Matco Tools: Lots of New Tools Purchased Today and Interesting Brake Job “Hacks”

[@adeymcwethy4981]

“Uhh oh, i just broke it!” “Its not broken, its just stuck” 😂😂

[@osvaldo8393]

There’s only 2 tools I’ve ever bought from the matco truck The flex head cut off tool and a set of precision panel clip pliers PCP920 Those things are great

[@anthonythompson4110]

Now that I think about it, the only time I can recall grabbing a 9mm socket, is when I dropped the set and had to pick them all up

[@colemanbonner]

9mm 12 point for VW pressure plate bolts. Just did a clutch on an old 2.0 Cabrio. First time I’ve ever used that socket.

[@scrambler350]

😂

[@scrambler350]

Chemical Plant, Oilfield, HVAC, personal pickup and car...motorcycles...lawnmowers...and not once can I ever remember actually using a 9mm socket or wrench for anything.

[@danieltubbs458]

Clay actually purchased a ratchet that wasn’t a locking flex-head 😯😯 I am shocked.

[@FGDIESEL1]

I work for Chrysler and i cant stand when the snap on sets are missing the 16! But there standard sets come with a 5/8s? So every time they have a deal on a set i have to negotiate a deal on separate 5/8s or 16 mm lol

[@smoove1756]

I used a 9mm deep socket today on an eaton transmission splitter air line fitting. I thought that was a coincidence lol. You guys are cool to watch!

[@kdao1007]

Catching up on all your old videos, since ive been a new fan. CLICK LIKE on all your videos. Take work to do and thanks for doing it. Good to watch every AM and PM

[@KoonTrucking]

Thank you!

[@anthonyvanvorst1610]

I like those locking extension i have the 1/2 extra long great for pulling transmission out of freighliners

[@KoonTrucking]

Yes I bought the long locking 1/2” to 3/8” for that reason alone works great with my 16mm socket I had to purchase separately since it doesn’t come in the set ! 🤣

[@matthewmartin7639]

I work in Aviation and we have one plane in our fleet that is made in France (not an airbus. A different French bird)and is mostly Metric. The brake Caliper bolts are a 9 mm. That's the only time I've ever used a 9 mm. And then the bolts in the scissor locks on the landing gear are a 13 mm.

[@scrambler350]

Was scrolling down in the comments to find someone who had actually came across a 9mm fastener - I guess now we know ONE THING that does! 😆

[@psfanboy79]

I'm addicted to your videos. I've been a printer at same company for 22 years and I'm thinking bout being mechanic, I'm pretty decent at it and I enjoy it, just worried that now that I'm 40 I'm too old to do something new.🤔

[@Toolaholic7]

That flaring tool set,made by Mastercool worth every penny.Brake job hacks,seen the compression fittings used on brake lines.Brake pads installed incorrectly,backwards metal to metal.

[@garryhardcastle5984]

I can relate to some of what you were saying about the sockets missing in sets. I don`t know about you but I could never leave a socket out of a set I always had to fill it in . It didn`t matter if I never used it it had to be there. As for the nine mm I can`t remember ever using one, but I must have because I got one. That hydraulic flaring kit is great . I would sure like to get one of those carbide scrapers. Thanks for the video.

[@dennisrieger1508]

9mm is used for the glass on Ford's ,the old Taurus wagon ,that's how long I have been doing collision work

[@brettedmonds5382]

Matco Friday well technically Saturday for us is the best

[@matthewslauenwhite7277]

People always ask about part numbers and I can't think of one time I ever needed one. I just call my tool guy say I need x tool make it happen. And when they show up it's there.

[@KoonTrucking]

I’m the same way. I call my guy tell him what i want and describe it to him and done

[@doctordiesel5467]

Same

[@allmarinemaintenance3714]

Tool guyd=sales men If they are any good they should be telling you part numbers

[@stever5887]

Well...If you want the tool, you should be willing to look up a number to insure he brings the one you need. If he gets the wrong one, you may have to wait another week (or longer) for it. You can find it in the paper catalogue or look it up online; that will take all of five minutes. In other words, meet the guy halfway; he'll appreciate the effort and you'll get what you need.

[@ryanhitchcock1059]

I asked my tool guys to keep me out of raffles and just discount the tools I wanna buy cause I’ll buy faster just for cheaper tools. They were perfect ok with that. Works great for everyone.

[@bigblock53]

on light duty vehicles the reman calipers and wheelcylinders sometimes have boogered threads on them because the rebuilder dont chase the threads. ive seen this alot so i will be getting this rethreading kit soon.

Get Wally one of them rolling magnets. The ones like the sweepers. He can just roll it around and collect his tools as well as the extra nuts & bolts. Lmao

[@KoonTrucking]

Haha we have one at the shop

[@prevost8686]

It’s gets so deep on the tool truck one needs chest waders before stepping onboard. The best tool man I ever had was on old Matco guy. RIP.

[@TheTheomax]

I've got the flair tool that Bill was looking at and it's real nice. If you are selling autographed shirts there might be some girls looking to buy the drawers Wally was wearing Friday.

[@dalebennett8169]

used 10mm and 11mm and 17 mm on metal lathe i worked on

[@WizzRacing]

I just did a Toyota that someone did a brake job on.. The damn bolts were missing that hold the calipers on. The only thing holding the calipers on was the rim....And the rim had some big grooves in them...I think they forgot to tighten the bolts...

[@KoonTrucking]

Ouch ! That sucks !

[@nevillepretorius8948]

Awesome video and great tool haul guys! Thanx Clay!

