Sorry I didn't get to this review sooner. Here are the links to the products tested, and there's more information in the video description. It's extremely helpful to have one of these kits inside the home for the entire family to use and as a "loaner" kit. So convenient and not a big deal if something gets lost or broken. I always look forward to reading your comments, and I'm looking forward to your suggestions on future video ideas.

Any tool kit that includes a hammer,
is usually not worth buying.
Can you do another impact and drill comparison? You could include more brands like the newer Skil and other brands like Hurcules
I'd love to see one on a rust converter or rust neutralizer need for a truck frame
No need to be sorry man. We love what you do on the channel and appreciate any testing/advice provided!
Your formatting is a little off for this
It's rare that I even consider buying a tool nowadays without first watching a review from you. On behalf of an enormous number of people like me, thank you!
My pleasure!
SAME!!
@@ProjectFarmI think an interesting video is how consistent the build quality is between brands. I'm an electrician and it seems like higher priced brands like Knipex are very more consistent than ones like Channellock or Southwire or even Klein. A cool test would be to see if multiple identical products like diagonal cutters would compare to each other within their own brand.
Only probably with that, is companies instantly raise prices when he makes a positive video on any product. Also remember over the years companies change formulas/recipes to make bottom line cheap.
Yep, if he didn't review it, neither will I. 🎉
You are a very honorable man for not selling out to any companies. In a world full of greed, you are a fresh air. May your chi be fulfilled and cherished.
Thank you very much!
The Project Farm "Very Impressive!" seal of approval is the most prestigious award in products.
Thanks!
If I lived in the US I would surely buy that VERY IMPRESSIVE t-shirt
Do you sell merchandise?? You can sell boxers with the "very impressive hardware!!" logo on it.. LMAO JK
@@zombe5150_ 🤣🤣🤣
I saw an ad on YT with "very impressive" displayed on the thumbnail. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😀
Love that you used a Craftsman socket for the 200 ft lb test. Says something about the quality level of that old socket.
Thanks!
Yup! I have some of those "old school" sockets - practically indestructible
@@Erik_The_Viking I have plenty of snapon tools but i have had no need to replace my old USA craftsman sockets............... they are indestructable
The old US made Craftsman tool were definitely excellent quality.
@@Erik_The_VikingSame here. Bought a kit in 1990 and it's been flawless.
Harbor Freight puts a 130 piece kit on sale a few times per year for 29.99. Makes a decent "trunk kit" and can handle most of the simple things around the house (hanging pictures, door sets, furniture assembly, etc). I keep one in all my cars for emergency roadside repairs or if someone, invariably, asks me to do something at their house (and of course the don't own any tools). Probably wouldn't live up to heavy use, but decent for what it is. Thanks as always for all your hard work.
got the quinn version of that set in my car along with their better scissor jack for this reason
Same here :D
You’re one of the best RUclipsrs out there. Happy to have subscribed to you for years. Thanks for another great video!
My pleasure!
I still love my old (USA made) Craftsman set. Works great, even in the field.
Going on my 3rd Craftman ratchet on light use in the past 2 years..never again
Thank you for sharing!
@@s7v7nfiv5
In the mid 2000’s, they started making their tools in China. It’s a shame.
@@s7v7nfiv5 I’m still using a 3/8 ratchet and sockets that belonged to my Dad. They’re over 60 years old and still as good as ever. It’s been used as a ratchet, a hammer and even a pry bar. I really can’t complain about the old style made in U.S.A. Craftsman tools.
@@s7v7nfiv5 Unfortunately that "Craftman" tools set is Craftsman only in name and is a mass produced asian market product(not everything comes from china, but prolly china.) I don't think anything Craftsman from the past 10 years actually honors the name they bare.
Every household should have a general toolkit! Thanks for the review 😃
Thank you very much!
I absolutely love how you "operationalize" your testing, and communicate the criteria clearly. You are a good role model for researchers everywhere...and so enlightening to watch. Thank you and please keep up the excellent work!
I have collected many RUclips channel subscriptions over the years. Some fade over time. Your's is consistently one of the very best channels on YT!
Project Farm ROCKS!
I was almost crying as those spanners and ratchits broke. I love my tools. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
I love the fact that your videos are not mere reviews, but that they SHOW actual reliable TESTS!
I was looking at buying a toolset this morning on Amazon, and what a great coincidence and my great luck that you literally posted this video an hour ago! THANK YOU, this video made my job MUCH easier at deciding.
