How It's Made: Tribus Tools Ratcheting Line Wrenches FACTORY TOUR

[@johnn2557]

That's what we need more of in America a company that cares more about their product and customer satisfaction than their bottom line! Thank you Tribus Tools and Clay for the look at the manufacturing of their tools!

[@jeffmoses5383]

Coming from manufacturing it's awesome seeing this. Thanks Tribus for giving us a behind the scenes with Clay.

[@KoonTrucking]

Check out the teaser for it I just released on my IG, it’s pretty cool

[@arenaissanceishman6689]

I don’t even need one but I’ll buy one. Cause, Murcia! I like these guys!

[@neiln9391]

Absolute respect for the CEO. He acknowledged each employee on this tour and complimented them for their contribution. We as a nation need to make an effort to buy products made in this country so that our country prospers. I myself have made a change and started buying more American made products even if it costs a little more. My trips to harbor freight or any other enterprise that pushes cheap foreign products have decreased to absolute essential only. I have unsubscribed from You tuber's that push sponsored cheap foreign made products and give it glowing reviews to the masses. Thank you Mr. Koon for not selling out and doing awesome reviews. Please continue with these types of content and use your platform to highlight companies that makes their products in the USA and employ's US labor force.👏👏👏

Just threw away 600.00 dollars on this junk! I bought both the SAE and the Metric sets. The gear heads strip out instantly or are jammed right out of the box. They say lifetime warranty but if you can't get ahold of anybody the warranty is a joke. This company basically stole money out of my pocket. As a mechanic I make a living with my tools I expect them to work as intended not just be a dust collector on a back shelf.

[@Badmonkey2230]

Awesome! Always love USA made! Thanks Clay!

[@paulcarlomagno1673]

I'll buy a set just because it's made in America

[@johnharbaugh9471]

Lot of solid, quality, made in Ohio tools & products. Hoping your including Van Wert, home to Kennedy tool boxes. Georgetown and Westerville for MAC tools. Great review and walk thru, this was great!! Go Bucks.

[@cooter.malone]

I finally got a chance to watch this video, and I love it!!! Ever since I was a young lad, I have enjoyed seeing how things are made. This was great! Thanks!!

[@E.IS.M.I.A.]

True 100% American, I love it

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Very cool tour Clay. Everything made in Ohio. Awesome.

[@henryg683]

very interesting place you brought us to Clay!!!I like that everything is made in the USA I had interest in the line wrenches ratcheting the way they do you’ve really peaked my interest in them now!!!!thanks great info as usual!!!!

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s awesome. Glad you found it interesting. The cards at the end of the video are to videos I have made of them in use.

WOW, GREAT GREAT TOUR ON TRIBUS.... Great company, small but functional and their products looks extraordinary

[@JoeJalopy]

Innovation! I was replacing an ABS hydraulic control unit and using a good (Snappy) line wrench. You're like a mind reader, I honestly was thinking somebody should make a ratcheting one.

[@KoonTrucking]

There they are ! Just for you ! Ratcheting line wrenches (smaller sizes coming soon) and ratcheting O2 and Nox sensor wrench !

[@roarkfabworks]

This was a great video. Really nice to see these made in the USA.

[@srssrv7478]

Super cool video Clay very informative Thank You!

[@stephenpenland278]

This poor guy seems soo nervous, awsome setup and gotta love his enthusiasm

[@jlbartus]

Great video, love seeing quality tools.

[@davidwalle5025]

Great video. Great wrenches

[@patrickwelch620]

I look forward to trying them out. I hope they make some smaller sizes soon. I must admit they seem a little short, like they are just waiting for some half inch black pipe to be put on em.

[@KoonTrucking]

The smaller sizes are coming soon. Remember they are ratcheting wrenches they aren’t made to break loose a bunch of weight. Just like a ratchet isn’t supposed to be used to break loose a bunch of weight.

[@patrickwelch620]

@@KoonTrucking thanks! Great video!

[@nitrous07me]

Woah a real ginger, those are rare, I’d be interested in the o2 sensor wrench

[@rex3451]

Hope all is good

[@djosbun]

To say that the 15/16" wrench is 'girthy' is an understatement. That's an impressive looking tool. I am curious how the DLC holds up over the long term. That process has been around for a long time but I don't recall it ever being used for tools. I would think that a FNC treatment (ferritic nitrocarburizing) would yield better anti-wear and corrosion resistance. Unless that's what they actually have done, although FNC isn't an actual coating.

[@maddmechanic2386]

Good stuff Clay!

[@ruaraidhmaccormick4677]

Can I check with you clay how strong are they were they not having problems with them breaking?

