“When your threads are a mess, reach for a Nes.” Old school catchy catchphrase, love it haha

[@TH-bj1pb]

But not really needed damaged Subaru wheel bolts on since replacing them is too easy

[@gripedgetools]

Thanks for stopping by the GripEdge Tools booth and showcasing our RPT (Rounding Prevention Technology)! 🙌

[@MrCthieke]

I just bought a set from my cornwell dealer. Great set so far

[@hazet-werk]

It was great to welcome you to our stand. Thank you for your visit! 😊

[@ihavethedocuments2580]

Hazet looks top notch

[@matthewweaver1123]

I will say this. Wera wrenches are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I bought a pack of the hex plus wrenches for use at work. I've never had a set of allen keys hold up so well. I used the 3mm so much, the color coded plastic sheath came off, but the ball end and standard end still look like new. I've handed them to co workers who had hex bolts that were stuck and and the head was stripped out, and he was so impressed that they cracked the bolts loose that he showed me his metric pack the following week.

[@PhilipBlank]

There will always be space for Wera and Knipex in any of my tool bags! Love the Hex Plus wrenches!

[@matthewweaver1123]

@PhilipBlank absolutely, have the knipex pliers wrench with the smooth jaws in 2 different sizes. I handed the larger pair to a different co worker to use on a 23mm bolt holding a 40hp motor to a frame last week. Once they bite the only thing stopping you from breaking the bolt loose is your own strength. It's impressive.

[@PhilipBlank]

Ah man can’t beat the smooth jaws. People are always shocked if they’ve never used them before. I’ve got the suite of cobras and two plier wrenches, but I’ve got my eyes on a couple more and a set of the jaw covers!

[@rhomboyant8392]

My ToolCheck plus is surprisingly my go to piece of kit when working on my VW engine. The T30 bit in that kit has broken loose more bolts/screws than any other bit ive ever owned and is still pristine. It’s the only bitset that I absolutely make sure to never misplace even one - where as my Milwaukee bits I pretty much treat as disposable.

[@wespotter6985]

The German and Japanese tools are almost too good to be used. They are a work of art, very clever engineering

[@geoffap0]

Love seeing quality tools and especially those that solve problems!

[@jamesbruno5896]

Some very unique tools thanks Mr Subaru

[@joebelichio6974]

These manufacturers need to start selling in Australia! We want good tools but dont have a huge range to choose from.

[@pmags1331]

Looking forward to more videos from SEMA . Great tools .

[@gojiraforbreakfast]

Thanks for sharing dude! Very interesting products indeed.

[@OneManAndHisThoughts]

That stamp ID kit is calling for my credit card

[@robcole332]

Awesome video. Love tools. Thanks

[@Legend2KiII]

Love the HAZET tools

[@sethphillips4779]

Lol, I was surprised when bad dog said they were in Bristol RI, i work and went to school there! Turns out, they're *directly* across the street from us, small world! Will definitely be looking into their bits as we burn through tons of them drilling composites.

[@chadroy16]

love Hazet.

[@Christosan88]

cool

[@ermektoktosunov5436]

Veru good

[@__--JY-Moe--__]

jeez! hotdog! some1's got there thinking caps on!! nice! vid...

[@Albertcortes66]

ive been using spider bit but i have to try baddog one

[@Mack_Dingo]

Spring Tools are the best center punches

[@user-cx8om2bp9n]

Hazet Remscheid❤❤❤. Greetings from Germany Upperfranconia

[@emiliog.4432]

I would've liked to have seen Gedore Tools new wheel hub thread restorer. It's more compact than others.

[@jwilkers1]

2:47 Those Joker wrenches are marginal at their very best. This is the set that I regret the most. The open end slips much too easily even though there's lots of bracing I've had these slip on so many bolts I don't trust the open end any more. The closed end is decent and will hold up to normal amounts of torque but the backlash required to ratchet the mechanism is very inconsistent especially in the smaller sizes. The best feature of these wrenches is the color banding corresponding to different sizes because it makes picking the right wrench super easy. Sadly, instead of making small raised panels to help protect the coloring it is at the same level at the face of the wrench and my bands started showing wear very early on. I do really like the satin finish to the wrenches I like the raised numbering and the size of it helps when you don't have your glasses on, but these are not priced as what they are they're priced at what the marketing can make you think they are. Unless you're going to use the nut holding feature all the time and you can stomach the overpricing steer clear of these, you'll thank me later

[@Boodoo4You]

I’m a Wera fanboy, and even I wouldn’t buy them. Probably their worst tool IMO. I absolutely love their Tool-Check and Bicycle Set 3, and their Hex/Torx keys are second to none. Jokers are a joke though lol

