New Craftsman V Series 3/8 Rachet & Socket Set
I decided to copp a Craftsman V-Series 3/8 rachet and socket set. I'm really impressed with the carrying case and the rachet is beautiful. The sockets are definitely quality and the extensions have nice quick locking/quick release slide locks. www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5KH1ZS8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1#:~:text=Submit-,Craftsman%20V%2DSERIES%20Socket%20Set%2C%20Shallow%20MM%2C%203/8%20Inch%20Drive%2C%2018%20Piece%20(CMMT45753V),-Visit%20the%20Craftsman

New 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness
Переглядів 13211 місяців тому
I was picking up parts at my local Subaru dealership, they had the brand new 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition on the lot. The OB Wilderness is everything I'm looking for in the wagon/suv segment...check it out. The 2.4l Turbo flat 4 really makes this Wilderness package very desirable. Hopefully I can set up a test drive in the near future.

I do an overview of a 2008 Volvo XC90 with the iconic 4.4l V8(B8444S-Engine). This era of Volvo vehicles offered numerous variants of engine and transmission combinations. For the last 5 years or more Volvo has been using their 2.0l in all of their vehicles, whether it's turbocharged, supercharged or both. With the big push for EV you better believe we'll never see another Volvo manufactured wi...

2008 Volvo XC90-V8 upper tail light assembly replacement and rear hatch strut replacement.
i removed mine from the expansion tank but then i could make it to seal back in, is there any trick im missing or something? do you know if an aired cooler will work good or im just having a terrible idea
One my best friends works for his brothers auto dealership as full time mechanic. I saw he has these and the overdrive ratchets and sockets etc as well as huge tool chest full. I asked him how he likes them. Said he loves them, uses them every day making ca$h!
Had to stop watching due to the camera whipping around. Suggest a tripod.
Yes, I actually have a tripod now and additional camera.
Great set of wrenches, the quality is on par with top brands. The RBRT is also nice, tho its not the full design. They removed a few theet to reduced the grip, why? Simple they cant step on the Mac flagship of wrenches. Lets be real now, i agree for the price you cant beat them. You can get the set for 60ish dollars, might be missing some sizes. Where else can you get a specialty tool at that price?
I agree.
Love this video. Getting ready to do mine on my 2017 eco boost. Very helpful thank you
I am finding now a days that there are more and more tools that are just as good as snap on but like not even close to the price of snap on, Wright tools being a current fav, but craftsman impacts are not that bad for all my diy auto mechanic stuff.
I totally agree with your statement. These Craftsman Overdrive wrenches are really nice and the price point is even better. My Snap-On combination wrenches are great and all but very expensive. Craftsman has their "V-Series" tools, which is their top tier stuff... very nice quality.
I agree with this comment
I can’t get mine to seat I’m out of ideas
Are you having trouble popping the ATF cooler back on? It's not to difficult but really tedious. You need to get underneath to help line everything up and then go back up top. Drive your BMW X3 on ramps or jack up onto jack stands, this should be helpful.
Thesnapon flankdrive plus didnt work as well on a siexed tie rod end after heating it up (siezed worse than usual) the craftsman overdrive was the only one who did it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've been quite impressed with Craftsman's new Overdrive Series combo wrenches and their OD socket set.
Tbh i never had any problems with craftsman tools. My dad never bought any chninease ones but they actuallly work well my friend uses them. In my opinion its hard to find a truly bad tool today.
Dope. Overdrive wrenches are the way to go for open ends.
Yes, I agree!
Wow that looks good bud good stat 😮talk to you soon bud ☕️
Thank you for watching my brutha!!
How much is that jump pack?
With Prime and a coupon I ended up paying $53 bucks. I added a link above the comments section for this Pop Deer jump pack.
@@strongislandautoenthusiast841 The intake manifold on that Volvo XC90 V8 is sick looking!!
The V-series tools are dope!!
I paid $69.95 on Amazon with prime and got free delivery with prime.
Nice deal.@@strongislandautoenthusiast841
Damn those are some big rotors, and this was an interesting watch! Please keep up the good work 🙏🏽
Appreciate the comment bro.
Those brake pads and brake rotors are really nice. 13" rotors are really big, wow!!
Yes these rotors are pretty big and the stopping power is great. The geomet coating works well here in the salt belt.
Thanks for the video, unfortunately most of it was below the camera view. Because it has some groves cut into the opening does NOT mean it will preform the same. If you notice the groves, spacing, and even depth of cuts, it affects the bite and how it preforms on a rounded fastner. Is it a good set for a home mechanic, probably. Just because it has some cuts into the openings does not mean it will preform at a Snap On or Mac tool level. The steel itself is no where near the same quality. Having said that, I am a Craftsman fan, grew up with them and started my career with USA made Craftsman tools. I will buy a set of both SAE and Metric just because I am happy to see the Craftsman name. Now if they could only figure out how to be profitable making them in the USA. Unfortunately the Craftsman name is forever tarnished with cheap made overseas tools.
Thank you for sharing so much feedback and my apologies for the camera view. I actually just got a new Sony ZV1F for recording videos instead of using my Samsung Z Flip 4. I have a Gopro action camera but the audio isn't the best. Appreciate you.
Good review and very nice price
You really can't beat that price.
Thanks for the video. I'm waiting for them to offer just the Overdrive sockets. Don't need all the other stuff.
The combo wrenches are sold separately at Lowes but I didn't the the sockets separately. Those sockets should work great with those teeth. I've seen the grabbing teeth on the open end but never on the box end or inside sockets. I can't believe the price...even without the Black Friday discount it's only a buck fifty.
@@shiloh5199 This is true
