Have a yamaha and the marine plug screwdriver was definitely worth the investment. Don't want to even know how you remove those things if they ever strip, so certainly the right tool for the job works best. Have also used it for other odds and ends such as my floor jack. You may want to grab some of the koken but grip sockets, at least for me there's some bolts you most certainly don't want to drop whether it be doing an oil change, anode change, or whatever else. My local dealerships were looking at $500 as well for oil changes and winterizations and somehow they were booked months out, made the moves to do it myself some time ago and its definitely a pretty easy process even after watching basic videos.
Video of the service coming soon. Wasn’t too bad, though there’s a few things I’ll do slightly differently in the future. 100% agreed on the screwdriver, and I could tell that the last person who did this service didn’t have it because the screw is showing signs of stripping. I’m planning to replace it next year now that I have the right tool for the job and will be doing it myself moving forward.
The fact is, people complaining about snap on prices and comparing to harbor freight. If I’m buying a USA made Snap on hand tools, I’m not just buying the tool, I’m also paying the people in the US factories making said “made in USA” tool, earning their living in the US, supporting our own American people and keeping money in America.
No you are lying to yourself... when buying snap on tools you are paying investors shareholders and the ceo made 11m+ profit and keeps increasing yearly. No one cares about the workers they barely making ends meet. you are the typical goofy person wearing snap on socks and sleeping with a snap on blanket.
Made in America all day
I can’t lie, I was buying snap on socks off eBay before I ever bought their tools. Best socks I own 🤣
Exactly this. Price is a function of direct costs (materials), indirect costs (electricity in factory), direct labor costs (USA workers), and indirect labor costs (also USA workers, just not in critical path of the product) plus margin. Every company has to make money, but make no mistake snap on costs are higher than all the other tools manufacturers given these costs. Oh, and this says nothing of the R&D they conduct in order to improve their product line. Costs which are amortized over the live of the tool on the market. All for Harbor Freight to make a cheap knock off.
The adjustable wrenches, T handle hex and torx tools are made in Spain by bahco, there’s a bahco video about making the adjustables and about 1/2 way through they have snap on on the tools.
The bahco hex and torx are exactly the same as snap on, just the handles are a different colour, and 1/3 the price.
The foam is press and push. You will notice an indentation of foam where the end of the ratchet handle sits in the foam. Simply press the end of the handle down into the indentation and the ratchet pops up and is easy to remove from the foam for use.
My man is hooked 😂😂😂
Facts
That spiral pick is I use the most of.
I build race engines and that is the perfect tool for getting spiral locks That’s in the piston groove retaining the wrist pins. I’ve bought a dozen and have them on rotation as they get warranted
nice video, but we gotta see that tool box tour lol.
I’m definitely in my head regarding the toolbox tour 🤣 if I do it too soon, and keep buying tools, do I just keep doing tours? Do I wait and do one big video when the buying slows?
I have never broken a pick. I have bent cheap ones I got for the purpose of if I have to do something stupid with them. I have like 20 snap on picks and they don’t bend or break. I have old craftsman that are pretty good but the handles slide off if you pull hard. I carry a milwaukee long hook pick and a snap on mini 90 that’s all I need in the field. I prefer the snap on long picks over the Milwaukee but I don’t want to lose them. I actually like the old snap on black handle soft grips over the instinct handle I believe it’s called for the picks and mini screwdrivers. I have both though
You're a green guy like me.. that deserves a sub lol. Enjoy your videos man!
Appreciate you, Joe!
Great video love the Tools
Thanks!
tbh the only locking pliers i will ever use is my milwaukee ones theyre just vice grips i belive but they have a different end on them so i can tighten them harder with my pocket screwdriver. works great for sway bar links and the odd dowel or rounded bolt
Never ever ever ever pay attention to the people telling you that you spend too much on Snap On tools or tools in general. Those are always the people that have two left hands and couldn't fix anything to save their lives. If you actually have skills, you know why you need quality tools. If you can't afford it, get better at fixing things, trust me, if you live in America and have skills to fix things along with a hard work ethic you can buy the best of the best without flinching. To all of the people complaining about Snap On pricing: You suck at your craft and you can't afford it, that's the real reason. Try working hard, it might actually get you somewhere.
cope harder lmao.. You are bending and getting railed by snap on. making snap on, shareholders and ceo record profits. meanwhile every year inflation goes up and you become more broke barely paying your rent. keep buying their tools and the ceo can purchase his 3rd yacht. you sir are the loser.
