Craftsman must of upped their game or maybe they were the professional ones, because the old blue, red and clear ones weren’t very good in my opinion. Handles didn’t allow a lot of inline pressure and the Phillip tips worn out easily.

The handles on the Snap-on give such good grip that one time the firefighters at work were supposed to remove a white board off the wall before I got there to paint a room. They tried their Craftsman drivers first, then buggered up the heads with a cordless driver. I got there and took my Snap-on ratchet screwdriver from my belt pouch and removed every screw without any struggle. The Snap-on tips helped too.

2nd issue was security screws in a jail lock that I couldn’t remove with the security driver set we had on site. I used the same tip from that set and put it in my Snap-on driver and the screws came right out. Which really made me aware how important a handle shape is to removing difficult fasteners.
