@@littlejackalo5326 i like bahco
@@aatutoivanen4117 I wasn't saying anything bad about them. Cody said that Bahco owns Snap-On, and I was clarifying.
@@littlejackalo5326 yeah i know
Price is about to shoot through the roof for all these goods. lol
@Wranglerstar, could you do a video comparing the harbor freight 3.5lb axe and the cold steel trail boss (preferably a new one as i've heard many bad things about their handles so i just to see if they hold up to the Pacific Northwest Forests). Also a video on the Hults Bruks 28in chopping axes (yankee and montreal models compared to the Gränsfors Bruks Scandinivian Forest Axe).
As a professional mechanic for over 23 years here in Ireland I still take joy and pleasure in my Snap On tools . We only had the choice of Snap On or MAC when I started and my grandfather also a mechanic told me you have to use quality tools you’ve someone’s life in your hands working on their vehicle
That is a wonderful way of seeing it. Shows incredible stewardship. Stewardship is lacking in many areas. Folks don’t seem to care that they are working on someone’s vehicle, something so many of us rely on. They don’t always care to do the job right.
I have a 1/4" snap on ratchet and I love it. It's my favorite, because it operates beautifully and I found it on the side of the road, so it was free.
I buy “made in USA” (otherwise known as vintage) tools at estate sales and flea markets and then re-condition them.
A man after my own heart
That's the way to go man. Old tools need TLC
"Get the best tools you can afford, and you will never ever regret it."
Those were the words of my dad to me as a boy in the early 70's which I have lived by all my life. And I have never regretted it.
Worked in Engineering at IBM
Worked in the trades until I became disabled at work, in 2001.
Never regretted it.
I will say this,
If God blesses you later in life, and you are able to upgrade your tools, do it. You won't regret it, and you'll be a blessing to those who come after you who are fortunate enough to aquire your hard earned collection of tools. They will not go to waste!
PS: Nice vice Cody!
This really makes me appreciate my Craftsman tools. My mom bought me their 246 piece kit for Christmas 19 years ago, when I was 17. It was fully loaded with most everything you need. Fortunately that’s when they still made top notch quality tools. I haven’t lost one piece and everything looks and works like new 19 years later. The whole kit was on sale for $200. That Williams looks really nice, but I’ll never buy snap-on.
I bought the same kit about just as long ago, at about the same age. It's still holding up!
My full Craftsman Mechanics kit, both Metric and Imperial, 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive was my high school graduation present from my parents back in 1982.
Still use the kit, it has followed me all the way to Tokyo!
Cheers
Craftsman is finally looking like they are making a shift back to USA made. They are bringing back the V series and are even building a brand new plant (hopefully finishes)
Craftsman used to be some of the best American made tools for the money. They’ve gone down hill ever since they moved over seas. SK is my go to now for American made tools.
did the craftsman included both us imperial & european metric?
The internals of the Williams look the same as my Snap On F936. 36 tooth ratchet, exact same mechanism. So it looks like the Williams is just the last generation of Snap On. Looks like a very good alternative. Great choice.
I have both F936 and Williams and I'm pretty sure they're the same.
I can verify that both ratchets use the same rebuild kit. I got a kit from the snap on truck and it fits both.
Cody, I changed a clutch and drive axle on a Toyota Camry using mostly Craftsman tools. Worked beautifully for years after, I still have the Craftsman tools, and money in the bank because I didn't pay big bucks for Snap -on Tools. I am only a weekend mechanic and don't do this daily. If I did, I might pay the high bucks to keep me in business. My dad had a 3/8 inch Craftsman rachet for years but put on a 4 ft pipe as a cheater bar. He didn't even use a breaker bar but used the rachet like one. It broke, he returned it at the local Sears store and got a new ratchet. They gave him a new one. Reckon that's why they're out of business? Love the teardowns and the explanations. The video was awesome! A professional job as well. Great video! God bless you & your family!
I bought a set of SnapOn sockets in British Standard 3/8 drive to work on my Triumph Bonneville and MG Sprite in 1964. And I was issued some SnapOns in the AirForce in 1967. Still have them all. Work perfectly.
Ok THOSE would be neat sockets to have!
After doing this for 40+ years, i can say from experience for the most part, Snap On has made some of the best hand tools.
