The Snap-On brand is the most attractive and durable tool money can buy. Period.
Williams is just as durable as Snap-On, and it is the most durable brand tool for the money that can be bought. Williams is a fraction of the price of Snap-On. There are design similarities and differences...
We agree 1000%. If manufacturers produced perfect tools 100% of the time they would not need a warranty. Form, function, and appearance quality is consistency which is always a percentage.
Williams will warranty any tool that is not consistent with their normal production quality Cosmetics...
It is grounds for termination with S/O Inc. We accept Canadian source payments, but we must ship to a US end point. So a USA forwarder to Canada would be ok.
Snap-On and the USA made Williams are ounce for ounce identical in steel strength and come out of the same plant off the same machines using the same raw material grades.
The differences are, and the only differences are the level of finish, handle styles, and stampings.
Snap-On tools are...

The warranty is with the manufacturer always. It does not matter if you found the tool on a curb. Local store / trucks are the 1st warranty line and if they are not available the manufacturer will handle it directly.
You can contact the manufacturer and they will decide. If it is an really old...
I am biased: Williams USA Industrial - Made in the Snap-On factory. If Snap-On is the F-150 King Ranch leather loaded tool, Williams USA is the white company truck with vinyl of the Snap-On line. It gets the work done. Choose a 36 tooth or 72 tooth round head.
Not at all. You'll love them!
Again as I stated above in an earlier post, all that we have received in our own stock have since early last year have been perfect.
The best customer service is when it is not needed so for our inventory we even went through all our existing stock at that time...
Williams USA Made handle part # prefix codes:
SDP = Phillips
SDR = Slotted round shank (slotted end is wider than the shank)
SDS = Slotted square shank (slotted end is wider than the shank)
SDE = Electricians (slotted end is the same width as shank diameter)
Many of the larger sizes of metric and standard wrenches are within a few hundredths of an inch of being the same size. With good wrenches grabbing on the flats of fasteners a lot of "corners could be cut" if you already have a complete standard set. Get a conversion chart out and take a look maybe.
Most users know these only by the sets they come in. Williams also makes really long electrician screwdrivers with these handles but they do not come in sets so many people don't even know about those.