Two or three weeks ago I posted a video of tire pressure gauges JUST before I was set to buy one. Followed his recommendations.
Another awesome review. I would add a couple of reference points for the graphs for these multi tool kits so we can see how they compare to your individual tool tests. Maybe add the best and worst performing products as reference points to see how good these tools really are. Like to say thanks again for these awesome reviews!
Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.
😅 Bot borrowed that comment. @@ProjectFarm
@@ProjectFarm that is a bot dude
*I spent last night with her on Only Fans! She has excellent reference Points!*
Siphoning viewers with that bait pic, profile link, and 'borrowed' comment. Delete this fam@@ProjectFarm they are redirecting traffic from your page
I don't even need a tool set like that but I love your testing. So thorough. Thx for your service to the consumer.
Thanks and you are welcome!
What? No Snap On Kit for $78,999 ?
Haha 😂
I think home tool kits are a bit below any respectable tool brands. XD
What discount code did you use to get that deal? 😉
Love your Videos man, never stop doing what you're doing!
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me!
I have this image of your shop being filled with a modge podge of various tools that "made it" through your testing. At least you know if you pick up a random tool to use, it probably won't break.
Thank you for the hard work you do to test all of these things.
Toyota master technician here. ✋🏼 my tools are mostly Snap On and I’ve used them professionally for 7 years. That being said, I bought a craftsman set similar to what you have (aimed more towards mechanics) and I’ve used it around the house for basic vehicle maintenance and repairs for many appliances around the house and I’ve been very pleased with how this set has held up over the past 5 years. I wouldn’t use them professionally every day all day but they do great for occasional use around the house. I know craftsman isn’t what it used to be (my dad gave me a set of 90’s craftsman tools) but for just basic stuff around the house they do great. I always recommend craftsmen for “around the house” stuff. Just my 2 cents. Love the videos man. 🤙🏼
The problem with SnapOn is that those low weekly payments run forever. Most people can't justify or afford that. I know I for one don't want the SnapOn man stalking my funeral looking for his check.
@@LatitudeSky agreed. Thankfully all my stuff is paid off lol but they are the best in the industry when it comes to professional use. But my power tools are Milwaukee at the shop.
saying you're a mechanic at a dealership is something you shouldn't tell people. The worst of the worst work there, literally break anything they touch.
@@nastysoda9212 I dunno what to tell you broski other than my work speaks for itself. 🤷🏼♂️
Maryland?
One somewhat strange thing I would love to see you test is different solar panels and if certain brands are more efficient than others or any differences that should be noted.
that video would take like 4-5 months to make but would be cool to see
I have a Kobalt 210 count set i bought when i was 15. 13 years later I am still using it for all my mechanic work and I'm happy to report u have never broken or lost a single piece (even the 10 mm sockets are there)
Thanks for sharing.
I was gifted a kobalt toolbox and a lot of kobalt tools and it was stolen, I will never forget it
Not sure I believe the 10mm socket story.
@@I_am_archie the 10mm you guard with your life LOL
@I_am_archie if you tube let me post photos I'd show you. Ever 10 mm socket and in every driver size is there
Excited for this one I've been needing a kit for the truck.
This is meant for homes unfortunately.
Thank you very much!
If you go back 10 months on his page, he did a "best mechanics toolset" - that would be the one you'd really want for your truck! 🙂
Huh? A wrench is a wrench; a hammer is a hammer; a screwdriver is a screwdriver.
Unless you’re the Bearded Mechanic. Then everything is a hammer, unless it’s a screwdriver
@@jochem1986 still good for any odd jobs you come across on the day-to-day
I actually need a full basic set, so i look forward to watching this
Thank you very much!
3.31 million subscribers. Big Congrats and thank you so much for your channel. Been with you since pretty near the beginning.
I always check your videos before I purchase most tools or products. The information you provide helps me make good choices and avoid wasting time and money.
Thank you for providing good product reviews.
I bought the Etenwolf tire pressure gauge for my Outer Banks island beach camper camping trip last week. In order to get around on the deep sand you have to air down tires to about 18 psi, I found that gauge to be very accurate and worked nicely for the price. Thank you for the test!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to read your Facebook Marketplace place ads for all of these incomplete tool kits! For sale: 4th place toolkit, missing hammer, T25 bit, #2 screwdriver, and 10mm socket. Everything else is there because we didn’t test that.😂
I have always built my own tool sets . For tools used most,I buy high quality. For those that maybe used once in a while, inexpensive ones. Many of my "Home" tools are family heirlooms . Good thorough review.
