New blade in the craftsman.That's pretty easy to see.
I've had those sockets jump. They have too much tolerance. Just loose, like it's 1/2 size too big
@@FirearmNation interesting. I haven’t had that issue but that’s crazy! They must’ve had some QC issues with these. Thanks for the comment.
How did the orange deko toolkit perform?
The deko toolkit is still to this day Performing nicely! BUT customer service sucks. You can’t completely abuse the kit but it takes a nice beating and works well
@@themaintenanceman1 ty for the hasty reply.
@@diogenesstudent5585 not a problem. Thanks for reaching out and asking a question. Much appreciated 👍
“R+P” is for “Runtime plus Performance.” All Craftsman R+P tools are brushless for more power and better efficiency versus older brushed tools.
I’ll like the lineup A lot! Thanks for the info on the R+P. I did not know that. Much appreciated! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
A lot of those really are rebadged DeWALTs… usually an older generation though. I expect that SDS Plus rotary hammer to be equivalent to a DCH033 or DCH133 just like the CMCF940 was a DCF899, CMCL090 was a DCL045, etc. The internal differences usually come down to the LED, the battery terminals, and the programming (only the DeWALT hood light can turn off one side, for example). Stick with the Craftsman Brushless R+P line. It’s the good stuff.
@@emmettturner9452 I know it’s all owned by Stanley black and decker that’s why they are so much alike. I agree the r+p line is solid and they have turned that brand into the ryobi of Lowe’s with the battery deals and stuff. I’m excited for the future of the lineup. Thanks for watching and commenting and sharing some info into the lineup. It’s much appreciated 🤜🤛
On sale for $14.99 this week and a good deal.
You got pretty soft hands for a handyman son ! 😜
@@timj1196 haha your mom likes them lol
I love the telescoping 3/8 / 1/4 ratchet Pittsburg makes. I’ve used it professionally for years and have had to warranty it twice for getting stuck in the collapsed position and breaking off the 1/4 drive from abusing it. But for the price it’s worth its weight in gold.
@@user-bn3gy5wl2r those are super handy ratchets to have. I have a Stanley version I use to work on my own stuff. I’ve definitely have put some cheater pipes on it. It’s a 3/8 but I’ve been lucky and I also don’t use it everyday like you do. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience and thanks for watching!
Fun fact. Even though Europe uses metric, their ratchets are still 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive.
I went through two 3/8 craftsman ratchets in a week. You put any umph behind it and it breaks.
@@tjmone74 I have some of those craftsman evolv ratchets from years ago that have held up great all these years but the new ones imo stink and I’m not sure the v series is worth the money. But some people swear by the new craftsman ratchets. Sorry to hear about the bad experience. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
Great job 👍
@@mikestewart2409 thanks Mike! I appreciate you watching and commenting! It means a lot 👍🤜🤛
I just scored one of these at an estate sale for 6 bucks. Probably only used once.

Hey. If you take the filter part off of the hose part that goes in the bucket, you can hook a water hose to it. It works
@@debraperkins2033 yup. It works great like that also. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
I have a question about Black and Decker Swivel Drill. I have a friend who has one and he is lost his Swivel Drill battery charger. I cant seem to find what the charger looks like. Is there a chance you can show me what it looks like so I can help my friend find one? Please and thank you.
@@Katurayev.A.89 sorry for the late response and I appreciate the question. Unfortunately I no longer have this drill BUT the drill should have a model number on it and through some research I’m sure you could find a charger on eBay or something. But at the end of the day and I hate hate hate saying this, you could probably get a better drill for the price you will pay for a new charger for this. Unless it’s like 9$

