Snap On Friday: Clean Up Those Filthy Tools! Dealer's First Look At Tub O Towels And Tries Them Out

[@TonyMajo]

I think I could just watch videos of Clay cleaning dirty tools with tub-o-towels. Very satisfying.

[@anthonymartinez2982]

Damn clay is a genius he be saying shit off the top of his head and these big corporations just taking notes making money off his ideas

[@benjamincoats6533]

My dads starter on his dump truck has been held on with Irwin vis-grips for 18 years now lol snap on cant beat irwin on that.

[@goldhunter9641]

Vise Grip Brand Are The Best And We Have Over 350 Pairs Of Them In About Every Design They Make!! Also Those Sanding Disks Are Pretty Good For Certain Uses But They Don't Hold Up Long At All, In The Body Shop Bizdnuss LOL

[@Patriot-rising]

I absolutely hate Snap on vice grips. It is one of the few complaints when it comes to Snap-On is their vice grips. I use Irwin and Facom and both brands hold up well.

[@Jmm791]

On the topic of vintage snapon stuff ive got a couple of the plastic beer steins from 1984 with the barely dressed women on cars and stuff pretty neat previous dealer gave them to my dads dad

[@BIGWILLY8313]

I actually bought some because of you talking about them so much and I was amazed at how well they really do clean. I tried them on my hands and they work ok i dont like the sticky kind of feeling left behind but I don't think that's what they are for. but on tools and surfaces it just cleans them spotless and leaves no sticky feeling behind. Those tub o towels really do work. I bought them on Amazon. Worth it.

[@THExLAWxMAN]

My tub I towels work awesome, including a fishing trip recently. Makes your hands smell great. No ugly bait smell. And keeps your fishing gear clean too.

[@mr.sandman6873]

I told my kids when I die, dig a hole roughly the size of my ‘66 mustang, when they asked why I says “cuz y’all gonna wreck it and I wanna do some burnouts up in the sky”

[@robertmundell5532]

It’s great watching your videos good to see the difference in snap-on tool dealers what they hold on there vans and your dealers hold all different brands where our dealers on this side of the pond only do snap-on .

[@leandrewcordova3990]

Been using the gojo towels they work good to started with Snapon brand and latest is tub o towels like them all but for them money tub o towels for sure

[@CallmeYeshua]

I'm a believer, definitely gonna get some for the shop, thanks guys

[@robinpayne278]

I use the plastic bristle wheels a lot at work, their great for cleaning off the old body sealer on panel joints when a new panel has been fitted also for cleaning off flaking paint & loose rust. they dont wear the metal away like abrasive discs. We also use the scotchbrite discs.

[@mike_holdread]

I use those flap discs at work every so often. Fits my four inch DeWalt grinder. I use it to grind welds down and for panel fitment issues. We call them tiger paws

[@harveysmith100]

The Knipex mini bold cutters are one of those tools you don't think you need until you own them. The 10" 250mm are my favourite and choose the one with the starter notch.

[@TheFlick175]

There are amazing cars from the 90s and 2000s you fools!

[@ryanwhalen3378]

1st comment ! ITS FINALLY SNAP ON FRIDAY! And it’s over 30 minutes !? This is fixin to be a dang good video!

[@madeinusa1576]

Nice to see the tools getting cleaned I ain’t the only one! I do Hvac not as much grease but the get dirty but I use the blue monsters on mine! Great video as always keep em comin

[@tannercason8377]

Man the conversations you to have are the best.

[@mikecolvin4827]

Those tub o towels are amazing life changing

[@MarkK01]

The brand of flap discs ABN makes some great tools as well. I have a 6 pc ratcheting wire crimpers from them and it is the best wire crimpers I have used. It has the interchanging jaws.

[@fortini01]

70 Pontia Le Mans convertible, man oh man do I miss that ol car!

[@thedude4762]

That hub scrub is awesome idk why i didnt get it a while back I actually just used it yesterday

[@ianmiller4298]

Snap on hand towels work pretty great as well I’ve figured out

[@claytonscheiber3493]

I love my classic cars. I still have my 1st car. Got it 99. It's a 73 Camaro, small block 406, 411s, posi, roll cage, it's more strip than street now.

[@pullenjo]

Finally been waiting for this video for 1 week. Love from the UK addicted to your vids now.

[@TinoR626]

if you need a 24mm socket like the O2's what you need is a nox/soot sensor socket. Lisle 12290, Sp Tools 15500 or Matco MST15500, tho the matco is just the SP tool set, Reall g good I prefer it over the Lisle kit.

