I am a new dealer in Arkansas starting my route late January. This video was super helpful regarding how good dealers handle warranty. Much appreciated!!

[@Angelo-fo8de]

You guys are awesome . Excellent content!

[@KoonTrucking]

Thank you

[@erictech201]

That Ford tool is for installing that crank pulley. I use the old crank bolt cut in half and use a air hammer to install the crank and then run the rest down then torque it. Those bolts are torque to yield lol

[@austingoleman9431]

Man I need that coil tester

[@roadrunner1580]

MATCO RATCHETS ARE AWSOME. They do not reverse direction and skip when your trying to break a stubbrn bolt free!!! snap on ratchets do unfortunetly!!

[@chrisabella624]

That gold rush beef jerkey is awesome i get it from my cornwell Dealer. No mactco or mac in my area.

[@unclebob4208]

Matco Michael has sold a few tools to this greasy service guy. I love my neck light! I have the luxury of overnighting warranty or consumables to my customers; and physically return the old ones when I'm near them next. Perhaps the tool trucks could do that? It's cheaper than you think.

[@altonbarbee8864]

I just bought that coil tester today. I hope i don't regret it.

[@ianthompson2802]

My matco dealer warranty out a flashlight that may or may not have been ran over by a d8k dozer

[@dannydeakins4938]

Ask your tool truck dealers to get there trucks scaled on a car scale fully loaded. That would be interesting.

[@whatyoumeanthirsty6132]

Ive lost a flashlight before. Next time they came in for service i got it back. Stuck to the muffler for 2 months.

[@jamesford1096]

Miss my old Marco dealer. Every week he would come up to everyone & ask if you had anything for him to warranty today. Can’t say the same thing for dealers.

[@james.flyingcigarco]

I only have a cornwell dealer but he is great. He will warranty any cornwell tool. Also flexible on payments and has a good selection.

[@OmgItsCAndT]

Myself,I like Cornwell better than matco

[@dieseltech7319]

I agree completely

[@drwisdom1]

When I hear Mr. Koon and the Matco rep talking about tool box trim colors it reminds me of women talking about expensive shoes. The worst color for ski jackets is white because it shows dirt and is hard to clean. So I figured white tool boxes are for white collar mechanics, the type that work indoors on non-dirty things like washing machines, not vehicle mechanics who work on dirty things in a dirty shop.

[@KoonTrucking]

So you never wipe off your box because it is a dark color and just leave the grease on it?

[@drwisdom1]

@@KoonTrucking Well, my KRL722 is in the basement where I get a little dust but never any grease. I am sorry to report that after 7 years it is still like new. I also restore vintage Snap-On tool boxes. After over 30 years of shop use they can be super greasy. But they clean up to be almost like new as long as they aren't rusty. Because of that I believe Snap-On red is the best tool box color so that everything matches.

[@nickmcguigan555]

Loves the videos keep up the good work. It would be nice if you could do a tool box tour of your new snap on box. I would love to see the set up 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mecalpsha4473]

White with orange trim for the win! *PLEDGE furniture polish* is the best to use

[@ryanwhalen3378]

Love these longer videos!

[@bobbygarrett9588]

My MATCO guy is as good as they get, He rebuilt my EZ Red 3/4" ratchet that I purchased off my MIA Snap On Guy. And he didn't charge me a dime. That is why I am a MATCO fan !

[@danieltubbs458]

You are absolutely right Clay! I have a Black box and that black color is like a magnet for dust.

[@oldman3388]

Its all about respect from the tool guy and the tech if you both have respect for each other things will go just fine.And white with blue or red trim🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@dalebennett8169]

can you talk about the Matco non slip socket sets. I seen them online. i would like know more about them. Thank you.

[@KoonTrucking]

Yes I can ask him about them next week

[@airratchet7313]

That's why I went with white, I should have a hutch and locker next week.

[@mt1885]

LED light in there you can find your tools way easier - no idea why anyone would want a dark color tool box.

[@ronanderson1816]

Well said, you teach what you tolerate!

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Michael is a good dude. Our Snap On guy is like him. We've asked him for certain pieces and if he didn't have it but it was in a set he has, he has no problem opening up a set to pull the piece out. That there keeps me buying stuff from him. Much to my wallet's dismay.

[@leelavinder2231]

Great information Michael!

[@anthonymartinez2982]

We call that the clay Koon blue over here in jersey I’m sure no one will disagree with me I know a few ppl that call it Clay Koon blue when we’re talking Matco

[@motorgrader5]

i had a snap on dealer that was a real tightwad with warranty and im not a monkey with stuff he angered me so much that i bought alot of stuff off the mac truck he was aways fair about the warranty so alot of my stuff is mac it wasnt until recently i bought stuff of the snap on truck again

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Michael is a TOP NOTCH dealer!

[@jshelby78]

wow wish I had a Matco Dealer, Michael is an honorable trustworthy guy!, another great video Clay! I appreciate your hard work!! always enjoy the videos and learning from you!

