Yourself, Michael and Hamilton helped me make my mind up of becoming a Cornwell dealer. Matco and snap on has a good grip on my area. I didn’t want to go 45 minutes to start my route. So thank you and the other two for showing the inside working of a tool truck....

[@KoonTrucking]

Good deal ! I need some Cornwell stuff !

[@steveharvey1876]

Those cigarette lighter terminal adapter are great for cars with a battery in the trunk and an electric opener, you can trickle charge the battery to get the trunk open. Cheers!

[@dodgesportsman772]

I love Matco Micheal. I really enjoy how he explains his tools and what they do and how they help. I just send my Matco guy the parts numbers to the lug nut and the grounder. Awesome

[@kjhkj]

You should try and do a video that 2 or 3 of the tooltruck drivers get together and tall about the best basic tools to have and why. Would make for a awesome video

[@bud1014]

Matco needs to sell calendars with just that little lady's facial expressions. Maybe one of all the tool truck wives facial expressions.

[@KoonTrucking]

Haha

[@thefogisgone3662]

Lol. When clay started talkin about workin in the sleeper of a truck.. she was tryin not to laugh. And i have a slight feelin she thought lot lizards have no trouble finding ground in the sleeper of a truck lmao maybe im just that messed up idk

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Clay, Michael and Mrs. Michael Thank you for another Great Video. Those are great ideas. Again thank you

[@coreysuttles1362]

I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE DOING ELECTRICAL ON FREIGHTLINERS!!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!

[@C.Franco.]

That oil filter wrench is rebadged VIM. The grinding/cutting wheels are 10000000% worth the money, I have a few of the 3 and 2 inch. Also worth the money are the Lenox diamond cutting wheels.

[@jamesford1096]

Those wheel stud installers are worth the money! Very handy at the auto/ tire shop.

[@markgriffin5537]

Let Micheal know I liked him highlighting tools like he did. Keep that up. I like the way he tries to educate.

[@S3M3E3]

Wish I could get my hands on one of those jackets.

[@stevenwdoolittle1195]

Them plugs are so usefull for the car audio side and off road community too. Great for power inverters and lights

[@jduv6455]

I installed house wingnuts on my 1999 escalade. 3yrs ago. They still work. 😄

[@ishakzaghari]

Best day of the week! Those jackets are nice , have to get one!

[@robertandreoli9764]

Michael is one good guy on information

[@stefanczechorskidds5536]

Those two make a great couple; it really comes through on video. Congrats.

[@javierosorio5169]

Great Matco dealer .

[@samgilmer7345]

I bought the oil filter pliers last Monday they are awesome!!! Dealer only had two left.

[@CAJones-bu6tu]

Every time y’all discuss diag routines and tips I learn something new.

[@lewydmusic]

Excellent video! Love Matco, they've consistently had the BEST dealers!! I love those oil pliers I wish I could get some

[@nickhouze8849]

I love power probes..I have 2, couldn't imagine not having it.saves so many headache's

[@dalebennett8169]

I just bought some Matco semi deep impact socket set and some pliers for the plastic pins and pink handle plier set. This my first purchase of Matco tools. I see a lot more stuff I want.

[@nuclearexplosion5841]

Matco makes some seriously good tools

[@tonychandler8908]

I got the oil filter wrench this past week and I love it

[@isaacharo5501]

The printing on those wires are laser printed on there. Next time that ink smears off, get your UV light and your glasses. You'll still be able to read the wire with UV light.

[@01firstlast]

That’s a good tip

[@papabrown3919]

Damn Issac hero over here

[@sumwear7123]

I plan to be as good as a dealer as this guy. I'm just starting out. Very excited.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

The ground fault is priceless

[@Auggy913]

Yeah I got one of those auto oil filter wrench from my truck on Thursday. I use it quite a bit except it doesn't fit in most places but so far 80% I've been using it and I work at it mostly Quick Lube

[@Lyokofan24]

Try working on Chrysler’s wiring... they label there wires but what they are good at doing at the inline connectors they will change the wire colors. Your start with a blue and yellow, than it will change to light green with brown...

[@petebernier429]

I have the 2" and3" diamond cutoff wheels and I love them. I hated my Milwaukee M12 angle die grinder till I put the 2" on it and now it's always on it.

[@coopersloan3938]

Butt connectors are better than soldering in most automotive situations like inline stranded wire splices. Solder is for fixed position applications. A proper crimp is as good connection, and better durability than solder which is prone to cold joints and failure in flying wires.

[@meanodustino9563]

I am surprised that you have tools running around on a Saturday!? Not in Canada

[@davidwalle5025]

Good pocket change items. Keep the videos coming.