[@gregcothrum4045]

Great video y'all have a great weekend and stay safe 👍

[@TJSPLACE]

I bought 2 tubs of the Tub O Towels and lemme tell you they are the bomb!

[@tobbytownsend9968]

I use those flap discs on my 4 1/2 inch grinder all the time. Never had a supplier for the roloc versions

[@jimf8800]

If I wasn’t half a sleep I would’ve realized your using 4.5”. I haven’t looked for that size. The smaller works great in my 12V RT angle Milwaukee die grinder.

[@robconant333]

Boy it’s hotter than 2 squirrels playin in a wool sock in fla! Happy Friday! 🇺🇸

[@blazebox71]

Its hotter than the devils buttcrack here in Texas to

[@_thelocalsonly]

Its hotter than a hoochie coochie out here in Cali

[@tankdiesel9738]

It’s hotter than a whores door on nickel night😂

[@mmholling87]

"Hotter than a frying pan" "hotter than a $5 pistol"

[@philip600rr]

2 weeks ago it was 111 here in NorCal....

[@down_n_dirty6723]

The green and yellow brush are good for cleaning rtv off i use them all the time

[@thomasstentz3295]

Loctite Sf7070 spray cleaner nice citrus smell love the cleaning power of it

[@oldman3388]

I wish I had all the cars from my teens and 20s and they were always super clean inside and out just like my tools.🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@l0gical974]

This is the only way I clean my tools, nothing beats it

[@scottsmrcka2769]

My brother had an Eagle Talon. It was cool. I don’t care what any kid says. Lol. That thing was some fast.

[@MrTacticaljellybean]

Tub of towels are awesome I finally got my work to buy those instead of the gojo citrus wipes

[@raygee1138]

Right off the bat, the first time I used the upgraded pliers and screwdriver sets with those miserable red or orange handles I couldn't wait to get back on the truck the next week and chew out the Snap=-On dealer.....and maybe get me traded in tools back! He calmed me down and showed me his quick trick, which is to use a squirt of WD-40 and a clean rag....and it worked fantastic! Now I keep a can of the old WD in everyplace I have tools. Thanks Clay, this is yet another great MotorMouth radio topic for us to "borrow" from you guys.

[@KoonTrucking]

Try the tub o towels you will like them better

[@randycox7182]

35 year mechanic and I use tub o towels daily. Clean your tools, your hands and even your face with them.

[@GrimmsAutoService]

I'm working on a 75 olds cutlass right now look about the same as my first car a 77 malibu we can figure out where to hook up the scan tool :)

[@cucolopez1942]

Clay I would love to take that 3rd gen off your hands👍🏽

[@KoonTrucking]

When I finally decide to sell it there’s plenty wanting it ! Haha

[@bbrock81188]

I always keep a tub of towels in my car anytime I work on anything play Work X1 for 20 minutes permanent marker even have used them to clean the inside of the car crazy how good they work

[@PaganWizard]

Clay, take your son to a few car shows, and then to a drag strip, and watch how fast he starts loving "old" cars.

[@cashlp5425]

I have that landing gear socket wrench and it works like a charm! They work best on a 767

[@jonathanmellodge4263]

I use 3" Roloc on 2" arbor comes in handy to clean wheel pads on trailer hubs aluminum wheels on steel hubs since the pads on hub are under wheel studs

[@reneavila7108]

I love my tub o’ towels. They’re big wipes and clean my tools easily

[@lancesurgeon7614]

Hamilton needs to use Tub-O-Towels on his hat!!! LOL!!!

[@JGorman1]

Hmmm. They say you can uses tub o towels on carpet.. Come on Hamilton, take the challenge...

[@DogRedful]

Just Amazon'ed some Tub O Towls...looking forward to polishing my dirty tools.

[@deesenutz3631]

Those flap disks look AWESOMEEEEE, I need to get me some of them!

[@infernoeagles5812]

Lmfao he said pig mat 🤣 man ever time I say that word all my Co workers look at me like I'm from a alien world

[@gasman8750]

Tub O Towel does a fine job cleaning your tools, leaves your face feeling deep cleaned & moisturized, & also works great as a substitute to baby wipes :-p

[@indianabrandon3029]

Love my knipex!! I’m not a mechanic just a millwrite 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@rockstarfan886]

Tub o towels makes hand cleaner and upholstery cleaner

[@lonewolfyz1]

Tub o towels even has a hand cleaner in a jug that I found while searching the rags on Amazon

[@stephenross9282]

Yeah that's how it's been the past few days here in san antonio. Just like someone is breathing right on you all over you lol

[@ozzie1644ify]

Down to earth easy going vendor, I would buy tools from him if he was in Los Angeles...

