They should try some greenish blues and other colors that work well with iridescent finishes. Maybe a vintage color like seafoam, but iridescent.

When I was younger, I preferred dark boring colors for everything. Then, I just didn’t care…

Now, I like brighter colors that stick out against whatever I am working on. Brighter color tools are less likely to be left behind. They don’t just blend in to their environment.

That highlighter safety yellow that has been so on trend for a few years… they should try to do that color in iridescent.

I like the purple, but Cornwell blue in that iridescent would be killer and leave the Vessel name but add the Cornwell logo. And knurl the shafts. :thumbup:

Matches my old Dodge!!

Cornwell trucks are rare as hen's teeth around here. Mac--easy peasy. Snap-On, about the same. Matco seems pretty popular with dealers. Cornwell trucks--seen one--once.

Been looking for one to get these, which I presume are a copy of Knipex 125mm Cobras (at $23.95 and tool truck markup, I'm sure they're not).

Cornwell lists individual part numbers on the link I provided in the OP. Makes me curious if they can sell/warranty individual screwdrivers. I'd love to get a PH2 to try out.
Also I find it interesting that the slotted are listed in fractional sizes instead of metric. I seem to recall most Vessel screwdrivers are metric. If its not just equivalents, these might fit imperial screws better.

I had not seen these until now.
Those may actually be Knipex with less finishing and vinyl grips. They look very close.
I have the KXC0050 which is the 5" Cobra they sell with Cornwell branding. It runs $55, so these are half price.
Nice find. I'd like to know more about them.
Edit to add: My catalog from a few years ago lists a 3 pc set of these cheaper pliers in 7, 10, 12 but not in 5”.
