The Snap-On Man Came Today...

[austinlord13]

Last week, I asked my brother if he wanted a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver that I had saw in his box that he never used. I was missing the end cap and all the bits. So I got it and took it with me on the Snap-On truck and was wondering if the Snap-On man would trade me something for it. He traded me the same screwdriver but brand new in the box for the old one and $20. So I got a great deal considering I didn't pay for the old one.

It's gray and they are cheaper than the regular ones actually...

wonder why that is

They probably are over stocked with them. The gray was for father's day.

Wonder will the Snap-on man turn in the old ratcheting screwdriver for Warranty

I used to think such tools were silly... Then I used one...

I have an orange one!

More then likely if the mechanism dosent skip, he'll get a new end cap and re-sell it. Most dealers (I would think) will take trade ins and re-sell them at lower cost then a new one.

Used tools on a truck are not uncommon in my experiance.

Does anyone know if Snap-On dealers will buy used tools? Or trade-ins only?

I bought my buddy the old fashioned non-ratcheting one (like the picture on the box). Never was fan of ratcheting screwdrivers. Also bought him some extra Torx bits.

I need to get one of these

 

[OldMechanik]

I've got two...green and green, and a ton of bits. I don't like any other screwdriver out there.

I have a black one. Thought they were gimmicky until I tried one. I love mine.

Depends on the tool & the dealer. I dealt with a guy who would buy a used tool if it was in demand for some credit. He let me trade a dial torque wrench plus some cash for a ratchet set. But they normally don't. The last dealer I dealt with did not do it.
