This is just SnapOn's attempt to get you to buy a 50$ 12" prybar. Also to stop you from sending your screwdrivers back on the truck every week. But who cares,

  Or buy four or five Pittsburgh ones from Harbor Freight. Those have a lifetime warranty now too. I would love to have SnapOn stuff, if I were made of money or found it second-hand, but it's just stupid expensive new, especially for stuff that tends to get abused.

    Some of the Harbor Freight stuff is great. For wrenches and ratchets that get pushed to the limit though I'll exclusively use one of the more pricey brands just out of fear of slamming my knuckles after a tool snaps. Its one of my biggest fears working on anything even after having it happen with minimal damage enough times. For everything else I'll use whatever is closest.

  You're thinking bigger rather than smaller. I learned my lesson about prying with screwdrivers after gouging a couple of PCBs I was trying to repair when my sharp metal "pry tool" slipped, so now I exclusively use nylon pry tools around my electronics. They are cheap and disposable in a good way. Get a 50 pack for $10 on Amazon :)

    Fortunately I don't work with any electronics. I never had the patience for dealing with PCBs or even breadboards.
