You can still cut glass with the decade old MIP drivers I have or the Bullit ones that are 4-5 years old.You cant do that with brand new Snapon tools.
Please dont take this as picking on tool truck tools,I have well over $150,000. in snapon & matco tools & boxes that I use every day to feed my family for the last 15 years.

For 1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0mm hex drivers tool trucks are a frustrating waste of money.

well said butch.

Ive personally seen/tried the snapon big long red handeled 2/2.5mm and it was a joke.....can you say twisty twisty.
