I have metric 6 point GW wrenches and really like them. But l'm a 6 point guy anyhow being in the high plains with salty winter roads lol
Truth be told, I own in metric from All tool box brand sockets from Cornwell, Mac, Snap On and Matco. The GearWrench sockets and wrenches are just as nice to work with. Being that I am in my mid 50s the numbering on the sockets blows the other ones away. I am happy with my GearWrench products!
I’m digging the intro
Thanks Brotherman! Cheers!
Yea the intro was badass!
Maxwell clark Thank You so very much. I appreciate it 🍻
Like the video. Im a contractor for navy ships so I use a wide variety of sizes (wrenches, sockets, hex, torx). From 1/2 inch to upwards of 2-1/2 or 3 inch. Husky had a great clearance sale on a 432pc master set for $99 (399-449 origin price) they are a non-stock item, I only two in a 100 mile radius of me. Got one for home and one for work
Justin Dow... Man you are killing it with these videos. Another awesome video brother. I need to figure out to make an intro for my channels videos.. Keep up the great work it's definitely paying off.
That pop of the can was perfect after the intro. Nice video!
Thanks for telling us how long the intro is. Not a fan of long intros but you do you. I appreciate the heads up!
Good video brother can’t never have too many sockets lol
Thanks for helping us out on what to get for sockets. That gear wrench layout is sweet. 👍
Good advise. I like the 6 point wrenches need to get the gearwrench 6pt. Metric set have an old craftsman usa mde inch set.
Fun video.
I know this is two years old but wanted to offer my 2 cents for the newbies.
When I started my tool collection as a kid I found that I needed both deep & shallow sockets but it was never the one I had in my pocket.
My first real job as an automotive mechanic had tool trucks there every week. I usually bought Matco because they were easier to afford. But Snappy & Mac got some sales also because they were there on the day I needed the tool.
Anyhow I found a Snappy set of semi-deep sockets. I had to try them & they became the most used sockets I owned. They worked 95% of the time. This was my best investment.
I will probably hurt some tool snobs' egos with this statement but just because you pay more does not make it a better tool. Just to qualify myself, my toolbox empty cost more than most of the cars I worked on but it was pretty & it said Snap-On. I still have it & it is a good box but has had to have repairs over the years(mostly drawer rollers). I have had so many different names that I forget most of them. I remember buying Benchtop from Kmart which was good but they did get replaced by better names. I preferred Craftsman wrenches but there were times they were too thick. I hated Snap-On wrenches because they were so thin they dug into my hands plus mechanics' hands do not grip well from the way you abuse them. I also bought Stanly which was another good tool. I used Harbor Freight until their prices became too high.
It doesn't have to be expensive to be good & just because it is expensive doesn't mean it is good. You will buy what is in your budget & what is available to you. A quarter of my tools are Snappy, another quarter are Mac, & so on because that is the truck that came the most often to the shop I was at.
When you have to modify one of your tools to do that one job I can tell you that it doesn't hurt as bad when it is a Stanly tool as it does when it is a Snap-On tool. I'm pretty sure I have cried a few times when having to grind or weld on an expensive tool.
I like the upload schedule. Keep pumping out the videos.
awesome as usual guy I ordered some oem socket trays regular stand up studs kind of deal just bought the big icon set of half inch hex I needed the 12mm for special lugs on after market wheels doing brakes an rotors on a nice Cadillac for friend of mine 😎
Back in the 90's, my first tool set was a Craftsman. It came in a plastic carry all, but the two socket trays, and the ratchet drawer were all removable, and ended up in my toolbox when I finally got one. I wish manufacturers would go back to that style...
Rocket Sockets have worked great for me. Great American made extractor sockets.
I like the intro plus a good set of extractor sockets are Gearwrench bolt biters
When I first started I bought my Gerber box. Which was a a craftsman master set when sears was closing. It’s been a few years and I got to say it holds up for the money. Ofc the only thing I ever lost on it was my 10 mm
Hey man SK tools steals and deals has some killer sales. 60$ for their LP90 FLEX HEAD 1/2 15 inch ratchet, 20-25 mm metric swivel impact 1/2 socket set 60$, etc!
Hell yeah they do
Can't wait for mine to arrive
Great Job Justin. Cool give away!
