One of the joys in life is working with a well made tool that will last a lifetime and save/make you money. I do a wide variety of tool reviews such as SK, Proto, Snap-on, Gearwrench, Knipex, Channellock, Klein, Wilton, Yost, and much more. With that being said, please enjoy the videos, and feel free to comment and send me feedback.
I have one. Same thing. Though I think it’s made worse due to the super short length of the switching lever. Otherwise I actually like the ratchet. Oh also, it’s weird how the tail end is fatter than the upper portion of the handle. And yeah, the green would have been nice though unsure how well it would have lasted.
That's exactly the reason I sold my 3 new snap on Ratchets. At $100-150, that perfection is out the door once you Starr heavy wrenching with them on projects. They are pretty hand tools when new. And I just can't see using them like you would a cheap trashy wrenching you can just toss or set aside on the work bench or on the ground picking up dirt and scratch scuffing. The cheap decent tools will do the same thing as a tool that you over paid 20x.
I have one of these drawer boxes for metric drills in my workshop. It was exactly what I was looking for. Since I couldn't find anything comparable, I gritted my teeth and bought it. Shipping and customs and import duties to Europe cost almost as much as the drawer box itself. But what do we want? I have no regrets.
If I could only have one of those I’d go with the Cobra ones😂…. Followed by them Channel Lock needle nose you showed us😂😂😂 Point is those hand tools are for the guys (like me) with 20 different other pairs
I can't decide.. non-locking has a solid anvil and is stronger... but quick-release will lock onto a stuck socket and you can use a hammer to knock against the ratchet and remove trapped sockets.. and one handed easy socket change is a plus...
I haven't been able to find a lot of top-quality Channel-Lock tools lately either. Seems that in the last 15 to 16 years they have lowered their standards. This is what happens when you SELL OUT and move your tool production to Junkistan, better known as China.
Gearwrench is made in China. I wonder about the Gearwrench with that twist, would it break easier when under extreme torque? But, no made-in-China stuff for me. Too bad you can test them with a load meter till they break, then we would know who has the best tool.
So the block of wood works as a safety stop if the jack bleeds off. Question is I want to use it for my ATV storage stand, will the block work for long term?
Just broke a 15 mm with a 3/8 drive ratchet taking off caliper bracket bolt it's split clean in half. Message them today they will send a new one but I have to pay $7 plus to get it shipped to me. Pretty disappointed as I have warranty Craftsman and Stanley tools and never paid shipping to me.
That's very good comparison. I am already using the Knipex Twingrip. It is in my daily work bag. Recently, i also thought of buying the Vamplier. I think i stick with my Twingrip now.
I pronounce knipex like you would knife 🗡 cause you wouldn't open your packages with a kanife would you. And also there is such a plier called LONG NOSE cause not every plier that looks like these in the video are called needle nose. Besides needle nose pliers don't have side cutters I have Klein version of these pliers and they say on the package LONG NOSE PLIERS. I HAVE SOME needle nose pliers and are skinny and slimmer than these and don't have side cutters. Sorry to burst peoples bubble if you buy pliers like these and it says long nose pliers then don't call or confuse them and call them needle nose pliers cause there is such a tool as LONG NOSE PLIERS TOO (with all respect).
Bragging rights should not extend to RU-vid, especially when there is nothing to brag about. You collect things. I get it. But this is not a "how-to" video, it is more, "Please I need attention. Come see what I have in my garage!" Click-bait material; nothing more.
