Did you know this? Update already lol the chevron company is not the correct company it is the Chervon tool company so I was wrong about the company name so that may explain why i couldn't find any tools sales data 😂. Thanks for pointing that out I'm sure there will be more to come.
Hey can you do a review of metal cutting circular saw blades, that work with regular everyday miter saws? Cause with you honest reviews I know I can get similar results. Hope this channel keeps growing!
Love this video. However, the TTI company you said was headquartered in Fort Worth is a different TTI than the one that makes power tools. The TTI power tool company is headquartered in China (Hong Kong). The TTI company in Fort Worth is a distributor of electronic components and services the defense industry and was founded in 1971. Just wanted to clarify
This is you best video yet. Thanks for trying to make quality videos. I'm a 25 yr auto/diesel tech and my favorite tool brand is Snap -on because for whatever reason they are the only brand that consistently has tool trucks in my area of Florida.
I wish I knew how they stay in business all I've heard is how they make their too trucks sell so many boxes every month. But snapon trucks never seen to go out of business. I have a friend who sells matco tools and matco send to rob it's employee's.
I like DeWalt, I started my cordless tool collection years ago with them and they are good tools and I owned 10 of them, 8 old Ni-Cad 18-volt ones that I owned for a long time and that never gave me any problems with 4 batteries and right when they came out I bought 2 new Lithium-Ion post style ones with 3 batteries but after they all got stolen I ended going with Ridgid tools and I like them, they are affordable and I would consider them fairley professional as I have never have had one break down on me and at this time cordless tools had become more mainstream so I had 17 if you include my 2 extra JobMax heads and 9 - 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries. Then thru a promotional program I was in I got some Milwaukee M18 FUEL tools for free and more importantly I got 5 M18 5.0amp Milwaukee batteries for free and as we all know batteries are one of the most expensive costs when breaking into a new tool line so after that I started buying up Milwaukee tools a few years ago in addition to getting a few more for free. Now I still own 15 Ridgid 18-Volt tools and 7 batteries, I got rid of some of the older ones once I started getting Milwaukee tools and as of right now I have 20 Milwaukee M18 FUEL tools and 11 batteries and 2 Milwaukee M12 FUEL tools and 2 batteries. So I guess I'd say my favorite power tool brands are Ridgid and my favorite power tool brand is Milwaukee, go team RED!!! Milwaukee is also starting to make some good hand tools and i own quite a few of them. Also I'd like to say that in addition to smaller tools like my Ridgid Hanmer Drill and Milwaukee M18 FUEL Surge Impulse Driver, which I freaking love and cordless tools where they are starting to diversify like lights and fans and yard equipment, I have a Milwaukee M18 FUEL String trimmer, blower and even 16" chaninsaw which by the way are a hell of a lot nicer than 2 stroke gas powered yard equipment no mixing damn gas and pulling the pull cord and servicing the damn things, you just pop in a battery and go and in addition to my small tools I have big tools like the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL ONE-KEY 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 8-1/4 in. Table Saw Kit W/ (1) 12.0Ah Battery & Rapid Charger both of which I love and have plenty of power to get the job done between these new Brushless motors and high amp Lithium-Ion batteries plus I have some specialty tools as well such as a Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Drain Snake Auger with 5/16 in. And 3/8 in. Cable Drive Kit w/ Free 5.0Ah Battery. The point I'm trying to make here with all this is that when I bought my first 18-Volt cordless DeWalt Ni-Cad tools a little less than 20 years ago air tools still ruled the shops and corded tools ruled the jobsites, granted I could get by with all but the biggest corded and air tools with my DeWalt 18-Volt Ni-Cad and 4 batteries. Now with the Brushless motors and higher amp Lithium-Ion batteries and new cordless technology that keeps coming out cordless tools are the wave of the future and it seems like all but the biggest corded tools and air tools won't be around for long now and change is good, I love not being tied down to a cord or an air hose that I'm tripping over all the time!😜👍Also great video by the way I really enjoyed it, it's really informative to see what conglomerates actually own which tool brands!
