New and Upcoming Products from VIM Tools: Tool Tuesday Ep. 68

[@RobertWorthington]

No indexing. No locking. Just keep the flex head tight.

[@dustinhalat2484]

I agree.

[@ewalsh19]

I agree

[@jefferyrapp8357]

Your show was awesome I guess I am going to need some more VIM tools. Clay told his followers that he is going to work for you guys I believe you guys got an awesome asset to your company. I hope he still keeps his followers well informed like he has been.

[@cherokeelittle4582]

Free flex is the only ones I'll buy

[@dustinbotzum2338]

I really like when a picture of the item pops up along with the part number. It makes it easier to understand what product you are talking about. You did it when you were talking about the FPRW10K. Just a simple suggestion. Never the less keep up the great work!!!

[@EnufOdis]

I was so confused by this intro I thought I clicked the wrong video

[@ben10mama]

Between those two indexing but honestly I would prefer a locking flexhead myself

[@daenh]

Bought a VIM tight access ratchet bit set about 10 years ago and it saved my butt SOO many times. Every tech needs one

[@charlessimons668]

The intro was epic!

[@albertorivera6657]

Have both!!!

[@leonpowers8762]

Looking forward to the small 1/4” bit set. With the hex ball end in sae set

[@joshbennett5335]

Free flex on the ratchet

[@Link-we8so]

I like the free flex head

[@Drog7722]

Indexing would be awesome

[@gregsteiger7829]

Maybe you could make a flex ratchet head with Neodymium magnet/magnets so it could be free and infinitely indexable but be strong enough to hold in any flexed position. May not be possible or may be cost prohibitive. Just trying to please everyone. Great job guys!

[@LupusAdNoctem]

Definitely indexing

[@GolfGangOrDontBang]

Can’t wait for that t30 set

[@victorhoyt4352]

Bro, that Nora 150 is freaking amazing!!! How innovative and creative!! Just wow!!!!!! Mine!!

[@peytonscoggin3746]

For the MBH2, I bought a couple sets from Matco and they kept breaking. Will your product have a lifetime warranty in case it breaks?

[@JohnMahany-xt2db]

I really like the free play. I have had indexing ratchets, but much prefer the free play. I have locking flex head and free play ratchets. They both have their uses but my first choice is usually a free play and can grab a locking if I need it.

[@jacymatts]

Fire intro 🔥

[@strykerentllc]

Nothing like a long mello doggo / tool video to close out a tough day of manufacturing boomsticks. Thanks fellas! ps. Indexing on the flex heads FTW.

[@DMA_Actual]

Appreciate the honesty of why you won’t do a locking flex head. But unfortunately I’m sticking with matco then. Just my opinion, but locking or fixed is all I will spend money on

[@michealcannizzo100]

I do love the Nora150 and I plan to get this set for sure. But I definitely think you would be super ahead of the game if you dedicated a handle that the heads locks into and also extends like your other products that you can swap out the heads on. And obviously would come in a foam with handle, and full set of the ratcheting heads. Sae or metric. Would be just like the Astro nano pass through ratchet except extendable 🤯

[@noidea1962]

LOL Great intro!!!

[@jaggermurlin6343]

Ballin intro

[@ben10mama]

I'm so excited for the Nora150, the moment those drop it'll already be in my cart on my way to check out

[@carlosgaray9212]

Liked the intro, like indexing ratchets

[@heypeteyj]

that NORA looks fantastic. Is it feasible to have a handle that fits into the female end of a socket extension?

[@dustinhalat2484]

Just buy a 3/8 drive handle from anyone else’s. I’ll probably get a snap on of open drive handle to go with mine.

[@keepinitsidwys]

Definitely free flex head. Indexing makes it annoying when it keeps poping between 2 detents when you're in tight spaces

[@learninglife319]

I think indexing could be nice. However, a normal flex head with a tight ass head is always great.

[@Volvo760T]

Any possibility of some 1/2in Dr socket sets?

[@tyler81EC]

are we getting the yellow old vim logo hat?

[@mcsqueegee81]

Smooth & locking! I have gearwrench & tekton ratchets, that are indexing

[@douglashelpling2876]

Love the intro! As for the ratchet I’m a free flex kinda guy. Does the large auto adjusting filter wrench have a lock on it for storage?

[@vimtoolsinc]

It indeed locks closed for storage 👍🏼

[@DougCline-f2d]

Hey guys How about a pin-less swivel with a magnetic tip. Can find them in regular swivel magnetic

[@CoopUSMC2531]

Love the into!!! You should do these more often. 😂

[@TheLutzbmx]

Indexing is popular in the field, as a dealer we constantly get complaints from other brands about free flexing ratchets going floppy over time

[@MechAnonymous]

good job

[@guyconnell2250]

If the pin can be adjusted to adjust resistance of the flex head and if it holds up, I prefer non-indexing flex head. I think the indexing deal is a crutch to allow for slop that will develop in the pivot on some other brands.