I’m in Europe, we have tools as good as snap on for cheaper,
Bahco ( who make snap on adjustables, T handle hex and torx)
Gedore,
Stahwille,
Facom,
Beta ( official tools for Ferrari)
Unior
All as good and way cheaper
I see green snap on tools. And i subsribed right away. Following from the uk.
Thanks, Jay! I appreciate you subscribing, see you in the comment section 😁
I've got every set of the Malco made Branded snap on locking pliers. They're definitely spendy but 100% worth it. I have yet to gouge the teeth. I absolutely love them.
Have seen a few folks recommend these (apparently Snap On bought them?). Anyway, will probably pickup a pair of the curved jaw ones on amazon. Thanks for suggesting!
@HeyDerFolks kind of..snap on bought the tooling from Malco to start producing them in house. So Malco will no longer be making them. However idk if that's a good or bad thing.
I only like the Icon copycat hand tools (Snap-on, matco, Knipex). It's the only HF hand tools I own. They are 95% the same. Even CP The Blow Hard admits these Icon ones are not bad.
😂 @ the CP comment
Fair enough, most of the videos I’ve watched suggest they’re decent. I’m excited to unbox my new wrench set!
@@HeyDerFolks I own about 12 of these Icon copy-cat pliers but I also own the exact Snap-on and Knipex versions and have compared them for my use. I buy these Icon with 20% off coupons. They are excellent truck tools. My snap-on never leave the shop.
@@branned I’ve started doing the same. I buy Snap On for home and Icon for mobile, outdoor, or thrash use.
@@gtcam723 I do not buy Snap-on for a truck thief😁😁
I use my mag mats on my flat top parts cart, to hold larger items that won't fit in my magnetic trays, so when I (or less careful shopmates) push my cart around things don't roll off, especially if i need to go out on the rougher pavement outside the shop. I've been tempted to cover the whole cart with them at times.
Makes sense, I can see that. Part of me wants to mount it on a piece of wood with wheels and use it to pickup metal, or screws when I drop them on outdoor projects 🤔
High contrast is a great way to have a shadowboard set up. You notice missing shit way quicker.
I just got a hi viz stripper/crimper and man, it’s a nice tool. Liking the high viz and other bright colors. Thinking I may end up with some of their screwdrivers but considering getting phillips in different colors than flat and torx in either a different color or getting them from Wiha.
Also, waiting on the next size down in pliers. Man, the 44 pliers are slick I just wish I could find a pair of high viz with the flank jaw.
Man those locking pliers look shiny lol I still mostly use Irwins or CH Hanson. Hardness in the jaws of those pliers is a consideration. A lot of brands are not sharp or hard in the jaws so they just don’t bite.
The Icon stuff pretty well stands on its own. Maybe not quite Snap On grade, but it sure blows A LOT of other stuff out of the water.
Creme brûlée is absolutely a worthy use 😂
I assume they’ll come out with the smaller pliers in more colors. I think part of Snap Ons strategy is to make tools in singular colors/sizes, gauge demand (and/or get people to buy immediately), and then pending that initial “test”, start to produce in a wider variety of schemes.
Crème brûlée coming soon :)
I agree with you 100% I love my Snap-on stuff. 99% of stuff they make is well worth it!! I keep my harbor freight stuff as back up items or if I need to bash or abuse some thing and I don’t wanna jack up my nice stuff or if I need to cut and modify something.
Ha!! So you literally bought a bunch of overpriced tools that you're scared to use? How about don't buy tools you're not willing to get dirty... I've heard of other ppl doing this, which is ludicrous and so freaking sad. Imagine buying a tool you're constantly worried about getting dirty or scratching... good lord I couldn't work like that.
@@victorhoyt4352 why take a Cadillac to the dump when you can go in an old beat truck? You should use nice tools for their intended uses, when you have to bend a wrench to clear an obstruction or hammer on one to break a bolt loose why ruin a good tool.