I saw something similar not too long ago and I knew most were connected but seeing in a chart really puts it into perspective. Appreciate the video as always. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good Video thanks for all the information BTW I am a retired Woodworker and have always done almost all my own Automotive and Mechanical repairs as well. I have 2 Buddies that are brothers and A.S.E. Certified mechanics that own and operate a Independent Automotive/ repair and Speed Shop i used to have fun teasing them that my Stanley Brand Ratchets and Sockets i bought at Walmart made their Tool truck tools for a fraction of the price they paid for their tools And in all honesty i personally liked the fit and finish of the Stanley Ones
pro tool reviews just did a video on this a couple weeks back. i did a bit of research back when i was still wrenching when i started noticing the rebranding across trucks of lisle tools. then i noticed it even more after the research. here's the skinny of what i found out, a lisle brand tool on the cornwell truck has a markup, but mostly cuz that guy probly paid retail for it and he's a small business. a rebranded lisle tool on a mac truck, branded as mac, is even more expensive, but came 'straight from mac' if you're drinking the kool aid. and the same one on the snappy truck, well, you know you're paying triple for that logo. then you go to the parts house and pick up the lisle for the retail price, which is about 40% cheaper than cornwell, and it's the same damn tool. case in point, my napa purchased, gearwrench branded, serpentine belt tool that was 30 bucks in store, identical to the matco in every way, aside from branding, but matco wanted 65 for it. once i learned that dirty little secret if i saw something in a truck catalog i liked, i researched it down to it's OE manufacturer and bought that version, usually saved myself at least 50 to 60% off the truck price, and had bragging rights over the poor saps who sold their souls to the trucks. that's when i found out about alot of this who owns who stuff. when the guys at work would pick up their dewalts and bash my black and deckers i'd just grin. knowing full well under the plastic they're the same damn thing. the guy in debt to the mac truck that hated stanley tools...what a joker. at any rate once you know things like this favorite tool brands become something of a wash. my favorites now are what gets the job done as easily as possible for as little money as possible without being junk. that last bit though is a bit personal. what's a quality tool in my hands under my technique and tool care might end up being a pile of shit in the next guy's hand with no technique and tosses his shit in a bucket at the end of the night, sledgehammers last, not giving a shit, then blames the tool for it breaking. anyway brother, fantastic video, i think i've ranted long enough. i think cornwell should be on your list for a history or overview video. old blue don't get enough love if you ask me. they were the best and most honest truck i had when i was swingin wrenches.
I agree with you in a lot of areas man. You're right I should have mentioned Cornwell I thought about it afterwards. I want quality but not enough to send me to the poor house lol. You just have to find a balance and like you said search for the original manufacturer's which can save you some money. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience brother.
Great comment bro, that hilarious about the guy who said he hates Stanley but owns a bunch of MAC stuff, does he seriously not know that MAC is owned by the Stanley Black & Decker corporation?! I totally know what you mean about rebranding it's totally ridiculous, I see it happen all the time and what really pisses me off is, especially the tool truck guys, when they either don't realize it or just think shit is better because their name is on it. I remember when I was painting professionally and I owned a top of the line Sata Jet RP Digital 2 paint gun and the Snap-On guy comes in and tells me when I'm tired of using that piece of shit he can sell me a real paint gun, a rebranded DeVilbiss which isn't a bad brand but no where near as good as Sata. I told him are you serious bro do you assume your gun is better than mine because it says Snap-On on the side of it?! First off you come in here not even knowing what kind of paint gun I have and then tell me it's a piece of shit and then on top of that tell me to come buy a paint gun from you after what you just said and the way you acted, do you even know what kind of paint gun I have or even what kind of paint gun you have for that matter? Dude you sell mechanics tools and you just barely got a paint gun for the first time and think it's the best thing ever since it says Snap-On on it, do you actually even know anything about your paint gun besides that it has a Snap-On logo on the side of it because if you did then you'd know that it's a re-branded DeVilbiss and that it can't even compare to my "piece of shit" Sata paint gun