Common Man's Tool Kit - part 2 

I thought these were USA made. The description on the Amazon link says China....must be a typo

ask your snap on rep about this but the handle has either a smaller or bigger knotch that is related to the position of the screw driver blade for blind operation of the screw driver on second though that may be theyre soft grip handles only

Hard to believe you didn't include torks. At least T10, 15, 20, 25, 27 and 30

Do you have a link to the magnetic holder?

I have some old Sears and Robuck 1950's metal pegboard I got from my father. The problem is finding the hooks. Those magnetic holders look like just what the doctor ordered. Can you share a link so I can order them through you?

Best father in law ever? Haha

Also do you have an affiliate link for the screwdriver holder?

Me too, Matt, getting hard to find,

If only Craftsman was still American made.

@@Jmwtime Right!

There is still many quality cheaper then snap-on usa options. Like williams, proto, wright, & sk tools. Armstrong was another great option that is no longer in business but there is tons of it out there on the used market.

@@shawnwest3779 I have an SK socket set I bought 46 years ago that is still working great.

I’m in the UK the best tools Iv used are made in germany personally, knipex and Wera, nothing beats them

im from austria (next to germany) and id say for pliers i only buy knipex ,nws, gedore and sometimes wiha , i have a pair of channellock waterpump pliers and they have good teeth but they compete with my pair of stahlwille ( probably 45+ years old) from grandpa but cant with my modern cobras ( better in every way and here they are almost the same price) for screwdrivers i use wera wiha ifixit vessel and felo , same with bits nowadays i pretty much only buy quality tooly (lage part made in germany ) but i dont have a problem with chima-made tools ( toolboxes etc) and there are a lot of speciality brands like pferd for files and grinding discs or baer for drillbits good budget option for wrenches or ratchets would be proxxon also forgot to mention pb swiss , or weller and so many more

This Williams branch of snap-on just proves how much of a ripoff artist snap one is even they admit their tools are way overpriced and you're just paying for the name when they sell the exact same screwdriver under a different name for a fourth the price

@@danielwiley5796 i mean yeah thats most things

I was depressed seeing it for 78🙃

1/18 it’s $86 now

Thank you

@@wranglerstar no matter of the stamping / watermark bulk of the tooks come out of the same factories if china whether you live by: stanley snap-on Kinchrome Sinchrome And every other brand

Klein is the go to tools for electrical work . There lineman’s are great pliers.

@@MidwestFarmToys sure they make great stuff, quality….

@@titaniummaster1532 That’s what I’ve heard. I think the screwdrivers would work fine for an automotive set like he’s building. I’ve never tried Williams but I’m very impressed with my Klein screwdrivers.

@@titaniummaster1532 I've been on the market for a decent set of 8 inch linesman, blue point came in around 36 bucks, have you ever heard good things from em? Are the Klein worth the extra? Hears knipex is good but it'll cost ya 2x what they should around here.

I have been very happy with the hard handle screwdrivers, very nicely made. I am not sure if they will be available for too much longer though. The handles were made by one company and I'm almost positive the shanks were made by Pratt-Read. Ideal industries recently kind of shut down P-R, I don't know all the details but I'm told theyre basically keeping production exclusive to Ideal screwdrivers. I don't know if they're going to end all contract production, or keep ongoing contracts and just stop accepting new contracts.

@@shawnwest3779 They made the hard handled Craftsman professional drivers, the precision drivers, and some of the standard Acetate handles. The recent acetate handle Channellock drivers are P-R, so are the very nice WRIGHT tool drivers, and the Greenlee drivers that look like KLEIN copies. if IDEAL really does tie P-R down to only their screwdrivers that's gonna really be a major blow

Those Tekton screwdrivers are made by Wilde tool in Kansas. Wilde makes tools that are rebranded by other companies such as the Hypertough prybars they sell at Walmart. They used to make a lot of tools for Sears. They're good, solid, affordable American made tools.

@@mugga5590 Yes those WILDE handle prybars are great, when I saw the HT's at Walmart I recognized them as Wilde and bought every size. They make 'em for HT, even for Lang who does tons of contract production themselves. There have even been truck brands sourcing them. These screwdrivers have two sources according to Tekton, one for the shanks and another for the handles. The shanks are a dead ringer for P-R, and based on the handle composition I'm fairly confident that WILDE is the source but have no confirmation of this. WILDE doesn't make screwdrivers, they've had acetate handled drivers made by P-R, and the wood handled drivers made by GRACE.

Thank you TK,

With pleasure.

Go to your local Animal Humane and adopt one, there are plenty of cats that need a forever home

God Bless you and yours ❤

Yes on the prybar, Colonel, These screwdrivers are really nice and a great price,

@@wranglerstar I just bought a set of snap-on pry bars here in Scotland, and wow- they're beautiful! A European tool kit would be good for the next series. Knipex pliers etc.

Well a lot of products are made in the same factory and the only difference is the brand name on it. I seen it in clothes, tools,etc.

Williams is owned by Snap On

Maybe do a Rockwell hardness test?

My pleasure,

How does it compare with Wera? I have a set also and also some Halfords Advanced, I'll be honest, hand feel is better on wera but other than that I don't feel that much difference on use...

@@JLneonhug I’ll let you know when they arrive. The Wera are great and as you say are very comfortable. My only issue with them is when I need to apply real pressure to something they feel a bit lightweight. I think it’s the thickness of them. It’s good to hear somebody bringing up the Halfords Advanced stuff. For a comparison on ratchets, sockets and spanners (wrenches) its unparrelled. A 100 tooth ratchet, with lifetime guarantee made in the same factory as other quality brands (gear wrench, blue point…) for £30 ($40). Sure the fizz factor might not be quite at snap on level, but I think it’s up there.

You got that right! I look forward to her cameos, as well. She's a sweet cat, and I appreciate that Mr. Wranglerstar takes the time to show her some love.

My pleasure!
