i had a snapon pozi screwdriver that was worn out .took it to a dealer and he said could only replace it if he bust the end off and duly did 
in other words if it was fairly worn out its not covered

Unless you're a biker, you'll never use them. I haven't touched mine since I sold my last Japanese bike.Wasn't aware of these, of course, now I need another set of screwdrivers!!!
Cheers guys

I'm bikeless now, but sometimes use the JIS drivers on PZ's as they have grippier tips and less likely to cam outUnless you're a biker, you'll never use them. I haven't touched mine since I sold my last Japanese bike.
Japanese cars use JIS screws too. MX5s are littered with themUnless you're a biker, you'll never use them. I haven't touched mine since I sold my last Japanese bike.

I was looking at them on pbswisstools.co.uk and thinking how incredibly good value they were until I realised the website is dead and the prices are 3 years out of date, might as well double the prices now.
That's correct. I assumed we'd covered that already with your Snap On man breaking the tip off for a warranty claim. Warranty is for manufacturing defects, not wear and tear.
Wera don't start at Snap On prices though and FWIW, Halfords won't (or shouldn't) replace worn screwdrivers either

Hoffmann you'll get 20% off your first order and they're very reasonable. I picked up a set of 3 pozi, 3 phillips, 8 flat, 7 torx and 2 plus/minus for about £120I was looking at them on pbswisstools.co.uk and thinking how incredibly good value they were until I realised the website is dead and the prices are 3 years out of date, might as well double the prices now.

Maybe in France. I have a pair of ,Facom torque wrenches, that could do with ratchet repair kits. Tried to get some, through our local dealer, Hayleys, bearing in mind we use them , a lot at work , they came back and said they couldn't supply any and to try Ebay. Don't have a Mac tools van , around here.

Tried getting in touch with Facom UK , too. Spoke to a lovely, helpful lady, she gave me email and number, for correct dept. to get in touch with. Tried both ways, never heard back from them!

Facom CS is crap imo, I tried to get a ratchet replaced but gave up as they were awkward and unresponsive, didn’t cost me anything so I gave up but put me off them ever since, shame as decent tools otherwise. Never used PB Swiss or Vessel customer service but both make nicer tools.
