There is no link in the description for the tool box. You can say it all you want. If you don’t put it there it won’t be there.

in the 90's I was a diesel mechanic for Bobcat! One day I needed three angle hydraulic wrenches and the Snapon guy wanted $240.00. I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a whole set for $29.99. I still had them until a few months ago when I sold all my tools! I am 60 and can not work on anything anymore😔Too many years of being a heavy construction worker!

The snap on guy was always trying to sell me tools. So I ask do replace lost tools. He said no so I told him I will by the cheap stuff because even they have a lifetime warranty.

Snap- On is life time replacement or repair , Blue Point isn't. Yes they are expensive! I like Stanley, but got a lot of S-On, Mac and Matco

Know how you feel. I'm 63 and no longer can use my right hand properly. I only hope the young ones coming up in the heavy industries realise they are not invincible. I still get frustrated how machinery engineers still design equipment that you need to be a bloody contortionist to maintain.

Don’t think you had any confidence in Harbour Freight before you started. We have Princess Auto in Canada which I believe would be comparable. They have some really good tools for less than name brand. I stay away from power hand tools but they still have some very good tools at a lot less than the major brands.
great video,happy you have taken the time to film this, i realize that for you this is all repetitive work but for me i never get tired of watching you guys work, these installations might be similar but never the same, thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Watching you guys install the winch while testing the tools was why the channel is GREAT, drop checking an impact wrench should make Harbor Freight feel proud. But what really got me was when you said " We don't need no instructions", and you didn't. Great Stuff.

Years ago (as a motorcycle mechanic) I was installing an aftermarket clutch on a HD bike. The top thing in the box was a sealed plastic bag containing a folded sheaf of papers. Visible through the plastic was written "Caution, Instructions. DO NOT Read", printed in large red letters.

You guys are awesome. Love watching your show. It is almost a four star vaudeville act. I absolutely love it.
Another great video. If I was a buyer of equipment I would definitely add you guys as a two thumbs up. I have been around this type of work all my life and have never seen anyone service or do what you do. It was always, here it is. You buy it you own it lol. Never ever saw one dealership clean and paint their equipment. You guys go above and beyond. I really enjoy your videos. I like how you communicate with your employees and love the way your family is involved. Keep up the good work and videos. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi, can you tell Kevon to be more careful with my new tools!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😘😘
Very generous of you to give away so much of harbor freight tools for free. Thank you
Even Carlyle doesn't include 24 or 30 mm in their regular sets. I had to buy separate pieces to fill out Proto, Sunex , Snapon sets. Try finding a 30mm 15 degree offset hydraulic wrench. Proto makes one. Great videos.
Keep it up guys I want you guys to have as much fun at work as it looks like you do messing with each other
So far so good for this heavy test on those nice tools👊👍💪
Another very good film. Thank you. It always looks so easy, and I really could tell you have fitted those winches before. (It looked choreographed the way the shaft, and bolts were fitted by both of you.)
it’s a hit or miss with me on HF stuff….about 15 years ago I bought one of their heavy duty D handle 1/2” corded drill to mix dry wall mud, thin set and mortar on our basement finish project…I still have it today and I can’t kill it…it’s a total hoss! Other stuff I bought from HF were ok and some were abysmal
Also pulled wrenches on heavy equipment in the 90's. Bought a set of the large size wrenches and the 3/4" drive ratchet set. Served me well at a heck of a lot cheaper than Snap-On. Never cared for the set of Snap-On Wrenches I bought, just didn't like the feel of them. Probably get flack for this, but like my Craftsmen set feel much better from the 70's. Still have them. Every one has their favorites. Thanks for sharing.
Back in the 90's I worked on the railroad as a chainer quite often. I was the spool man many times for the crane operator.
Love watching you, Clint. You have to thank Dirt Perfect for me adding to your fans on KZread. Your knowledge on how this equipment goes together and learn something new every day Mike, grumbling about 850 having problems and you coming out and making it right shows what kind of person you are and it seems like you’ve become good friends with him. also, it looks like you picked up a friend and a customer in North Carolina with letsdig 18.
We bought one of those Hercules grease guns about a year ago to use in our logging and clearing operation and have been nothing but impressed with it. We abuse the crap out of it and have had zero problems other than priming it the first time. Ours has the big battery and will go through multiple sleeves of grease without a charge. Im talking 50+ tubes of grease. We've tried Lincoln and DeWalt and they don't even compare with the Hercules. Maybe we just got a good one, but so far, so good!
Love that we get to see you use the new tools for the first time!
We need good inexpensive tools & equipment, so we can build & repair anything that needs it in our world. And we really like all the gear we can get to be made in America. This is why I shop at Harbour Freight
This was very informative. The nest year will tell the story. A very fun way to get a consumer report.
Around 20 years ago the rule of thumb for Harbor freight electrical tools was "how many houses were you going to build?" If one, then Harbor Freight was great. More than one you might want to consider something else. Things are probably different now one way or another.
That was some darn good welding you did there Clint. I was an Ironworker certified welder before I went off to Coast Guard boot camp and I'm definitely impressed with those triple welds. Exactly how those mounts should have been installed. To many people would have only did one or two passes then wondered why they failed. As always, another interesting entertaining episode of a day in the shop life of C & C equipment. With young Sausage Fingers Kevin trying to destroy brand new Harbor Freight tools. Why were'nt you going to video this one. It's the kinda stuff I really like watching. Y'all did an outstanding job installing that whinch. It definitely was facinating watching how you did it.