[@goldhunter9641]

Dang It Clay, I Liked The Old Intro Music Still The Best But It Would Be Cool, With The New Intro Video Clips🔧🔩🛠️🏳️🏁🇺🇸

[@uncannyswag8703]

Nice that Matco put you in the flyer!

[@peteh4312]

As a former f16 avionics technician I love electronic troubleshooting and the f16 had ever wire was white whit a number printed number every 18 inches

[@markiefufu]

I'm halfway decent at troubleshooting electrical, but all white wires would drive me crazy! But then again, the black writing is easier to read on white wires. My bus seems to have all dark colored wires and reading those numbers are tough. Lol.

[@iamtheliberated]

That is borderline sadistic

[@trrmbath97]

These guys have the best tool truck pictures to the right of the flag.

[@cooter.malone]

2 - Travis beat me by 1 second!!!

[@S3M3E3]

Wish that jackets were still available.

[@KoonTrucking]

They should be coming back soon. Usually around September they bring them out

[@gregcothrum4045]

Great video y'all have a great weekend and stay safe 👍

[@lilskittelz8514]

Love the videos keep up the great work!!

[@brandong1990]

I love my cut off wheel I think I purchased it in 2017 and it finally broke the day after you talked about it on here the first time it was still the same size and cut just fine but the metal around the arbor shattered

[@braydenmalovich9457]

What would have been nice to see is the test light with the volt meter Marco sells I picked one up cause I can’t afford a power prob yet

[@arthurwilson5757]

Volvo trucks white and black wires drives me nuts

[@Terry_Baker]

Just ordered the hole saw kit in Matco flyer #2 for 2021..

[@Toolaholic7]

Those cut off wheels,wear your safety glasses and glad I did one one day.Was cutting the locking tab off a spring type hose clamp and part of of the cut off wheel came apart.Was on my pnuematic cut off tool when it came apart and was lucky it didn't injure me.Don't need the pieces of them in your eyes.Seen a picture of one that went into the safety glasses missing the person's eye.Another with electrical is people opening up wiring harnesses with a razor blade,do damage to the wiring.I have a couple sewing tools,seam rippers I use to open up wiring harnesses that don't do damage to the wiring.

[@markiefufu]

Never thought about a using a seam ripper. Great idea! I usually use a dull utility blade or small electrical snips.

[@trangia12]

No one has posted how cute his wife is. Lucky guy.

[@atoutdoors4649]

I picked the oil filter wrench up after seeing the video and its great really bites good just hard to get in tight spaces.if they could make it with a angled head or handle it would be great but not sure that would work with the design.

[@VDC_EDC]

That power and ground cig plug would be useful..I currently have a male OBD2 plug with wires coming out of pin 4, 6, 14, and 16 and insulated female spades on the ends so I can stick a meter lead in and it’ll stay. Gets me ground, power and able to test CAN wires.

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s a good idea

[@dirtrider3526]

My distributer had those oil filter wrenches. I wasnt interested bcuz alot of filters u need that angle. 45 or 90 but now I'm regretting not getting one. Also those blue handle ratchets he had a deal for 2 3/8ths n a 1/4 as a bundle. I love blue but I dont like that shade. I do love the feel of matco ratchets tho. I've never owned one just used a few n so damn smooth to use!!!. Our Matco dealer randy is a good guy n I enjoy talking to him on the truck n b.sing about tools n cars. My boss does a lil inside tho when he sees me go out to the truck for 15 mins tho lmao. My boss is a great guy tho

[@SPMech1]

lots of good info today ! ! ! 👍

[@ronanderson1816]

Nice video! Mr. Koon can you please consider a review of Sonic tools???

[@KoonTrucking]

I’ve never seen them ?

[@jdtvco]

great video and a very good dealer in my opinion...

[@KoonTrucking]

We are all fans of yours down here.

[@robertbowser1883]

Favorite video yet!

[@KoonTrucking]

Thank you

[@jeramy2398]

I have run into more problems with people cold soldering or getting iron to hot burning wires than I've run into bad but connectors. Plus if see a but connectors know its first place to look. I've pulled tons of wire nuts out of forklifts tractors and even trailer wiring

[@jameswatkins7278]

Don’t forget scotch locks 😂

[@paulmendenhall5226]

I hade to rewire a trailer a week ago someone had put wire nuts underneath the middle of the trailer i guess a long time ago and the wires were corroded i work at night so its hard to see everything well a 20 min job turned in to about 3 hours so i hate wire nuts please keep them inside were they belong

[@bencleveland6229]

Hey Clay, love these videos. I know you touched on it a little bit, but do you know of any resources for learning to read schematics? I'm getting better with them but any other tips you may have would be great. Thank you!

[@KoonTrucking]

Mitchell 1 and Identifix have good wiring diagrams.

