^^^^^Yes, back in the daya very valid and convincing demonstration.
Unfortunately for Snap-on, many new pretenders, as well as the progressives among the old guard, have upped their game..."flankdrive,in it's many guises, is now mainstream...30-odd years ago, I figured a single-hex spanner or socket would not only drive a worn, burred fastener, but would release a tight,good one with less damage than a bi-hex gripping only the extreme corners.
In the late 1950's a friend was an army tank-driver he claimed "Brittool" described their tools perfectly and had broken many...in a Civilian environment,they were among the best.
Price is not the only criterion and, unfortunately,neither is a reputable brand-name.-See my previous, re-Bahco,A once-proud, top-line Swedish manufacturer.
Good tools are expensive. Down-time, injuries,damaged fasteners and collateral damage caused by poor tool performance, cost far more.
Mercedes Benz succumbed tothe bean-counter's greed They looked great but reliability and durability suffered enormously. The company is slowly clawing it's reputation back, but they would have made far more profit,overall, by not skimping in the first place.
