[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again, Vim Tools Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I have a suggestion for you. Your T-shirts need to have a pocket. I wear glasses and I keep them in my t-shirt pocket. Again thank you 😆

[@MattBracciodieta]

I constantly tell people that vim is going to be the next big name in tools. Since you guys took over this company has became my favorite and I wish I was able to buy more of your tools. If you have any tool trucks in the Myrtle beach sc please lmk so I can contact them thanks

[@billthepilot1]

Just ordered my first tool from y'all the other day . I love the ratchet and bit set. As I native Floridian I love the hats. Green and Black with Orange VIM lettering.

[@hdrider2071]

Black patch w green letters and black patch w yellow .just my opinion they look better.

[@decline1129]

💯

[@decline1129]

Agreed. Black background makes it a daily wear candidate and not just time to time

[@douglasmiles1215]

💯 agree with this.

[@douglasmiles1215]

Would it be more cost effective to stitch the green or orange logo directly on the cap? I personally like it more simple, looks more classy. I like both colors but the green says VIM all day long. Keep the handle design, only adjustment I would make is stretch it another inch or so longer and take a 3/16 11:26 " or so off the thickness. Love the color, shape and grip/material used. The ratchets are crazy good, everything is on point, backdrag is only beat by two ratchets in my box, a 3/8 Pittsburg pro flex (my go to because of the length is what i need most common) and a powerbuilt (a standard, standard, standard everything) . The only thing I held that beat the Powerbuilt is a Nepros (which I don't own). You go and bend that neck that ratchet, you know that head is killing it man. That neck is so much more beefy than any thing else out there, except American steel, but even those heads failed first. No. 1 baby, and I got all 6. Keep up the great work fells. And please bring back a the swivel head, at least in 1/4 & 3/8. Prolly not a lot of need in 1/2.

[@douglasmiles1215]

Simple logo is my choice, maybe a bit larger, stitched directly on the hat. Some sort of bucket hat or one with a brim around it for keeping sun off the ears & neck. Gotta be thinking bout that sun boys, do it while your young, saves you a lot issues when you get older. SC is real and a pain in the neck to deal with. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@ewalsh19]

Black orange 👌🏽

[@CamGobeil]

Orange w/ black text is 🔥

[@fuzzybmw]

I like the green but just the letters. Always use a locking flex head. Design is also key. I just bought a Snapon one and I HATE their locking design so it stays in the open position really. But a good design for the lock is a huge deal for it to be a solid seller and to be beneficial

[@RenegadesGarage]

VIM Tools. Cool video guys. I like the black patch with the orange text. I'm not a fan of the green. Also shouldn't the text be VIM instead of Vim?

[@tyler81EC]

finally you guys listen lol need the yellow trucker hat!!!!!!

[@nednedly3962]

Hats: orange/black & green/black. I love your green tools so green for me. I like locking flex head ratchets but absolutely hate the new Snap-on versions. They always unlock at the most inopportune moment. As one who has done destructive testing and failure diagnosis for military and aerospace, torque test channel and project farm are great sources for a point of data, but the results are only from a sample of one. No statistical quantifications or decisions can be made from their results. A sample of at least 10 is required for a bell curve approximation. Giving credit is necessary for transparency. Clay needs some PPE and a vent hood! As a now retired DIYer doing more projects, maintenance, design, and building, I want the best tools available. VIM provides great tools with excellent value. I also wouldn't mind seeing more of Christian. Have you considered a distribution warehouse in Texas? Containers into Long Beach, air/rail/truck to DFW for a more central, expedient, and low weather impact distribution? 3rd party logistics maybe?

[@ben10mama]

I prefer the locking flex head all day, mainly I feel it doesn't wear out nearly as quickly and in certain applications you need it to keep the head in a certain spot and angle which the free one can move or get floppy over time

[@aguycalledlucas]

I like the locking flex heads, but there are different types.

[@Ballack13-w9z]

Locking flex head, green hat and the middle hat but green lettering

[@hancockautomotive1522]

Your ratchets are definitely really nice. Just wish the handle was orange

[@ben10mama]

I would like to buy the green and black one, I'll say the orange on the right with the orange print but if it was green that would be even better

[@macbergson]

The Body Clip pliers were on Last Best Tool today (June 18)

[@tonymoralez1]

I prefer the locking head ratchet. Of course, the situation always dictate when I use it. But I do use it. I need to try your grips, very curious now.

