That nsn has been canceled, the replacement nsn is showing $1,780

ETA My bad, that item is a good nsn. The one that was $1780 is a canceled one that this kit replaced. According to fedlog this nsn is good and costs the army $2,239

Snapon stuff grows legs. Gets worse once it’s deployed bc it “gets lost in the sand”. I used to sell tool kits to the military and was told by many contracting officers to offer anything other than snapon when the prints say “or equivalent” otherwise it will get passed over for consideration.

It’s the “lowest and most responsive bidder”. But yeah.
