I have snap on, Matco and both mac knuckle savers and precision torque wrenches and the macs are the most comfortable to use by far especially the knuckle savers! All are great though!
Say what you will about products made in Taiwan, but they have higher standards than other overseas countries, for example, no one under the age of 10 is allowed to work in Taiwan factories. ;-)
Mr clay .. yesterday I bit the bull it and bought that Mac impact set in the flyer 5 piece set with two batteries I have lots of dewalt stuff so it only made sense ..my wife thought it was such a good deal she says she’s going pay me back as valentines 😎 win win
I bought one of the creeper seats that you flip on it’s side and it becomes a step stool.. it was in flyer 1 . very sturdy and well made.. has already come in super handy in the week that I’ve had it
Can't comment in handtools, but when it comes to high-end and precision PC components, all the major players are Taiwanese companies. You would think they would be Japanese, but they'rw Taiwanese. So with that in mind I'd be willing to give other Taiwanese componets a shot.
When he said granddad's set, I felt old. My sae wrenches are Mac, 1/4 to 1-3/8, got em in 1989, back then metric was not as prevelent as they are now, so a tractor trailer mech usually had at least 2 sets of sae, for all the lines and fittings. Especially from 13/16 to 1-1/4.
you want good wrench's buy a set of wright grip. put the rest of the money you saved back in youre pocket to buy more sweet tools. if you want identical set to knuckle saver but cheaper look at proto. the wright grip are better than both though.
And I need to just take one or two wrenches when the Mac guy was there I bought a couple of the knuckle Savers years ago but I do like the Snap-on just a little bit better the way it feels in the hand
I recently made my fist Mac tool purchase from Mac Daddy. The ratchet is far superior compared to my SK, Carlyle, Pittsburgh, Paramount or my Craftsman(USA). I will ordering more ratchets from Micheal in the near future.
God I wish we had a Mac truck that came to my shop :( Matco comes on Thursday for me, our Matco truck was looking a little sad. Didn't have a few of the tools I was looking for, mostly just sold all of them out. Good for him, sad for me though haha. Got me the little baby streamlight you can clip on your hat, last one he had in stock (AAA battery one). Nice little guy, I like that the clip works both ways (Can clip it to your hat use as a light, or in your pocket/belt for storing). Was talking about tools, and told him if he ever wants to sell something to me, make sure it comes in blue
We used two of those giant knipex to remove a driveshaft for a mini cooper clutch, you'd be surprised how handy those things are once you have them in the shop!
The shop provided tools we use are Blackhawk by Proto. They've seen are manners of use and abuse and keep ticking. I'm sold on budget line tools from a reputable name... USA or not.
Clay if you want a stainless steel table and like me in trying to save some money on certain stuff, keep an eye out on Marketplace under the restaurant equipment section and search for used or even unwanted stainless steel food prep or food cut tables... If you happen to find anything then all you have to do is reinforce those underneath with plywood and Something like pieces of 2X8 and you would have a solid stainless table like that.... I've got a couple from a local Papa John's that I used to work part-time at back in the early 2000's and they were just going to throw them away and I decided to keep them and find a use for them but they look as good as they did when I first brought them home, stainless steel's tough,,, it'll last you forever!!!
Another test to check if a good stainless steel top is the magnet test.If it does not stick,good stainless steel.I see nothing wrong with made in Taiwan tools which are a lot better than the made in China hand tools.The Mac knuckle busters,there is a the Proto ASD versions and I have a Proto ASD set 6mm to 24mm.The thin wrenches also come in handy on some brake caliper slides,one is the 15mm used on Chrysler caliper slides
I gotta deal on em 980 lmao it’s a nice table but Mac daddy Michael paid to much for that table because I don’t think he would gouge clay or any of his customers who are goo to him.
Clay, y’all are just as cold there in Upper Mississippi as we are in Lower Alabama. I have been wanting to coach my oldest Boy on changing the front calipers on the 2003 Taurus his MawMaw gave him. It’s just too cold! I have to do it outside as we don’t have a garage.
Hey they work ! And to be honest if you are happy that’s all that matters. If they make you money or save you money it’s all the same. I don’t judge anyone by what they have. I remember back when ai didn’t have tools the struggle it was just to have what I could get by with. Just do you my man! It’s all good here I promise !
I remember the struggle to have larger impact sockets that I needed (above 1”) and would go to Lowe’s and buy 2 at a time each week because that’s what I could afford.
You bet im happy with mine ! I am the only guy at the shop with the colorful Pittsburgh pro sockets lol xD, and flashy black and orange Matco ratchet life is plain with out colors.
