100% agree on the Bahco wrenches! I have the thin jaw, and honestly need to buy some others. And you are correct, they make the wrenches for snapon (Snapons just have a little more polishing and chrome, which don't matter to me) I believe snapon actually owns Bahco.

[@OnusBones]

I think one of those may be in my future; at least a couple of times in my life I've needed a thin wrench and didn't have it, but it is extremely rare. I think I might save this one to be a #MorgansFault early next year.

[@wim0104]

nicely done amazon lists, best I've ever seen! I wear those klein kneepads daily. I have to turn the bottom silocone ring outwards, otherwise I get a rash in the summer. they also do a great job of keeping my knees warm in winter, like gloves.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@wim0104 that’s probably a good tip on the rash… I bought them at the end of the hotter season so I may not have figured that out yet 👍

[@pubcollize]

@@MORGANSMaintenance There are stretchy things that can go on the knees, no idea how they're called or which profession uses them, but they're a bit like those shirtless-sleeves bikers wear to protect their arms from the sun. Fits just over the knees + a bit extra. Could wear those as a barrier for your skin. Wearing them underneath the pants is a very good idea, avoids the ninja turtle look.

[@pubcollize]

P.S. another simple, if not simpler, solution would be to wrap an old tshirt over them. Could cut it to size and give it a couple stitches to stay put, and wash it separately.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Yeah I don’t like the look of over the pants and it usually bunches mine up

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

It’s a good time 👍

[@Coopsgarage33]

Thanks for sharing! I’ve loved watching the tool reviews but it’s really fun to see the tools that really stood out to you this year. I think my tool of the year would have to be my Tsunoda KBN-125 flush cut snips. They’re fantastically precise and a perfect size.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Fantastic company make some of the best zip tie flush cutters for 1/3rd of thr price of dem Germans. Form and function over price. Great seeing you over here like your videos others should give you a glance if they haven't already.

Thanks for sharing your favorite… I love hearing about others favorites as much as dishing out my own 👍

[@luisreviews6412]

My 21 year old corded circular saw finally bit the dust and I made the switch to a battery powered saw… so much better to use. Lighter, easier to maneuver and enough power for my diy weekend warrior projects.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Yeah battery powered stuff has come a long way in the last several years. Almost all corded tools have been replaced

[@duncdunc76]

Great content as always MM! Quite a few unknowns to me that I'll have to take a look at. The adjustable needle nose pliers stand out and I'm definitely getting a small Veto this year based on yours and others quality reviews on the bags. Pricey yes, but I'm finally in the camp of its worth it after looking hard and not finding any quality cheaper options that have the same organization and features. But im not on board with your vest recomend yet lol. I do understand the sentiment though. Its hard to resist that extremely useful item that may be otherwise a rediculious price when its the perfect item personally that is so useful and perfectly suited to what you want and need to maximize your working harmony. I'm with ya there, all the way!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Yeah Veto during the Spring Promotion is an easier pill to swallow. You can even sell one of them to get the price down.. that’s typically what I do. I love my vest, but it’s definitely a bit for everyone thing.

No justice! For Atlas. Made in the USA is why it cost $250 I believe? So thank you for buying it and I would also pay double or triple D amount for products if they’re made in the USA when it comes to tools or apparel.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I have bought several things from them (4 vest and several misc things)… I don’t mind paying the price but most probably won’t. My main gripe is how long it takes… and more so that there is no communication from them during the months while you are waiting. They could for sure do better at that.

