Tool Brand Tier List

[@HAHA.GoodMeme]

holy shit a tier list for tools from someone that actually knows what they are talking about. Priceless content

[@russellpottenger8584]

My argument to put Snap on in an A tier level would be considering the resale value. Most of my Snap on purchases have been on the secondary market, such as eBay, marketplace, pawnshops and estate sales. Once a snap on tool is re-sold it’s typically about 50% of its retail value but at that point it’s pretty much stuck there. It will never drop below that. My .02

[@NotMe-rt4hk]

Exactly. Only a crackhead would buy used Icon tools. Ain't no way Icon's Taiwan crap is more valuable than Snap On.

[@as3sxp]

I think Proto is underrated. Not sure about warranty, but in the 5+ years I spent using their wrenches cranking on hydraulics, ag & construction equipment, never had an issue

[@brian_bielanski]

So... my theory on tool buying... I started out 30 years ago as a Craftsman guy and I still have some USA stuff that works to this day. Today... I buy and suggest this to others... Knipex pliers, gearwrench ratchets and ratchet wrenches, vessel screwdrivers, astro pneumatic impacts, and Icon for everything else. If/when I break something I then decide whether to warranty it or go out and buy Snap-On. The one thing about Icon --- I race cars and just there is comfort in knowing that I can get to a Harbor Freight near enough to just about any race track in the US on a Saturday or Sunday to warranty an Icon tool if need be. That said... Not having Snap-on in the A tier -- even with the value is a bit nutty to me.

[@VWERIC10]

Been wrenching for over 40 years, have bought and used most brands. I agree with most of your S tier, but Snap-on, on quality alone, should be a least A tier. There is no way Snap-on and Capri belong on the same tier. I don't know about anyone else, but for my go to combination and ratchet wrenches, I certainly don't reach for Capri. Maybe for weekend warriors, but not pros.

[@sethallison5682]

I agree, I don’t buy a lot of snap on stuff because it’s overpriced- but it IS often the best stuff around. Some tools like flare nut wrenches they’re the only ones you should buy, leagues above the other brands.

[@russellpottenger8584]

We clearly need to separate quality of tool and service from the price of the tool. Next time, if and when I was sitting in my dentist chair, going through root canal, I’d expect he was utilizing Snap on quality equipment versus harbor freight. A good automotive technician is paid a good salary. He should be willing to invest in his livelihood. My .02

Mac prices have come up a lot lately and more and more of their stuff is not made in the US anymore. While Snap-on is expensive the vast majority of their stuff is made in the US, and for me that puts them in a tier above Mac.

Matco probably has a worse dealer network than Cornwell. There is probably one matco dealer within 500 miles of me. I also think matco offers an awful value. Their tools are probably the most overpriced when you look at how much they upcharge their rebrands it's sickening.

[@victorhoyt4352]

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but sunex impact sockets are now being made in china. I bought a socket set from them a few weeks ago, and they are now being manufactured in China. The laser etched markings are much much bigger now, the stamped markings are now much much bigger, and the drive end is now chamfered too, which are improvements, but again, they are now being manufactured in China. When I received the set, i thought maybe it was a knock-off, and I immediately reached out to their customer service. They promptly replied, saying that the majority of their impact sockets manufacturing had been moved to China. So, not only are they being manufactured in China now, but im assuming that when you break a socket, your warrantied socket will also be Chinese made. I started a forum about it on garage journal and added photos of the new set, the sockets, and the email correspondence between sunex and myself. Its honestly crazy that they switched after all these years, but hey, look at SK.

[@SaerTurner-wn2qh]

Not related to this video. But as someone who’s entering into a dealership setting for the first time, would you recommend having a laptop computer on hand while working? Alongside a scan tool? The shop I worked for previously had a centralized computer station for us to use when necessary but my new shop does not. Thanks for any feedback

[@1234563221]

GP impact sockets are good. But after a year in the service truck you can’t read their laser size etching. As for ratchets I switched from snap on dual 80s to macs. They just break way less. The non locking flex 1/2”dr broke on me once. But I had an 1 1/2” socket on it and pushed on the end with a skid steer. Broke the gear but flex joint and handle took it no problem.

Interesting rankings. I like it for the most part. Sunex in S tier is strange because S tier should be the absolute best and you even said their quality is not S tier. I get that value is important but man, that seems awfully generous. Seems like they should be A tier MAX based on what you said. I would have liked to see more tool brands included. Brands that many people will recognize like Husky, Kobalt, Duralast, Carlyle, etc. But also some more of the Harbor Freight brands like Quinn, Pittsburgh. I think that might have been interesting for us Home DIYers and people just getting started and have a tight budget.

I’m interested in tool quality only. Not warranty & service. Warranties are promises for something that might happen in the future. Difficult to calculate. And it’s expensive! Driving up cost to me so some other guy can abuse his tools. Icon’s warranty is already falling apart. Where everything sold as a set is replaced as a set. So if you loose the 10mm you loose warranty on the whole set. And in every stress test I’ve ever seen Icon suffers more damage. 3rd rate tools with a high polish. Some companies are just brands. With variable quality standards. Tekton Icon, Gearwrench etc. who makes the best tools? With consistent quality over time. SnapOn, Mac, Koken, Knipex, Mayhew, Wiha, Vessel, Cornwell, Matco and others make superior tools. Sunex, Capri, Tekton etc. are great brands. But they don’t have proprietary manufacturing processes unavailable other places.

Additionally whenever I have seen tool shoot-out videos Craftsman almost always ranks at the top of the list. They are still high-quality tools for a good price. Another tool brand that ranks at the top of the shoot-outs is Gear Wrench which I would rank as a S tier tool brand because of its value and quality. Tekton tools look nice and I have some but I don't think the durability is there with them and in no way would they outlast some of the tools below them.

[@gieauto7175]

Putting Sanp On below the level Harbor Freight (Icon) might indicate you're incorrectly using that crack pipe. While I've since reduced the hours working on vehicles. One of the things I put a premium on was the tool making it to the finish. Great warranties are nice but if you need to have multiple of the same tool just to complete a job it's a big minus. Taking time to warranty, slowing your work, damaging that hard to get fastener, or worse making a blood donation because a tool failed is a major distraction. When I start leaning on a tool I'm counting on it to complete the job and doing it safely. While I agree Snap On is stupid expensive there are also other levels of stupidity to include, as you bandage your wound. That doesn't mean your entire tool kit should be Snap On it should be a well thought out mix. A magnetic tray is a magnetic tray no matter who's name is on it. I would also say the same with DVOM's. If your 40 dollar meter works as well as the 1000 dollar one that's money well spent. And we've all seen your opinion on scanners where you get no argument from me on that topic either.

Icon should be in b tier with tekton and capri. Icon stuff is overpriced for what it is. A lot of there "good" tools can be bought made under another label from someone else for cheaper. Since SK is now owned by great star, their Chinese made tools are very meh, and over priced I think that should ding them and get them downgraded. Astro, sunex, and VIM should all be downgraded to A tier. Sunex makes some really mediocre stuff outside of their impact sockets. Astro also makes some products that are very mediocre. Vim is just overpriced for what it is. Koken should be added to the list and put in S tier. Right up there with Knipex for quality and value.
