NEW CAPRI CP90 LOCKING FLEX HEAD RATCHETS vs GEARWRENCH 120XP LOCKING FLEX-HEAD, who's the Winner!🤔

[@JimmySturgill]

The only channel on you tube that feels like visiting a life long friend everyday . Happy New Year's to you n yours my friend . Thanks for being awesome.

[@douglasmiles1215]

I love mine, the head lock on mine is a bit tighter than yours, but only a bit. My 1/4" came dead in the box. Best i could tell it didn't have the spring in the selector. CAPRI already has me another on the way, and they wanted my broke one back to check it out. They want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for the introduction video Jeff.

[@ryancdonaghy]

just noticed the locking capri’s were out a few days and of course Jeff already has them and has a review out! appreciate you sir

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks for watching!! I love finding new tools and sharing them with you guys!!

[@tobyleach176]

those Capris look sharp! likely one of my next purchases... BTW.. you're getting super close to 10K! congrats on your channel.

[@Randyplaysguitars]

Can't wait for that giveaway as well!

[@jefftovani5535]

Its coming!!!

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks for the support, really appreciate it! I am excited to get to 10k, but the real reward is the community and conversation.

[@brenthann2623]

[@jefftovani5535]

[@brandonlavigne8648]

Can’t get over how much thicker the head is on the Capri 😮……. As always keep up the GREAT work you do, thanks for all the awesome reviews

[@signtechjoe]

Next best thing to owning my own tools is watching your channel. Nice job!

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you my friend,much appreciated!!

[@Callelle6251]

Love the Capris, screw gearwrench / Apex tool group. Hopefully Capri comes out with normal length versions soon.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thier supposed to,will see!!

[@pontiacnut65]

Been waiting for the Capri review. Ive been happy with their stuff so far so I ordered this set as well. Cant wait to try it out! Thanks for your review Jeff!

[@jefftovani5535]

Glad you got it, they're nice ratchets, let me know what you think when you get them!!!

[@asmautollc]

My Capri set arrives on Friday. Space in ratchet drawer already cleared. Cannot wait!

[@jefftovani5535]

Youll need the room,they are long!! thanks ASM!!

[@JamesAdams86]

Respectable review for both ratchets. Like you always say you have to have options. Id say they both have there place. Them new capris are very nice though. Thanks Jeff and keep em comin

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks for checking in and sharing your thoughts!!

[@tanksoldier9770]

Great review Jeff , Time testing will tell the story , may the LORD thy. GOD Bless all of us in this new year ! Thanks for everything Jeff !

[@jefftovani5535]

Amen to that brother, stay safe in the new year!

[@RandyWatson-n2p]

Jeff, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the last year of videos. I found your channel about this time last year. I try to sit down around 10:00 Texas time, drink my coffee, and watch your latest post. Seems like the normal thing to do in a crazy world. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. And BTW, where do you order the Matco ratchets from. It looks like I'm gonna have to buy one!

[@ben501st]

I just got the locking flex head, 25" gearwrench yesterday. They have options!

[@jefftovani5535]

They sure do ben!! thank you for joining in and sharing your recent purchase of GW!!!!

[@jeremyr722]

I like Capri, I’ve got their big set of combo wrenches in EVA foam. I would have bought these locking flexheads in a heartbeat if I could get chrome handles. I checked but unfortunately, comfort grip only.

[@Dan-wt7jx]

I've never been a huge fan of soft grips to begin with, but the combination of soft grips with a color combo that doesn't match the stuff I already have just makes it a no go, I've been pressuring Vim for a while now for chrome handles or a simple subdued soft grip design

[@jeremyr722]

@ exactly! I have a red and black color scheme in my top drawer, so blue grips are a no go. I prefer a chrome handle, or at least black like my KoKen ratchets.

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea some guys dont like comfort grips,i get it!! maybe they will do standard chrome handles in the future,time will tell!!

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks Dan for joining in,i understand that thier not for everyone!! Vim suppose to come out with some USA ratchets!!

[@Dan-wt7jx]

@jefftovani5535 super stoked about that, just hope they don't have snot green handles

[@edrannou3914]

Great year1 THANK YOU, Jeff. Can't wait for 2025. Happy New Year.

[@jefftovani5535]

Happy new year!

[@paulsampson6024]

I like the Capri ratchets.. they seem really nice.. never used one before going to have to look for them.. thanks for the review

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you paul for joining in!!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Jeff, you've been talking about the Capri for a while and I can see why. A very nice ratchet. Wishing you a Happy New Year. I believe you'll hit 10K subscribers towards the end of January. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[@tomrogers6551]

Thanks for all the great videos you have this year. Looking forward to another year of them. Happy New Year!

