I think you should rank the "flex head" ratchets separately from the solid non-flex head ratchets. It skews a manufacturer when you put a solid head up against a flex head. I think they should be nearly as good, don't get me wrong, but obviously the non-flex heads are going to sheer the anvil, while the flex heads are probably going to break the flex joint. (although this isn't, or hasn't been, universally true).
Yes please do this!
I been saying this all along. Totally agree.
Tooth count and swivel head should be tested apples to apples.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Brooks Legend Instablaster :)
In my opinion I believe that flex heads shouldn't be compared with non flex heads and I believe that quick release ratchets shouldn't be compared to non quick release ratchets because the anvil isn't as strong, so when a flex head/quick release ratchet puts up less numbers than the milwaukee, I believe it comes down to a matter of design, not quality. Regardless, great video once again and I look forward to more.
I don’t disagree, but that Kobalt quick release flex sneaking in right behind the fixed head nonquick release was pretty interesting. It’s a big brand list that we’ll just keep growing.
Agreed
I'm at that same thought
I couldn’t agree more.
He's also tested used snap-on and compared it to new product.
What this shows is most if not all of these tools if used normal would not fail. Great vid
Pretty much, the rest is just bragging rights and entertainment.
Idk I'm on like my 7th or 8th Carlyle lmao but they just keep warrantying it so 🤷♂️
Depends a bit, some of these tools can stand up to a stress test pretty well however the quality of materials used as well as how the average stress in distributed means over time forces such as metal fatigue can cause failure when using the tool dispite it being torqued at the same amount you have done before
Bit of an apples to oranges comparison on some things, seems like the swivel heads will fail in their swivel mechanism but you are also testing tools from other brands that dont have that mechanism, it shows the difference in strength between the particular ratchets but doesn't surmise the strength of the brand at least for swivel ones that failed in their swivel first
Time to retest the snapon and tekton ratchets on your new tourqe meter!
I agree 100%. Have to test everything with the same torque meter to make it a fare competition.
I agree that both of those ratchets should be retested.
That's the only way It would be fair
I disagree. He already showed that the original tester was accurate to a calibrated torque tester, I assume this new one has been checked or comes with a NIST or Canadian equivalent certification for calibration (I did not watch his video on the socket itself). Any differences in strength on a test with the new tester vs. the old would very likely be due to individual ratchet manufacturing tolerances and not due to tester accuracy. IOW, if both the SO and Tekton ratchets were to be re-tested on the new tester and were +/- 5 ft-lbs of the original result, the new result would just re-enforce that both ratchets break at about 290 ft-lbs and that they are still "tied" as far as strength. In reality, to make it a "fair competition" as van1196 says, you really can't be comparing flex head ratchets vs. standard length/non flex-head ratchets, especially house brands which may have different manufacturers making non-flex and flex head ratchets. I'm not saying you can't mix the tests in a video, but the spreadsheet showing the results would have to be divided between non-flex head and flex head, standard length handle, extended length handle, etc. to really make the comparisons valid. Also, you would need to break a LOT of ratchets for each type and each manufacturer before you can draw a conclusion as to which is really the strongest ratchet. This is not a knock on Chris from Clientgraphics' videos or his testing, the videos *are* useful, I am only pointing out the limits of what conclusions can be drawn. If anything it would be nice for others to repeat his tests, the more who do, the more data can be gleaned.
@@paulprobusjr.7597 nice novel bro...
Wright tool is my favorite tool company and all of my weight stuff has taken everything I've thrown at it, now I don't use cheaters, but I was surprised to see that failure. I would love to see a fixed head tested on the load cell as I believe the mechanism would give that Milwaukee a run for it's money
Milwaukee has it going for them!!! Hand tools and electric tools are beyond impressive
Every electric ratchet is made in China
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 Taiwan. I know some people think it's still China but their manufacturing is way better in Taiwan.
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 and?
