New Capri Tools Flex Head Ratchet 3pc Set Unboxing Teardown

[@richb2229]

I liked them so much I bought all six ratchets over a year ago and never regretted it! These are better than any craftsman and beat any similarly priced tool today. No these aren’t quite as smooth as tool truck brands but are almost on par with GearWrench at half their price.

[@misterrightfix4129]

Nice Review! I'm so glad you didn't break those beautiful Ratchets

[@edwardzamora4781]

About time people start talking capri. They are great tools i work heavy duty mechanics (peterbilt) and its been all good experiences.

[@BeardedSeabee82]

Only 325 to 400ft lbs on 1/2"... oooh just wait til i finally upload the last capri will it break lol. Thanks for shout out, do appreciate nicely. Cant wait for upcoming tests

[@ClientGraphics]

Have to save room for 3/4 drive 🤣

[@AutobahnDan]

Thanks for the shout out! Cool to see that there’s a spring in the flex joint. I’ll have to see how much mine loosen up when I start using them. Nice vid!

[@ClientGraphics]

Anytime, thanks again for finding the 15% off coupon as I never knew they had such a thing.

[@AutobahnDan]

Very nicely done Chris !!! Interesting to see the subtle differences inside of each ratchet brand. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney

Can't imagine making payments on hand tools. I usually pay cash; if I don't have the money in my wallet, can't afford it. I sub to BSB82. Good channel. Due to his experience, I tried out Capri's metric hex sockets. No complaints down to the packaging. The ratchets look good.

[@johnp556]

Same, if I can't afford and really need, time to see what HF has.

[@thisguysgarage]

They seem to do the job they were meant for. Appreciate the first impression look. Ty Chris

[@dancjr2]

The old school Craftsman ratchet drives were held in place with snap rings, I still have the same ones that I bought 35 years ago, they survived 15 years of daily use in the dealership.

[@ClientGraphics]

They sure don't make them like they used too!

[@jamesguralski5156]

Yes sir I have craftsman n husky tools made in USA. Still strong

[@carlosavila1155]

Just ordered a set of these. Thanks for the video.

[@wethenorth4378]

That snap ring on the anvil side exposed. Is very similar to the Matco 88tooth design. Not sure that design is the best for strength. Great content

[@Jadams0410]

I have quite a few Capri ratchets and i love them all...I found after spending the time taking them all apart and applying Super Lube synthetic grease to the internals they became even more smooth using.....I have their extra lomg comfort grip set and have no complaints but I do wish they offered a flex head option on addition to the fixed head set they currently offer

[@SnD340]

This is a little late, but I noticed the snap ring inside the capri ratchets are used inside the new snap on fllf80 ratchets. They are used underneath the screwed backing plate. Dont know if it helps retain the pawl and gear inside

[@sbkarmen]

these are great tools for entry level techs who cant afford more expensive truck tools. and yeah way better than craftsman...

[@Volksoner619]

They’re also great tools for seasoned techs that don’t want to spend a mortgage on tools. LOL. Yea way better than (Chinese) Craftsman. I’ve used the same USA craftsman professionally for almost 30 years.

I love the 72 tooth duralast flex heads, but ive been wanting to check out capri

[@aldenamper9735]

I like watching tools!!

[@_P0tat07_]

They look so nice. I just hate ratchets held together with snap rings. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because a lot of the cheap, no name ratchets are build that way. It’s odd that the fixed head ratchets are held together with screws but the flex heads are spring clips.

[@dancjr2]

P0tat07 Old school Craftsman were held together with snap rings, mine are 35 years old and still going strong.

[@_P0tat07_]

Dan Chisholm yeah my dad has a few of those ratchets. Never been a fan of craftsman ratchets. Always felt too clunky in the mechanism

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

I can't stand flex head ratchets.

[@_P0tat07_]

AircraftMechanic I think they’re pretty handy. As long as they don’t get to floppy I enjoy using them.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Claim to fame I have is discovering the capri 3/8 drive master socket set for $35 shipped from home depot last year =) Awesome set! wish they put that ratchet in the set instead of the included one which is still ok, and I forgot I had it until now LOL

[@ClientGraphics]

I was a day late on that deal as I had the $35 dollars! Can't win them all, but it was a good deal none the less.

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Man those old school duralast ratchets are nice I have some too

[@Clambelly]

Golden Age of hand tools ! Icon, Capri, Tekton, Kobalt, Husky, Gearwrench .... too many to choose from. Thanks for another great video, and intro to another outstanding tool brand. Capri ratcheting wrench sets look like the bomb.

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

Just go with whatever can be warrantied the easiest.

[@Clambelly]

@@AircraftMechanic-AP Right On Bro. No Craftsman store nearby, but the tools are on display at Lowes. I would hope that anything bought at Lowes, Home Depot, or Harbor Freight would be easy enough to exchange under warranty. Only tool that has failed me was 3/8" Craftsman ratchet ... I admit, was stressed more than I should have. Walked in to Sears and they handed me a new one.

