I just got in some Genius tools, just a wide variety of items to test out and compare. Everything looks to be good quality. I took some pics of everything for everyone to see. There are not too many good pics on the web to see them up close. Enjoy!

I have the same 3/8 impact set and 3/8 universal impact set. Haven't used them much but I also have not had any problems yet! Nice haul of tools!

some? looks like the better part of an apprentice set. those look like very good quality ratchets. i have a titan compact roto head in that design. it looks like a nearly identical copy of an sk tuff1 or a facom ratchet. i also like the impact swivels. they look nice. where do you source that stuff from?

The sockets are pretty much bulletproof. I have 26 sets of the TF332M in my route over the last 2 years and not a single warranty. 31 sets of the 1/4 drive chrome and not a single socket warranty either. The ratchets require rebuilds under hard use but at the price you are paying it is not a bad deal. If anyone needs a good torx set, the Genius BS-23441 is an awesome value as well.

Genius Tools I can sell on here. I have some of the more popular sets in stock. Send me a PM if anyone is interested.

Yeah, I was thinking they've been around awhile if they still have "Taiwan" stamped on there. Personally, I think they look better without the "Taiwan" stamped on there. :D

Genius Tools are great and I posted some pic too couple of weeks ago. All made in Taiwan from one manufactor, all made in a high quality and extreme cheaper as snap-on.

In fact, my snap-on swivel impact sockets are more worn as my genius stuff.

I decided to quit with snap-on, since they disappointed me in various ways. I also sell my most snap-on stuff and re-buy my tools from other manufactors.

My brother has that 1/4 set and the only thing I do not like is the ratchet, I will buy me the 1/4 and 3/8 set here soon.

I like how the handle for the ratchet is the breaker bar. All they did was replace the breaker bar drive with a ratcheting head. That is one way to keep tooling costs down. :bounce:

So are these geniuses rebranded as Snap-on ?
