Such a sick haul! Adamos and myself live in the same area so I know how hard it can be to get good chemicals sometimes, especially ones like the Lithium cubes

[@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails]

Great garage conversation! I enjoyed it. I can’t wait for the reviews and testing of all of that! Even thoughts on the hearing protection and the flashlight s u mentioned before.

[@bradleyfox9524]

That’s funny about the Wiha, I’ve literally always thought about them that way too for absolutely no reason or no experience with them haha thats crazy! And have thought recently of trying them!

[@SlowGT3]

Congrats on 10k!

What a great video Jeff. Lots of good info and products. The Chinese do have a history in ripping companies off, but I wonder if Mirka's patent expired. To sell in the US could indicate that? We'll see is Mirka sues.

[@improvedgarage]

I think the design is just different enough. I really don’t know to be honest. The shape of the mirka is pretty unique and the sm is really close. I’ll buy them and play when they when I can

[@wescat2]

@improvedgarage I hope they're great.bI know a lot of people love the current ones.

[@bradleyfox9524]

Yes it was pans video with the cubes. And secondly, I’ve got the Motegi traclite wheels on my 2020 STi and I deal with the same exact thing as far as every single socket being too thick! I was wondering about those when I saw Matt showing them! Thanks for the heads up on that! Definitely picking them up!!

I’m stilling using my Fluke 177 meter that I bought when I was a first year apprentice. Part of me wishes that I didn’t quit college, I’m lacking just 1 semester to get my electrical engineering degree, back in 90’s a senior electrical engineer for Marathon refinery only paid $55k a year and journeyman electrician made $70k. But I did learn that I’m much happier building and fixing things than sitting in an office for 30 years. I’m just not a Milwaukee battery tool fan, there’s a reason 90% or more of all contractors use Dewalt, both are exact same price but if you have an issue with dewalt the supply houses just replace with new tool instead of sending back and waiting for 6-8 weeks. But it comes down to preference because performance is negligible.

Im missing 3 semesters for EE myself, when my friends graduated i was making more than all of them, similar story. I had a fluke 179 in my cart for the last few months, the kit with the probes is almost $400 and i thought for as often as i use it ill just get some more leads for my craftsman, then i found this guy for $30 and figured i would try it out. I agree they are similar performance, my dad has dewalt and I started my son on the same path. I bought my first milwaukee tools when i was 18, my daughter still has my first m18 drill, i honestly dont know how the warranty process is because ive never had to make a claim, but i stopped using them professionally around 10 years ago.

Hey Jeff is there anywhere I can buy your merch? That hoodie looks great

[@BreezeMW]

My bad bro hadn’t made it to the end of the video yet.

I am considering OG yearly hex membership. Do you think it is worth it. Was planning to buy some pressure hose, active 2.0 etc ..

[@G.Dean100]

Could save the money and buy your hose with it. MTM always runs promotions and with Black Friday coming up you could catch greats deals without having to pay for any sort of membership.

[@improvedgarage]

I’ve had it for 3 or 4 years. It makes ordering things easier and I do it enough to make it pay for itself. I bought it because the savings on my pressure washer made it basically free. Inside the hex has good videos and some unfiltered stuff if you enjoy Matt’s content (which I do) the ITH Facebook group has tons of business professionals in there that are helpful to each other.
