This video is confusing. In the beginning, he says that Milwaukee can't make a good wrench, and then proceeds to talk about how much he likes it over the snap-on.
Yeah I was very confused.
He’s saying , “ initially his first thoughts were who thinks of Milwaukee for their hand tools… “
I was to showing he had snap on shirt lol
Don't worry, it's cuz he hasn't had any Philly cheesesteaks. Give him a month or 2, he'll start to make sense soon. He's not him when he's hungry
I think it was a failed attempted at sarcasm , to use as bait.
"Milwaukee isn't known for making wrenches" Yeah well Mercedes isn't known for making good cars either but that didn't stop them.
Ford too
Mercedes’ is actually know for making the best longest running factory car 2.8 million miles
@@romneybiddulph5799 they are about middle of the road for reliability over the past two decades. They have some really good and some moderately bad designs.
Still way better than Ford these days. Or BMW. If you buy a euro buy Mercedes.
@@Maroco918 you obviously know nothing
Ooo thats not nice but as a mercedes owner you are telling the truth.They have more sensors then sense!
“I dont want to damage the ratchet end.” Proceeds to use the impact on one side of the bolt and ratchet end on the other.
SPOILER! HE USED A SNAPON WRENCH IN THE VIDEO. NOT THE MILWAUKEE. SHOCKING I KNOW
@@liamctracy902 you shouldnt use a ratchet and impact in the same sentence.
@@Sak-zo1ui Using them in the same sentence is fine. Using them together in practice is not. He used a Snap-on combination wrench in the video. I was simply correcting your perception of the situation.
@@liamctracy902 it was a combination wrench which has…… A RATCHET END. Tank U cum again!
@@Sak-zo1uiright that is what adjustable wrenches are for 😂
I am a tech in a repair shop and all my ratchets, sockets, combination wrenches, power tools, are Milwaukee. The mechanics hand tools are excellent. I'd put them up against snap on any day. Not cheap but not crazy expensive, Milwaukee for professional use all day long for me. I think more and more people are hearing of their mechanics tools and are jumping on the red wagon once they try them
Ya but if you put aside the price and just compare tool to tool snap on, Wright, Williams, Proto are just better
@@Lee-lb9qh in some instances snap on is better but alot of that seems to be coming down to luck bc their QC seems to be going to shit bc i watch some videos where snap on tools just destroy everything else but I'm seeing alot more recently where snap on tools are just having catastrophic failures and even kobalt tools are stronger in those instances theyll never be worth the price they're asking for them
@@Lee-lb9qh "if you put aside price" is a huge if. I'm not and have never said snap on are junk. But overpriced tools they most certainly are. And even if you did put prices aside they are not that much better than everything else on the market.
I use milwuakee wrenches, I much rather use wright wrenches than the over priced flank drives. The milwuakee wrenches have worked great for me in diesel tech jobs.
Facts!
50 plus years heavy duty truck here. The Milwaukee open end outstanding on brass fittings! This is beautiful on air brakes plumbing!
As an auto tech I’ve used the m18 mid torque for almost everything. There was a time when I had to choose between snap on, Matco, or Milwaukee for a cordless impact and I’m happy I went with the Milwaukee.
Love both my mid torques. High torque only comes out with rusty stuff. 3/8 stubby I barely use anymore, but it has it's purposes
To bad that the Dewalt Mid is shorter and more powerful.
@@djsi38t yeah just needed 2 more volts out of the less reliable battery design to do it.
it actually is a good tool. Their electric line is good. that is the only thing they shine with
I'm a Mopar tech and the battery will go down from sitting on my high torque because of my 3/8 stubby Milwaukee. I pretty much only use the High torque on diesel wheel lugs and the occasional time when I'm having to use 6 foot of extentions to get a bellhousing bolt loose
I like it when other people talk during VCG videos
Got that same set metric and SAE. Did extensive research before purchasing them and happy I did. Great wrenches 🤘
Same although SAE were on back order for like 2 months haha
Im finally getting my own tools that i really want and like. Started as a know nothing and i am 2 years into working on cranes. I started with gear wrench and it worked most of the time but when it didnt it didnt and pissed me off. I have ordered both the ratcheting sae and metric and i just finally ordered the flex head as well. Milwaukee feels better and hasnt let me down. It changes how you feel pulling out a tool you have full faith in.