[@KoonTrucking]

Yes they are strong take a look at this video I did with the O2 sensor wrench kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4iQgaKFdpx5b5o

[@ruaraidhmaccormick4677]

Thanks clears a few rumours up looks like real good tool 👍

[@KoonTrucking]

If you read through some of the comments I explain the issues that were there before, but never really got out of the plant and definitely didn’t go to ANY CUSTOMER THAT PURCHASED a set of them.

[@ChadG2]

This video was awesome glad they make and produce everything in the great. U.S.OF A

[@mikey358976]

More power to that company, the tool is a very good concept, we need more tools like those. Hopefully the Metric/ SAE will be for sale on line I will definitely buy, cause I seen there action on being used, on You Tube there AWSOME! hope there business will boom , we need these kind of tools, Thanks Tribus please make more tools guys. 😊👍

[@tonychandler8908]

Great video I enjoyed that thanks

[@KoonTrucking]

I figured you guys would find this interesting. I wanted to share the knowledge and how much work goes into these wrenches.

[@gregcothrum4045]

Man, Clay was within 40 minutes of me, would of been nice to meet ya, glad when ya came into ohio it was atleast somewhat warm. Thanks for the video.

[@jimhaines8370]

When the guy assembling tools I see he has a HUOT industrial box, I have a bottom and top HUOT tool box from back in the early 90's not long before they discontinued tool boxes to the automotive industries and many years.

[@dalehall2993]

Need too do an unboxing and a hands on with tribus tools at YOU'RE shop clay!👍🏻😎

[@KoonTrucking]

Already done that (BTW both of these are on cards at the end of the video) Here are the line wrenches being unboxed and also used in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZazZK2prdOsoNE And here is the unboxing and use of the O2 sensor wrench kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4iQgaKFdpx5b5o Grab some popcorn and watch em both they are really good !

[@dalehall2993]

@@KoonTrucking Did u watch justin sturgill trucking or how ever you spill the fuckin guys name about tribus tools??

[@KoonTrucking]

Yes I am aware of that but what he forgot to mention is he was sent those wrenches. They were from the first batch that were nitrite coated. The company that Tribus used to have that coating applied did them twice which caused them to become brittle. They caught it early and notified the youtubers that received them to test. (None of the wrenches went out to anyone that PAID for them only to influencers since it was a very small batch) they called all the influencers when they found the issue during in house testing and it was immediately corrected and another company was sourced to do the coating from then on. It was a mistake that wasn’t technically Tribus fault but it caused them to step back and redesign some of the tool issues that could be there and it was honestly a blessing in disguise, they redesigned part of the wrench to make it even better than before. Since then there has been zero issues with them breaking. The company stepped up and found and fixed the issue immediately and that’s all you can ever ask from a company. With any manufacturing company there will be issues and since then they test the products in house as you can see in the video with random tests and even strength tests they perform. I truly believe they are an excellent company and as you can see in this video they take a HUGE amount of pride in their work and are proud of the products they build. Their work going forward will eradicate any doubts of that one mistake that wasn’t even in their control at the time. Hopefully that clears up some of the doubts people have. I’m pretty sure they will officially address this issue so it can be finally put to bed.

[@neiln9391]

@@KoonTrucking You are a class act Mr. Koon. The influencer in question is always taking shots at you but you take the high road and never stoop to that level. I have never heard you speak ill of any of your You Tube content creator peers. Much respect to you🙌.

[@jeremyb9948]

I was hoping they would address the issues they had with these wrenches breaking before. Was that corrected? If so how did they correct it?

[@KoonTrucking]

Yes technically it wasn’t Tribus Tools fault it was the company they used to Nitrite coat the wrenches. One batch got done twice by that company and that’s what caused the issue with them because they become brittle from over hardening. They were caught early and not 1 set went out to anyone that “purchased” the wrenches. They were only sent out to some influencers and it was immediately corrected and another company was contracted to do the Nitrite coatings to prevent any future issues. They also went back to the drawing board and made the wrenches thicker and stronger at possible weak points so it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the company to build an even better product than the original. But since that issue they have performed flawlessly and haven’t had any issues.

[@jeremyb9948]

Thank you for your response good to hear

Love the look of the wrench’s can’t wait for them to come to Australia see if we can break them or not, I thick not just want to get my hands on the metric spanners need 17 mm😎

[@BudgetGarage1]

Awesome video, definitely going to look in to these!

[@KoonTrucking]

They are awesome, and it will make those tight O2 and Nox sensors much easier to get out and allow you to do the job faster.

For sure I’ve just changed into the Diesel tech profession and had to pull sensors for the dpf and what not and could have used them.

[@derekthompson8706]

He’s very hands on and has worked through every step and process to get it to where it is today! He has to be extremely proud of his facility and his entire staff and process
