I’ve slowly been adding my toolbox Widgets to my box. Waiting on a top box to come in for more space. In the mean time i can honestly say these things are awesome and right now I need more space. At first I hated them, the loose magnets drove me insane. And that really deterred me from using them. But after sitting down and going through a methodical process to set things up, I think there amazing. I also think they are continually improving each product more and more which is pleasing. Here are some pics of what I have so far. More to come.

Definitely not up to the same standards. I have literally bent a snap on ratchet using a pipe, but the ratchet worked perfect. Gear wrench, if you exceed it’s limits the teeth with let go.

generally anvils shear before tooth failure, gearwrench very hit and miss as constant chnges inproduct design and manufacture plant so you can't really sum up all their ratchets in one opinion and can't really buy based on ipinion without knowing product matching design and manufacture plant ..

Generally-speaking, you'd rather have the teeth or anvil go on a (rebuildable) ratchet before you bend a handle. In the (unlikely) scenario I'm using one of my SO ratchets like that, that's definitely the failure I'd rather see anyway...

I love their screwdriver holders.

Just my at home set up. Nothing fancy or big but I’m pretty **** how I keep my things. And @M635_Guy agreed. The gear wrench ratchets I have are not rebuildible so I’d be screwed either way. At lease with snappy you can get a replacement relatively easy

Anyone else have any pictures of there widgets? I must also say this, I am a fire fighter and these people gave me 20% off for my first responder discount on top of free shipping and getting 1 free set if you order over a 100$ Price point.

I was looking at these the other day but they seem excessively expensive, even for US made. It would cost me hundreds to outfit my toolbox.
