I’ve got that Powertorque set along with the ratchet they come with. I went Snap On in metric then saw the Powertorque and got them in SAE. They are worth every penny and then some. I’ve known about CAT tools for a while. Have their Snap On rebranded screwdrivers in my collection. Williams USA is another way to get Snap On chrome sockets. According to Williams, Snap On is built to a tighter tolerance, but they do roll off the same manufacturing line in the same factory. Not sure about CAT tolerance versus Snap On, but, like Williams, I doubt it’s enough to matter in practical use.
Dude!! I wrench for a living and my go to low profiles at the dealership are not snap on-yep it’s the power torque low profile metrics. I even keep a back up set in my top drawer.
Vim doesn't manufacture tools. They use outside companies to make their tools. The CAT/ snap on is common knowledge at this point isn't it. There is 100s if not more videos on it. I learned this over 20 years ago
Snap on makes tools for new Holland, case, and CAT. It's no secret most guys in the industry laugh at regular mechanics because of how much they pay for tools. If you don't think snap on is shafting you go check out prices for the same tools under other names
VIM does private label for other tool companies. If you are buying VIM tools, do not buy them directly from VIM. Shop around and you can get them much cheaper from their retailers. Sometimes as much as half off the VIM direct price. How do you order Cat Tools?
Yesssir i have been getting curious about the cat stuff cause i want some 1/2 chrome sockets and some nicer 3/8 impacts and i cant justify paying my snap on dealer even more money than I already do lol. Theres a cat dealer near me, going to work up a list of part numbers in the following weeks and see what i can do. Have you seen those vim 3/8 drive stubby impact bits? They look like the regular bluepoint/vim stubby 1/4 bits but impact rated and 3/8 drive
They all come from the same oem, i have some that came in my proto j61231 multi bit racheting screwdriver set, some in a Tone tools bit set. Stanley Black and Decker has them in Mac, Facom, USAG sets. It may be Hi Fiv that makes them
When I worked for John Deere dealer had a store manager, tell me how many CAT wrenches I had I told him up to 2 inch SAE and up to 32 metric he came out the day snap on came in told them match what wrenches I had and give them to me give him the bill took cat wrenches home that day thanks .
There's no such thing as a "VIM" knock off, they don't make any tools. They source their stuff from an ODM just like every other mid tier tool company.
@robertcasey3528 you obviously haven't used their tools. I'm sure you're one of those Strap-On obsessed people too though. There's too many tech/wrench monkeys nowdays that are shitty mechanics because they don't focus on their trade because they're obsessed with the dumbass name on their tools.
Dude you should really keep that information for patreon or something because, that can f it up for the rest of us. Also I’m having trouble with getting Wright tools.
I use mostly cheapers sockets. Duralast, Harbor Freight, some Gearwrench stuff. It all works about the same for turning a bolt!
These Snap-On obsessed idiots will argue that forever though.. even though they're wrong, as usual.
@FahimibnDawud but yet yall seem to always be the ones crying and trying to prove to dad your tools are just as good as his snap on tools lol
Did ya see the ratchet that goes with those power torque sockets, both socket and ratchet together are just shy of 3/4 of a inch.
thanks for the shout out james!! been eyeballing cat again lately gonna get the boys some pliers sets i really want some wrenches!

You’d think it was, but based on my last video, there’s a ton of people that are unaware.

How do you order Cat Tools?
You can find the part numbers online and go to a CAT dealer to order.
Half of VIM? What brands?

I have those PT in metric and sae. My Matco bit set comes with the metric set and I know there’s a bit set by Mac that has them aswell.
Power torque isn't bad budget brand

Please do a video on how to buy CAT snap on
Great video sir
What's the nameof the tote/case you use?
It’s a military case. I’m not sure where we got them, but I know it’s not a Pelican. I’ll look it over and update this comment
Any idea where to get that tool box from your truck? Looks heavy duty enough for what I need.
I got it from the Military
Great video

VIM isn't mid tier
@robertcasey3528 well they're not bottom tier, and they're certainly not tool truck quality

Some of their tools are better than tool truck quality. Snap on even has vim re branded tools. Lol
@@LEAT616 VIM doesn't make anything lol. So what you're saying is companies like Infar, HiFive, Kabo, etc make tools better than Snap On.
I think Vim is getting stuff from SBD

Well let’s see, so I get around 1.5k-2.5k views on a vid like this. There’s ~ 333.3M people in the USA. I think I’ll be ok sharing with a few…
@@MidwestToolReview hahaha I hear you, anyway who is your distributor for wright tool? And how did you go about getting their tools?
James you need better “protection”pew pew
That’s just the shop protection. We’re heavily armed overall
