- Do you need good screwdrivers?
In this video I show you some Snap-on Instinct screwdriver sets that I have been using in my shop for quite a while.
These are excellent screwdrivers to own and I highly recommend them.

I have a set of blue handled Snap-on screwdrivers that I bought in the 90's, I haven't broke one yet! Used very hard too. The best screwdrivers I've ever used by far! Thanks Don for the video!
I still have a set of black handled SnapOn screw drivers from the 70's. They've been used for just about everything including as screw drivers. Haven't broke yet, even though I've tried.
Hey Don you should check out the "Cats Paw" screwdrivers made by "Mayhew". I bought a set when I worked as an automotive technician. They are very similar to the Snap On screwdrivers but the metal shaft of the actual driver goes all the way through the handle unlike the Snap On ones. I think I paid $50 for them and they have been the best screw drivers I have ever owned. Lifetime warranty too.
Yes, they are expensive, but I have several I bought in the early 90s and they are still good. You save money in the long run in both the cost of not having to keep replacing them, and also from not wasting time from where you've rounded off the screw.
i absolutely love your piston intro like omg wtf it’s great!
I personally like the craftmans drivers, the are durable and warrantied for life. 20 years ago, I broke the tip on a Robby , it set on my box for 20 + years, took it back, no questions asked, go replaced. And it's half the price. Made in the USA
One great feature which you didn't mention is that the hex base of the shaft allows a box end wrench to apply more torque when trying to remove a real stubborn screw.
I have so many screwdrivers and for some reason can't keep track of all of them at any given time. I keep a tool bag now in one of my vehicles and will have one in each of the vehicles just in case I need them while away. Snap-on makes the best tools and they are very pricey too. The warranty is great though and if you can catch the van you can get it replaced quickly.
For me the only part that really matters is the tips, if the phillips tip fits proppery and its really hard so it does not wear on the sides of the tip, its good.
The crossheaded tips/screws are designed to camout, and they do, i stick to straight slotted screws where i can.
+zx8401ztv : The Pozi/Phillips head screws were designed for production lines that use air drivers, they are easier to locate for fast production line conditions where the workers are less than attentive, when we get to use them they have normally been attacked by various other tools in an attempt to undo them, so as you say, they cam out of the screw head.
I have the same set but in orange handle, and I love them!
Will's Garage hi did you find your shaft to start looking corroded or rusty? if so was or is it preventable? thank you
Thanks for all your efforts to help us God Bless
Great review Don! I've got some Snap-On instincts (softgrip) as well and I really like them! The torque you can put on them with your hands is just amazing! I really like my Wiha screwdrivers too and I don't think I could make a choice between these brands!
Have a nice weekend :)
VintageOutboardMan hi did you find your shaft to start looking corroded or rusty? if so was or is it preventable? thank you
I just got a DeWalt 3/8" 20v impact driver. A must have, really nice tool. Don
+umajunkcollector yes I'd like one too
Nice review Donny, I don't seem to use a slot screwdriver much these days and it seems their going to the torques style fasteners . Professionals need professional grade tools . I guess I better stick with my husky screwdrivers LOL
$100 for six screwdrivers? Did I hear that correctly? Holy crap. Too much money for screwdrivers.
thank you donyboy
Great review, but thats a lotta cake for screw drivers.
For the backyard mechanic, Craftsman also has a lifetime warranty and they're half the price.
+Milford Civic i like craftsman screwdrivers too,
It's hard to argue with Snap-On
+Jeff Martinez I find it easy. Overpriced. Like Apple products.
You find it overpriced? Compared to what other product that does the same with the same results? If you can't afford it then you can't afford it but what else is on the market that does what it does?
Jeff Martinez It's a set of screwdrivers. They shouldn't cost $100. and yes I can afford it but $100 for a set of screwdrivers is nuts IMHO.
thx dony
I had a set of the orange ones and 3 of the tips had broke or worn blunt within 6 weeks I got a set of Chinese ones or a third of the price and have been using them for 3 years with no problem.
I liked my Snap on screw drivers when they were new , but if you do not no longer have a truck stop by the warranty does not seem to matter . I guess any more i am not one of their biggest fans .
wtbm123 hi did you find your shaft to start looking corroded or rusty? if so was or is it preventable? thank you
i have been looking at gettinh some new screwdrivers
Don you should like into wiha micro finish screwdrivers.
Does snapon sell blades for security screws like spanner, IPR, 5 lobe, or torxplus?
