Hey brother when are you going to add in some of the VIM tools to these tests? I have some of their tools and definitely would say they are more durable and better quality than any other brands. Just feel they need to be thrown into these tests to be completely fair. Love the videos!

As an auto tech I prefer the lever toggle to be hard to change direction. There is nothing I can not stand more than being in a really tight spot that is hard to get my arm into only to have the lever switch directions on me.

[@thewatcher611]

@@siegelge I have a 1/2" snap on ratchet, it's the only snap on i'll ever get, because of that switch. It's really easy to flip, and it's not recessed at all. I don't mind it on the big ratchet, I'm not usually using it in a tight space, (think caliper bracket bolts, or suspension). I do, however, like how smooth it is, and it's been strong enough to handle everything in the last say, 15 years, without ever replacing the head or internals.

​​@@ProjectFarm your reviews are the best. I have an interesting thing to tell you. I have a fake Honda generator, it is about 25 years old. It is 6.5kva 230v. That thing being 25 years old has all the compression. I can drag the generator by the pull start lol. Thing runs so beautiful. It takes about 1L of 20w50 oil. It has never ever burnt the oil. I serviced it last month ran it for 24 hours no load and it did not burn any oil and the spark blug looked brand new. So I think the Honda fakes have become way worse over the years. I would love you to review a tool brand I have in south africa called INGCO I don't know if you can get them in the US. Keep making these amazing reviews.

[@EDCandLace]

Couldn't agree more, I have been watching PF for a longgg time. If there is something I'm buying that fits within the type stuff he does videos on I will 100% search to see if he has a video on it. All my vehicles use the lines that he says is best as well as my 2stroke engines and boat engines. Outdoors tools I buy only what he says is best.

[@EDCandLace]

One more thing Guys and girls REMEMBER if you watch his video on something to find out what's best to buy for the money or whatever your reasoning.... If your buying ANYTHING on Amazon go to his channel and click on one of the links to Amazon and it doesn't matter what you buy (if you buy the item that's linked or not it doesn't matter he gets credit for the sell) he will get a little cut. For as much money as he saves us by showing us what's good and what's not and what the best performance to dollar products are best. He saves us money so use his links EVERY TIME you buy something. I click on a link on one of his videos pretty much everyday so he gets all my Amazon purchases bought thru his link. When you click on the link he gets a 24 hour cookie so anything you buy from Amazon within 24 hours of clicking his link he gets credit for it. Again for as much money as he saves us, the least we can do is make sure we click one of his links before we purchase anything on Amazon.

Years ago when i was starting out as a mechanic, i was being pressured by fellow mechanics to buy matco, mac, or snapon. They were telling me about the $30k of tools and toolboxes they had. Rather than going into debt for tools, I ended up buying a harbor freight toolbox, and a bunch of neiko tools. Ive upgraded some tools since, but most of the neiko tools are still in my box.

As a 50 year and still working mechanic, this is a great test video. I have just a couple SK tools bought in the 1970's. They are most times left out of thought by today's mechanics but they are very good quality USA made tools. SK used to have it's very own forging factory right next to the engineers that designed them in case they had an issue with a product, the engineers could take a short walk into the forge and see what is going on. SK is just not as advertised as the other USA tool companies but still are sold by industrial supply places like the one that starts with a G. They also used to be sold at auto parts stores across the USA. I still have a 1/4 inch deep socket set and have used it every week since around 1975, ZERO issues. I cannot speak for the quality today but it shows your testing can, thank you.

Wow nice price for sure! Though I don’t really have much use for ratchets without a flex head. All the testing for arc swing done here is often quickly nullified with a flex head just moving the handle out of the way of an obstruction and tripling the amount of room you have to work with.

[@michaeljohnson-li5nn]

Great and unbiased review as always Todd. As I work for Rolls-Royce (aerospace) here in the U.K. I have always preferred the build quality of Snap-on tools. RR employees can set up a trade account with Snap-on and I have purchased numerous hand tools, most of them for use at home when working on my cars and motorcycles. One thing to note is that at RR we always insist on using a socket wrench with FOD capability. FOD is short for Foreign Object Damage, that is to say if the ratchet mechanism fails then all the resulting damaged components are safety retained within the head of the ratchet itself. I asked my team leader as to why this is required, he stated that it if parts should fall inside the gas turbine engine then a complete strip is required to remove all these parts. Very expensive and time consuming. Not sure how you could test for the capabilities of each wrench to ensure it’s FOD rating. Regards from Nottingham U.K.

I’ve been a pro mechanic for 38 years, I always buy cheap tools that get the job done and give me higher profits per job. I’m not talking dirt cheap stuff but just above that, 2 years ago I got a cheap Amazon cordless ratchet for £45 and that thing has halved some job times. When I was in a garage some of the boys were in debt to the snap n man for hundreds, paying it off monthly, they’d take the piss out of me for my Halfords tool cabinet and Halfords tools but I got the jobs done same as them. You’ve got to be making some money to justify $220 on a ratchet, when a Halfords pro or a Britool has a lifetime guarantee for a fraction of the price.

