Savage Brand Tools: Every Tool's a Hammer

[@TSKseattle]

For years Craftsman tools were actually S-D or Proto. Their tool chests were Kennedy. You expected that quality from a rebranded tool. (now of course it's all chinese, but still warranted) Adam could do a deal with a quality manufacturer using his inputs like in this video and use his name to sell the line. It's not different from some movie star "creating" a perfume and putting her name on it

I was sold and have been growing the collection of team red tools since.

[@beatertechbeatertech2893]

I still have some of Grand Dads Craftsman tools, some from the 40's but most from the 50's 60's and each set came in a hinged metal box, some with hand written labels still taped to the outside. I may not have liked the man but I respect and appreciate all the effort and diligence that went into maintaining each set in working order clean and oiled etc. I miss the man who informed me on how to be a good person both examples of how to be and how not to be.

[@greggsatlauttamus9743]

Velcro. I just retired a small little plastic case I’ve nursed for over two decades. Velcro. I’m going to miss that cracked chunked out and broken case, but it took that long for harbor freight to finally offer a small plastic case, though slightly bigger, but better, AND has an intact plastic Hinge! So far. However, I’m thinking how nice it was not to deal with those two plastic latches on the front...Velcro!

If I had that set I could have taken off my suspension by now by using a wrench on the square side and inserting a torx inside the socket. Now instead I need to be on the hunt for old style spark plug socket (as per the haynes manual instructions) or wonder around the hardware store aimlessly hoping to find something that works...

[@IGmeanwell]

I have a Craftsman mechanics set that my father purchased me ten years ago. On the face of it, it’s a well designed blow molded case however I have had a few people open it upside down not realizing there is a right way to open it and all of the 3/8s sockets fall out (the 1/4 sockets are in the lockable part). It’s simultaneously great and frustrating. I have eyed those Milwaukee sets to go with my m18 and m12 tools but the craftsman haven’t failed me (while maybe not the best quality it’s still very good). On the subject of ratchets; my father who over the years as an engineer and mechanic, has one Snap On tool (a 3/8s ratchet) tool it’s also one of his oldest from 1970. It’s still the smoothest and most satisfying to use compared to the others.

[@wheels-n-tires1846]

I just wrapped up a 20yr diesel mechanic career. While I invested in SnapOn torque wrenches, air tools, and a few other specialty tools, the majority of my hand tools are 25yr old Craftsman, and they've survived quite well, in spite of what the $30K SnapOn box owners said... Split a few chrome sockets over the years, but often because i used them on air tools... No complaints, except that now Sears dying off makes replacement difficult now. A shame...

Getting cords back into tool cases is a developed skill. So with practice one should get better at it. I am personally not a fan of having to wrap cords around tools. So the way Adam had his router cord did trigger me. I am also not a fan of Milwaukee's litigation against other tool manufacturers either when it comes to cordless lithium ion batteries. It is straight up extortion. It is not like Milwaukee invented cordless tools or lithium ion batteries. All they did was have the audacity to patent the combination. Then use that to try to bilk money out of their competitors. It's low.

[@julianrosenfeld7177]

And their ratchets have 90 tooth mechanisms. Smooth as butter. Also most of their tools are usa made. Check em out.

Adam's socket sets and choice of socket sets shows you what adam uses his socket sets for. Not to be an ass but I and my friends and family have sheered many a Milwaukee socket in the past doing automotive work and while they're a good cheap solution they tend not to have the longevity needed of most jobs. Also the lift out trays thing WAS a thing on old craftsman socket sets though I believe is no longer a thing sadly.

It had both the 1/4 and 3/8 in the set and I was fortunate at the time to grab it during a sale which saved me almost $100 on the set. One of the best investments I have made though. Love these sockets.

“Mission creep”🤣🤣🤣

Milwaukee killing snap-on one tool at a time.

[@slimjim8736]

Snap on for the everyday pro Milwaukee for the pro on a budget

[@russwilkerson2741]

I hope Milwaukee paid you well. Your excitement is worth a million.

[@guyfawkesuThe1]

Lot of money for one socket set. Hope they are made in the USA! Hart tools rock at Walmart.

When he pulled the tray out I had a physical reaction, that is probably the best idea someone has had, who ever made that needs a promotion asap

[@curroergosum]

It looks like the trays are sized for Milwaukee's PackOut containers.... I can't find any quick confirmation, but the sizes look right by calibrated eyecrometer

[@2adamast]

Promoted from design to management?