That GW set looks really nice and complete! Great review of the various types of sockets the avg. joe may encounter, even us Diy’rs. Splines has Triple Squares are very common on Euro-imports and I think every guy/gal should own a good set. My go-to sockets have been Grey Pneumatic, specifically the semi-deeps. The metal doesn’t deform when used in combination with an impact gun, which is ideal, and the price point is perfect for the shade-tree mechanic. I’d love to get you take on impact; maybe that could be a topic to discuss moving forward. Another big one would be your recommendations for a scan tool for at-home use. I have the Innova and I’d highly recommend, but would love a pro-tip recommendation.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience Brosuff 🍻
The intro gets the adrenaline pumping. Love your content man. Helped me out at times too.👍
Great video as always bro.
I just picked up a basic set of e torx at Home Depot for $9.97 worked great for what I needed them for, I gave my triple squares to my friend because don’t have my VW anymore. I’ll just add my opinion on 6 point wrenches and sockets, you need some in your arsenal that extra grip on a fastener is just a necessity.
Rocking the Gearwrench . Let's face it, you need 1 of everything
Whoa! Thanks for the shoutout and today’s video topic. Very cool. I’ll reach out to you on insta today for sure about the screwdrivers. Pretty awesome, brother!
You Rock Broski! Great Idea for a Topic. Hope I was able to cover the different types of sockets out there & what applications you might run into. Have a Great day. 🍻
you showed torx plus or polydrive sockets instead of "spline" bolts. Euro cars usually use triple squares. i havent seen any spline yet on euro, definitely triple square on seatbelts and seats in VW/Audi and Etorx on Benz. torx on all
Good topic
This channel is on the verge of blowing up
Long ball end hex sockets are a must for my job along with stubby torx, turbo sockets, E torx and some u joint stuff up to 1 1/8" daily use. Crows feet are very useful. Is the pliers video next
The GW set you bought for $250, were they 6 point sockets or 12 point. Because the link is to a 12pt set, and the 6pt set is like and extra $100.
They are 6-point, he linked to the wrong one which has the same part count (243). The product number for the 6-point one is 80966.
Dude !!! Great Video my Friend 👍👍😊😊 I was thinking about you and your Dad....COOLEST Father and Son on all of RUclips !!! Very nicely done 👍😊 to hook up Judo sailor. What is your opinion on the KOBALT line for a DIYer like me?? Any experience with the 24v tools. One thing I don't have is an impact wrench. Ñever had one. What kind of torque do I need for lug nuts and maybe other home repair or projects??? I always learn so much from you and your Dad. Love 💕😊 both channels. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
PS what is your Dad's name?? I keep forgetting lol@me
The home handyman lol
Not his channel, you goofball LMBO 🤩😁 his name ,!!! you're Justin I'm Rodney and Dad = ??
I have quite a bit of Kobalt 24V line of power tools. The XTR ½" impact wrench, XTR recip saw, oscillating multi tool, impact driver, and hammer drill. They never let me down and always got the job done. Battery line is reasonable. Yeah, the Milwaukee can drill a timber lock fastner in like 7 secs while the Kobalt does it 8 secs. I'll take a sec slower for fraction of the cost.
I accidentally cracked my beer open at the same time as you. Instant subscription
Thanks Brotha. Cheers :)
dude, love the intro. kick ass
Good to see you can make comments here
it's like my mother and tupperware.. i'm no pro but i do my own and have truck load of tools to show for it. spent a lot in the last couple of years tooling up for random stuff. like mowers, a gmc that i knew was gonna be a money pit, being ready for a breakdown and having some basic tooling in 3 vehicles.. not to mention getting into pneumatic tools and an inverter flux welder.. i've bought 2 sets from tsc, a gear wrench and large socket set from job smart. both left over clearanced out from christmas and way cheap. i have about everything i'll ever need in that 312pc job smart set but it's also nice to grab a small set and run out front or go in the house (damned washer). i've even got a cordless impact and impact driver that i use more quite a bit. as i said, been tooling up quite a bit over the last couple years.. a better paying job and getting into more troublesome fixes for the sake of tinkering on something on the weekend. i'll be honest though, if you are a diy guy just working on your car or random stuff like a damned washer or crusty old john deere, you don't need all that. i don't regret my purchases but i have way more than i need. it's nice not to barrow or run out an buy tools when you need them or have something when you need it. i got by for years with a decent part house set with deep and shallow sae and metric, 1/4 and 1/2" stanley sets. then just getting the stuff i need as i go like torx and allens. he's right, a decent mechanics set will do most fine to start out. i would invest in a set of wobble extensions and universals in addition to that set. vice grips, adjustable wrenches, channel locks, a small assortment of pliers, a cheap set of combination wrenches, and don't do super cheap screw drivers if that starter set doesn't have all that other stuff would be good to get.
