Tool Tuesday Episode 33: VIM Tools Ratchets

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for the shout out fellas appreciate you responding very cool to see you reaching out to some people!! Great video fellas I have been putting a list together I certainly hope I'm pleased with my purchases!!

[@Hummin_Along]

I've worked at CAT, Bobcat and now Kubota. Every VIM tool I own has held up well and the MAC guy that comes by our shop now keeps it on the truck. I even have a 15 year old gasket punch set that is still just as sharp as when it was new. These ratchets hold up better than the Red ones Nick in Jersey is always selling. I've had those fail.

Im so happy I found this channel to explain and show the differences of each product.

[@jettschenker]

I bought some micro ratchet tools from you guys on Amazon and I use them every day as a jet aircraft mechanic. I love them.

[@jeromebland8287]

Keep up the good work on putting out affordable quality tools! I'll keep buying!

[@rickyringel1562]

More cool tool Tuesday🛠️

[@PSUCharger88]

So glad you guys reached out to Torque Test and Project Farm! Those are huge! I need to get my order in.

[@WA-zl6ju]

I've had the HBR5 for a long time and it's my favorite tool for band clamps. The 5/16 and 1/4 are perfect for the band clamps I use. I picked it up at an O'Reilly Auto Parts on one of those cash register point of sales displays, kind of an impulse buy to be quite honest. It has been a great little wrench and was actually my first VIM tool.

[@phillipmoody710]

10:25 just us the tee handle and add another bit extension for added length.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

TTC will buy the product and test it...👍I have the HBR3 and HBR12 very helpful 6:12 If you need to do this you should buy the HBR12🤔...

I honestly would love to review tools again. I did that on my channel but few people care. Granted, I had a LOT of growing pains with my channel and just now Im growing fairly quick. I used to be a tool technician, fixing tooks, maintaining them etc, in the USAF. I also turned wrenches on aircraft too, then on cars outside the military. I have pet peeves with tools, and particularly some of the tool trucks. I love Snap-on, old MAC, old Matco etc. My box is a collection of every brand, Proto, old Craftsman, Williams, Facom, german brands, Russian tools, Ukrainian tools, Brazilian, and the list goes on. I love that just because Im weird (also speaking of OCD, I have spreadsheets with all my tools inventories and all that, plus I do pozitive locations, so shadow foam, Widgets, and I think the best combo for adaptability! Im pretty proud of my toolbox...who isnt, right?) Anyway. I dont have the means to go all Torque Test Channel (great guy), or even Project Farm (I served with him, and he was always a good dude, honest and upstanding) but I will try to add some VIMs to my box soon. The last company was Vampire, and I will say, their pliers are amazing. Over-engineered doesnt cover it lol. So my question is...what would you recommend to somebody that has it all? Any one specialized tool you have thats maybe more unique to VIM? Maybe a dif wrench set, the half-moons? Or distributor wrench set? I buy my own tools too, but that is on my list and was going to get S-O but my guy retired, so yeah. Im rambling lol...long day, gotta go do my workout. Oh, just for fun, Vampire's parent company, Engineer followed me on Twitter for a while. I sitll have like 20 people there since I dont use it, but I thought it was funny, and their mascot is very...VERY Japanese. I would like to do that one day, design a logo or mascot for a tool company, more in tune with our market here.

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Now that Im watching...the HBR5 is nice

[@vimtoolsinc]

Great comment. We’ll respond to it on the next episode!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

@@vimtoolsinc Look forward to it! I love watching them!

[@TheEodjuggernaut]

The bits for my RFB400 just pass completely through now. Love the set but that’s extremely frustrating which keeps me from using it much anymore.

[@TxToolGuy]

i need that HBR12, should’ve gotten that one instead. i have an EZ-Red version and have broken it like 4 times.

[@rocky595772]

Would you guys be able to design the hdr410 but with a quick release? The ratchet itself is great. The only drawback, when using stubby sockets like ones in the mms450 kit, sometimes it's a fight to get sockets off.

[@jonstefanko7854]

cp is a big tool baby!!! wa wa wa

[@CPthetooladdict]

You need to talk to someone? Not me, obviously. But someone.

[@Pistonstrokes]

I identify as an Apache attack helicopter. Please say what's up mechanics and helicopters.

[@addicted2tools]

Mr tray in orange brothers please!!!

[@beyblayder]

What's up with the other attachments for the hdr34k? Coming soon?

[@vimtoolsinc]

Soooooooon

[@joeyoung3083]

CP the food addict at it again.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I love my steak rare the bloodier the better!!

[@agtech4580]

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee like if I’m not happy with the tool or it doesn’t do what I wanted it to do you offer refunds?

[@CPthetooladdict]

Good question for sure!!

[@righthook20]

Black Friday deals?

[@MechAnonymous]

10 PIECE SLIM ANGLED RATCHETING WRENCH SET SAR100 If you want your tools to look like a FERRARI you buy these $219.26

[@DPacVV]

So your customers are just mechanics?

[@vimtoolsinc]

We’re a professional automotive tool brand

[@luislopezjr1626]

The majority are yes, and even the ones who are not are generally pretty mechanically inclined

[@addicted2tools]

Mr tray in orange please id really appreciate it you guys are lacking in the orange section and its a good color mechanics use to be different or identify what tools belong to them everyone has their own color obv but where i work orange is my color and it helps me no whats mine and where i cant be the only one plz

[@pl5624]

Cp? As in cp the tool addict?

[@vimtoolsinc]

Yes, that’s who we were responding to. Sorry, we abbreviated!

[@TheAllens315]

​@VIM Tools yall keep doing you. Your products are great and I will continue to buy stuff from you. Cp is nothing but dink with too much time on his hands

[@markgriffin5537]

Cp seems to have a beef with everyone besides JDTCO.

[@TheAllens315]

@Mark Griffin completely agree. Can't forget lisle either. They send him free shit all the time and he's constantly pushing products for them. Talk about the pot callin the kettle black.

[@markgriffin5537]

@@TheAllens315 he’s about to have a heart attack with his beef with Mr Subaru and grip edge. I own both the gear wrench set he’s pushing from apex which JDTCO heavily is in bed with and grip edge. Gear wrench aim and never will be what grip edge is. Grip edge is who makes MAC rbrt line.