so maybe not only don't come in and call my paint gun a piece of shit when you don't know anything about it or even what brand it is and more importantly why don't you do a little research your own product so that you'll know it wasn't even made by Snap-On since Snap-On doesn't even make paint guns, so why don't you get out your DeVilbiss oh I'm sorry I mean Snap-On paint gun and we can put it up against my Sata and find out if it's a piece of shit like you claim! Don't come in here again and tell me my stuff is a piece of shit because it doesn't say Snap-On on it, now unless you want to put your gun up against my Sata instead of just telling me it's a piece of shit why don't you take your DeVilbiss paint gun back to your truck but first if you want I can make a little DeVilbiss logo for it to stick over the Snap-On one! So I totally hear you about re-branded! But please don't confuse re-branding, aka the same company making the same tool and putting a different name on it and selling it to different companies, like calling a Black and Decker the same as a DeWalt, that would be like me saying a Ryobi tool is the same as my Milwaukee because they are both made by TTI. There is a difference when a company re-brands tools then there is when they make the same type of tools with different brand names for their own company that are in fact different from each other and not the exact same tool with a different name. Re-branded tools look just like each other only have a different name on them, if you look at a Black and Decker tool there's a reason it doesn't look exactly the same as DeWalt tool that's because they aren't, just like a Ryobi tool doesn't look exactly the same as a Milwaukee tool. Granted they do share the same parent company so they will probably share some similarities and technology since they are both made by the same company but they are not the exact same tools with the exact same parts. An example of that would be Ridgid an AEG tools now they are the exact same tool under the plastic as each other because they are actually re-branded tools not a different brand of tool made by the same company, thats why they actually look exactly the same except for the name logo.
Sick ass intro brother!!!! I’m so glad I found your channel early on and have got to watch it and you really grow into something great!!! Thank you for awesome videos!! 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘
I like Harbor freight for a variety of reasons but one of which is not power tools.... I did a video testimonial covering what power tools I felt were best for particular situations and Harbor freight Power tools was one of the ones I put in the first category which was the homeowner..... it is good to note that while a particular company may manufacture A few different tool brands they are not all the same in quality.... for example: TTI owns both Milwaukee and Ryobi however Milwaukee is a professional grade contractor type tool while Ryobi is geared for the homeowner/DIYer... it all boils down to the components used to make the tools.... just wanted to point out a couple of things....Great video very informative
I have learned over the years that most of the tools I own are all equally valuable and dependable. Most recognizable tool brands are well made and well warrantied. I have gearwrench ratcheting wrenches older than my kids, Harbor Freight wrenches from 2 decades ago, and sockets from Craftsman older than my deceased father. I also own some Williams branded Snap On products that I love but they all do the same exact job and never (barely ever) let me down. I hear people talking about tools breaking on them all the time and I just don’t understand what they would be doing differently than me. I think in 20 years I have stripped 1 Stanley ratchet and broke a couple of sockets. And I will honestly admit that I was probably abusing them. It really comes down to personal choice and the price your willing to pay to be loyal to a brand. I own several brands of wrenches (Gearwrench, Tekton, Craftsman, Channellock, Husky and Kobalt) and the absolute only bad wrench I ever used was a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh extra long 10mm that stripped everything it touched. But my Pittsburgh sockets and ratchets have earned their space and get more abuse then my Williams set. I am a fan of “tried and tested” and not so much a name. I have recently started purchasing Tekton tools because I believe the company stands tall for their customers and their warranty. But I also own certain tools that I treat like jewelry (Wright 3430 ratchet) and swear it’s the most beautiful thing in the world🤪.
TTI actually makes the orange Ridgid tools and Chevron makes Kobalt 24v tools. And Emerson does make the red Ridgid tools including the hand tools and the shop vacs.
Chevron is not part of Chevron Oil. It is actually CHERVON Trading Company of China. They bought the Skil brand which was formerly owned by BOSCH. They are tightly associated with BOSCH. RIGID power tools is part of TTI.