[@Snowmannorth]

Thanks, Jeff! Great comparison of two great ratchets! 💪🏻

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you my friend,you have been a great subscribers since my channel first started!!

[@remfj40]

Outstanding comparison.... The problem now is, which is better? Both have some great attributes and a few faults. Thanks for what you do.

[@jefftovani5535]

Hi remfj,i have to use the Capri set for 6 months to tell you which one i like best!! stay tuned,thanks my friend!!

[@jadavison]

I have the flex gear wrench 90t and standard capri 90t. Both great. I’ve seen you do the initial on both these sets. I think I’m going to go for the capri just for the added fact that it’s got the length. Good review as usual Jeff. I do like tools!!

[@mikefisc9989]

I've been looking at the GW 120XP, but didn't know about all the play in locking flexhead. I think I will wait until the shorter version of the Capri CP90 is available. Thanks for the review Jeff.

[@mrcokez1]

I had the flex locking gearwrench 120xp for a year now from my parents and theyre awesome. I got the capri set this holiday so we'll see how it holds up. So far im liking this gear mech and handle. Capri makes good stuff

[@danecouch7572]

Great review, as always, Jeff.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you dane,much appreciated!!

[@grant_6.7_5th_gen]

Great video Jeff! I ordered my set last week waiting for them to get here

[@joshdane5657]

Great video Jeff. I needa get my hands on some of these Capri ratchets. It's the last thing I need lol but I love ratchets.

[@jefftovani5535]

Boy i hear ya!! thanks josh!!

[@WhatsGoingHahn]

Matco is in the house, let’s take a gander!

[@jefftovani5535]

Yes sir!!! thanks my friend for joining in!!

[@geraldroberts4721]

No experience with any flex head ratchets, always made due with universal joints, but very interesting stuff. I like the GW 120XP in 1/4" drive only, their 90 tooth is my preference in 3/8 and 1/2" drive. The 90 tooth seem much stronger in the bigger drives and backdrag seems almost as good as the 120XP. Good vid, thanks for sharing way cooler stuff than I have.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you gerald for joining in!! lots of good options in todays tool world!!

[@chickenfriedsteak3669]

OHHH THEM ARE NICE!!!! Thanks ferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr showin ana sharin, Jeff-ster! 😎

[@SleepysAutomotive]

Love my 120xps!! Thank you for the comparison, Jeff!!

[@wtbm123]

Yea we have been there where you need the leverage and the handle is a half inch to long . But handy when they fit. There should be a better way to make a flex head ratchet so it can be tight .

[@blazebrady3659]

Great comparison video, Jeff! Thanks for all you do...👍

[@BoDeaver]

Lovemy XPs!! My knuckles have never been happier. Flex heads are worth the $$$$

[@paulhudgins6861]

Thank you for your videos Jeff. Happy new year!!

[@JamesHiza-z4w]

Very nice comparison. That spring Loaded lock is unfortunately a deal breaker for me on the Capri. There are times where I need to turn a fastener a bit the readjust the flex head angle and unlocking it each turn would drive me nuts. Thanks for the detailed review!

[@mrrodriguez3066]

Thank you Jeff for taking the time to make this detailed video, interested to see how they last over the span of a year. I will definitely purchase the shorter version locking flex head ratchets once they come out, hopefully without the goat head design 😂.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks rodriguez for joining in,we will do follow ups!!

[@samlee458]

happy new year Jeff.

[@jefftovani5535]

Same to you sam!!

[@williamgill810]

Enjoy your content. I have some capri ratchets. They are work horses. Very tough.

[@mrcokez1]

Thanks jeff happynew year best wishes to you and the channel and family

[@PowerstrokeToyt]

My capri flex ratchets should be coming in this week Going to be putting them to the test when I do my upper oil pan/ turbo on my 6.7psd compared to using a mix of snap on/ matco ratchets when I did those jobs at work Matco black chrome ratchets look amazing over time the black does scratch off but you don't buy tools to look pretty forever

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks powerstroke for joining in!! let me know how you like the Capri after using them!!

[@Gringo_amigo]

Dude I love capri because they are so budget friendly but are actually useable tools for the trade. Buying good but cheap tools has been hard starting out

[@soupy7948]

the new capris looking good

[@jefftovani5535]

Time will tell!! thanks soupy!!

[@Dan-wt7jx]

Like seeing more Capri on the channel, i hope they are in your roundup for impact socket sets, been thinking about their 3/8 super shallow and semi deep sets to add into the shop box, and hoping to pickup a 1/2 cased set for outside kf the shop fun

[@mcsqueegee81]

For impacts, they have a sweet master set, deep, semi deep & standard sockets. Sweet sets! Come on metal organizer. Then they all match

[@mcsqueegee81]

3/8 master sets

[@jefftovani5535]

They have some sweet sets,no doubt!! thanks mcsquee!!

