Just looked on the snap on site, that 90 screw gun has this description " Used for dash work, stripped fasteners and removing/installing panels ." Probably the target buyer is an interior or electrical guy, who can't fit a normal drill gun head in some area under the dash.
can confirm, not strictly an aircraft mechanic, but a hands-on aerospace engineer (i know, we're rare). self locking floating nut plates get boring quick using ratchets, and i have stuff to do.
Yup he needs to find aircraft mechanics. Civilian techs its about power tools and doing it quick and right. Government techs use hand tools and waste time.
Milwaukee 1/2" high torque impact is unbeatable. My air hose stays on the reel where it belongs. The Milwaukee batteries can easily last you a week without charging.
I would agree with you. Milwaukee has the best power tools but for hand tools I think snap on is the best but I do happen to get a 50% discount on the tools which makes it much more affordable
Man you guys had me dying couldn't eat dinner watching you guys talking about selling the tools in inch pounds 22,000 inch pounds lol or 840 inch pounds hahaha omg I had to take a break from eating so food didn't get caught going down
I’m freshly starting out as a mechanic and these videos have showed me so much tools I didn’t know about! Thank you. just got my gun metal gray ct761. Love the tool truck videos keep me coming especially the snap on Friday’s lol 👍🏻
The screw drivers are used in body shops. The ratchets produce too much torque and can strip out a lot of smaller screws. Plus, they spin faster than the ratchet. Also, with the ratchet, you have to reach up and change the direction with the piece on the head. With the screw driver it is easier/faster to reverse the direction.
@@sexyworm1000 , They can. I mean, I have used a cordless ratchet, or even a pneumatic on some screws, but I wouldn't do it on all of them. I mostly use them to spin, after I have started the screw if it is really tight or corroded.
10:08, I do auto glass replacement for a living and had no idea snap on made tools for auto glass lol. The previous comment is correct: that tool is used to install a locking strip on gasket set windshields.
Clay you are going to have to get together with Hamilton, Micheal, Mac Daddy and Joe and design a t-shirt with each one of them for your Diesel Medic brand shirt. Love the old stories you guys joke about. Great stuff.
Always enjoy the humor of Clay and Hamilton. Good old boys. I am still not a complete battery convert yet. Batteries just don't seem to last long enough. Thanks for the video's.
Sometimes yes and sometimes its the sound of a shop loosing its bum because there are too many of them not torquing the fasteners afterwards and it coming back again
The 90 degree screw gun is great for doing dash work and things like taking fender Wells off around tires. If you use a 1/4 inch battery ratchet you will strip screws and brake plastic panels. I usually adjust the clutch down to prevent over tightening. I use the regular Snap-on screw gun where I can but the 90 degree definitely has its place. I use that terminal tool all the time. I prefer it to the individual tools.
That terminal release tool was not designed by Snap On I've had one for over 25 years that I bought at an auto parts store very good to have especially for under $10.
Tip for Hamilton for future. Tell him to use a hook pick next time he decides to load his ceiling loops. Use the hook to grab the strap and pull down. May save his fingers.
I am in love with my air tools. Aside from my 3/8 cordless my air tools are still a daily use for me. The 1/2 stuff is a little too heavy to use day in/day out vs it’s pneumatic counterpart. Air drills are one of the tools I can’t imagine living without. Can’t imagine swapping batteries constantly on those days I’m drilling for an 8 hour day.
My Milwaukee 3/8 impact gets used all day long and lasts me a week atleast. I’d say it gets atleast 4 hours of use a day. You definitely wouldn’t be swapping batteries as much as you think man.
@@midweststreetleagueracing89 impact drilling equals broken drill bits and a impact tool is not direct drive like a drill u can't stall a impact under load drills eat battery's cause a drill is like a manual trans and an impact is a automatic trans that's why you can't start an engine with a impact but you can start one with a drill
You do realize some have bolts right. Not all have studs and nuts. Many foreign cars have threaded holes in the hub and a bolt that runs through the rim into it right ?
Koon Trucking I am English and love your channel just joking. It’s funny how we do the same job and use different terms. I look forwards to Snap on Fridays every week. Please keep them coming 👍
10:38 I bought all three. red,blue and gray. Only reason I can say they don’t sell that much because when your co workers find out you got some they just depend on you to let them borrow it. I learned the hard way lol
The adjustable clutch would be needed for small screws in instrumentation / electronics. I've seen the techs that repair CNC machines use that type of tool.
The point of the screwdrivers is that they are low torque. Lots of applications where you want the control of a cordless screwdriver over using a cordless ratchet.
You’re not wrong about air tools, Clay. I have a full line of cordless and air, and I find myself reaching for air more often than not. I’m really anticipating the replacement for the MG325, a proper full-length 3/8 composite air impact wrench. I’ll snatch it up. I love my PT850 1/2.
I actually have that terminal tool except mines lisle but is identical. I’ve got it in one of my quick grab electrical bags and it works pretty good!! I’ve took a many of weatherpack terminals apart with it Tip for any of those wipes: Pop the top off and put some water on um. Works way better some of these wipes are barely wet
When the job is done the tools must be cleaned before they go back in the box no ifs about it. Iam with you can't have stuff stacked up. Keep up the great job 🔧🔧🔧🔧
That glass gasket tool is to put the locking cord in the middle of the gasket. To spread it and lock it in but I have not seen one like that except in equipment a windows in a long time
The screw gun is good for not overtorquing your screws while installing them. The ratchet will not provide proper install torque. I use a 90 deg adapter on my 12v mini screw gun. Aircraft mechanic here.
