Please make a video on the Metric PROFESSIONAL DOUBLE BOX FLEX RATCHETING WRENCH! THANK YOU.

You nailed it with the warranty. Being able to walk into a store and get a replacement goes a long way with me. As you’ve said, taking the place of Sears in that regard. Thanks for the content.

Thank you for sharing this info. You got a beautiful collection going ....I love Harbor Freight. I am a DIYER..... Looking forward to your next video

Very well expressed point on using tools professionally and why we spend so much on them.

I like the trays they give you with their wrenches, socket, and screwdriver sets. It’s a nice touch.

Good video. Glad you like Icon! I have many brands mechanics tools even snap on ratchets and sockets. Carlyle craftsman gearwrench crescent SK etc. I have most all the Icon ratchets and all socket sets. I love opening my tool chest drawers and seeing everything organized. Very very good on HF and the Icon engineers for thinking to give us very decent trays for our tools! Very good tools!!

I got the screwdriver set the first day they came out and I've been using them daily. I can honestly say they are awesome!

I only use them for interior work, they are my clean set because they look cool and grip pretty darn good.

love em.....great info on new stuff

Have everything there except the 1/2 metric swivel and the SAE double box end. Lol. Plus all the chrome sockets and the other two torque wrenches and more. Everyone saying Icon sucks and I’m over here enjoying the heck out of them, throwing my money at the stuff I need. Been using their sets hard for the past few months. Only complaint is that they’ve advertised the flare nut wrenches but not released it. Also saw a tag for nut driver set... hopefully they’ll be as good as the screwdrivers... good video man!

I can't wait to see your review on the flex head wrenches. I'm looking to buy my first set of tools in over a decade and they look nice.

Interested in hearing about the DBE ratcheting wrenches. They look sweet. Also interested in the swivel impact sockets. I did get the flex head torque wrench and it's been a joy to use. Like you, I like the convenience of a local store.

I checked ‘em out recently but I am diggin what tekton has been doing more. I like your videos my dude keep it up!

I've been thinking about the flex wrenches. Would love to see more on those.

I'm most interested in the ICON "mountain" wrenches, these would come in handy.

5:35... I do really like the long double Box ends and the 0° offset for breaking fasteners is awesome to me

I love those double box end ratcheting wrenches! I use them everyday, professionally (Ford Tech).

Im really interested on a review for Double box flex ratcheting wrenches

Wish they would start selling singles of some of these items.

I agree. It's scary to thinking about loosing one socket out of a complete set. I hate mismatched stuff. I have every short chrome socket standard and metric that they make. Now gotta start buying the deeps.

To reinforce the blow mold you can add expanding foam beneath either filled or pick where you want it reinforced.

I too just bought them long double box ratcheting wrench set

As much as I like visiting Harbor Freight stores, I have to admit that Tekton has won over my business as far as sockets and wrenches go.

I like the way the shop/garage is looking, great work. The ICON tools look great. Hopefully HF can provide the pro's an option other than the tool truck. Cheers

Thanks Again Brian!

Great haul! That was impressive. I bet it was a ton of fun buying all that stuff untill you had to pay for it. Lol!!! I would definitely rather purchase something of quality instead of junk. The extra few dollars you spend are well worth it to me.

The Double Box end flexible reversible ratcheting wrench set I am interested in, if they will warranty them out in the stores forever. I could use a replacement to my EZ-Red ad Mountains that are failing and cobbled together.

Would LOVE to see the swivel adapters. I have a shallow Cornwell swivel set in both metric and SAE, and I’d rather not buy a deep set.

I would really like the see how good the wobble impact hold up I have had my eyes on them just been waiting for a decent review on them

I just picked up some 1/2 deep impact sockets if they are half as good as my mac precision torque shallows ill be happy

Nice video man and what a good coupon also. Can you do a review of the swivel impact sockets 3/8 and 1/2, i want to know if they really do hold up to abuse. Thinking of buying that set but not sure about the strength. Thanks

I wanna see the swivel sockets. Im having a hell of a time deciding to buy them or not.

I have the screw drivers, stubby metric reversible ratcheting wrenches ( Damm long name), a swivel 3/8 ratchet, the metric crows feet (haven't use them), and I bought and returned the 3/8 metric impact swivel sockets... They weren't well made so I returned them, and got the Pittsburgh. And so far so good with my icon I currently own, The chrome gets scratched really quick but I mean... In a professional environment what doesn't gets scratched xD, even I get scratched fo crying out loud. I think it's cool to fill the ICON box with the ICON tools

I love all of my Icon tools. The only thing I haven't liked is the flex head ratchets and that's due to them not locking so it's purely preference.

Man you’re getting a lot of Icon. Can you do a tour of the box showing all of the Icon you own? I’d like to see it all!

I’d kill to see those ratcheting wrenches tested out and reviewed

Would like to see a review of the ratcheting stubby wrenches if possible. Been going back on forth on either the Icons or the Tektons.

