Hi guys,

Well I have been a motorcycle mechanic for all but 12 years. I have accumilated a good quantity of tools during that time, and 95% of them are Snap-on brand.

About a year ago, I changed careers, and no long need this quality of tools sitting in my garage doing nothing.

I have EVERY SINGLE RECEPT for all of these tools! Totaling $12,764.71
The box has 21 drawers and is 41 inches high, 63 inches tall and 21 inches deep. The box its self IS NOT SNAP-ON! It is a quality box, with Snap-on logos. If I sold it all together, I would like to sell it for half of what I spent. So for $6,000 I would deliver these tools anywhere in PA, or the boarding states. (Ohio, NY, MD, DE, NJ) Free of charge!

I know most people dont have $6,000 laying around for tools..... but ya never know.

Because I know you are going to ask.... Will you sell sepratly.... I would rather not, due to hassle, and being left with a hand full of tools that I didnt sell, and or have not a complete set of something, which makes it much harder to sell.

So please ask any questions you may have, and spread the word! Remember, I'll deliver to any boarding state for free!!!

































This is less then half of the drawers! They are all 100% full!!! All of them! I didnt want to take up to much space on here. I have a TON more!!!!

Please pass this around to co-workers or who ever may be interested. OR if you know of somewhere I can go to sell them.

Thanks for you time and effort!

you will punch yourself in the weiner the day you need something out of that box and its gone cause you sold everything
Seriously, I LOLed when I read that! Too funny! :laugh:

I know, I thought that and was told that by some friends too. But I want to sell it all, buy a set of cheap- no names fot the little things I do, and keep the money for other "investments".

P.S. my tires should be here soon!

Yeah, but no names work, O.K. for once a week use. Snap-On is the onlt brand that I trust if I have to use them everyday, and its my living.

What about a whole set of something? Say all of those socket wrenches?
There is well over 500 individual tools. If you add up all the socets and alien wrenches, it would push almost 1000 pieces. The hassle to ship them all out, with out knowing what shipping would be, before I shipped it would be a uber pain in the a$$.

Great deal!

Advertise Locally for the whole set, if that doesnt work contact me asap, I already see some stuff I need. Shipping is not that much of a pain, jsut order pre-dertimend price boxes from USPS. If it fits in the box it ships for their flat rate. Simple.

I would buy the ratcheting socket wrenches, impact socket set (assuming its metric)

and all of these with red handles haha

Yeah good idea about the flat rate boxes. If I decide to sell piece by piece I have literly 3 times what you have seen.... All snap-on. So don't get tunnle vision on what you want just yet. There is one member that said they want all of it, so I'll wait to see if that works out before I sell piece by piece. I'll keep you all informed!

Oh, yeah! It is 99% metric.

Honestly I would not sell those tools. I know you most likely need the money but quality tools are something you can have for life. Unless you were disabled and literally couldn't use them anymore. I've been a tech for 6 years and was wondering what you do now?

Well like I said I was a motorcycle / atv mechanic for all but 12 years. About a year ago I switched careers. I now write repair manuals for Case Newholland. I Still get to think like a mechanic but do it from behind a desk. I love my job and know I'll never go back.

Man, unless the banks coming to take the house, keep those tools.

If however you want (nay, absolutely have no other choice) to sell stuff independently, I assume you have a full set of torque wrenches (different drives and in./lbs ft./lbs) in that box. Would totally buy those... Plus there are some sockets and wrenches I've been looking to get.
