    Stubby Reversible Ratcheting 12 point Wrenches

    HF blantantly copying Snap on look

    IMO many are going to buy Pittsburgh screwdrivers but very few, if any are going to because they look like Snap-On screwdrivers. They're going to buy Pittsburgh because the screwdrivers are $10 for 20 and Snap-On are $140 for 10. If you look, Proto screwdrivers almost have the same shape as...

    Safety Wire Pliers....
