My snap ons been used and abused and it works like a dream one solid year of almost daily performance with fantasic battery life and nut busting power. It was very expensive yes but for how fast the tool is and how well it works theres nothing better imo.

It’s an electric ratchet, not an impact gun, I love my 3/8 Milwaukee ratchet, honestly I did a whole drive train swap on a 3/4 truck and used my Milwaukee small head 3/8 and dewalt 1/4 impact driver for 90% of the job, 18mm sockets and under really shine
That's how you market consumer tools. Look at the cost spent on glossy full-color boxes at the store to gain a perceived minimal edge over the competition. Then there's the plastic storage case, foam, cardboard inserts, papers, catalogs, individually-wrapped components to create the "unboxing experience" to make it feel upscale, YET takes away dollars spent on building a better tool. There's only so much you can engineer into a $30 die grinder, and it isn't enough to make a meaningful difference from the competition. When you buy a $500+ Dotco/Cleco, or Aro industrial die grinder, it comes in a plain brown (sometimes white) cardboard box with a sticker that has the model number on it because glossy packaging doesn't add any value. You look up the specs on the website or a tooling catalog and you order it because you don't depend on sexy boxes to market. Granted, I'm comparing a $500+ die grinder to a $30 consumer one, but you're buying a well-engineered product that you know will last thousands of hours, have model stability, customer support, and replacement parts for 20+ years down the line. The instruction manual for my Aro 7980 turbine grinder has an initial release date of 08/28/1972 and it's still being made today.
Found out that there is a benefit to having the large battery end while undoing a pipe flange inside a septic tank. You can tie a safety rope around the body of the tool if you are working above a space where dropping the tool would destroy it (falling into the tank). With it tied off, no worries about retrieving it. If I tried that with the HF, the rope would slide off.
Brian Lachance: you know there are uretha expanders. They’re smooth curved stainless steel in a set from small to about 1/2” . My urologist didn’t warn me about what he was going to do. SURPRISE! .
It makes sense that the snap-on would be better in pre-spin engagement test, since you're nearky making an impact driver with that and the snap-on had the fastest rotational speed. With KE=1/2*m*v^2, it gets quite a bit more energy to dump into the fastener then.
I use this trick with my snapon in real tight access spots, put the socket on the fastener, spin up the ratchet and jam it into the socket. supprising what itll crack off. EDIT - hopefully my snapon rep wont see this admission of abuse!
I agree. I've had the snap-on one for a year now and have used this to save my butt too many times... the planetary gears fail first. just break it loose by hand.
@@j.adamwegs2882 same thing with their cordless screw guns. I 3D printed some new gears and they worked well, but PLA can't take much load. I'll be trying again once I get a printer that can handle hotter material.
Speaking of Torque and stretch, on our 3608 Cats, they use hydraulic pullers to pull/stretch the head studs and just hand tighten the nuts. Release the puller and the head is torqued. Slick process.