Looking for an old square set of SAE Mac Knuckle Savers, might go Ebay and try and get a few at a time. Nothing wrong with the Expert and Blue Point stuff for a guy starting out that can't stomach the price tag or the high weekly payment for a set of Knuckle Savers or Flank Drive Plus. It was quite a few weeks before My 1/4 - 1 1/4 Flank Drive set was mine. The old bead blast finish Blue Points were actually really nice.
Hey Clay, do you own the Mac Knuckle Savers? How about a Flank Drive Plus verse Knuckle Saver video? As in grade 8 bolt, nut, vise, both wrenches, get it on!
I don’t own the knuckle Savers they are way over priced. I do have snap on flank drive plus but honestly they aren’t any better than the max precision torque or any other wrench made in the last 10 years. The best bang for the buck os Wright grip 2.0
Mac daddy Michael is definitely the "soft sale" guy, because he is like oh, you never seen that well let's take a look. Then he follows it up with " that'd sure be nice to have huh." Good move, way to go.
I ordered those wrenches first week they were in the flyer, still don’t have them. Guess my dealer never got any before backorder... disappointed by my Mac dealer :(
When it comes to the thin wrenches maf can be beat no skip snapon and they are thin they get where I really need them I got mine second hand and can live with out em and mcs airb toolsn they beat out the rest
Next time mac rolls around could you check if he has any more of the monster mobile magnetic toolbox trays, I’m from New Mexico and have been looking for a set for my tool cart. Or if you can provide me with his contact info that would be amazing!
Hi! Could you please do a review on the Mac tool Ratcheting wrenches with some nice up close views? I'm having a hard time finding much on them online and they look great for the price. I see many Mac tool reviews on your channel and I figured you would have access to them. Thanks!!
Curious as to what the differences really are between snap on and blue point? Are they made in the same location? Both USA? We only have a snap on truck in VT.
Wounder if the table is lifetime like the toolboxes? Thats why I never bought knuckle saver wrenches because all the ones I've seen the wrenches just look so damn uncomfortable when you put force on them
made in taiwan.....why not just buy some harbor freight tools? its all teh same unless the name MAc means something , which it doesnt I mean after all its juist Stanley the walmart special tool company
Do a real video where you speak the truth about how snap on tool ain’t like they used to be, even Halfords expert compete with them with ease, Irish man here by the way.
I never stated which truck you where on, I know this is a video on Mac tools but I was just giving my opinion for a video that you should do, you come across like a fanboy of snap on that can’t give them criticism
Haha not a fan boy at all you must not have watched much of my channel ! With the polisher burning up and the gap in my toolbox i have given them a good bit of grief actually. Not to mention the junky vise grips they sell or over priced junk drill bits. ua-cam.com/video/dNlWJ7xAj2o/v-deo.html
Clay,would your mac dealer be willing to do a truck account with someone out of state & ship? I live in nebraska & have had ZERO help from mac customer service & we dont have a mac dealer anywhere. Would like to start taking advantage of the flyer deals but wondering do i need to pay in full or how it works. Newer tech on a smaller budget.
My rule for the boyfriend was neck and knees I would tell them and get a stupid look 👀 like what do you mean????Me if you touch my daughter in between the neck and knees. I’ll break your arms!!!!!! Looks of astonishment and fear!!!!! My buddies in the background tears 😭 in eyes laughing so hard!!!!
BIG THANK YOU! Clay really appreciate all the kind words and I will be sending this dealer a care package he was a good sport!
Mac came correct 980 good discount
Mac gives students a 50% discount and still makes money on all tools. Keep that in mind when buying from tool trucks. Same with snap on, and matco.
I have snap on, Matco and both mac knuckle savers and precision torque wrenches and the macs are the most comfortable to use by far especially the knuckle savers! All are great though!
I got mine Tuesday finally. Love the knuckle savers
By far Mac Daddy Michael has the best stocked truck. My son bought the sockets that are on special, great deal.
Say what you will about products made in Taiwan, but they have higher standards than other overseas countries, for example, no one under the age of 10 is allowed to work in Taiwan factories. ;-)
This guy is my tool truck guy this is insane
The expert line of wrenches amazing great price.
I actually bought a gearwrench tool from jdtco and it was ez and quick oh and im waiting on the 24pc mac wrench set
Mechanic my whole life retired I missed the tool trucks
Those knuckle saver wrenches are really nice. Thanks
I’ve had my knuckle saver sets for over twenty. Not one failure
Thank you Clay! This was one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while. Very informative and cool!
Thanks ! I appreciate you watching