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 generally speaking Taiwan makes some of the best electronics. Not sure I would even want a USA made electronic…it would be made with Taiwan/Chinese parts anyway.
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 I don’t want to shock you but very few things are made in the U.S. now.
Hell yeah. as soon as I can get my hands on one of those Milwaukee rachets . I'm gonna put it strait to work.
It should be a work horse👍
Those Pittsburgh pro swivel head ratchets are one of my favorite harbor freight items. Can't beat the price on them with a coupon.
The graph/price and conclusion - High Quality! This seems to be a high quality channel like Project Farm. Keep up the good work and please keep up with those graphs/charts/conclusions at the end of the vid: they do help! Thank you.
Really relieved to see this extremely comprehensive video! Especially since I just dropped some big coin on the 106 piece 1/4”- 3/8” set, today!
Oh yeah! Time to break some tools. I don't know what Client Graphics has to do with this channel. Should be called ToolApocalypse, because only the truly faithful tools will survive what happens here.
Funny 🤣 Great name suggestion. I’ve thought about rebranding but have just kept it the same since it’s oddly unique and continues to grow as is.
your videos on these are really awesome, thanks for making them!
I just bought the long handle Carlyle ratchet a few days ago and noticed that it is pretty slim compared to other 3/8 ratchets but I've heard good things about them and I like that they have rebuild kits.
I hope you love your Carlyle ratchet as much as I love mine. That thinner profile is one of their advantages IMO, it can allow them fit into places others can't. If the Carlyles have normal use, they will last you forever. I would prefer to never use any of my ratchets with a cheater, especially a 3/8". That is what breaker bars are for!
Man you have one of the best channels hands down . Like I said in another one of your videos can’t wait to see a open end wrench test on top brands Snap-on Milwaukee Wright Carlyle channellock Ingersoll rand icon craftsman sk x-frame
Way to go Milwaukee! Very impressed. Pretty impressed with Kobalt as well. Already been a fan of kobalt tools.
Great test! In episode 3 I would love to see the NAPA Carlyle slim teardrop 60 tooth ratchet. This is the full chrome polished, non comfort grip handle.
I'd suggest perhaps improving your cheater bar setup. Make it so it's a fixed distance from center of anvil head on all ratchets so all the necks get the same workout.
Great videos. I watched this and the first one. My go-to ratchets are the Kobalt and the Pittsburgh Swivel. I've been impressed using them, but really impressed on how they tested. I don't ever put high torque on the Pittsburgh, but the swivel is handy.
Love my Milwaukee hand tools and power tools!! Good video!
Very nicely done Chris 👍👍 I was happy to see Kobalt perform so we'll. I bought a set from Jeff aka DaBear at Den of Tools last year. Again some expensive ratchets not testing out very well. For the money I would say Pittsburgh and Kobalt did themselves proud !!! Have you tested the regular Pittsburgh, the non pro?? Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Great video which showed that most brands are suitable for normal use. I was interested to see that the torque measurement showed negative numbers when you spun the handle backwards. Another nice test would be to see how smooth the ratcheting action is i.e. how low that reverse number is on the various wrenches. Equally as interesting would be a test showing just how much angular deflection is required to engage a new tooth. Let's see how much difference that tooth count really makes.
Very happy to see those results. Just picked up a Milwaukee 56pc deep/shallow set. Saw it online at HD for $99 and couldn't get out the door fast enough.
Just picked up my Milwaukee this morning:)
It’s is a pretty sweet ratchet❤️
Milwaukee stuff is just a class above the rest. Their sockets are lovely and the ratchets are very nice too.
Nicely done my Brother, you surprised me with the results, all I can say is Wow.
Thanks George for watching and commenting.
A lot of people mention the difference in design of the ratchets and I agree it is unfair to compare various designs in the same stress tests. Another issue was when he was testing the flex head ratchets he didn’t slide the cheater bar all the way up to the head of the ratchet and left the flex head joint uncovered which caused the flex head joint to fail a few times before the ratchet mechanism or the anvil themselves failed. However I will say I own a few of these ratchets and it’s nice to see the specialty ratchets tested as when I watch tool reviews most people are only comparing the basic ratchets.