Now, having said that, the value vs performance ratio isn't great. There have always been made in USA tools even today, it's just the selection is less.
New Britian, Easco, Bonney, Allen and others made tools that were functionally as good as SO for a fraction of the price. Bonney tools in particular were very close in the fit and finish to a SO. Though all of these and other brands are long absent now, the quality has endured.
Wright, SK (at least with the stock on hand), Bondus, Lang, Lisle and others still make quality tools in the US.
You are correct in emphasizing that if you are going to keep a tool over the long term, buy the best you can afford. One item that often gets over looked is the warranty. SO only warrants the item to the original purchaser, while many brands will do a replacement without a receipt or waiting for the local tool truck to arrive.
thanks Cody, this takes me back to what got me into your channel, homesteading videos and your unbiased tool assessments (recommended by a friend for same reason) have kept me watching ever since. there's nothing like picking up a tool for a job that you've had for years and have it fit your hand perfectly, know that it won't let you down. I've lost so many of these over the years when "borrowed" by friends and never returned that I keep them locked up now. I asked my Dad for a tool kit when I was about 8 for christmas (53 now) and still have a couple of the spanners left, not the best quality but my Dad gave them to me so they are priceless. building up a tool kit for Jack will show him you respect he's learnt enough to do his own work. soon as I'd watched I had to see if we could get williams tools in the uk from amazon, glad to see we can get some.
Found my first snap on ratchet at a pawnshop have never regretted buying it, a little scuffed but works great. It’s a little hard to find good deals in these places but they are there if you look and take your time
It was a similar video series on the 50 most useful tools that lead me to your channel. I’ve learnt a great deal since and I’ve really enjoyed the journey. Looking forward to the series.
When I was a mechanic I started out with all matco ratchets. I traded them all in for snap on. I stopped wrenching 7-8 years ago, and I still use my snap on ratchet at home. Love them to this day.
matco rachets are more expensive than snap on
@@ivantinoco2643and matco don't even make tools
I finally got to buy myself a morakniv companion, and boy, am I impressed. Thank you for your video on the morakniv a few months ago. From now it will be the only everyday use knife I use!!
As a 24 year old blue collar dad I’m so here for this series
I’m really impressed with the crescent brand ratchet sets
this is excellent im gonna binge watch all this in one sitting
I’m 17 almost 18 and Cody has been one of my biggest role models besides my dad and granddads. I’ve been subscribed for 5+ years and I can’t recall a video I haven’t enjoyed and/or gotten something out of
Thank you Ben
I'm 64 and regret that I lacked benefit of wranglerstar back when I was your age. I tried to escape the mental muddle my father instilled by constant degradation, abuse through alcohol, drugs and associated behaviors. Ben, I'm so glad things are different for you and that your track looks solid.
My guess is that you love our Lord.
God took the desire to drink and all that 32 years ago and life is so much better although some of that muddle persists where with you and Cody fond memories of loving direction, correction persist.
Have at it brother, you are to be a fine husband, father, grandfather!!
Thank you Cody for such great content. These are my favorite kind of videos! Keep up the great work, and hello from rainy England.
Awesome! Thank you!
Back in my day, I did sheet-metal during the day, and hung out at my friends marine outboard shop in Sausalito California. Having a chance to tinker on those motors was fun, and challenging. The salt water is so unforgiving. Learning how to finesse a frozen bolt packed with salt, it’s like doing a magic trick.
When you were disassembling, I had the same exact thought about putting that back together. Nice job!
Cody, a great idea to give Jack good tools. I am 58 years old and still most of the tools that my father started to give when I was about 10 years old. He was hoping that I stopped using his tools. It mostly worked; they were good trade quality tools that are as good today as when he gave them to me. I now have all of his tools and many of them are far older than me. They aren’t Snap On but the are the Australian equivalent Sidchrome. I have tools from many different countries, I always purchased the best quality that I could afford. It does please me when I pick up a 30-year-old tool and it fits into my hand like a glove. People who never use tools professionally rarely understand how a good fitting tool makes your day. I just hope that Jack learns to appreciate what a true gift a quality tool is.
I’m very excited for this series. It’s great that you’ll be handing these down to Jack.
This kind of video is why I stay subscribed.
