have coming....

Can I play? Planning on getting some green handles for the red ratchets. The Wright ratchets that have the red So handles were my great grandfathers that the tootsie handles rotted off

Been following this thread for quite a bit now...but I cant remember if these have ever been posted...who'd a thunk...Cman in this thread :lol_hitti

I've had this Cman screwdriver set for a long time now, I've had a thing for and been buying green stuff before GJ was put on the ol interwebs..

Always been meaning to put em up here, but now that I'm trying to ponder the move into my KRL...tonight I was just tinkering in the shop and had time to take a pic.

So I just traded in my ct4410ag for the new lithium ct8810 in green I also recieved my wire strippers in green. No pictures of those but we all know what they look like. I already have the lith drill in green and the bag is different than the one that came with the impact. The drills bag has a holster in it and also a little box that you velcro together I think for battery storage. The impact bag has niether of those. Also the drills bag is a lighter shade of green where as the impacts is the correct green to match the tool....
my dealer texted me this picture of the 7pc retaining ring pliers get a free mug, or 3pc pliers and cutters set with free mug. Im at work right now so they are waiting for me when I get home two weeks from now.its possible I would sell one of the mugs ill decide later. Anyway heres a pic nice mug though

Hey what's that contraption on the right corner of your tool box?

Its a fixture for testing high mount mechanical fuel pumps on vintage Ferraris.

I've added a few more drivers to the collection....

Just today traded my 9 year old red classic 78 for this nice new classic 96. I have a few green tools but had usually just grabbed whatever he had at the time. Now I think in the future I will have to try to get mostly green. Definitely want one of those cordless ratchets. https://scontent-b-dfw.**.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1461227_640209396024995_1718303488_n.jpg

After using mine I'll never let the batteries run down again. It's awesome.

Re: The Green Tools ****

My first actual hard-handle ratchet... All my others I've just made! Snap-On guy swapped the head on my new FCF72 onto a hard-handle flex, and for the same money!
