The Green Snap-on Tools ****

[Chris83]

As Promised...Hot off the truck for ya:

Thanks again!

Chris83 can you please post pics of this install ?

I am just curious what's involved.

Snap-on dealer says it's pretty easy to do but I may just have him swap it for me

 

[Coolguy83]

Takes some pics let me know.

I think I have read too many pages in this thread lately. I came up with this out in the garage. I was looking for a project and had everything on hand.
It started as a box I got at lowes on clearance and had a crinkle black finish.







and it in use as my dresser organizer

 

[jeffmoss26]

That's awesome!

Nice work on the custom paint job on the small box fitz11!

Reminds me to ask...Minus the OEM Snappy Spray can of touch-up paint, what is out there for "Correctly shaded" Extreme green materials...any Vinyl, Spray Paints, Powders, etc people have found?
Really asking because I'm thinking of switching the trim out on my KRL to Green....

I have found Plastikote April Green to be very close match. Comes in 400ml spray cans.
Cheers

Thanks! I used rustolem fluorescent green and as you can see it's not really close. The can did say to do a white base coat though and I didn't have white on hand so mine has a primer gray base. It might be closer with the white base.
I know snap-on uses ppg paint, and that paint supply stores can custom mix spray cans. Maybe someone could take in a drawer and have them use their color camera to get a paint code. I had a spray can made to do some touch up on my truck and it cost me $15 a can.

the high temp grabber green spray paint is close.

Got in some bid war over some homemade green tire tools.. o well it happens to the best of us. also ordered this light threw my dealer to replace my older style blue one.

Does anyone know how you make the tire tool?

Like im assuming you would use either the mini screw driver or pick handles but i dont wanna destroy one and find out the core tool shaft wont go in it

 

[Bhfear]

Some new stuff I got today
Remote starter, hose pick, seal removal tools

 

[paranoid56]

woot, also got one of the valve stem remover

 

[Spudland_Dave]

Met my guy today...
He pulled this out of some NOS boxes he had in his garage just for me
Just debating whether or not I keep em...only thing in that set I don't already have is the magnet..

 

[jeffmoss26]

Those aren't NOS, they are current stock.

Re: The Green Tools ****

Plier set I picked up today.

 

[chevydyl]

so here is my latest tool pickup, super bad LED flashlight, green, mini tool boxes on sale for 71 bux each, also got the prybars for 50 bux off, also got the 3/8 wobble plus extensions, and the SAE deep set to round out my 3/8 sockets, got the mini 12 pc, and a 3/8 impact swivel, and the green torx set... pretty decent haul this week..

 

[paranoid56]

do you know the part number for that?

 

[Spudland_Dave]

Those aren't NOS, they are current stock.

NOS has nothing to do with current stock or un-available. NOS = New Old Stock. Just like there are NOS PF35 oil filters...not rare or un-available by any stretch of the imagination, you can run down to your local wally world and grab a new PF35 any day.
In my case my driver told me he pulled them out of his garage stockpile, they were covered in dust inside & out, I spent 30 mins cleaning up the nylon pouch...still some dust in the deep crevices ...IMHO, NOS Description fits, they were new and CLEARLY Old stock. He also wrote em up as "Used Tool Sale" because they weren't in his system...well the pn# was, but showed he had 0 available.
Paranoid56...If I had the PN, I would post it...but its on my receipt as "USEDTOOL", no PN#'s on the pouch I can see either.

All that BS Aside...I was under the impression that this nylon pouch assortment was still available, but the current offering is instinct handled. AND previously there also was a "Comfort Grip" handled version.

 

[tjmonsen5]

do you know the part number for that?

Sdmini10g for his kit, with classic handles. I ordered a set last year, new.

 

[fitz11]

do you know the part number for that?

SDMINI10G is the current part number for the hard handle 10 pc pick and mini screwdriver set. edit tjmonsen5 beat my by a minute.

My definition of NOS is a new item that is bought after the manufacturer no longer produces the item.

 

[jeffmoss26]

If those were actual old stock hard handle, the part numbers on the picks would be 3ASAA, etc.
The "re-made" ones have part numbers like yours, SD3ASAA. The screwdriver shanks are not knurled either, and the plastic smells.

Thanks for the scolding

Call em whatever you want...year old tools covered in dust are NOS in my book.
New - Check
Old Stock - Check
I picked up a OEX080B couple weeks back...date code of 2010...NOS in my little world. I guess to some NOS = no longer available....BTW, plastic doesn't smell on these...probably old enough they've outgassed all the smell.

 

[wchamberlain]

My 4 dead blow ball peen, couldn't find the 8 in green, so red it is!

Just picked up the extra long cabinet in green as well!

 

[fitz11]

My first and definitely not my last snap-on green

 

[chevydyl]

I put my lathe cutting bits in my mini box's. The tool bits are 1/2x1/2. Plus the mini boxes are just plain cool...

 

[amlv20]

I store my good drawing markers in my mini box at home on my drafting desk.

Do you have a part number for the screwdrivers? Also are they the soft or hard handle?

 

[just a noob]

SGDXXL20BG

The handles look like they're soft to me, seems like hard handles look almost gray instead of black

 

[Stuey]

It's no longer in my hands but was a fantastic knife. Was my only green Snap-on tool.

 

[jonb347]

not sure if i posted this before

They are the instinct........soft handle
