What to be more tool savvy, budget friendly and efficient in and around the shop, garage and home? I make videos to help you learn about tools that work and provide great value in what will stand up over time... or if you simply need a cheap solution for a one-and-done job. Having the right tools when working on cars, trucks, motorcycles or just around the house is important not only for your safety, but your budget. Build and fix not only things in life, but create a relationship and have fun doing it! You should subscribe to my channel if you haven't done so already, enjoy!
I own many tools, duh. The Tekton brand is pretty good. I once had a problem with their 1/2 click style torque wrench and they just sent me a new one. No one question, No hassle. They may not come to my door like SnapOn, but I had a new working wrench in three days.
The only reason I buy snap-on in yard sales and state sales is to resale them and I’m I’m getting good at it making money. Got a set of sockets for $20 sold them for $165 a ratchet for insane $1 at a state sale sold it for $50
Did not learn one thing in this video. Most of us who use tools, from a homeowner to a professional technician know Snap-on tools are very expensive and will also know that Tekton makes good tools and HF Icon tools are garbage. For a homeowner, Tekton is the tool that replaced craftsman. Harbor Freight's tools are the tools that replaced sticks and rubber bands. Even tie-straps at HF are garbage....
The handle shape is one thing I didn't like about the old and cheaper new craftsman ratchets, It was good on the combination wrenches because it offered a wider surface than most others, but as frar as the wrenches, the nicer, newer ones that look more like Kobalt/Snapon are allright.
Im about to do my Timing belt & water pump ...one of these ratches wont help much on those 2 things ...... But it will sure help getting to those things, all the crap that has to come off. Im getting the Berzerker 49.00 ratchet off amazon. ...price has me sold. good reviews, mostly need it for doing my timing belt so if it fails me after a few weeks, I dont care much. If the hercules made a long skinny one Id be interested.
That seems to work a lot better than it used to with any Sears hometown store I used to go to. Those sears stores put me through hell trying to get things warrantied, good riddance Sears/craftsman era. It was pretty pathetic at the end.
I stripped one of these metric hex bolts by using imperial wrench on a hex cap bolt with loctite on it. When I was about to use one of these destructive methods you suggested, I recalled I have a pair of Vampilers and it worked.
As a plumber, I usually use m12 tools. When I need more power i go with flex. But lately I’ve been buying more m18 tools so we’ll see what happens in the future
Bro You make clear sense and everything you explain about the Harbor freight way of selling the power tools with their allocart batteries and tools. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense and on top of that, you have to buy additional the extended warranty. I've been a Harbor freight customer for some years.I bought generators and tools an the majority of times.I don't really bother buying the extended warranty.Because the majority of times I don't get to use the tools as often . But somehow I continue going to Harbor freight and buy certain tools that I like from them always wait for their 15% coupons or 5 or 10 money.Return gift that I get from them from time to time.
I wonder if there would be any correlation between the results on this test and a test where they're pushed to failure. I wonder if the "smoother" ratchets would be as strong.
Probably should use a different cheater bar that puts even pressure on all of the ratchets. The cheater bar is not perfect and I guarantee its giving you inconsistent results
I got a set of stubby icon ratcheting for 6 dollars at fle market and put them on offer up for 40 and some on offer me 20 after two months icon has a worst resale than snap on for example I got some double box Craftsman 6thru30 made in USA for two hundred and sold for them for five hundred can u recommend wrenches that sell for more than the original price
Hope you read this ummmm Having your foot up on the bench and trying to pry is really realty bad for you oring Someone I knew blew an boring and he had to dab himself clean for 5 weeks after the surgery and couldn't push out a poop
i just bought these, i had another store brand that i dropped from about 4 feet and it split open,the lifetime warranty was one reason i bought these.next would have been DeWalt but those drills werent brushless and only a 3 year warranty
