Just returned from my kijiji find for the day...

These had been listed for "< 2 hours" when I saw them, so I'm a little surprised they were still available:

I don't really need either of these sets as I already have the older version (which I prefer for their coolness factor) of the line wrenches and a nice set of Duro-Chrome angle wrenches, but at those prices I wasn't going to pass!

Apart from a bit of dirt, they are spotless - not real signs of wear and no markings.

In Canada, the line wrench set RXFS605B is $227.40, the single metric 10mmX12mm RXFMS1012B is $43.35 and the VS807B angle set is $291.90. After 13% taxes, that'll total $635.79.

The guy didn't have change for my three $20s, so, being the generous fellow I am, I let him keep the full $60. Even so, that represents 9.44% of retail and LG likes to pay 10 cents on the dollar for Snap-on.

Happy, happy, joy, joy.

Quite a nice buy there!

Bet the xtra $5 didn't hurt your feelings none, nice grab.

Not much. I'll persevere...

jeeeeeeeez. Good for you. That's just dang lucky.

Those are NICE

Some better shots:






I assumed both sets were sold as such as opposed to being "assembled" piecemeal. All the flare nut wrenches are from 1998, but the angle wrenches are from 4 different years.

VS12B 3/8" 1999
VS14B 7/16" 2002
VS16B 1/2" 1998
VS18B 9/16" 1999
VS20B 5/8" 1997
VS22B 11/16" 1999
VS24B 3/4" 1999


I realize this forum does not specialize in modern tools, but can packaged sets be comprised of wrenches from 4 different years over a 6-year period?!

I've decided to keep this set as they are 30°/60° while my existing set (Indestro Super as it turns out, not Duro-Chrome!) are 45°/90°.  th-smile

great buy, the early bird catches the worm.
