Been using the Kobalt every day at the truck shop and the ability to see how much grease is left is an absolutely amazing feature

The flaw with load to failure testing is that it really undervalues a bunch of these features. To me, the difference between the Kobalt and Craftsman in PSI isn't going to make up for remaining grease feature and the extra 2 years of warranty. The size difference is also pretty notable.

Yeah it’s a good value for the $ IMO.

Amazon's return policy is legit so take advantage of it. Just pick up the phone and give them a call. They'll stand behind it so you're not out the 300 bones. Thanks for taking the time to do another unbiased no fluff tool test. Cheers!

Sadly it’s out of the return window. No problem! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome video, love all your testing and stats. Can't lie though waiting for your round 2 drill video! Also will you be doing 20/24/36v etc etc impact drivers?

@Tools-Tested 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! round 2 on drills should Sunday and yeah I will also be testing more impact drivers soon.

Just a quick electronics comment - I’d guess they have non-volatile storage. Many microcontrollers include some storage that can be quickly and easily rewritten and doesn’t need battery to preserve it. That’s traditionally been “EEPROM”, a style where every single bit can be flipped whenever you want. It has the downside that it wears out after about 10,000 bit flips. Some of them now have flash storage instead. Flash storage is weird. You erase entire blocks. That sets every bit to a 1. Then, you can set any bit to a 0. It stays at zero until you erase the whole block. If all you need is a couple bytes of storage, what some systems will do is keep adding to a block. Let’s say a block will store 2048 bytes, and you need 8. You can store 256 times what you need. Every time you need to change the values, instead of erasing the block you will write the bytes at the end. Eg: first time you write your bytes at location 0. Second time at location 1. Then location 2. When you want to read the values, you scan for the highest location that’s been written. That can make it last way longer. (If you’re astute, you might ask the question “how can you tell if you’ve written at a location if you wrote all 1111s? You can’t. Various techniques to fix that. You might add one extra bit that is always a 0 so you can tell that a location has been written) I’m not 100% why they are sometimes removing EEPROM and replacing it with flash. Flash does have longer lifetime. The other thing that I am unsure about is whether it’s easier to manufacture chips with one type of storage. Eg: the iPhone processor is one package but the DRAM and flash and CPU are different dies wired together. Because each of those has different properties and it’s easier to make them on separate production lines. Might be something similar going on. I know that’s way more depth than needed, but, I enjoy this stuff :) (It definitely is possible that they have a battery in there, or even a huge capacitor.)

Yeah thats a very good point, its possible without a battery to kept the data alive.

There’s a Ridgid grease gun that has been sitting on the clearance shelf of my local Home Depot for over a week now. I think they’ve got it priced at $120, might not be a bad deal.

@Tools-Tested 8 ай бұрын

Yeah probably not if you are running the Ridgid line.

@2down4up 8 ай бұрын

@@Tools-Tested Well in truth I’ve got pretty much the entire TTI line. Ridgid, Ryobi, Milwaukee.

I enjoyed your torque wrench vids. I bought the Icon 3/8 click,but the micrometer scale and and the linear scale don't jive plus 30 turns time three to "exercise"the wrench is no fun. One thing to test on the the grease gun is the amount dispensed and consistency per " shot". I caught my 3 yr old M18 , which has a shot counter for when equipment specifies "shots" per hour of run time, not dispensing grease twice ( worked fine under no load) when greasing the baler. Not fun, since it takes around 20-25 min to get to all the grease zerks, up top and in the PTO driveline. I got the 8500psi Lumax LX1153 trigger gun back out to redo each time. So the brings up a problem of how do you trust an electric grease gun. By hand you can feel the pressure when you squeeze and hear grease moving in/out of the joint, which leaves you with only seeing which can be hard. Also mention how useful the lights are (spot/flood).

Glad to hear! Yeah that’s a good point on the shot amount changing overtime. Like u said probably the best way is using a mechanical grease gun so you can tell it’s pumping grease.
