Matco Tools: Tools Requested By The Viewers! You Asked To See Them, Here They Are!

[@joerossi5967]

Even though nothing beats snap on Friday I will have to admit I really enjoy matco Michael's knowledge of the products he sells.

[@VDC_EDC]

Love your videos man..Matco Michael is the shit. Dude just keeps it real and seems super honest.

[@guillermojesse791]

InstaBlaster.

[@Toddford1568]

The half size flip sockets are amazing. Also on dash work if you get a small scratch you can throw a bit of heat and make the scratch blend in

[@soccerbros6956]

Gotta love that Michael knows his products. Great job guys!!!

[@biggiefitz6275]

Cool video. Great way to keep putting off going outside in 8 degrees and snow to fiddle with a monte carlo starter!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Found your channel searching for tool carts. I have been watching a ton of your videos every day, Love the channel!

[@KoonTrucking]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it

[@chrishyatt6369]

SOOOO TRUE ABOUT THE OLD HANDLES ON THE PRYBARS!!!! I broke one and took it to get it warranty and he brought me that new handle and I told him to keep it I would grind mine one down

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Those magnetic screw driver tips are a must have! Great video as always Clay

[@johnwickouski112]

I've been turning wrenches for a few years and I must agree my pry bars are made by matco from Early 2000s and I must say they are the best .

[@sidsnyder7023]

I personally have the 1/2 sized flip sockets from CTA... they’ve made life 10x easier for getting wheels off. Living in NW Pennsylvania, those chrome acorn lug nuts tend to swell during certain times of the year and I’ve had to trash 2 or 3 cheaper harbor freight sockets because they got seized inside them. Worth their weight in gold and not bad priced either ($45 for the set thru my MAC dealer).

[@dingo397]

Dear Mr Koon, I'm a new Diesel Tech Student and we watched the video you made with Bill adjusting the freeplay on the foot pedal. Before the video started the Instructor said, Now pay attention because these guy's are from the south and some things they say are hard to understand.....LOL I'm from Florida and have been watching your tool review's for quite some time, and I sure don't have a problem understanding what bill said, BUT !!! One question the students had was.... Please ask Bill, How many licks equal a full turn.....lmao. Thanks for the hard work you and the guy's put into your video's....respectfully Dan

[@KoonTrucking]

Hahaha thank you for watching ! I appreciate it.

[@Nt0759]

I'm thinking of calling a matco guy to start coming to my work in southern cali, I just hope they are awsome like Matco Michael!

[@timm5970]

What city are u in?

[@johnb1121]

I am so happy 2 find a Matco it took 4 years finally found 1 in NY 😱😱😱😱

[@nuclearexplosion5841]

1st Edit: 9:32 those tap sockets in the background can be life changing

[@djosbun]

Agreed. I bought one from McMaster-Carr in December for a work project and it was a HUGE time saver for the thread "improvement" we had to do on 200+ pieces of steel.

[@markgriffin5537]

Why not use a drill on low speed?? Tapped thousands of holes using a drill. Much quicker than using a ratchet and you sure don’t want a impact tapping.

[@dodgesportsman772]

Is that the older version without the ability to use a wrench on it? I just bought those because you can use any tap with it but the newer version is matco taps only.

[@donaldpainter956]

I've had the plastic trim tool set for over a year I wish it had a pouch or something to keep it together but I put them in a pencil box and my flip sockets are made by CTA and they come in a plastic case great tools

[@dakotablackburn3054]

+1 on that cap buster set at 8:30. Love em

[@danieltubbs458]

Thanks for asking for me Clay about the rail I appreciate it

[@javierosorio5169]

This is a great video Clay. Thank you .

[@arenaissanceishman6689]

I got my 1/4” blue handle locking flex head ratchet with 3/8 anvil in it yesterday! 😍🥵

[@jacob2483]

Cool video! Love seeing the latest and greatest tools!

[@oldman3388]

Those filp sockets are great I have both the half size is a must for dodge lugs. Clay you have to show more about those brownies every week I see them and for two days I want brownies.🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@truckerpeterose]

I’ve come across stripped bolts I’d gladly pay $30 to get out. I purchased these from my Matco truck and fortunately I have not needed them yet. Just an FYI Autozone is now selling those extractors for $9.99 per pack. They split up the sizes so you need the small and large set to get the complete set like Matco. I believe they are a buck or two cheaper under a commercial account so it comes out to about half the price.

[@googlesux9512]

Using your foot or the palm of your hand saves knuckle busting incidents when the pry bar slips

[@KoonTrucking]

Exactly!