P.S. We're not going to make America great again by buying Chiwanese junk. Show some patriotism and buy American instead of selling out your friends and neighbors to save a dollar.
Do you carry your snap on tools in a purse. Goofy people spending thousands to make shareholders and ceo millions.
What is snap ons net income from hand tools? Gross margin? Are you sure they’re overpriced?
I have my harbor freight stuff in a bag I call the “borrow bag”. When a friend needs a tool, I tell them they can take whatever they want from the bag. If I don’t have what they need in the bag I offer to help by either brining my tools to them or having them bring the work item to my shop.
The real issue with Snap-On is its not very easy to obtain tools. If you're going to compare HF , they win on price, warranty. And operating hours, maybe even customer service. I would not buy a Snap-On torch or a light or a speaker, I get speakers from an Audio company , like wonderboom. Water proof, shock , and dust proof. Bernzomatic is what I get for the torch. Malco Eagle grip makes Snap-On Vise grips. I would love to go back to when we weren't losing America. The only way I can get a Snap-On dealers attention is to order all that and a scan tool. Which is ridiculous if you just want some pliers.
Just an fyi if you break a single pick from harbor freight they are supposed to replace that one pick you don’t have to bring the whole set in. If they give you trouble call their HQ and they’ll get you set you up. You never have to return the whole set that who if you go to the clearance section you’ll find sets missing pieces.
I love watching ur vids I got few things u have I can't get enough of snapchat
I appreciate you, thanks for watching. And agreed, love the Snappies
@HeyDerFolks oh the mini torch I love the magnetic pad is amazing when I take my bike part its all in one place keep up vids man 😁
Professional mechanic here, stay away from the 100 tooth stuff for now, it's no good. They will get it right but they haven't yet.
I’ll likely never buy one. I love my dual 80s. Never found the need for more teeth.
I don't know what harbor freight set you have but the one I have has that pick
aint nobody out there saying Pittsburgh locking pliers are the same as the Malco SO rebrand. HF still uses good/better/best product tiers and I'd gladly take 5 pairs of their Bremens (or Milwaukees- same as the Bremen with a different adjustment screw) or Irwins over them if it came down to it. And you WILL be buying Irwins if you ever get into the more exotic jaw/clamp style vise grips. They've been getting copied for decades and nobody matches their selection yet. Functionality wise they're not really discernible unless you clamp down on the shank of a GR5+ hardened bolt for everything you ever do with them....
And yeah, I have a pair of Malcos and a couple Malco C-clamps. But for the way people who actually use their tools use vise grips...you need to treat them as disposable, to the point you'll probably do something dumb and maybe lose them. That's just how vise grips are. But you also don't go so cheap that they function absolutely poorly like the Pittsburghs. With bad rivets and weird jaw profiles. Nobody out there says Pittsburgh vise grips are comparable to even the Irwins.
Most the people who buy mirror finish vise grips would throw a fit if they used them like actual vise grips. Because they're boutique tool collectors. Vise grips can be anything from a "temporary" replacement handle for something you leave out in the rain or you'll be using them around extremely caustic materials that no magic mirror finish in the world will resist unless it's actually been 316 stainless or titanium this whole time (it's not). Bumping into them when you clamp something down to so you can more easily clean or cut the the part with a grinder. I'll happily nick up my Irwins if I need to hold a part still and cut real close to the jaws due to clearance, better the vise grips take the abuse than my fingers, they're a disposable tool you will abuse if you actually use them. Weld spatter and localized heat that can damage the jaws or ruin their temper. Wasn't one bit surprised when Malco threw in the towel either, nobodoy who actually uses vise grips wants to pay $50 per for 10 pairs of 10" curved jaws. Not for a tool like that.
Bremens and Irwins are good enough and they punch above the Malco rebrands in price:performance. Very easily. Not too far off in performance and much cheaper. And besides being disposable there's no such thing as having too many vise grips. Just one of those tools.
Fair points, I certainly fall more into the “boutique tool collector” category. I appreciate your perspective.
Nice haul
Thanks!
"Turns Expensive" , oh there's a shocker!
gotta check out the icon pick set. very hard to to tell the difference between the snap on and icon (I have both). packaging, handles, pick shape and size are both pretty much exactly the same.
