btw that dual flex long reach ratchet is a lifetime warranty! All Pittsburgh hand tools are lifetime

[@ring-and-run]

VIM and Titan make some great tools, for sure.

[@OneLegged-honda-mechanic]

The HF long ratchet is lifetime warranty. I’ve warrantied mine because the forward/reverse selector fell off, but I still love it for serpentine belt tensioners. Thanks for the video!

I like that Topscan!!!!

Like other techs, I started out with Craftsman in 1987 when they were U.S. made. Went to the tool trucks, Mac, Snap On, Matco, but when I need a quick, or small or cheap tool, I do buy Harbor Freight. Retired now, but I see more and more techs buying high dollar tools like XTool, Autel, Topdon and others. I do have a Matco code and monitor reader which I used a lot at work when I did Smog Tests to check for codes and monitors. It was also used with other meters and an old two channel scope when road testing especially for intermittents. Good one Mario.

back in the '80's i bought the "skewdriver" wasnt cheap but no other tool in mt box has saved my ass as much as that thing. its a bit driver that has a 75 degree head on it.

Great reviews Mario. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing! I have the Hakko FX-951, I could not believe the difference it makes from using a cheap soldering station. I never tried your model but I was really impressed with Hakko!

Passthrough socket on a box wrench is lower profile.

Gotta get my hands on that stubby set and ratchet handle. Looking like a solid upgrade to the one I have.

[@anthonykreiser]

Ill buy a 1/4 drive ratchet from snapon and have the head swapped to a 3/8 drive. It gives you a nice small profiled 3/8.

I love good budget tools that away have more money for Gun’s

[@nservice1625]

The most used tool in my shop is the service writer.

[@olko3418]

Nice reviews

Pittsburgh pro Item 96369 dual flex ratchet.

[@Gaborkik]

Thank you, I always wanted a basic obd2 tool. I work 3 months every year in the states, but my european scan tools dont support US cars and I cannot spend another 3k$ to fix coworker cars on weekends.

[@nordicpride9708]

How do you like that ICON smoke machine?

[@TheLegitAztec810]

Can the topdon topscan do electric rear brakes?

[@bradleykennell9949]

Thank you for tool reviews! I'm curious if you can email the pre-scans with the TOPDON and how seamless that process is. I am looking to start pre-scans on any diagnostic RO that I get. It's gotta be a smooth process on flat rate.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

That’s what i use for all my prescans, it’s as seamless as it gets

[@bradleykennell9949]

SOLD- thank you. It deserves a chance at that price. @@SuperMarioDiagnostics

[@shanidmon8563]

can you suggest me a good headlight for technician

[@jawsjaws2000]

I just checked the topdon site. It says 99 per year for update.

What about the big tequila bottle to clean the boards ? Man, redo the video lol 😂
