- I'm not a metallurgists nor a fabricator but when my Snap-on torque adapter broke on me it sure looked like powdered sintered junk that was electroplated! I included it in a video I posted about some Snap-on tools that drove me nuts!
Snap-on tools that are the worst! Pure garbage! Say goodbye to your wallet.
• Snap-on tools that are...
A viewer commented that they actually ARE solid steel and for me to take it to a grinder and see. Metal just looks like that when it breaks that way. Well I've got a grinder! I still have the broken piece. Let's find out!

the grain structure of tool steel when it breaks looks really weird and crystalline
@sweepphreak I hear ya. Very crystalline break for sure. When I looked at it closer while making this video it looked less like powdered than I thought it did when I first looked at it.
i dont think its powdered metal the heat treating was off its tool steel
I know nothing about steel but wouldn't sintered steel polish up the same as forged chrome vanadium tool steel.
@stuartburton1167 I wondered about that myself. I'm definitely no materials expert. I'll have to try it next time I get a hold of something that definitely is powdered. There is no end to things you can learn in this trade!
Nice!
Snap On has to make more money from you and make cheaper tools to be able to SPONSOR more race cars and other sponsoring needs, this is why I do not buy SO.