[@Blobb2013]

They are still on my wishlist and i will pull the trigger on them at some point. Imo they are the most innovative wrenches out there. The ammount of utility they offer over pretty much any other wrench is pretty sick. The fact that they are thin and you can approach a bolt from pretty much any angle with the open side is a win in my books. To be fair i watched project farms video about them and the open end was pretty terrible in terms of grip strengh, which is dissappointing, but i doubt that this will be a problem all the time. I personally avoid using the open side for torquing down a bolt as much as possible. The ammount of time i slipped off a bold head and rounded it off with any other wrench is high. There is just no better feeling than slipping off a bolt with cold hands and hitting something hard. The boxed end and the ratcheting mechanism was one of the best overall.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

People still use the open ends ?

[@jwilkers1]

@@LemonySnicket-EUC well not with these unless you want busted knuckles

[@Toolaholic7]

Spring Tools does make the spring loaded punches and chisels for Snap On

[@MrSubaru1387]

Yup

[@rudydaberry122]

Oh wow I seen Michael on the grip edge panel and I recently spoke to him and he sent me a free rpt socket to test! They work very well!

[@gripedgetools]

Hey Rudy! We will be sharing your video soon. We love to see the wins and how our RPT Star Bit Sockets are making your daily work easier 💪

[@masterofnonetv8361]

The nes works great on perfect threads, how come he didnt have damaged bolts to demonstrate on?

[@CompuFixMobile]

SEMA is heaven of tools! Too bad we the people mostly never hear about these amazing tools anywhere locally and only hear or find about them when we take the time to search them somehow! 🤔

[@83justus]

Hazet is super great quality tool manufacturer and i like to use these but in Finland there are no good after sale stores. Bring those quality tools in Finland so we can bye it...!!

[@zoneric1953]

Hi, Mr Subaru, Have you received the MP900-TS scan tool?

[@JPMc2112]

Proto has had those style hex bits for years.

[@psubond]

Where were those were wrenches when i was working on hornets 😢

[@aanntthhoonnyy]

Damn. That joker wrench. You just cost Me some money.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Uh oh! Lol

[@rfeliciano]

I'd like to know if I need to reset my MPG and how to go about it on my 2011 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5L. Is it possible to do it?

[@railroadsniper]

I know the RBRT and RPT stuff does work from watching your videos, but when he did the good hex bit on the bad hex bolt, he had the ratchet going the wrong direction. Idk if it would've taken it out or not, but still. For the principle if anything.

[@removefromme]

Our Cornwell Dealer in our area has that RPT demo block on the truck. RBRT and RPT are legit. Just had our Mac Dealer order me another set of the RBRT.

[@railroadsniper]

@@removefromme Yeah, I know they are legit, I'm just saying on the principle of honesty, it would've been good for him to have the ratchet going in the right direction for all of the tests he demonstrated. It could've just been an honest mistake, but idk since I'm not the demonstrator.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Played with the demo block myself. The normal hex socket won’t grab the rounded bolt.

[@removefromme]

@@railroadsniper I'd say honest mistake. If the product wasn't worth a crap, then it would have been intentional.

[@railroadsniper]

@@MrSubaru1387 Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to know for sure now. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos! They've been a great resource

[@802Garage]

Those Bad Dog drill bits look good. Wish I could afford them, hahaha.

[@Madrid-ee8qf]

They have terrible reviews

[@Sundayfunnies]

On Amazon, baddog drill bits have 1.7 stars. Almost everyone says the bits are the worst.

[@802Garage]

@@Sundayfunnies Dang! How disappointing.

[@DavidLeon140m3]

ive used them and they are junk \@@TylerSnyder305

[@jesusisalive3227]

​@TylerSnyder305 Try drill hog bits, they also have a lifetime warranty.

[@michaelregalia2539]

You should be in a relationship with project farm

[@121dodgers]

I need rpt in t-6,8,9, and10 please!!!

[@vinnyivanov2906]

So the problem with rethreading is its usually on an exhaust bolt where you can barely fit your hand and nothing else. Neat idea and great innovation but not compact enough

[@2chipped]

You could probably grind some material off their tool,and take several progressive passes.

[@PhilogusRex]

10:48 I guess he's never heard of a cheater pipe 😂

[@TrackstarBR]

I wish hazet was easier to get and didn’t have to order them.

[@GeneralRazec]

I may have to give Bad Dog Tools my money. Lifetime drill bits. Pretty amazing.

[@goldar4846]

A fool and his money are easily parted...

