Raven arms went out of business in the early 90's when the factory burned down. Jennings, the owner sold the company to Phoenix Arms which was his children and ex wife. They produced the MP-25 (not the P-25) for a few more years to wit they started to produce the HP-25 which is absolute junk. Made of cast Zamac which is a zinc alloy which can fracture very easily over time. The original MP-25 isn't bad (I'd never own one, I prefer my beretta tomcat oran original PPK) but the "modern" HP-25 is just crap.

Hi Coyle, I was wondering if there’s any chance you might be able to share with us the history of the grip latch system on the drawers, like who invented it, and why it is that so few toolboxes have it. About five years ago I bought a craftsman tool chest with their grip latch system. I regard it as the best design ever. I’d like to get another tool chest, but Sears no longer makes their toolboxes with the grip latch system. For the life of me, why did they stop making their toolboxes without the grip latch system? Why did they replace it with a friction type or the self closing type -I hate both of them. It also annoys me that they’re making tool chest in different colors. I would care less about that. The most important part of a tool chest is its ability to hold weight and the ability to open the drawers with the least amount of effort. The drawers are the only moving part in a tool chest That, you would think, should be reliable over the years. For me, and to make an analogy, the grip latch system is like having disc brakes on your car instead of drum brakes. I don’t understand why people buying toolboxes are OK not having grip latch. Presently, I refuse to buy a toolbox without grip latch. Toolbox manufacturers who incorporate a grip latch system are asking a lot of money for those toolboxes but why did they suddenly become so expensive? Craftsman was making them and they were affordable, especially when they were on sale. When craftsman made their toolboxes with the grip latch system, was it a patented idea that was not theirs and it expired? Aside from all this, I’ve lost count how many videos I’ve seen of men and women giving reviews of all manner of tool chest and toolboxes, but only a few mention a grip latch system and they only mention it in passing as if it was a difference that made no difference. But to me, it makes all the difference in a tool chest. Am I the only one who feels this way?

The icon knipex/snap on copy’s are definitely a value but knipex is incredible
@@Booney1286 for the price you can’t beat them. I’m a big Astro pneumatic fan in general. I really like their tool offerings.
@@Booney1286 I don’t know what they do. That’s so different but their pliers are definitely a cut above every everybody else. The only thing Snapon has that knipex doesn’t have are the adjustable long nose pliers, and I happen to have a set of those which I really like.
@@jamescaron6465 same Astro pneumatic is great stuff I have their Thor 1/2 impact and reversible and adjustable head cutoff tool great stuff some day I’ll get their big nasty air hammer
Thanks again. Your video's are great. You are very informative. Really like how you explain stuff without selling it. You show why the stuff is selling itself. There's a huge difference between cheap and inexpensive. You show and expain it well. If you're ever not smart enough to relocate to ohio I'd definitely like to be a stop on your route. Please keep up the great work. 👍
I appreciate your kind words, thank you!
AND just when you think you’ve got everything you could ever need, some jackass somewhere decides the world needs yet one more drive type. 🤦♂️ Also, bits are a consumable as far as I’m concerned but just focus on the ones you actually use.
I feel a little empty that the sockets weren't placed on the driver.
1:50 you have a leak there buddy.....either bad hose connection or cooler.
Awesome video. Thanks
I’d have to say the Mac anti vibes are tough to beat for my hand. Not the fit, just the anti vibe works Best for Me compared to Other brands. That said, I’d die to have an Independant and would buy more From them than anyone else.
I’ve never owned the motion sensor lights of any brand. Do they turn on and off every time the car or lift or anything goes in front of u. Like I’m trying to imagine that thing turning on and off. At the same time I can’t imagine they’d sell any if that was the case. How do those work.
If you're close enough to an object, it will trigger the switch, so there are times when it would be better to turn it on manually, like when you have to stick your head in a tight space. Despite that, these types of lights are very popular and sell all the time.
@@CoyleTools thx! Seems like they have a purpose fir aure
Hi. Furbtge jeeper creeper, is that material built for a mechanic to do the dreaded parking lot , sometimes gravel, jobs? Or is it more for weekendvwarrrior to to a job here and there. How durable
They'll hold up for years on a shop floor. They are pro-grade, but the casters are only 2", so they're not good for rough or uneven surfaces. You'd need a heavy duty creeper with large wheels for that.
I still have my craftsman robogrip pliers and I use them from time to time.
Does VIM actually own a factory or support any USA manufacturing? From my understanding they source all their product out of Taiwan, rebrand it into their packaging and retail it well above other high quality Taiwan offerings. However they do specify unique designs/lengths that others aren't providing in the market place. I do like VIM.
From the information on their site and YT channel, they both manufacture in the US and other countries. In fact, you can filter on American Made as a criteria for searching on their site. From what I've gathered from watching their videos and reading about their history, they also OEM for other brands.
Hello again, Lindsay Thank you for another Great Video 👍 And thank you for the kind words you gave me. I appreciate the shout out.
Hello, George! Thank you for your continued support, I appreciate you, buddy!
@@CoyleTools You are most welcome.
You can’t beat canik for the price I carry a mete mc9 lot mixed reviews but I’ve had no issues with it and I’ve fired over a hundred rounds in it
Honestly, I can't get over how good their prices are.
@@CoyleTools and they are actually sold guns my brother and boss turned me on to them and trigger aren’t that bad
I bought the Forge 6 few months ago when it first came out. Mine is very good.
Thanks for the feedback!
I've been very happy with all my vim tools. The robo grip I inherited, never found anything it really works for
5:00.. they're great..you can set them almost anywhere and not have it moving around..and you can put alot of stuff in them and not worry about anything getting scratches or rolling away..awesome
I am a certified Audi tech, and VIM has been my go-to for tools. VIM for the Win
VIM for the Win, I love it!
The robo grip oil filter pliers look great but... even in the HD industries i rarely run into filters that have room all the way around them for something that thick.
I also wondered about that. We'll see how much interest there is for them.
@@CoyleToolsI think I've mentioned this before but the Gear wrench band oil filter wrenches that use a 1/2" ratchet as the handle are the best I've ever seen for HD work. If you get those in some guys hands you'll sell a lot of them.
@@markpeterson6836 In fact, Mark, I sell those a lot. I think the last one I had sold today. Or maybe it was yesterday. At any rate, you'll be seeing those on an upcoming tool haul once I restock.
Great video. I have the Robo grips from Craftsman, and have had them for years. VIM tools seems to of updated theirs in a couple of ways. I think Husky and kobalt have something similar as well. Craftsman being the only one who made non-maring soft tips for delicate surfaces.
Thanks for the info!
Actually there's not much they manufacture in the US right now. Vast majority is from Taiwan. Still quality tools though.
VIM is really cool because they welcome ideas and listen to what their customers concerns may be. Very accessible and easy to talk to. Quality wise I've never heard anyone complain or had any issue. 👍👍 The backstrap does look well contoured and you mean I shouldn't go shopping with the Rough Rider 22 inch barrel wheel gun open holstered?? It could cause panic? lol
Open carrying that Rough Rider would at least get you noticed!
@@CoyleTools I think some of the reactions would be funny for sure
@@biggiefitz6275 It would certainly be a conversation starter!
This some doohicky shi fr