[@deespasojevic3013]

Good 1

[@josetamayo3617]

Good channel man thank you 👏

[@danielatkinson8090]

Thanks for all the videos! Keep ‘em coming

[@chriswilliams1595]

Thanks for the video clay we're still in lock down here in the UK so no tool trucks visiting the shop so watching your videos are a good fix . Keep safe boys

[@connorbroyles3369]

They need to make a tool for easy removal of the metal jacket on those lug nuts

[@timm5970]

Just put the wrong size socket on and rip away. The casing will typically get eaten and come off

[@connorbroyles3369]

@@timm5970 not in my experience they just spin.I usually have to get a hammer and small chisel once I've punched the center out to cut it off and expose the nut underneath

[@alvee2387]

I love 3rd party Matco Tools

[@Jpilgrim30]

Definitely the Fords on that blend door actuator wrench. The one on the F150s behind the radio will test your patience unless you have that tool.

[@upnorth5465]

Thank goodness they are going back to the ball detent. I hate that hog ring on the newer extensions. I will be trading mine in as soon as I see some on my dealers truck.

[@zannusx]

I didnt even know that actuator tool existed. I would take on bolt out on the fords and then snap the actuator off to get the other one.

[@colemanbonner]

Just did that last week on my grandpa’s Grand Marquis lol

[@Beastmode358]

I’ll say it again the old Matco pry bars are the absolute best!!!

[@ajracing6631]

I never had Matco prybars but I have the snap on set and each time I had to warranty one they gave me the new style lite saber handle one which in my opinion sucks!! So I ended up getting the Mac set of prybars and I absolutely love them!!!

[@asmautollc]

Agree completely on the extensions. Love the locking, avoid the hog ring.

[@henryg683]

I think Michael and his bride are awesome 😎!!!!!

[@Toolaholic7]

I like the older Matco prybar handles too before this new handle.My longest Matco is my go to most of the time and have not bent it yet

[@dylaningle8204]

love love love the extractor rings!!!!! i bought the titan brand i believe it is from the parts house one day, when i went looking for a hail mary to get a drain plug out that an idiot used slip joint pliers on and rounded completely off. picked up both sets on sale for $6 a piece and came back and popped it right off! they’re amazing! i’m sure they’re made by titan, judging by the looks they’re identical, just rebranded.

[@donaldpainter956]

I bought a set of those plastic extracted tool sets but never used them

[@taintoolreview4188]

On of my blend doors constantly ticks and it’s the hardest one to get to. I need to order that blend door wrench.

[@workingmanpatriot8760]

Turbo and that def "burn can" high temp stuff comes to our jobshop regularly, techs that farm it out to us might try those socket extractors.

[@masonkirby2443]

Happy Saturday Clay and Michael!

[@jrbpit1]

Happy Saturday!!

[@tjwillians5686]

I must be weird I love the new matco prybar handles 😂

[@johnblodien7257]

Hey I work at the Jamestown plant they just put out a new color meltic tan looks cool

[@KoonTrucking]

Sweet ! The Jamestown carts look awesome BTW

[@SPMech1]

Another good one .........thanks Clay ! ! ! 👍

[@pelotas56]

Hands down the best trim tool is bluepoints PBF T10. Aka "superman's finger nail".

[@colemanbonner]

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. HALLELUJAH BROTHER YOU TOO HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

I like the new prybars from Matco and Mac but I got small hands the new handle I hate is from fav co snap on

[@justinmaultz7804]

I got super lucky and got a 2pc set of the old style Handel from my matco guy , also hate the snap on Handel an old timer I work with has the hard handle snap on set wish I could have those aswell

[@codyrobertson4630]

Really like to clips of the tools

[@johnscheffler1514]

Love the video. All your tool guys are so cool. I wish there was a way to put their name or dealer number or something in on a online order so matco or snap would know how we found ouy about the tools, for those of us that dont have dealers.

[@coreysuttles1362]

I love my matco day!

[@asmautollc]

The trim tools with those tapered ends really do work great for dash and trim. Granted I’ve got the yellow Pittsburgh set, not the Matco, and they’re actually pretty good.

[@MrSpartanicus]

I just got the large lisle set, they’re amazing! Tools that are worth it for sure

[@davidwalle5025]

good review. Need Micheal to be able to sell outside his area, like Mr. Joe and Jersey Nick.

[@towboatjeff]

Michael is matco and they wont let their dealers sell outside their routes. Joe and nick are independent dealers and can sell to anyone.

[@TheTheomax]

I bought a set of the extractor rings when you first showed them and they are still new in the package! I haven't needed them which is the best part. The blend door wrench would be nice to have which means I'll go to Matco.com and get the part # and price. I have two fingers that know how to type maybe one of them can hit the add to cart button.

[@asmautollc]

The half size lug nut sockets are great. If you don’t have those, you need a full set of extra thin wall sockets. We run into quite a few 22mm lug nuts that are now 22.5 and you can’t always fit a 23mm in there safely. People go to the discount lube shop, get their nuts blasted on and warped, and it takes the Matco 2779 to get em off by the time it gets to our shop.