My son has the black and green Pittsburgh kit. He uses it all the time and we have had no complaints
I have a good amount of old US-made Craftsman tools that have stood the test of time and abuse. Nice to see them still doing well in this review. My son gave me a Kobalt tool set for my birthday and I must say they are of pretty decent quality. Though I didn't really need new tools, it's nice to have extras, just in case of loss or breakage.
Thanks for sharing.
This is funny because I have an insane amount of tools I work with but practically nothing in my house.
Good timing on this one.
This was a massive amount of work! Well done!
I bought a Craftsman tool kit in 2001 and luckily was one the best years for Craftsman. They are labeled V/A and are on high demand now on Ebay. After 23 years of wrenching I have almost every part yet.
Thanks, you're like a fun version of underwriters labs. Such a great resource for us DIY'ers
You are welcome!
loved this review. Thank you, I have been using Kobalt for years now and every road trip I go on I keep the larger mechanic kit in my truck .
Thanks again
Best channel on RUclips. Protect this man at all costs! Thank you.
Thanks!
I still have some old Craftsman tools that have stood the test of time! Out lasted Sears. I still have a 35 yo shopvac and reciprocating saw (not to mention Kenmore washer and dry just as old and still going).
I have a 40 year old Craftsman shopvac. Motor still works but the hose rotted out and disintegrated years ago. Replacement hoses are way too expensive.
Got my Sunday sermon!
shut up
Thank you

@@joseeduardo4327 Noice!
These tools may last throughout your life but you can’t take them with you when you go. Y’all need Jesus 😀
But we all need these reviews to make our lives better.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Thanks!!
Thank you very much and sorry it's taken me so long to finally put together this review!
Better than cable Todd... Thanks for another great video! I just love how you come up with such creative ways to test things...
You bet!
Oh my god I've been waiting forever to see you tackle tool sets!!
Amazing review as usual! 👍🏻
Thank you!
Great video Sir! As usual! 👏 So I agree, it's the fast pro bag for me too! I've got many tool kits but for some reason.... Tools will find any and every opportunity to find their way out of a hard side tool kit permanently! I've transferred tools from kit to kit to keep one filled but....I need new ! Tool bags are great for adding tools that are not included, holding old or new parts, and I find there are many options to organize the inside the way you like. Cloth, leather or heavy plastic bags or pouches, cut off pop bottles, even cut down gallon jugs with 3 cut plastic water bottles are useful, and smaller bags for the tools you rarely use but shure wish you had occasionally are all great things to organize your bag for easy grabbing of what you need. Whenever I go through the plastic tote isles or the plastic houseware accessories, like hand soap containers etc; even plastic pencil boxes that kids use in school are great for keeping all kinds of toolsI together and are easily stacked on one end of the bag. I always keep an eye out on what I can use to keep things compact and together for easy retrieval. I've found a zip up thin leather bag and clipped it to the side with boat hooks. That bag was the first bag to go in the job with all my necessary tools to determine most problems and the big bag only gets brought in about half the time for the repair portion and those heavier more mechanical jobs, where your drilling, cutting or tearing into things to get it fixed. That's my favorite system of all. Combine that with a 5gal bucket for cords, drill, paste, tape, caulks, larger wrenches, shorter pry bars, and other things you only need on occasion and you are a complete tool set on legs. Put it on a small aluminum 2whl cart, and now you roll in and out to complete the job with ease! I even bolted a flip down seat to mine that flips down over the bucket, so when you're kneeling....a lot of times you can just sit on the cart! That's working in style! Oh don't forget you can also use either side of that 5gal pail for a nice comfortable seat to save the knees! I just wonder if they are making the buckets thinner or am I getting heavier because the buckets now days are starting to collapse and split on the sides a lot more than ever before. Hum....I wonder if there is a way of testing something like that, along with its overall durability in various temperatures, including the handles! Great job.... Keep up the good work! J Poll.💯🏁🇺🇸👏.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
Man. I’m so addicted to these videos!
Thank you!
This man reads my mind. I was just using my socket set and thought. This seems to have been a good kit. Open up RUclips and I see this, wow.
I’ve been using a craftsman socket set for like 10 years, so far so good.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great to see you back to good old tool reviews would like to see some more old v new tools 👍
I was gifted a smaller version of the Craftsman kit many years ago...my "good" tools were stolen and I never replaced because the Craftsman kit has served me well. My goto.