[@Slane583]

It's bragging rights, that's all it is with Snap-On tools. Smart seasoned mechanics know where to spend their money better compared to others who show off their debt. I had a mechanic friend that would work on my previous truck when I needed work done that I couldn't do myself. Because I'm in a region with snowy winters vehicles are known to get rusty. When my friend worked on my truck for me installing new exhaust parts he quite literally broke four of his Snap-On wrenches and his Snap-On ratchet trying to get the nuts loosened from the exhaust manifold. When our local Harbor Freight opened he started buying their cheaper sockets and ratchets after breaking a few hundred dollars worth of Snap-On stuff. At least with the Harbor Freight stuff even if it did break it was a 15 minute drive into town and they would have replaced it on the spot no questions asked. As for the Snap-On tool truck the guy got to the point where he'd no longer replace things because he thought my friend was breaking them on purpose.

[@memory_null]

As someone who fell into the trap of buying Snapon, while I don't necessarily regret it, I've been trying to teach your younger techs that there are MANY great tool brands out there and that If I had to start all over with what I know now, very little of my toolbox would be Snapon. There are a handful of great Snapon tools but 99.9% aren't worth the money. Sadly some of these young bucks can't see reason and that shiny Snapon truck is too hard to resist. SMH

The back drag test is brilliant! Direction change effort is complicated b/c a loose lever can get switched when you don’t want it to if it’s bumped working in a tight spot. Also the actual ease of changing direction depends a lot on the lever shape itself. Great tests, as usual. Thank you.

[@mediocreman2]

Agreed. That shouldn't be included in the ranking because a switch flipping too easily can be a pain, because it can happen multiple times with one bolt, whereas I usually need to change direction only once.

High profile change levers reversing themselves in tight spots is annoying. And having stiff levers requiring pliers to switch directions (Milwaukee electric ratchet) is extremely annoying and time consuming.

It's a shame there's no good way to test the 'it doesn't burn down the house' metric. Having been through this quite a lot, the Prince of Darkness (PG&E) is our power source, my only advice is to avoid Ecoflow. I've had two failures from those. They're well marketed though. Not very impressive. If you're handy, you can build your own, and it's probably the only way to get cost-effective larger sizes, but admit that the all-in-one units are handy. My take is to own several smaller ones (which gives you backup on your backup) and avoid extension cords. It's a funny sizing problem since power usage tends to come in small (lighting and radios) and big (HVAC and large appliances).

[@quetzal4042]

Several years ago me and a friend were rebuilding an engine and having a devil of a time getting the crankshaft pulley bolt loose. He pulled out his old very long Snap-On ratchet, probably from the 1970s. We put a 6-foot pipe on the handle and we were both pushing on the end of the pipe as hard as we could, surely with at least 100 lb of force each. I was astonished that (a) he would put his beloved tool to such a test and (b) that it didn't break. I'm confident we had well over 1000 ft-lb of force on that ratchet.

[@insurgentlowcash7564]

Oh yeah those old 20/32 tooth Snap On 1/2 drives are pretty much breaker bars. Cheap on the used market and rebuildable on the cheap. Ive also worked the old 24 tooth Proto long handle with extension bars and not broke them. You can still get the USA Proto 24 tooth new for a reasonable price, especially for long handle ratchets.

[@brianf8621]

I had a big friend with a 6ft piece of pipe on a old craftsman 1/2”. I asked what broke when it came loose. Sad to say craftsman is a does not have that quality anymore.

My FLF80 has taken an absolute beating over the last two decades as my daily driver in the shop I also rebuilt my old dodge truck and all my Hondas with it it’s just now starting to have a direction change issue. These tests are great and all but under normal work loads I can almost guarantee the Snap-on and Mac will keep going longer than most these cheaper ratchets.

[@ProjectFarm]

[@gregkimura5906]

These tests are awesome! I've owned a Craftsman (came as a set with some metric sockets) for over 25 years. Still works perfectly, no sloppy feel and also looks great. Made in USA Craftsman were great tools indeed! Since I've had this Craftsman ratchet, I haven't had a need to buy another one. If I remember correctly, I think I paid $29 for the entire set - back when Sears was still in business. I'd say it was a great value and I wish their new tools were as well made. Over the years, I've been given some cheap, made in China ratchets. The quality is poor, the force needed to turn the forward/reverse lever is far too high and the finish is very poor. They just sit in my toolbox collecting dust - I should donate them! Fantastic test methodology! I learn a lot from these videos and I've used them to make buying decisions! You're doing a great job - Thank you!