Great video! Impressive results!👍🏻👍🏻
I would like to see a Matco
MCEngineeringInc Matco wasn’t in the budget for this one and I saved the Cornwell I have for Part 3. If I do a Matco truck video you will know I have a ratchet for sure😁
Love your channel
Thanks, appreciate it!
Never had a problem with my Pittsburgh!! And if anything does break they have a life time warranty
I'm always more interested in the back drag and swing arc for a 3/8"
But it is AMAZING to see you test these for their strength.
How makes the smoothest ratchet

And then the very least back drag Koken tools ruclips.net/video/DQZYbre3fws/видео.html
Awesome video! Would be great if you test the ezred extendable ratchets
I know this is old…but watching some newer videos on torque test channel…I’m super impressed with Kobalt. Started to switch over from red to blue to most of my stuff.
I would love to see this same video in 1/2 and 1/4 drive
I use my milwaukee on a daily grind for over a year now still a solid tool and very comfy for a hard handle
I work for a plumbing supply distributor and Milwaukee is our #1 selling tool brand by far!!
I have that Kobalt ratchet and while using it today I was curious if you’d ever do a video on it!
Hope you enjoyed the video and have the opportunity to continue using your Kobalt ratchet for many years!
It should do well for you if you keep it under 250 ft-lbs 😂
So I been thinking about this the ones with premature failure were mostly flex heads aka my beloved Mac axis, so I think the tekton and snapon flex heads should be tested to level the playing field. Just sayin.
I just broke my old made in USA Craftsman ratchet. Yes I had a cheater bar to remove ball joint.
Great video I will checkout a few of the top ones.
Very happy with my GearWrench xp120s. I own a slue of them, never had an issue with any. And those 120 tooth pawls really give you room to actually remove a fastener in tight spaces.
I love the video, but breaking those beautiful ratchets is really hurting my soul.
A little piece of me died inside as well. Probably why it took so long to do this video🤣
I totally agree with you !!! I cringe when I hear each one pop. Especially since I can't afford most of them. I wonder what the total cost is for the group of ratchets tested is?? More than my annual tool budge I'm sure🤩😁😄🤩but cool data gained. I love this channel !! Chris and his wife do great videos to help people find rest tool deals.
flex head vs fixed well that makes it apples to apples!!! lol fun vid glad you didn't hurt yourself!!
Luv these kind of vids and you did it well. Not a lot of bs just get it done. Looking to buy a capri angle air ratchet that has an outrageous claim of 600 lbs of nut busting power. Wish you could get hold of one and show me! Keep em coming
Right On, Thanks Chris! Carlyle is still my go to ratchet. Hands down, I have taken all other ratchets to the house box. Nothing but Carlyle in the shop boxes and service truck. Thanks Again for the test to failure.
Yea them carlyle ratchets look nice I want to pick one up but they are a little pricey but not bad as tool truck price lol all their tools look decent
I have 2 of the all metal handle 3/8 ones and love them. I also have a 1/4 comforter grip that I really like for small jobs. There good tools I have a soft spot for them!
Bobby Garrett the 1/4” Carlyle has been garbage as far as QC . Three technicians in our shop purchased the 1/4 inch ratchets and all three of them had the heads lock up. Would not turn in either direction. NAPA quickly replaced them with three more that locked up as well. Manager at the NAPA said the 1/4 version was having major issues. I got a credit on my second one and used it to purchase some triple square sockets.
@@prevost8686 That's good to know. I had not heard that. My Carlyle 1/4 Is the comfort grip short one. I don't use it to often but it hasn't failed me yet luckily. What model did you have fail non comfort or comfort grip? I ask because the 2 are different slightly.
Iowafoxoutdoors _ non-comfort grip.