You are an absolute legend for making these videos and sharing generations of experience! Passing down tools and life lessons from your dad to your son and so on. Plus giving this information and life lessons to people. Well done. Love you videos and all you do!
I know this video was about tools but still a beautiful video especially when you talk about your Grandad as I love hearing your stories of him and your stories too. I can watch & listen to you for hours. You and family stay safe.
I put a lot of thought into buying a new tool. I love doing research and finding the perfect balance of quality and price. I get the feeling that you're the same way Cody
Going to love this series. I am slowly replacing all of my old US Craftsman ratchets with SO. The fine tooth and durability is worth it to me. I’ll keep using my old Craftsman sockets but the old socket wrenches always left something to be desired.
Same craftsman pro series for most stuff but certain items need to be snap on like ratchet wrench and torque wrench
"Buy once cry once" great one to live by.
As I am in the fall of my life I had to buy a few snap-on ratches before I die. I didn't need them but wanted them. They're the best in the world and you can feel it. Life is too short and you have to let go sometimes. Just like you, I smile every time I use them.
100 % true story snap on ratchets are the best I never believe it till I used one now that's all I use is snapon ratchets
Definitely going to love this series.
I got my first set of ratchets in jr. high, a collection of new and hand me down from my dad and grandpa. Not snap on or Williams, but those ratchets will always mean a lot to me and hopefully I can pass down to my kids one day.
Thank you for bringing this brand into light for everyone including myself. I will definitely be checking this out as an affordable alternative for quality tools.
As a former homebuilder, I had a 1/2"-drive SK-Wayne socket set for lag screws and bolts for building decks and laying sill plates on poured foundations. Also used that set on the under-carriage of my truck. Then, I bought the old original Craftsmen sockets. Never had a failure with either brand. Snap-On's high prices have always been a deterrent for me. Cody, even if you are biased, we luv you bro.
Thank you for this series.
Back in college when I was first buying tools and heard that craftsman was going overseas, I went and bought the nicest made in USA ratchet I could find. That ended up being the Professional 84T 2548 in a 3/8 drive. Talk about something that brings the fizz back like the same day I bought it. I use it more than my snapon 3/8 comfort grip
If you grew up around one or have spent time with actual mechanics, nothing gives you that fizz like a snap-on. It just feels right.
Always gave me the opposite of the fizz
Just admiring a fresh ratchet over a cup of coffee is one of lifes simple pleasures, it just hits the sweet spot of a mans heart. 👌
Thanks for this series Cody. I'm a diesel mechanic and this is right up my alley.... look forward to it. .... also, you're absolutely right.... if you know... you know
Love the video! Reminds me of Mr Rogers in a way.. I believe you are the Mr Rogers of tools. Looking forward to the next one
Been a subscriber for many years, watched every video you have made, but I honestly think this is the video series I am most excited for! I have all Snap-on tools, but I'm still excited for it.
This is great timing. My tool situation is a hot mess from losing, breaking, loaning out and I’ve been procrastinating because I didn’t want to drop the coin on USA made stuff just yet.
I have specific tools for "loaning out", meaning tools that I know that there's a good chance I will never see again. Hammers, screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, drill, jigsaw etc. It's mostly the tools that I bought as a kid. The good stuff -anything I got as an adult - never leaves my property unless it's with me.
@@Joe60459 not getting tools back, that you loaned out, is partly a loaner problem. If you don't make it a point to get your stuff back, you're partly to blame. I would never let anyone use my stuff and not return/replace it. I am known for loaning EVERYTHING out. Trucks, trailers, tractors, lab equipment, metrology equipment, etc. Never once, in 20 years, have I had a tool not returned/replaced.
@@littlejackalo5326 you are correct. I also should have been more clear in my first comment.
When I said there was a good chance that I would not see my tools again, I meant there was a good chance that they would come back broken. I didn't mean that they would not be returned to me at all, although you are correct that when that happens, I am also partially at fault.
I don't have trucks, tractors, or specialised equipment. The people who borrow tools from me are not professionals that are missing some specialised tool that they need for a job. It is just a friend or neighbour (I live in a large apartment building) who needs a screwdriver to build an Ikea bookcase, or a saw to cut something simple. Screwdrivers have come back stripped, drills have come back broken (dropped), saws have come back with cut cords. So my main issue is the lack of skills on the part of the people borrowing the tools.