I just bought some stuff from berne ive never heard of them but there stuff looks top quality so we will see

[@dutchynehtam]

Similar to Walls brand. Good overall brand I think. Not quite USA Carhartt quality but it’s up there for sure.

[@motorgrader5]

guess ive been out of the game too long but that stud installer looks trick never seen one b4 might have to get one.

What's the part number on that button up shirt Michael is wearing?

[@charlieretherford]

Hay clay can you do a review on that disc so we can see it work and exciting experience with it? Please if you have the time

[@KoonTrucking]

Yeah I can do something like that. Maybe even on Instagram

[@charlieretherford]

I don't have Instagram sorry but yes would be cool

[@dougharris2875]

I looked on the Matco site and couldn't find that jacket, don't know the dealer in my area.

[@niteninja0133]

I've already placed my order for the long neck 1/4" electric ratchet and all the black with blue handle ratchets can't wait

Do they finally have the long neck 1/4 available?

I showed the tag on them ?

Pretty sure all dealers have them they are all over Instagram

[@conductormike3step]

Michael is a good dude for sure! Wish our Matco guy didn't go bottom up! I was actually going to do my first truck tour with him the same week he quit.

[@jadeolin8514]

Someone may have already mentioned it but if anyone is interested in that power/ground outlet adapter and don't have access to a Matco truck, it is a rebranded Lisle part. Part #32150 $15 on amazon

[@billylayton119]

Got my blue ratchet Thursday

[@KoonTrucking]

Nice

[@jackbennett2183]

White and yellow lucky jcb only gives you yellow wires for everything

[@haroldberwanger3298]

I wish Marco or lisle would make a lighter plug that uses an LED instead of the bulb and use a quick connection like what they use on a speaker box or make it so you can unscrew the post but make it so you can only screw the right size so you dont mix up positive from ground. Like to use something like that to test gps or other aftermarket.

[@jeremy10456]

I’m going to buy one of those cut off blades this week. Two years ago I sliced my face open right under my eye and had to get 10 stitches from a cheap blade flying off and hitting me about an inch under my eye.

[@mikevanessen8687]

I had one come apart and got my leg. 20 staples later I was good to go but I still don’t like to use them and that was about 15 years ago.... stay safe!

[@djosbun]

Good morning Clay. Thank you for another excellent video! May I make a request for a video? I am in the market for an underhood light and am leaning towards the Snap On ECUHA158A (that's the new 2000 lumens project underhood light). I also like the MCL045M1 (that's the foldable light bar with the sensor). I'd love it if you did a comparison video or just gave your thoughts on them. Have a great weekend, Clay.

[@KoonTrucking]

Just wait a few days. When you see this new Astro light ..... all else fall really short

[@KoonTrucking]

I will have a video soon just waiting on clearance for it

[@djosbun]

@@KoonTrucking Now you have me excited!! Where's my wife.......

[@traviskaehne906]

Micheal what is the part number or code for the green pocket knife that you always use is cause I’ve very interested in one

[@thedude4762]

Maybe i havent watched/seen it but have you or could you do a video for top 10 tools for lube and tire/general service tech i keep finding stuff i could use but think id find a few things i would need for it no matter what i still like watching ya alls videos oh and watching this a while after this video came out that oil filter wrench was a one hit wonder the problem is theyre a great idea but way to bulky and cant fit in a lot of tight spaces

[@sunnyb4670]

Will the match dealers switch out the red handle 3/8 ratchets to blue like just the soft Handel part ? I think you said yes few video ago but want to make sure my dealer said no

[@rockstarfan886]

The orange one is still not available on matcotools.com only green is available

[@davidmeeks9227]

Mac I wish I could get a macro guy to come to my house

[@MagWire8]

Combines use ALOT of the same colored wires with numbers printed on them which is great until the harness casing gets dirt in it and it wears all the numbers off. Or I’d the wires are exposed by a bulk head connector or something and the sun can get it it will bleed out all the wire colors and the numbers

[@donaldpainter628]

How can we get a matco truck to come to the shop I work at now I just started 3 weeks ago and all they have is snapon and he don't do truck tool bill you have to apply for 10 thousand snapon credit account just to get a rachet or anything

[@jeffhurley3548]

Freight shakers suck at least for wiring 😂

[@richardmartin7179]

I absolutely hate when someone does electrical that shouldn't! Had a boat recently that came to the shop and someone had swapped the harnesses for nav. Lights and the docking lights. To top it off, they tapped into one of the light harnesses to hook the horn up so when I swapped the light harnesses back to the correct set up it killed the horn. I ended up cutting the wires running to the horn and running dedicated wires from the console to the horn to quickly skip all the messed up wiring and not create a new wiring problem!

[@TWR358]

WooHoo!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Have you noticed that the new vehicles are doing away with cigarette lighter plugs and just putting in usb ports.