[@jefftovani5535]

Hi Dan you will,stay tuned my friend!!

[@JayBird911]

Thanks, Jeff! They're both great! Both on the wish list! Edit: 10k right around the corner!

[@sizzleneck]

Happy New Year to you and yours Jeff 🎉

[@inidaho6740]

Jeff!!! You gotta sell us something! Vitamins? Homemade jelly? THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!! I dont know much about capri, interesting!!

[@robcole332]

The first Capri tool I bought was the stubby 1/2 impact. I love that thing.

[@brianpierce7114]

The Capri 1/2 drive in that length with that locking mechanism would be great. That mechanism in a 1/4 or 3/8 would fight me. I am usually stuffing my arm and going off feel and keep my heads unlocked. It's a Great looking ratchet though

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again, Jeff Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Happy New Year's to you and your family. Thank you for the great ratchet comparison. Again thank you 👌

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!! Happy New Year to you and yours too!!!

[@shadow7796]

Those new Capri are nice. I'm waiting on the new gen2 Icon ratchets to hit the shelves before I make my decision. The Capri is probably a few inches longer, but that's not the deciding factor for me anyway. I'm not a big fan of the really high tooth count/position ratchets. I like a good 72t-90t. I like that Capri still uses the goathead logo on theirs. The new Icon has the locking mechanism like Matco.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks shadow for joining in,so many good options today,its great to see!!!

[@tan_ives]

Thanks for this video and all you do. I got the 1/4 gear wrench flex head and did wonder about sending it back for that slop in the locking mechanism. Sure the ratchet is fine but very surprised more people don't mention the sloppy locking flex head makes it feel like a cheap toy. Happy New Year. New sub

[@zachroberts1988]

Thanks Jeff, i was considering the new Capri ratchets, havent been a huge fan of the lock on the new gearwrench ratchets.

[@76Starship]

Jeff, It's cruel the way you tease me with that purple Matco 88. Just send it to me already, eh? 🤪🤣😜😛 Happy New Year! Both the GW and the Capripants looks like good ratchets.

[@XxGenericGTxX]

thanks for the review, I was considering the capri ratchets but I don't think I'll get them.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks for watching,i appreciate it!!

[@jadavison]

I have the flex gear wrench 90t and standard capri 90t. Both great. I’ve seen you do the initial on both these sets. I think I’m going to go for the capri just for the added fact that it’s got the length.

[@jefftovani5535]

They are long,no doubt!! another option!! thanks jadavison for joining in!!

[@RJM_2023]

Great review as always. How is the back drag on the Capri?

[@vincenthardy9863]

You the man Jeff

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you vince!!

[@jimholz1102]

Locking flex-head ratcheting breaker-bars!

[@jefftovani5535]

Yup,they are long jim!!

[@dsanford12]

Is the capri head , looks a little die hard ish, great job, though, Jeff very informative, have a safe New Year's Eve.Take care

[@michaellindsay8934]

I guess it would come down to what you mainly service as far as the length is concerned. Their both great looking ratchets. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉

[@raymartyn2220]

Love your channel Jeff

[@xibfwmz]

Both really nice ratchets

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks for watching, glad you like them my friend!!

[@davidnowabbi2683]

G00d review, enjoy seeing them.

[@jefftovani5535]

Thank you David!

[@centralcoastbuc161]

I can’t wait for the 6 mo review.

[@jefftovani5535]

we willmy friend,stay tuned!!

[@chrisgillett1824]

Yes - One eyed One horned flying PURPLE Matco Ratchet!! Has a certain ring to it!

[@jefftovani5535]

Its a beauty!! thanks chris for joining in!!

[@Donthetoolman]

The Capri wins hands down I've been looking at capris 4 in one double box end ratcheting wrenches 4 peice set and it replaces 16 wrenches with only 4 I like that idea I got my application in at Lisle tool corporation they are going over my resume so hopefully I hear something soon if I get the job I'll definitely be buying some tools from them and other companies to do reviews on happy new year my friend

[@keysautorepair6038]

Like the 120xp gear wrench better than the capri I would definitely buy them first if I could only choose one:

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks key for joining in,the 120XP are nice,no doubt!!

[@msbuck007]

I like the length of those Capri's, it will make it easier to remove some of those stuck nuts and bolts.

[@not-a-raccoon]

I have the larger head 120xp flex heads. I think I'm going to switch to the low profile ones. I have the low pro ones in fixed handle and LOVE them

[@jefftovani5535]

The new style is sweet,way smaller head!!

