Thought I saw a snappy screwdriver  on the road, turned around to get it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,turned out to be a chicrap clone :-[

I have also turned around to pick up my own tools I left on top of the service body.  Got real lucky last time and only lost a 7/16 socket.

I sense a new sticky thread.

Things I have found on the side of the road.

Were they labeled Snap-On? Probably could have sold them on ebay as vintage or something!  :))

so do you mail in the payments or does the snap on guy automatically come to your house for payments now?

Here are some roadside finds from cycling. Its just really over the past few years. I'm far more picky these days about only picking up pairs. Pairs are on the left side, singles on the right.

I have a gaggle of buffing wheels, where I see them protecting large sheets of granite for counter tops and they probably fly off from the tie down straps. Add to that a collection of wrenches, sockets, coins (only at stoplights), wallets, cell phones, credit cards...but I digress.  ;)

I have hauled off a 2x6x8' that was new and that made it home about 5 miles. I've seen a lot of stuff in the road over the years.
