Thank you for your service. This Country does not do enough for our vets. Glad to hear your back on your feet. Thank you again. I don't know anything about Neiko besides what I've seen on youtube but I have been buying Tekton lately. I also have a buddy that buys a lot of Tekton. He has zero complaints. I think Tekton is a very good brand. Also their warranty program is really good. I only have their chrome sockets, extensions, and dead blows as of right now. I have zero complaints.

@ Awesome! Thank you for replying and thank you for seeing that too, our Country doesn’t do much for us after war. The last 9 years have been a nightmare. Ever since the eviction, we have not been able to get approved for an apartment on our own. We were homeless a few times from El Paso, TX to Arizona to Michigan and we finally found a place to co-sign on an apartment for us But. To start up and Every year after we have to fork up a $1,000 Risk Fee, they charge us $300 more than our actual rent and the last 4 years have done Nothing to help build our credit back up so still after paying on time/early every month for 4 years we still can’t get approved on our own for an apartment or house. Every two months I do a klarna for a tool or part I need for my car. My car has been down for 7 years now waiting for me to get the tools to start working on it. I still just need a Jack and Jack Stands before I can remove the wheels or do anything under there. And Oh Yeah I live in Michigan now and I found out about Tekton and they’re made locally, well partially made local, some are made in Taiwan I believe. I appreciate videos like these because I’m not very smart anymore and i can’t keep up with all these new tool Brands. I Haven’t bought tools in over 10 years, i don’t know if I should even buy another air tank or go cordless electric for power tools. I have brain damage that causes a learning disability and just get confused and overwhelmed pretty easily when I’m looking for tools to buy online. Even tho I’ve used tools quite a bit before, I feel brand new when looking for tools. I know how to fix cars but at the same time I feel like a noob every time mess with my car. But I feel like once I get the rest of the tools And parts I need, and I start taking things apart on my car, I feel like everything I know will start to come back to me ya know? So I still have hope that I can get this car finished and up and running before I pass away. This will be my gift to my son if I finish it. Thanks again for the input. And I’m Sorry, I talk a lot and Say so much more than necessary.

I don't know how much you use your 1/2" flex but I don't think you can go wrong with getting the DieHard. Now, I don't know much about what DieHard offers but maybe they have a ball dent or locking flex. I'm rather new to the DieHard brand. This is the only one I own.

@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench DieHard ratchets are limited to just the standard flex heads. No ball detent or locking flex heads. I don't use the 1/2" flex head often.

Yep, I can't believe they would do this. They've been a real staple in the impact socket world for quite awhile.

Heck of a deal. I was wondering about putting the head on a breaker bar. I was curious if it would hold up. Glad to hear it does. I'll have to get my hands on another ratchet. I assume they will be on sale for black friday.

@ they have 15% off this weekend for itc members

@@DUMPTHETRUCK I might have to run to town. I need a few other things too.

Glad you enjoyed it. How do you like that roto head? I was thinking about trying one.

I'm curious how the DieHard handle will hold up. I don't purposely abuse my tools but I also don't treat them like prized jewels either.

There you go. The shim definitely helps a lot. I really like my Icon after screwing with it

The CAT internals are not the same as the Snap-on 80’s. The CAT’s internals are the same as the Williams though.

Yeah I’m really impressed by them. Good to know the warranty process seems simple.

No unfortunately. Sorry. The funds just ain’t there

I couldn't agree more.

Haha. Been busy getting ready for winter. Haven't had much spare time. If a guy would keep the yard clean I wouldn't have to spend 3 weeks every fall moving crap so I don't hit it when I'm moving snow. Also I need to quit buying crap cause I'm running out of storage. Dang you got a steal on them DieHards. The Gearwrench is definitely smooth. I just can't deal with the ball detent. I'm pretty picky on tools anymore. I used to use whatever. But in the last 5 years I really turned into a high maintenance guy. And I ain't happy about it. 🤣

I completely agree. Best bang for your buck for sure.

I did think about it but I was already too deep in to spend anymore money. If I actual made money on the videos I would be all in but until then I have to keep it in budget.

@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench oh I know! Lowes has a 3 ratchet deal for $59 comes with all 3 flex head sizes at the moment.

Craftsman V-series are not serviceable. Just throw away ratchets.

@JohnCorbet-w4g aw! Good to know after I spent money's on the set! But I'm just a weekend warrior, f it

Yeah backdrag ain’t a thing till it’s a thing. I found out the hard way hanging upside down in a skid steer for a half hour trying to get one stupid bolt out. Ever since then I kind of prioritize it. Most new ratchets are good enough.

No promises but I do need to put an Amsoil order in. I’ll see what I can do.

Good to know about the Diehard handles. My store only had comfort grips. I’ll have to check the website out. Also glad to hear they hold up

@ for the money, they’re a steal. Blows all the store brand ratchets away.

@@robertomilanecky Completely agree. They are the best off the shelf ratchets I've found.

