- Drag Race: Fun with 10mm Ratcheting Wrenches. Wera Joker, Snap On, Gearwrench., Husky There are so many good choices, but the drag from the mechanism might be the deciding factor.
On Amazon:
Wera 10mm ratcheting flat: amzn.to/3DDK1jZ
Wera 10mm ratcheting reversible: amzn.to/3U5YPih
Gearwrench ratcheting 10mm flat: amzn.to/3U5CDVy
I tried myself a few of these at a shop recently before choosing a set of Facom. If its made in Taiwan its made in one of two factories but I too learned that even same factory means they can have different specs, the good ones probably have ceramic bearings and feel smoother and lighter. Thanks for the video!
Are you happy with facom?
What’s your opinion?
@@joaomiranda8245 yes they are smooth mechanism and a bit more slim than comparable ones. Also lifetime replaceable warranty.
@@gplusgplus2286 thanks my friend 👍
Hy What is the name of the company where facom 467b is manufactured in Taiwan? I bought the Usag 285ka model which is the same as the Falcom 467b and i think manufactured in the same factory
They call that 'back drag' in many circles. Often It's an enormous pita.
Can't speak for their ratcheting box ends, but Koken ratchets have extremely low back drag... they're a real pleasure to use; one of the best kept secrets out there. Could go on...
The term “back drag” annoys me simply because there’s no front drag so theoretically it just be drag. Lol
Nice video! I just finished doing these exact tests with a DLC coated ratchet I designed...crazy to see you doing it here!
So long as the back drag is not so heavy that I can't turn the nut with my fingers I don't think it is an issue at all. Once the wrench quits loosening I am going to finish the job with my fingers anyway. It's just faster with my fingers.
Ce qui est important s'agissant de cliquet est l'angle de reprise (nombre de dents/ °) et la robustesse (Nm).
Attention : la longueur et le poids de la clé Snap-On sont plus importants !
@@htr5372 Try to keep your seriousness.
At least with the snap-ons, once back-drag is a concern the fastener is easily finger-tight. I don't think it would be a concern as often as ratchets, which (with extensions) more often get into areas where fingers can't reach.
I use ATF to keep the mechanism lubricated
I think that mainly happens because the weight an the balance of the tool
3:55 how does fewer teeth mean less back drag? The contact on the teeth is bigger
I figure it is the room for acceleration. Two larger speed bumps is less effective at slowing the mechanism compared to 36 small ones.
I've found that the Wera ratchets are not consistent. Some have very little back drag and others have quite a bit.
To a varying degrees, I'm sure thats true of all mfg's... even specimens of the same make/model sampled from the same production run.
In Europe we have some lovely brands, some recent additions towards automotive like Unior 161/2 thank me later😂
All of these will loosen up after they’ve taken a few cars apart.
can you compare these to the bosch 0 degree ratcheting set? i just bought it, and i love them
‘Back drag’
First world issues! 😁 The issue you have shown is a piece of cake. The real issue appears when the screw is rotating and you can not screw the nut in or out, and your hands are too short to hold the screw solid on the other side of the wall or sth. Then you need another person to complete the job, just because of one stubborn screw and nut "friendship".
You do some neat tests on tools doc.
And unlike torque test channel.. you get to the tests.. and 2 minutes in.. we’re in the middle of what’s to come.. no bs.. no retesting a billion other things.. just testing
Must be tough not having 20 minutes out of your whole day to sit down, relax, and watch a diligent channel thoroughly test tools for the rest of us.
@@Jay_Ira all those videos of added bs.. adds up… we don’t care about the sponsors.. we don’t care about watching you redo tests… you have a graph already… the rambling… yeah.. it all adds up video after video.. and when your trying to find some piece of information on the spot.. yeah… that’s the worse
I still have my set of original pattern reversible Snap-on ratcheting combination wrenches and only use the open end with the flank drive because the gear end has a design flaw. The retainer for the gear mechanism is weak and if dropped or if the wrench is placed on a fastener anything but flush and then any force used, it would just fly apart. When they came out, Snap-on was playing catch up to Gear Wrench and they rushed them to market too quick. Beautiful wrenches as they are nice and long, but totally unreliable.
The problem with Wera is the grease they use. I don't know what it is, but I had to leave mine in a cup of ATF over night and the problem went away. It has a similar design and number of teeth as the Snap On (80) so I see no other differences other than maybe length stopping them from producing similar results.
Mix up some 50/50, that's equal parts ATF and acetone.
Penetrates much faster.
Try the Bosch professional ratcheting spanners. They have they have a toothless ratcheting mechanism
Backdrag in combination with lubing. Both have a large impact on how far it'll go.
Hey there Snap on rep; cause that is what you are I've come to realize.... You never use Proto or SK made in the US of A you always pimp the over priced truck tools. Hows about you do some real comparisons instead of trying to make a sale?Just a thought "Doc".
The real race with 10mm tools, is how little time it takes to lose anything thats 10mm.
Would the weight of the wrench be a factor in that test?
for the drop test maybe, but not on the actual back drag tests.
you forgot one, the best one, gearless
Do you know if gearless is as durable as tooth versions?
Hello again Doc
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I'm still catching up on watching the videos. It's all good 👍 Again thank you
👍
Nice race. The wera ratchets always have a little more resistance, but they are very durable and can handle more torque. I have a set from bahco with very fine mechanics and low resistance like the snap-on.
dammit, I you're makin it difficult to Wera fanboy😅
simple yet informative - thanks for another chill vid, Doc
