I have the snap on tool, as long as its of decent quality, I'd get the look-a-like. Dont get the other one.

#1 is an exact replica of the unit that Snap-On sells. I have the same unit and no problems to report.

It does the job, that's all you need to be concerned about.

Mine looks like #1, but I paid a hell of a lot more, cause it's snap-on.

I have a whole set, like 8 different sizes, made by astro pneumatic I think. Anyway, it's the same style as snap-on. I would only use that style, since the folding arm gives you good leverage. With #2, you need a cone wrench or something to turn the socket still.

this depends on the driver. most of the time they say "ill be over here at this shop tomorrow if you want, you can stop by"

hollywood/glendale area is a joke as far as it relates to snap on drivers....unless your placing a huge order small tool breakages will take atleast a week to fix.

bluepoint is snap-on's inhouse or sub-brand (made by snap-on with different name to gerate more $ and get more drivers)

bluepoint=snap-on

number two is what the OEM Honda one looks like and that's the one I use.

I have bent the bluepoint one before, but that was likely due to the fact the head was a piece of **** to start with.

The OEM style one is good since it requires you to use a wrench...but also bad because it requires you to use a wrench
