Those Snap-On Swedish pipe wrenches are made by Bahco either in here in Spain (if it is Bahco) or Argentina (the Snap-On ones I believe), maybe you can get them through one of the european Amazon if you don't want to go the Snap-On route. They're called Bahco 14x depending on the model.
Love seeing new content! You give great advice for the new guys trying to get into the game!
I’ve had excellent luck with the Capri dead blow hammer bought off Amazon haven’t destroyed yet ! Thanks for sharing 👍
I guess I am lucky, got a good Snap On truck up here in WA state. I had them rebuild my 1/2" ratchet even though it wasn't broken, the mechanism was rough. I didn't think he would rebuild it, but he did.
I got the 1/2 gear wrench set. No complaints from me. I also got the stubby sockets from Astro , I believe on Amazon. Standard for work and a metric set for home. They are real handy.
Sunex makes these drive line sockets, they’ve come in handy a few times especially the 5/8s socket I use that for starters and it’s the best socket I’ve found for that purpose.
Those snap on pliers are made by bahco for snap on and you can get them on Amazon cheap
Great to see another tool video 😁
I like my Gearwrench and honestly, haven't had an issue, I warranty as often as I used to the box truck brands . Good selection dude
I feel your pain, brother! Our Snap On Rep sucks too! Down here in South Texas.
Great video. I have the Mac ratchet in 3/8 and 1/4 and they both perform great. Not the strongest or fastest on the market but they’re very versatile given the length
Finally a new video
found you not to long ago love the videos man
Enjoyed the vid. I have a wire stripper identical to that from Harbor Freight and I also love it. One slight complaint though is that the adjustment dial doesn't seem to do anything.
Sunex has amazing socket sets for fairly cheap

Awesome video man
My employer has the mac 3/8 electric ratchets. The tool is not bad but the battery is always in the way in a tight spot and I work on over the road trucks so I can't imagine trying to use it in an automotive shop.
You should check out the pipe wrenches from Knipex or Wiha, if you dislike your Snappy guy and don't want to buy the PWZs. They are the same design, and those Germans sure know how to make a well made tool.
Get a 1/4 to 3\8 adapter for the 1/4 in spinner ratchet and keep it with it you will not regret it
Wooohooo FIRST time to hit the LIKE BUTTON 😂😆😁 and comment Very nicely done sir 👍 enjoyed the video Thanks Rodney

That sucks that you cant record at work. You clearly know what youre doing youtube wise, and that can only be a plus for any shop.
It's difficult to understand why some shops don't want videos shot there. I mean, it's a free ad for the shop distributed globally on a regular basis. A win-win.

Hey you should swap out that Magnet. I have the same one and like you I'm famous for dropping tools, mine picked up a ratchet with a 2-3/8" socket out of an engine compartment of a 325 so I know yours is defective. Also when I got mine I was testing it and it would lift a 6 ton jack stand with a plate welded on the bottom.
Cool video! Crazy they won’t let you do videos at work.
I very much appreciate the video. Sometimes I wonder if my dealer is just effing our eyes out with new safety protocol. Looks like it's widespread.

Can you elaborate on the snap-on dealer not being cool? I think I've just been lucky to have good or at least decent dealers over the years. I've never had a single warranty issue or anything like that. In fact, my dealer has always gone above and beyond for warranty stuff.
I know the Mac and Dewalt are the exact same, battery's are interchangeable and everything, but I get why your buying the Mac, its easier to bring it to the truck just outside the shop then to home depot or wherever the hell
I missed out on that long reach pliers deal because you can't buy it online, and I'm an hour away from the closed MAC route. :(

Bahco makes the snap on pipe wrench.I can’t recall if they’re a subsidiary of snap on or just straight rebranded, nor do I know about warranty. Badass pliers though, glad to see a new video