[@TrackstarBR]

I have the gearwrench 120xp and they are nice and very smooth. Only problem is for some reason I just don’t care for them. I still always grab my Mac axis, Matco, or snap on quick release. Maybe it’s the play in the head or the handle shape. But for some reason they just aren’t what I grab when I’m working. Don’t get me wrong they definitely can compete with the tool truck ratchets for a cheaper price.

[@sambrown6975]

Happy new year my friend

[@petebusch9069]

I like Capri stuff.

[@jefftovani5535]

They have decent stuff,no doubt!! thanks pete!!

[@JohnCain-nd9ki]

thanks for the review ,I like the capri ratchets

[@gonadiator]

Just wish the 25” gearwrench had a comfort grip

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea i hear ya,thanks my friend!!

[@j5962]

I suppose they moved the detent ball towards the end to make the anvil stronger, but nobody likes a floppy socket.

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea maybe,but everybody complains about it,deep sockets are wobbly!!

[@marcvought308]

I love that you use regular guy tool too.

[@h3at32]

Damn those looks sick!

[@ToolinAround2025]

Thanks for the video. If I was going to get one Capri tool or set, what would be your favorites?

[@jefftovani5535]

non flex CP90 is one of my favorites!! thier combo wrenches are outsatanding!

[@BoDeaver]

Still waiting on my Capris. I've used the XPs for a decade. My Knuckles never been happier

[@jamesrogers4674]

One thing that's important to me with a flex head is, will it go past 90 so you can use it as a speed wrench or old fashion drill.

[@jefftovani5535]

That is a great point to consider, thanks for bringing it up!

[@Sethhaun78]

I do have 3/8 breaker bar from oreillys that has one end handle end for extension or there 3/8 stubby hooks into it..kinda handy

[@blakealexander8854]

Thanks for the review

[@mechtechtools77]

Nice Capri ratchets Jeff but I agree with you that they should be able to swivel and have an unlucky position. I think the new smaller Gearwrench 120xp ratchets are not as durable as the original version.

[@eddietapp4427]

Happy new year to you and your wife

[@DaveRod-h5x]

They look great but I can't seem to find them on Amazon ca yet (Canada)

[@JimPappas-l8y]

I ordered my capri on 21 of December and still have not received it. This they are claiming they are lost in shipping. Looking forward to using them if they ever come.

[@JYJ772]

When are you going to do tekton double box ratcheting wrench 6months use review. Or did you already gave out

[@jefftovani5535]

I gave them away in a giveaway!! they were nice!!

[@JYJ772]

Sure it looked like a one of a kind😂

[@kmolles1]

Love my 120xp, but I do like how the Capri is more ridged. The Capri is just to long for me. I’ll jump on them when they offer a shorter model.

[@ShawnC8030]

I have all the 120xp locking ratchets including the 25". Also own the other capri set might have to get this new set to try out. I like the gearwrench alot. I do like that I can lock or unlock them. I do not like the play. Also the ball detent is wierd but they're all like that I'm wondering if it was by design

[@jefftovani5535]

Thanks shawn for joining in,Both sets have good and bad points!! overall thier both good!!

[@paulmendenhall5226]

I don't have nearly as many ratchets as you i do have some expensive ratchets but i bought the gearwrench comfort grip locking flex head ratchets and i was pleasantly surprised they felt great in the hand and i have used them for about a month now and really like them i have been looking for the carlyle and haven't been able to find them anywhere

[@Sethhaun78]

Capri finally...flex head s...seem nicer then gearwrench and power torque s...

[@toraarhus-sarauer7805]

The Capri blue is pretty, how do the handles feel?

[@mcsqueegee81]

Great! Not so thick like snap on comfort grip. But better feeling than GearWrench, which is fine just a little weird I think for how theirs feels

[@toraarhus-sarauer7805]

@mcsqueegee81 I was wondering cus they look like the snap on handles just with the grooves added

[@toraarhus-sarauer7805]

Thank you

[@jefftovani5535]

I like them,not as spongy as Snap On,not as hard as Icon, toraarhus!!

[@toraarhus-sarauer7805]

@jefftovani5535 ill have to check them out sometime

[@nordicjeff1]

What do you think is the 90 tooth gear wrench better than the 120? A lot of people seem to like the 90 tooth.

[@coltonjacobs5383]

Hey Jeff, could you compare the Capri to the Diehard ratchets? The heads look quite similar

[@Benzene3686]

That detent ball things bugs me! I really like my Gearwrench ratchets - they're overall great - but I can't understand why they do that with the detent ball.

[@jefftovani5535]

Yea that is wierd!! it bothers alot of people! thanks Benz!!

[@Stonewall999]

Might have to buy these

[@STREETFIGHTER50]

Love my 120XP’s!