[@LethalDentCompany]

We use those purple clean and strip disks a lot in body shops

[@justinmaultz7804]

I use tub O towels because of you ! Good for your hands too.

[@eduardoyepez7358]

I bought those plastic wheel for my cordless sander and it works wonders for cleaning water pump surfaces! I love that thing! Just hate the color (neon volt) but they didn’t have a red one /:

[@goldhunter9641]

I Just Sold A 90 Model Full Size Bronco XLT In Good Shape With 5.0 Automatic Overdrive And All Power Options With 126000 Original Miles. It Needed A New Fuel Pump And It Had 4 New Tires With The Factory Aluminum Wheels, But I Didn't Want it No Longer And Let It Go For $1,250 Cash

[@upnorth5465]

Those yellow and white brushed are awesome. Use them every time I'm cleaning up intakes, valve covers pans and exhaust manifolds. People say they scratch aluminum too much but I have never had an issue using the white ones and I use them a ton.

[@paulmendenhall5226]

You got me hooked on them tub o towels

[@redmist131]

As long as he used the towel on the exhaust pipe and not the paint! Guaranteed scratched on the paint if used on the truck itself! Gotta love keeping tools clean, represents what type of person you are for sure!

[@KoonTrucking]

They won’t hurt the paint. I wipe my tool box down with them all the time. I’ve cleaned bird droppings off my cars and trucks. Cleaned the plastic mirror covers, inside the gas doors. They don’t damage paint because they are super soft they don’t cheat and use that rough side bull crap to make you think they work better than they do. Both sides are as soft as a baby wipe

[@johnbrinkley1440]

Uline makes a purple degreaser in a gallon jug and it cost 6 bucks and it’s amazing

[@curtin94]

Man im not even that old and i can respect the 90s Camaros! how can you say no to a freaking Camaro!!

[@86mdwolfie]

I use Frontier Super Penetrant to clean my tools and it works great.

[@quiksol]

tub o towels are my everything, cleans tools and hands...

[@themaestro7922]

Was thinking the EXACT same thing today: There needs to be a Tub O Towels juice bottle so that we can spray things and scrub them with a toothbrush, and so on.

[@andybub45]

Purple power?

[@themaestro7922]

@@andybub45 hey, hey, we don't need any purple supremacists around here. Like Barney. But yeah! I use purple power in my reefer condensers so they can maintain their air flow! Never thought about if it's similar to Tub-o-Towels juice.

[@bobbygarrett9588]

Thank Goodness my local Napa has recently started selling Tub O Towels. Thanks Clay.

[@jamesford1096]

I just got myself a tub of those towels! Love them!! Should of listened to you a long time ago!!!

[@CallmeYeshua]

Those flats are all we use. Never seen those rubber ones

[@dieseldr58]

Clay, I just bought the 24mm sensor crows foot for the particulate matter sensors. Had to have Matco order it. Snap on doesn’t carry it. Matco #. TG15510. $51.03

[@TheCerroFam]

Part number on the long pliers please. love your channel keep up!!!

[@KoonTrucking]

I can check next week

[@TheCerroFam]

Thanks your the best. Have a good weekend

[@Toolaholic7]

I have a thing of Tub O' Towels on my tool cart,use them to wipe my tools off now.You got me to use them and believed you.The rolac discs do have a drawback,take off too much material off at a fast rate on a diegrinder for gasket removal.GM had this problem big time and put out a TSB out not to use them.They were replacing engines from use of them.The little pieces of aluminum oxide got in the oil causing engine failure

[@venom762]

At my dealership we would have been walked to the door if we used them.

[@chiefin3615]

I have done so many head jobs where I use the white rolac discs to do head jobs for lifters. Never had one problem. Clean the head and block with them on GM's, especially 5.3's. I don't see a problem with them at all as long as you keep a slower speed.

[@Toolaholic7]

Not an approved way to remove gasket material using the plastic and abrasive versions.GM put that TSB out in 2001 not to use them

[@unclebob4208]

The aircraft wrench is spendy, but check the prices for beryllium copper tools for working on MRI machines.

