DID THE MATCO DEALER WARRANTY MY TOOLS? I GOT SOME NEW TOOLS!

[@scottgann9501]

Mr. Smith you are outstanding I cannot think of a time I have made a greater deal than you just did my hat's off to you mr. Smith and all of us here in Texas like you man

[@kevinterry9731]

Yes Jc I bought the impacts and saw to cut metal frames (truck frames) (we sell truck parts and use all milwaukee tools battery tools) because no power out in the yard,They are absolutely fantastic tools to use ,I myself have NO complaints and we have used them for years now! We need to up grade our batteries now but really surprised they have been really good to use .I had a Cornwell problem and sent my sockets to there main internet address and called them they give me the right address to ship to them for replacement, they did replace the socket no problem. I had a mac torx socket that broke sent the tool back it was a T55 torx for removing Ford truck bed bolts 1/2 drive sent to there return office and they sent me a 3/8 T55 socket I really dont understand that one at all give them a 1/2 inch drive get a 3/8 drive back ,had to resend at my cost but they fixed the T55 socket ( replaced) no problem after all that I had no dealers like you said and just looked it up on line and sent to mail order replacement. I think you will love the milwaukee products really we love them and impress by them! I live in Ohio no dealers.that I could find.

[@glennjukes5581]

Greatr for you! Makes a man proud to know he can count on his tools to earn a living and not worry about it.

[@robertalvarez9500]

Love your videos thank you

[@scott3708]

My experience as a 20+ year mechanic. Never met a snap-on dealer where it wasn't a battle to warranty anything. They will sell you anything for the price of your sole, but I could buy 3-5 sets of craftsman for a walk in walk out, no questions asked warranty. Not any more though as craftsman now is Chinese crap and good luck finding anywhere that has sockets you can exchange. I still cant find anyone to warranty a grearwrench brand wrench. Sad times and now I cringe when I break tools. Glad you have a snap-on dealer you can work with, I bet you've spent thousands with him though. At one time I remember owing the Mac, Mactco, Snap-on, Cornwell and the independent S&K trucks all $20 each a week, could have nearly anything for $20 a week! Glad to be out of that nightmare. P.S. still have a borken snap-on 10mm 6point swivel socket, I gave up on trying to get it warrantied. Love the Milwaukee never go wrong with them. Love the channel.

[@craigjorgensen4637]

When I was in the tool business I had a lot of customers who NEVER broke a tool. I also had some customers who brought me something that they had broken every week! I would say that 20 percent of my customers broke 80 percent of the broken tools I took in. That Matco guy went WAY beyond the call of duty to take care of you!

[@jimbirko6279]

milwaukee also has a table for the band saw

[@KoonTrucking]

Glad you got those M word tools warrantied ! JC you will LOVE that Milwaukee 1/2” just run it through the paces ..... you will be impressed !! The grease gun is the BEST thing ever ! I use the snot out of it !

[@j.c.smithprojects]

they are all fixed up and ready to sell them off! i had few people ask what tools i was going to sell to i have a video going up soon of all the "non snap on tools" i am selling off. i hope the milwaukee stuff is as good as all the hype! that grease gun is going to make life a little easier!

[@KoonTrucking]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS it will make it easier u will save at least half the time with it.

[@forgedsteelwrench9249]

Like everything bout your product review and your experiences with Matco truck EXCEPT...........it be better video with DULUTH TRADE COAT insteaf of the Carhartt. My 3 most complaints bout those is the zipper fail and color fades too quickly and the fabric becomes less flexible and becomes torn eventually. Hope its not the case with your coat. But anyways THUMBS Up on your video.

[@mikeswindell4917]

Those grease guns are awesome, we have 2 and have had them a couple yrs. no problems and use them everyday! Great Video!!

great to hear that the grease guns have been problem free. i have been wanting a battery grease gun for quite some time.

Those new matco screwdrivers look good to me...l like fat handle screwdrivers & they have bright colored handles to catch your eye when you're hunting 1 down

[@j.c.smithprojects]

those screwdrivers are going in the first group of tools that i am selling off. i have the video of the first group of tools i am going to sell off. i will be posting it tomorrow.