[@danieldelpha1315]

I got the rings from orielys they worked for me too

[@ryanhitchcock1059]

Hated the old handles. Love the new ones. Mac handles are also good in my opinion. Everyone’s different though.

[@christiansonnal9430]

What was the part number on those half in lug nut socket set at 8:34 ??

[@KoonTrucking]

I will show this this week and get you the part number.

[@menjicar]

Matco ADV socket say made in the one and only Taiwan

[@Bigglenndaddy]

I'm in the middle of switching out my pry bars for the new handles and I kind of prefer the new handles the old ones start to flake off and the rubber gets too soft.

[@altonbarbee8864]

I was the one having trouble with the scan tool. I mostly do alignments and brake work. I could not get it to do any epb maintenance mode or steering angle resets. It read codes fine, just the reset functions would not work.

[@KoonTrucking]

Call Matco Michael it message him on Facebook or Instagram

[@joachimjohan1215]

hey have you ever heard about the XTOOL X100 PAD2? u know if its bi directional? AND the Ancel X6 OBD2 Diagnostic?? (supposedly does some bi directional controls)?? cheerz!

[@kaemanstewart8899]

Do you have the part number for the half-size flip sockets

[@aaronruiz5277]

Sweet tool sets.. I wish I had a Matco dealer like yours, my deal is just an ass hole and won’t warranty my Matco tools which I only have two matco 1/2 ratchets and if he does he gives me a hard time, all my business goes to Snap on instead..

[@xXHAMnCHEEZXx]

PN on the half size flip socket set

[@87FoRunner]

GOO-GLE-DOTCOM

[@dakotahughes3003]

What's the part number on those flip sockets ? Both sets

[@MrJwestman]

Any chance I can get the part number for the 19-19.5 MM, 21-21.5 MM, 22-22.5 MM socket set? I would appreciate it thank you.

[@juliansilva2575]

Can you do a review on the roll carts I’m currently a lube tech and running out space with my small roll cart and thinking about getting a JSC483 or a JSC753

[@KoonTrucking]

We have them on here. I showed my slide top snap on roll cart and if you look on this channel you will see Bills toolbox tour where he has a snap on flip top and Wally shows his Mac slide top roll cart. Mine is the only one with separate videos so if you type in Koon trucking roll cart tour you can see it. Then type in Koon trucking bill toolbox tour or Koon trucking Wally toolbox tour you can see them all

[@timm5970]

What cart do you have? Chances are you need to organize better before getting a bigger cart

[@nakamahaki650]

Ask Him about student discount bundles like the diesel tech master set can he do an in depth explanation of what comes in this looking to buy cash but need to know what I’m getting

[@dakotajohnson2182]

I’d disagree with the hex grip extractor rings being the cheapest thing on the truck worth your money. I’d say the Magic Siphon Hose ($20; MSH1A) is the best bang for your buck and worth the investment!

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s true. I don’t own the Matco one but I like them

[@donaldpainter956]

Ford chrome lugnut are the worst ones to swell up to a half size

[@jeffhurley3548]

Speaking of which when are you going to do another live stream

[@KoonTrucking]

I did one last week

[@williamstarklauf6085]

Ya should have brought your broken pry bar to snap on they would replace bar you would still have good handle 😉😉

[@KoonTrucking]

Well the snap on pry bar I am talking about is a Snap On pry bar, the only thing I had left was the actual handle and it didn't get warrantied.

[@DavidDavid-qf6ji]

I’m trying to get the half size lug nut socket set anyone know what’s the part number or what’s they called because I can’t find them on the Matco website

[@juanolivera9361]

What ratchet is better snap on or matco?

[@mecalpsha4473]

Matco slimmer, balanced better and recessed lever (Snapon is GREAT but Matco one gets in more places).

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s all personal preference on which is best. I preferred the locking mechanism on the Marco and thin head and comfort grip. But each their own.

[@everytoolashammer9427]

How do I get a matco truck to come to my shop?

[@tomprescott394]

Jobber company that doesn’t make any of their hand tools just like Mac tools, only snappy and Cornwell make tools here in America with American steel

[@Mark-ih2qe]

Part number on the blend door tool?

[@KoonTrucking]

I showed it on the video ?

[@tctwg1]

4:38

[@garrettwilamowski1417]

[@charlespayne1909]

[@juanolivera9361]

2nd

[@firebirdjohnfiveseven315]

Halfe size flip sockets part number pleas

[@KoonTrucking]

We covered it last week or the week before

[@tonychandler8908]

What is the P/N on the blend door ax.

[@KoonTrucking]

It’s in the video I even stopped to be sure camera focused on it

[@andrewscott8892]

People need to stop being lazy and demanding part numbers, it's not hard to Google it even go to the website, you have a dam computer in your hands all day

[@KoonTrucking]

👍🏻

[@dodgesportsman772]

Go back but keep it american made
