Tbh I had a matco 3/8 flex head ratchet rebuilt 3 times in 2 months. Just didn't held up to my daily use. Plus I was peeved with getting fluids in the internals causing hydro locked. My gw has stayed consistent. Without fail. So I'll stick to my GW.
Yes I bought a couple of Matco ratchets they feel close to GW so I sold them off and kept my GW. Matco ratchet break teeth more often and the grip deteriorate faster
I personally have all of the major tool brands available at my fingertips weekly, but I honestly after watching this video can tell you, it's not because of the price maybe it's the preference of how the tools work. But I own more matco ratchets than any other brand, I do have some snap-on and I do have some gear wrench but 90% of the time I go to is matco. Coming from a 17-year veteran. But once again this is only my opinion
I love my Armstrong Maxx version
Gear wrench has become my go to ratchet by default. I don't turn a wrench professionally anymore and the cost of the snap on and matco are not worth it to me anymore.
Thanks...
I think there's a threshold where you can acquire a very good basic quality. The fact is, chromium and carbon steel are known recipes. And, the ratchet mechanism is no secret either.
Beyond that, the gains are in the margins. The practical gains (functional usefulness) - are even less.
The players call it 'product differentiation'...
90-88=4
i fix matco ratchets all the time with GR head kits same basic ratchet working off the same basic parts
Matco are great and USA made. But the gear wrench is also a good ratchet and uses the basic of the Matco ratchet and are made in Taiwan. For the money, gear wrench, for high quality in a professional environment, Matco
Johns favorite would ultimately come down to his shops tool truck brand lol. I bought gearwrench for my house just because they are so much cheaper and I don't use them for work.
@@badmechanics9697 same
Old school mechanic here, Honestly I would prefer the gearwrench, I work with a few matco drive ratchets, gotta say was not impressed, now I use a gearwrench long extension flex head locking cushion grip to remove a muffler bolt. To me, way better than the matco, plus less expensive then the Matco, but hay that's just my opinion
John (the one in the video) is a big tool geek. Personally, if If a ratchet works then I have no brand opinion lol. then again, I am not a mechanic full time, I'm an operator
Like both but the gear wrench is way to long tbh
I would suggest not putting music in the background next time. Stopped watching after 2 minutes
Of course you did he said this is a 2minute tool review. Lol
"2 minute tool reviews" yeah okay
yeah... we don't know how to read a clock
Please lose the annoying music.
90tooth to 88tooth isn’t 4teeth different. Also not 2 minutes. Really bad at math
yeah its more of a title lol. also john cant math but hes a learnin.