[@williamhall7165]

Your one of my new go to for tool info. Love the vids. 24 year tech and have way to much invested in tools. LoL. I have a great matco dealer and a great Cornwell dealer. Our area hasn’t had a Snapon rep in so long I don’t have very many of there stuff left. Went through hell dealing with mail in warranty wit a broken tip on a Phillips screwdriver and a ratchet. Three attempts to get it right.

[@dananderson8254]

Always like the conversations with Matco Michael wish we had a Matco dealer not as fun ordering on line

[@robertbowser1883]

That is a fact Jack! Great video man.

[@2339ju]

That coil tester looks just like an electrical "hot stick" I have a couple of them for 220 just lights up when you get power might work the same way

[@mramseyISU]

j2339 I’ve got a couple for using around the house too. The first house I bought was wired by a blind, drunk Amish I think and I was always fixing wires around the house.

[@altonbarbee8864]

I tried the one for home electrical but didn't detect on coil. It detects voltage the matco one detects the magnetic field generated by the coil.

[@josephpuchel6497]

The Matco blue is definitely nice including the flex ratchet. The Matco tool truck closest to me drives around on the empty side. Never has anything. Nice video

[@TheInfectedWreck]

Those coil pack tester are just the regular AC/DC detector that you can buy in any hardware store for 10$.

[@davidmendez9854]

My Matco dealer suck he dont even come to the shop no more.. if you needed warranty he would get it back to you in 1yr ... I have some tools that need warranty but no matco truck :(

[@KoonTrucking]

That sucks

[@butler386]

Fantastic philosophy for a tool guy. Unfortunately some places put so many restrictions on tool guys they are afraid to make decisions that help him or her sell and warranty products. Those white boxes are not going to be that good if anyone smokes in the shop. I know my white under ware always has nicotine stains in them. Thanks for the video.

[@robertandreoli9764]

Michael is the best Clay same for you 👍

[@justintimmerman3069]

I use a balanced installer like that for the ford coyote and gt500’s

[@wrenches8896]

I've had pretty good luck with having good tool dealers, especially matco tool dealers, they never hesitated to warranty the product they sell. The new matco dealer i got back in January is the best ove had so far, fought tooth and nail to get warranty on my revelx, that I didn't even get through him. That speaks volumes alone.

[@nathanc2952]

I have that coil tester. Fast and easy to use.

[@thathornyvette2358]

I would seriously be willing to fly from Alaska to buy from this guy Every week...

[@harold6863]

I love your channel and I can tell Michael has done this job. I still waiting my blue flex head. I run an an 18 bay shop wands tool so we can’t get inuk

[@kylekicker5226]

Love that e vids just bought my first snapon toolbox a 26" Greetings from Australia

[@KoonTrucking]

It does suck you guys can’t get Matco over there! You can’t order it off eBay ? Or it just can’t be shipped over there ?

[@CumminsTech2020]

I ran over my 1/4in Milwaukee 12v hex impact with a full garbage truck and it still works perfectly haven't had an issue with it since and have no intentions of sending it in either till something else fails.

[@gregcothrum4045]

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

[@Toolaholic7]

My dad kicked out one Matco dealer out he had.Had a broken socket and the dealer would not warranty it.Matco is good with warrantying broken tools without a dealer,do it online.Had to set up an online account to do it up to 15 tools.Recieved 13 of the 15 replacements sending in 15 tools.Another way to check for a bad coil is switch it to another cylinder.If there is a change,coil is bad.Midwest Tool Review did buy one of those blue handled ratchets and mentioned you in the video he put out

[@patty1542]

Thanks guys 🔥

[@MrJoshvanlandingham]

Clay has got to be Crippin!!! All blue everything 😂😂😂😂

[@KoonTrucking]

Haha

[@davidwalle5025]

Good video. If you read conments on you tube warranty is a big issue with tool dealers. If you take care of your cistimers they will take care of you.

[@evanperry3699]

My mac and snap-on dealer are great, fully stocked trucks, willing to give me discounts for buying stuff outright. Our Matco guy doesn't have much on his truck so I'd never buy from him in the past. I ordered something small to see how it would be and a month and no tool. I'm glad I started small, because it obviously wasn't going to end with me being happy regardless.

[@chancgoshorn2006]

I have a black and orange 6s and a black classic series and they both show every spec of dust. I use quick spray detailer on they daily. It’s part of the process when I clean my tools at the end of the day

[@brianreese9318]

I love the flex matco and heard gear wrench factory makes matcos ratchets for em is why the gears swap except the dual spring for the pal I love my Mac axis and my snap on they all have their uses with me.

[@tctwg1]

Damnit Clay. I need that ignition tester now lol

[@DDescalchuk57]

I ordered the blue it’s damn nice but the blue box and black trim

[@mramseyISU]

I’ve broken the pawl on my long snap on 3/8 ratchet before. I had to fight with my dealer to get it fixed. I’m glad he’s not my snap on guy anymore.

