[Titanium Steel]

One note I should about the company iSesamo, the market is flooded and I truly mean flooded with knock offs and generic versions of the product. On the manufacturer's website, they will sell a generic version to a business, but won't distribute the authentic iSesamo product any where else (at least as this year) anywhere else but their own website.

That is the only way to buy a 100% authentic, 100% designed, assembled and made in Italy iSesamo product. Worth the price though and buying from the manufacturer though directly as there is maximum quality control and a great product.

 

[Alamedasam]

95% Snap On, thebalance is a mix of craftsman, matco, mac, & a few specialty tools. All my boxes at work are Snap On, I have a Snap On at home, with some smaller craftsman & oddball small boxes for strange stuff.

 

[jeffmoss26]

wtf is an iSesamo?

 

[greasemonkey44]

wtf is an iSesamo?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00792JJK4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 a really skinny pry bar

most of my sockets are grey pneumatic, swivels and all the normal stuff
any specialty stuff is usually SO, balljoint press, etorx, gold allens, also my pry bars and elec impacts and some pliers, and my box
my pullers are matcos, as are my ratcheting wrenches, sae wrenches, hose clamp pliers
the rest is whatever is available when i need it; HF tools, big northern wrenches, some craftsman, wright, sk, husky pro

 

[Titanium Steel]

wtf is an iSesamo?

iSesamo is the brand of the product. The product in question is a spudger.

Here is the manufacturer's website. http://www.dottorpod.com/

The one listed by the other member is the generic version and isn't the authentic version though. Here is actual images of what a authentic iSesamo brand spudger looks like.

This tool is used to take apart Ipad's, Amazon kindle's, Ipod's, to list a few.

[Gabastone]

Great question:

Matco ~ 45%
Snap On ~ 40%
Craftsman ~ 10%
MAC/Armstrong/Wright/SK ~ 5%

 

[jeffmoss26]

To me, this is a spudger...
http://toolmonger.com/2007/01/26/find-the-spudger/

 

[Titanium Steel]

Jeffmoss: That is a spudger, but it's a plastic version. Jonard lists that as a probe *****, which the brand I have. With the exception of that mine are insulated, made in Taiwan and from a real company named Jonard.

Here is link to where you can buy them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006C43RGC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

http://www.amazonsupply.com/jonard-...p/B007TX8TU4/ref=sr_1_2?sr=1-2&qid=1336580217

Amazon and Amazon Supply used to sell singular packs of these spudgers for $1.50, but that is no longer the case.

Here is the Grainger link to show you that this item is made in Taiwan and other specifications as well. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/ww...tt=JIC-22035&N=0&GlobalSearch=true&sst=subset

Here is the manufacturer's website on this item. http://www.jonard.com/jonard-ecommerce/control/product/~category_id=PROBE_PICKS/~product_id=10047

Here is all the spudgers or probe pricks Jonard currently produces. http://www.jonard.com/jonard-ecomme...category_id=PROBE_PICKS/~pcategory=CATV_TOOLS

Here is what the Jonard JIC-22035 actually looks like.

What is included with the spudger.

The difference between a iSesamo spudger and a Jonard insulated spudger.

However is a difference between the spudger I bought on www.Amazon.com and www.AmazonSupply.com They are the same spudger, but the size is a bit different.

This picture is the Spudger from Amazon Supply. The the first image was from Amazon.

The same spudger from Amazon Supply.

More information on the same spudger from Amazon Supply.

On the left is the original spudger I bought from Amazon, but on the right is the spudger I bough on Amazon Supply. There is a difference in the tip size you'll see.

Here is a better image of the tips. The left is the original and the right is from Amazon Supply.

Here is the case for both spudgers. It's pretty easy to see that the left side has the bigger case, but the right is smaller. The smallest is from Amazon Supply and the larger one is from Amazon.

Another picture of the spudgers in the case. Left is Amazon and and right is Amazon Supply.

Probably the most notable difference with the Amazon Supply spudger is the red cap has writing inside the cap. The original Amazon red cap, has writing on the top, but no writing in the inside.

Although the plastic spudgers likely aren't going to last an entire lifetime, the best plastic insulated spudger on the market is the Jonard brand.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I think you have a lot of free time lol
I have Jonard, Fluke, and some old Western Electric spudgers with the metal tips.
Probe pick, spudger, whatever you want to call it, as long as it works.
Sorry for derailing this thread.

 

[Titanium Steel]

Jeff: Actually I wasn't the one who took the pictures, a friend of mine did and let me use them. I merely am posting them, but I can't really say I have a great deal of free time so to speak. Anyway, it's cool.

I didn't know Fluke or even Western Electric even made spudgers, let alone with metal tips.

I call it a spudger, but it's also called non-marring nylon stick tool or for some reason black stick as well in addition to probe pick.

If I derailed this thread as well, I am sorry as well. Don't really get the chance to talk about spudgers that often, due to fact they aren't easy come across by. I just wanted to help and inform, so if I caused any trouble, I did not intend for that to happen.

 

[RedAggie03]

I'll give you one guess what's in my box.

[tribbles]

Most of my tools are Craftsman, going back to the first wrenches, screwdrivers , and socket set my dad gave me for Christmas in 1978 when I was just eight.

The rest are:
Pittsburgh (mostly wrenches, impact sockets, and extensions from my brother for Christmas a few years back)
Stanley
Great Neck

I also have one screwdriver each from Irwin, Powr-Kraft, and S-K (the S-K one I found lying in the road one rainy night).

Add Snap-on and Bonney to the list. Just paid $10 for two SO screwdrivers, a 2' long SO 1/4" driver, and a Bonney stubby screwdriver at the pawn shop over lunch.
