Cornwell hex bits / ratcheting screwdrivers

[lotus_esprit]

Our Cornwell supplier is having a close out sale on various items - this extra long torx bit set is now $49, whereas the Cornwell website is showing the retail price at $256.95. https://webcat.cornwelltools.com/CB...3-8-Drive-Long-Star-Bit-Socket-Set-p371690993

I have always only bought Snap On and have never seen any Cornwell tools in the flesh - I don’t ever believe website retail prices and I am assuming they are Taiwanese rebrands and would not expect them to be as good as Snap On but surely they are going to be worth a try at $49? The 123pc ratcheting screwdriver sets are being sold off for $49 too

I, definitely, would buy the long Torx bit socket set. I would, maybe, buy the ratcheting screwdriver set.

Bring some money and see what else he has on sale.

I would probably try the bit set, but I've had absolutely no luck getting ahold of a couple of Cornwell dealers. Closest one we have is 70 Mi away, offered to meet them whenever or wherever with cash to buy some stuff. I can't even get a response from them. Call Cornwell corporate and all they said was email them like I already had. That's okay, Snap On dealer comes to my one-man shop or will meet me if I'm not around ,will drop stuff off if needed and I am not here or at neighbor's, and I've even picked up a few things at his house. If Cornwell has no dealer in the area I sure would like to see them start internet sales like Matco does.

If this is the CBSD123S I would be all over that.
That screwdriver ratcheting mechanism is used in other brands I have and it works great. I love the way this Cornwell version is knurled in two spots. Wish mine were like that. This set also includes a bit ratchet. The bit selection is quite a wide range including ball hex.

Yes, it is that set, bought one for equivalent of $43 for use at home
Also bought the neon green 10pc precision plier set for $33, extra long 3pc hose pliers set, again $33, and various other torx / hex bit sets which I though might be handy