Danke für das tolle Video! 😊
I’d love to see project farm put together an essential vehicle kit with everything you might want to keep in each vehicle
Thanks for the suggestion.
I bought a Halfords (UK) socket set in 1995 for about £40. I still have it to this day, its been a champ. I bet todays equivalent wouldn't last 2 years.
While not on the docket, Craftsman USA is the true winner here. Love your videos. The best of RUclips! 😊
Other than some specialty and precision tools, I use Harbor Freight for everything else at work because there's one right across the street. The trick is having multiple sets worth of tools. Sockets, wrenches, drivers, whatever. If one breaks or gets lost, what of it? I've got immediate backups, no waiting for the Snap-On guy. I don't feel bad if I have to torch cut one of my sockets to make it work. No one steals my tools, no one asks to borrow my tools, it's great having a bunch of beater tools. Even if they're 80% of Snap-On quality (I suspect the actual difference in quality is minor) they're amazing to have around.
I was surprised the Harbor Freight tools didn't fare better in the testing today. The thing with cheap tools though is no process control or QA. So from tool to tool you're going to get variable performance. Some good, some not so good. It's a crap shoot.
Not all HF tools are made equal. I've had HF stuff that was very decent and usable and I've had HF stuff that are basically just paperweight's.
@@carbonstar9091 consistency is an ongoing issue with cheap products. Although I've bought pro stuff that was defective too. Paid the full price for it. That really stings.
On my 15th birthday, I asked for a socket set! My parents bought me a Draper Socket Set (UK) I am nearly 69 years old! Still working perfectly!
this channel is of public utility, thx u so much, i'd love comparaison of the best paint remover
I own a Kobalt tool set, and was happy to see it was the top performer.
Thanks for the feedback.
My mom lives in a farm and she asked me to install a Security Camera, external camera, with night vision, ptz etc..
The first thing that came to mind was your channel, please can you make a video on security cameras!?
(I ended up buying the TPLINK VIGI 540)
I have being watching your reviews for years. You are always very thorough and fair. Truly unbiased. Thank you
Your testing equipment is superb, love it when you test everything to destruction 😊
Is a hammer handle really going to be dealing with that kind of force in daily use?
We all have a habit of testing things to destruction, don't we? What Todd does that's different is he quantifies it for us.
Well, you really tested that, Commander! GOOD run for their money! All my old stuff started with Crescent and I got the rest as I needed them, mostly old Craftman and Blackhawk. I sold my Harley for a Wabbit so my 1st set of metrics were pot metal but worked on my Wabbit just fine but that was probably 40 years ago. The old 96 model Coleman/Briggs generator did fine for 4 days with the storm too. East of here is gone but our hills held up with 30 inch rain with no power and a washed out road in spots. We Sure ARE BLESSED! GBWYall!
I would love to see a "vintage" craftsman tool versus "modern" craftsman tool comparison. I started my career as an auto mechanic with craftsman tools from the mid 90s when I feel the steel was better and still use quite a few of the tools from that set in my daily job. The few sockets I've had to warranty out in more recent years do not feel nor perform as well as their predecessors in my opinion.
I collect tools and I've noticed that as steel ages it gets harder and more brittle. It's not something I've ever seen documented or discussed. I just did a bit of online research and it does seem to be a known phenomenon. So you cannot really directly compare old and new tools because of the effect time has on tools. Time changes everything.
Not one scentece, not one word, not even a syllable too many!! BRAVO, Sir!! 👏👏👏👏
Pure pro as always, and always pure good fun to watch.
Great job once again, Todd. These tool kits are very handy to have around the house and in the car. I have thousands of dollars worth of "professional" tools of various sorts in my home shop (I am a retired auto mechanic and IT professional, and now wood-worker). However, I also have the "Crescent" brand version of these tool kits that I keep in my car for emergencies and handyman projects away from home. I have had the Crescent tool kit for about 30 years now, and it has held up very well, with a lot of use over the years. Crescent used to be a popular and well-made hand-tool brand back in the day (there is a reason everyone calls an open-end adjustable wrench a CRESCENT Wrench). However, since 90% of tools are made on the same assembly line in China (and owned by like 3 large conglomerate companies now), and are just rebranded after manufacturing, who knows what the quality of Crescent has become these days. I wish Crescent was also in this test just out of curiosity.