All the best to you, Ronnie. I was Army but I've heard from solid sources who've been to Great Lakes and Cape May both that USCG boot is no joke. Stay safe and have fun in the Coasties!
A bit of great advice i received from my Uncle, a proffesional heavy equipment mechanic. He said to start out get some cheaper tools than Snapon or Mac. There are a few rools in the set's you use most.1/2, 9/16, 3/4, etc. When these wear out or get broken, just replace the few that need a better quality. I took his advice and still have most of my originals. The supposedly better quality Snapon or Mac also wore out and or broke. So I expect you will not have too many issues with your Harbor Freight tool box test. I will be very interested to see the final result in future videos.
I’ve bought a couple things from harbor freight and if they hadn’t been so cheap I would have been angry about it lol but that’s why I bought it I knew by the time I was done with the job it would destroy the high price tool just as much as the cheap ones 😂thanks for sharing
You guys are great. Having fun and getting it done.
Howdy Mr. C, Another great "some-assembly-required" video. Watching you & your gang is always enjoyable! Looking forward to the new military toy video! Stay safe. Jim
You know after a year these tools will be like new condition. Because Kevin will secretly return the defective tools behind Clints back and replace them when they break to prove the quality. 😊
Great work Clint and Kevin , no shortage of humour and laughs during your work day....... must be a great place to work !
I'll probably never find the video, but someone pointed out the company that makes a 2 or 3 ton floor jack for Snap On sells the exact same floor jack at Harbor Freight for less than half what Snap On charges. And I think the Icon ratchet has the same head and gears as the Snap On. There are a lot of tool brands out there and I would wager some of them get made at the same factory with a different name stamped on them. Its sort of like when you drive past a refinery and see a dozen different fuel brand trucks filling up at the same hose.
Another awesome video Clint
Howdy C&C
Great video! I always enjoy seeing the dozers get worked on!
kevin was so sad when the grease gun seemed defective! glad he got a good chuckle at the end there
You two guys need to get together with Mike and Arron holy cow that would be one hell of comedy action , having fun on the job makes the time and job go faster, All in all Job well done
GREAT SHOW
You can do whatever you want with the Harbor Freight Tools as long as Kevin still gets his paycheck on Friday... 😅😅 My mind’s eyes sees these tools becoming the “Friday Toolbox”.....😅
Love the work connection you and kevin have. Great to see the fun comraderie
Truly enjoy your videos! Owners, family, employees all get along. I enjoy working on things. I do not have tools like your gift box. Have a good one!
I’m curious to see a follow up testing the torture of the impacts verses the Milwaukee impacts. Watch Kevin, he seemed to have feelings for that Thunder Ratchet. 🤣🤣
Another fantastic video from C&C Equipment, thank you Clinton, Kevin, Mason, and guest appearance from Uncle Scot and the one and only Randy.
It will be great to see what survives your team's careful care of the tools. Interesting to see this attachment installed.
Good job once more Guys.
This is gonna be a year full of “did it break” and “earthquake”. I’m loving this it’s so funny. I hope you guys put these tools through the fullest. I can’t wait to see Kevin’s face when the first tool breaks lmao. Actually I can’t wait to see what will be the first tool that breaks and how it plays out lol.

