- Snap On tools have a certain mystique that often affords high prices even when used. But not all Vintage Snap On Tools carry their Snap On magic into the future. Here are five Snap On tool categories to consider buying used or to avoid paying more than a little.

Good information in this video. I have bought many used Snap-on tools off Ebay. My rule is roughly 50% of new prices for current generation tools. Sadly that is getting hard to do recently. People are selling used tools for next to new prices.
More for my Snap On addiction! Thanks Doc!
If the vintage stuff makes you happy then lucky you. So many people these days seem to have the iPhone disease and need the latest regardless of function.
Agree on the old Snap On adjustables.
I have one that has an unreal super thick chrome dipping. Like an adjustable Excalibur. 😂
yes. the thick chrome is what feels so good. I hadn't thought about the thickness of the coatings but it makes sense. Alas, I think those days are gone.
Those snap on adjustables are made by bacho. The Bahco BAH9029C is the same thing with a black handle.
Your videos are awesome 👌
I like the v series wrenches. They look so cool
I just paid a dollar for a pair of slip joints from 84 and I cleaned them up and I plan on using them, I have a brand new pair and those are great aswell
Literally all those companies used the same screw driver handle.
The newer type adjustables are a Bahco pattern & made in Spain ............
I warranties an old prybar like that for a new style one.
Watching from New Zealand,SNAP-ON tools wouldn't be as good today if it wasn't for their tools in the past,just my honest opinion.
Eye lyke Snap On toolz 👍
I’ll take the hard handle screwdrivers like that yellow one all day over the new style handles
Honestly my newer mahew dominators blow snap-on off the deck
The new snap on wrenches are made by Bahco. The new vice grips are made by Malco.
Of course you are speaking from a users perspective. There is a big difference in what is of value to a user vs a collector. Most users dislike collectors because we tend to drive the prices up on the older tools. It looks like you are trying to do the opposite.
The later Snap On adjustable wrench looks like a rebranded Bacho. They are a Swedish company so probably they are. They’ve always made the best adjustable mostly because the profile of the jaws usually allowed a little bit more movement in tight spaces. The over moulded versions are neither here nor there if you are wearing gloves, in fact it becomes a nuisance if you need to get a pipe on the end to get some more leveraged.
They're Bahco, made in Spain. S-O owns Bahco now.
@@kylesonsalla7620 ooff, looks like you can get a set of three 6,8 and 10” bacho’s for the cost of one 6” snap on branded bacho. That’s a hefty Snap On tax.

The snappy version also has Flank Drive grooves in it that the other ones don't, but I still don't think it's worth the price. Another rebrand from bahco is the PWZ pliers
Hello boys it’s josh
@@kylesonsalla7620 Kyle is correct - S-O does own Bahco and they are the same tool outside of the broaching SO calls "Flank Drive Plus"...don't know how some serrations are flank drive when flank drive was supposed to offset the nut to the flats...
Beware of Alltrade, my grandfather had a large set of the black handled snapon knockoffs from Alltrade and with the markings worn off you may mistake them for snapon.
personally I don't demand the highest tooth count ever in a ratchet, but I do agree 36 teeth is kind of course in 1/4".
I quite like a light action 45 tooth roundhead in 1/4" , I'd try an old snapon but I would not be blinded by the name on it.
I will say the head on that older model was a decent amount smaller.
I was using a 36 tooth a bit ago and was shocked at how old it felt. I hav new Blue Points that are 36 and am surprised how frustrating it is to have a 10 degree arc compared to a 5 degree one.
@@lastbesttool
For my needs I have found that having a light back drag tension is more important then high tooth count , but I can't fault anyone who does value a high tooth count.
Love my older USA mades adjustable wrench. Haven't bought any newer style ones cause they just don't feel right.
Big teeth on a ratchet makes negligible difference 99% of the time
Adjustable wrenches are all terrible. Pliers wrench is the way to go…unless of course you like busting your knuckles.
I prefer the older prybars and adj wrenches better than,the new one the others I prefer the newer ones
I totally get that. Get what makes you happy. The old stuff seems to hold some essence of good times.