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

Remember its always evolving. When the ratchets came out to was really just meant to be a faster alternative to a wrench.

[@WorkHorseLT]

Kobalt went downhill fast it's not the same I'd take Pittsburgh pro over it even a craftsman 36 tooth ratchet

[@Clambelly]

@@WorkHorseLT Cool ... good to know. THANKS ! Personally, I am liking Icon and Capri

[@tedkenne]

Do These Ratchets Bartle Doo With Use? You Know Get Floppy In The Joints. Thanks, Ming.

[@DaleLucid]

When I saw that 1/2 inch in the opener I thought "MAN that's a big az Ratchet". I don't understand why there isn't one flex head rattchet that can be switched between indexable and not. Lastly that 1)2 inch mechanism sounds like a chain hoist. Did I miss the tooth count? Great video. Thanks.

[@ClientGraphics]

Dale Lucid They are all 72t and they could still use some breaking in. I know that people used to do a spring clip on the ball detent spring but I’ll use them for awhile before I would do that.

[@myshots101]

I just uploaded a video on that stanley locking flex ratchet which does exactly what you want. It can be locked or unlocked and it has detents which I'm not sure these have.

[@austingoleman9431]

I have all the regular Capri ratchets and their great but wonder why they got rid of the screws and put snap rings in don’t like that much

[@ernestkills476]

I've had great experiences with the Batman pawl ratchets. Never broken one and I've abused them a ton. Craftsman, Williams and Carlyle.

[@bobbygarrett9588]

Right On, Right On, Thanks Again, Chris. Cant wait to see the test to fail video of some of thrse Capri ratchets.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

They look nice but I worry about the strength on the metal used. I have a Capri 1/2 inch breaker bar and its way more beefy than my duralast if had for years and it feels like its going to break everytime I used it. My old boss tried it and he stopped and said he feels its going to break and didn't wanna get hurt. Kinda discourages me but I might try their 1/4 flex to give it a try

[@builtfordtough4499]

Professional tools.

[@jamesguralski5156]

Wow man Good good prices

[@Sittnslideways]

I am really looking forward to the review for those Carlyle ratchets, huge fan of their comfort grip.

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Never heard of Capri? So many ratchets are flooding the market now!

[@ClientGraphics]

And they are all a little different or rebranded/rebadged with a new name. Just have to navigate through them on easiest warranty and price till they have been put to the test or used by others and witnessed first hand or buy the best and pay the cost.

[@BMfins]

Hmm I’m sticking with Gearwrench as my budget ratchets at work right now. I don’t like how the ratchet moves the selector switch could reverse easily if bumped while using fast.

[@ClientGraphics]

These ratchets are not for everyone and that can be a problem for some. Can't go too wrong with GearWrench as they offer some good deals as well as good value.

[@jamesstephenson2346]

[@katobrly9963]

Which is better, Tekton 90 ratchets or Capri premium ratchets? Why?

[@ClientGraphics]

It all depends. The Tekton has detents on the flex head vs friction ring on the Capri. Capri is a non-quick release vs Tekton has both options. Some of those options are deal breakers for people. Both tools work. I would buy which ever is the best price and has more of the tools that you know you will buy to take advantage of rewards programs. I personally use my Tekton ones more because I bought the complete sets in case.

[@mealex303]

You should make a ratchet and have the company name called home run and put all the good parts into one and have the end of the handle look like a baseball bat

[@WorkHorseLT]

Good job now I want one of those Capri ratchets even tho I already have about 150 I guess I'll have 151

[@cowboy41231]

You lost me at 72 teeth....for me, there’s no reason to be under 90 teeth. I’ve had unbelievable reliability with gearwrench 120xp. I have Milwaukee ratcheting wrenches that are 144, Sk x-frames are something ridiculous like 256 positions... I hate the feel of gearwrench 84tooth. And the Snap-on 80 head only impresses me because of the tight tolerances and minimal backlash.... the amount of teeth can ruin expectations due to sloppy tolerances. They (Capri) look gorgeous, when your in wide open areas, teeth don’t mean nothing, but most everything in my shop (light diesel and vehicles from 96 to current 2018, there’s not much room for anything

[@spelunkerd]

Main issue from my perspective is durability. More teeth inevitably means there is less surface contact area, so will be more prone to damage over time.

[@cowboy41231]

@@spelunkerd agreed if they only use a 3 tooth pawl like the GW 120xps.... but sk x-frames engage 6teeth at each time... on some traditional 90tooth ratchets there r up to 7 finer teeth engaged on a single Solid pawl...... no matter how we count it, there's a plateu effect eith how force an anvil can take (ie: 3/8" drive anvils see gonup to about 260-280 ft lbs depending on manufacturer) point being is its mot the teeth failing, however the durability and reliability over longterm against grit dirt moisture
