This goes for everything. I have a couple of new apprentices in the hangar and the Snap-On tools that they're buying now are garbage compared to the ones in my box from 20+ years ago. Their pliers are visibly rusting after only a month in their toolbox and their screwdriver's rubber handles are deteriorating with exposure to hydraulic fluids. My decades-old pliers are still corrosion-free with the gunmetal surfaces faded but intact, and my plastic-handled screwdrivers are seemingly resistant to everything.