Thank you for pointing that out. I will try to be more clear with my comments in the future.
Look into cat tools also, their made by snap on and Williams.
Super pumped Cody! I'm about over these harbor freight tools I have. Cost effective and work but no "fiz factor"
saw my first Williams ratchet today at an auto body shop and then i come home and watch this video. Coincidence? I think not!
Thanks, Cody. Looking forward to this series. BTW, my wife and are are building the tool kits for our three daughters. They each got a Milwaukee drill/driver kit plus some hand tools from Santa to start them on their way.
May I respectfully recommend JIS 'Japanese Industrial Standard' screwdriver because they are a great fit and don't tend to Cam-out like Phillips or Pozi. 'Vessel' are expensive but arguably the best, being Japanese. But cheaper sets are available. There is a made in China precision screwdriver mini bit set 49 in 1 with grey coloured S2 Tool Steel in a double sided magnetic slide-out box, that I can recommend.
Dad was a USA Craftsman guy..I remember going to Sears with him for tools and exchanging tools right at the counter if any thing ever broke. The sales clerk would take the old tool and tell Dad to go pick out the replacement. No questions asked..
Decades ago, I worked for a guy who'd go to yard sales and buy old, damaged Craftsman tools for pennies. He'd then take them to the Sears store and exchange them. I eventually realized he was just about as honest in his dealings with his employees.
I agree with everything you say buddy! You're the man. Im so jealous of your shop! You're an inspiration! I've been slowly trying to build up my tool collection with Snap On and everyone gives me grief for it. But, I'm not doing it selfishly. My thoughts are, whenever it's my time to go, my son will inherit great quality tools that also have sentimental value too them. Same with guns. I don't have a dad and i want to start a tradition of keeping quality tools or guns that will be passed down each generation. I'll never get to see if that plan actually upholds or not but i suppose it's about like planting an oak sapling. You don't plant the oak sapling so you can enjoy the benefits of a mature oak tree. You do it bc it's the right thing to do and for your kids to enjoy... I don't if I'm just rambling or if this even makes any sense or not. Keep up the great videos brother! Much respect to you from Louisville, KY! ✊️💯
I wish I had those options, I'm currently building a lawn mowing operation, so alot of the things I buy run into the thousands of dollars, right now but I do appreciate the time you put into this. Because someday after I get things off the ground l will use this information
European here. Just leaned back, enjoyed and learned what to look for in our hardware stores.
I was fortunate enough to start buying tools in the late 90's back when craftsman was still all US made. never had one of those tools fail me even after using them for years in a Shop
The Williams is the old model snapon ratchets. Same as there screwdrivers and a few other Williams tools are the old snapon stuff. Very high quality stuff for sure. I am loving this toolcart build so far!!
I loved watching him take apart that snap-on. I learn so much from this channel.
Thanks for making this video! Buy once, cry once is typically true, but buying the best you can afford is the best advice. A good tip to saving money on power tools is to buy Ridgid if you can’t quite afford Milwaukee. Some of the Octane models seem to be rebadged Milwaukee tools. I’ve had good luck with them.
The finer tooth models *should* be stronger because there is more surface area touching.
True, but the sometimes suffer from teeth alignment issues, which can cause tooth shearing, when the load is high. My SK 90 tooth ratchets suffered from this. The need to make that design a little more skookem.
Through the years I have a decent lot of tools. All snap on, maco and all my power tools are milwaukee. Iv bought 60% of my hand tools used. All the milwaukee I bought new. Still to this day I have never had one fail.
Wright tools also makes very nice stuff. Also made in USA
Thank You - I started my upgrade process. My Williams screwdrivers arrived today. Got the 8 piece set. Will give my sons my non ProHo items for their home starter one day!
I've looked at the Williams stuff, but my favorite has made stuff is the wright tool company
Awesome man! Fun fact you probably knew but J. H. Williams made the first gen Kolbalt tools. Of course now the kobalt brand is Taiwan but I got the combo 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2” ratchets for under $15 a piece. (I think $8, $10, and $12 respectively). I found this out making a “go to” set for my brothers for Christmas.