[@lxtures]

Those sockets are like that’s so you can put a wrench on them

[@MrMagic1163]

Good design makes me happy as well. Removes friction from life. And focuses on what you want to do, rather then what you need to do.

[@sparqqling]

Remove every unnecessary step, that's good design.

[@ThemadViking793]

All my powertools are from Milwaukee. Best tools I ever had. 👍

[@nobodyknows5710]

I just got mine yesterday thanks for the recommendation. I love them

[@thedarklordsknigh]

the most frustrating thing is when working on a car and you need a 10mm and there's not one in site

[@SeanHodgins]

I have hoarded several 10mm sockets and wrenches of different shapes and sizes. Always kept a 10mm wrench in the center console of each one of my cars.

[@LatitudeSky]

I've come to think you need about five 10mm sockets to ensure one is always around. Less than five and you won't be able to find one. More is fine too. When I worked in the auto industry, I carried my own 10mm because I didn't need to waste time trying to find out who had the one we shared. Having my own at all times was right up there with a box cutter in terms of things I used every day.

[@knyghtryda]

@@cammy9r I have multiple sets of sockets accumulated over many years so I do have spare 10mm, but the 10mm is actually the only socket that I have physically broken. I'm not sure what nut I was reefing on but I heard a crack found part of my 10mm on the floor. Now I know why my impact 10mm is forged and so damn heavy vs the silver cheapies I have a bunch of.

[@knyghtryda]

@@cammy9r Ooof 36mm explosion is no joke. The only times I've had to deal with nuts that big so far is with axle nuts, and those are more or less impact gun only affairs, so not so much a risk of giant cheater bar of death scenarios 😛. Come to think of it, I really should have a face mask on hand along side my googles for jobs like that...

[@GoldenAppleGamers]

Best way to organize sockets is hands down the Hansen brand socket trays. They are life changing

[@DannyTipple]

That’s the route I went down but good luck filling them.

[@rolltideroll8250]

Checked out their Milwaukeef Tool prices. 1/2 drive set was 509.00... That's just astronomical. If I want to pay that much I'll by Proto. Was looking at 3/8" they are not quiet as high. 124 to 169.00

[@ShainAndrews]

Always somebody that will buy Black and Decker over quality.

[@JustinShaedo]

I feel quite understood on this, channel. I feel we all might

[@timothycoyne5874]

My tool collection is very modest compared to some people. But I do like the small ratchet and socket cases for the sets I use frequently. It’s nice to take the case out from the tool chest and just carry it over to whatever I’m working on in the garage or on the driveway. So the cases are useful for that purpose. I’d like to buy a couple of the same sets for one of my sons, but unfortunately they’ve changed the case design, and it is not an improvement. :-/

[@jeffa847]

"I’d like to buy a couple of the same sets " I run into this all the time. So crazy. They'd have an automatic sale!! WHY do they change these things? ! And yeah - almost never an improvement

[@iamtheangiechrist1090]

Those are a lot more nicer then my zip lock baggies full of random sizes of sockets and my one tool box full of different size ratchets 😁. Anyway, I like drill noises.

[@gonadiator]

Impact noises too 🤤

[@spacecatboy2962]

man theyre gonna have one hell of a yard sale when you croak

[@ecmelton8633]

One thing not mentioned about the socket sets is that, if you do remove the tray to store the sockets elsewhere, the case itself is now a great multi-purpose storage box. It's an ideal size for artist supplies like paints and sketch materials or random loose things like sandpaper that don't necessarily need a more elegant storage solution.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I haven’t decided yet if i’ll dump my blow molded cases....some who saw my tour think I should ditch them though and i’m leaning that way lately. Not sure how i’ll feel about it tomorrow, lol.

[@TNW1337]

Milwaukee makes some of the best and thought out tools on the market. Dewalt is #2 then Fest tool #3. I own all 2 out of 3 of these tools brands. I think Fest tool is overpriced.

[@davidvansickle5850]

I am sold on a Milwaukee router set.

[@briand2195]

I have a 450 piece craftsman set that I've had for over 5 years now, has gone through to engine top end rebuilds on top of my regular basically daily use. Somehow in that time frame I still have every socket, I'm convinced it was blessed or something at this point, only set I've had nearly this long without missing a piece.

[@kooldoozer]

Adam is a pleasure to watch. He could be talking tools or baking a cake. His enthusiasm is wonderful. It makes me feel good to see him excited about his passion. Keep it up.

[@renderproductions1032]

Milwaukee makes great cases in general.
