Unfortunately if you actually look at most of them they clearly are different.I know some of yall frequent garagejournal..
this is a decent thread that has many crossover numbers to tool truck equivalent's. I.e. snapon=williams, etc

That's a weird looking vise grip

With the amount of people cobbling shit together to do the same job, I view my comment as a public service.
I have one somewhere. I don't think it's ever been used
You have to verify....there are 20 pages there. For some things there are no substitutesUnfortunately if you actually look at most of them they clearly are different.

I see this shit all the time. It is a bunch of brokedicks with gas station knives and HF tools explaining to people that actually know, how we are paying too much. They are usually wearing velcro shoes and driving a Mazda that they are sure is as good as a Lexus.
I just googled the first thing listed…You have to verify....there are 20 pages there. For some things there are no substitutes
I can verify with hands on experience, Williams hard handle screwdrivers are now an exact match to Snap On. They used to be slightly different in some trivial way, but the ones I just got a few months ago are identical minus the logoYou have to verify....there are 20 pages there.

They used to be blue and gray normal shaped handles on the Williams.. not 4 sided. I know this because the mechanics at the a power plant I worked at had a whole drawer full of them. As the plant electrician I took great pride in driving the shaft through the handle of their screwdrivers when using them as a chisel.I can verify with hands on experience, Williams hard handle screwdrivers are now an exact match to Snap On.

I have the same tool but older from snap on. There are times I have to be hammer mechanic too but I like my paws so I’ll use the paw saver tool

Who am I to say they didn’t need a bunch of long handled stubbies?Well, ain’t you a bowel of Cheerios
You can break anything used outside of its design parameters, I am sure most of us here are guiltyThey used to be blue and gray normal shaped handles on the Williams.. not 4 sided.

I have always used long Channelocks.It’s for holding chisels and punches without risking your dickbeaters

^ x100A skilled individual with some shit tools can still kick a hack with some high dollar tools ass too. I'm somewhere in between most days.
Vice grips work more betterer.I have always used long Channelocks.
Keeping ones digits intact is a priority (cut off my right hand pinkie years ago, speaking from exp).
Tools beats no tools, a better tool brings that extra oomph to the table.
A shitty mechanic/craftsman whatever likely cannot get full potential out of either.
Also fk justifying tools to anyone, use what works and have a blast. We are certainly better off vs gamers/folk who couldn't find the correct end of a hammer.
I don’t work on much farm equipment so I use shock or strut rods. They aren’t super hard but they are free and come in good sizes. They are great for when you have to weld or grind them to make something.Vice grips work more betterer.
And for those of you that work around farms, broken or discarded fingers off the gathering rolls on combine bean heads make awesome punches. Idk if they are hardened, they act like it. They snap rather than bend. That's my go to to get seized and rusty hydro pins out. Some poor sap holding the snapped finger with vice grips and me swinging my purse.
Fingers look like this unbroken, they normally snap between the two ridges. Leaving a ridge so the fanger doesn't slip out of the vice grip when your beating on shit.
I bet half of the cost there is the adapters for pulling axle bearings, etc. I have the OTC slide and it doesn’t come with those.Couldn't imagine paying almost $700 for a simple slide hammer kit.
I see you post all the time with some level head, and being constructive.This is true. Crappy tools beat no tools every time. Use what you have.
However the people always comparing HF etc to Snapon are clowns and should be called on it.
Some scrap steel rod or an all thread, wise grip welded on, add a 5lb or 10lb weight and let er ripCouldn't imagine paying almost $700 for a simple slide hammer kit.
When I lived real close to a tool rental place where the owner would hook me up I borrowed a snap on pilot bushing puller slide hammer, it worked great. I bought a HF version one a few years back , its a piece of shit and broke the little tips off.Couldn't imagine paying almost $700 for a simple slide hammer kit.
