    I tried to order one online from the Philippines once. It never showed up but someone stole my credit card # and maxed out my account.

    I bought a Norwegian one, ended up returning it after 3 years, found out it couldn't do everything it advertised it could.

    Do the ones from Sweden come with a little allen wrench? If not, I smell a business opportunity. I'll call it Wifekea.

    I'll have to ask the local Snap-On distributor if they stock the wife wrench. It'd fit in the back of my service truck quite nicely.

    So, what happens when you forget to grease the wrench and it seizes up ? Do you get to trade it in for a newer model ?

    This model has never let me down so I would never think of trading it in.. remember newer tools do not equal better tools and most newer tools are not as versatile and do not have the quality of craftsmanship. be advised in most areas these types of tools have the ability to carry up to and more then 50% off all goods since purchase. just a reminder if you are looking for a new one or trying to borrow someone elses

    New tools have that new tool smell and are not as worn around the edges. They can be alot of fun to play with but as with any new thing it cost you $$ to keep it maintained.

    Borrowing another mans tool is just wrong. You never quite know where that tool has been.
