Are there green hard handles available for a 1/8" shank?? I'd like to switch a few of my picks over to green hard handles and put a hard handle on my brass seal spoon. PN if anyone knows it'd be much appreciated!

I think the smallest is the SDD2R2RG which has a 3/16" core hole.

Yes those are westling, they aren't quite yellow even though the light makes it like like that, they are a set they tried to do in green but couldn't get the anodizing correct. Thanks though, and the rubber wedding rings are awesome if you turn wrenches daily.

Oh, and here's a little something I whipped up recently, it's a rotisserie-rebuild of a 1979 Wilton Tradesman 1750.
Did you powder coat it or paint? Thinking of doing something similar... What color did you use??

That is one SHARP looking vise
I really wish I knew the part # because I guarantee it's probably half the price directly from Snap-on.
Anyway, here's a link to the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Snap-On-Green-Replacement-Hard-Handle-1-8-Mini-Picks-Hooks-Awls-Screwdrivers-/111424961062?hash=item19f171fa26&item=111424961062&vxp=mtr
Uuh.... No they are not actually.
How much are they then? Considering the orange hard handle pocket screwdriver is $7 with the same sized handle and the screwdriver shank. I doubt it'd cost more than that.

Here is the part # and price for the 1/8" green hard handle and the other colors available.
SPP462AR8RG $6.35 Green
SPP46-2AR8R $6.50 Black
SPP46-2AR8RO $6.50 Orange
SPP46-2AR8RR $6.50 Red
Not sure why the green is slightly cheaper but that is good for you.
Uuh... So, they're actually less than half the price of the ebay auction and Snap-on has free shipping too.
BTW thanks for the part #'s.

My fault...Sorry about that.I looked at pic and price but didnt look at length of handle.I was thinking of the full size handles for screwdrivers etc..
No worries, I know the larger handles are actually pretty pricey like the SDD2R1RG which is the smallest standard sized is $13.65. Which to me seems a little expensive. Now that I know the part number for the mini handles I can put some on a couple of my 1/4" ratchets. I personally think the standard screwdriver handles are too thick for a 1/4" ratchet. I mean the handle itself is wider than the ratchet's head. It just looks funny to me.

Glad to know this part number I am going to get one so my tire valve core has a matching a/c core tool too
Here is the actual green hard handle replacement for the the 1/4" ratchet.
THD72-12G $19.95
This handle is quite a bit smaller than the SDD2 handles and bigger than the SPP mini handles. I almost think the SPP mini would be to small for a 1/4" ratchet handle. Just my opinion though.
Thanks for the part #, do you happen to have the part # for actual 3/8" and 1/2" handle? I've used the SDD2 handles on 3/8" ratchets but still found them too thick for my liking. Now that you mention it I went and looked at my pick set, and I think you may be right about the SPP being too small. Those THD handles sure are pricey though.
I'm guessing that the 3/8" ratchet handle is FHD80-12G?

You are correct on the 3/8" part number and to my knowledge they do not make a specific one for the 1/2" drive in the hard handles. I believe the SDD6 series handle is the exact same size that came on the 1/2" drive. However you may have to drill out the handle to get it to fit.
Thanks again, I kind of figured the SDD6 was the same size as from all the pics I've seen, and from all the people who have converted SDD6 handles to their 1/2" ratchets they looked like the same size.
It's unfortunate that the specific ratchet handles are so much more expensive than the SDD handles. I guess I'll just have to do a ratchet a month or so instead of trying to do a dozen ratchets at once.
You're welcome.
I bet if you wanted a smaller handle on your 1/2" drive you could go with a SDD5 or maybe even the SDD4.

For 1/2 drive I use the sdd8 handles and the 3/8 handle is the same as sdd2 and 1/4 uses a smaller handle
I might try a sdd6 on 1/2 ratchet but you will still have to drill out all handles for 1/2

The old original 3/8" had handles that were the same length as the sdd2, but were thinner. If I still had my old 936 long handle I could take a side by side pic, but I traded that away a while ago for a Matco 88t locking flex head.

Sadly, the snappy man came and went and no green. He did however take some green from me.

I finally have some green to post. I received my new ct8850 today
Some others I purchased awhile ago
I ordered a green pry bar and hammer set but they're back ordered until mid June. I could settle for red and have them Monday but that's no good lol

Nice!!
You might want to put some dribble pads under the other ratchets in the drawer... When I opened it for the first time after getting mine, the rest of the ratchets were cowering in a corner...
It's all good now...

Thanks, 66354D!!! It was 35 years old and in pretty tough shape before I started. I am actually just about to finish up a 4" version of the same vise and will also be selling it on eBay soon
[the previously pictured one was a 5"]. Thanks again for your kind words pilotman81

Have quite a few green tools. Not pictured is my older green Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver, and all my green hammers. An Extreme Green Epiq was my second choice, but I really wanted the Royal Blue.
A couple green matco ratchets here

I still have some tools on order, so no pictures. Hopefully I will get them next week. I am going to be taking a small break from green and start up with blue tools.

You guys that have green toolboxes, do you find that it is too much? I have been looking at new boxes and I thought maybe green, but I don't know if I can handle it. I feel I may end up just looking at it, rather than getting anything done.

Yeah, I think/thought the same...too much green. Good to have a contrast color. I've seen a couple Mac boxes which were black with green drawers...so I did the same to my KRL722...