Pretty sure TTI has ridgid as ridgid is also sold at "direct tools outlet" which is a TTI owned retail outlet store. Also ryobi oscillating multitool markets they accept ridgid heads
Great video!!! thx... question- I invented The sprinkler eater which is in the weed eater family and I was wondering if you knew a manufacture that builds weed eaters? I'm having a hard time finding them, I need to get one to find out my cost for my prototype ?? thx a lot!!!!!
10:05 Chevron the oil and gas company appears to be unrelated to Chervon the tool company whose name has a different spelling. And as other commenters have noted, this video is confused about TTI also.
I've watched a few of these, 'company' vids, but still find them incomplete. In Canada, we have outfits like Canadian Tire who sell Mastercraft, I've always thought them to be the same quality as the older Craftsman tools, but they don't show up here. The other tool I never see on these videos, is WEN. I have an air cleaner, planer, and jointer, they run like a top, and I have seen many expert carpenters with WEN drill-presses in their shops. These videos do one thing that I like. I have quite a few Ryobi tools in my shop, I'm a hobbyist, and I do not use my tools to earn my wages. I got tired of the anti-Ryobi crap on RUclips and elsewhwere, and I know from personal usage, that there is nothing wrong with them. Barring Makita, when I learned a couple of years back that there were a couple of places making many of the lines, side by side, it was nice to know that Milwuakee, Dewalt, and yes Ryobi amongst others, were made in close proximity by the same groups of people.
Good video!!! I knew probably 75% of what you found out, just didn't know all the particulars... The one thing you didn't mention, even though companies have been bought out, in most cases the tools are still made in the same location, by most of the same people. So most are still of the same quality. Harbor Freight will be a good one to see who is making what... I figure they're like Craftsman used to be, Sears would publish their specs and put it out to bid, on a fairly long term contract.....hence some of the subtle changes every now and then. One thing we all know, a lot of tools are made overseas.... Some of the best, many years ago, we're made in Japan. (Taiwan and China we're litteraly junk back then) Don't see much from Taiwan.... And China has improved a LOT, now making some of the better tools on the market. Now, get your homework on Harbor Freight done!! I want to see who's making their stuff!!!😎
Do you ever know the greenfield brand of tools? Its locally sold here in my country, Philippines and it says the tools are made or designed in the USA? I cant even access their website and have even an address in CA, USA? But I dunno if that brand is existing in the US?
Ridgid as in the orange power tools a the Depot are rebranded AEG tools from TTI, Ridgid Leases its name in North America only to TTI to be a Home Depot exclusive, everywhere they are AEG. Real Ridgid tools are red.
Ridgid name are still owned by Emerson, and leased TTI for distribution.. the result of that lease agreement, is that TTI makes the tools, and they use the AEG platform
@@andreasshizas5977 Emerson's Ridgid still sells tools at Home Depot, pipe threaders, inspection Scopes to go down drains, huge pipe wrenches, and the like...
Also no affiliation with the ridgid brand of tools that are usa made and fantastic, the ridge tool company makes them and licensed the name to tti for the ridgid tools u see at the depot.
this might come off a little dumb but i’m a broke 18 year old, so i’ve noticed the williams tools are exponentially cheaper than snap on and as an aspiring auto body tech are they of the same quality
Thanks for another great video! My favorite tool brand now is Carlyle, since the Snap On account was paid off in 2016, and that bastard stop coming around the shop. sucks for him, I have three Napa stores within a 15 mile radius from the shop...
A plumber friend has moved out of ridgid tools after trying to use that " lifetime service agreement". What a joke. The Bosch and others 3 year is better because they will take care of you.
Rigid is not a warranty. That term may cause issue among viewers expecting something they won't receive. It's a service agreement Rigid tries very hard not to honor.
HF is slowly taking over For better or worse- Stores all over, and the Snap On comparisons throughout there lines. The big truck brands are slowly loosing market share due to price point Today you buy right off Amazon or EBay What you had limited availability for, 30 years ago. Technology has changed the game as we know it What will it be like in another 30 years?
In a few years Chinese tools will be both good and cheap,some of them already are,so what if they destroy their land,water and air in the process.All corporations di that more or less.

Hey can you do a review of metal cutting circular saw blades, that work with regular everyday miter saws? Cause with you honest reviews I know I can get similar results. Hope this channel keeps growing!
