For your next video, you should race a Ferarri against a Ford Escort.

Why pick their cheapest and worst quality screw drivers? How about some of their higher end screw drivers from HF?

Even though that set is cheap, It's one of my favorite sets, at least for what I'm using em for. The finish on them isn't great, but they're still good for medium-light use.

Not a good test, sorry. Snapping the handle off of a screwdriver is not the failure point of a screwdriver. The engagement to the screw, and the quality of the end that engages the screw should be the test point.

Yeah the guy is a pro snap on see that drawer full of snap on tools you wander why lol

Wow! I mean really dude?! I love snap on and this is just crazy. A message to all the home guys, any screw driver will hold up for professional use. I am an apprentice diesel mechanic and grew up around trucks and equipment and tools. You should just use the tool for its intend use. I always wondered if snap on was better and yeah they are a little bit, but you have to realize that you are mostly paying for the brand. Use what you want and don't hate on snap on tools, they are good and so are harbor freight (well some of hf lol), you get the point.

@@802dieselcrew8 got a reply guess it worked lol. Don't mean to be harsh man, just saying you can't really compare the screwdrivers in this way. You really would never be putting that much torque on your screwdrivers anyways, you would probably want to use a drill if you need that much torque. The snap on are far superior but you can just tell those harbor freight ones are cheap, i own the snap on and have used the hf. Just saying they can hold up to pro use, people just shouldn't be using like this. But by all means if you want to do this test that is up to you. If you do comparisons do as you wish, I like comparisons but they should be in the same ballpark not a $25 screwdriver vs a $.50

You are comparing a $.50 screw driver against a $8 and a $20 screw driver.... so....... according this video the $8 craps man is just as good as the $20 Snap-Off??

Did no one notice the obvious cut in the video ? Also the HF had clearly the most grip on the handle by alot.

I had the same thing happen to my harbor freight screwdriver the first time I used it. It's no joke

AWESOME! I Always use my screwdrivers as pry bars instead of to fasten screws. How about using long-handled vice grips with a breaker bar to really test them? Or you could just put them in the vice and pound them sideways with a 10 lb. sledge hammer. See which ones bend.

I wanna see a comparison with some of the “high quality” hf screwdrivers. The snap on clone ones.

Terry Peck This is exactly what I came to comment. The Pittsburgh Pro (item#61255) would be the fairest comparison.

What can you expect from the cheapest screwdrivers. At least use the pittsburgh. Seems like you wanted the harbor freight to fail to justify buying overpriced tools

Hmm.... Is that really how ypu test the quality of a screwdriver? xD

The screw will either strip, snap, or start turning if you apply that much force. All this test does is show how well attached and the quality of the handle material. A much better test would be to find a softened and rusted screw and see if any of the three can undo it starting with the harbor freight.

Yeah not a fair test should have got the Pittsburgh prograde screwdriver set.

Great video Eddy👍🔧🍺 You can put a big closed end wrench over the craftsman handle if you needed torque. I'm not sure on the size but it should be SAE.

Use the right tool for the job, do not abuse that tool, do regular maintenance and cleaning, even cheapo tools will serve you well for a very long time. If you fuck-up a decent quality screwdriver, you probably should avoid putting any tool in your hands.

I worked as a professional certified tech for 3 years worked on thousands of cars. Also built houses I've never even used screw drivers once to deliver that amount of torque. Harbor freight has good stuff, as to why people keep comparing the cheapest HF stuff to snap on , i don't know. I worked with a guy who worked 25 years in the field had over 100 k in Snap on tools and made over 100k a year in pay, i never saw him pick up a damn screw driver to work on anything half the time they were used as prying tools. When a guy opens up his snap on box and it looks like that trust me he's not really using half that stuff. Their ratchets, impact sockets, breaker bar, and alot of other stuff are top of the line and very comparable to snap on. The pro Pittsburgh stuff is legit.

@Bill Johnson im speaking from experience and i have used harbor freight stuff with snap on. Snap on is only the best in wrenches and sockets for ratchets. Impact sockets like sunex or grey pneumatic are absolutely as good as snap on impact. But as far as hf ratchets breaker bars etc are just as good. Snap on is not the best tool company in any category other than sockets and wrenches.

A strap wrench would give more leverage instead of wrecking your hands

Not even in the same category of tool. If you are applying that much torque, you'd be better off using the wrench on the hex shank.

HFs bottom end is never the ones to get though. gotta check out their mid to upper range

I'm sure the Snap-on is better than the Harbor Freight. I was a mechanic in my younger years. My question since Harbor Freight sells different quality was that their best screwdriver? Not that it would necessarily turn out any different just a question.

Next test the higher quality black handled screwdriver

I know there cheap but you didnt turn it the same way you did the others. Plus you obvousley already knew it was going to break otherwise you would not have rite before putting the hf one on there said " as you can see it hasnt been alterd" so you knew it was going to break and was letting us know u didnt cheat the test. But yes the hf handles suck the metal is decent

HF one gave up without a struggle, sad. Still good for around the house tho.

great video Eddie as always

So u got the cheapest set from HF and compared it to to top of the Snap-on set....