I've been maintenance tech for 8 years and I got all kinds of wrenches from snap on, gearwrench, proto, blue point, Blackhawk, craftsman and Pittsburgh they all work for what I need them for, it just depends on how much your trying to spend
Damn bro you’re only a maintenance tech after 8 years??!? What happened to you
@@tylerheath9914 i don't wanna be in management.
I don't understand your question ❓
@christianmelena1749 you pulled a maverick, I think maverick would be proud honestly 8 years is a while😅
That's the same set up I have. It works.
I got Milwaukee sockets,and wrenches they are amazing honestly
@Sid The sloth i honestly, have little bit of everything Milwaukee.
M12 heated hoodies, softshell jacket, heated thermal shirt. Rechargeable headlamp that the heated shirt uses same battery.
M12 fuel 1/4,3/8, and 1/4 bit plus the 1/4 surge impacts. Also have the extended head ratchet. M12 3in.cutoff tool, M12 soldering iron, M12 right angle grinder and M12 fuel hammer drill
M18 brushless impact and hammer drill
M18 fuel 1/4shank regular impact and surge,plus hammer drill.
M18 fuel high torque 3/8 and high torque 1/2 with one key,
M18 fuel circular saw
M18 fuel grinder
M18 fuel bandsaw
Then not counting all the hand tools I got Milwaukee. Love their channel locks
Milwaukee heating/cooling neck thingy
Plus just got.4 pair of the Milwaukee pants
@Sid The sloth there are still plenty of brands that make tools here in the United States...
@@Lee-lb9qh yes but most of them over priced for what they are. I love my Klein but they have jacked the prices up to the moon
@@beefysghost867 😂 yep. That's America, only profits matter, where ya been?
@@beefysghost867 I think Klein is a good deal for what you get
There is nothing better than a snap-on wrench. Most of the wrenches in my box are snap-on. I do keep some craftsman to cut, weld, or bend. Anything I have over 1 1/4 to 2" is cheap sunex mainly because I don't use them enough. I have Icon wrenches at home, I like those. I would consider Millwaukee for home use. My perspective as a Diesel Technician Snap-on makes some of the best hand tools on the planet.
i’ve had those milwaukee wrenches both metric and SAE. absolutely love them
I worked on Benz’s in a badges shop, all the techs looked and talked like this guy 😅
I'm sorry I really feel that your paying for the name. I'm not saying Snap On makes bad tools because they don't they are great, however there are alot of other really great tools and brands at a cheaper price point.
Very nicely done !!!!
Thanks for the video Vince
3rd. I completely agree. Milwaukee isn't known for their hand tools, but I've got that same wrench set and abuse 'em. Definitely better than Snap on
Yea, I’ve boughten a hand full of Milwaukee tools and aside from their hook knife - most weren’t practical or useful. Terrible really. But their power tools are amazing. Top tier.
I agree there my go to Wrenches
There not better than snap on your so fk stupid 🙄
@@christopherpaulo6818 Were top tier till Dewalt beat them in every impact wrench category.
@@djsi38t not sure about the wrench impact. Just general use impacts and drills for construction.
Former dodge, jeep ram tech turned municipality fleet mechanic. All I used when I worked was snap on, matco and mac tools. I’ve been very impressed with Milwaukee’s mechanics tools. Their hand tool are excellent and the rechargeable tools have been so good I’ve stopped using my air tools. I only use my compressor to fill tires, air chisel and to paint
These are the comments I want to see.
Thank you.
Mechanics that I know and are professional will work on any tool they get there hands on… now I don’t own snapon or Matco tool because of there price.. 2022 we can buy any ratchet and wrenches on line this days … I will get my hands on dose Milwaukee wrenches 🔧.. 💯
Perfect. Thankyou. I need to buy a new set of spanners soon (a lot of missing ones) and, like Nick, I was suspicious of Milwaukee hand tool quality. I normally buy Teng (not sure you get them in the US) but it looks like I may be getting Milwaukee this time.