I’ve never tried a Matco. I see a lot of people praise them. I’m not a pro so it’s hard to get on a truck to check them out

@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench: I bought a shit ton of Matco 3/8" and 1/4" Locking flex-head ratchets back about 6 months ago when they had their 40% off sale. The only knock I give Matco ratchets is that some of the ratchets I received were lacking proper lube (I mean oil). Once I added alittle Super Lube Oil it was good to go. The 88 tooth is (I feel) a great sweet spot in ratchet tooth count. While the Matco gear isn't as smooth as the Snap-On Dual 80, it is pretty F-ing good. You mentioned you don't like the soft handle, If you buy some Matco ratchets get atleast one with the soft handle. The Matco soft handle is not as bulky (some people have commented) as the Snap-On soft handle. If you need a second opinion on Matco soft handle, ask CP his opinion.

@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench: Unfortunately, Matco doesn't have any non-locking flex head ratchets. You had mentioned that in your video that you are not a fan of locking flex head ratchets. This is something I needed to inform you on before you commit to Matco.

@@chrisparman2080the good thing about Marco locking flex heads is when they’re unlocked they feel just like a normal flex head ratchet. Smooth, no detent, and the switch is recessed and never gets hit by accident. I think the gear mechanism is a little lacking, but hands down the best locking mechanism out there.

Thanks for watching. I’ve noticed some of the CAT stuff is more expensive than the actual Snap-on and Williams stuff. Seems crazy to me.

@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench I don't know why all of the sudden the whole Cat tools is the rage it's been like that for many years. I never did anything with it because my closest Cat dealer is 45 minute drive and my Snap-on guy is at my place every 2 weeks lol

Yeah it’s just an internet thing. I got suckered in. I was in need for a for a ratchet and seen a video on it and I’m like sweet I can’t get it at half the price. I should’ve know better. I’m usually pretty good at doin my homework but not this time.

I’m very impressed with the DieHards. To me they are the best bang for your buck ratchet out there. I know people that love their locking gearwrench. I don’t think you would be in the wrong getting one. Myself I’ve never tried one

@@Professionalpatternrecognizer this is the kind of feedback I appreciate. I’ll have to check it out

I have nothing against people from other countries. Never said anything derogatory towards specific people. I did sarcastically make humor at certain ideologies. I and many others do care about the quality of products we purchase. With my experience Country origin definitely matters when it comes to quality. Not saying China doesn't make nice products. But they definitely make some very bad ones. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks man. I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t been getting anything out but vids are coming. Never used the Astro kit but the cups holding together is so nice.

I figured they would raise the price. Makes sense

I agree. Luckily I don't own a Dodge. I honestly don't think it will handle it. You more than likely will need heat and some hammering

Well if you really think about it what really is the difference between a duck and a ladder. You know

I cut the “rail” down with a bandsaw. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll try it out on my next one

Yeah it works really well. I pretty much use Lucas Gun oil now.

Same here

USA Craftsman still getting the job done

​@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrenchIndeed.

Yep it ain’t cheap. That’s for sure

Haha. If it’s half you have to buy it. 😂

Damn that freakin sucks. I can only imagine the bullshit having to deal with that.

I’m with you there

I’m about there too. After screwing around with this Icon I have it dialed in pretty damn good right now. I agree. Time will tell

@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench i picked up a couple of the quinn ratchets in 1/4 and 3/8 a couple weeks ago to give them a go, too. not bad but i think they need some wear in time. i've actually swapped out my truck brands for icon and box store options about 6 months ago just as an experiment to see how similar they all are in real world applications instead of just torquing a bolt to death in a vise. see how everything goes after a full year of abuse.

@@maxxdv8 That's the only real way to test them. Let me know how they hold up

I completely agree

Well I know how to solve that problem. Get to buying. Haha

Thanks man. I'm definitely not just an unboxing guy. I prefer to try the tool before saying its good unlike other RUclipsrs.

I agree. I might stash too much stuff though. Haha

Ernst does make great products. Also made in the USA. I’ve tried about all the Ernst products except their plier organizer. If these gearwrench fail me which they probably will, I’ll check out Ernst.

Excuse my ignorance but who is Tommy?

@@TwoTurtlesAndAWrench Sorry, Tommy prior to retiring was the owner of Tommy’s Hi Tech in Denton Texas. It was the last shop I wrote service for prior to retiring myself. He had several containers in a row behind the shop that he ran his Plyworks business out of. He was a generous great guy to work for.

@@deanhockenberry9268 I gotcha. Makes sense now. Thanks for the info

😂

Awesome! Thank you!!

I use a drill to break in the lube too. I’ve been thinking about mixing some different lubes but I haven’t tried any yet

I tell you man. Some good Grey moly grease and a tiny bit of pb/wd to thin it down works great

And it gets smoother with time, the moly kind of embeds in the grain structure of the gear/pawls over time

@@canceledczech457 good to know. I’ll have to try it out
