Yes it is true. The part #'s will be standard across the board for most parts just adding a Y for yellow or P for pink at the end. There will also be the 5 pc screwdriver sets in both flat and cross tips. The hard handles will be hard to get though as they expect only a few of them to be produced into the market, while most will be of the instinct style.

I wonder what the first sets on eBay are gonna fetch??????

I mentioned earlier in the year that I wanted to replace my ratchets and such with Snap-on and color coordinate them by drive:

1/4 = yellow
3/8 = orange
1/2 = red

Unfortunately, the yellow was causing me a problem, so if Snappy brings it back, they'll be selling me a good bit of tooling over the next year.

I'm a green person, but I don't think I could hold back on a yellow flex head...

^^^all I have is older yellow stuff. Maybe I'll do a group shot at some point. It's scattered all over the place between the house and shop.


Looking forward to these being available. I'll get to fill out my sons tool set a little more :beer:

I know you guy's are going to give your color blind friends the pink handled tools. :) How do color blind people color code thier tool? There are two kinds of color blindness. You can see different colors but not the same ones. My father was color blind. Just imagine if you were color blind you would not have anyting to talk about. LOL :eyecrazy:

I have a few SO tools, however I don't get the importance of the color of handles. I keep thinking they are tools and unless they are used in a pristine environment they will get dirty and the color will be kind of moot. Don't be too hard on me, but what am I missing?

They have to make sure they have the right ones to match their purses and shoes...
