True - but, you only buy them once -and, more importantly, Snap - On wrenches, ratchets, and sockets WILL NOT SLIP. If you’ve ever had a wrench or socket slip and cause you to jam your hand into a machine or engine block, you learn to appreciate that.
I've got mechanic buddies that all started out with less expensive tools(Craftsman) and slowly replaced them with MAC/Snap-on because of the quality and longevity of the tools. Rarely break/round off and lifetime warranty.
Very expensive wrenches but for the flank drive plus i think they are worth it, i work with alot of rusted equipment and it saved me a couple of time as for standard, whatever floats your boat
Look between the seat and the console. There's some kind of black hole that pulls things in. Especially valuable things. Oh, and food crumbs, and cell phones.
TheGarywilliams , but only $7 worth of steal , what a profit , and if you miss a payment the snap on man comes a takes the tool back , good thing I bought my life time guaranteed Proto tools years ago , I like waving at the snap on man when he drives right on by
@@mikey4016 Correct. They're already doing that with their Quinn and Icon brands. Check out the prices on the Icon tool cabinets, (warning, not for the faint of heart).
They're good tools, any honest mechanic will say that. But also, an honest mechanic not stricken with shop vanity will admit you can buy other tools for 1/2 the price of snap-on and can earn the same size paycheck.
Yeah but can they call to get a replacement tool dropped off at the shop same day? Can they send their pneumatic and battery tools in to be rebuilt rather than just buying another one? Do your Husky and Pittsburgh wrenches have Flank Drive Plus? Go back to your junk yard shack Kevin.
I'm not a full time mechanic, but I do refuse to pay a shop for something I can do at home. So, I own Craftsman wrenches, ratchets, and sockets. Bought them in a 192 Piece set. I opened it when it was new, and the 1/4" drive ratchet didn't have a ball/spring in it at all. But, they replaced it. Also bent a 9/16" wrench, which they replaced. Decent tools, but snap-on is better.
I have broken many wrenches thru the years, and from my experience i have learned a few things: 1) Any wrench is good, if use properly; 2)any wrench can/will break if use with a big enough snipe; 3) There are only 5 wrench forging plants that make the whole array of wrenches that u'll find on any shelf and it's the magnaflux process that distinguishes the quality of the wrench- it is what determines which brand name it will be stamped with, and every brand will have forging imperfections.
Yet, I've never had a Chinese manufactured wrench snap/break from too much pressure. If anything, the nut/bolt would either strip or cross threat first.
When I was a mechanic in the 60's one of the other mechanics his father worked at PROTO in Los Angeles he would come visit us about once a month, he would bring a box of 2nds wrenches, with the PROTO name ground off but the size and part # was still there, he would pass them out to the mechanics, I still have a couple of them 9/16" combination wrench 6 point, and an open end 1/2" with one end 75° head angle, memories 😆😆😆
The first pressed wrenches they showed are still snap on but they are actually there cat version of the wrench slightly different shape a fair bit beefier
On this side of the pond, the two types are called open ended spanners and ring spanners. The ring spanner with a notch in it, is just called a hydraulic spanner.
I personally prefer kobalt tools. I used to have snap on but replacing tools was just ridiculously expensive. I haven't had a failed set yet. I also have some craftsmen wrenches from way back in the beginning of the 2000's and they are pretty good too. I hear the new ones are garbage though...
@@bradwiza198 5/16" is exactly half of 5/8" and 8 mm is exactly half of 16 mm, so the closeness of the match between [5/16", 8 mm] and [5/8", 16 mm] is the same: 5/16" = 7.9375 mm, which is 99.21875% of 8 mm 5/8" = 15.875 mm, which is 99.21875% of 16 mm 1/2" and 13 mm are pretty close too (1/2" = 12.7 mm). A 1/2" wrench fits 13mm fasteners tighter than a 13 mm wrench does. A 13 mm wrench is kind of loose on a 1/2" fastener, but will often work anyway, as long as the fastener isn't too tight, or doesn't need to be tightened all that much.