The whole snap on vs harbor freight really has to be compared tool by tool not snap on vs harbor freight. and most importantly not snap on vs pittsburgh... the cheapest of cheap at harbor freight. gotta say icon, Maddox, and Hercules have become a powerhouse of nice tools, sometimes not even good "for the price" just really good.
Fair points, the Icon stuff seems to be pulling its weight. Will check out the icon picks
eBay has a nice option with hard handles I got a bunch there
Ya, will have to expand my horizons a bit to build out that collection
It’s interesting how the tools are all made in very different places. Do you know how many factories Snap On has? How do you know where each tool is made?
They say on the tool itself or on the packaging they come in.
Snap On has offices / manufacturing facilities in the following locations within the US
Elkmont, Alabama
Conway, Arkansas
City of Industry, California
San Diego, California
San Jose, California

Outside of the US they have facilities in:
Santo Tome, Argentina

Again, not all of these locations are necessarily for manufacturing, some are simply offices for their financial services business. Regardless, they’re all listed in Snap Ons annual report which is available in the “Investors” section on their website.
Does your snap on soldering iron use the butane quickly. Im contemplating buying one, they have several options depending on the size of wire you’re working with.
The 5 in 1? In my experience no, it does not eat through butane
I pov your channel and style and perspective. I would love to walk on a snap on truck like u. That said, my snap on visits are via u and others on UA-cam. I buy plenty of Home Depot ( husky, GW etc etc) and hft. Small correction of your vid for the harbor freights I’ve gone to my whole life ( used to hate hft now it has a place of benefit of more than one use tools imho) but I can walk into any hft and hand them a tool out of a set with no set and they give me a tool or open a set and give me a tool. That’s why every hft I’ve ever been in sales tools with purple stickers ( I think) that have a tool missing out of a set. Not sure why many say this. There are plenty of vids supporting what I say too. No vids of people saying they had to bring whole set, just people typing. That said, I’ll trade any hft tool of mine for anyone’s tool truck brand, I’m not one who claims hft is better or even close, it’s just affordable and accessible and easy returns or trash for me
Oh. And hft has icon picks now. Never used em. Not gonna buy em. I’ll probably get GW or tekton or husky. Maybe icon.
All good, I was wrong about the HF warranty policy, my mistake. I appreciate your continued support of the channel!
All the green Snapon stuff is made in Ireland.😂
Not sure colors define country of origin…
You can 100% compare HF to Snap-On. HF does it themselves in their ads and on their website. HF does make some good stuff, but saying their tools are as good or better than SO is ridiculous.
The best approach IMO is to build your toolset from multiple manufacturers and splurge on tool truck tools for your most used tools.
Love this strategy! Adam Savage says some5inf along the lines of the first time you buy a tool, buy the cheapest one you can afford. If you break it or breach its limits, buy the best one you can afford.
Cheap snap-on is an oxymoron. That's not an oversized green and black handle that's the normal handle on their screwdrivers now I got some old black handle ones replaced under warranty and they sent me red and black ones those handles are probably one of the nicest around but the prices they want for them are totally insane and not worth it. I don't know what you're talking about about Harbor Freight having to bring the whole thing back They open a box and give you the one you need You should have bought the icon pics They have nice handles similar to snap on and like less than half the price if you use one of their coupons
Nah man you can just bring in the 1 thing you broke and they HAVE to go open a box and give you a new one. That is the rule but you do have some workers at the stores who either do not know or just don't care, but the rule is you break it, you bring it to the store and they give you one. Then they put the box the open in the clarence section at a discount. I always feel that if it is a tool that I am going to use 4-5x a week then I buy a better brand, if it is a tool I might need here and there or maybe a couple times a year, then I will buy a cheaper brand.
Have seen this in a few comments. Sounds like I am wrong, thank you for clarifying.
@@HeyDerFolks Yea, you just might have to argue with the "kid" working there or just ask for the manager right off the bat if they give you any trouble.
What do you do for a living? If i can ask sorry. Been watchings your videos for a couple of months, great content man
My guess is finance.
Thank you for your continued support! By day I work as a software developer.