Do you use a 1 inch impact to install a license plate
Auto and diesel a bit of both worlds 👍
Fantastic channel
Could you do an update for toolbox tour
Now need the torx plus bits and E torx plus sockets now.GM and Ford use E Torx plus a lot,one is the newer Ford Truck bed bolts.Grey Pnuematic makes the duo sockets so you don't have to buy chrome sockets.12 point,I buy them for certain applications only.
Question for you have you ever used harbor freight Pittsburgh wreaches
Do y'all think semi-deep sockets are necessary? I'm debating on whether or not to spend the extra money
I want to try to see if one of the Mechanic sets will sub a whole tool box, have you tried that? i think you did thry that
Would love your thoughts on the Pittsburg 301 set.
ehhh.... take or leave it depending on what your looking for. Not my most favorite Mechanic Set.
I think a socket organizer recommendation video would be cool. Off topic, recommending a good pair of jack stands would be good since the harbor freight ones were recalled. Thanks!
🍻
I have a pair of Pro-Lift brand 6 ton jacks with a locking pin that works real well for around 50 bucks on Amazon.
Short version is dont buy any jackstand with the handle design to release it only buy the stands that have pins you put in place threw them
Those spline sockets are torx+
Good to know. Thanks for the correction 🍻😎🤙
What are eight point sockets for? I have some 1/4" sockets that are like a double square, not triple, but I have never seen a fastener to use it on. Thanks, love the knowledge.
Typically pipe plugs now. The square head fasteners were like the first bolt head designs.
Vim or blue point do shorter allen sockets. The snap on ones arent really short compared to vim
for just a diy guy what do you recommend for impact or chrome socket stuff to own an lay in trays but not really expensive make my money roll a little faster to buy more stuff
Tekton is what I would go with
Was wondering if I got a good deal on a husky tool set. It's 432 piece set. I got it for 99. H432MTS. I bought it from homedepot. Thanks.
How long ago was that?
@@user-xe9ue2jr2w I bought it about 2 weeks ago
You've mentioned rounded bolt extraction sockets a few time I'm wondering if you've seen or heard of kincrome lok-on sockets they allow removal of up to 85% rounded nuts n bolts I know kincrome is an Australian owned company but are available in the USA I recommend you check them out mate..iv done a demo with them on my channel if ud like to check it out.. Cheers for the sweet content enjoy ur beers mate
Why didnt you grab those hex in Mac RBRT since they are so awesome?
I forgot. End of the day heading into some much needed vacation 🍻
Justin Dow 👍
My crowfeet are in my socket drawer. Everything in my socket drawer, requires a ratchet.
I kind of like the intro. Its like I'm watching a TV show intro
As I'm watching this video and thinking...wouldn't it just be prudent to just have impact rated sockets? You can use a hand ratchet with them w/o possibly harming them like using an impact wrench on cr-v sockets...right? I have a set of both and thinking that maybe I should of just got impacts and saved some dough.
Grey pneumatic duo sockets are rated for both. Recently sold my chrome and impact set to consolidate my tools. Plus they look pretty nice.
Please showcase some TEKTON SOCKETS CHROME/IMPACT, ANGLED/REVERSE RATCHETING WRENCHES IF YOU HAVE EM. I work on Ag equipment/machinery and that stuff lives in mud, sand, rocks, chemicals, but I’ll be damned if they don’t get the job done... Co-workers have liked them so much, that even after I go over how affordable they are...they still try to steal them from me lol. WERA is another good one.
We always said...get the 12 point if you are a mechanic and 6 point if you are a bodyman.
And if you are just going with 6 point, fuck the chrome and just buy impacts.
I have to respectfully disagree, 6 points is the way to go for general work, I hardly ever use 12 point. Chrome sockets also still have their place for when your "thin" impacts are still too thick to fit.
I've never understood why manufacturers choose odd ball fasteners. It's hard to believe one type is really better. I suspect there are many applications where they could have used a regular hex head.
🤘🏻🐿🤘🏻
or if you work on vw’s you need a ball triple square 🍻
Nice! Thanks for tossing that in there. Absolutely. Those definitely come in handy. 🍻🤙
I would never recommend a master set to anybody, they are never complete unless you go with tekton. I had my fair share of them and always lose a piece because the cases are already "organized" then have a bunch of socket sets with just a few pieces missing. Get a set, put it on a rail and bolt the rail down in your box. Youll never lose another socket unless you go out of your way to.
Poke Ay mon lol
I've been wondering about Jeff for the past two or three months now and is there something bothering that guy, because his mood and even his facial expressions a lot of times are so much more different, compared to how he always was before but now it just seems like he's really mad or whatever it may be and I've noticed it in the videos over the past three months or even a little longer than that but I just been curious about, it is all