Just picked up 4 shirts for the missus and I! We just bought our first house and your vids have already been incredibly helpful figuring out what tools to buy (or avoid). Thanks for all you do. We'd love to get a print to hang on the wall of our workshop! Thanks AvE!
Each time I watch a new video, I learn a new spelling-bee winning word. 'Obfuscation - the action of making something obscure, unclear, or unintelligible'. Me like!
Y'know, while I appreciate the mechanical analysis of tools, I don't come here just for that - I'm reasonably bright, and can establish skookum as needed. No, I come here for the fact that, in this particular recording, you managed to tie together venereal disease, 16th & 17th century French fashion statements, and flange sealant in a way that might make a shop class student more curious about biology, chemistry, and social studies - that's the kind of entertaining educational elucidation that keeps me coming back. Polymers aren't the only thing that should be cross-linked for durability - knowledge works the same way.
I love all your videos. I basically watched all of them twice all ready. I really love your honest upfront comments! Please keep making them. If you have a extra print available I’d like one I’d frame it for my tool box at work.
Electric ratchets aren't intended for torquing or breaking loose nuts, they are intended to speed up the removal and installation. Removing tight nuts is what breaker bars are for, and torquing nuts is what torque wrenches are for.
Hey Uncle Bumblefuck, I just wanted to thank you for your presage pertaining to progress of personal precedence, possibly the most pertinent pointers present on this deposit of debauchery and destruction known as youtube. I'm a 22 year old hs dropout from wild rose country who's getting his shit together thanks to your shining example, upgrading and hoping to apply to post secondary for electrical enginerding. Sometimes all it takes is a positive influence to kickstart someones hopes and dreams and help them overcome the pitfalls of the human condition. I appreciate the h out of your words of wisdom and you've really shown me what focusing on building agency can do for ones sense of worth, more so than any traditional educator ever did. Cheers and best wishes to you! I'll be sending some beer money your way as soon as I get some!
I bought the snap on 3/8 electric ratchet close to a year ago. There isn’t a day that goes by I don’t use it. Same battery every day. I have noticed when you grease it the torque isn’t there like it is dry. I’ve used it from putting spiders in fuel vessels to changing transmissions on ford trucks. This thing to me is with the price tag due to the time it saves alone in just undoing the nut by hand. That and it’s a torquey little tool. Thanks for the review.
Nothing better than getting learnt by you. Fresh out of high school and going to school for machinist would be frogin awesome to have somethin for some shop dickery. Buddy in my class got some of your shirts and they confuse the fungus outa the other guys. I would spend the canadian copexes but school aint cheep.
Yo AvE, thanks! Thanks for these BOLTRs, that one you did on the 1/2 inch Earthquake XL stubby impact gun saved my ass on a tricky Toyota repair job earlier this week, because I would’ve had to make a customer wait until next week while “the very expensive proper tool” was being shipped in. Your tear down showed that it could fit in a really tight area and had enough power to get that 1 damn bolt loose, and that it would survive long enough to put the bolt back IN.
I recall being an apprentice and being continually asked "now was that an accident or an act of stupidity? Now go sweep the floor again." Best safety advice I ever received.
3000ft lbs- The 1in drive rachet from my Hazard Frought $110 ratchet set took 230lbs bouncing on the end of a 12ft drill rod before busting the end off. Was able to get 3 of the 1.5in 3/4-16(NF- my fave thread) nuts off my lull wheel. Got the other 29 off after spending $129 on their 1in impact- had to use 1/2in line before getting the twist she needed.
I have the snap on at work (truck mechanic). Works great. Electric ratchets aren't for busting rusty nuts loose, they're for speedy install of fasteners, or removal if they're clean. Still wouldn't have the hazard frought
Your little history lesson at the start reminded me of the BBC TV series from 1978 "James Burke Connections". Fortunately this one comes from a time and origin where the audience was not considered stupid. Luckily it can still be found on that great achieving resource UA-cam with a simple search.
When I first started watching your vids I thought you were crazy and out of your mind.... After watching many of your wonderful videos that has been completely confirmed!
Love the People Are Monsters hoodie! Excellent conversation starter at the pump and munchin! Used what should be illegal, legal tender footin the bill even. Thanks for the wisdoms and da laughs!🤣👊
Came for the matchup, stayed for the history lesson, now I'm off to Harbor Freight to buy one these Earthquakes while it's on sale for 99 bucks. Great video.