[@OnusBones]

Nice selections. I'm going to pick up a set of those knee pads, and one for my wife as well; also the Rack-A-Tiers stud ball. This is the year I discovered Veto bags, so at least one of them makes my list. Although I like them all, I grab my TP-3B most often, but I need to adjust my SB-LD loadout; it's too heavy, especially with my M12 Surge in it. I also really like the various Klein screwdrivers I bought, especially the ones with bits in the handle where it's not necessary to Lego the shaft to get what I need. For lights, I really like my Sofirn IF23 and IF24 Pro (similar lighting options), and the cheap Vicooda work lights (great for under a sink or when upgrading a computer); then for EDC the Boruit V20 is extremely versatile. I've gotten some good use from my Allosun digital multimeter, and expect that to continue. Finally, the #MorgansFault Vessel electric screwdriver (and/or the WorkPro knockoff) is a quick-grab for a lot of things.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

2025 may be the year for me to try a Sofirn 😂. I took my Installation driver out of my SBLD and swapped with the Dewalt to save some weight myself.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

They ain't bad lights especially for the price. Get the heavy duty knee pads sleves instead our knees arnt getting any better and they are more comfortable/durable.

[@thejohnhend]

I think if it didn’t make the last last year because you bought it at the end of last year you should definitely be able to put it on this years list.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I think so too, some tools get ripped off 😂

[@turbot_]

I'm glad I got the M12 saw too. I have the 5.0 and a diablo blade on it and have been making use of some scrap OSB from when I got my roof done earlier this year. It's light and rips really well. I kinda wish it had a light on it though since I had to do a quick cut in the dark earlier today.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

The blade and battery makes a big difference 👍

[@thomasbrown9402]

You could clip the Wuben to it :)

[@turbot_]

@@thomasbrown9402 I'll have to look into this since I have a bunch of small clip/magnetic lights. Although now I'm picturing it falling off and ending up in the blade. I think my only other M12 tool without a light is the pruners... What the heck Milwaukee.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

My list of tools I appreciate are alot like yours just saying. I like the milwaukee slim light more than your offerings for my own reasons. That sbld was a sleeper at first not is used nearly as much as the tech pack. Speaking of tech pack it's way better for a big bag than a mct overstuffed and pro pack xl. I forsee a backpack mct in your future 😆. 5 months no Atlas46 order just warning people fyi. That side pouch from Atlas46 I ordered was fantastic on two carabiners clipped onto my belt loops. It was the year of vests and pouches for sure looking forward to how much more design they can come up with. Thanks for the great year with great friends! Glad the dewalt 8v gyro didn't make it 😆 you never know till you try!

Otherwise it's just a list of what you bought all year lol 😆

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

If i wanted to eat the 50 dollars 50% increase in price i could have had it from Amazon already. I want that Benjamin electrican bag too to give it a fair shake. Only time will tell and by spring I'll order the mb3 blackout with inserts and may make thoes items moot as a cross body bag.

[@KiltPatrick]

So far my favorite 2024 buy is either my Veto DP3 and my cheap Klein Cross Line Laser. DP3 makes service calls and working from a lift a literal lifesaver, amd while only $60, the Klein CLL just showed me what ive been missing all these years, and...goddamn.😂

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

The DP3 is a nice addition. I ended up not using mine as much because I use my vest and MP2x as kinda a combo to hold what I was putting in it. A laser level is a game changer for sure 👍

Joey, thanks for sharing brother!! I need the SnapOn Long Nose pliers!!! SnapOn is very overpriced and my opinion comes from a perspective of running a oilfield service company in my prior career. But with that said they have some very niche’ tools like this that are game changers!! Great Video. Have a great weekend!! Also, I had to edit to also say I want to try one of those Wide Mouth adjustables you have had on a couple of your videos.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I have felt the same about SnapOn myself even though I never really had any. I always said, they are possibly really good tools… but I can still also buy other really good tools of the same kind at half the price. They got me on these since no one else had them.

