Craftsman USA Universal Nut Driver Review

- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- This is a unique design for a universal nut driver, a tool that several manufacturers have tried their hand at but they never really seem to be good enough for prime time. I do compare to a few other designs in this video.
Wow! Haven't seen one of these "cam-drivers" in decades! I have a "sleeve-driver", somewhere. Occasionally use a "pin-driver". (Mostly use the "search for correct socket in the kit" method.) Great review, thanks for the memories.
Ah, I can smell the handle on that Stanly through the computer! 😆
Reminds me of my grandfather's workshop.
Yep, that typical stinky, pukey smell. You can always smell it when you get close to the bins at flea markets.
@@trekzilladmc I actually enjoy the smell. Doesn’t stink at all, just pungent and unique.
I like this channel. Because he shows tools I've never seen/heard of before. Great videos, bro!
I appreciate that!
No problem.👍
I have seen the others but not that one seems gimmicky thanks for sharing your expertise
I had one of those I bought when they were new to sears, I think. I had a full set of nut drivers and never used it.. at the time I had no need for metric. Seemed to work well in a pinch. Around 1975
Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I remember seeing these in Sears. I thought they looked too gimmicky. Again thank you
Yes haven't seen one in years 😊😊😊
Looks like more trouble than it's worth, to replace four or five sockets and a spinner handle.
Not very common because they were almost useless and very poor sellers when new.
✌️
Spectacularly bad.
Craftsman screwdrivers are good, but not for screwdrivers. Even the USA made which brings stupid prices on eBay are identical to the ones Lowes sells today. They are good for bending the long thin flat blade into an Air Bag removal tool, and using the other flat tips to knock the locking off the fuel pump module and other chiseling type jobs or light duty prying.
Are they good tools or good screwdrivers? Absolutely not. The acetate handle was indestructible back in the day, but it's a small slick handle.
Truth is all Craftsman tools made in our lifetime were cheap inexpensive tools. Some work but they weren't that good. Mechanics don't use round head ratchets anymore and they don't use short wrenches anymore unless the job requires it. About 99% of the time, you gone grab the longer professional length wrench. Which Craftsman had but most of those on eBay are overpriced or trashed.
Most Craftsman ratchets are quick release. It has a big hole in the anvil. Might work for shorter ratchets but they are not that precise either.
Buy you a set of new Craftsman screwdrivers from Lowes and beat and bend the snot out of them. They are probably better than what Harbor Freight sells, but none are good for screwdrivers.
The handle on that nutdriver is totally trashed 🤣
Even though the new chinese craftsman screwdrivers look the same, they are not identical to old Western Forge made craftsman drivers. The quality is not nearly the same. I do agree that vintage craftsman stuff is way too overpriced, most of the time you can find the exact same tools made by Western Forge under a different brand name for half the price, it's just boomers think craftsman was the end all be all. Back in the day they were actually pretty good screwdrivers and I think they even hold up today. Pratt-Reed drivers were better but WF ones were decent.
On a side note, what is it about people using screwdrivers for everything but what they were intended for? If I need a punch or chisel I use a punch or chisel. Same thing with a pry bar. My screwdrivers are strictly for turning screwdrivers.