[@mvcg-cl4cr]

Cost about as much as that 100th anniversary 1/4 snap on set🤣

[@CalebsCars]

I talk about this every Friday at work lol

[@Rapidmp3]

Tuff stuff and a shop rag clean off my tools like brand new

[@crazeddiesel]

Tub-o-towels have their place in the shop for sure when it comes to cleaning tools but when it comes to hands being cleaned… Joes Hand Cleaner.

[@theone9564]

Bro...I miss my 1991 camaro it was lipstick red. I still shed a 😢. When me my wife married my father in-law bought my an 89 camaro but wasn't the same. Swaped it for washer and dryer for my new home.

[@Mark-oc9ig]

Love snap on Fridays

[@john-jo9sw]

Brake clean and a rag works good to lol

[@KoonTrucking]

Rough on comfort grips. It will break them down eventually

[@etchosts8162]

Where can i get them flap discs?

[@mike_holdread]

Clay, keep it up, you'll be on commission with Hamilton soon. Gonna sell everything to your brother. Lol

[@billythemechanic8233]

Good video clay !! I believe Hamilton’s son takes after his mom knock ya out or hurt ya feelings lol they call them trucks squirter squatters around here

[@jacksshed2450]

Much prefer British Made Mole Grips to vise grips. Easier to use and grab just as good!

[@venom762]

I'm a diagnostic tech by trade and my tools go back in my box clean. I mean I use my tools as intended just want them clean.

[@HighGrade_FireBlade]

Plain old baby wipes work at least 90% as well as tub o towels do

[@Patriot-rising]

Wondering how to keep Snap-On pliers from discoloring? The grips are easy to keep clean. But the metal has a finish that seems to make them hard to clean. If I could upload pics it would show what I am trying to explain. Every other tool I have purchased from Snap on look basically new . But them dang pliers..

[@christiandarosa993]

Local dealership was using the roloc discs for cleaning up cylinder heads and blocks on subarus Long story short I bought alot of mechanic special subarus over the course of about a year, and most of them came with a fresh invoice from said dealership for cylinder head gasket jobs within 10k miles, and they all needed new short blocks 😆 I later heard they stopped using those because of the TSB about the roloc discs, and if you didn't know there's a TSB about them, look into it

[@ecleveland1]

Clay, I'm just a few years older than you and I got my first car in 86. It was a 1979 Trans Am special edition or what many call the "Bandit Edition". It was black on black with T-tops and all the gold pinstripes and gold firebirds. I was clocked by a friend of mine in the police department at 152 mph on highway 49 one day. It still had some to go but I backed out of it because I got worried we would get caught by the Highway Patrol and at that speed, it would have been straight to jail and a call to daddy! I would give just about anything to have that car again.

[@redbandit8086]

Lol meanwhile I work on classic cars alot since the shop i work at specializes in that 🙃

[@ricardorodriguez-se7tp]

Wow never seen those I need to get an order of those for myself.

[@Teenagewasteland1000]

Back when I was in high school I kept stealing the keys to my dads 70 chevelle which he eventually gave it to me, then once I got that I tried to steal the keys to his 69c10 muscle truck. That one wasn’t going out of his hands. Then for a first car I’ve always wanted a 87 monte, or a Camaro with a TBI 350 which I know the motors are starved for power but still cool. Back when I used to work at a garage a buddy had a 95 z28 it was sharp and with a t56 in it. Always black marks everywhere

[@tommydarroch9005]

When I was 16 (2 years ago) I bought a 96 Camaro love that thing still daily driving it. She's old but reliable as hell don't let your kids hate on those f bodies. Id love to see pictures of your Camaro Clay!

[@Dotz155]

Are the tub o towels better then the snap on ones they sell?

[@KoonTrucking]

I like tub o towels best

[@xhunterbobx]

Hey does Hamilton have any more of those orange snap-on hats like he was wearing in one of your previous videos. I would like to buy a few.

[@frankkeener613]

I have a ssdmrm mini ratcheting screwdriver with removable shanks. I heard they are rare, do you know anything about them?

[@SawyerSmoak]

Have you tried the Gojo wipes? I go with them just because my local Napa keeps them in stock.

[@KoonTrucking]

Napa carries Tun O Towels too but I don’t like the white residue they will leave on your tools or the scratchy side (because even on the soft side the scratchy junk comes through) and I use mine on paint and surfaces I don’t want scratched

[@jeffmoss26]

Tub o towels best in the biz!!
