My dad told me a funny John Deere story. My dad grew up on his family's dairy farm in the 50s. His uncle had a International Farm-All tractor. The neighboring farmer had a brand new John Deere. The neighbor kept going on about just how great his new John Deere was. Dad's uncle suggested they meet out in the field with their tractors and manure spreaders and have a race to see which tractor was better. The two took off and dad's uncle passed the John Deere and proceeded to cover it with manure. After the race was over he told the neighbor "That's what I think about your new John Deere!" 🤣🤣
The previous premium line of Stanley screwdrivers, the Workmaster was even better. Easier to get a grip on the screwdriver for maximum torque, the earlier Workmaster screwdrivers were also labeled with Boron steel shafts, later cheapened with alloy steel instead. Then Stanley came out with the 100 plus screwdrivers, these early ones effectively replaced the Workmaster units although for a very short while both lines were available. Sadly, the Workmaster went away, then Stanley later cheapened the 100+ by deleting the Boron steel shafts. I still have a couple of my original Boron steel shaft Workmasters left out the set I bought new in the early 70's. Still in use today some 50 years later. The good news is you can often find the boron steel 100+ and Work masters at garage sales at bargain prices.
While it looks like Deere is offering a cheap set, it does appear they still offer the Witte made screwdrivers. These are the same screwdrivers as Matco minus the little carpet grips. I have a set I bought in the 2000's. Very good screwdrivers and I would rank the Phillips tips better than Snap on.
corporate greed , that is why we cant have nice stuff anymore . There used to be competition about who made the best product , nowdays the competition is all about making a product that has the most planned obsolescence it can have and still function for a little while . No company actually cares about their product or their customer . This will only get worse .

Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching today's video. Again thank you 👌
I doubt Deere ever gave any of these away. I think they were sold by their dealers along with other overpriced tools and clothes.
My neighbor has the John deere set he was a potato farmer he only has John deere tractors 🚜.

Great information thank you Catus
Glad it was helpful!
It's amazing how much John Deere branded tools command a premium when the majority of them are nothing special.