I bought the Milwaukee combination wrench set in Metric and SAE and I fell in love with them! So much so that I went ahead and also bought the ratcheting wrenches sets as well. I do like them a lot, the quality is there’s, but as far as convenience, the ratcheting wrench sets are straight at the box end. I’ve come to find that I’m not a fan of straight box end wrenches and I prefer the 15° angle that their regular combination wrench offers at the box end. If I could make an improvement or suggestions to Milwaukee it would be to come out with a 6 point, reversible, ratcheting, box end wrench with a 15° offset. I think this would be a unique offering and upgrade to their line. Also, change the color of the metric from black to blue. Black is sometimes hard to see since the chrome is sooo reflective.
Hey @Omardottcom, this may be what you are looking for. I had been looking around for a set of wrenches for myself, and after doing a ton of research, this is what I narrowed my search down to, which is MAC Tools SRWMO126PT. When I finally received them, they were everything that was advertised, and the holder they come in is a really smart design that opens up to allow access to all wrenches, but closes up into a compact and secure case This wrench set features: 6 point boxed end, reversible ratcheting, 15° offset, anti-slip open end, and bolt-stop on the boxed end that stops bolts from falling through. All the same plus a few more features as what I came across in reading your comment. I'm not affiliated with any of these tool companies, and don't earn a single dime from any of them, I'm just an average guy who loves tools and enjoy working on my own vehicle and so on.
I’m just not sure how the open end of a wrench can have that much “technology”
As a diesel tech i also use the red team stuby 3/8 impact daily for years and love it. They really impress me with all power tools but hand tools I rather snap-on personnaly.
Milwaukee hand tools are no better than the dozens of Taiwan/China wrenches you can buy on Amazon. Just more expensive.
Mac wrenches for me.
I have contemplated buying these wrenches but at the price point they are at, i just cant seem to pull the trigger. That 3/8 stubby is great though. The only thing i can see it being better is having a rocker trigger like the snap on 3/8 impact. Its a nice feature but not worth buying another Snap-on to get. Ive used many brand of ratcheting wrenches. Maybe i can catch these at a good price and try them out.
Now this is a review i needed. This justifies getting the milwaukee over the snap on for my uses. Now if a mechanic could give a honest review of the milwaukee sockets with the square flats thats what i need. Just spent a pretty penny on a snap on flank drive extra 1/4 socket set that coudlve bought me 2 milwaukee 1/4 & 3/8th socket/ ratchet set in the packout kit. i went with the snap on cause i was worried that i would get annoyed of the feel of trying to finger spin a square socket without a spinner attached, or the fact that a square peg in a round hole doesnt work out too well. Or the fact that i couldnt find any real world testing of how milwaukee sockets do in everyday situations when you dont always deal with brand new hardware. I really still want to get a milwaukee packout socket set for my mobile tool cart set up, would be a heck of alot easier to do that than try to piece together snap on sockets on rails in drawers in a packout ....until then thanks vince for the tool updates.
Buy it and find out so you don't have to spend what little you make on snap on
@@bassheadlife492not one to experiement. I do my own research and then go from there. Based on what i found it was better to go with snap on flank drive sockets for their extraction benefits on rounded off fasteners and ultra slim profile.... I am currently still pricing out and finding deals on snap on 3/8ths sockets and rather slowly piece together a full set of quality snap on than buy a one does all kit and be dissapointed at a features that sounds good in the ad but in real life sucks.
Gearwrench, Sunex, Capri, even Icon at HF are nearly identical in quality to Milwaukee handtools. It's literally all Taiwanese stuff. Except you're paying more for the Milwaukee logo.
I haven’t really had any issues in a semi professional area with my milwaukee ratchets and so far I love their sockets
A couple of years ago I bought a set, within the first year everyone of them had an issue preventing proper use. Gear stripped, open end bent, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed.
I don’t do auto mechanic work but do commercial hvac so I do use ratchets and sockets quite a bit. I would trust Milwaukee for power tools over Snap-On but, yeah, nothing beats Snap-On for sockets & wrenches.
I work in the material handling sector as a tech on forklifts and some construction equipment. I bought a set of sae and metric Milwaukee wrenches like 4 years ago now and i have always been happy with them, the organizer is nice and is usually the perfect shape to fit in most tool box drawers. I've used these on some gnarly bolts and put well past the recommended torque.... So far only minor cosmetic damage has shown. Maybe some of the grip cuts have been damaged but I've abused these things and they still keep going. Happy with my purchase
Almost all my power tools are milwaukee. High torquexmid torque right angle impact high speed ratchet. Little impact driver I use as my stubby impact. Tire inflator. Jacket I bought for the wife. Love em.
