Williams (Not Snap-On) Screw Drivers

Today we look at a way to get Snap-On quality without paying Snap-On prices. I’ve had these in my tool bag a couple weeks now and they’re pressure to use.

10:50 I think they’re called cabinet screwdrivers because they fit down in the holes where cabinet screws are recessed, so you can fully drive in the screw without the screwdriver flair catching the side of the hole.

[@jameskoskinen6763]

I've been a heavy equipment mechanic for 23 years now and I never knew those were called "cabinet screwdrivers". I've also been referring to them as carburetor scredrivers due to the fact that they're the only thing that'll take a pilot & main jets out of a kehin carburetor. You learn something new every day

The tekton mini pry bars are super nice. They're a step between the pocket pry bar and a proper 8" pry bar. Feel really well made, similar handles as their screwdrivers.

[@TylerSnyder305]

I just don't like pry bars to have round shanks because it's just not proper. I love the Tekton picks and screwdrivers though. I also love the little Mayhew picks which happen to match these pry bars, I love the handles. There's pros and cons to both so it's a toss up, but they're inexpensive though so I say get them all.

[@toolthoughts]

I'm not a big fan of soft handles either. Eventually they'll get sticky, rot, and just fall apart. With a splash of the wrong kind of solvent or lubricant, that can happen really fast. I'd rather have wood even. I'll make an exception with pliers, because you'll rarely get a big comfortable handle otherwise, and you want all the squeeze you can get. Otherwise, gloves with a thicker foam type coating is great for comfort, both with gripping and with vibrations. Those are disposable items anyway, so wear isn't an issue.

[@BigBear--]

Grab yourself a set of the Felo Wood Handle screwdrivers. Won't be disappointed.

[@swanaldmcdnld]

Life time warranty at harbor freight, craftsman, husky or snap-on means none of them are disposable, or if they are it's not your problem it's the company's that sold it to ya

[@10868940ih]

Found out a few years ago that the parts store brake cleans will melt the hard plastic handles. Had my Snap-on screwdrivers many years without issue when we used Kimball Midwest brake clean until one sat in a puddle of some other brands of brake clean.

[@tenmil1]

The Amazon brake cleaner made my matco soft grip turn super hazy and white from safety orange. Looked at the msds and it’s just aerosol acetone propelled with propane. Don’t get acetone on your matco stuff either!

[@rosieotis]

I have the Williams set as well. Fun fact, some CAT branded hand tools are also made by Snap-On. Simply rebranded. Matter of fact, the pliers set says CAT, with yellow handles, but the “S” logo remains as the pivot. 🤘🏼

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Cabinet screwdrivers -- for the kind of woodworking (say, cabinets) where they like to drill deep holes at a shallow angle, and you need a narrow screwdriver to get down in that hole in the wood to be able to turn the screw.

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

I have a bunch of screwdrivers and one that I suggest that everyone tries is the Vessel JIS driver. I have 2 of them and haven't had any problems stripping Philips #2 screws sense I've started using them. They grab better then any #2 drivers IMO. I've got 2 that have the impact technology and help on real tight screws. (and yes I do know how to use tools) lol I suggest you pickup one and see for yourself how good they work. Later

I've always just been a fan of the hard, plastic, Craftsman screwdrivers. No clue on the ones they make now, but I bought a set some 25 years ago that have been beat on, spilled on, and everything else and are still just fine. Have some that were my dad's as a kid, so a good 45 years old, that are still just fine, if a bit discolored. They feel good in the hand and are not all bulky like a lot of screwdrivers these days. I do have a set of SK I use pretty often these days that I inherited, and those are also nice and they grip a little better on the fastener, but the old craftsman ones have never let me down.

[@jayp7171]

It's interesting that you put Klein in the middle class. When I got into the IBEW in the early 90's Klein was considered the best you could buy, with Ideal coming in a distant second. Klein also had a niche with electricians, linesmen, and iron workers. Once the Big Box stores started carrying their tools the quality has been declining, and with everyone and their grandmother making hand tools with lifetime warranties, guys are opting for the cheaper alternatives.

I use those things growing up from the early '90s right until he passed away in the early 2000s. When I got older I wanted to buy a set of screwdrivers I found the Williams cuz I refused to buy snap-on. Those hard handles are the best screwdrivers ever made a full stop

Totally agree with not liking the soft grips on screwdrivers and ratchets!!

[@WadeKentopp]

When I decided to sober up and do something with my life, I started adding some credibility to my toolbox every payday. Williams was a great brand to pick I thought as well. Not as pretentious as Snap-on, with all the functionality. People who know will know what they are, and I get to spend less for the same thing. The only reason I tried to keep those chintzy little sleeves they came in was because my dad always seemed to keep them. You're right, they're crap. This is the first long form video of yours I've watched and I really enjoyed it. Like wranglestar had climbed down from the clouds to revisit 2018 again. Perfect length and information with the video content, and excellent choice with the Williams. I have the same JH Williams adjustable too. Still works like it should. That's all I have to report...

