Tradesmen’s Favorite Hand Tools – Updated

1 MIN READ

We recently revisited a survey that we began in 2014 asking newsletter recipients to tell us about their favorite hand tools—specifically, their preferred brands of 16’ tapes, 25-30’ tapes, screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches, lineman’s pliers, and pump pliers. We also asked about the kind of work they performed and what they considered to be their primary trade.

Since the survey results were last compiled we’ve gathered an additional 776 responses (507 from the past two months). The results contain the answers from all 1507 people who responded to the survey. The questions were multiple-choice and included the option to leave a comment.
