NIFTY TOOLS OF THE WEEK - SPECIALTY TOOLS UNDER $200 

That lisle kit is probably the best one out there. I have the hose clamp tool and really like it. Good selection of tools in this one.

Nice video @rustbeltmechanic some sweet tools

Good video mate. Watching tool videos is keeping me through the lock down here in the UK. And your right. The way techs have rallied round has been good. Few of us been called out to fix drs/nurses cars and the lads haven't thought twice about it. Makes me proud to say I work with them and work in the trade. Don think some techs get enough credit for what they do. Stay safe man 👍 keep the vids coming.

I have the 3/8 Gearwrench X-Core and I love that set! I want to pick up that 1/2 set now! I just got the 1/2 metric impact socket set Alsos from GW its shallow and deep for under 120$ now that was a great buy 9-30mm -25 -28 and -29 been beating the hell out of them work great. I have a bunch of GW stuff they make great tools! I am so Glad to still be working through this Scamdemic! Auto shop owners and employees are the unsung Heroes during this thing because the health care workers wouldn’t be getting from point A and B without us! Also JRC54 Justin Dow and CaptinRon are some of my very favorite Chanel’s they are good dudes! As well as Rustbelt! I always miss the damn live steams! Be well good video

Trans fluid after getting motor hot. Never ever broke one.

There is a revised tool set from lisle or that includes a tool if the top porcelain piece breaks. There's been three revisions on that tool, you can tell which one you have by looking at the main threaded piece it will have up to three rings around it.

Yep. I discovered the impact on the 3V plugs while at Ford. Best way to do it

Great video To all the techs out there keep your head up and your tool clean BE SAFE. I want to see xcore in action most of my sockets are gearwrench and they work great. 😷😷😷

Cool vid! I’m going to have to pick up that 1/2 socket set bad ass!

Good video. Step drills are great for sheet metal round holes and no grabbing or chattering. Donot work on fords so almost never have spark plug problems. Want to see the video in universal impact sockets.

Nice review look forward to the review and comparisons.

I do a fuel system cleaning before, and impact them out while the engine is warm

Try the DeWalt step bits. They'll even drill stainless steel.

Good to see you back at the dealership 👨‍🔧🧰👍

Looking forward for that 1/2 drive swivel impact socket video!!!

Man can’t wait for the impact swivel test. But I am gonna say those gearwrench pinless sockets gets so loose it gets kinda scary looks like they gonna go flying off

Lisle tools is johnny on the spot warranty wise.I had a defective tap socket brand new,emailed them and they sent me a new one hassle free

Just seen the price for the swivel sockets, you can buy almost 4 sets for the Snap on set!!! I pieced together what I needed from Snap On and most were $50 to $75 a piece... Great find!!

merry tool pliers electrical connection remover might be better than Matco pliers or might be a great addition to the matco ones. problem being is merry tools are out in Japan however I have found them on eBay as well. thanks for your tips

I just got those x cores from Napa, their set is 12 to 24 for 180

I use same method for removing ford 3 valve spark plugs. Never had to use a tool.

Honestly, just get the harbor freight step bits. I have them, and they work great, and you can get like all 5 of them for like $20

Those 2 button clamps are used on Volvo coolant lines a lot. First one I ever did I changed a transmission cooler, had to unthread the actual fittings to get it off because the clamp wouldn't come off with my fingers. Took me probably 6 hours to do. The next one my dad got the Mac pliers for those, they aren't the cable kind just regular pliers, I then did it in like 3 hours, then the next week I bought those same pliers off the Mac truck, probably the best thing i've bought from him so far.

Ford triton 3 valve engines spark plugs are a pain in the ass my experience the best tool for the money is the Lisle kit your showing 👌 also like the otc kit as well kyle @rustbeltmechanic

Got an SK brand (France) Hose clamp remover similar to that for less than $5. Pawnshop box special. Sitting on the bottom lol. $20 for the whole box. Lots of goodies other than that one.

The matco usa made pinless swivel impacts are much better and shorter in 3/8 size range aswell how do I know I have both gearwrench xcore and matco usa versions and the gearwrench moosh and start to bind over time where the Marcos don't deform as much or as quick

Agree with your choices, but not your brands. For $103, I can buy 7 (seven) Warrior brand 3 piece sets at HF. Mine have lasted 5 years.

I do the same process for the 5.4 always run them real hot throw some penetrating fluid and use my 3/8 impact

Napa real deals has those gearwrench pinless swivel impact socket sets on sale

Laser tools was the first tool company to sell those quick disconnect pliers in 2019, Laser Tools # 7407 blue handle and Sealey tools # VS551 sells them in the red handle now Matco is rebranded Lisle Tools # 35070 black handle. $65.00 on tooltopia website.

There's an exception to almost every rule...

As always, you da man!,

IS SP Tools offering a lifetime warranty on the step bits?

Ford 3V *Vietnam flashbacks*

👍🏼

I thought the whole point of step bits was that exact size didn't matter...why does sae vs metric matter?

My bank account says Gearwrench it is 🤣👌

Spark plugs? What is a spark plug?

Thanks for sharing!!! The MATCO pliers are actually Lisle 35070. Save more coin by buying the Lisle version. I hate to say it but the Gearwrench X Core impact swivel impact sockets are a poor copy of MATCO's pinless design. The X portion tends to peen with heavy use and they're taller than MATCOs. I've had good luck with ASTRO's pinless set that runs 12-19, 21, 22, & 24mm an 11 piece set that runs about $90 on Amazon. Hopefully, you'll include the ASTRO set in your upcoming test videos. Stay healthy!!

Lifetime warranty on the handles but I’m sure not that cable that will eventually stretch out & break?🤔

It’s a good thing that ford no longer sells two piece plugs I work on piles of 5.4s I’m a self proclaimed guru of the 5.4 I’ve never broken one ever. Also shouldn’t use the motor craft plugs anyway they end up being duds soon after they get changed. 1 by 1, E3s are the answer. They’re all 1 piece designs now but still E3s are cheap and last