Not to mention you twist the HF version the opposite direction, the direction you can apply more tourqe. But i don't know anyone who ever did or would compare a $10 HF 12 peice set to a Snap-on $50+ single screw driver.

So i guess no one will be torquing anything down to like 250 ft/lbs with the harbor freight then

I noticed you didn't test them against icon screwdrivers

All these harbor freight fan girls crying. Best video ever harbor freight salty tears.😭

Eww that the hell are the grips on the HF screwdriver 🤣

Leave the craftsmans in a hot car during the day and the handle become so bendable it's ridiculous. I have pictures for proof too

Those cheapy orange and black screwdrivers are actual garbage. Literally the first time I tried using one the handle stripped out so only the handle would spin.

Those snap on remind me of another older model brand think it was Stanley

I hope you realize this is a selling commercial you're going to find Snap-on quality tools at Harbor Freight just like I'm going to find Gucci on Canal Street

Guys got money to burn. His wife and kids must be starving. 🤣

How dare you click bait me! 😂 also I uploaded a Channellock vs Knipex, Check it out let me know what you think!

This was a waste of time to even watch.

Great video thanks brother. I have two sets of Snap on. I also have a set of Stanley and old Craftsmen. The one set of Snap on I got back in 82-83 the other set has the red and black handles. I don't let nobody use them. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

Lots of haters here but I admit I thought this was a stupid test until the HF screwdriver broke. What a POS. Carlyle makes the best screwdriver for the bux.

Hay what you think that hex shaped shoulder a wrench maybe

Its the handles that are cheap on my Pittsburgh screwdrivers.

I use my screwdrivers to drive screws. What are you doing?......lol.......they aren't visedrivers.

Very scientific...I'll use my right hand! Toolbag.

Nice to see all the Chinese straw men in the comments. Welcome boys.

if your going to use so much torque on the screw driver wouldn't you just put a wrench on the metal end of the screwdriver? Can't do that with craftsman. I would rather see you test the metal than the plastic. Besides you have no type of torque gauge to show how much torque was being put on the HF driver. Looks like the other two drivers had lousy handles in that you would have a hard time getting a good grip on them. I say winner Harbor Freight.

Everything was good till i notice u edit the HF screwdriver!! Horrible video!!

I never hade a handle come off my screw driver's problem is they are worn out after 20 years looking for the most durable tips, of course I could just take them all back and get a new set since they are craftsmen I would have rether seen a 24 inch pipe wrench on the craftsmen and the snapon then a 2 lbs hammer driving the tips into a vise to see what tip was harder and deformed less anything would have been better then watching you brake a toy screwdriver at least get an icon next time if you facing off with snapon their is no real screw testing on youtube

you get what you pay for

Nice try claiming that what effectively is a dollar store screwdriver has a weaker handle then an overpriced Snap On. Try comparing tools that are actually supposed to be equal, not the cheapest Harbor Freight junk.. And where's the proof the METAL is any worse?

You have very little muscle in your arms and just have too weak of a grip.

Why don't you try a comparison with Harbor Freights professional line of screwdrivers I myself find them pretty good not knocking anything I would just like to see how they compare to Snap-on.

You rich dudes call it hobo freight, the rest of us poor slobs weren't born with a silver wrench in our ass! I ain't paying the snap off guys house off or putting his kids through Harvard. Everytime the snap off truck pulls upto our garage, all the newbies run outside. All the old timers holler,"sucker"!

Really, go to Harbor Freight and buy the Pittsburg Pro or the Quinn series screwdrivers. This review was biased and crap.

Hell naw thats fake as shit you edited for the hf to look like it failed

31 HFT diehards thumb downed this video.

Completely bullshit "test" and insanely clickbaity article. No shit a $0.50 screwdriver isn't as good as a $25 Snap On. What did you think the outcome was going to be? I myself use IRWIN screwdrivers on a daily basis and I find them to be the best when compared to my Matco and MAC. I don't own any SnapOn ones, waaaayyyy to overpriced for what they are.

Snapoff or crapman paid you very well for this crappy test. 1. You didn’t use HF top of the line screwdriver set like Quinn. 2. Vice test is just only one test on screw drivers. You should test stipping Philips screw driver test, Bending strength, and use torque wrench to test its strength where you put wrench to help it turn, let not forget screwdriver handle test. Worst screwdriver set test ever. You also didn’t mention how many screwdrivers you have left to use for HF compared to crapman, and snapoff one screwdriver breaks you got nothing to use. At at HF you got life time too.

Please do this test with the better quality HF screwdrivers that are $12 for a pack of 6 or 8 with blue handles. For $1.50 you will quickly prove to yourself that you overpaid for your crap-on.

Awesome video my brother.. Go EAGLES!!!

A couple of months ago I had a coupon for them Harbor Freight one,s for 3.99 with the coupon and got two sets of them for my Junk Yard Tool bag and keep my good one's forEverything but the junk yard,s.

Thanks for the show down. A lot of people think a tool is a tool buy the cheapest. Hope they see this.

Totally pointless video
