We have Gearwrench stuff at work . I like Gearwrench tool and have no complants . If something happen to all my tool i would buy american made if i could afford to.

Nice Mac box. I had the same SK Torx drivers. They were a nice set.

Enjoyed the watch! I seen this comment below, but I do admire the cusomality of some of your tools! I have my own custom made sockets but nothing neat that nice of build quality haha! Wicked tour man

Great collection. You do a really nice job when you mod your tools. No hackery in that department 👍

The mac/facom/usag ratcheting wrenches have the spring clip in the box end, so you could just buy the 11mm precision torque/440/not sure the usag wrench name

I really do like a lot of GW stuff, but those chinese wrenches they put out are no better than no name Amazon examples. For what you paid, the length, and the warranty its still a good deal, but I really miss the old Taiwanese stuff. If you notice, they can't even get the logo on straight, and that flat spot passing QC is insane. The newest chinese stuff seems to be better a lot better, but I always keep an eye out for the old tools in good shape. GW is very hin n miss now, back in the day you could trust anything they put thier name on, now a days its just not the case unfortunately. Im not mad, just disappointed lol.Thanks for the peek at 👍

Excellent very thorough and detailed as usual. Much appreciated. And I definitely feel the wright wrenches have one of the best chamfers in the game on their box end as well as you can tell, they truly, take pride in the wrenches they produce

The absolute Best run of the mill Combination wrenches on the planet imo and one of the last of the brands that’s still fueling the local economy of a small Ohio town made within a couple Ours made everything there Is made in USA from the denim to the wrenches to the gold chain The tag hangs on are all domestically produced.

Gearwrench has some real cheap chinese junk...anything cheap...is garbage..

Wrenches without the gripping teeth are okay but no comparison to wrenches with gripping technology.I too use Wright grip and I have Carlyle long pattern for a secondary set.The Carlyle also have gripping tech...but only the long pattern carlyle wrenches have it.The standard carlyle do not.

Nice collection. I know what you mean about the wrench organizers. They do waste a lot of space. I use Romex wire to make racks. I just wrap the wire around a broom handle and make enough coils for each wrench set. This way I can stand the wrenches vertical and make maximum use of drawer space.

Chrome vanadium is extremely hard, chrome moly is more impact resistant. Most wrenches are made from chrome vanadium including a lot of gearwrench wrenches. I think The cheap tools have chrome vanadium stamped on them because they want you to see it’s made from high quality alloys. Although not all chrome vanadium alloys are equal in strength and quality as with other alloys.

Nice wrench sets. It doesn't hurt to have a secondary set of wrenches for home or travel use. Warranty on tools sure isn't what it used to be. You don't know what you'll get in return.

The red tray mac sockets were always 1 of my favorites...generally, they are awesome sockets...finally, a partial toolbox tour...Can't wait for a shop toolbox tour 💯

Besides the desiccant packets, how are you keeping your sockets rust-free? It seems like the higher-end sockets (especially Snap On) rust faster than cheap ones (like Harbor Freight).

yeah man Cripe is a great seller.. i have bought from them problly 10 times or more..... mostly NOS usa wrench or ratchets.... Really enjoy your tools videos also man.. LOL...

U don’t have to explain yourself to these pricks! U like what you like brother!

Another great 3/8" to 1/4" adapter is the Apex USA ex-257-2

I've never heard it called Cripe industries only Cripe distributing and yes they are a great company to deal with and when you buy from their website they don't have to pay eBay a fee on every sell(which is 13.25%). I've bought much Armstrong and they said they still have multiple warehouse full of the stock they bought when apex shut them down

Im a hardcore DIYer. Gearwrench has served me well. Only had 1 snap-on dealer in 14 years that wasn't a jerk. Myself i cant justify snap-ons prices , BUT , their stuff is nice. Every one likes Cadillac but most only need chevy . Great video .

Not impressed by those wrenches, but the Ktool sockets are masterfully made and top quality imo.

Owesome 👏👏👏👍

Tooloutfitters has maybe the best pricing for vim. Just ordered from

I would prefer having switchable direction. Also a fixed end one side, ratcheting other side. So each wrench 1 size. I do enjoy tektons quality, they have been upping their prices though too

Clearance? Those are the skinny est..wrenches ive seen all new ones are thicker

Yep you said it..these snap on cult folowers seem to think differently .all tools are coming from same or simaler factory s.and most if not ALL ARE NOT USA..there all guna work..the days of qaulity is gone its a throw away society sadly

These are sweet man. Great vid

I don't think the Gearwrench ratchets are junk. I have Duralast and Husky ratchets that have been good. I have older 36 tooth ratchets that I use to break loose stubborn fasteners and use the finer tooth ratchets to remove and reassemble. 1/4" drive tools are becoming more of a necessity with the smaller hardware and tight conditions encountered in modern vehicles.

Snap on sells the 11mm wrench. Part No. BOERMFLCG11, $69.00.

Lol!! Snapon will give you a 'free' hat if you spend $$$ on the truck. :) Those Tekton ratchets are nice. Picked up a few to fill gaps in an Icon double box set. Like the Tekton little more.

