Nobody seems to like that Klein. I love mine and use it regularly. I gave them to 3 friends as gifts they also use them regularly. My buddy lost a arm years ago and likes the finger hole in the klein as he works one handed

I have one identical to the Chapman in a set with a hand driver and multiple proprietary bits, but it’s marked “Xcelite” who I know made small screwdriver sets with a universal handle. I bought it at least 40 years ago. The bits are extremely hard and well made. I really like that Craftsman which I’ve never seen before, and I thought I had all their tools. I do have a set of three very similar drivers, one with that offset, one a reverse offset angling in (less useful), and a straight one. They’re all reversible with a toggle on the sides, not top like yours, and all have thumb wheels, but they have coated handles and none have the 1/4” 12 pt driver end. I bought them maybe 20 years ago. That Prestacycle 92205 looks very similar to one Harbor Freight sells in a set, which I don’t have yet but am considering. I like that Gearwrench a lot, and appreciate you giving the part numbers. Unfortunately one year after this video it looks like it’s out of stock everywhere, or is marked “discontinued,” but I’ll keep looking. Thanks for the great overview! 👍

This is NOT an accurate test. You have completely ignored the original manufacturer VISE GRIP made in the US forever. I have many of these, a couple are well over 60 yrs old. I have NEVER had a failure of ANY of them and I am 74yrs old. You missed the mark completely sunshine. As with most tools you should NOT let price make your choice. If you buy right they will last you a lifetime. There will be people fighting over my Vise Grips when I am long gone and they will continue to serve for many years.
@daydreaminfaze3327 күн бұрын
Vice grips aren't made in the US anymore. Production was sent to China. I have some of the originals, and your statement is true for those. I have a couple of the China made vice grips, and they are garbage.

@@Bogie3855 Vise Grips simply aren't the best for my line of work. They are great locking pliers, but if you watch the end of the video you will see what I chose, and why. Remember that I am looking at the reviews I make through the lens of my career of choice, and ultimately that determines my opinions on utility, performance, and value. I appreciate your input though, and I think healthy discourse like this is what makes America Great!

I have a bunch of these but the gearwrench w the 1/4 and 5/16 on the same wrench is the best one I have found for everyday use as a service tech. I have carried it or the husky version for a decade and it gets me out of almost every situation I need a right angle bit. I think it has the lowest clearance and basically the clearance of the bit

Prestacycle is a lot like the Icon and I think there’s another Craftsman and/or Facom that matches up. Oh and Tone has an offering or two as well, very much like the Wera. Oh and Teng tools has an offering too. Klein is intended for HVAC work.

The best one is by fair the wera because of the teeth inside the ratchet. These bit ratchets are for when you have zero space and having a ratchet with finer teeth helps immensely.

I’m here to defend the Sabercut. It’s my room of choice on my 3D printer. The face that it lets go of the bit when I’m working with very small hardware is good. I’ll start an M2 with it in “screwdriver mode”, hold the bit, pull the wrench free and put it in “ratchet mode” to finish it. For very small hardware I prefer it over Allen keys.