[@donaldhollums3278]

That Matco hose removal and installer set Mr. Bill bought looks like there are striking caps on the end. Y'all must have a booger of a time removing them hoses on those "Large Cars". I bought the two-piece hose pick set from my local Snap-on Rep. a while back, now I see Cornwell has their own two-piece set. The Cornwell version are pert near a spittin' image of Snap-on's except for different style and colored handles.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Pisses me of wen you buy a wrench or socket set and they leave out certain numbers so you have to pay 20 bucks for a socket

[@UrbanJedi]

That Flaring tool set is badass!

This is a funny segment love it, yall make me laugh on zip ties, hahahahaha

[@Toddford1568]

I work at a body shop and ive used a 9 mm one time

Funny you mention the 9mm socket I just used mine to do a reverse alarm on a freightliner. Other than that I don’t. Lol

[@mudbugsoff-road4081]

I am chrysler certified and you are correct...I know it’s hard to tell but it’s not oe we use white zip ties..lol

[@KoonTrucking]

Haha that’s awesome !

[@ClientGraphics]

Would love to pick up some Matco stuff, but don't have a dealer in our area.

[@heavydsunlimitedservice5741]

The reason why snap on skips 16mil is because it's the same size as 5/8". And obviously 19mil is a 3/4". So yes, snap on wants you to buy the sae set aswell

[@KoonTrucking]

I understand it’s the same size but if that’s the case they could leave out the 14mm and the 10mm and just use sae for those also ? It’s just annoying to have the plastic blow molded cases in your box and have to buy the 16mm separate and it has to ride on top between the 15mm and the 17mm looks kinda stupid if you ask me.

[@doctordiesel5467]

5/8 and 16 mm aren't really the same size close but not the same same goes for 19 mm to 3/4 14 mm and 9/16 are not the same either

[@airratchet7313]

I love Saturday Matco, I see the new shit and buy it Monday morning

[@localistmagic641]

Same here! Except my guy comes in the afternoon.

[@blakewaddell451]

I have used a 9mm and 11/32 for the side lights on a 2000 Freightliner classic also on one of the parts of the engine too.

[@trophbrwntrouthunter]

Lol evidently they are gonna buy one...I would love to know how many tools get ordered vs how many people ask part numbers....like google it....

[@KoonTrucking]

Yep 👍🏻 they fuss if I don’t give part numbers but a quick google search and 💥 boom 💥 just like magic it is there.

[@JacobNykiel]

Sunex tools makes impact swivel extensions ball detent

[@88FCRX7]

Wally owns an RX8 so that explains a lot

[@jamesberns9129]

Koon how long is your Matco ratchet with the orange handle and what is the length of that one that Michael said is a little longer? I had to change a starter today, and I need a longer ratchet.

[@mowers28]

I used a 8,9,10mm on a small engine I believe it was a 27hp Kawasaki or Briggs and stratton other than the flywheel the whole motor was put together with mostly 9mm

[@Alanthe918mobilemechanic]

I use both metric and standard measurements but metric is easier actually especially if ur building something and have to use math metric will actually add up normally where as standard comes out funky as hell.

[@gopher8310]

John Deere also has a lot of 16mm heads. Doesn’t make sense why snap on does that. Extra sale!

[@doctordiesel5467]

Chrysler jeeps are loaded with 16mm head size bolts

[@Jordan-ym5gf]

It's the same as the 5/8. My only guess is that the standard set has a 5/8 in it.

[@donaldpainter956]

9 mm is brake bleeder the older ford's use 9 mm on there window tracks and some other stuff

[@88FCRX7]

If you want the hydraulic flaring tool get the Master Cool set it's the generic version that Matco rebrands

[@biggiefitz6275]

Matco Michael, you can give me a cart or tool box. Either one would be fine lm not too picky! Cool video

[@adamhedges5905]

Best swivel sockets you can buy!! I have all 3 sets!!! But gearwrench makes a set that are the same for 150$ shipped!! Google gearwrench pinless swivel sockets!!

[@doctordiesel5467]

Not the same 3/8 gw are China made and are taller and bulkier 1/2 drive are the same as far as I've seen on gear wrench truck but they will be going over seas on them matco are all usa made and smaller for access

[@TinoR626]

The gearwrench x-core are made in china and are not the same. very cheap. Also matco has 5 sets of pinless and a few extras not in any set. That set wally got also has an 8,21,22 and 24 to complete the set.

[@randyhughes5160]

The one they leave out interchange with standard

[@KoonTrucking]

Why they put 10mm, 14mm, 19mm in ? They all interchange too

[@randyhughes5160]

If they went back to the 32 nds you only need standard

[@niteninja0133]

You better buy all the ball style extensions while you can before they all come with them junk hog rings that wear out after 2 uses Idk about that flash thing. Because are you paying for each car you gotta do? If so dealers charge 150hr so then you gotta charge more to make anything. And if you have a poor connection it will fail at programming. Cool idea but i would never buy something like that

[@doctordiesel5467]

I flash them myself only issue is I have to have multiple laptops because different memory criteria required for programming and different java versions needed like BMW ista and istap require over a hundred gb of free space to run I use drew tech cardaq it's expandable as techs changes you can buy add-on unit to keep going rather than by a new pass through device for example new Chrysler products use a 3 Rd can line now

[@THExLAWxMAN]

I've used my 9 mm once. On a poulan riding mower. So happy that I sold it. Biggest piece of $#!@ along with a Murray push mower.

Only time I use 9mm sockets is when a fastener is too rusted for the 10mm and the 3/8 to work.

I was just about to comment this. When the 3/8 is rounded a bit, try hammering on a 9.