[@MidwestToolReview]

I'm not sure if you've seen my channel, but I'm a big fan of SK Tools. If you don't mind, please contact me about you SK tools you're looking to sale. I also have a good friend who's a Matco dealer, so I can warranty anything I need to without issue. Lastly, i believe you're located in Ohio? I'm located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, so maybe I could come out to see what you're looking to sale?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

just subbed! i have one set of sk wrenches. i really like the fit and finish. i think the body of the wrench is better than snap on. they are metric 10mm-19mm. open end and swivel socket on the other end. i paid a good some for them when i bough them. they are in my next video with all the other tools i want to sell off. fort wayne is about a 5 hour drive for me. thanks for the offer on the matco! i am selling off all of my matco mac, cornwell, wright and sk....i have either replaced it with snap on or i dont need it any more.

[@MidwestToolReview]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS, ok that works for me. I’ll watch for the next vid. Do you have a paypal account? What would be the most convenient way to pay you Incase you don’t have paypal?

Dang it brother I am happy that you got stuff taken care of. I don't own any of the Milwaukee tools but from what I have seen and heard you are going to be happy. Great tool haul and video thanks brother keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks scott! this is my first set of battery operated milwaukee. i am thinking i will be very happy with the purchase.

[@WickedG5150]

I’d like to see which Wright Tools you are selling.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the wright tools are gone. sorry!!

[@WickedG5150]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS Thanks.

[@Alanschmalzried]

Glad the Matco dealer stepped in to help out. You will love the Milwaukee tools...I’m jealous of the grease gun!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the grease gun was what i wanted the most. the others were a great bonus!

[@theengineroom1479]

Now that’s a good day! I have that Milwaukee grease gun. Great tool. We use it to grease our backhoes and everything every else. We used to use a pneumatic grease gun. Worked well but you had to bring the equipment to the gun. Now you just take The Milwaukee to wherever the equipment is. Very convenient.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

that is exactly why i have wanted a battery grease gun. no more dragging 100 ft of air hose around a truck or equipment. it should be a lot less grief.

[@mickhulsen6825]

That milwaukee will blow your mind i bought one a few weeks back and they go hard. even truck diff u bolts will do it easy money well spent..

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks mick. i am hoping it will solve the "hose draggin" problems.

[@mickhulsen6825]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS shure will i was a bit like u had doubts then bought one and was blown away by battery life and power of it

[@ozzmann3217]

I absolutely love the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2” impact I think it out performs every electric impact on the market

[@lakesideranch]

Great score today JC, You will love that 1/2" impact, I gave my son that exact tool for Christmas last year and he uses it daily with no issues. It is a torque monster. I have the grease gun for the heavy equipment with an add on Lock N Lube tip, awesome tool as well. IMHO Milwaukee has invested a lot of time improving their game with the cordless tools and batteries. Check out "Real Tool Reviews" channel on KZbin, he did a comparison of the Snap On and Milwaukee impacts, also "Knarly Karl" channel on KZbin is a big fan of Milwaukee tools. The Matco experience story was well told and I'm glad you won that round with the warranty tools. The video quality and lighting is a 2 thumbs up for sure, have a good weekend and stay warm !!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am anxious to test these tools out. the lock n lube tip is awesome. my napa store started selling them a few months ago. thanks for the tips. see you next time my friend.

[@nickjh72]

That's awesome jc a great day all round with a Billy bonus sweet.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it was a great day indeed....but wait there is more!!! i know what a dork huh??

[@georgeolinger5214]

awesome find i got this set off cornwell truck here in Southwest Va. but also bought the 3/4 drive love this stuff,never owned electric or cordless till last summer

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have yet to try the milwaukee tools but i am hoping they are great.

[@robotvacuum1957]

I’d put money on the table and I’m not a betting man, you’ll love the impacts!! I’m happier than you for getting them than you are. I can guarantee you will use the battery tools before the pneumatic. I can’t say that battery will ever replace pneumatic but damn they’re nice to have!! That grease gun will change your life! You can set it to 5, 10 pumps or constant pumping, it’s a life saver!! 5 year tool and 2 year battery warranty, Milwaukee can’t be beat! I’m glad to see you got the M word tools warrantied and I’m sure it was a bit of a haggle but it’s done. I’m gonna get rid of my last M word tool this week. I don’t want it so I’m getting rid of it for half cost! It’s not the money but the principal in my matter! Great video as always sir, can’t wait until the next episode of “ what did I buy “!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

after hearing everyone talk to highly about the milwaukee tools...i would be a fool to not try them. i am excited to see what they will do! i have a video of all the matco, mac, cornwell, wright and sk tools that i have and are going to sell off. no need in keeping tools that i have to struggle to get warrantied. bobby, i hope my videos dont come across as bragging when i buy something as it is not my intention. i get excited about getting new things and like to share it with you all.