Love my Gearwrench ratchets! It's incredible how good they are from a price/performance perspective, there's literally no reason to buy a tool truck brand when they outperform them for 1/4th the cost. Thanks again Todd for the superb testing :) Also, another video idea - mattresses. Can test which have least pressure points, which are most durable to cousin eddie jumping on them, but most importantly which are actually the "coolest" since so many claim cooling capabilities and for us hot sleepers, would be a huge win to know which one is actually best!

[@User-y9t7u]

Seconded

[@TassieLorenzo]

Gearwrench ratchets are great! It's a kind of a shame that not all Gearwrench products are good though -- the wrenches and ratcheting wrenches made in China are not brilliant. You kind of need to see the "Made in Taiwan" to make sure you are getting a good Gearwrench product. Somehow I can't imagine Cousin Eddy being all that fussy about mattresses, lol...

[@pongyang8705]

I worked as a mechanic for 7 years and used snap-on, Matco, Mac, and Gearwrench ratchets. What I keep in my personal toolbox is a set of 1/4” & 3/8” Gearwrench ratchets. They get the job done (daily use) and saved me a bunch of money in comparison.

[@I-HAVE-A-BOMB]

Gear wrench and Matco extremely similar. Only thing different is matco has more beafy pawls and gear

[@1pcfred]

What this test proves is they're all capable. Even the worst performer still works. When Todd took them ratchets apart they were all pretty dry inside. You can seriously improve the performance of a ratchet by just lubing the thing. If it's making a high pitched tinging sound it needs lube. Don't pack it full of grease but a light film does the trick.

[@pongyang8705]

@1pcfred True.. I will add though that usage in a home garage is quite different from use in an actual repair shop. In a shop, tools get dropped in buckets of used oil and coolant all the time. They also get dropped on the ground and beat up from normal daily use. This adds a lot of wear and tear and also introduces dirt, oil, grime into critical areas of the tool. Not all tools are created equal even though they perform the same task. And not all ‘premium’ and expensive tools are worth the money when comparing to lower cost alternatives. However, there are lower cost alternatives that perform at or higher than the level of more expensive equipment. And that right there is the very reason why this channel has millions of subscribers. We all want to know what the ‘best bang for buck’ is. That doesn’t always mean we’ll go out and buy the best performing thing there is for the money. People still buy the brand they want to buy at the end of the day.

The difference is found over time. Premium tools usually last for years without problems cheap tools work well early on, but wear out sooner. I have found that to be true with my own experiences. Tools that rarely use I will buy cheaper made because the demand on the tool is not there. Tools I use every day I buy premium because in the long run they save me more money.

First, thank you! I understand your difficulty in determining objective data for a single hand tool. In reality, no one is going to purchase four different brands of hand tools based upon objective data. The pros (I was a pro) are going to use the tool that is easily replaceable with a lifetime warranty, assuming it doesn't suck. This is why Mac and Snap-on are popular high end tools in the US. This is also why inexpensive tools are generally avoided. The sweet spot for home mechanics used to be Craftsman. For decades, if you broke it, Sears would replace it in about one minute. I've done some research based upon that criteria and found Tekton to be the new DIY sweet spot.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.

[@busman2050]

I agree to a point, but over $200 for a Snap On ratchet?? It's a rip off

You may find someday that Snap-on's warranty isn't all that easy. While you're still putting the driver's kids through school he'll take care of you. But once he retires the next guy ain't gonna know you from Adam. Then things have a way of changing. Most Mac stuff ain't even made in the USA either. If it doesn't say USA on it then it ain't. It's not like they just forgot to mark it. For a little while Snap-on was playing that game too. They dropped the USA marking off their tools. They were testing the waters. They got a lot of flak over that.

I have all my father's tools. He was an auto mechanic for over forty years. He had several S-K ratchets, but they were not made in China. I took all the ratchets apart and cleaned and greased them two years ago. The pawls on his S-Ks were very worn, but they are still the best ratchets I've ever used. I wish there were a way to compare the old ones with the current crop of tools from China. My dad used these ratchets for decades under big loads and they work beautifully, so I have to believe they are better than the ones in your tests.

This is one of the best channels in the history of KZbin. I watch the vids even when it's testing things I'll never buy 😂

Thanks for watching!

Hands down you have the best review channel on KZbin. Only brand missing in this video was Milwaukee.

Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Gear Wrench makes an unbelievably great product. Since an earlier review done on this channel I’ve gone all in and couldn’t be happier. You don’t have to second mortgage the house to get superb results.

I bought the Neiko ratchet set and I wanted to say Thank You. Love the videos, keep up the good work.

Thanks, will do!

Love the videos, I now almost exclusively look for your videos or someone doing something similar before buying a new product. With winter on the way it's often hard to keep food warm for those who work outdoors, I'd love to see a video on what the best electric Lunch box is.

Thanks for the suggestion.