Hi are these made in Taiwan? And are the through holes wide enough for the screw bolts to go all the way down or the get stuck where the broach ends? Thanks

That also drives me crazy when you go to the work truck and find sockets missing out of the sets the boss has in the truck for us but later down the road u see your coworker using the socket and keeping it in their personal work bag. It drives me insane! Had to buy all my own stuff since guys love to steal. Actually I don’t know anyone who that wouldn’t piss off😂 always the key sizes too! We use sae mostly so the 1/2”, 9/16”, 5/8” and 3/4” are guaranteed to be missing from every kit. The only metric sizes we use commonly is 8mm and 10mm of course. The only size not missing from all the sets we use is the 7/16” because the goofballs at work think the right size is 11mm and think I’m wrong for using the 7/16” yes the 11mm works perfectly fine! I’m going to keep letting them think those fasteners are 11 mm since it seems like we have plenty of those sockets😂 they actually bought a few 12pt 11mm sockets from the store bc they needed them for these 7/16” self tappers. Makes me chuckle. Don’t get me wrong they work!! But it’s funny they think I’m wrong when the box of fasteners shows what they are. Malco flip sockets are the best for self tappers if you never used them! Stick with the 6” and maybe buy one short one for tight areas since you can always make it longer if you needed. Harryjepstine has great prices on those.

Thanks for the thorough review. Not only does the satin finish look great, it's also more environmentally friendly. I love my Tekton stuff and I'm going to have to grab a set of these.

The 90T Gearwrench set looks like a great travel tool kit for $65. I kept my Snap-on stuff at the shop and used mid tier tools for the road. Due to unfortunate circumstances I'm down to the mid tier tool set as my main set. I've had pretty good luck with Apex's various tool lines. The Snap-on 1/4" universal joints are definitely compact. There is a big difference between the Stanley and Snap-on that I have. I use my 1/4" nut driver quite a bit and have used it as an extension.

been wondering about these… I’ve gotten K-tool chrome extensions and sockets and my first impressions were good…can’t speak on durability tho

Pure garbage, like most retail tools they are very low quality. Most of the Gearwrench stuff ends up in China. I had the 120xp 1/4 drive sets and they give you a pile of tools for the money. However, the sockets are no better than cheap harbor freight Pittsburgh and the ratchets are terrible when using with one hand in tight spaces. It just rotates and socket and nut back and forth and grinds and binds. Gearwrench are the worst ratchets I have ever used. Any vintage Mac Cornwell or Snap-on 30 tooth ratchet is better than brand new Gearwrench. And that makes the newer Snap-on 72 and dual 80 ratchets extremely better. But if you don't want to spend much money buy the Pittsburgh or Blue-Point or USA made vintage straight ratchets. If you don't hold that Gearwrench ratchet and socket at a perfect 90°, it doesn't function as expected. Put just a little sideways pressure on the socket and see what I mean.

Thank you for sharing that Snap-On case number!

I got the matco opti grip version goes up to a t70. Got the t80,t90,t100 rbrt from my mac rep. They are 👍

Got all the tekton chrome sockets tekton offers from 1/4-1/2 drive 💯

If you get two or more pieces of plywood and glue them together crosswise the grain it won’t chip and crack when you drop it and will be much stronger. That’s what I do anyway. Great tip!!

Exactly. Keep your tools in clean and otherwise good shape. Anytime I have to work on the interior of someone's car, I dont have to worry about grease or other crud from my tools being transferred to places that crud doesnt belong. This was even taught to us in Auto Mechanics during our first couple weeks of vocational school

I could care less about 1/2 inch difference. I could care oess about the broach difference. But 13 8s the most common ass size to not have lol

Great idea, organization tips. Tired of the terminology of "ocd," it's just smart to be organized rather than a mess where you can not find anything when you need it.

Nice set of wrenches. I had some double box Matco wrenches. One end was non reversible ratcheting and the other end 15 degree offset box. The ratcheting mechanism was smooth. I purchased them in 2000. Since Matco doesn't manufacture their tools they rely on outside sources. In the 80s Bonney manufactured Matco's wrenches. When Bonney shut down Matco used Armstrong until they too shut down. When it comes time to warranty a Matco tool you never know what you will get in return. I think lot of Matco tools are now manufactured in Taiwan.

Thanks for taking the time to review the Tekton ratcheting wrenches. I was the viewer who asked your thoughts on the Snap-on. I too have thin boney fingers that I call "stubby sticks" and Snap-on wrenches always felt uncomfortable due to the narrow pointed beams. That's why I went with Mac combination wrenches. They had wider squared beams similar to the Tekton ratcheting wrenches. I'm also not a fan of the spline drive wrenches. I honestly prefer satin finish. It seems to provide a better grip when hands are oily. New Britain Machine manufactured wrenches had the rough satin finish.

You are not using the VAT45 tester correctly. Put the amp probe over the cable going to the battery, then you can see the amperage that is being drawn out by the tester.

GR has six point wrenches for cheap ,good brand too

I have a 110pc grip on tools tap and die set its in a bright green case

U have this and the 1/4 inch dr sae and metric 120xp socket set with finger ratchet