I've got the Milwaukee in 3/8 and 1/4 and they've been great. The end of the handle is bulky and heavy in my opinion. I wonder how the non flex head versions of Mac and wright would have done. Hope you show one with those.
Never been a big fan of kobalt but they are certainly better than craftsman. Lowe's is pushing craftsman hard. Good job Milwaukee!!! Big disappointment in Mac. Pittsburgh even beat the pricey Mac.
Yeah in pure strength, but not slop.. Mac has very little slop
Craftsman is slipping big time. They don't make them like they use to.
@@timtags Truth! Until craftsman comes back to USA 🇺🇸 made i wont buy any
Not all craftsman is made 9ver seas...
@@gabehorn5079 Not all but most of it is
Great Video, I would very much like to see you test a Facom ratchet.
I just bought the MAC you tested today brand new for 90$ plus 10$ for shipping. I believe it's a 149$ ratchet on MAC tools site. I couldn't pass it up being brand new for that price. Great addition to my MAC collection!Haha
It's very exciting to watch. Please test the Craftsman V Series ratchets.
MY TRUE STORY-About Kobalt. ....13 Years ago I bought my first ever cordless impact wrench (Electricians didn't carry those back then -nowadays all of us have them, funny how times change) . . . I bought a set of Kobalt impact sockets to get me through until I could afford to buy a better industrial grade set from SK, Proto or Williams at a later time. . . . . Well, that was 13 years ago, and I never upgraded because I never needed to. I am still using those Kobalt impact sockets today 13 years later and they're still going.
Somethings last forever, some that you never expected. I’ve been surprised by Kobalt.
I have it from good authority that some early Kobalt was made by the Williams Brand owned by SnapOn much the same way that CAT for Caterpillar Tractors branded tools are made under the Williams name. Maybe you got a Williams set.
Sockets lasting an electrician 13 years...not very surprising sorry. Unless it's visibility thinner and dirt cheap, average sockets are pretty comparable to each other just like these wrenches
I have 2 napa carlyle sets, a 1/4 and a 3/8 short and deep sockets, metric and standard no skips. They are great sets. I dont remember what i was taking off but i put a pipe on the 3/8 ratchet, bent it, and finally broke the bolt loose. Next day took it in to napa and they said go grab another one. Carlyle is definitely the way to go.
I have that Pittsburgh pro 3/8” swivel. It’s a great tool for the money. It’s made in Taiwan where so many good tools can be made. With a coupon it’s less than $14!
It's actually a Tekton clone. Likely made in the same factory. www.tekton.com/swivel-head-ratchets
Also there's a weird $5 off any Pittsburgh pro ratchet online that usually works on these as well.
I've got the same one in 1/4" it's great.
I use the Milwaukee rachet almost every day. I have noticed it’s prone to hanging up, like the detent springs aren’t strong enough. The chrome is pretty tore up, and it switches directions by accident easily.
Still a good ratchet, but I still turn to my snap on for ease of use and overall build quality.
For those that read this, I still highly recommend the Milwaukee ratchet, mostly because of cost/efficiency, I’d easily buy 5 more in different sizes. But for my go-to every job rachet snap on is super hard to beat.
Matco is junk because they don’t make tools, they just rebrand them.
Master force hammers are the worst I’ve ever used. Their sockets are decent though for the price, never dared waste my time with their ratchets.
Anything Napa will be good. No complaints.
Not a snap on fan boy, but they do hold the crown for ratchets if you’re willing to pay nearly $200 for a single ratchet. I sold a lot of my snap on sockets for Milwaukee ones because I could get a whole toolbox full of stuff for the price of two sets of snap on sockets that usually get lost or stolen long before broke.
Haven’t broke a Milwaukee chromie on an impact yet either. Lol
That Napa didn't fail. It's still usable.
Yes, I agree. Choke up on that pipe so it goes before the bend and then put it to actual failure.
ROFL! "That's what we have health insurance for!" Thanks for a great test video!
To reduce and possibly prevent ratchet damage.