[@UncleFjester]

*every graduate of the Shamwow school of snake oil!*

[@gregorybetz3599]

Bad dog is a scam. I owned the cut off wheel and the drill bits. Both fell apart after light usage and they wouldn't honor there warranty. DO NOT BUY

[@MrSubaru1387]

😱😱😱

[@jesserouth2725]

Are you kidding. My bad dog cut off wheel has cut through stucco, Steel ground anchors, and conduit and has had no issues. Had it over a year

[@mikeylarsen1267]

There's a video floating around of a cut off wheel review and it's not a total scam but it's like bringing a Leatherman to work on a car. It'll probably work in a pinch but not well.

[@jonathanlombard8897]

I've had the bits for 20 + years. My problem with the warranty is that if you lose the broken bit before returning it, you're out of luck.

[@p__jay]

@@jonathanlombard8897why would they replace a bit that YOU lost 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lawrencebarber1551]

Spend the money buy the mac version its alot easier to warranty!

[@ashhks]

Hello Mr. Subaru, I'm a huge admirer of your videos, and I was hoping you could help me with a problem. I own a Subaru Impreza 2009 EJ20 non-turbo. About two weeks ago, it started stuttering at cold starts, lasting for at least 5 seconds before clearing up. Additionally, when driving, it occasionally stutters, emitting black smoke from the exhaust. This only occurs when maintaining a constant speed at 2800 or 4000 rpms but if I stepped on it all the power is there and it feels ok. I've tried the following replacements and cleaning procedures: - Spark plugs - Upstream and downstream O2 sensors - Ignition coils - MAP sensor - Air Mass sensor - Throttle body cleaning - Checking for vacuum leaks Despite these efforts, the issue persists. :'( I would greatly appreciate your advice on what steps to take next.

[@johnpanek5203]

Bad/leaking fuel injector putting too much gas in, grab a code it may tell you which one or just pull them all. Good luck!

[@ashhks]

Thank you for the information, but there are no codes thrown, maybe I'll check the injectors. Thanks again!

[@raypencosky8296]

Does anyone know if wheels from a 2007 forester will fit a 2001 legacy? Is the bolt patern the same? Thx

[@MrSubaru1387]

Yes, they're both 5x100

[@BartlettRacing66]

Can you do a video on Subaru killing the STI and trying to promote the trash 2022+ wrx as their halo car, being worse in every way and even more expensive?

[@kheff46]

Wera guy is my buddy Dennis Surrarer! Awesome

[@fleamarketfread]

So many tools. So little money

[@laundrieshanging9077]

I like vera, but the toolchek plus kit i got, has alot of backdrag on the ratchet and the bits fit loosely. Not really impressed with the $80 kit. Great idea, implemented poorly

[@witterhemi]

is that who makes mac rbrt stuff?

[@grahamwaldo331]

Yes, kinda. They licensed the design to mac, but I don’t think they actually made them. I may be wrong, though.

[@gripedgetools]

@@grahamwaldo331 GripEdge Tools is the manufacturer of the RBRT line. And yup, we do actually make them 😎

[@gripedgetools]

Thats us! We launched our own line under our GripEdge name in late Feb 2023! Stay tuned for many new tools and innovations utilizing our RPT technology!

[@nagycsaba802]

Or you can hammer a torx bit in the bolt and it does the same thing no need to buy a new tool😂

[@loveforthegame3]

the WERA jokers are no fucking joke. I work on HIAB cranes palfingers gormachs etc. The hydraulic lines dont stand a chance with those wrenches. i absolutley love my wera wrenches,

[@valleygrown_dieseltech3444]

Isn’t that the old rbrt guy?

[@gripedgetools]

Thats Dan! He has always been with GripEdge Tools and GripTooling Technologies as we have been manufacturing the RPRT line for the last 5 years but have since launched under our own brand, GripEdge Tools! You'll be seeing a lot more from Dan. Stay tuned 😎

[@bb6love97]

Yup Mac tools

[@risunokairu]

5:00 wow this guy is literally stamping "SS" all over the table. 🤔

[@MikhaelWest]

Absolutely based

[@nightmarecivic]

Sooo just use a torq bit like I already do.

[@janbastein7355]

Hazet isn’t too bad, but extremely overpriced, not worth to buy from my experience .

[@gregcressey1791]

Those thread repair tools don't have good reviews especially for cost it's stupid expensive

[@user-dg5ni5yt6p]

Hate this video. I want everything!

[@rileyhopfauf6409]

@MrSubaru1387 i have a 2001 subaru legacy outback limited sedan 2.5l i had to take off my tps and when i put it back on it idles at 1500-1800rpms how do re align the sensor

[@willkelley7747]

Or u just use a torqx bit works just as good