I only needed a 1/4" and a #2 because I have multiple other complete screwdrivers sets, but I really love the handles and the quality is great.( they're also rebranded for CAT too ) As far as I know most of the William's stuff is actually just retired or semi retired Snapon designs, and not the other way around. The Superatchet and round heads are original Williams designs, but the pear head ratchets and these screwdrivers are all old Snapon designs.

Yep. Williams has been around since dirt. I have a few of them WWII era from my Dad, used to work on big radial piston aircraft engines. They made a bunch of Craftsman's stuff over the years too.

Just make sure to get the same brand so you can swap bits. Ace hardware sells one that is knocked off everywhere. It's probably made by someone else and my pov is if it looks the same, it probably is.

But the replacement aspect isn't in line with Milwaukee or craftsman or ANY lifetime warranty tool sold in a local brick and mortar store. Have you ever tried replacing Mac, snap-on, Matco etc if you don't have an account with a tool truck, or access to a brick and mortar dealer storefront? For that matter if you don't get service from a tool truck because your shop just isn't high volume enough to finance the tool guys lifestyle? It makes their warranties useless. Lowe's, hone Depot, harbor freight, local hardware and auto parts stores etc don't usually disappear. Honestly after 35 years of buying screwdriver sets I just buy the ones I need, 50% of what comes in sets are unnecessary. I'm a tool hoarder so I can't bring myself to purge all of the P1 screwdrivers I have accumulated, 1 will last me a lifetime. I also don't need any more stubby drivers, or offset drivers. I honestly don't even use the standard 6" drivers. I prefer my Greenlee P2 cabinet screwdriver, 3/16 flat cabinet screwdriver, P1 & P2 square drivers, 11 in 1 driver, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, & 3/8 nut drivers, all from Greenlee. That covers 90% of my hand driver needs doing professional home maintenance and repair, 90% of that is accomplished with the 11 in 1. Ok I'll admit I have quite the collection of top quality multi drivers from ideal, Greenlee, and Klein, I have one in most tool kits right along side of the ubiquitous 6" adjustable wrench. I don't carry any P3 hand drivers, just power bits. I can always use a power bit in my multi drivers for the rare times I need that configuration, and it's the same for torx bits. These are tools I use a lot, every brand breaks so I choose options that are easy to replace. I couldn't imagine trying to warranty something like this Williams set. My automotive use screwdrivers are all craftsman, they have an excellent warranty on their pry drivers. Their flathead tips are fragile but that rarely matters for a pry tool, they still retract caliper pistons just fine, and if needs be it only takes a second to grind a chisel tip on. And I don't need any wrench hex, I've had impact drivers for the past 20 years. Though back in the 80's and 90's that was a nifty feature. Their Philips drivers always run off long before they wear out. I do keep a P3 screwdriver in my automotive tool chest.

All of my favorite screwdrivers are Japanese; particularly Vessel, but Engineer makes my favorite driver for pulling cammed-out Phillips screws.

[@MrNb131]

At 10:10, I didn't know that was called "vapoblasting" that makes drivers grippy. The more I use screwdrivers the more I appreciate that for preventing cam-outs. For example, the Phillips driver on Swiss Army Knives is widely liked but I think it's very slippery and have to be careful using it. Conversely, the driver tips on the "Cybertool" line of Swiss Army Knives are the grippiest drivers I have and I love them.

Still have a green square handle set of S-K screwdrivers I bought 40+yrs ago. I use screwdrivers for turning screws! Not as pry bars or chisels.

I've got those older 3 sided snap on soft grips from early 01'never had an issue with them peeling, I have snapped some tip though lol not a prybar prybar

My Dad also had the Corvette set, maybe between the screwdrivers left over in each of your boxes y'all might have a combined full set 🤣 or more likely 1 short of a full set

Haha 😜👍🏻

Didn’t even know snappy was rebranded Williams. I never have bought a set of them but everyone i work with has a set, and absolutely hates them. I’ve slowly converted them to vessel, good results so far.

Have you ever owned a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) tip screwdriver? They look very similar to phillips tips, but they're specifically made to fit "asian" screws...which I imagine you see the majority of the time, working on forklifts. JIS screwdrivers will change your whole life! They fit so well, the screwdriver will hang horizontally from the screw head. I bought a set of Vessel screwdrivers about a year ago, and they're fantastic!

I’ve heard of them but I’ve never used them. I might get a set and try them out 👍🏻

1:30 I have one that color. From late 90’s I believe. When my snap on guy replaced the tip, he said he’d never seen one that color lol

CDI is their industrial brand of torque wrenches. I also like Wright tools, especially their combo wrenches.(Not part of the snap-on group last I checked)

I have a few Snap on Screwdrivers, they're fine but too expensive. So I buy Wera sets. I was brought up never to use a screwdriver as a chisel so they last ok ! The best, toughest, cabinet type screwdrivers are I have found the old red handled Stanleys, the grip's not fantastic but the steel is.

I have a a whooole bunch of a screw drivers, a harbor freight set as a pry bar set lmfao, a nice vessel set that I try to keep somewhat nice, a like 90s or 80s ratcheting snap-on screwdriver that was my grandfathers and it’s smooth I love it. A mix of brands in another drawer. Anyway I need to stop myself from buying more I do not need it 😂