I'm very interested in all ratcheting long wrenches because I want to invest in some but I need to know how they are longevity and how they hold up in the weekend warrior situation lol either i will go with icon or gearwrench after your review and keep up the awesome vids ty ty :)

They are okay but honestly I like the Pittsburgh impact sockets but they skip sizes so if that is a problem and are dead set on purchasing a set from harbor freight then I dont see anything majorly wrong with them to tell you not to get them. As far as a comparison between them and Milwaukee I cant say because I havent used Milwaukee impact sockets buddy

Are the wobble sockets pinless?

Still no locking 3/8th locking flex head ratchet from icon

Icon need to come out with 6 points and 90 tooth ratchet wrenches, then I am sold

I know this is an older video but after using the icon tools over time. What do you think now.

Those are some professional camera shots of those harbor freight tools. Looking at icon tools in store they don't look like they're worth much. The chrome and markings on the combo wrenches that I saw looked as bad as Pittsburgh. I guess I was just expecting a lot more with all the hype.

I’d buy the Astro pinless from amazon for less than the icon

1200$ for all of that or 1200$ for a snap on 13 pc set of 1/2" deep freedom and dependent sizes and if you give the guy on the truck a handy he might include the ratchet for that 1200$.

Wish we had icon in uk

One day I hope I can afford to get the icon tools. I got the Pittsburgh tools an I like.them

I'm not a fan of the screwdrivers. You like the SnapOn screwdrivers, so it makes sense that you like these. The handles are very similar. I wish Harbor Freight wouldve done at least detented flex head ratchet heads. I'm not at all a fan of the full "floating" head. I want soo bad a set of zero offset wrenches. But at 180? The price of some of this stuff, is just not right. Icon and Harbor Freight kinda lost me on some of this Icon stuff. Some of it I still have interest in, but not all. Im really liking Tekton.

Did you buy all these or did they send you them for free?

Does the Icon torque wrench really have a lifetime warranty? Several years ago I bought the most expensive Craftsman torque wrench they made at that time. It broke the first time I used it. I tried to return it but was told torque wrenches only had a 90 day warranty. They also didn't go by when I bought it but the serial number on the wrench. The warranty expired while it was sitting on the store shelf. I figured I ran into an A-hole clerk mostly but after other experiences there I stopped buying Craftsman tools. That's a big reason why I was looking forward to Icon tools. Hopefully decent quality tools for decent prices.

Chuck S even the Pittsburgh torque wrenches have a lifetime warranty.

Where do i find that coupon? And will they honor it if i bought a bunch of tools like 10 days ago? I tried using a similar coupon and they told me its only good for one item. I spend 1600 dollars. I only went to icon cause of the 20% coupon which in the end didnt save me any money and the woman working was condescending to me. So i still bought everything cause she was acting like i couldnt afford the tools.

It depends on how much you are wanting to use it honestly and what type. I like the ICON torque wrench if you plan on using it more than a few times. If you just need it once or twice just get the Pittsburgh. If you want digital then I would look gearwrench. If you have access to a tool truck and the money I would get snap on mac or matco digital torque wrench honestly.

Yes. I agree. In no way am I stuck on hft, several companies do this. Fir the price of tool trucks they are not as convenient as used to be. No I just snap a pic and send it and they amazon me the tool ASAP. The tool truck comes by weekly. If hft or hike Depot etc is on your daily route I can warranty out that tool right then.

With all the money HF splurged on marketing the ICON tool line and making their tools look as close to Snap-on as possible and from what has been mentioned by others who have bought and used them everyday, I would reckon the compatibility of the ICON tools would be more in line with Tekton or even Carlyle. I do like the ICON 1/2" breaker bar, though. It has held up well even on removing penetrant-soaked rusted brake caliper bolts. The quality for the price doesn't seem to stand up as well to the benchmark HF wants to use. I believe HF needs to lower the prices on the ICON tool line like they did on the tool cabinets.

30 dollars for a ratchet is pretty cheap already. They have some ICON tools that I do consider to be pretty expensive but for the most part they are priced competitively with gearwrench, tekton, and others. The looking like snap on thing is i think to allow guys who cant afford snap on or have a tool truck available to feel like they have tool truck tools. Are they as good as snap on? No but they are a quarter of the price so value wise maybe we will see.

When it comes to the Taiwan made tools just go for whatever is cheapest because quality will be the same since all this stuff can be found rebranded elsewhere.

I'm a professional diesel mechanic and these tools did not hold up for me too..everytime used them broke them on a piece of equipment I was working on... bought snap in from now on and held great and did not break everytime too.

I still have no ICON products, so I cannot comment on those who say they are good or bad. I do however think the prices are high. I understand the concept of a quality tool, but I don't think ICON fits that at the level of the prices. For one, I do not have a local HF, so I need to travel a good distance vs other brands like Tekton, Gearwrench, DeWALT, Craftsman, etc where I can handle warranty and service issues on the phone or via email. I would not be opposed to trying one out, but as I am restricted to buying from them direct for any type of warranty (proof of purchase), I will pass.