[@EyeOfTheTiger601]

@@MORGANSMaintenanceyes sir!! I want to know more about those vests!? What name brand are they and did you just have to send them a Digitized Logo file in the proper format for them to sew on the vest or did you do that extra ? FYI I ordered the Klein Mod Box Work Vest/Tool Belt combo and I thought I’d just take the 2 bigger Mod Box Pouches off and use the 6 Pocket and 8 Pocket Klein ModBox pouches I already utilize to make it more sleek and a bit lighter…. But when I got it I found out the pics did it no favors but to hide how heavy and bulky the vest is. The vest is basically shoulder straps that act as suspenders not pulling a hands pants down etc I reckon. But really I wanted it for the vest feature but it only has 4 small pockets on the front. One good thing about it is that when it’s on the weight of a tool belt and tools is being supported by a guy/gals shoulders and the tool belt is hanging high above my waist and lower back. That’s the only plus. Check it out Klein Part ID 55829MB. Check it out and let me know what you think. Also I have seen some kind of awesome looking vest brand called the Don Clavos 701 Diamondback Vest but it’s 620.00…. Do you know anything about that brand of vest? Why so expensive?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@EyeOfTheTiger601 Matt-hmm that comments on the channel a lot has the Diamondback vest and likes it. Mine is Atlas 46. It has hook and loop spots there so I just had some patches made on Amazon. They just go on/off like Velcro. I love vest over a tool belt. I’ve been wearing different versions for years, but I have been buying mostly Atlas 46 versions. They are expensive too though, but I just use my own pouches and things. That’s where they get really pricey. I started with the Atlas 46 Saratoga, but now I use this vest for Service work, and I use the Atlas Stratos for jobsite work. I got lucky and caught it on sale for $99. I haven’t seen the Klein. I’ll have to look it up

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

You just need the diamondback 701 vest and use any pouches you want or like 👍. I've used a veto dp3 mazo slingshot holstery don't matter. The vest goes from 99 to 200 but 150 is a common sale price. If you get the high vis model you can dump your safety best on the jobsite a bonus itself. Check az for used ones often go for less than half of new great way to try it out or return it if you don't like it for free. Rigid or that modbox vest are monstrosities. Most vest can get hot so I suggest staying diamondback or that Atlas46. Occidental leather is a toaster oven the knockoff I showed on a guess the trades reload isn't half bad and a third of the price of Occidental leather. Way more comfortable too but not as cool as the 2 choices we have suggested. A option too if you have tool pouches on a tool belt with suspenders is to go Occidental leather beltless retrofit kit. That lets you wear tool bags no belt right off your shoulders for 60 bucks. That's only if your setupuuses light and your shoulders can take it. Vest distributes the weight on more than just shoulders. One of these days we will do a vest setup video I have at least 2 loadouts I can send in for reference 👍.

[@three-phase562]

Best tools for me this year are probably the pliers from Tsunoda and the torque wrench from BGS. Didn't buy any powertools this year.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@three-phase562 I have had Tsunoda mentioned few times in the comments already. Will have to check out their stuff 👍

Tsunoda has had a resurgence in the last few years from a lower end brand to vessel/tajima levels. If you keep an eye on electrical worker youtube (name is in Japanese at least the subs translate) is a great source of all the latest and greatest Japanese tools. The shop tours of Japan are kinda interesting Japanese tool porn? From my time with the tsunoda cross cuts are easily on par and would recommend them as much as the yellow handle marvels. The red handle marvels are indeed better but completing with such well known tools (overseas). Thoes little zip tie mini pliers are great with blue/purple handles with the zip tie puller behind the jaws.

[@three-phase562]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn Not come across that channel, will have to go and have a look. I will probably get a set of those cable tie pliers, they do look quite good. At the moment, I only have the mechanical style pliers from Tsunoda, nothing electrical. Might be worth getting a few to look at.

Do they still make the 1824 vest? The link said currently unavailable, and it's not on their website. It looks really versatile for scoping jobs out.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@KevinRodriguez-lv1li I noticed that when I went to look for it. The second one I ordered was an 1819 (that I haven’t got yet) they had 4 different versions when I ordered my 1824. They all are similar in function, the 1824 just has more mesh for airflow. Maybe they are having a hard time getting that material or something. They must have a hard time with something for as long as it takes 🤷‍♂️ When I searched it, the black version on Amazon was the only one I could find.

