great video!! thank you.. soooo i agree with you bro, my matco ratchets are the best..My locking head 3/8 ratchet is my fav, along with my short 3/8 flex head matco. i do have snap on ratchets, and the one i used to use alot was my bent handled flex head 3/8 drive ratchet. when you go to break a stubborn bolt loose with the snappy ratchet beware that when that bolt finally lets loose, for some strange reason, the snap on ratchet reverses to the tighten position or to a neutral position ,and then you have to reset the lever back to the loosen position to continue loosening that fastener... i hear snappys finally curing this issue after all these years.... cheers guys

Clay, where I live in Canada I finally found out that we do have 1 Matco dealer. So I called him last week about getting a Blue ratchet and he refuses to sell to me because He told me because I am not a business or the fact that I do not work for a huge company he will not sell to me. I told him it will be a cash sale and I would meet him anywhere in the city I live in but he says nope. So I told him he must have enough money to turn away a couple hundred dollar sale.

@lordrayden3045 3 года назад

Yes..... up north were laughing about that But here’s a funny story, being from Illinois I’m used to this type of mess, but when I was going to college in Arkansas (Fayetteville) I remember getting an email saying the campus was closing at 4pm because IT MIGHT SNOW. ...... IT MIGHT SNOW.

@lordrayden3045 3 года назад

But I will say that lots of states like there, don’t have the infrastructure to deal with thst, or have the road salt to deal with it. Also if you go south starting in Kentucky or so, EVERY BRIDGE has a sign saying “bridges will ice before roads” or something like that. Go further north you don’t see those signs because “yeah...... no shit, we deal with it ever winter”. But driving to Florida twice a year, and Fayetteville for grad school it’s something I picked up on

I live in Northern Tennessee right on the Kentucky line. To get to work I have to drive about 12 miles through back roads to get to the interstate. I drive an 03 Dodge dakota. Manual. Little bitty 2 wheel drive that needs new back tires. Friday was my first day back at work and some of the roads here are still ice rinks. There is one area where I have to go down a hill, over a bridge, and then back up another hill. Needless to say, I lost traction going down the hill, had to ditch the truck into a ditch right off the road to keep from going into the stream, and then wait. I called some other people and they were on their way but it would've taken them forever. And they also might've gotten stuck. Then by a miracle a 4 wheel drive Diesel (with tire chains!) Came down the hill. Robertson County water company checking to see if there was a broken water main. They ended up not only pulling me out but also giving me a tow with a strap up the icy hill and then over 2 miles to the next road that was clear.
