Snap-On universal socket set
« on: April 05, 2012, 03:41:26 PM »
Found these at the flea market near here.
Only missing the 1/2" universal to make a full set. Date code marking is 1965 year made.
47 years old.
Guess they have been in someone's drawer, but never used.
All are super tight, no floppies. Absolutely no wear.
I went to the Snap-On website, and found the current set,,priced at 455 Dollars!
They must discount these some, don't they? That is a shocking price!
I'm going to use them next time my lawn tractor needs maintenance.
Oh, I paid 20 bucks for them.

They may discount them, but never down to $20 I don't think. Nice find!

I have the same set ( maybe not the same date code ect ) and I didnt pay nearly that.

I was always fond of the cardboard box sittin on the floor of the tool-truck. It held all the tools that were re-claimed from the tool guy on prior purchases that coudnt be paid for

Every now and then they disscount but not alot. Or they just throw in a free hate or something small. But its rare that they disscount much.

I think those unerversal sockets are great. Exepcially in half inch drive. Not to meantion they are in very nice condition.

20 bucks, thats one heck of a deal.
