FYI: Here is why they all performed well, No Matter Who makes the wrench, if it is made out of Chrome Vanadium, it will PERFORM!! I am a professional Factory Trained & ASE Certified Mechanic with 50 years experience. Chrome Vanadium IS Chrome Vanadium, . . . . no matter who makes it into a tool. I have 45 year old Japanese no name wrenches that I used on Industrial Heavy equipment, and they have NEVER broken. Why, Chrome Vanadium. If money is of no matter to you, then buy the OVER EXPENSIVE Snap On crap. If you want to have other things in life, like a house, a car, a HUGE flat screen tv, a wife, and kids, then buy the tool for its warranty, not its Name. Oh, Chrome Vanadium that is NOT chrome plated exists: Impact Sockets are made of it.

What some guys do not understand is that there are professional tools, and then there are DIY tools. It really irks me when guys buy HF tools and then try and use them in a professional shop setting, then trash them online for breaking. Thank you for the vid, Blake!

Never had an issue with the cheaper Pittsburghs besides the skipping. Of course I don't reef on the open ends because that's not what they're for, but sometimes I suppose that would be the only option. In those cases you'd probably want one of the anti-slip options from other brands.

As said before the hardness/strength of the corners on the nut is what’s failing at 99 Ftlb regardless of the wrench used. Obviously all the wrenches tested are stronger than the nuts. Maybe try the same test with grade 8 hardware. As an aside cleaning your shop in the area you video would be a nice touch.

i think your hardware isn't strong enough to handle over 95 ft pounds and that's why they all ended up right there or the bolts broke.

Quinn has regular open end wrenches but only in their 428 piece master mechanic set.

I absolutely despise size skipping. Test the box ends of the wrenches. That’s where all the higher torque is.

I get what you are saying. Size skipping keeps me awake at night. It is aways the same nightmare. Where did the other wrenches go? Are they OK? Do they miss the other wrenches that are in the set. It all seems so tragic.

I have a lot of Pittsburgh wrenches they've all performed well for my applications, I have a lot of 1970's 80's Craftsman combos and double end boxed they're excellent when I need extra torque.

I've got a complete set of the Icon Anti-slip, along with both sets of jumbo/large size combo wrenches and a metric set of double-open end wrenches. They've been great and are holding up extremely well. They come out of the same factory as Napa Carlyle tools in Taiwan.

Use grade 8 hardware when testing, it's more consistent testing, when the soft stuff rounds over, it can wedge the open end apart, also giving inconsistent results. The comments on the open end, he is testing the open ends on all of them. I hate the skipping especially when it's one you need like the 15mm and 18mm

Whoever is making Carlisle from Napa is making Icon wrenches and sockets. If ya lose any Icon stuff the Carlisles makes great replacement

1:06.. get a wrench extender..it'll work better and the data will be more consistent also..start at 9 o'clock so that when you swing over and start building resistance you'll be at 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock and have room to go higher in ft/lbs

@BlazingBlakesGarage no problem..starting and stopping when doing analysis can be off putting for some viewers and gives an impression of inaccurate data...☝️