Despite the narration that identifies the box end as a hex, it is a double hex, or 12-point. In both box-end and socket wrenches, the purchaser must choose between hex and 12-point designs. Most people go for hex because it allows a shorter swing in tight spaces before moving the wrench to the next hex on the hardware. Also, some lightweight and aerospace hardware has 12-point wrenching surfaces, on which a hex will not fit. On the other hand, 12-points are necessarily thinner than hex at the periphery of the wrench, and also do not contact as large an area as a hex head. Because of this, hex heads are preferred whenever they can be used, as they are less likely to break (the wrench end) or round off a bolt when high torque in necessary. Professional mechanics usually have sets of all applicable wrenches, including short and deep sockets, and possibly universal sockets (wiggle-tails), box end wrenches and combination wrenches, in both hex and 12-point varieties. Expensive, but they are professionals, right?
+Hopelessand Forlorn In third sentence above, meant to write "12-point" in place of "hex." 12-point = shorter minimum swing on a hex. Sorry for the error.

I have exactly 4 SO tools in my extensive collection. All 4 are broken, and because I’m not a professional and regular customer, they will not replace them. Don’t waste your money. Buy used USA made tools. They are far better quality. Much cheaper.
I used craftsmen and other then started buying snap on. I won’t buy anything but snap on anymore, yeah I pay a lot but never had one break, and I find myself not using tools to remove rounded off fasteners and broken bolts now.

Ive been a mechanic for over 40 years and ive never had a Craftsman Wrench Ratchet Socket extension fail me yet ! Thing Is i bought all my craftsman tools back when they were made out of quality materials, im talking late 60s early 70s . I actually have a Craftsman combination 9/16 wrench i found somewhere thats actually has Craftsman stamped on one side and Taiwan on the other , Pretty pathetic huh ... Nothing is made in the US anymore because of the all mighty dollar.... Now if you can afford Snap-on tools that great , but as i see it there way over prices and a waist of your hard earned money.... I have Snap On and Mac tools ive picked up over the years , The bottom line is " any hand tool you buy now days comes with a lifetime guaranteed . The professional ( tool companies l) has just about priced theirselves out of a job ! JMO .
I really hate how park tool rebrands non-bike-specific tools like combination and adjustable wrenches, allen wrenches, pliers etc. They should stick to cone wrenches, BB and other speciality tools.
@@trumpstroll7438 snap-on has never made a tool in their life, they are just a brand that puts their name on it and marks it up, the company Blue Point is who makes their wrench's like in this video, that's why they sued the shit out Harbor freight when they came out with the exact same car jack as snap-on because they went to the same manufacturer and got the same jack and sold it for $200 while snap-on was charging $500. The court ruled they're idiots and have no ground because they didn't produce it then self's. Bottem line, snap-on have never made a tool
@@backpocketmechanic7751 Dead wrong! I've toured the factory and seen the wrenches being made, right here in the USA. Snap On bought the Blue Point Wrench Company in the late twenties as they needed more capacity and this was a cheaper alternative than building a new factory. Their jacks used to be manufactured be Lincoln, but now are Chinese.
What the Hell are they doing using those wrenches?! It's Snap On! Wipe your oily prints off of it and put it back in the display case! There are plenty of Harbor Freight wrenches you can use instead. What were you thinking. If you scratched one...
I'll stick with my SK's. Had them for way over 20 years, working on everything from 1020 Unit and 1220 Unit cranes to cars and trucks. They cost out the wazoo, but they are way worth the cost. Snap on's are for pro mechanics working on lite duty items, but SK's are for industrial machines and worth every dollar spent.....
@@burp1914 A scrap yard long since gone in Kansas City. Worked there over 2 decades, and not a day goes by that I don't miss that place and the insanity that went with it....
bb4jdmlude i bet u love snap on. they are ok. but are overpriced. my dad spent 180 dollars on a swivell head snap on retchett.(he is a mechanic) it broke on him in a few years. now for 180 dollars i would expect for it to last much longer. his sidchrome and kincrome tools have lasted longer! have you tried stahlwillie. no probably not id say you have your heart set on one brand and say everything else is crap. if you tried stahlwille and felt the spanners you would love them. they fit the nut perfectly and are very strong. they are also still made in germany.
Well my snap on 3/8 has been with me thru 3 years of being an auto mechanic and now 2 years of being a millwright working on machines. I have yet to break or strip it. Also my other buddies have snap on ratchets and none of theirs have broken either. 1 had the screw come out of the flex head end. My snap on dealer replaced it with out even blinking
snap on are not a bad brand at all. my dad uses some snap on sockets and one of their 3/8 ratchets. but spanners he uses stahlwille. the stahlwille spanners have been around for yonks used everyday.