[@thatrealba]

I have both locking and flexy ratchets. I haaaate my flexy ones and never reach for them first. And I would like chrome handled ratchets.

[@jeffmiller4168]

I will always pick a locking flex over free flex, unless it’s super annoying, like the snap on. Matco, Milwaukee, gearwrench are my go to ratchets by far

[@MadjikMan56]

Please run a promotion on the magrails just once, lol.

[@samblanche6015]

Good hats black green black on black

[@ben10mama]

Could you guys retest the wrench extender with the new milled head?

[@leonpowers8762]

Green & Black

[@MiguelMartinez-hm1hg]

If y'all make a locking flex ratchet the mechanism most have the choice to lock 🔒 oh keep it unlocked 🔓 so the user can have both locking flex and free flex ratchet 😁

[@samblanche6015]

I use the locking flex more...

[@masongillespie4360]

If you offered your ratchets in a steel handle I’d buy every size available.

[@blakechinn5792]

Wearing my green hat loving it. Super high quality! Breathes great in 100 degree heat. I have locking flex and free flex , i like both. The feedback and design change to make it better after breaking it for testing shows why I am big fan of vim. Havent seen any other brands decide to make it better after they made it and broke it.

[@warrenblanchard889]

I prefer locking flex head

[@pl5624]

Locking flex...when your rapid ratcheting nothing worse than the flex head moving a notch under tension.very rarely used just in close quarters.

[@ben10mama]

Could you guys give an update on your set of racheting wrench heads that go on an extension? Are they in production or are issues coming up with those?

[@boosted2.4_sky]

13:00.. this is soooo true.. I was thinking this today actually..A free floating (or indexing) head is useful. Locking is just a gimmick..you can have a bad position in locking positions..a floating head let's you put the handle (your hand) ANYWHERE Honestly...stop caring about what people think.. they don't matter..if you're doing something in good faith and you're confident that you're not being nefarious then it doesn't matter. Do you, boo..screw the haters☝️

[@mos8541]

i really like the green patch, OR the yellow patch... but uhmm Who is richardson?... neeever heard of him

[@pl5624]

Love your hdr ratchets...im stuck on the green now...

[@james10739]

The extension is exactly what I expected to brake but the no warranty is shit about my expectations my expectations it to take off said bolt or brake the stud so the amount of torque I can put on the other end doesn't really matter if it's like a 15mm that's a what m12 stud or smaller its not like you can put unlimited torque before the thing it's on brakes or brakes free

[@douglasmiles1215]

Send Clay over to Touque Test Channel, he already has the setup for those tourque ratings, those setups aren't cheep. Very good value for what you get. You dont sell value tools, you sell quality tools at a great value price. Folks that grip about your prices, are not getting and using them.

[@YocedEcoy]

GREEN PATCH

[@decline1129]

Black background hat please. Need it.

[@benito3392]

Indexing flexhead or free flex

[@brianboyle957]

I like Richardson hats. Orange/ black and Green/black. I would go with the green.

[@michaelhill1148]

1% of 7,000 is 70 but we don't love Louie for his math skills so it's all good - will Michael be adopting the dog? The thought bubble over the dog was hilarious.

[@Ilovetools12]

Can we test the 3/4 Dr extendable ratchet… for science of course 😅

[@warrenblanchard889]

Made it to the end

[@mariuzkreuz9373]

Sure your brand is amazing, tools performs alot better than the competence but im a shirt fan so those designs you got on the web site are fine!

[@Chilly-uq2zl]

Locking flex head.....u dont haveeeeee to use it. Keep it unlocked

[@76Starship]

Clay needs a ChrisFix helmet hahahahahha :)

[@warrenblanchard889]

Orange and black hat

[@aguycalledlucas]

They’re all black hats

[@SaltyMike396]

VIM is the same as Capri and Mac right?

[@jontnoneya3404]

It wasn't boring at all. Love the Tool Tuesdays!! HATE the missing sizes - that's like 1960s approach to tools. It's 2024, master sets that are no skips are all the rage. Get on dat Harbor Freight level. You're losing customers.

[@benito3392]