I’m excited for this series. Thanks for putting it together!
This will be a good series. Thanks for thinking about the rest of us out here in the pro homeowner world!
I started with cheap box store tools until I made enough to get the tool truck stuff. At that point my cheap stuff became my loaner/decoy/"art stock" tools for when I need to make something special.
I think for work tools or home shop, it's OK to get the good stuff so you get the mechanic's Gucci hand bag vibe where you do most of your work, and keep basic craftsman or other cheap sets out in vehicles or on equipment for when stuff just happens.
I used to have USA made Craftsman hand tools from years and years ago. But some snake stole them from my rig one day several years ago. So cheap overseas Craftsman hand tools are what I carry now. But my shop and living quarters will be finished this May. And I'll proudly buy all USA made tools for it not to mention as many USA made household items as I can find and afford.
I really like tekton tools as well
WRIGHT tools is very high quality in my experience, and are a great option in American made tools.
Their Wrightgrip wrenches are very well respected too and their Contour grip is second to none in bare steel ratchet handles.
Love Wright tools!
I got a deal on a set of their wrenches. I can't believe how well they grip a bolt.
I couldn't possibly justify the 2800 for the snap on set, considering how perfect the wright grips are and significantly less money
I’m going to love this series. My Grandpa was a Snap-On dealer back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I was fortunate enough to inherit some beautiful tools from him but I intend to use your recommendations to fill a few gaps in my tool chest. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. It's always fun to read personal stories.
Snap On is the GOAT when it comes to tools, period!
It all comes down to what's your budget, couldn't agree more with Cody on that. This was interesting, had no idea how these things actualle work.
quite detailed to allow me to learn more....... I'm an East Coast guy in Orlando without the snow...... Growing up, craftsman was my grandfather and dad's supply for quality tools. Now, well you know, not any longer.....
Looks like around 1993, father was a mill Wright at Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point Maryland for over 30 years. Just about all the tools he had were Williams. I still have some of his old stuff. My brother received a socket set from my parents, it was a Kobalt set from lLowes. Made in the 🇺🇸 and on the package was made by Kobalt a division of Williams and a subsidiary of Snap on tools. Cannot go wrong with USA made tools, new or used.
Like a watchmaker pulling apart the ratchets!!! The touch!!! Hahaha
Snap-on owns Bacho. If your looking for an adjustable wrench for your kit get the Bacho adjustable wrench. There the same as Snap-on, but Snap-on puts on chrome and the flank drive plus. I have the Snap-on 6" adjustable wrench, cost me over $80, but it is amazing.
I have 19 snap on hand ratchets now and I still have the same reaction when I get a new one. Hands down my favorite tools.
I have a couple Pittsburgh telescoping ratchets. Nice to have the leverage when you need it but still get into tighter scenarios.
That’s your price difference right there! On the Williams, just one teeth is engaged, on the Snap-On four some teeth are engaged, hence way stronger. Nice show!
Buy once cry once. I’m a true believer is saving for the best tool you can buy. I’m 42 and have SO, SK, and many others that were my grandfathers and my dads. I still use them professionally. I’ve bought my own tools since I was about 16 and I still use them. I’m not tied to one Brand. Just a good quality tool. I buy singles from pen shops and second hand stores - many covered in funk and rust for a dollar or so. Clean them up and your good to go. My dad gives me buckets of old crusty tools and I get to work cleaning them up. Amazing what good tools can endure.
when i worked as a mechanic for about 5 years in my early 20's i always used craftsman just cause thats what i could afford at the time and it was quality back then. but there was always something about a snap on ratchet that just gave me the fizz. it was just superior in every way. all the other hand tools didnt bother me so much like wrenches etc, but man a snap on ratchet is hard to beat. it just feels right. that and their ratcheting bit driver. my god i love those 2 tools from snap on. my ratchets got stolen along with my bit driver that i held near to me cause i used it to build my first gaming pc, that kind of thing. so now just 3 months ago a local pawn shop called me and said "hey i heard you were looking for some snap on ratchets and a bit driver, ive got some for sale right now" i rushed down there so fast. got em for a smoking deal and im so happy i have at least some of my snap on stuff back.