Also, one of the most important aspects (for me personally) of these tool kits was not tested here at all. That is how well the plastic blow-molded cases keep the tools in their perspective retainers, especially after the case has been carried around vertically by the handle and tossed around a little. There is nothing like opening up one of these tool kits and having some or all the tools fall out of the case every time because they are not held in place well. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!😊
Thanks, will do!
Everyone needs a good DIY Starter Kit.
I agree!
Every time a tool broke, my neck and back hurt !!! Lol. Heavy equipment mechanic for 43 years. I love your videos. Thank you !! Please be careful and God bless you and your family !!! Eddy
Let’s test the parcel service carriers next! FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS, etc.!
Anymore it just depends on who they hired that day 😣
The one thing Todd forgot here was to drop each kit multiple times from 4 or 5 feet to see if the latches popped open or not!
Due to a lot of tools I don't need a tool set but it's always a treat to watch your video :-) Thanks for all the work and effort you put into your unbiased testing! 👍👍👍
Thanks and you are welcome!
I would really like to see a home paint sprayer test. Uniform coating ease of cleaning ease of use for a couple of ideas
Thanks for the suggestion.
Small pressure washers would also be a good thing to test. I have a ryobi that cost $100 on sale a year ago that's turned out to be pretty good.
@@goodun2974 especially with the Stihl electric one
All of my tools came from the pawn shop's loose tools bin, quality brands of the last century. They are holding up extremely well. The tool bags worn out before the tools.
Could you do a review on the shelf life of 87 vs 93 octane and the effectiveness of fuel stabilizer and if fuel stabilizer or 93 will help protect carbs over extended time
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Excellent video as always! I started watching your channel not that long ago. I found out about it through a video where a channel with almost 16 million subscribers was very nervous watching your review of their own designed screwdriver. It showed a lot of respect for your channel.
Thanks!
Even though I have a nice collection of pricey tools, I'm always interested to see how the cheap stuff performs. Having some more cheap, but still usable, "loaner" tools on hand might not be a bad idea.
Great point! I really like keeping a tool kit like this in the house where it's convenient for the entire family to use.
@@ProjectFarm Agreed. The girlfriend isn't allowed to touch my Stahlwille
I experienced a failure of this type with my craftsman ratchet and now I know why. They just don't make them like they used to. Thanks again for the awesome testing.
Video suggestion- snap ring pliers.
Thanks for the video idea.
Another great video Todd!
Some video ideas:
-Comparison of lawn mower deck coatings that minimize grass clumping.
-Comparison of fabric anti-wrinkle sprays.
-Comparison of leather cleaner/protectors.
-Comparison of door deadbolts.
Lot of seniors required for the second.
Would love to see you test soldering irons!
Thanks for the suggestion.
There's people on RUclips that test soldering irons. Usually pretty high end gear though. For more modest needs focus on tip cost and availability. It's tips that'll kill you owning an iron.
@@1pcfred, the $45 Schneider 50 watt adjustable-temp soldering station sold at Harbor Freight (made by Shenzun Atten) is a clone of an older Hakko design; it has temperature-sensing feedback and uses standard 900M/T18 tips. I posted a review and teardown of it on my channel recently; its far far better than what I had to work with as a kid in the 60s and 70s. The conical tips supplied with it aren't great, but you can buy compatible "chisel" tips and other tip shapes direct from Hakko USA for $6-7 or so, and the Hakko tips fit the heating element of the Harbor Freight iron much more snuggly for better heat transfer. ( Most of the direct from China bulkpack tips, and those supplied with soldering stations, are loose, sloppy-fitting tips made of garbage metal anyway!).
I also bought the Harbor Freight 80 watt digital soldering station (a rebranded Atten ST-80) but haven't had a chance to film and post a review of it yet (I'll do so soon). It looks nicely built; they sell every day for $115 but occasionally go on sale for 20 to 25% off. It appears like it will be a lot easier to program and use than the new one-knob Hakko FX888DX which sells for $120. I'll post a review and teardown soon. I did buy some Hakko tips for it.... ps, No one on a budget should ever buy any of the red line of Weller soldering equipment. I haven't tried their $90 something digital unit sold at home depot, but the $65 analog station they sell is a piece of scrap nothing more than an electronic light dimmer (a triac waveform chopper) in a red plastic box. You can turn the temperature down to the 120VAC iron but you can't turn it up, and there's no temperature sensing feedback......
