    You haven't tested a ratchet until you have a cheater on it along with the other two mechanics, the car wash guy, and the guy with the clipboard pulling on it with ya. Then when it breaks the boss wants to know why the clipboard nurd has a broken nose.

      I once had to put a post from an old, discarded basketball hoop (longest cheater bar we could find, must have been 6' long) on a lug wench to break a lug nut free! I was pretty violent when that thing finally let loose.

    • @gabbermaikel
      @gabbermaikel 7 лет назад +69

      well the reason the clipboard guy had a broken nose is because when the ratchet failed someone grabbed the cheater pipe and hit the clipboard guy with it because he tought this was his chance to get back at him.

    • @Senkino5o
      @Senkino5o 5 лет назад +14

      I've had lots of sockets, some good, some better. - If you use chrome sockets on impacts - The bigger you go - the harder they fall - Cut in half then weld a foot long length of 1" pipe on a 41mm socket for reaching through threaded rods in structural steel and she'll blow up and crack at the action end and if she doesn't the 12pt teeth will wear away.
      Worst I've ever seen is a 1/4"/3/8" set of Stanley sockets - Came straight from China with no detents machined in the ratchet end - Worse than useless - Got the same set again, detents machined. - Chinese QC at its very best.

    "You give this to your son he might care." I dunno if i agree, while a better tool is better duh, heirlooms have value because of the story attached to them. If you give your son a snapoff that sat in your toolbox and never got used it doesn't really mean as much as a pos cheapo he dragged through the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and was used to break into a car when locked out. At least that's my perspective, some of the best heirlooms i've gotten where cheap shit when they where bought, but they all have a helluva story attached.

It was 3 foot long, skookum as frig, used for working on the engines used to pump petroleum from a to b. Valves bigger than v8 cylinders, with cylinders big enough to crawl in.

      jbeers1234 just what I was thinking, the last time I broke the square off like that it was a breaker bar ( Sidchrome, supposedly a premium brand here in Australia) then I destroyed another similar except this time the yoke broke. The unbranded Chinese replacment is still going strong, at least until I get a longer piece of pipe.

    • @TWX1138
      @TWX1138 7 лет назад +3

      The part which the square drive is integral-to on a breaker bar is a lot simpler in its design than it is in a ratchet. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some breaker bars use stronger materials because they don't have to do as much machining, if any, to that part.

    Back in the day I worked as a mechanic for a large logging Company. Like most shops mechanics supply the stuff up to a inch and the shop provides the big stuff. We were changing out the a bearing on a old 30 B dipstick loader. Using a 3/4 drive snapon ratchet with a cheater and bent it. When the snapon dealer came around the boss tried to warranty it. The dealer refused said we abused it. So the boss buys a new one like $650 at the time we took the bent one into the Machinist room and bent it in the little 80,000 press in fact we tied it in a knot the next week when the snapon dealer came around they took the knotted ratchet out and said that's abuse. Everyone laughed a couple months later the snapon guy made a special trip in. He had a dealer convention coming up and wanted the knotted ratchet to take with him.
    My boss a cranky old mechanic that drove a hard bargain got $650 plus the $650 for the old wrench.
    As far as tool quality goes I am at a loss. I had my shop robbed a few years ago and almost all of my tools stolen.
    I had lots of snapon but mostly in the big stuff was J.A.WILLIAMS Snapons industrial line . And craftsman.when the insurance company got done cornholing me I had maybe 10 cents on the dollar to replace 50 years of accumulation of tools anyway I couldn't afford snapon or Williams or proto I was stuck with Craftsman and harbor freight well China made Craftsman costed 3xs the harbor freight stuff for basically the same shit.
    For most professional mechanics we honestly don't need snapon tools a few specialty things but for the most part as far as hand tools putting 300 pounds of torque on a 3/8 inch ratchet is STUPID 300 POUNDS IS 3/4 DRIVE RANGE MAYBE 1/2 BUT AT CRAFTSMAN BEING 3XS THE PRICE IT'S SMARTER TO BY HARBOR FREIGHT. AND THEIR QUALITY HAS GREATLY IMPROVED RARELY DO I BREAK A TOOL IF I DO I HAVE MY BOX OF BROKE HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS WHEN IT'S FULL I TAKE THEM IN AND GET THEM REPLACED. SAME WITH CRAFTSMAN. THERE ARE CRAFTSMAN STORES EVERYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO SEARS OR LOWES.
    AS FAR AS POWER TOOLS I HAD A 1INCH DRIVE IR impact that was stolen I replAced it with a harbor freight earthquake and it's been 5+ years of use no problem . The IR was $1200+ to replace the harbor freight was $200- $300. Most mechanics get their first snapon bite when they go to a Mechanic school the dealer comes around and gives students EASY credit. That's a joke. It's like heroin mechanics overpay for tools and finance their addiction at I'm sure near loanshark rates. Don't even get me going on fucking tool boxes. $7500 for a Harley Davidson limited edition tool box ef that .

I also have a few Snap-On tools that I've picked up over the years and they're excellent too. I've been looking at the "go thru" (what I call them) socket sets lately too, I think they might come in handy, but, I'll probably buy a cheap set from Harbor Freight to try them out before pulling the trigger on a high dollar set. I do also have many Harbor Freight tools that I keep in the truck boxes and I've found that the quality is actually pretty good.
