Snap-on Truck Wins Again: What I Actually Kept

If the Snap-on truck keeps lightening your wallet, you’re not alone. Here’s what actually earned a spot in my kit after another run, and why it’s worth keeping.

What you’ll get:

• Quick wins and use-cases from this haul
• Where each tool shines (and where it doesn’t)
• A few loadout tweaks that make daily work smoother

Versatile drivers that earn their keep

• EZRed 4S12L: a long, locking flex-head with reversible ratcheting on both ends. Quarter-inch bit on one side, quarter-inch drive on the other. It reaches where a stubby ratchet can’t, and the locked angles make awkward fasteners manageable.
• SGDMRC4-TM4 shank: turns the Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver into a quarter-inch socket driver. Great for deep battery compartments where straight, controlled access beats knuckle-busting ratchets.

Tip: If you’re building out the ratcheting screwdriver system, plan shanks around your most-used socket sizes first, then add the flexible shaft later to round it out.

Pliers and cutters: sizing that matters

• HJ46ACFG 6’ Talon Grip FlankJaw slip-joint pliers: double slip-joint with clear direction arrows. Good EDC-sized option for 3/16’–9/16’ fasteners when you don’t want to drag a bigger set.
• HDWC8G 8’ heavy-duty wire cutter: compact bolt-cutter style. Handy for daily garage tasks where a true bolt cutter would be overkill.

Warning: Color consistency varies across green handles. If matching matters in your drawer, check batches side-by-side before you commit.

Water, magnets, and the ‘grab it every day’ light

• NOZZLEPGGRN pistol grip hose nozzle: aluminum body with on/off lever and adjustable pattern. The heft and ergonomics make it feel more like a shop tool than a garden gadget.
• ECFDG108 1,000 Lumen Rechargeable Battery Bar Light (Red): strong magnets and 120° head rotation make it perfect for sticking on steel surfaces or a wall mount. Rechargeable, removable batteries mean you can swap and keep working.
• ECSPK108 1,000 Lumen Slim Flexible Work Light: flexible body with strong magnets; run sections individually or together to fit the job.

Tip: Park a magnetic bar light on a steel surface at eye level. You’ll use it as a stationary area light more than you think, while keeping it ready to grab for close-up work.

Prybars: why the set pays off

• SPBS704AG 4 pc Striking Prybar Set (Green): 8, 12, 18, and 24 inches. Substantial handles with a flared butt keep your hand from sliding under load. The 8’ gets into tight spaces; the longer bars take the hits.

Comparison note: Versus a generic flathead-as-prybar, dedicated strikers don’t twist, slip, or mushroom as quickly, and the handle geometry matters when you’re leaning hard.

Bonus tape measure that pulls its weight

• Fastcap Tape Measure: easy-to-read white blade, markings down to eighths, plus metric. Dual-access buttons help when you’re juggling a light and a driver.

Final takeaway: Build around what you reach for most. A smart driver system, a reliable magnetic work light, and a right-sized prybar set will outwork impulse buys every day.
