I've picked up a few more since this was taken, including a spark plug gauge and striking pry bar set.

The ones you purchased look like what's on sale this quarter. Gray is the canadian distributor of grip on.

Last page

got mine for what looks like a little less than they have them on sale for. I've honestly tried to check out Gray tools locally as I'd love to try some out. There are a few businesses in my province that order them in but have marginal or no inventory and when I ask about items in their flier, I basically get a blank stare. I've even gotten a reply of "never heard of those" when I ask about Grip-on's products lol.

How about some specifics on the indexable prybars....brand/part number?

Matco IDPOSET3. They come as a set only from what i can tell. I also have their 24" (IDP24O) and 36" (IDP36O) counterparts enroute as well. Used the little 8" one about 30 seconds after I took it out of the box. nice and solid for an indexing bar.

Thanks. Might be my first Matco purchase. I dont have any indexable prybars and there's been a couple of occasions recently where I needed one.

Love my snap on orange. Always looking for more. I've got the orange soft grips coming for my ratchets.

Orange replacement handles for my ratchets, new pliers and a #3 Phillips to finish up my screwdriver collection. Where's everybody else's orange lately?!?

nice orange additions, guys! I keep forgetting about this thread. Odd because i have a bit of an orange obsession. I'll have to remember to snap a pic of the latest orange widgets I've picked up.

Wish I had that option when I got my orange box. I love the black so much more than the chrome. Though I do like the stainless top over the armor edge.

I didn't think I could justify the price of those hammers but man they look so good in orange. I'll probably cave

Only one of these is Snap-on but I made the thread so it's okay :D



Thermos came from a friend in Arizona who got it from his SO dealer
Craftsman pliers came from my old HS shop teacher who was cleaning his home workshop. I am still trying to locate the long nose and T&G pliers, I have 2 pairs of the orange diagonals.