I purchased 3 very tough Icon breaker bars.
I also purchased the Icon wobble extension set.
My newer Kobalt 90 Tooth ratchets should last a long time.
impressed with the kobalt flex head, Pitsburg Roto head, and powerbuilt flex head more than anything. Verry entertaining nonetheless.
This film was fun to watch! I'm sure you'll get some gripers about your method, types of ratchets used, and etc. But that's because they weren't listening to what you were saying.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you watching and commenting. I’m trying to keep it simple for testing and these are all my tools and not some manufacturer hand out. The brands and types are what they are. I should setup a PO Box for anyone that complains and wants to donate a ratchet!
I have some of those powerbuilt flex heads the head on them look identical to the carlyle flex heads I have a 3/8 thts 17in long i love tht puppy just wish it had a comfort grip but I well lol was cheap
Yo CG! Great vid! Could you test some SATA brand tools?
Try SK's new LP90 ratchets. Would love to see how they compare. Wondering if your old SK was low from being older and used more. I've got a set of SK round head ratchets and a 1/4" drive lp90 and they've been the best ratchets I've owned!
I like it Chanel you should do also review videos of warranty on all
you should try out the crescent 3/8 long handle flex head ratchet, I have one and love it
That's a good looking Wright! Also that make looks good also!
That was the Wright ratchet that I purchased from you. 😁
@@ClientGraphics I've had so many ratchets cycle through my hands that it is still one I remember =), my ratchets I have now are pretty much all snap on besides my big locking 1/2" 90 tooth mac and a gearwrench I picked up recently I been wanting for awhile =)… its always the lesser expensive stuff that I put off on buying, lately I been buying a lot of smalls that it takes to get those pesky jobs done.
Thanks Chris
I’m gonna continue using the Pittsburg pro line up for ratchets, there’ extremely cheap plus durable and if you break / lose one it’s almost always between 8$-22$ to replace it.
The regular Mac axis flex is much stronger but if you’re doing non flex against flex then of course the non flex will be stronger. Great video
I am considering the 15" wright 1/2 currently. I love my tekton but I want a Longer handle fixed head ratchet that is Stout for suspension work. If I could find a old duralast low count Long handle 1/2" I'd be happy with that to but not many on ebay.
I bought a 24" or 25" PowerBuilt Flex... on Amazon for a good price.... I use that thing if I need to put a little extra cheese on it....if I'm not able to get an impact wrench in there..... it works good
I saw the longer ones on Amazon. Somehow eBay ended up being cheaper✌️
I have the Milwaukee set and it’s amazing
Thanks for the ratchet breaking point test. I'm wondering if you have done similar test with half inch breaker bars. I've used half inch breaker bars to remove wheel lug nuts and none of them have quit on me.
You should really do the Proto 3/8 J5249 is a low tooth count ratchet. But its one of my favorites I have the 1/2 as well they are my old work ones now my garage users. I have beat the tar out of mine and they don't skip a beat. You should really do a test on these! Best part there $35 ish and American made!
I'd love to use one of these devices one day. i'm curious at what my legs can do. I have often butted my self against the wall and pushed using my legs to get things loose.
Would like to see Matco in this please!! Milwaukee has done a great job with these new hand tools. Even their wrenches are superior to others. I had just watched a test video on wrenches. Milwaukee wrench slipped at 260 ft lbs.There stuff is quality and a great meet in the middle between too cheap and over priced tools.
It amazes me how well some of the inexpensive ratchets perform. By price alone, one should be winning be leaps and bounds, but doesn’t.
Chris snap on has a new 30+ inch 1/2" drive breaker bar that the square is made to shear off and then they hammer in a new one. Be neat to test that bad boy! That was hilarious how the Wright failed does the gear still work?
As I have said in other posts, give Wera a try. Would love to see how German Steel stacks up. I have several Wera ratchets and universal joints. Couldn't afford their sockets. Too rich for me. Besides I would only loose them. lol
LOL! "OH! We tore the guts out of that one!" Chris HAS to be THE most macabre creator of the RUclips tool community. Great video Chris. I'm really liking the graphs. Milwaukee stuns!