The guy in the snap-on shirt likes snap-on wrenches.. who knew?
Man those are some sweet wrenches! My snap on and nice tools got stolen a few years ago Manis it hard to put money back onto all those tools AGAIN
Guys, if you buy something from the VCG store and you need customer support this is the company with the BEST service. The Main Man himself replied in less than an hour @ 7pm. Very Cool Gang👌🏼
This a logistics RANT but an honest one concerning logistics differences between Lowes and Home Depot: I needed to order some parts for a couple bathroom fans. Lowes hands down, had the best price by far. The parts took over 2 weeks to get but with savings it got, that didn’t bother me at all. I got notified over 13 hours later after my parts had arrived by Lowes. Lowes logistics notification system is slower than a snail. Home Depot has their stuff together in that regards logistics system and it terms of notification speed-Light speed.
We appreciate the insight Ron, thanks!
Like you didn-t already know that Home Depot logistics structure is much better than Lowes. Price points can very at all levels. Also to note. OPT and Acme are extremely top notch in logistics and customer service
I think Milwaukee should include the impact boots
Old school mechanic here, I ve tried just about all types of wrenches & ratcheting wrenches, 6pt and 12pt. As for Milwaukee from my experience there pretty decent, as for the Snap-on, well there over priced & overrated. If you want a similarity to the Snap-on wrenches, may I suggest the Icon Anti-slip combination wrench set. It does the same thing as the Snap-on but hell of a lot cheaper example Snap-on wrench set $550.00 for a wrench set, Icon $124.99 for a wrench set. The Mercedes mechanic mentioned take some plier to a bolt. Lol! I should suggest the Gearwrench open end ratcheting wrench set.
I'm in my late 20s and just started working in a shop 2 months ago. Before that I was working on my own cars at home for a while. I used to think snap on was overpriced and wouldn't get any of their tools.. while I do still think their tools are super expensive, I have to say, I used a snap on ratchet (extended 3/8) my boss has and what I love about it is the anvil requires almost no force to spin it so it's great for those tight spots to get a bolt started or remove it ALL the way because many ratchets are just a tad too stiff that it doesn't "ratchet" once something is too loose. So unless Mac, Cornwell, or someone else doesn't have a ratchet that fine, I may just be picking up a snap on ratchet... Just the one lol
@@meme5887
If your looking for a good decent 3/8 long drive ratchet, may I suggest Gearwrench 3/8 long drive ratchet, whether it be in comfort grip or non-comfort grip, I also suggest getting one that is a locking flex head & one with out locking flex head, just for a straight drive ratchet. The Snap-on straight 3/8 extended long drive ratchets will cost ya about $178.99 for one and the Gearwrench will cost $59.99 for the non-comfort grip, and the comfort grip $68.97. Equal your total for both Gearwrench 3/8 drive ratchet $128.96 +tax. Hell of alot cheaper than one $178.99 for one Snap-on 3/8 drive ratchet. But hay that's just my opinion and experience in mechanic tools.
@@mikey358976 I'm looking specifically for a really sensitive ratcheting mechanism. Like the one my boss has is so fine when you spin it, it almost feels broken which is super helpful for getting those last 3 turns on a bolt or nut where your everyday ratchet won't ratchet because there's not enough force to make it click. Like a hair trigger except a hair ratchet. I plan on going all Milwaukee for the ratchets, I just picked up the 3 extended ones which are really nice. But they're not super fine for when I need to start or fully remove a bolt/nut.
@@meme5887
Understandable on the 3/8 drive ratchet, you want it loose like broken feel like, as for me I went with the 120xp 3/8 by Gearwrench, I used a Snap-on 3/8 drive ratchet before standard size and long handel wasn't really impressed. But every mechanic different on the way they do things on certain tools they need. But in reality old saying" a true mechanic doesn't need fancy tools to get the job done. A true mechanic can get the job done with just about any mechanic tool. "
@@mikey358976 My Milwaukee ratchets just came in Friday. Didn't get to use it for work yet, but I do love the feel of them. I've been using newer craftsman ratchets as I got a 285pc set deal for about $190 on clearance holidays 2020. I plan on using my Milwaukee's now though and getting their set of sockets. I'll use my craftsman as my house set as now all my tools are at work. I'd just like a super sensitive one for those special times. Especially with how little space new cars have nowadays. And a real mechanic can do anything with a hammer, flathead screwdriver, and visegrips 😂
You told me what I wanted to hear within the 1st 20 seconds of the video. Thanks
small correction brother, the stubby EASILY removes lognuts. I use it to remove my truck and suv lug nuts all the time, with extreme ease. I do use the 6.0 battery rather then the 2.0 for more power.