I’m 19 years old, I worked at a service shop for 5 years now. I started out taking out trash and doing gopher work. I progressed to doing oil changes and then to steering and suspension work and some engine work too. I am currently in college and I own a bunch of gear wrench, some old USA made craftsman and some snap on and matco. The snap on, matco and even a lot of the gearwrench give me the “fizz” I love my tools and I have put almost all of them through hell and back and they have all held up quite well. Moral of the story is buy quality, take care of it and it will last you a lifetime.
JH Williams are what I currently use at the moment, especially coming out of college and going in as an aviation mechanic, quality tools are the backbone for the work we need to do.
I have a suggestion. Once we have all the recommended tools come up with a small project to put them to use. I'm not a tool person but I'm interested in learning and see how to use them.
So excited to hear about these Williams tools! I love my Snap-on tools, but they are PRICEY! I grew up using and loving Craftsman tools from Sears. They were always American made, reasonably priced, and had a great warranty. With the demise of Sears, the current day Craftsman tools are largely made in China, and are a shadow of their former glory. I have a feeling, I'll be buying some Williams screwdrivers soon to fill some gaps in my kit! Another great video!
the best videos! Alongside the random ones where you fix stuff
Circa 2013 when Craftsman was clearancing out all the USA tools, I was buying up everyone I could get my hands on... Only reason to own PRC tools.. in case you need to cut a wrench in half to make a stubby... The only Sanp-On I can bring myself to purchase is the ratchets, boy I love those fine tooth ratchets...
I have been watching your vids for years and always look forward to ANYTHING you post! This is a series that I will be very interested in as I’m starting to upgrade a lot of my tools I have had since I was a teenager. Most of what I have has served me well but it’s time to grow and replace.
I am very interested in the brands you mentioned and I have also been trying to find and get information on the ICON brand. The tools are easily accessible, warranty is great, price point isn’t outrageous. They aren’t made in USA sadly but they seem to be decent quality.
I'm also a SK and Williams dealer in up state new York now too ...love my William tools now too,also .
I’m starting a tool kit for both my boys. I appreciate you providing this information.
I have a pre world war 1/2 drive snap on ratchet that was my grandfather’s. Also a 3/4 drive Williams with Montgomery Wards 3/4 socket set. All very old.
The old saying buy once cry once.
i found most USA or Canadian or European tools are great tools are great as long as they fit your hands well and do the job right . good vid
Williams line of tools is an Industrial line that Snap-On owns. Not all of Williams tools are USA made some are made in Taiwan.
Professional homeowner here who has never turned wrenches for a living. I bought a small Snap-On pocket screwdriver with the tiny traditional handle at the Indy 500 in 1995. I only wanted Snap-On from that day on. I built up I could collection of snap on before I was married. Best thing ever did was buy those expensive tools beforer anyone was able to tell me they cost too much!
Not all the williams is USA you can tell by the part number, the overseas stuff part number is a different format. It’s generally older snap on designs. The tool trucks will warranty them as well
Also look into CAT tools next time you’re at the dealer many of those are made by snap on sometimes a toss up how they come marked. Buddy go some with Williams, cat, or snap on all from the cat tool catalog.
ITS HERE!!! Very Excited
I have the black handled version 35 years old my #1 used ratchet.
Thank you for doing a made in America series. A lot of us are starting out and want to buy quality but made by our fellow citizens.
Worked my way through community college as a compressor mechanic for industrial hvac compressors (rebuild of cores). They started at the size of a small 2 stroke motor up to the size of a large propane tank, all using crank and piston. I started out with a 1990's craftsman kit that cost $100. As soon as I could, I moved over to snap-on. It was well worth the money to pick up those tools off the truck, even at minimum wage of $4.50 an hour.
Looking forward forward to this series. Love seeing quality USA tools at fair prices. Honestly have never heard of Williams tools. I own a small hardware store in Southern ohio and I am going to look into being a distributor for them. Would like to offer an alternative to chinesium made products at decent prices.
Good on ya, sir! Also, look into WRIGHT tool (made in the USA).
God bless you sir .
I know I might get some hate for this but I got a craftsman wrench and socket set and I love the size of the handle on the craftsman ratchet
I absolutely agree with snap on and blue point tools.... but I also have ratchets I've had 20 years still going strong....s-k and Wright