thank god they made those new knuckle savers more rounded on the edges the old ones i got hurt your hand.
I hate the cold so damn much and I live in Wisconsin, but the 3 months of summer is great haha
We got our cold snap today, -18 for the high with wind chill........
Nick is really cool and funny as heck!
Jdt is awesome guy
Yeah he’s cool as the bottom side of a pillow
Next week you should look at the gearless blend door wrench kit from lisle on the wall behind his driver seat that thing is a great tool.
Can't comment in handtools, but when it comes to high-end and precision PC components, all the major players are Taiwanese companies. You would think they would be Japanese, but they'rw Taiwanese. So with that in mind I'd be willing to give other Taiwanese componets a shot.
I use USA, German, and Japanese tools. Some of the Taiwanese stuff is every bit as good, especially because some of it is the same stuff.
Great video as always Clay!
Thank you. I just seen a pic of some fired chicken you are having for supper...... looks mighty fine !

Great video Clay. Always pumped for Mac daddy Thursday!
Love JDTCo......videos are awesome
that is a tool truck almost as good as Mr. Nick's truck with a bathroom. JDTCO is fun to watch. keep the mac daddy videos coming.
Can't believe he has any of those wrench deals left. Wish I had a Mac tool truck to get a set.
Text him
And I need to just take one or two wrenches when the Mac guy was there I bought a couple of the knuckle Savers years ago but I do like the Snap-on just a little bit better the way it feels in the hand
That Nicki Minaj part in the intro made me laugh
That was the goal glad you caught it. You are the only one that mentioned it
lol thats cardi b 😂

Cardi b*
Cardi b 😂😂
I recently made my fist Mac tool purchase from Mac Daddy. The ratchet is far superior compared to my SK, Carlyle, Pittsburgh, Paramount or my Craftsman(USA). I will ordering more ratchets from Micheal in the near future.
the knuckle savers are great wrenches. I think they're the same as the Proto full polished combination wrenches.
Be sure you take a try on that mac BWP151. Tellin ya. Love my dewalt version and the mid torque one for the car trunk. Stupid 150ftlb lug specs.
I have that expert wrench set and I bought the big combination wrench set from mac
I'm happy Mac revised their wrenches, the old knuncle savers dig into my hands, no bueno.
I love my knuckle saver they have v open head locks good on bolts
Nothing beats snap on wrench’s
This guy fill to the top compare to my mac guy. Good stuff!!! 👍
You know I absolutely don’t mind the “2nd” brands on tools on the trucks.
Send some of those precision torque wrench bundles to long island, been waiting 3 or 4 weeks for mine to arrive.
Clay I sold.34.sets of those wrenches
Damn !!!! You the man !
God I wish we had a Mac truck that came to my shop :(
Matco comes on Thursday for me, our Matco truck was looking a little sad. Didn't have a few of the tools I was looking for, mostly just sold all of them out. Good for him, sad for me though haha.

The way clay put in Nikki Minaj verse in the beginning was legendary 😂😂
Its Cardi B lol. Same shit though
That’s def a Vidmar/Lista workbench.
That breaker bar you could probably play baseball with
I instantly subbed to jdtco as soon as clay mentioned him. His story sounds legit and im intrigued. Cant wait to see what he is up to
Those mac sockets with the grooves in them are made by a different company and here in the UK £20 for the 3/8 chrome's and £30 for the impact
Cool
@@KoonTrucking hmm this comment taste a little salty
@@luke8702no dog in this fight but he just said "cool", I think you may be having an episode.
I tried watching JD but I don’t feel a need to watch “reality” TV.
Already been seeing some of him. Its kinda funny.
We used two of those giant knipex to remove a driveshaft for a mini cooper clutch, you'd be surprised how handy those things are once you have them in the shop!
nothing wrong with the 2nd brand on the truck, i got a digital blue point air chuck, probably one of my favorite purchases ever off the truck.
Ihave one from 11 years ago and it's still going

Yes he is. Text him and he will hook you up ✌🏻

Having run a strip club with 30+ girls in the murky past give me wire stripper any day way less grief
Hahaha exactly and way less trouble or drama !

Go listen to his podcasts..lmao it's like listening to stories in a bar🤣🤣
tool truck talk
Clay in your opinion will a vice bolt on top of that table with the wheels??????
Yes that top is super solid !
Have you purchased the 121 PC RBRT bit sets?
Yes I have that set
All this talk about “strippers “ and even a guy in Jersey has his own “strippers”! 👍👍👍
Curious as to what the differences really are between snap on and blue point? Are they made in the same location? Both USA? We only have a snap on truck in VT.
Some of the blue point stuff is imported some made here but from whatever I have it doesn't seem like the same steel
I have never had a problem with Blue Point
Blue Point is usually Taiwan made and a cheaper price point but carry the same lifetime warranty
I still do not understand what saves your knuckles in one of these wrenches, I like the precision torque ones but haven't used any knuckle savers yet
Wounder if the table is lifetime like the toolboxes? Thats why I never bought knuckle saver wrenches because all the ones I've seen the wrenches just look so damn uncomfortable when you put force on them
I doubt it !
How does those chrome sockets work?
Big
I have notice the guys from the shop don't come out on the videos any more ??? Hope everyone is well
They don’t work here anymore
Haha put a Snap-on wrench up against the knuckle saver and the Mac spreads everytime 🤣 😄 😆
Really? Interesting
@@KoonTrucking Ya dude I will make a little video and send to ya.
What is the deal on the wrenches, and does he still have some?
Don’t piss off the Jersey King...I’ve met him at his old store
Ayeee
How do I get in contact with a dealer to come to my shop?
You haven't driven a truck like that until you drove one in 3 feet of snow and ice. Than try to stop...
made in taiwan.....why not just buy some harbor freight tools? its all teh same unless the name MAc means something , which it doesnt I mean after all its juist Stanley the walmart special tool company