the dewalt impact that is the same size as the stubby...is TWICE the power.DCF 921
thats an m12 as far as im aware the largest battery available in the 3.0 i think youre talking about an m18 model
@@djsi38t 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no one cares dude. Did someone get you your 1st impact for your birthday and you really wanna talk about it ? 🤣🤣🤣
@@thatoneguy5495 Pretty certain there is a 6.0 M12 battery.
@@porkchop7652 😂 I was about to comment the same thing, people I know that have dewalt act the same way. Like good job they made one more powerful tool. Only took them 10 years.
Have the Milwaukee ratcheting wrench set metric. Mate are work has Milwaukee combination wrench set both metric and sae. Love them. Fantastic spanners
Well here i am typing this comment while wearing a snap on shirt lol. I have the flexible ratchet wrench sets from Milwaukee. They have served me well. I have zero complaints and am very satisfied that I purchased them. Ive only had my sets for maybe 5 or 6 months. They have done everything i needed them to do. Take care of your tools and use them properly. They will last!
As a Heavy-duty Mechanic, I have quite interesting sets of tools... I don't have anything fancy but most power tools, I go with Milwaukee and any air tools or special tools I go with MAC tools. For wrenches, sockets and ratchets; I use Mastercraft & Maximum (They are cheap but comes with life time warranty). I had these Mastercraft Wrench sets for 6 years; still works.
Milwaukee has one of the best Combination wrenches on the market hands down, plus these flex heads are great , one of the best designs I've ever used besides Snap On for sure
I bought my current set of Milwaukee wrenches because of this video, haven’t regretted it once. Especially when snappy truck rolls in and the other guys go out to make their payments 😂
Craftsman fan from back in the day when they made quality equipment. Retired now.
m12 stubby is hands down the best and most versatile tool they sell. when i do car work its my most used tool. 2nd most used is my m12 right angle and 3rd thier m12 ratchets.
💯
I use my Milwaukee wrenches every day I literally have thousands of dollars in hand tools (who doesn't right).. but the Milwaukee wrenches in an industrial environment is your best bet.. obviously if you're doing work where you're not wanting to potentially mar a fastener you might want to use some with smooth jaws on the open end..but my Milwaukee wrenches have been great
I have only watched about 5 videos from this channel but I keep seeing the biggest tool in each one
The stubby isn't meant to take wheels off, but it will! 250 foot lbs of nut busting power. Used it to take off my wheel once. Lugs were torqued to 95 foot lbs. Love it!
I literally gave my half inch cordless impact snap-on gun to pops yrs ago when i got the stubby 3/8" fuel m12 gun. I can bust off axle nuts off the majority of vehicles? Send it. Have had it for almost 4yrs including the m12 1/4" and 3/8" reg m12 wrenches, after 23yrs as a pro, i cant believe i paid snap-on so much for cordless tools. I love it so much my almost 22yr old apprentice electrian step-son....hes all team red baby. Alot of his coworkers have seen how slim and performing team red tools are compared to overpriced dewalts and now even his boss is team red! Go Milwaukee for sure
As an Autobody tech , Milwaukee ratchets are trash the body clam shell comes apart and pulls the threads out of the too short screws/ratchet . And secondly the heads wear out or strip constantly I have two 1/4 inch and one 3/8’s and all three have the same problems . I stuck them in the drawer and bought another snap on . I like the 3/8 socket drive compact impact but the ratchets are a waste of money
I am a backyard RUclips mechanic and I never noticed a difference
Yes, Milwaukee hand tools design is pretty poor for the price. I have quite a few from Home Depot sales. Project Farm does some detailed tool tests and also had some comparisons.
HD has a tool deal for deal of the day, so don't miss out gang 🤙🏼
Maybe I'll try them out once I lose/break something else. I have some snapon but most of my stuff is Japanese(koken,ktc,tone) or German(stahlwille, gedore) and some Wright and Williams. I think the made in Japan or made in Germany are usually the same quality as snapon but at the Milwaukee price. Does Milwaukee do any sort of warranty?
