The SYE looks to be more durable based on the the way the yoke engages a new shorter shaft. With the said I have never seen a hack and tap break.

Breaking Taps is probably one of the worst things that ever happens to me during a normal work day.. Especially if it is a fucking 3-56 or 5-44 tap.

What a pain in the ass.

I did a full SYE because the price was right when I bought it. It works great