I can’t imagine what you do for work but wouldn’t you want to be earning your money with the most precise tools on the market? They might be over priced but the pros far out way the cons
But Craftsman tools (combination wrenches) dont have what is called flank drive, which makes the tool grab a nut or bolt and turn it using the flat parts of the nut.. so it will not slip around the nut as easy as a tool that relies on the points of the nut to be grabbed to remove then...so a craftsman wrench will not remove a nut that has the points rounded off, and a snap on wrench will do this...Most all the bolts on cars are always rounded off by someone using the wrong tool for the job...
"But Craftsman tools (combination wrenches) dont have what is called flank drive" Yes, they do. Practically all box-end wrenches and sockets have had what Snap-on calls "Flank Drive" for many decades. Snap-on still talks about "Flank Drive" as if it's exclusive to them, which hasn't been true for probably 80 years or more. "Flank Drive" is nothing more than rounded relief cuts in the corners of the broach, and you'd have a very hard time finding a 6- or 12-point box-end wrench or socket that doesn't have those relief cuts, regardless of who manufactured it. Here's an illustration of "Flank Drive": s3.amazonaws.com/thmb.inkfrog.com/pix/mighty8tools/Flank_Drive_009.jpg/450/1
Snap on is way overpriced, but Craftsman is getting worse and worse, half their line is now made in China, and their ratchets are becoming junk, worthy of the scrap bin. There are a lot better choices than Craftsman, ie SK, Proto, Wright, Williams, Armstrong, if you don't want to pay tooltruck prices.
Yet, I've never had a Chinese manufactured wrench snap/break from too much pressure. If anything, the nut/bolt would either strip or cross threat first.
@@mugshotmarley I still have a set of "Kamasa" spanners, bought in 1975 and used in anger until today!!!.... Only one problem! I bent the 17/19mm ring conbination in 1983 .... Still works though!! LOL!!
@@mugshotmarley ive broken several. snapped right in half or bent in half. only usa wrench i broke in half was a craftsman 13mm that i jerry rigged 3 breaker bars onto.
All of you quit arguing that Craftsmen wrenches are just as good as Snap-On, they aren't: Craftsmen wrenches are only made to suit the basic needs of someone who doesn't need tools often. Snap-On wrenches are made for professionals, however they are egregiously expensive. The best cost:quality ratio you could get is a Wright Tool wrench(industrial tools). They aren't horribly overpriced and can even rip the head off a bolt.
I ran military and civilian toolrooms and am an aircraft mechanic among other skills. I generally agree with your post! However it should be mentioned that Snap-on make many outstanding specialty automotive tools not always available elsewhere. Craftsman wrenches aren't really a problem, but when they changed from the old ratchet mechanism on their ratchets THAT was a fuckup! Coarse teeth and indifferent machining make them unreliable. My personal tool kits are a mix of what works from a wide variety of brands.
Well, Snap On is definitely quality. But I can understand how a DIY prefers Craftsman. It will get most of the jobs you need done and not kill your pocket. BUT, if you have the money, Snap On all the way.
what is the DIN or ISO standard to know the maximum and minimum tolerance to insert a hexagon bolt? Also What is the angle tolerance to turn the bolt ?

Keep in mind I work on my tractor trailers where it’s common to see bolts torqued in excess of 600 ft lbs.
Ive been a mechanic for over 40 years and ive never had a Craftsman Wrench Ratchet Socket extension fail me yet !
Thing Is i bought all my craftsman tools back when they were made out of quality materials, im talking late 60s early 70s .
I actually have a Craftsman combination 9/16 wrench i found somewhere thats actually has Craftsman stamped on one side and Taiwan on the other ,
Pretty pathetic huh ...
Nothing is made in the US anymore because of the all mighty dollar....
Now if you can afford Snap-on tools that great , but as i see it there way over prices and a waist of your hard earned money....
I have Snap On and Mac tools ive picked up over the years ,
The bottom line is " any hand tool you buy now days comes with a lifetime guaranteed .
The professional ( tool companies l) has just about priced theirselves out of a job !
JMO .
Only idiot that doesn't know how to use a wrench breaks them.
Snap-on!
Damn I had to sign a contract to finance this video
As a bike mechanic...I say Park Tool!
I really hate how park tool rebrands non-bike-specific tools like combination and adjustable wrenches, allen wrenches, pliers etc. They should stick to cone wrenches, BB and other speciality tools.
Park is made by snap - on isn't it?