Ideal is killing it and has made an effort to make all their tools in the US.
I agree with you Red after researching a little more I think I'll make an effort to buy more of their tools to help support their company.
I would gladly do the same. Maybe a video dedicated to what they offer? Maybe a video from both of you?
I agree one of my favorites by far
Yeah i love these guys. Not cheap though
@@InvincibleExtremes because American workers don’t get paid a dollar a day like in Liar Red China 🇨🇳

Sounds like dude is doing a class presentation
Thanks good job, great info. I have my dad's SK tools he used in the coal mines in the fifties, and up till he retired. They still look new.
Just bumped into your channel. Great video and appreciate what you do. Thanks man!
Awesome video dude. I use Snap-On, Mac, Craftsman, Cornwell, and yes, Pittsburg impact sockets from HF.
Man i really enjoyed watching this and learning. This is my favorite youtube channel. Keep up the great work brother!
Thank you brother!
This is you best video yet. Thanks for trying to make quality videos. I'm a 25 yr auto/diesel tech and my favorite tool brand is Snap -on because for whatever reason they are the only brand that consistently has tool trucks in my area of Florida.

An example of that would be Ridgid an AEG tools now they are the exact same tool under the plastic as each other because they are actually re-branded tools not a different brand of tool made by the same company, thats why they actually look exactly the same except for the name logo.
Great video man
You named the wrong TTI. TTI(Techtronic Industries) was founded in Hong Kong, China. Their headquarter is in Hong Kong.
thanks for this info keep them coming thanks
Very interesting...Thanks for the Info!!!
No problem. Thanks for watching Eric!
Sick ass intro brother!!!! I’m so glad I found your channel early on and have got to watch it and you really grow into something great!!! Thank you for awesome videos!! 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘
Thanks again Corey you are the man!
Intro is wicked and always bro
Great video I learned a ton from this video
Thanks for watching Steve!
Thank's for the information
good LORD dude. AUDIO BALLANCE. Nearly blew my ears out on that intro!
I like Harbor freight for a variety of reasons but one of which is not power tools.... I did a video testimonial covering what power tools I felt were best for particular situations and Harbor freight Power tools was one of the ones I put in the first category which was the homeowner..... it is good to note that while a particular company may manufacture A few different tool brands they are not all the same in quality.... for example: TTI owns both Milwaukee and Ryobi however Milwaukee is a professional grade contractor type tool while Ryobi is geared for the homeowner/DIYer... it all boils down to the components used to make the tools.... just wanted to point out a couple of things....Great video very informative
I agree with you Rich. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I was curious about Delta. I may have missed a listing. They various lines of different levels of quality, and I would like to know more about them.
my favorite tool brand is milwaukee and I also like snap on tools but can't afford them😅 I'm getting to like icon too👍to ur video.
I have learned over the years that most of the tools I own are all equally valuable and dependable. Most recognizable tool brands are well made and well warrantied. I have gearwrench ratcheting wrenches older than my kids, Harbor Freight wrenches from 2 decades ago, and sockets from Craftsman older than my deceased father. I also own some Williams branded Snap On products that I love but they all do the same exact job and never (barely ever) let me down. I hear people talking about tools breaking on them all the time and I just don’t understand what they would be doing differently than me. I think in 20 years I have stripped 1 Stanley ratchet and broke a couple of sockets. And I will honestly admit that I was probably abusing them. It really comes down to personal choice and the price your willing to pay to be loyal to a brand. I own several brands of wrenches (Gearwrench, Tekton, Craftsman, Channellock, Husky and Kobalt) and the absolute only bad wrench I ever used was a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh extra long 10mm that stripped everything it touched. But my Pittsburgh sockets and ratchets have earned their space and get more abuse then my Williams set. I am a fan of “tried and tested” and not so much a name. I have recently started purchasing Tekton tools because I believe the company stands tall for their customers and their warranty. But I also own certain tools that I treat like jewelry (Wright 3430 ratchet) and swear it’s the most beautiful thing in the world🤪.