[@KevinRodriguez-lv1li]

I'm hesitant with the 6 month lead time 😂 but if it takes that long I'd get it around my birthday. I'm not sure how I feel about spending money that far in advance like that, but I'm sure I wouldn't regret it. Do you happen to know if there's any difference in buying it from Amazon vs direct? Do you still get the same warranty or support or would it all have to go through Amazon? I don't mind paying the price but I just want to make sure

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I’m not sure on the warranty. I bought my first Atlas Vest (Saratoga) through Amazon but I’ve never had an issues with it. Everything else I bought directly through them. (Multiple items). Some I got pretty fast, but my last 3 orders have taken forever. If you find it somewhere else I would guess you for sure will get it faster because they basically are carrying stock of it. Atlas says they make everything to order.. I don’t know if they are short staffed or what.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

What’s worse about how long it takes, is that they never even really give you any updates. You kinda have to email and ask. I have told them, I don’t mind waiting… but it’s nice to know from time to time that I’m still on a list or something. You start to wonder if you got lost in the shuffle

[@KevinRodriguez-lv1li]

The price and lead times make me lean towards getting it from Amazon. That really sweetens the deal! I think I'll email their CS and see if I can get an answer regarding what sort of support they offer if you buy through Amazon. I'm a bit of a lurker when it comes to viewing your content. Really like your style for presenting information! Especially with how you explain options on how something might be handy in specific situations because not everyone does the same thing.

[@k1_w3]

@MM I bought the Klein knee pads, Bahco adjustable wrenches(I have the 8” and 10”), Fluke T6-1000 Pro, and Milwaukee M12 circular saw based on your recommendations. And I have the Snap-On talon grip pliers, Rack-A-Tiers stud ball, and maybe an Atlas vest on my list. If you could just have one, would you recommend 7” or 9” talon grips?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I find myself using the 9” the most just because I like the reach, kinda more the reason for the tool how I use them. I keep the 7” in my MP2X really only because they fit better.

[@k1_w3]

@MORGANSMaintenance Cool. Originally, I thought I’d get the 7”, but I’m leaning toward the 9” after seeing it in this video. 👍

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@ I thought the same way.. I bought the 7” first because I usually use smaller pliers more than bigger, but after having them for a bit I decided to get the 9” too

[@k1_w3]

@MORGANSMaintenance Yeah, I was thinking the 7” would be a better size, but I like bigger grips, and find myself using my 10” cobras or pliers wrench over my 7 1/4”s whenever I can. I also have to fish out the 7 1/4”s from my Diamondback tool belt, so 8” and above tools are better for that. 7” sounds like it will work better for my MP2X though, so I’ll probably just have to get both. 😂

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Talk to your snapon truck i got the 7in and 9in for 100 if I bought them both. I really don't use the 9 in much at all the 7in really fit the need if it helps. As for the truck I just stopped by one parked repoing some stuff from a shop. I capped the wires to the compresser and made sure the power was safe. What comes around goes around just day hi where ever you see one. You never know!

I’m not 100% sold on the T6. We bought one specifically for the fieldsense to detect a 208 delta on a 3 phase. Took like 8 - 10 seconds to recognize that voltage. Whereas the 120 legs were instantly identified. I dunno, don’t know what kind of calculations it’s performing, maybe I’m expecting too much.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@jthatguys I haven’t tried mine on any 3-phase yet. One place I work often has some panels, I’ll have to check that out.

Does the rackateer magnet loose its magnetism somehow or through time? I just got one and feel like it barely is magnetized. Not sure why

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Mine hasn’t lost any… I almost wish it would lose a little 😂. Mine grabs ahold of anything that gets within 2-3 inches of it

[@qzetu]

My list: (1) Knipex twin grips (2) Knipex BIX cutter for thin wall pipe (3) Joey pouch (4) Amazon basic electric screwdriver (5) Klein insulted double side screwdriver. Honorable mentions: (6) DeWalt new hand vacuum (7) Harbor freight ratchet an bit set (8) Rousseau 5000 dust collector for miter saw (9) Klein 7&1nut driver (10) Milwaukee large basin wrench (saved me many times.)

