Should I buy a split beam or digital torque wrench? Which is more accurate and which has the least amount of maintenance, error and calibration issues? I want to be able to use this a few times a year and have it be dead accurate every single time. Im willing to pay more for better accuracy and reliability. What is the best torque wrench?

I'm a Snap-On salesman and Jesus, snap-on has got to have a challenger. Mac and matco just ain't got it. I'm hoping icon can grow enough to drive snap-on prices down. For instance, I'd sell alot more if a wrench didn't cost 75 frickin dollars

Why did you make this video titled "why not"? Im watching this thinking you're going to say something negative about it. Now I'm pissed because you just wasted my time with your long winded personal experience

You keep saying you got rid of the 2767, but you don't say what that one is?

Great video are you getting the 3/8 or 1/2” ?

I agree. These aren't really competitor tools. I just ordered a set of the Snap-On 196ANCF which is the version of these that actually have a cutter on them. I've had the Twin Grips and am interested in getting another pair, but their real competitor from Snap-On is the HJ47ACF FlankJaw Talon Grip pliers. I just ordered those also and will compare them with my Knipex Cobras for now, but probably the best alternative to the Twin Grips is the Engineer (Vamplier if you like wasting money. They are the exact same model except for the color) PZ-59. At that point, you are choosing between a cutter and a Cobra-style grip. I think Snap-on actually offers slightly more with that HJ47ACF model with the cutter, FlankJaw, and Talon Grip plier head, but I wouldn't argue it's best for the money. It really depends on the line of work you do, but now that I've started HVAC, I think the Snap-On 196ANCF and the Knipex Raptor are probably the best combo pliers you can get for that job, and hopefully by next Friday, I can verify that. With the Klein auto-stripper and Klein 11-in-1 HVAC screwdriver, I think 80% of the hand tool job will be covered. I don't even think I'll need a pliers wrench unless the Raptors prove they can't handle nitrogen valves or gas valves.

I'm upgrading but keeping my Gen 1 3/8. The main reason is that the 10-pound Auto Stop makes doing valve cover jobs quick. The Gen 2 stops at 15 pounds, which is too much for that application, but it's beast mode for everything else. I almost bought the DCF921 1/2 a few days before the Gen 2 was announced, and I'm glad I didn't. BTW, I also have the same 1/2 Midtorque, but honestly, I hardly use it and my High Torque since the stubby is my workhorse. For new techs, I'd say get a Gen 2 3/8 stubby, skip the midtorque, and get the new High Torque. You'll be covered for pretty much everything that rolls in.

New subscriber, just bought my first Koken ratchet & sockets.

I sold mine to a lube tech, in fact I used the money and pre order the new one and I can’t wait

I just bought my second one today. I had a coupon too. Great knife for the money. I still would like to see some knurling on the flipper tab. Cheers!

Can't do Harbor freight 90 warranties.

The regular kokens are identical to the tone, and the tone is cheaper. They look to be the same socket with a different name, honestly.

Do you know where I could find some carbon brushes and what size ?

I’ve had mine for over a month. It’s a great knife. Well worth the money. Knife snobs will find fault with everything. Shame on them. I highly recommend this knife. Cheers!

how tall are these compared to the escos shorties?

your comparing apples with oranges.

I have the Z-series in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 - Top quality sockets to work in tight spaces. I wish the markings on them were bigger/wider - Stay Safe

Raise the volume

These are $45 on Amazon right now👍

I would not try and remove a bolt with LN47's , that's better for electrical, copper, literally ANYTHING but, Knipex is an extractor tool and not great for much else. Totally different tools

What Mazda can’t that go under? It looks pretty low. Interesting the green is lighter than the all aluminum one

How do you turn up the volume or it doesn’t have a speaker

What light is that on the hutch door?

2 totally different tools

I have one… Totally enjoy it. People will always complain about something.

$479 on sale

What is the difference between mk900 and maxsys 906bt

I have to admit: There's currently a pile in the hutch... :( (but I have sorta-good excuses)

If anyone wants this set, there's currently an amazon seller with them listed for $46. Where everyone else is around $80. I ordered today

Howdy. Do you think its possible for two, people to leverage the pallet from the bed of a Honda ridgeline? (Same 56" series 3 box) Thanks!

These koken sockets look to be the real deal. You've made me want to try them out! Looking forward to your next video.

Yes the self tapers were a poor choice. I assembled this inside the drawer to minimize scratches. Still somehow got a scratch but not losing sleep. This thing feels kinda cheap. After i got installed no regrets on the purchase. These are starting to come back in stock in my area.. just a heads up to those waiting

Having the lock on trigger is a must for me on a rat tail grinder. It enables you to either be able to choke up on the grinder for occasional finer control, or one handed operation. Also a must for longer grinding/cutting jobs, otherwise you get additional hand fatigue having to constantly keep the trigger depressed.

What socket holders are those? Thanks

Middle bar, thank you

My upper handle cam is making contact with the moving jaw surface.

Suspension work ? . Wow ... must be good . I heard that was made in Taiwan . I need those . /.

How do you like it? im thinking about getting it because the warranty!

Just get one and see, if they have it in stock that is???

Didn’t think I’d need a tutorial on how to install this. But after scratching up the front and back of the drawer due to the 2 screw at the top, I finally got it in thanks to you.

Ucan get this wrench set on offer up for 100$ I'm recommend the Craftsman made in China double box end wrenches the resale is 300 and the made in USA are going for 500 online and I think they are going to get higher

For reference this is the same exact knife they sell on BLADEHQ for about 70-80 bucks.....same...exact knife.....same factory is listed and everything. Half price, same knife, no brainer

Just skip to 3:35 if you don’t want to listen to all the yapping. Came for a tool unboxing, not a story about your reasoning for your tool selection.

I wish knipex made a slip joint needle nose. The TwinGrips are good but the end is too big for some jobs. I have regular knipex need noses and they're great but they could be taken to the next level with a slip joint! The snapons are really the only snapon tool i've seriously considered purchasing ... but at 3x the price of even Knipex it's a hard sell for a home garage

The HF model is just fine. For those that appreciate a slightly better tool, then go Knipex. HF did a good enough job for me, I'm just a DIY type.

Any chance you compared this to the z series extension?

Now I only wish I could find one. I've been waiting since the first of the year for it to come back in stock. The ship from China must have broke down. Can I get a volunteer to go look for it 😡

Hey man, dig the channel. Keep at it. Lou

Tiered of seeing this knife. Bought one. Go to my store two three days a week, looking for another, caint her one.

This knife is legit. For $40 its a no brainer. Go get one.