@@literoadie3502 allen is the wrong name, they are Hex!!
this music is awesome
Old video. Way back when SnapOn was made in the USA
You mean they are not anymore?
@@trumpstroll7438 snap-on has never made a tool in their life, they are just a brand that puts their name on it and marks it up, the company Blue Point is who makes their wrench's like in this video, that's why they sued the shit out Harbor freight when they came out with the exact same car jack as snap-on because they went to the same manufacturer and got the same jack and sold it for $200 while snap-on was charging $500. The court ruled they're idiots and have no ground because they didn't produce it then self's. Bottem line, snap-on have never made a tool
Sad but true! Snap-On is sold in Pepboys now!😂🤣
@@backpocketmechanic7751 Dead wrong! I've toured the factory and seen the wrenches being made, right here in the USA. Snap On bought the Blue Point Wrench Company in the late twenties as they needed more capacity and this was a cheaper alternative than building a new factory. Their jacks used to be manufactured be Lincoln, but now are Chinese.
C Hill You have no clue what you’re talking about.
What the Hell are they doing using those wrenches?! It's Snap On! Wipe your oily prints off of it and put it back in the display case! There are plenty of Harbor Freight wrenches you can use instead. What were you thinking. If you scratched one...
I'll stick with my SK's. Had them for way over 20 years, working on everything from 1020 Unit and 1220 Unit cranes to cars and trucks. They cost out the wazoo, but they are way worth the cost. Snap on's are for pro mechanics working on lite duty items, but SK's are for industrial machines and worth every dollar spent.....
@@burp1914 A scrap yard long since gone in Kansas City. Worked there over 2 decades, and not a day goes by that I don't miss that place and the insanity that went with it....
Snapped a Snap-On wrench once...
No warranty... Never again...
That's not a hexagon! We learned this as small children! Unless it has 6 sides it's not a hexagon!
said hexagonal not hexagon
@NickoLps hexagonal doesn't mean 6, Hexagon means 6, Hexagonal means a shape that looks like a hexagon.
@NickoLps And if you run a hexagonal broach through a hole twice at different angles, you get what?
Классные ключи 🇷🇺👍
I did not see a wrench worth $85 in this whole damn video
So how much is the 7/8 at the start??
At 3:29 the wrench is still jacked up.
Stahlwille makes the worlds best spanners. Nothing even comes close
i totally agree. stuff snap on.
LOL not ever close to true
bb4jdmlude i bet u love snap on.
they are ok. but are overpriced. my dad spent 180 dollars on a swivell head snap on retchett.(he is a mechanic) it broke on him in a few years. now for 180 dollars i would expect for it to last much longer. his sidchrome and kincrome tools have lasted longer! have you tried stahlwillie. no probably not id say you have your heart set on one brand and say everything else is crap. if you tried stahlwille and felt the spanners you would love them. they fit the nut perfectly and are very strong. they are also still made in germany.
Well my snap on 3/8 has been with me thru 3 years of being an auto mechanic and now 2 years of being a millwright working on machines. I have yet to break or strip it. Also my other buddies have snap on ratchets and none of theirs have broken either. 1 had the screw come out of the flex head end. My snap on dealer replaced it with out even blinking
snap on are not a bad brand at all. my dad uses some snap on sockets and one of their 3/8 ratchets. but spanners he uses stahlwille. the stahlwille spanners have been around for yonks used everyday.
Go TEKTON!
Interesting. I was wondering if the box end was a brooching process, or part of the stamping step.
Who in the their right mind can afford snap on anymore.
A lot of people I guess, me being one of them and I just started almost a year ago , have nothing but snap on and mac tools.
I can’t imagine what you do for work but wouldn’t you want to be earning your money with the most precise tools on the market? They might be over priced but the pros far out way the cons
But Craftsman tools (combination wrenches) dont have what is called flank drive, which makes the tool grab a nut or bolt and turn it using the flat parts of the nut.. so it will not slip around the nut as easy as a tool that relies on the points of the nut to be grabbed to remove then...so a craftsman wrench will not remove a nut that has the points rounded off, and a snap on wrench will do this...Most all the bolts on cars are always rounded off by someone using the wrong tool for the job...
"But Craftsman tools (combination wrenches) dont have what is called flank drive"
Yes, they do. Practically all box-end wrenches and sockets have had what Snap-on calls "Flank Drive" for many decades. Snap-on still talks about "Flank Drive" as if it's exclusive to them, which hasn't been true for probably 80 years or more.
