Halfway decent HSS bits and knowing how to use them makes drilling way better than tolerable.

I will counter… Anything uses metric hardware, especially when that hardware is going to find its way onto something that’s originally fractional. I hate all metric…but I especially loathe mixed methods of measurement on one unit. Example, a bracket or mount that’s going onto a mid 70s Jeep...

I sell every 45170 I lay my hands on. A nice one will bring $30 all day, a rough but functional version will still fetch $15. I don’t care for them…but I’ll be damned if they don’t sell like hotcakes.

I still use flat blade drivers quite a bit. Carb adjustments, firearms, old toys, tools and machinery, etc.

The speed is variable…and I’ve yet to burn one up.

There are a lot of times that I need to tighten a pair of vise-grips tighter than I can squeeze them. This is especially true while welding. Another scenario where this comes in handy is in scenarios where you need to ensure there is minimal movement between the pieces being clamped. The...

I have a set of Greenlee knockout punches that use square drive heads, 8pt works great for those.

What would make you pick these over a Snap On, or even a nearly identical Matco? Either are available in green…

I just use my regular old cordless drill….

While I consider VIM to be, at best, a novelty brand, comparing a US made AJ sourced ratchet to the offshore ICON is hardly relevant. Of course it’s more expensive than the Asian made ratchet. Luckily, I’ve zero need nor desire to buy either.

I’d absolutely agree with this. I can’t really think of a single time I’ve used a ball end hex key and wished it was straight, but I can remember countless times the reverse was true.

I’d much rather know how good a companies initial product is than in how they handle their issues.a good warrant is absolutely amazing…but how little you need it is even better

I have. I liked the hard handle drivers and picks.

A bunch of service wrenches, and a pile of relabeled stuff available elsewhere. They make very little. They relabel some decent stuff, but almost all of it can be gotten elsewhere.

That ship has sailed. All that “Made in the USA” hoo-rah for naught….only to be replaced with just another relabel. I’ll never understand the love for this company.

Another tap water guy here…

I didn’t disagree with you…that’s the reason most folks sell anything. My point was that used Snap On tools aren’t that incredibly hard to find

Nearly every Snap On tool in my box was bought used, most at pawn shops, the rest on Marketplace. I do just enough business on th truck to stay familiar and in good graces….or I did til my go-to guy gave up his route.

Sadly, I’ve made the same mistake decision. I like the wrench’s I have, but I won’t buy any more.

I’ll look down on no man for exercising the warranty advertised when the item was purchased.