[@TooljunkieDave5215]

Free flexing is better in my opinion

[@skylerbrycesmith]

Locking flex would be awesome, but I do understand that people misuse them which creates more warranty issues.

[@CoopUSMC2531]

Indexing for sure!

[@thatrealba]

I have both indexing and flex ratchets. I don't want to buy either kind anymore. There are no VIM dealers in my area, so I couldn't even get an indexing example in hand to see if I would settle for one before buying it.

[@stevetomayer9412]

Dammit I just bought the 1/4 inch in that ball end set and mine doesn't have the spinner handle 😢

[@jimhaines8370]

I know your in Tampa but close enough for the Miami Vice theme and jumping your boat. I already bought two of Pry Drivers gear deal

[@georgemorris5089]

I think I'm learning towards the indexing ratchet.

[@cliftontoolsupply89]

I like the 3/8 extra deep. But there’s still plenty of us need SAE. A 1/4” drive and 3/8” drive extra deep SAE sets would be great!

[@johnbailey9682]

Well for myself I like the indexing ratchets .

[@ewalsh19]

If could make a indexing locking flex head that would be sweet, for all sizes maybe

[@chrisgriffin4393]

Indexing!!!

[@victorhoyt4352]

Free flex all day!!!

[@georgecypher4568]

Sopranos....hahahaha...Its more like the Joey Bag-O-Donuts crew !!! Bada Bing !! Forgetaboutit !!! FREE-FLEX ...the whole idea of a FLEXHEAD Ratchet is to have it flex as needed ..... Normally they are not used for excessive torque , so free flex is the way to go .

[@josephalexander3884]

Indexing. My preference:locking,indexing, the Dollar Store. Sorry gentlemen,no free flex for me.

[@35jaylr]

Is there a dealer in Canada??

[@dustinhalat2484]

Imagine mixing the Nora150 with a 3/8 drive handle. Would make a comfort grip ratchet wrench 1/4 of the cost as blue point.

[@peytonscoggin3746]

Normal flex head without indexing. Just keep it tight

[@Weichih9904]

A lot of brand already sell that magnetic adaptor. The factory in Taiwan been selling that for “Years” Even Matco has those And husky I believe

[@Fedwrench]

VIM needs to offer a standard length version of the DFXL100 set. There are simply too many of the long and extra long sets on the market. Often the Long & XL versions are too long to use in numerous applications. Most people have more open end wrenches than they ever use so, a standard length wrench with a fixed boxed end on one side, and a flex head reversible ratcheting boxed end on the opposite end in standard length, would be a winner-winner-chicken dinner. 8-19mm no skips, plus 21 & 22 mm for the win. As for the flex head ratchet, I prefer the indexing type but, with a spring loaded grooved pintle instead of a single spring loaded ball. Whichever type you run with, make the pin securing the ratchet head to the forked handle, a decent size that actually works to tighten the handle fork.

[@aarontyrrell2931]

How cool is that 10mm key chain???!?!!

[@marcstruglia5910]

Indexing!

[@masongillespie4360]

Indexing ratchet all the way…….. but I’m waiting for USA made line to come out.

[@warrenblanchard889]

I prefer locking but indexing 2nd

[@tylerroberts5704]

I’ll be getting some edm

[@josuefHuerta]

I prefer locking because sometimes you just need it to stay at that angle when working but as long as you can tighten up the head i would not go indexing

[@jakegrossman9085]

T25 MASTER SET. USE THAT ALOT

[@hancockautomotive1522]

Been waiting on the dual drive u-j forever. You guys teased that over a year ago I think

[@billyboyd418]

Are you talking about FFA100? They are on their website

[@hancockautomotive1522]

@@billyboyd418 no. I’m waiting on the full set of sockets. Maybe 5.5-15 or so

[@pedaltheglobe419]

Clay Koon's new bosses.

[@22mpb]

Make it a locking indexing flex head like Matco has. I’ll buy the 3 piece set.

[@YocedEcoy]

no indexing, keep er TIGHT

[@LKAUTOTRUCK]

free flex 100%

[@gregblau8082]

Tbh I don't plan on buying ratchets any time soon, but indexing

[@aarontyrrell2931]

Miami vice intro!!

[@chevytough8629]

Indexing...

[@boosted2.4_sky]

Free flex ratchets.. not a fan of indexing without a lock...I'd rather have no indexing at all without a lock..🏁

[@Gadget0343]

Detent!

[@Pistonstrokes]

11:35 complain about that? If you rub two lf those together they will loose the magnetism 🎉. Never store them next to each other in the toolbox

[@tomneedmorebeer5525]

Still odd seeing Wawa in Florida

[@ben10mama]

Also one little thing, I loved the intro, I only ask maybe it was a little shorter, like 10-15 seconds then cut to the vim logo into would be great, thank you!

[@vimtoolsinc]

It isn’t a permanent intro. We only made that as a response to the comment “this is like watching AJ Soprano and Christopher Moltisanti do a tool show”