@@goodun2974 I think all the solid tip irons are obsolete at this point. I have a T12 iron with heating element tips and I like the performance. Fast heat and good soak. I have a Weller WTCPN station too and my T12 out performs it. I've drag raced them. I bend a piece of solder over each of their tips and turn them both on at the same time and see which one can melt the solder first. My T12 has a slow starting SMPS too and it can still smoke the Weller. But I doubt it'll still be working in 30 years from now. My Weller is at least that old. Still works like the day it was made.
I really wish i saw this video before i bought a Pittsburgh Kit but i learned to just find the tools i need on discounts or at yard sales. Great video!
“And the Craftsman is made in China”. I am so sad every time I hear this.
Thank you for sharing!
there are no reviews I trust more than P.Farms , Thank You again as always sir.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I broke three 3/8in. ratchets trying to remove lug nuts from a car. One I could not break was a Craftsman from the 60's or 70's I had a 5 ft to 6ft pipe on it and I was standing on the end of the pipe, bouncing my 175lbs on it. The lug nut never came off but the ratchet took it like a champ.
The 80's Craftsman broke. You can't beat the really old stuff it was made to last.
Over the years I have amassed a couple of tool kits, via gifts or necessity. I have one that moves from truck to truck, one in the house and a mobile kit to be taken to kids or friends houses. The only "kit" I have is a gifted craftsman set for the trucks. It has more than served me well.
Thanks for the feedback.
That ratchet test measuring the number of turns was something I never thought about. Brilliant!
Another Sunday, another Project Farm video. I love Sundays.
My current tools represent about 20 years of collection and I instantly recognized the Fastpro tools. I have quite a few of them randomly knocking around. The only issue I have ever had with them is that the rubber grips loosen after a while. They are a great starter pack for the price.
I pieced together my son a kit like these when he first started driving at 16 .... it amazes me that hes still got most of his tools at 28 yrs old .... we picked out some channelock, craftsman, crescent, stanley, etc.
Thanks for sharing.
The amount of testing you do and the testing techniques are just excellent. I wouldn't even have known how to begin to test such big tool sets properly.
Outstanding test procedures per usual. Your videos are on my "must watch" list. I've bought a number of products that you've tested - even though I didn't know at the time I needed something new. Please, keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Paint roller covers! I went thru about 10 different models from the top brands and it's shocking that only 2 weren't complete garbage. One of your videos could save people a lot of time and money showing which ones shed fibers like crazy and which have the best capacity and coverage
Thanks for the video idea.
The bag is actually great, because as soon as your cheap tool breaks from use, you know it’s worth getting the expensive version, and it’ll fit right in.
Thanks for the feedback.
With my oldest kid going off to college next year, this is a great video. I've been accumulating odds and ends to throw in a toolbox for him, but I think it makes sense to pick this up instead.
I would love to see you work your way up the price range with tool sets, especially mechanic's tool sets, and figure out where the sweet spot really lies.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I also would have liked to see you test tape measure accuracy, Which can sometimes be a real (unpleasant) surprise especially in cheap tape measures. @@ProjectFarm
Excited for this one as we clear out old crappy tool kits and get new ones in the garage.
Thank you for sharing!
Seems like 99% of the Chinese tools are just junk. Hope their military is the same!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your tests are so comprehensive with concepts I would not ever think about knowing.
I was in Harbor Freight the other day shopping the Doyle plier sale and was chatting with another customer and he says “ you watch Project Farm right?” I sure do!

I bought a 50$ deko set a few years ago, it's perfect to keep in the house, maybe not the best tools but im not gonna break a wrench around the house and for that price it's a great value
I found my 20 year old Walmart sets in my garage last week. The plastic was broken, but most of the tools still work. I put them in a metal tool box and still use them along with my Husky and Icon tools.
Thanks for sharing.
Not just testing the name brand products but some of the more affordable off brand ones is very informative! Kudos
Thanks!
Don’t even have to wait for the end of the video, always consistent in quality of videos, 👍🏼
Probably 10 years ago my wife bought me a big box of kobalt tools on Black Friday. I haven’t had any break or damage yet and I use it every week. So for us it has been the best purchase we have made!
Thanks for sharing.
Every year we give out several tool kits to students leaving for freshman college. They are always a surprisingly big hit. We typically pay about $35 each. These tools aren't going to get heavy-duty use, so the mix of tools is more important than the quality.
I love vintage craftsman socket. Back then they were strong tools.
Thanks for the feedback.
Been wanting to get an updated set for the house....glad I waited for this episode.