[@robotvacuum1957]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS I’m gonna check out the other video shortly. Your videos don’t come off as bragging, I enjoy seeing what you got next! I can honestly say I probably enjoy seeing you with new stuff as much as you enjoy it! I enjoy seeing people happy, it makes me happy. Give yourself some credit where it is due, you’re a great person that makes awesome content!

[@cindyeva7454]

Awesome milwaukee haul,i have a lot of the 12v tools from them and they have been great,looking forward to seeing how the 3/8 gun does,been thinking of upgrading to it from an old ni cad dewalt

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have a snap on 1/2" impact and a bosch 1/2" as well as a bosch 1/4" and really like these. i am hoping the milwaukee will out perform all of them.

[@BlindBatG34]

I'm glad Marco came through. You should give that dealer a shout out. Does the grease gun have a fitting so you can fill it from the bulk barrel? I'm a big Cromwell fan boy. I can't wait to see what you have for sale. Cheers!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the matco dealer did come through. he preferred not to be in the video. i have a little bit of cornwell to sell off.

[@johnclintonmusicandmore]

glad to see you got your tools warranted and you'll love the milwaukee tools i have them to not the grease gun tho but i have the 1/4 & 3/8 ratchet and the 1/4 impact driver

[@j.c.smithprojects]

this is my first milwaukee cordless tools. we will see how it goes. i am excited to see how they preform!

[@screamindemon811]

Well JC it was nice of the Matco dealer to step up and do what he could for your broken stuff, so your not stuck with a broken pile of tools. You will like the Milwaukee fuel impact They have a lot of jam to them, I have some other Milwaukee cordless tools that I use in adidition to the impacts so I have four batteries and two chargers so I always have some batteries charged when some go down after a lot of use,. You will probably use it more than I use mine but the impacts have a lot of jam in them and for what I do they work damn well, I had no qualms spending the money for them after seeing my buddy using them at his shop, and I was pretty impressed seeing them in action If I can make a recommendation to you JC for when your going to use your grease gun, pick yourself up a Lock N Lube, they make a small and large one and they are great when your doing a lot of greasing, no must no fuss clip it on and giver You can see it in use on this video Mike The Disgruntled Mechanic made if you want to see it in use.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWocnV_mbCqaJY Worth it in my mind.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have the lock n lube ends...my napa started carrying them a few months ago. they work great! i am excited to use the new tools and seel off all the matco, mac, cornwell and anyting else that isnt snap on.

[@screamindemon811]

Ah then you already know the Lock n Lube joy of greasing, whoever invented that sure had a good idea, makes doing greasing much cleaner...lol Now you just need some nice weather to go and give them impacts a good go. Well the rest of the tools getting sold will help deffer some of the cost of the new tools, so never a bad thing

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i will probably re-invest the money from selling off those tools to buy more! there are plenty of tools that i would like to have!

[@johnnybsbasketcaseprojects3835]

Glad you got your stuff warranted. My buddy loves his Milwaukee stuff.

i have more milwaukee power tools now than i do snap on. never used my snap on impact ever again.

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

@@j.c.smithprojects they are good my only complaint is torque ends up messing with batteries

[@icemonk12]

nice to see you got your tools warrantied👍🔧 Snap On makes good hand tools but electric power tools they are behind in power & price. I have most those m18 tools minus the grease gun. The light has taken a beating & is still running like all my other Milwaukee tools👍

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks lone star. everone i know who ha the m18 says it beats the snap on hands down....we will soon see!

[@niteninja0133]

Instead of dealing with all this why wouldnt you just mail them to Matco, its that simple not sure why people dont just do that. I've had to mail stuff to Cornwell and it wasnt a big deal at all. They shipped everything to me for free

[@mattmcmillan8920]

Now I would say that was a great day for you and a great haul on everything you got even your warranty stuff from Matco Great video JC

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks matt. it was a great day.

