I love my knipex tools, they actually make a shirt with the pronunciation of them (kuh-nip-x)

Thanks for the insight. Cool to see what you enjoy the most!

i have been a wheel repair & upfitting tech for 10 years but lately i decided to expand my skillset and take some automotive courses and become an automotive tech & your channel is pretty cool to watch. i know perhaps body would be a more consistent path but honestly i wanna get really really wrenchin lol thanks for the cool vids.

HF Earthquake pneumatic tools have been excellent for me for the last 20 years as a mechanic. the Chief air hammers are awesome. a pressure washer and a leaf blower make a world of difference. Nicer to work on a clean surface. I stick to air tools over battery tools. Many of my air tools are well over 20 years old and still work. No need to get a battery with air.

Any chance you could zoom in on the tools a little bit? Video idea; can you show any tools you've made or modified, and demonstrate what they're for or how they work.

That’s a phenomenal idea! I love seeing all the “custom” tools mechanics make to get the job done.

"It's a DeWalt 12V and they make like 3 tools for that line" haha, yep. I have mostly DeWalt 20V but went MIlwaukee when I got a 12V ratchet because I wasn't already in a 12V ecosystem and they offer a lot more compatible tools.

100% agree on the 1/4 longneck ratchet. When my brother quit wrenching he gifted me his 14.4 1/4, 3/8 impacts and 1/4 longneck. Didn’t think id use it that much but can’t imagine doing some of the jobs without it now. Idk if I’d have a problem going to Milwaukee on the impacts but that ratchet would be hard to give up. I let the smoke out of it the other day so have been debating wether to get it rebuilt/ buy another or get a Milwaukee one.

Mountain wrenches best bang for the buck. I use then everday.

Love the vids man!

Appreciate it!

I've busted a few of the DeWalt batteries and used johnny weld and super glue to fix it with great success. Great stuff for plastic repair.

I agree, great tools!!

Bummer about his 5amp ☹️ He should have 0 problem getting that replaced under warranty. Those batteries are pricey

Mac and dewalt are the exact same impact drivers-they’re both owned by the Stanley black and decker co.

I was talking about an old Matco 3/8 impact wrench I had. Night and day difference between that piece of junk and this gun haha

I just use the Sunex swivel/universal adapters. Much cheaper than full size swivel sets.

VIM tools makes a swivel socket set that are spring loaded so you don't have floppy sockets with o rings. VIM makes awesome stuff i love their magnetic socket rails i highly recommend you try one of those out too and make a review if you can! thanks for the video

Nice vid! Keep it up

I have the tekton double box end ratcheting wrenches and the 6 point is stout, and they're on sale before there gone too they're discontinuing the 6 point ratcheting due to sourcing issues and they'll move back to 12 point or spline drive on their next run

I like ur vids keep it up. Couple Cid ideas, how you got started as a mechanic, did you go to school, wht some advice for new mechanics getting into the trade.6

Good video waiting for a toolbox tour lol

My 5ah battery case cracked pretty bad too.

That dewalt impact looks good, do u still have ur milwaukee stuff? If u got the dewalt at HD or Lowes u can take the whole kit back and they will exchange the whole thing. HD's return policy is crazy simple. Good video bro🤙🏾

Yeah still got my milwaukee impact driver and drill. Gonna have to return that kit for sure then

Good vid. - I got my TwinGrip pair yesterday, and my LN46ACF's arrive today :). I have the Icon versions of the Mountain wrenches, and they're extremely handy.

Is there a big size difference in the 1/4 ratchet vs 3/8( electric)

@reallyreallywrenching

8 ай бұрын

3/8s head and body of the ratchet are a good chunk thicker than the 1/4. wouldn’t recommend the 3/8 brushless snap on one, got it a couple months ago and have been pretty disappointed. finding myself grabbing for the 1/4 over it in most cases

Try the Astro nano universal sockets or go Tekton/Capri. Really worth the money. If you go gearwrench, drive to Harbor Freight by the Pittsburgh, same factory. Seen a socket double stamped gearwrench/Pittsburgh. Gearwrench says they are investigating. Yeah, haha, caught ya.

At least the double stamped Icon said Blue power which is Cornwell. But Pittsburgh n Gearwrench, that's a joke but very real.

Man I don’t know how you work in a space that tight pulling engines etc.

yeah it’s not too fun lol. i usually do a test run with the cherry picker before i pull anything off just to make sure i racked it right

Get the Milwaukee mid torque 3/8. I swear

Keep the videos coming. Your getting better

I don’t have the money for a snap on cordless ratchet and I didn’t wanna pay for a Milwaukee, so I went with a Hyper Tough from Walmart lol. Nothing wrong with it, I got the normal one and it’s comparable to the Milwaukee fast speed small one only a good bit slower. I like the speed of the Milwaukee and all but it isn’t worth three times the price for what I wanted

Aren't mountain wrenches a 2 year warranty?

@themessygarage

9 ай бұрын

My understanding is it's Lifetime, but they're a PITA to deal with and often takes a while to replace. I've seen "Lifetime warranty does not cover abuse." posted with their warranty statement, which I get, but that alone was enough to get an Icon set instead when a 20% or 30% coupon popped up.

Luckily pretty much all the tool truck guys around me will warranty them out with no real hassle. I’ll have to look into the warranty from Amazon, might make the difference between me recommending mountain/icon/carlyle

@@reallyreallywrenching Carlye, like Icon, uses the same factory as Mountain, but they are normally REALLY fond of them - over $400 for the metric set (CHT RWLBFL5M). At the moment they're on 'monthly special' for $195 though... No idea how NAPA handles the warranty for stuff like this.

Good video sucks about the bigger batter hopefully it was just one bad one.

Can I get this in Spanish?

I think maybe the internet KZreadrs lied to you. I had that DeWalt 12v think I still got it at home and also bought the 12v Mac Tools version of the DeWalt new impact driver. Oh no, those 12v nothing like 20v version. Trades that little bitch for the 20v Mac. The Mac and DeWalt 12v work good on the Mac ratchet, but it doesn’t even compare to the Milwaukee m12 on an impact driver. I don’t care what those KZreadrs claim, the 12v don’t have the beans of a 20v! They not even good as the Surge much less the regular m12. Except for the Mac Tools 12v ratchet, 12v DeWalt stuff sucks! Your first clue on those videos that show 12v having more power or torque than what DeWalt rated the tool. They lied to you bud.
