Military aircraft mechanic here: these little “differences” Cody is talking about are game changers. It can mean a quick painless job vs. using the wrong tool, taking time, and potentially damaging the part.

My dad did industrial maintenance for over 30 years, I've been going through his tools since he passed. Finding a wide range of brands, but it's easy to tell which ones are quality like snap on, Mac, proto, and S-K. they just feel different in the hand.

[brw]

As a professional aircraft mechanic I will sign on the bottom line all that you said here. My 1/4 inch Snap-on set was what I had to keep my eye on when my coworkers needed to borrow something

One valuable feature of Snap-on sockets that I don't think you mentioned, is their thin walls. There are situations that no other brand will fit, and my Snap-on sockets saved the day. I measured with a caliper, and the Snap-on sockets were thinner than any other brand. Just on that advantage alone, they were worth the price, as you mentioned, especially at flat rate shops.
Sure, you could take another brand and grind it down. Then when it cracks, you're without a tool, And now you have to spend some money. You would have saved time and money if you had bought Snap-on in the first place.

To tell the truth, I really got the when you pulled out the complete wobble extension set. I did chuckle when you said that the 1/4 drive was primarily used for 7mm-10mm and with the 3/8" and 1/2" you started naming off SAE sized fasteners. I think the metric titanium pins are having more dire consequences! :D I do really like that ratchet and knurled adapter. One thing that's great about the snap-on sockets is the hash marks around the top of the sockets allow you to easily identify metric from SAE, but I did not know about the broach on the deep sockets. I've had my Craftsman deep sockets for a very long time, and have suffered the same fate of fasteners dropping into them. Those are going on my shopping list!

I have never regretted buying a quality tool over a cheap knock off.

I've been a film grip/electrician for almost 30 years now and I'm here to tell you that there are few industries in which the saying "Time is money" is taken as literally as it is in making movies. And to all of us who grind and sweat and bleed to make the magic happen, TOOLS MATTER. We arrive on sets with sometimes dozens of 40 ft (and larger) trailers just packed with nothing but tools. And when you are running and gunning around difficult locations there are a plethora of considerations to account for when choosing the best tool for the job, with weight, size, reliability and effectiveness (OK, the "cool" factor is also taken into some small consideration) all being important. For the things we like and need to carry on us at all times, micro-tooling is becoming quite popular and this little nugget fits right in. Especially because we are often working with fasteners- mostly screws, grub nuts and hex bolts- in extremely tight situations. AND, the mounts, platforms, camera rigs, talent rigs, etc. that we build and break down hour by hour, day after day, have to be human (and often animal) safe while also achieving whatever crazy, never before tried, effect that the director or cinematographer can conceive of. Just imagine the kind of rigs designed and built for movies like Dr. Strange and you begin to get the idea.

I already have a brilliant little 1/4 inch ratchet that I use daily on the job but can't resist adding one more gun like this to the arsenal. Thanks for the tip.

1/4” is invaluable. I have old Made in USA Craftsmen ratchets that I got from my dad. He used them as an aircraft mechanic before he became a teacher. God bless.

[DownHillgamer]

Just got one today with a 3pc 1/4 kit on sale, awesome tool for dash work. Any ratchet that is a flex head is very versatile regardless of drive size and handle lengh and yes! Wobble plus is a game changer, little 1/4 wobble plus on a cordless ratchet to get anywhere you need to go

[mramseyISU]

I’ve got a 3/8 drive Gearwrench version of that little stubby ratchet and I’m amazed at how much I use it.

[petepoling]

As a flat rate GM mechanic for 6 years out of college it’s sink or swim. I took a job at the local steel mill due to politics, service writers picking favorites and that. I don’t regret it though. Snap on tools are the best, they put food in my family’s table and did help me be a more efficient technician. I still have snap on tools I just choose to store all my snap on tools in my big harbor freight tool box.

[halsnyder]

When I was a professional, I used Snap-On, as an owner I have to look at best use of resources… I can’t afford the opportunity cost of Snap-On, I have other things I need to buy. I do miss my Snap-On tools that were stolen, but I can’t justify replacing them (at least not now)

[marchingpackofCeHS]

One of my favorite and most used ratchets is a snap on 1/4 t72 converted to 3/8 drive. Snap on makes the parts to convert 1/4 to 3/8 and some trucks carry already converted ones.

But as a mechanic working on 18 wheelers obviously its not for everything. But when doing A/C compressors and steering pumps etc its AMAZING

[mechanicmike]

Been a professional technician for over 30 years and one of snap ons logos is snap on there is a difference if you use these tools every day like I use these tools every day you cannot replace the quality of a snap-on tool yeah there is cheaper ones And they will work but when you depend on tools to make your living for your family you want to buy the best and nothing else can replace it

[Fireballsocal]

The finger wheel is a must. I've never seen a fingerwheel adapter like what you have there but I've gone out of my way to source 3/8" ratchets that had finger wheels for my trade tools. I'm an industrial maintenance technician. Proto and Blackhawk both make good quality ratchets with thumb wheels built in and I can't overstate how useful they are. Useful enough that I don't use a regular ratchet by choice. I'm going to hunt down some of those finger wheel adapters like you have to add usefulness to some ratchets I have knocking around the house.

[bertman]

The little flex head 1/4 drive you have there is my absolute favourite tool. I've spent thousands on my set up and it really does have a special place for me, i don't always enjoy my work but it genuinely brings me joy to use.
Snapon do a three ratchet set with a very long one, a normal one and the tiny one, worth every penny

[HDSME]

40 yr hvac mechanic here the tool is the job!

[jnease]

Just make sure you turn your ratchets off when you store them. As a mechanic myself, nothing is more frustrating than getting ready to use it and you find out you left it on, and now you have a dead battery... 😉

[davidshull]

The right size drive is important. As a youngster I used a Craftsman 3/8 drive to completely tear down my Camaro's engine...even down to the main and rod caps. That poor little ratchet was not the same after that. LOL I should have had 1/2" drive and long breaker bars.

[MotoDUDEabides]

I’m a pro diesel tech. I use Snapon tools exclusively. I also use 1/4 inch to death. I only go bigger when I have to. Those wobble headed extensions are killer.