I agree with you brother
Good video bro!
Great video brother
TTI actually makes the orange Ridgid tools and Chevron makes Kobalt 24v tools. And Emerson does make the red Ridgid tools including the hand tools and the shop vacs.
Chevron is not part of Chevron Oil. It is actually CHERVON Trading Company of China. They bought the Skil brand which was formerly owned by BOSCH. They are tightly associated with BOSCH. RIGID power tools is part of TTI.
Bro... Broooo this was your best video yet you have come a long way and fast man keep up the good work you are going places.
I appreciate it brother!
Pretty sure TTI has ridgid as ridgid is also sold at "direct tools outlet" which is a TTI owned retail outlet store. Also ryobi oscillating multitool markets they accept ridgid heads
Great video!!! thx... question- I invented The sprinkler eater which is in the weed eater family and I was wondering if you knew a manufacture that builds weed eaters? I'm having a hard time finding them, I need to get one to find out my cost for my prototype ?? thx a lot!!!!!
10:05 Chevron the oil and gas company appears to be unrelated to Chervon the tool company whose name has a different spelling. And as other commenters have noted, this video is confused about TTI also.
I've watched a few of these, 'company' vids, but still find them incomplete. In Canada, we have outfits like Canadian Tire who sell Mastercraft, I've always thought them to be the same quality as the older Craftsman tools, but they don't show up here. The other tool I never see on these videos, is WEN. I have an air cleaner, planer, and jointer, they run like a top, and I have seen many expert carpenters with WEN drill-presses in their shops.
These videos do one thing that I like. I have quite a few Ryobi tools in my shop, I'm a hobbyist, and I do not use my tools to earn my wages. I got tired of the anti-Ryobi crap on RUclips and elsewhwere, and I know from personal usage, that there is nothing wrong with them. Barring Makita, when I learned a couple of years back that there were a couple of places making many of the lines, side by side, it was nice to know that Milwuakee, Dewalt, and yes Ryobi amongst others, were made in close proximity by the same groups of people.
OMG 💘💘💘 GREAT VIDEO!!!
Good video!!!
I knew probably 75% of what you found out, just didn't know all the particulars...
The one thing you didn't mention, even though companies have been bought out, in most cases the tools are still made in the same location, by most of the same people. So most are still of the same quality.
Harbor Freight will be a good one to see who is making what...
I figure they're like Craftsman used to be, Sears would publish their specs and put it out to bid, on a fairly long term contract.....hence some of the subtle changes every now and then.
One thing we all know, a lot of tools are made overseas....
Some of the best, many years ago, we're made in Japan. (Taiwan and China we're litteraly junk back then)
Don't see much from Taiwan....
And China has improved a LOT, now making some of the better tools on the market.
Now, get your homework on Harbor Freight done!! I want to see who's making their stuff!!!😎
I'm on it Ed!
@@RedemptionGarage good!! LOL.
Thank you 😎😁
Good job on this video. It looks and sounds like you’ve stepped your game up. I enjoyed this video!
Thanks a lot Lee I really appreciate it.
qc is everything. every 5th or 6th thing from harbor freight is a snapon tier. just got to break it and come bacl for another enough times
Good video brother
Feeling the Video brother . What’s up with Cornwell
I like snap on because of the scan tools they produce,in my opinion they are the best,thx
I agree with you on the scan tools George I owned the Snap on Verus and it is a powerful machine.
Cool and nice video
I interested in seeing where Kolbalt and Husky get their tools made.
My favorite hand tools are craftsman tools which in my opinion will outperform the tool trucks also there price is great.
Do you ever know the greenfield brand of tools? Its locally sold here in my country, Philippines and it says the tools are made or designed in the USA? I cant even access their website and have even an address in CA, USA? But I dunno if that brand is existing in the US?
what about Festool?
Ridgid as in the orange power tools a the Depot are rebranded AEG tools from TTI, Ridgid Leases its name in North America only to TTI to be a Home Depot exclusive, everywhere they are AEG.
Real Ridgid tools are red.