[@sethc758]

Idk about their dealers bc we don't have one anymore. But it's been so long since we've had one we had a total of 29 Matco tools broken over I'd say an 8 year period. I contacted them. They sent me a paid shipping label and I got 28 brand new tools back. One was a Lang bc they don't make the ratcheting laminated box wrenches anymore. But 0 complaints with their warranty when you ship them the tools. Besides it taking a month. And it's not bad shit. Not snappy but not bad

[@danlabelle6210]

Snap on is the best for warrty

[@Toolaholic7]

I had a great Matco tool dealer that warrantied tools on the spot.The older Matco screwdrivers the part numbers faded off,this was 2000 and older.Contact Mr. Joe,Clay's Cornwell dealer getting those two sockets replaced.He will take care of you.Mac,can send them in to get replaced hassle free.Have a couple Snap On dealers in my area that are bad,my dad kicked one of them out.One reason why was he would not warranty a worn out socket.Told my dad anything worn out is not covered under warranty.His service was terrible too.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

that is what these screw drivers were....the ink on the handle lasted about week when i bought them way back when. i sent mr. joe the info on what i needed and i didnt hear from him. i was out looking at a truck and saw a cornwell truck...i got the number off the truck and called the dealer. the mac dealer i found is the one who doesnt work on so many days and i will meet him on wednesday. i never have a problem getting snap on warrantied.

[@Toolaholic7]

There are the Snap On dealers that won't warranty tools if they are not purchased from them wanting to see a reciept.One was this way in my area,told one guy contact the dealer he bought the tool from or send it to Snap On to get it warrantied.This dealer is dead now for 2 years now,he put a .45 behind his head and commited suicide.Don't know why he did it to this day.Use to have dealer down the road where I live,he was forced out by Snap On and it's not over yet.Wants Snap On to buy his franchise out,he owned his franchise.

[@ozzmann3217]

It’s hands down better than snap on and I own mostly all snap on stuff but the M18 fuel 1/2 inch is an absolute monster

[@leoashrae4199]

I don't understand what's happening with your tools. I'm semi-retired now, and no longer have a MAC (or any other) tool guy come to see me. Since I have a bunch of MAC (and the other three truck) tools, I was a bit put out about my troubles getting some of my tools replaced. I would have to travel quite a way to meet any of them. So, I called MAC and bitched. To my surprise the lady I spoke with told me that all I have to do is mail the tools to them (on my dime) and they will warranty my tools (for FREE) and they will mail them back to me FOR FREE! You would be amazed at how many MAC tools I can stuff into a USPS Flat Rate "if it fits, it ships" box. The Snap-On guy still insists I meet him in the Walmart parking lot. But, that's much better than Matco and Cornwell. Their customer service people can't understand why I can't drop everything I'm doing and drive 60-miles to meet their tool truck...maybe...if they're not running late that day...if he has your tools in stock. I honestly do wish you all the luck with your Milwaukee tools. I thought my 3/8" angle impact and my 4-1/2 Fuel angle grinder were the neatest things ever...until they broke. Now, in all honesty, I've had them for a while and I've used them hard. I can't complain that they did break. It happens to all brands. What has me pissed is what I've had to do to get them fixed. It's been, "they had a specification change for that version model so you have to buy a whole new handle to replace the switch", and "You can't get just that bearing...you need the whole housing". Bottom line: I can't get them FIXED! Now, one Milwaukee dealer did tell me something that makes some sense. He told me that the repair shops that service Milwaukee tools were completely unprepared to work on the automotive-trade tools. Up until recently, 90% of their business has been servicing the building trades and industrial equipment. They are, according to what I was told, still on a (long) learning curve for what parts they should stock. Ok...I can understand that. But, after almost two months, I still haven't gotten my tools back. It might be narrow minded of me, but I think if a tool company isn't prepared to fix what they're selling, they aren't ready to sell to the automotive trades.

[@ozzmann3217]

I’m 100% a snap on guy I think every location has bad tool truck guys no matter the company why I am a snap on guy 1 the tools and 2 the guy I deal with has been fantastic, but here the MAC guy is horrible and lost a lot of business because of their shotty warranty stuff