[@BigWill3855]

My neighbor is a matco dealer and won’t warranty anything from me because I didn’t buy it from him. Therefore I won’t buy anything from him either.

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s crazy it doesn’t cost him anything. I wouldn’t buy squat from him either.

[@jeramy2398]

Thats just a nocontact voltage tester can pick them up at home depot made by fluke or klein

[@charlesfrasher723]

I have a klein i wonder if it will work the same

[@altonbarbee8864]

They won't work I tried.

[@charlesshankle3178]

My Matco and Cornwell guy's have been first rate to me. I am lucky my Cornwell guy was a 30yr tech and former shop owner. My Matco guy stands by his warrantee without fail. I have it good

[@jeramy2398]

I've got a 18 inch brass pipe that slides perfect over my 6" flex 1/4" matco ratchet that have had since 08 never had an issue with it. With in reason of course I'll go up ratchets if can. I did have anvil snap by ball but that was someone else using it and think it was operator error

[@garypayton9004]

Do i spy a harbor freight box

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Put it on a catscale

[@sebastiang9435]

How much does thag ratchet cost

[@mecalpsha4473]

*WHITE* is way easier to see inside the box to as all of the tools are easier to see.

[@danieltubbs458]

That's why most of the tool companies sell a box with black drawer liners. Think about it, if you cant see what tools you have, you are more likely to purchase a tool you dont need.

[@mecalpsha4473]

*MATCO* for the win!

[@garenwilson4964]

I have a paddle style COP tester and one of those like shown in this video.

[@scaryhorrormoviee]

I had snap on and matco seller not eschange me my lifetime waranties like theyll just hot around the bush and you know why because i was done paying my bills so they no longer wanted to change my broken tools

[@nr3rful]

Used to sell Snap On....here in the north when we would get a little snow or ice there is no stopping that truck with all the weight. You would just slide forever...

[@kylekicker5226]

Wish we had Matco tools in Australia

[@nuclearexplosion5841]

You might be able to order them

[@jimhaines8370]

I call that color cobalt blue and it’s neat

[@scarbucket1]

I want the blue with the black I’m holding out for the black in the long 3/8 then I’m buying one

[@brianreese9318]

The thing I hate about matco visit to a truck last time was not on but had a feel in and I got the magnetic 3 pack cup set and asked to fix my flex and didn’t have it and to go threw matco it self cost shipping home and back sucks for warrantying stuff snapp don’t charge both ways only to them Mac same way as snapp one time ship charge I’m not a fan of tiwann tools or china made tools if I can help it but couple hundred bucks better be American made its frustrating craftsman won’t warranty their tools at all locations if they are American made sucks you don’t get the same quality back in my opinion

[@claytonupton1774]

Where’s bill at?

[@Ram2253spd]

My Matco guy warranties everything with no issue. My one light broke at the magnetic swivel base. He took it off of another light right there on the truck.

[@scottmarquette2528]

I finally got my blue ratchet and I love it, but I also would like to see the blue color as an option on all Matco tools.

[@braddalton7202]

I have a matco screwdriver how do I warranty it the head it's Phillips head

[@KoonTrucking]

If you don’t have a Matco dealer contact Matco online

[@Fordcrownvicp71]

I'm glad I got a good Matco, snap-on, Mac tools and Cornwell dealers all nice guys never had an issue. I do hate when I see techs abuse there tools and even hit there tool box with there tools when they get all frustrated 😲. Tools and the tool boxes are wayyy too much money to treat it like crap and not take care of it all. Usually the younger kids act that way.

[@BigJoe_Mosqueda]

The blue color of the handles on the toolbox you're referring to are "translucent".... Candy color paint is "translucent"

[@nathans3022]

Why can't we get a dealer like him up here in NE Missouri? Lol. Our nearest MATCO dealer is St Louis,MO or Springfield, IL. I got some Armstrong 88T USA kits for 3/8 drive ratchets but need a 1/2" drive kit. Next time he swings by, could ya ask him if he'd be open to bartering a rebuild kit? Like I mail him a 3/8 kit and he mails me a 1/2 kit? I got like 6 of the Armstrong kits for 3/8 drive. The kit would drop into any MATCO 88 3/8 ratchet as I am running the same Armstrong kit in my flex head 128LF.

[@KoonTrucking]

He probably wouldn’t because he only uses Matco stuff to rebuild ratchets.

[@KoonTrucking]

You can contact Matco and they will send you rebuild kits for your ratchets.

[@nathans3022]

@@KoonTrucking Yea, will probably have to go that route.

[@matthewhoffman9242]

Is anyone still making the ratchets without the flex joint? Seems like everyone started making flex joint stuff and stopped carrying the solid stuff but I'd rather have solid handles myself

[@urahaman1479]

[@epicragegaming2016]

being good with warranty will sell tools. if i know my dealer will warranty any ratchet i break reasonably, i'm gonna buy every ratchet i need from him. he might sell me 10-15 ratchets and i warranty 1 every few years and its probably gonna be replacing the gear/pawl. apply the same idea to socket sets or wrenches.