I actually have that terminal tool, and use it quite often. The light he showed I actually have the same light, and it's still in the box just like his!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
All Tools Of Mine Are Cleaned Or At Least Wiped Off Before Getting Put Up, Even If They Aren't Dirty, It's A Great Habit To Stick With. Also With Milwaukee Tools, I've Always Used 6.0 And Up But Mainly 9.0 And 12.0 Amp Batteries With Any Of The Fuel M18 Tools But Air Tools Are Still The Best Without A Doubt!!!
I use that terminal tool pretty often, but I work on ambulances... so there’s that. There are other terminal tools lisle makes for Chevy and Ford connectors. Those come in handy.
Those electric screwdrivers are probably super handy in aviation. I drive hundreds of machine screws a week in and out of drag retaining inserts, or with lock-nuts behind them. They are typically supposed to be tightened to around 20 in lbs, so 65 would be plenty while still not so powerful as to risk damage. That said, most guys I know just use a regular drill with the chuck dialed town to setting 3-5.
I love air tools. I have a 3/8 drive mac impact like the older metal style ones and I swear that thing sounds so good. I think because it’s smaller it’s more high pitched of a sound but literally even though it’s not always practical I use that thing any time I can
I'm a field service mechanic for heavy equipment... My electric stuff has not let me down. Sometimes a engine mount compressor and 150psi doesn't cut it
Air has its place. Electric does too. I use my high torque m18 but I also use my far72a air ratchet alot. I also have a stubby air impact and a m18 midtorque. They make the same power roughly but I can't use the air impact in the parking lot. So I have both
Yeah those string loops we call em peg boards i used to string those by hand when i started working at a firm in the uk building these snap on trucks i remember one time spending a whole month 8 hours a day and i had a whole big pile of these string boards stacked up and an electrician reversed his car into the stack breaking most of them and had to do it all over again
Finding out it is not just tools not being shipped out by UPS on time.It is classic car parts,chainsaw and farm equipment parts are not coming in too.A cousin of mine works at a Case/IH dealer in the parts department,they are having a heck of a time getting parts for farm equipment,Husqvarna chainsaw parts and lawnmower parts delivered to them by UPS.Do like the high viz color Snap On has,got in a screwdriver set with that handle in this color today.My tools,I put them away after a job making it easier to find the tool to use for the next job.I use the tub o towels to clean my tools,love them.
Those terminal tools are a godsend when you’re the electrical guy in a big diesel mechanic shop.i had a big set with about 20+ different terminal tools and I used it daily. Very selective uses but useful nonetheless.
I like using my air tools, I'm in no hurry for the battery tools. All I have are a Milwaukee M12 hex driver and a 15 year old Black and Decker 18v drill, everything else is hand or air powered.
I’m a recycling equipment repair guy and I’m the only guy in the company who uses his person truck for field work. I’m kinda forced to use battery powered tools out and about while the other guys have air on their trucks. But when I’m at the shop I can finally use my pneumatic tools and it makes life so much easier. Only good side about that is my air tools look brand new cause of it
I know I am really late on this haha. Finally watching this. The electric screw drivers are highly used in aerospace and aeronautics industry where you have A LOT of fasteners that are sometimes very small, and you want to make sure that the torque is very low. Sitting there using a hand screw driver would SUCK! I use the Milwaukee M4 1/4in hex driver all day, everyday. Wish snap on would make one similar and better!
Another great video. Clay I also keep my tools clean. Working on fitness equipment I can't lay a greasy tool in the floor of a customer and have it leave a soiled spot, especially in a residence. As far as the bits and the battery ratchet, I bought a 3/8 drive socket with a #2 phillips at NAPA and I use my Milwaukee ratchet with it and it is great for screws. You have to be easy on plastic covers but it does a nice job.
I've got a knock set of those terminal "ninja star" tool. They have come in handy for 8 years. If you do allot of harness work on cars. Great for water pack connectors. Got mine at Harbor Freight.
A well organized toolbox is the best therapy for OCD, now I get it "0h yeah! Feeling giddy stepping on that truck, the tools all racked, strapped & dangling. " Ooowee! that air feels good" Yeah buddy.
The lead mechanic in my shop is the one that has half his toolbox on top of his toolbox. I’ve never seen him wipe any of them down since I’ve been there. Drives me batty, I can’t not clean mine and put them away.
I know not all phap off drivers are the same but i couldnt get warranty work done on time ever. Mostly see my stuff out for a month at the least. But my matco and cornwell guys were pretty quick.
Its not all about brute force. Those screw drivers are just that, for screws, and notice the different torque settings around the end. Plenty of screws need a light touch, something a lot of "men" lack.
Great job Clay! Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Sounds like Hamilton has got one powerful HVAC Unit mounted on top of that truck. , Be safe and stay cool.
I wish I could get the guy I work with to organize his tool box or atleast his roll cart cause it takes him longer than it should to find the right tool to do a job
You are not going to make any more with cordless tools. That is like saying a tool box makes you money when all it does is hold the tools that make you money.
@@makerstories4008 Not my shop, they charge us by the kilowatt. I can't even afford a toolbox so I store all my gear in multiple buckets scattered around the shop
i only usw my milwaukee 2767 to take off wheels. its fast and i don't have to worry about the airline, but to work on the car i use my 1/2" impact from mac. awp050 love the shape of that tool.
My snap on guy, I have snap on Thursday’s. He had one of the brushless CTs I can’t remember if it was 1/4 or 3/8s I bet he would still have it when I see him next. It was definitely different. Didn’t fell as torquey as my normal one... but could be different.
wonder if Hamilton will ship? I would def. get that light that has not sold for my Snap On collection!, another awesome video Clay! I look forward to every video! keep up the hard work!