I use my 3/8 snap on for almost everything ive got the longer less torque version but so far ive found theres not much it cant do. I did a set of brakes yesterday even removing the caliper bracket with the tool and it works like a dream. Brakes, struts, pitman arms you name it this little guy will do it i even use it to align big trucks when setting the steering wheel and jamming the nut down.
I particularly like your videos where tools are the subject matter. While I am OK with using woodworking tools anything that belongs in the mechanical/engineering/metal working tool sphere I am uneducated. Of course like many of the human species I do like seeing what's inside a power tool or device. In Oz it would have to be "keep your Sidchrome in a vise" an Australian brand of mechanics' tools founded in Oz in 1931. The brand emerged when Royston Siddons' Siddons Drop Forgings Pty Ltd turned to tool making to fill post war shortages after World War II. Original production of Sidchrome tools in Australia was in the area of Brunswick, in the city of Melbourne, Victoria. Sidchrome, until 1996, were manufactured in Australia, but since being acquired by The Stanley Works (named Stanley Black & Decker since 2010) production is now undertaken in Taiwan.
AvE magically fulfilled my curiosities as to the logic of those wigs back in the day. Thank you sir... I had been wondering about that watching townsend and son.... and they never really gave answers i felt beyond it "just becoming the fashion"
The trick with these (at least for the Milwaukee) is once you pull the trigger to move the tool the opposite way it is trying to rotate. So when loosening rotate the tool just slightly as if you were trying to tighten it. This allows the tool to hammer and act like an impact. I wish they could incorporate something like this into the design but you get WAY more power out of the tool when doing this
My dad has a Milwaukee Electric drill that is 40 years old or more. It has so much torque that it will flip your workbench over. Of course it wasn't a wireless drill.
If'n you still have some of those fancy safety goat prints, I love to get one for my son who just started a cabinet making course at the local coconut college. PS: I feel like Prudence the safety goat every day he walks out the door.
Unkle Bumblefack striketh agin- 9:19 "...only got the one ball..." - He's a one ball man with his dingus in his hand, and he's off to the rodeo- Those Safety Goat prints are sweet, it would definitely have a place in my shop- Paul
Another place metal ions are important: Making a souffle. When beating the egg whites, you need to use a copper or iron bowl (NOT stainless steel, the oxide layer prevents ions from releasing into the contents) if you want the egg whites to be easy to get right. The copper or iron ions that release into the egg whites are chelated (that is, chemically bound) by the protein in the egg white, which changes the properties of the egg white. Without the ions, it's relatively easy to overbeat the egg whites and the souffle is apt to fall if you look at it wrong.
Love wearing my tap chart shirt when I go to the meetings at the children's museum (hope they don't go the same route that The Geek Group went). I've learned more from your videos than the lab even had available.
I'm somewhat glad these aren't extremely torque-y. You know a lot of garages are going to end up having these, and you know what garages are absolute fucking masters at? Overtorquing bolts, and you know they love to use any kind of powered tool over using a torque wrench for proper torquing.
Graham Dallas soon not to be the uk if Jannette Kranky gets her way. That being said nice to see someone from this side of the pond watches this mad hatter too
I saw an old craftsman nicad one of these in the box untouched at a garage sale yesterday. Advertised fast charging time.... 3 hours! Picture on the box showed it in its wall caddy next to an outlet plugged in (no removable battery that I could see!) all nice and clean, ready for that home mechanic to use it twice a year to justify the higher electric bill. Out of frame I'm sure they had all your other favorites lined up like that on a pixie IV drip. Pretty sure I could just use a socket adapter on a drill for the times I'd want to use a thing like this, but I'm no auto mechanic (just do my own bicycle work).
As a mechanic I have owned three air version of these. None of these is designed for dead stop torque. I always broker loose by hand then pulled trigger once it was loose.
My old man’s a safety manager. I’d like to hide that screaming goat in his pickup somewhere. Bastard still likes to remind me that me hitting a guy while he was running a red light (18 years ago) was a “preventable incident”
I believe the origin of the wig was actually due to head lice. Syphilitic Alopecia is/was actually pretty uncommon. Early onset dementia, Potts disease, vascular aneurysms, and other complications are far more common.
99 doll hairs, holy fuck you read my comment from the BOLTR HF Earthquake ratchet video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that the excitement has passed great video as always!
99.99 Coupon code for the HF Earthquake ratchet is 12621704 Good through 11/30/19 in case any viewers out there don't mind being infected with chinesium.
Yeah I usually grab the head in one hand and the handle in the other to break things loose with an air ratchet, and then spin them off. If you run a bolt down fast and are holding on tight you can hit a bolt pretty hard on the way in when it bottoms.
My wife is a safety manager! I'd love a Safety-Goat print!

Universal torque specifications; white knuckle tight on a short wrench or 1/4 turn before the casting breaks, whichever happens last.
I always went by torque it until it just starts to get easier to turn the wrench. 😊
I always just turn it until the fastener head snaps off, then back it off a quarter turn.
“A little application of percussive maintenance...” 😂😂😂
I’m totally gonna use that.

It's still twice the price of the ac delco model.

The brand emerged when Royston Siddons' Siddons Drop Forgings Pty Ltd turned to tool making to fill post war shortages after World War II. Original production of Sidchrome tools in Australia was in the area of Brunswick, in the city of Melbourne, Victoria.
Sidchrome, until 1996, were manufactured in Australia, but since being acquired by The Stanley Works (named Stanley Black & Decker since 2010) production is now undertaken in Taiwan.
AvE magically fulfilled my curiosities as to the logic of those wigs back in the day. Thank you sir... I had been wondering about that watching townsend and son.... and they never really gave answers i felt beyond it "just becoming the fashion"
As I'm always in a fight with health and safety at work, I would appreciate a safety goat print to prolong the passive aggressive battles
Great tools for speed ,ease of assembly and tear down .
The connection between power tools and the clap is obvious. Both can sting and make your eyes water.
I run CNC for a parasite shop based out of Canada located in Alabama. I need safety goat stickers!
I'm right with ya on the commercials....absolutely loath them!
Thanks for the video.