"Flank Drive" is nothing more than rounded relief cuts in the corners of the broach, and you'd have a very hard time finding a 6- or 12-point box-end wrench or socket that doesn't have those relief cuts, regardless of who manufactured it. Here's an illustration of "Flank Drive":

Nice
SNAP-ON TOOLS SINCE 1920
all for 10 easy payments of $2000
I didn't know they were broched (SP) I thought a punch did it all.
Statesiders still do not adopt the metric system yet, although they use in wrenches, and they know what a 9 mm. is
I wish we would, working with metric is so easy.
Snap on is way overpriced, but Craftsman is getting worse and worse, half their line is now made in China, and their ratchets are becoming junk, worthy of the scrap bin. There are a lot better choices than Craftsman, ie SK, Proto, Wright, Williams, Armstrong, if you don't want to pay tooltruck prices.
And stores no longer honor craftsman's long held warranty on their hand tools.
Yet, I've never had a Chinese manufactured wrench snap/break from too much pressure. If anything, the nut/bolt would either strip or cross threat first.
@@mugshotmarley I still have a set of "Kamasa" spanners, bought in 1975 and used in anger until today!!!.... Only one problem! I bent the 17/19mm ring conbination in 1983 .... Still works though!! LOL!!
Armstrong is gone ☹️
@@mugshotmarley ive broken several. snapped right in half or bent in half. only usa wrench i broke in half was a craftsman 13mm that i jerry rigged 3 breaker bars onto.
An 8 hours wash is a bit extreme
I'm not sure if 15 combination wrenches were made in this video
4:05 "ye call that a wreench?" (Aussie accent)
All of you quit arguing that Craftsmen wrenches are just as good as Snap-On, they aren't: Craftsmen wrenches are only made to suit the basic needs of someone who doesn't need tools often. Snap-On wrenches are made for professionals, however they are egregiously expensive. The best cost:quality ratio you could get is a Wright Tool wrench(industrial tools). They aren't horribly overpriced and can even rip the head off a bolt.
Wright makes very nice tools. I bought wright impact sockets over snap on ones because the price was huge dif
chain3519 My Duralast flex head is identical to a Matco or snap on...for only 20$ vs 200$ a snap on... lifetime warranty too...fuck snap off
I ran military and civilian toolrooms and am an aircraft mechanic among other skills. I generally agree with your post! However it should be mentioned that Snap-on make many outstanding specialty automotive tools not always available elsewhere. Craftsman wrenches aren't really a problem, but when they changed from the old ratchet mechanism on their ratchets THAT was a fuckup! Coarse teeth and indifferent machining make them unreliable.
My personal tool kits are a mix of what works from a wide variety of brands.
fuck snap off
Well, Snap On is definitely quality. But I can understand how a DIY prefers Craftsman. It will get most of the jobs you need done and not kill your pocket. BUT, if you have the money, Snap On all the way.
Did you even watch the video....
Never knew you could make a wrench outta deli meat, I need a wrench just a hair over a 10mm, I think I'll go get the salami
I really love the music in this one, would anyone know where to find a source?
The ending pun wasn't as good as they usually are
Now I know why they are so expensive....
Quality is not cheap.
Did you even watch the video what an idiot
Prehaps if the they used less gass on the forge to temper then they may drop the price for snap on
Mind you the French crap facom is just as expensive
Perhaps if they replace the workers with robots then they may drop the price by half
what is the DIN or ISO standard to know the maximum and minimum tolerance to insert a hexagon bolt? Also What is the angle tolerance to turn the bolt ?
@willsco76 I've used the same nobrand tools for five years now.
Isnt that much that can go wrong with one.
Man it takes lot of work.
How bout a new episdoe 'how its made, snap-on's prices'
When you don’t know the difference between hexagon and polygon........
bohoso opolah aku ra mudeng, tapi aku ndelok seneng. salam wong jowo indonesia
@hoarp001 No. These are Box End wrenches that have two different sizes. One end can be 3/8 inch and the other can be 1/2 inch
I like it
This video is great, includes 2 of my favorite things... TOOLS AND FOOD !!!! LMAO
In the UK, we would call these spanners, never heard them as combination wrenches before. Do you not call them spanners in the US?
No, they are wrenches. And flashlights are flashlights are not torches.
Unlike the uk and Australia we like to call things what they are. Like a car hood is a hood, not a bonnet. A wrench is a wrench.
thanks alot