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@qzetu appreciate the list.. I have several of those, but some to look up 👍

[@sterlingarcher46]

Sir , check iut the Vessel electrical screwdriver . I have the high speed one and it's phenomenal. It's low torque but I didn't buy it for torque . When taking screws out you just do it by hand at 1st to unlock the screw ( with the same tool since it's purposely made to be able to handle it ) and then you use the electrical function to speed up the rest . I was afraid at 1st that it would be a gimmick but it does make a world of difference . And the came up with a new and improved version that I wish I could get my hands on : usb C , and both high speed an high torque !

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I have the new one you are talking about… two of them actually. They were in my Top Tools of 2023 last year. One of my favorite tools in awhile

[@sterlingarcher46]

@MORGANSMaintenance Oops I missed that , my bad !

[@wmrivera01]

About how much does that SB-LD weigh all loaded?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I will have to check, but I think it was around 20 lbs. last I checked. It was a little more, but I was carrying an M12 installation driver. I swapped to the Dewalt because it was lighter I used to carry a bag like that and my MCT Blackout as a small bag/big bag combo… but now this is my big bag and my MP pouches are my small bag

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Even my absurdly loaded sbld is 30 lbs and has triple the tools he has. It can take it mine has a t5 1000 and m12 fuel impact in the back pocket.

SnapOn are clones of the Bahco lol, not the other way around.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MPD90 yeah I caught myself… said it backwards first 👍

[@andrews3137]

If Bahco is making them could it really be considered a clone? Also, Bahco has been a subsidiary of Snap-on for almost 25 years ( and I'm pretty sure they were the same company when Snap-on started using that design).

[@k1_w3]

@andrews3137 You’re right, they’re not clones. Irega private labels them for Bahco/Snap-On.

[@MPD90]

@@andrews3137 debateable but the point is the bahco aren't a cheap version of the snapon, the snapon are just a heavily marked up rebranded bahco.

[@k1_w3]

@MPD90 I think Bahco(a subsidiary of Snap-on) and Snap-on are both made by Irimo(a subsidiary of Snap-on) in Spain.

'...maybe it will be cheaper, who knows....' uhh we all know, HF's knockoff talon pliers BETTER BE cheaper than snap-on's $90... could you imagine the world where HF copies a premium design AND matches the price point? That shit would be ridiculous.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@WBG123098 it will be cheaper for sure… the question is how much cheaper for me. I feel like the last few Knipex copies were prices to close that I would just rather buy the Knipex for a few more dollars.

[@k1_w3]

@MORGANSMaintenance Yeah, I think YT auto-censors when the algorithms think you’re advertising in the comments section. I started the comment off with “glad I bought ‘em”, so that’s probably what triggered the auto-censor.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Thoes carbide scrapers are not joke we do our fair share of historical houses and they save hours of sanding. The best part us if you hit a nail it won't damage it ive even scraped concrete/motar with them no damage. The blades are 7/8s the price of the entire tool 😆

[@k1_w3]

@MattHmm-rq6dn Yeah, they lived up to the hype of the reviews. I bought the 2.5”, and within minutes of using it for the first time, I ordered the 2” and 1”.

[@MrPalbunch]

Great choices I have everything except the veto bag. Son and I are general contractors/ handyman and are wondering if the festool dust extractors are a shop vac replacement? We have bout about 6 different shop vacs looking for something better either longer hose. Do you think the cleantec ct15 or ct midi would work for an everyday clean up vac for light remodeling and handyman work. Does is have the big suction?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MrPalbunch it’s pretty much the same as my other vacuums as far as suction goes. It just does a better job and not releasing and fine dust (catches more of it). I don’t use it as my every day vacuum, really for drywall or spaces that are finished I’m working in. I use a small Ridgid one on job sites, but I also don’t typically work on huge sites. I mostly use a small one due to transporting, but I feel like the suction is better on it

[@michaelbuddy]

Just an exxtra to this, I've seen a guy reuse the festool filters by cutting the bottom end and using binder clips to put back together. I wish I could call up that video. thought it was a good idea and since filters are always expensive, great idea.
