If you were using it as a screwdriver and it broke you must be the incredible hulk, if on the other hand you were misusing it then tough titty, ya ain't gonna get it replaced.
I have Snap On screwdrivers in perfect condition and they are at least 25 years old.

Cos they just don't break if used correctly.

There are always tell tale signs if it has been used as a chisel or tyre lever

ah... is that how it works

Decent tools only ever fail if they're misused, how many times on here have you read "chisel it off with a screwdriver" "lever it off with a screwdriver" etc.

Have to say I've always bought decent but not mega expensive tools. and the only time I've ever snapped a screwdriver was a Phillips using a pair of molegrips on handle to try and get a seized screw out

I crack snap on impact sockets all the time using a snap on air gun-That's using them as they're designed. But I do agree snapping a screwdriver while using it as a screwdriver would take some doing.