I don’t think they are putting those out. But a set of Mac rbrt 3/8” metric shallow sockets is like $280-300 and the deeps are around the same so for $379 you can get the whole set which goes up to 24mm in 1/2” and 1” in sae I have the wrenches already I am not inretested in the ratchets but I want the metric sockets.
121 pieces sounds great until you see 20 Allen wrenches and 30 driver bits.
Lol.
This was a nice review and the tools look beautiful, thank you again!
Appreciate the positive feedback and thank you for watching.
The Overdrive Series is really nice stuff.
Another great video review!
Thank you for watching and I appreciate the positive feedback.
Your tools 🔧 cool take care of them bud talk to you soon ☕️
Thank you for watching and these new Overdrive Series are really nice. The Overdrive Series are readily available at Lowes and Ace Hardware...the older Craftsman "Professional Series" sets we referenced in the last 2 videos were special order. If Sears had offered the Craftsman Professional Series in store I believe they would have been quite popular.
The car looks beautiful, I wonder what it'd look like in black!
It looks great in silver with the hood sticker in black.
It looks great in black but I think this silver paint really bring out the accents and decals.
Everyone wants to do the rear one coz it’s easy lol
Sweet ride!
The Outback Wilderness features a 260HP direct-injection turbocharged Subaru Boxer engine that delivers 277 pound-feet of torque @3500rpm and towing capability of 3500 pounds.
Dope!!!!!
Make a good route vehicle.
Appreciate the participation`.
The Outback Wilderness looks gorgeous!!
Thanks for the comparison. ..supposedly they are close to the mac rbrt?.. so I figured I check them out. My one hesitation is my “gun metal” or “nickel” finish has been disappointing even on a matco I got less than a year ago. If you have any updates after a few months of use let us know!
Thank you for watching and I will definitely report back after a few months of good use with these Overdrive combo wrenches.
I have yet to find any of the gun metal coatings last. It is no where the hardness of chrome. Looks great new but my Matco ratchet looks rough after just a few months of hard use.
The craftsman pro USA wrenches had been made by SK tools.
Really, I personally didn't know SK made those Craftsman Professional series back in the day.
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the manufacturing of the Craftsman Professional Series tools. I own a really good set of SK long reach ratcheting box wrenches, they are my go to set for certain situations.
They where made by many manufacturers, a reason why some where OK, other where outstanding. The most remember and highly regarded was the SK made ones.
@@andrestnt correct, Craftsman is just a tool name brand, nothing was made in a craftsman factory as they didn’t exist. Most tools got made by western forge, Pratt reed, Armstrong, sk, danaher and the apex tool group.
Very helpful, just did the installation, but i hear a minor spring noise from one side. Does it go off by itself?
I'm glad to hear that this video assisted you during your strut assembly installation. The new springs are noisy...making squeaking or something?
Did you have to get a alignment done ?
No. the front struts don't have camber adjustment, so basically we put toe back to the same spot before disassembly. If there is an issue with camber after installing new strut assembly I would purchase a Steeda Camber Plate set for the front camber adjustment Or maybe an Eibach camber kit.
Yeah these Overdrive Series Craftsman set are really nice.
Great review! I might have to pick up a set.
They are a bargain considering the quality and comparison to some competitors.
Nice!!
Thank you.
Subaru baby!!
Subaru CVT power!!
Love the Saabaru...best of both worlds!!
Good job bud 👍 looks good
Thanks bro... appreciate the support.
Nice I have 2007
They are great vehicles.
Hi. Isit easy to get parts for this engine. . Isit easy to change engine parts
I haven't had any major issues finding OEM or aftermarket parts for this motor/engine. The Volvo 4.4liter DOHC v8(B8444S) was in production from 2005-2010 and was initially offered in the Volvo XC90 then offered in the Volvo s80.
Buy it. Had mine for a month and half now, going to tell you right from the get go there is nothing you can do for mods yet for it
I actually went to that Subaru dealership to get CVT oil for my daughters 2013 Impreza hatchback but as soon as I pulled into the lot I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Costs as much as a base model WRX but with all the goodies like the Harmon Kardon sound system and moonroof.
Yes this particular example had a bunch of options, the MSRP on the RS model is $28,.975. The Impreza Base model starts at $24,085 but I think the extra $4900.00 for the RS trim is money well spent. A 2023 WRX starts at $30,605 for the manual shift model and the "Subaru Performance Transmission" or Automatic Transmission is $1850 more plus the transportation fee.
@strongislandautoenthusiast841 I traded a 2016 base impreza for a 2023 WRX Premium with HK sound and moonroof option last weekend. I would have considered the RS Impreza except no sedan and no manual. I had to put on 16 inch after market alloy wheels and upgrade to the kicker speakers with my own amplifier in the Impreza. Glad I don't have to do much to the WRX except window deflectors and foot well illumination.
@@samael1981 Congratulations on the 2023 WRX Premium model with the manual shift!! I own a 2017 WRX Premium model w/manual shift and love it. I happen to really like hatchbacks but I definitely have to have the manual shift.
Nice car looks good bud I like it 👌 👍 😀
I'm really feeling this 2024 RS, might purchase it!!
I'm loving this 2024 Subaru Impreza RS hatchback!!
Terrible video
Why use this lame vertical camera angle? It gives us a tiny little screen. If you turned your camera sideways (like it's supposed to be) we'd have full screen video. Lame.
I appreciate the suggestion...I was a total newbie with this camera at this point in time. I filmed this video back in November 2022 and I have learned a few things since then. Thank you for sharing.
RIP
Sucks.
Nice review I watched this video from damascus and i will by xc90 next month
God Damn!!
There's a parked car that flips over to the right lower corner of the screen, this moron actually hit a parked car first then spun around into that pole. Shouldn't drive 75mph on a residential street while being a dumbass!!
Very helpful
That's what's up!!