Really expensive test. Many thanks !!!
Expensive yes and very Fun also. Have another one coming up soon.
I am amazingly happy with where Kobalt stands very proud to be a support of Kobalt tools thanks for the vide
very surprised to see those big names near the bottom
I like how you put a bigger pin in it though! Come on boy!
That HF swivel head is the best bang for your buck ratchet you can buy
All are good
Power torque has been a great one for me broke my Mac, teq pro and icon but still have yet to break my power torque ratchet and it’s super stubby with the option to put on extensions to make it longer
Would like to see the Stalhwille ratchet along with a Williams ratchet.
OLD SCHOOL WILLIAMS SUPER RATCHET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice
I know that it would hurt your Wallet, and your Soul/Mind/Body, but I'd love to see a 50yo Ratchet Test...
Because, you can!
Interesting video. I bought NAPA ratchet wrench since it is reliable, excellent customer service, and I can replace it for $15 instead of paying $77 for the new ratchet. I would prefer more locations rather than ordering a new one online. I also don't like harbor freight stores a lot.
No Husky? I'm not loyal to them it's just they are very common. It would be nice to see how they rank especially for the price. Im a huge Milwaukee fan so that was great to see. Either way great work!
From what I've seen husky fixed head ratchets are about 12-15 ftp less then snapper and texton
15:48 he shows a list of historical testing he's done. 259 lbs for the 100 tooth he tested. 4th on the list for cheapest ft lbs.
@@nachocheez9 right on. I totally missed that. I thought he had done other ratchets in the past. He is very thorough!!
@@TSGear yeah, I have seen a few of his videos, but never saw anything about previous ratchet breakpoints shown except this one. Was nice to see the whole list.
Would like to see a Matco thrown in for the test.
You went the extra mile to break the Tekton, break the Carlyle! Also, I'd be interested to see how the QR Tekton would do to compare it against the non-QR Tekton you tested.
Yes, I agree. Put that Carlyle to the max. I am sure I am not the only one rooting for this fine ratchet.
You should re run the tekton and snapon on the same torque readout device, to make sure everything in your test doesn’t have limiting variables
Icon 3/8ths flex head ratchets are back!!!
Can you test some torx sockets like T45 for example and see what numbers you get, since torx are most prone to failure tools... thanks
I think the flex head isn't fair but good video
Can you make a video on t40 torx bits? To see which one is strongest i havent had any luck with any of them so far
I'd really like to see how the Williams (Snapon industrial brand) holds up vs the rest of these
You know the only thing i think that your missing is that most guys grease there ratchets not use the factory oils. Im wondering if this may have an affect on slippage or if that extra bit of slop it takes up might make it hold a few more ftlbs. I'm not sure but I do know that a set of older stanley pro ratchets I had bought pre 2010 units and they messed up horribly with oil but with regular universal bearing grease they worked and ran as smooth as my snap on set.
I absolutely love my Carlyle ratchets to death. I've been abusing them today with a cheater bar and they are holding strong as ever. #LifetimeWarranty I think it would've been cool to see you break the Carlyle ratchet like the Tekton in pt 1. I remember you bending the handle back and forth on the Tekton and then finally destroying the anvil; I bet that could've been achieved with the Carlyle.
If I would have cut the grip of I might have be able to slip on a smaller pipe.
Anything can break and I've had instances where a tool had a moment of durability that socked me, but when replaced it wasn't repeatable, so I think to get an accurate data chart you would have to break at least 3 ratchets (expensive I know). That aside, I'd like to see what ratchet lasts the longest. Not sure how that could be tested, but knowing it could have a resell value or even just the knowledge it could be put in a will to a child or family member could make a difference in what one I purchase.
I love my Milwaukee ratchets. That being said, koken hand tools are the best I’ve ever used by a mile.