I, too, am a fan of The Last Boyscout.
That old chestnut predates talkies by at least a century.
Ave did you remember to put the driven sun gear and shaft back in the first time, or did you hear me yelling that you missed it.
It goes in from the top I think - the crank end won't fit otherwise.
The trick with these (at least for the Milwaukee) is once you pull the trigger to move the tool the opposite way it is trying to rotate. So when loosening rotate the tool just slightly as if you were trying to tighten it. This allows the tool to hammer and act like an impact. I wish they could incorporate something like this into the design but you get WAY more power out of the tool when doing this
My dad has a Milwaukee Electric drill that is 40 years old or more. It has so much torque that it will flip your workbench over. Of course it wasn't a wireless drill.
If'n you still have some of those fancy safety goat prints, I love to get one for my son who just started a cabinet making course at the local coconut college. PS: I feel like Prudence the safety goat every day he walks out the door.
I appreciate your honesty and if I didn’t have my kids bills to pay I would definitely contribute to the cause. Thank you.
My fathers favorite quote...if can't dazzle them with brilliance.....thanks for that!
Unkle Bumblefack striketh agin- 9:19 "...only got the one ball..." - He's a one ball man with his dingus in his hand, and he's off to the rodeo- Those Safety Goat prints are sweet, it would definitely have a place in my shop- Paul
I think Ave should open a tool repair shop. He has such a gentle hand.
I'm with you on the value of TV these days. Really bad now but takes on a totally radioactive quality when it's election season.
"Depending on how long I wait, it doesn't take much at all to bust-a-nut".... 😂😂😂😂😂 that should be on a t-shirt.
After watching your channel and “zips ties and bias plies” only differences between you and peg is the junk yard full of fords and a stunned dog.
Another place metal ions are important: Making a souffle. When beating the egg whites, you need to use a copper or iron bowl (NOT stainless steel, the oxide layer prevents ions from releasing into the contents) if you want the egg whites to be easy to get right. The copper or iron ions that release into the egg whites are chelated (that is, chemically bound) by the protein in the egg white, which changes the properties of the egg white. Without the ions, it's relatively easy to overbeat the egg whites and the souffle is apt to fall if you look at it wrong.
That dingus-lopper on the bench at 17:56 looks like something from a Hubble rescue mission.
Different levels of abstractions!!!

It is so nice how you circle on some other topics.

Love wearing my tap chart shirt when I go to the meetings at the children's museum (hope they don't go the same route that The Geek Group went). I've learned more from your videos than the lab even had available.
I'm somewhat glad these aren't extremely torque-y. You know a lot of garages are going to end up having these, and you know what garages are absolute fucking masters at? Overtorquing bolts, and you know they love to use any kind of powered tool over using a torque wrench for proper torquing.
I thought it prudent to order a t-shart, there's no way the cannon will reach me knowing my luck.
Graham Dallas or my luck, the cannon would reach but the incoming is something way more substantial than a T-Shirt?
Graham Dallas I’ve got no chance it reaching me in the uk then
@@leerobinson4210 I'm in NE Scotland
Graham Dallas soon not to be the uk if Jannette Kranky gets her way. That being said nice to see someone from this side of the pond watches this mad hatter too
I saw an old craftsman nicad one of these in the box untouched at a garage sale yesterday. Advertised fast charging time.... 3 hours! Picture on the box showed it in its wall caddy next to an outlet plugged in (no removable battery that I could see!) all nice and clean, ready for that home mechanic to use it twice a year to justify the higher electric bill. Out of frame I'm sure they had all your other favorites lined up like that on a pixie IV drip.
Pretty sure I could just use a socket adapter on a drill for the times I'd want to use a thing like this, but I'm no auto mechanic (just do my own bicycle work).
As a mechanic I have owned three air version of these. None of these is designed for dead stop torque. I always broker loose by hand then pulled trigger once it was loose.
In the aviation industry we call that Galaxy Grease (C5-A) !!
Tend to pass out before I get the job done 😂 that was good
I honestly didn't think I'd get a lesson on syphilis in this vid 😂
Haha, the plastic bag @9:38. I laughed so hard about 10 sec after that when i finally goat it.
Ave, Thanks for the follow up on these ratchets, LMFAO at the plastic bag joke. I guess I've been doing it wrong all these years ?
he should definitely have that bolt in a vice. his hand is absorbing energy
Already bought the shirt. Wouldn't mind the print to add to my Wall Of Shame at work.
My old man’s a safety manager. I’d like to hide that screaming goat in his pickup somewhere. Bastard still likes to remind me that me hitting a guy while he was running a red light (18 years ago) was a “preventable incident”
I believe the origin of the wig was actually due to head lice. Syphilitic Alopecia is/was actually pretty uncommon. Early onset dementia, Potts disease, vascular aneurysms, and other complications are far more common.
99 doll hairs, holy fuck you read my comment from the BOLTR HF Earthquake ratchet video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that the excitement has passed great video as always!
99.99 Coupon code for the HF Earthquake ratchet is 12621704 Good through 11/30/19 in case any viewers out there don't mind being infected with chinesium.
Yeah I usually grab the head in one hand and the handle in the other to break things loose with an air ratchet, and then spin them off. If you run a bolt down fast and are holding on tight you can hit a bolt pretty hard on the way in when it bottoms.
I have the hardest time finding plastic bags large enough to stand in.
@Jesse V buy a refrigerator.
These powered ratchets are for spinning fasteners you are supposed to use muscle power for your final torqueing or cracking loose.
2:21 "Blow me" I'll have you know, I never do that on the first date...
P.S. Somehow I am not surprised that AvE is a syphilis expert