Vise grips thinner than a wrench ?
I know right…..
I sometime grind my wrenches down for custom as frigg👌
I have both and have been a little disappointed by my Milwaukee, I usually prefer my snapon. Both have the teeth for grip, but my snapon always performs better. I am an industrial equipment tech, the main thing I notice is the Milwaukee is a softer steel, after a few months of use the Milwaukee are already starting to become wider in the open end (I don't know the term).
So when they get out of tolerance too much just get a new one. Its a lifetime warranty just like hype on.
I'm not a die-hard snap on guy, almost all my tools are Milwaukee or husky. However there are a few areas where my snap-on tools just out perform anything else, that's just been my experience
I’ve used Milwaukee wrenches and ratchets they are awesome.
Just FYI craftsman makes very slim open head wrenches - they are PERFECT for brake jobs/ caliper work!
Not ratcheting ones tho
@@jocool562 Milwaukee hand tools suck so stop being a fan boy
@@Venom-ri4yq nah fasho. These are the only hand tool from milfuckee I own. I would not buy their screwdrivers, pliers or ratchets
Thx for the info
Sure thing!
I have many sets of M wrenches, choose to go eat where I want at lunch while the Snap Guys are waiting in line to make their payment to the truck LOL.
The confusion could have been edited out, but it wasn't... So yeah I'm assuming... Assuming Milwaukee wrenches are good but Snap-on on is better... They better be given their price, and years in the business...
Milwaukee on the other hand is branching out with genuine effort and attempting to make quality hand tools, worth a try I think.
Not the only set of wrenches you'll buy, not the last either.
What was the warranty for the Milwaukee?
Snap on basically is forever, I've warranted tools 30 years old, so buy once cry once.
PS: they lasted 30 years, so $25 wrench over 30 years, cost of ownership $0.83 per year... Now that same wrench is $53, for free, plus they drove to my location and handed it to me personally... That's worth something, no?
I just don’t put my tools on the paint and the clip comes in really handy when you need to take 4 bolts out on a drive shaft say and need both hands to grab the drive shaft so rather than running back to the bench you can just clip in on your belt and keep working. At lest for me every second counts on flat rate
Milwaukee has never failed on me, never had snap on and never will, over priced for what it is, my fiends snap on wrench broke when loosing a bolt for alignment and Milwaukee hasn’t and did the job, but his snap on was brand new
Those look identical to my MAC knuckle saver wrenches
Well, back in the day, Snap-on was about the only wrench you could buy they would last and stand up to the abuse in the trade. My son has Milwaukee wrenches and ratchets, and they work great and I have used them every bit as good as the Snap-on tool. If I was getting in the trade now, I probably look around and buy somebody else’s tools. Just keep in mind, the tools don’t make the mechanic the skill makes the mechanic or technician. I just noticed in your video you are using the open end wrench backwards to loosen a bolt. Yep back in the day we just take a cheap wrench and grind off the sides if we had to to make it fit.
The Milwakkee 3/8 M-18 compact blows any stubby away. Add a bigger battery to your stubby and its no longer a stubby anymore.
Wheres your set of snap ons to compare?
i removed the clip on my stubby but i like it on my mid torque its not in the way of anything i never scratch myself with it and when i unbolt something heavy and am too far to put in on a bench or what ever i use the clip to clip it on my back pocket. i use both those tools every day
I have the non ratcheting version, they're the best wrenches I've owned
Now if they would start designing packout for mechanics in mind. The full 15 wrench set barely even fits in a single packout drawer. I'm not putting a single wrench set in their own individual drawers. I'm not gonna use foam and double them up. I want to open the drawer, see all my wrenches and grab the one I need.
I need a single 2 1/2" drive 8" impact socket. So tell me where can I buy one if I shouldn't buy the sucky snap on one?
Love to know when he bought those Snap On ratcheting flex head wrenches. Because at the moment, they are only available in a Blue Point wrench.