If you said you like Craftsman screwdrivers then you don’t have a set of these. I have both in my tool box and never use the craftsman. They are not bad but I grab what works the best.
Nice review!
Practice on the bench grinder that is.
Nice review Don. Do you purchase Snap-On tools online or off the truck?
thank you for this...
Hi dude. Have you found your shaft to be slightly corroded/rusty looking now? If so was or is it preventable while still using it often
Ok thanks everyone, I try my hand in the drill doc. and I will on the bench grinder....
I've heard for $100 they are the same and last just as long as a set for 40$
Two minor glitches: The screwdrivers in your un-opened box may look red to you, but they're orange. If you read the part number again, it's SHDX60O; the "O" indicates the handle color, which in this case is orange. You stated that the screwdrivers "...are all Phillips or star end..", which caught my attention. Torx are often referred to as "star end", but there aren't any in this set. Beyond that, a nice video. I'm a DIYer, so I buy them individually as the need comes up; it doesn't hurt as much when I do it that way. I really like the grippy, two-component handles, and the blades are very durable. Initially pricey, but worth the money.
In Canada. I use Mastercraft from good old Canadian Tire. They are all gauranteed for life. Can't lose.DaveBelleville, On
Whaaaaaaaaat, NO ROBERTS???
how do you use the hex head on the shaft? Good video
+James Mullins for replacing the tip
+donyboy73 The hex "bolster" on the screwdriver is there so you can use a wrench to apply more torque if necessary. The shaft & tip of these screwdrivers are molded into the handle, I do not believe they are replaceable. See page 2 of this from Snap-On pst-ir.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Hand_Tools_Part_4.pdf
+Richard Fallstich the snapon said that's what he does when one breaks
+donyboy73 : These con men selling you a tool for three times it's value will tell a mug anything to get a sale, the hex bolster is there for applying extra torque to a screw, (but if you use it and break the tip, snap off will tell you that you have abused the tool, and will not replace it, mugged!
+Englishman French I would have to politely disagree with you on this one
I'm curious why you use snap-on and not craftsman?
+Larry Lafferty I prefer the hand grip on these
+donyboy73 okay
make sure you keep the receipt if not snap on will not replace it. who keeps the receipt longer than a few months
+AlmightyKing2556 they are supposed to warranty even without receipt
+donyboy73 not anymore I just call a few weeks ago and they told me if I had the receipt and I didn't so they didn't replace anything
+AlmightyKing2556 call head office, if that ever happens to me i'll never buy a tool from snap-on ever again!
+donyboy73 that's where I call costumer service that why I don't understand why people buy from ebay or anywhere else if snap on would not warranty the tools if you don't have a receipt
+AlmightyKing2556 Includes the dealer saying not purchased from me as well
Donyboy: can you tell me where to buy a good quality set of "Metal cutting drill bits" that won't dull after the first use. thank you (Joe)
I used to have the same issue until I bought a Drill Doctor and sharpen all my dull bits now. I use mine to drill through stainless steel. Maybe that would help you. Have a good day.
+Jeff Martinez thanks jeff yes that helps a lot... hope you have a gret day also.
+Joe Partridge cobalt bits last much longer
+Joe Partridge check amazon
+Jeff Martinez how do you like the drill doctor? I was thinking of getting one
Hey dony, Do you happen to have any old 20" chainsaw bars that you are willing to get rid off. I will be happy to pay you for one and pay for the postage.
Kind regards
+FallingFire not at the moment
Waaaaayyyyy to expend
I'm a new subscriber interested in becoming proficient in small engine repairs, specifically Stihl products. Thank you for the videos. I'll be viewing them when time allows.
+wyattoneable thanks for subscribing
$100 bucks and still no Robertson head.
Those cost more than my drill with bits.
Expressive *
snapon truck will not warantee their tools i don't buy there tools ever again
+joe vanvalkenburg I'm with you Bud!! I bought an overpriced Body Hammer off them once with a lifetime guarantee, once it broke it wasn't guaranteed any more!! I won't buy shit off them sonovabitches!!☺
+805ROADKING Exactly.
+joe vanvalkenburg Isn't it a horrible joke. I've got $10kCAD worth of snap on tools and some have been broken for years and I can't get them fixed. I have pretty much stopped buying off the trucks.
Liar! My Snap on man will replace anything that breaks, no questions asked!
ive had for 30 years
I hate that screwdriver handle design,does not fit my hand very well.I like the old style hard handle better
Snap-On tools are too rich for me.
$100 "on sale"? No thanks.