Ridgid name are still owned by Emerson, and leased TTI for distribution.. the result of that lease agreement, is that TTI makes the tools, and they use the AEG platform
@@andreasshizas5977 Emerson's Ridgid still sells tools at Home Depot, pipe threaders, inspection Scopes to go down drains, huge pipe wrenches, and the like...
@@thetruth5210 I was referring to the cordless power tools and the power tool line, sorry about that I should have been more explicit
Thanks for clearing that up fellas
Also no affiliation with the ridgid brand of tools that are usa made and fantastic, the ridge tool company makes them and licensed the name to tti for the ridgid tools u see at the depot.
Nice to know makita is an independent company. Makita all the way
Love the thumbnail
this might come off a little dumb but i’m a broke 18 year old, so i’ve noticed the williams tools are exponentially cheaper than snap on and as an aspiring auto body tech are they of the same quality
They are good quality i own some and have had luck with them. They are of similar quality. Thanks for watching
I thought Dremel was an independent company...Learn something new every day
Doesn’t Snap-On own Blue Point or are they just the same thing
Makita and Hilti are both independent and very good quality.
Man there is alot of tools out there didn't know that many people make tools also. Need.to make me a tool.
Also STIHL, Husqvarna, Wurth, Levrat, Desgranges, Wera, Wiha etc. from Europe
NOTE: Chevron doesn't manufacture any tools. However, Chervon does. Notice the spelling...two different companies.
Just noticed your pinned correction...sorry!!
Stanley also owns cub cadet now
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info and like always for watching brother
For power tools I use Makita, for hand tools TEKTON. Haven't been let down yet.
what about rockwell?
You missed Cornwall
Thanks for another great video! My favorite tool brand now is Carlyle, since the Snap On account was paid off in 2016, and that bastard stop coming around the shop. sucks for him, I have three Napa stores within a 15 mile radius from the shop...
A plumber friend has moved out of ridgid tools after trying to use that " lifetime service agreement". What a joke. The Bosch and others 3 year is better because they will take care of you.
Service agreement not warranty. Ridgid warranty is 3 years I think with a marketing gimmick.
Snap-On has it the easiest. They only have to sell 13 tools a year
Who makes Tekton?
8:13 has a photo of everything
My favourite powertool
1. Milwaukee (Asia)
2. DeWalt
3. Bosch
4. Dong Cheng
5. Makita
6. Ingco
7. Xcort
The s in Illinois is silent
But you pronounce both s's in Des Plaines (Illinois). Go figure!
Where is cornwell?
What about klien and chanrlock.
Thank you for the video. I believe, I learned a lot that I had not known before.
Again thank you
George Ferlazzo
Rigid is not a warranty. That term may cause issue among viewers expecting something they won't receive. It's a service agreement Rigid tries very hard not to honor.
this guy reminds me of the dudes that hang outside of convenient stores smoking cigarettes hitting on under age girls
why can't you guys who the video's make the sound all the same level?
What about wera
Volkwagen owns Lamborghini, doesn't make your Jetta worth $250k
you discovered america bravo,do you know who owns your bank and where you keep your money?
HF is slowly taking over
For better or worse-
Stores all over, and the Snap On comparisons throughout there lines.
The big truck brands are slowly loosing market share due to price point
Today you buy right off Amazon or EBay
What you had limited availability for, 30 years ago. Technology has changed the game as we know it
What will it be like in another 30 years?
Its interesting thats for sure.
In a few years Chinese tools will be both good and cheap,some of them already are,so what if they destroy their land,water and air in the process.All corporations di that more or less.
A very American prospective here.
I wonder if this implies to companies who produce vibrators.
Sonic Tools are some of the best quality
I never known 70% of this Brands... Maybe its the reason im from Germany
Strong sothern accent
Chevon is NOT Chevron
If you are going to correct someone get it right. It isn't "Chevon" either. It is Chervon with the r before the v.
Lippro,Tekiro,Grip on, prohex..dll😅🇮🇩🇮🇩
Wright tools co.
👍
Ahhhhh yes the illusion of choice .
Dude, you don't pronounce the S in Illinois!!!