My poor eyestrain, I myself love the painted in font
Wright tools have been solid for me across the board on par with Snap on lesser known and priced accordingly for now,
All comes down to service and availability. If you dog your tools a lot, and break a wrench or two is it better for a snap on,mac,Cornwell, or Matco truck depending on brand to come by and warranty it out instead of having the waiting period to do a claim and wait for it to be approved and shipped. There is some tool trucks that carry those wrenches like my Cornwell dealer does but it comes down to service and availability.
if you think the wrenches are great you should check out their socket sets the rachets in them are damn near unbreakable and ive put jack handles on the end of the 3/8 ratchet as a cheater bar
I’ll agree that Milwaukee is the best in cordless but I call BS @ 3:40. I’m a diesel mechanic and have a lot of snap on wrenches and snap on doesn’t make a flex head ratcheting wrench with an open end. They make a double box in a flex head. I know there’s blue point but that’s not snap on. And if they flop around snap on will warranty it because I’ve done it.
Probably talking about the blue point. Wouldn't be a video if he explicitly said that haha
So, this kid just starts out by saying that, since he has never heard of or seen a Milwaukee hand tool/wrench in person, that they must be junk. Talk about prejudging for an absolute ridiculous reason. Why no pick one up and use it before making a silly statement like that?
Then he actually used them, and now he sees the quality and value in them being great tools at a decent price.
His snap on shirt an snap on religion clouded his judgement I guess
Yeah the shirt should of been a dead giveaway.
Could DEFINITELY say the same for snap-on and their electric tools
Does snap on tools have the placebo effect?
I thought Milwaukee impacts were powerful, then I tried the first Makita XGT and was like yeah that’s good, then tried the latest XGT and it’s just immense. Gotta love snap on wrenches though they are the best.. might try out a set of Milwaukees as I need an imperial set.
Snap on actually has thin wrenches or at least they did back when I used to wrench.
Probably a dumb question. But do the milwaukee wrenches fit in a packout box?
not in the package them come in
You have to get a foam insert and then cut it. Or you can 3D print a holder
They offer a packout-loaded version of tthe sett, box and all. Or did.
milwaukee can make literally every tool better👊
great info.
Thanks Chris
Benz tech that uses vise grips on brake jobs... Really!!!
I like my icon better then my snap off. Snap off warranties are a nightmare and I bet Milwaukee has a lot better warranties. That's why I love my icon it's as easy as go in come out brand new tool no questions asked
Milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver is pretty sweet. Like the stubby one
My nephew does audio installation and spent at least $25,000 on snap-on tools and a tool box at 18 years old. Sure... The tools are great and will last him a lifetime. The pricing is just ludacris.
I don't make money off my tools but I sure don't see a $20,000 difference in quality between my HF box and less expensive tools.
Home Depot frequently has the 15-piece Milwaukee ratcheting wrenches for $79 in their daily deals. I think I'm going to finally pull the trigger on an SAE and metric set to supplement my 1980s Craftsman wrenches I bought with my first real paycheck as a kid. They'll have an easy life.
I do computer work from home... And yes, I buy my computers on sale too
I like my Milwaukee wrench. Good enough for me
Great Video Brother 🤠🦬🍗🍻💯
Thanks Justin, appreciate that!
I woke up from a nap and this is the first video I see. I clicked and laughed. I use snap on wrenches only daily. Wouldn't use any other brand of wrenches. A customer of mines gave me the SAE and Metric Non ratcheting wrenches set when Milwaukee first came out with it to me for free, It sat in my tool drawer for about two years and I gave it away free. Just use it once and never like it, then a 10mm went missing as well. Didn't care much for them, off it to a younger Mechanic. Snap on tools for all things wrenches, ratcheting, box end, S curved, all wrenches!!
Always awesome to hear professionals takes on tools, awesome.
also Project Farm has a great video on wrenches with some surprising results if anyone is in the market.
5 years good luck with the warranty😜
The kids t-shirt kind of says it all
Wera joker makes the best wrenches
For thin open end, I bought the Stahlwille XL combo wrenches.
But I also have the complete MM and SAE sets of these Milwaukee wrenches. Use em everyday
hell ya stahwille or wera are amazing
It comes how you take care of your investment,Me I got 2003 Honda crv the only Downside is the A/C I did replaced the A/C twice in 20 years
Hello, I love your show brother. I have a question, would you buy Milwaukee batteries from Amazon or Craigslist?
I may be able to guess the answer
Capri sells a great thin wrench set.
The wrenches are horrendous The open end is way too thick not only that but the back drag and inconsistent vac drag is very strong on these