@@keithschmidt1171 hey man I appreciate the comment and you watching! Thanks a lot! 🤜🤛
I just got one of these for work. Part of a bigger set than that but still that same ratchet. Used it maybe twice and the thing locked up and the switch fell out.
@@rickyg943 that’s really a shame. The sockets are nice. But these ratchets are junk. Hopefully they exchange it out for you
Just an FYI, Dewalt and Craftsman are made by the same company. Some of their products are identical but some are made to a price point. The brushless Craftsman are probably pretty close to the Dewalt model.
@@joko-kc3wc yup. Stanley black and decker owns them and porter cable and lots of other brands. I agree the brushless are closer to dewalt but dewalt really doesn’t impress my overall but still good stuff. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
GOLDEN ARROW FOREVER
@@nomusicrc that’s the true classic!
Can I get an ignition from one of those
@@ceej62 I’m not sure if all of them work I still have 1 to finish up. They have them on eBay from like 8-15$ for the ignition and key.
The regular batteries use 18650 cells the "premium" Hercules batteries use larger 21700 cells. Same stuff Milfaulkee does with thier batteries afaik.
For sure. I was talking about the design of it is the same as the normal batteries just ALOT bulkier but in a cheap looking way like I wish with the bigger cells they could have still slimmed down the design like Milwaukee and even my ryobi regular compared to the hp they almost look identical it’s the same blueprint. I didn’t explain that well in the video though. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
There is a third reason not mentioned that I discovered... I had an older Chamberlain unit and was using a Phillips LED light bulb in it that was interfering. Surprisingly replacing it with a cheapo Walmart one fixed it. I hope this helps someone, but it sure fixed my issue.
@@eeknight that’s definitely an interesting one I’ve never ran across. Thanks for sharing!
Straight up cheap garbage
I’m sure you probably already know, but you can get a quick connect kit and hook this straight into your garden hose eliminating the need for a bucket.
@@arlittle13 💯 and this works great doing that for sure 👍
How is the Hercules a budget friendly when it's like over $160 for ratchet battery and charger
It's almost priced the same as a Milwaukee M12 fuel
@@joshbennett5335 so it’s 70 dollars and then with a coupon you get a free 12v 2ah battery and the charger is about 40$ so 110 plus tax. If you purchased Milwaukees cheap one plus a charger plus a battery it’s running you a lot more because Milwaukee batteries cost more then the bare tool ratchet. But you’re right it’s probably the least budget friendly option of the three ratchets. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good job
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! I appreciate! It was by far the best project I’ve worked on so far. It was my first and favorite lol. Have a great day!
How have they held up? Torn between the current sale on ryobi 6 piece tool set OR craftsman 6 piece tool set both for $199
@@mannynunez7032 my honest answer is I sold these not to long ago because I’ve always been heavily invested in ryobi but I wish I would have kept these. The quality especially on the circ saw and one handed recip saw are head and shoulders above what ryobi has. Hope that helps
Craftsman is aware of the issue, it also afected the 1/4 inch. They have since replaced the ratchets with the new low profile versions, you can go exchange it for that one. All those kits are on clearance now, still a great kit for 16$, just warranty, replace the ratchet with the new one. At such a cheap price its hard for me to really fault them for issues. You have to expect some quality drop from a tool kits thats constantly sold under 20$. if worried, just open the ratchet up an loose a spring or something, and go exchange it. Just make sure the new one is the low profile version.
I am aircraft mechanic and this is my ratchet. And no problem at all
Just say you work for Boeing. It’s easier that way.
😂 I'm also an A&P mech. I have that kit but with the other bit driver. That issue affected some 3/8 and 1/4 ratchets. I have 2 3/8 ratchets that also don't have any issues. But I'm also a tool nut and a garagejournal member, so I knew about the issues. I just went en replaced mine with the new lower profile versions. Those are in the new kits and way better ratchets.
I used to see those advertised it the back of early magazines. Always thought they're amazing ! Get er done!
They are very cool vehicles. Definitely something I always wanted to get. I gotta pull the engine this week so going to be another learning experience but that’s fine by me. Hope you’re doing well Pete!
Works very well on brake jobs/lug nuts on Ferrari down to Honda vehicles.

You definitely need some new tires
I got new ones like a month after this video. Thanks for the heads up though and thanks for watching
Mine starts but won’t stay running. I cleaned the carburetor, replaced the fuel line and filter didn’t fix the problem. Any idea?
Maybe the carb needs adjusted? I’m honestly not sure why it wouldn’t stay running. Sounds like you replaced everything. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
@@themaintenanceman1 I replaced the carb, problem solved, thanks

Very cool. Is it legal to take the 6x6 into public lakes?
I’m. It sure but I’ll definitely let you know 😂. Thanks for watching buddy! And I have seen people take them onto lakes but it’s only supposed to go into water 4 feet deep max but I’m sure it can go further.
Miles of smiles
Fun times for sure! Thanks for watching brother 🤜🤛
Yeah that looks like a great project for $250. I would have thought for sure it was fiberglass, not abs. Also no way I would do anywhere near forty mph in that thing. Never seen a walkout basement for a shed. I would strongly recommend disconnecting the batteries on the quads just in case a mouse chews a wire. Have a good week everyone.
Hey Pat! Thanks for watching! Batteries are disconnected and I love that the shed has that space under it. Comes in handy and was well thought out when built. I thought it was fiberglass also but did research and it’s abs strangely enough. Check out other videos on UA-cam of them. Attex 6x6 1970’s they cruise and are very neat. Thanks for watching and have a great week also brother 🤜🤛
GASP! wha.. a Jeep can tow?..... lol
What I need to tow it absolutely can buddy 👍. I hope you’re doing well.
Do you have a video for those of us (meaning me) on how to get it started the first time. I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have tried to get it to spin but I don't understand exactly what buttons and what order for my saw to even come on. I know how to use a hyper tough corded skil saw. Please don't fall out of your chair laughing at me either. 😂
lol. No worries. I would say make sure the battery is fully charged, make sure it’s inserted into the tool properly, then there is a safety trigger you got slide to the right (I think or it might go right and left) but you have to use one hand to slide that and pull the trigger and the saw should start spinning. If it doesn’t you might just have a dead battery. Like no good at all. Thanks for the question.
Thank you
@@user-ok8wk5tz7m no problem 👍
I'm in the same boat. Both batteries are dead after two years. Can't get replacements. No Chinese battery manufacturers make retrofits. I can't get support from Apex. Even their web page is set up where you can not request support for this product as it kicks back the model numbers as incorrect. Very upset with SATA and their parent company APEX. - Looks like no more Weller, sata, gearwrench, aoex, crescent, xcelite for me. Time to get a Ridgid.
Yup. Very disappointing how the website and numbers just give you the run around. I wasn’t expecting much from this thing but apex does make good stuff and was hoping it was a diamond in the rough but the process to get stuff fixed is inexcusable
