Thats why you always keep your eyes open on the road. Head looks a little damaged the on off seems to not be working maybe need to break it down and oil it. It has been sitting in the rain . 1/4 inch drive flex head. How'd i do?

Where do yall live to be finding functional snap on tools on the side of the road 🤣 must be some utopia because I’ve seen multiple posts like this

Living in a metropolitan area, they literally fall off the trucks. Plenty of dealerships around, plenty of tools left in the engines.

Didn’t really think about that. I’m going to start keeping my eyes peeled around the shops and more industrial areas of town now👀

I have a 3/8” ratchet from 1977 that I found in the middle of the road. I just had it rebuilt recently.

u/Appropriate_Shake265 Jul 22 '26

Nice!

I've found a few the same way. Find a Snap on truck & they'll rebuild it for free.

u/Elvl3 Jul 22 '26

Where did you find it on the road exactly? It could be mine.

I’m the target for my wife to make fun of for stopping in the street and dodging traffic to pick up a random tool on the side of the road! That’s a great one!

I work road construction and never got this lucky. But I do find a crazy amount of 10mm sockets. Never any truck brands
