Few people ever buy that set from Snap-On. My tool set is a mixture of brands and levels of quality, and has been assembled over a number of decades. While I've worked as a mechanic from time to time, and still do a lot of automotive work, I've never been a top-of-the-line mechanic. It's a never-ending search for exactly the right tool for every operation. Instead, they have a basic set, supplemented with individual tools they find that they need in their particular work. Most mechanics don't have that full set of tools. There's a reason for each variation, and the experienced mechanic will choose the tools that will make whatever job easier, more efficient, and with less risk of the tool slipping. Some have 6-point openings, while others have 12-point openings. Some have offset working ends at different angles. Some have a thin wall around the openings. If you actually looked at them, you might understand their differences better. Again, you might be able to get by with the wrong tool, but, the same issues arise sometimes.Īs for those wrenches, it's interesting. You need the right tool to work with each. There are also different sorts of Allen socket forms. However, to use your screwdriver example, if you use a screwdriver that doesn't exactly fit the screw, you're liable to damage the head of the screw or have the driver slip when you attempt to loosen or tighten it. You can, of course, use a different tool, if you don't have the exact one needed for a particular operation. However, each of the tools in that ultimate set has a specific purpose.
