Swapped 1/2" hard handle colors the other day.

Zero interest in buying anything icon.

You really are missing out. I love them for the quality to value ratio and the ease of warranty if needed - so far have not needed warranty. My box is full of Snap On from over many years so I understand the love for Snap on. I turned sour with them over their crazy prices while other tool brands increased their quality at an affordable price as well as their terrible scan tools and subscription rip offs. Add to this having to wait a week to warranty a tool and the price paid to service given is total trash. I haven't bought a Snap on product in 10 years - went to ICON as I needed additional shop tools and everyone likes them and I save a ton of money along with the HF store 8 miles away = win/win.

I've bought quite a few Icon tools over the past couple of years. I really like their G2 ratchets. I own some Snap-On stuff, mainly their pliers and stripper/crimpers and I have one old ratchet.

Not interested in supporting foreign tool manufacturers any more than absolutely necessary. Many things it’s unavoidable. And some stuff may make sense... But any tool Icon/HF makes of this type, the durable goods, no thanks.

I’d maybe consider it for an electric torque wrench. Likely the pcbs and whatnot on a first world unit still come from overseas….

I definitely respect your feelings.
