they repeat the numbers 17, 15, 13 because there you have 2 nuts opposite each other and therefore need 2 wrenches. If you only buy 1 set, you can still loosen or tighten these sets of bolts
I have yet to order any tool grid stuff and start playing with it. But I’m already happy to hear that the other boards don’t interlock: I was planning to put them in a cabinet and then mount handles to them so I can just lift them out and take them to where I’m working.
Tub o towels and a microfiber is your friend with getting the ick off of these things new. Even then you'll leave your paw prints on their finish. No clue why.
personally if it was me i would've made the metric go opposite , smaller to larger rather than larger to smaller, next to its counter part to me it would be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Just my 2 cents, I feel like cabinets are only going to be a better bang for your buck option if you either own the business/building or it's a personal garage that you own. I would assume like 80% of mechanics or people that work with tools everyday can not have cabinets installed because they work for someone who owns the business/building and there always exists the possibility they could NOT work there in the future. Hence why the tool box is better option for the majority of people.
If you are in a situation where you know you won't be in the same location for an extended period of time, obviously a cabinet installation won't be the best option for you. However, there are people with home garages or professional shops that don't need to worry if they will still be in the same place 3 or 4 years from now. A cabinet installation works perfectly for them. Mechanics in corporate owned shops aren't the only people in the world who use tools daily.
@@ObsessedGarage oh I’m not disagreeing with the fact that a cabinet setup is probably an awesome option for the home garage. Or if you own your own shop. But how many employers do you actually think would be cool with an employee “installing” a cabinet system into a building that probably a vast majority of the business owners don’t even own. I would be willing to bet that there are more people who use tools in buildings that they have no stake in or are rented/leased than there is in buildings that are owned. Sometimes it may make sense absolutely. But I personally feel that the guy that works for a business with his toolbox, heavily outweighs the guy that thinks in his mind that they are never going to move their stuff from that place.
Cabinets will never hold up over time for someone who uses the tools. My toolbox weighs thousands of pounds gets hit with oils and solvents, not to mention the oil I put on my tools. I built custom shelving around the shop to hold the thousands of pounds of parts I hoard. They don't sell cabinets to do that, although warehouse shelving works nicely and I do have a bit of that.
Matt any reason you went with the 0 degree non ratcheting combination wrenches vs the 15 degree reversible combination ratcheting wrenches? Apart from maybe the reversible ratcheting ones having the “Flank/Skank drive plus feature” lol and the non reversible 0 degree wrenches being the standard “Flank drive”? Thanks
Matt mentioned in this video that this toolbox giveaway is open to Canada (except Quebec) and the USA? In the official rules, it states USA only. Why the change for this giveaway compared to the others in the past that were open to Canadians?
Cost 8000 and worth 8000 are two different tales . After almost 10 years using snapon tools in a professional setting I'm definitely finding all of the weak links and I'm not able to justify their insane prices anymore . So many other brands that do it better for cheaper
At around 3:25 you say it can be won in the US or Canada excluding Quebec. I got excited. I went on your website to try and buy some digital entries. It would not compleat the purchase. I checked you FAQ and it says US residents only. Thats shity dude. Got my hopes up for nothing.

A intellectual property theft company! Based of the last podcast they source them from some European reseller to skirt OG’s exclusive import rights from Pressol
Some copycats that try and sell the same products that OG markets while providing zero value to the industry. OG found pressol and brought them to the US, a copycat in the UK called Yum Cars sells them there, and now clean garage is buying them from Yum and redistributing them. They sell them for the same price as OG, you should honor the source.
I shut both of them down. I don’t think Yum Cars means to do it. He just doesn’t know any better. He uses my exact words and holds himself out as the source. He would email me looking for approval. I finally had to tell him what he was doing wasn’t cool. I guess that gave him the permission he needed to sell to the worst of American retail. Josh at The Clean Garage is the classic example of the worst outcomes of capitalism. He’s the guy that cuts in line and enjoys the fight from someone that calls him out. You can’t beat guys like that. When you lack a moral compass, it’s easy to do that.
Snap-On wrenches are way overpriced; If you want American, Williams Supercombo, Wright WrightGrip, or Proto are where I would spend my money. Heck, I would probably go to all of those before Snap-On, though the current ractchet internal design for Snap-On (Dual 80) is hard to beat mechanically - one of the few areas they actually have innovated in recent years.
Still working on my sock drawer
It’s hard to organize crusty socks.
You should do metric on one side of the drawer and SAE on the other

Awesome job Matt. I like to do metric up front with toolgrid in the drawer since most cars are all metric.
That's a great idea.
I have yet to order any tool grid stuff and start playing with it. But I’m already happy to hear that the other boards don’t interlock: I was planning to put them in a cabinet and then mount handles to them so I can just lift them out and take them to where I’m working.
Want to come organize all of mine lol. I definitely want to get the tool grid to maximize space
I’d love to see a video on keeping your tools up to spec. What cleaners, lubricants and oils you use. Etc.
Doesn’t want flank drive plus because new Porsches and BMWs aren’t rusty.

Nice job, maybe SAE wrenches on the left and Metric all on the right, same with sockets

I ordered both, but only 0 came in.

I misspoke on that fact. It's only available in the continental US.
Very very nice. Pretty cool.
I would love to see you do a milwaukee toolchest with full milwaukee sockets and wrenches and compare those to all these
Problem is he's not a everyday mechanic so his comparison is useless 😂
I'm planning on doing more comparisons.
Hello. What is the thickness on the boards
You know...that's a darn good question. I realized we don't have that dimension. I think the are 5/8" thick. I measure tomorrow.

Matt seems like he wants to run his tools through his dishwasher
Ha.. If it gets all that darn grease off of them I would.
It would better if they had default black print on the left side then you knew what each was

The wrench clips should be numbered so that you can arrange them from 1 to whatever
Ps how much is the grid plates per square foot?? And clips??

Whoever wins first, leave me the Sonic
No! You can have a Strap-on 😂😂😂😂
Am I the only person who views a tool grid drawer as a game of Tetris? I leave very little blank space haha
👍🏼
Who is the clean garage because their pressol bottles sure do look familiar.

That’s what I thought.
Some copycats that try and sell the same products that OG markets while providing zero value to the industry.

Wish OG would do the black labels as an option like they’ve talked about doing.
