Then still work since I filed them down, but U want the ball tips back.
Doesn't Snap-on have a lifetime return policy? How is a tool considered eligible?
Do I just flag down a rep the next time I see his van?

I am also hoping someone has experience in dealing with these people so I can get some insight as to their workings / boundaries. (ie... how do I 'work' their policy to get what I am looking for?)
Is there anything I should NOT tell them?

The fact that you filed them will prevent the exchange. The will rightly claim that there is no way for them to know you did not intentionally do that for a specific job starting with a perfectly good tool. Especially since the truck drivers actually own all the tools in the truck as their investment into snap-on products, they will fight like demons to protect that investment.
They could get stuck holding the returned tools and not get reimbursed by snap-on after the fact when they already made an exchange.
Theres no harm in trying though, they might take it back based on the driver. Worst case scenario they tell you to take a hike. Id go to a couple local auto shops and ask them when a snap-on truck usually drops by, then head over then. If you a flag a driver down, especially for an exchange attempt and not a purchase, the driver may not be in a favorable mood towards you.

I think your best bet would be attempting to exchange for the non-ball end type.