Nice! The tractor looks great with a forestry package!
When Kevin knocked that impact wrench off the top of the Deere, I gasped, I didn't think you guys were really going to do that! LOL Great stuff Clint & Kevin, Thumbs up x ten!
You are so right about the winch cable!
you have a fantastic company and incredibly talented employees, and you, as the manager, are a talented and experienced mechanic and can be in the workshop and work with your workers. hope your son carries your qualities on when he takes over one day🤗 greetings from Sweden

Love the video, especially wit😮h the 2 of you working together! Thank you for sharing!
Great video, thanks for sharing the tool test 😀 I have snap-on, mack, facom and other expensive makes of tools, where needed! Also cheap stuff for the more "demanding " jobs. Wish we had Harbor freight over here in blighty 😢
Awesome video and awesome equipment! That’s kinda my dream set up. I really love the Icon stuff and Harbor Freight has come a long way!
Thank you👍👍👍👍
Good stuff!
Great video, I can't wait to see how the tools hold up to heavy equipment repairs.
Harbor freight is still my favorite store. I just know that none of it is worth anything but it sure fun looking.
My tools performed great. I hope you guys dont tear em up too bad. 😊😊
Nice going guys
I always use harbor freight, lowes,home depot,and tractor supply tools. I have a mix of tool brands I'm my one tool box for use on a quick jobs in my tool bags are home depot,lowes, harbor freight, and O'Reillys for travel jobs.
Instructions are just another man's opinion!! Great watching yall work together. One of my first real memories helping my Dad (Back when the earth was young), he said, "didn't you know I was going to need that 9/16 socket?" Yeah! "Well why didn't you have it waiting for me?" Never forgot that!
Tool man Taylor would be proud of you guys ,,,great video
I worked for tracker marine years ago, everything that we used that harbor freight carried was from there. Grizzly industrial was the next stop.
Kiven is very Blessed to have you as his Employer
Sweet !! You guys are awesome 👌 !! I'm not a mechanic, but I enjoy watching your videos !! And I always learn something new from it 👍 🤓 !!
Very impressive drop test
Clint from C + C equipment guys do a good job and knowledgeable and you and sausage fingers are a comedian and Uncle Scott also you should bring your dad back more often on the show he's funny also
THATS A NICE MACHINE. SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN WORK ING IT
Another good video guys 👍
I think they have good tools considering the price and lifetime warranty, although most end up disappearing before I can break them. You're going to definitely make someone's day a great day!
Great family run operation!
Thank you, Clint & Kevin.
That's awesome guys I'm just a shadetree mechanic so I love harbor freight lol God bless guys
Hercules! Hercules! You all are just too fun to watch! Great dozer work and winch!

Hobo freight tools have improved greatly over the years
I was just about to buy one of those grease guns. I'm going to wait and see if your replacement works or not
Thumbs up 👍 I at one time 25 years ago would work on air tool, hydraulic tools they have industrial, automotive, homeowners tools they have a deferent anvils that’s definitely deferent to the grade of tools 🛠️ within the warranty today the mechanic can do well. But the factory can’t be down for the time to replace the tools so they end up paying way more. As in $1000. ++ more for the tools
Hobo Freight. I use those at work.
Cant wait to see the monthly tool reviews.
This is great so far. I had my own mechanics shop and body shop, and Yes I worked Construction DeWalt was my final choice for all around performance. Milwaukee just wasn't in the picture at the time, 10 years ago. before that it was Mikita or skill for power tools. since I retired ( semi retired still have to work some) I went back to my home use stuff Ryobi , Dewalt got to big for it's name and Quit, being the all around tool. 35 years ago Milwaukee had a Good line of Battery powered screw driver that were Great for assembly line equipment service was good and and reliable but for the average mechanic Way too expensive. Today I am torn between three names Milwaukee, Ryobi and the new Hercules line. I shy away from Hercules for one reason. How long is Harbor freight going to be around. I still have a hard time justifying Milwaukee cost, but it's getting easier since Matco started carrying it on there trucks. Thank you for this Video It will help me decide. I'm not a Pro full time any more.but I still want performance.
Drip of oil on Oring under Hog Ring on anvil works wonders. Makes it like its broken in just right.
I always look forward to watching you
Can’t control quality . Boeing says you can only “assure” quality According to them when the inspector finds junk work , it fails until it’s right . Thus assuring quality. It’s not easy controlling what a tradesmen delivers
