    Thank you for the video and review brother. The only one that surprised me was the GW ratchet. I gave up on then a few years ago when it seemed the quality went south. I had two ratchets fail and just said to myself, serves me right.
    Two items i bought this year that i am impressed with. Milwaukee impact sockets and their wrenches. I had no business buying the wrenches i guess, got more than i can use now but they feel great in hand and have good tolerances.
    Hope y'all have a great new Year's.

    That snap on wrench set cost well over $700 😆. I couldn’t do it I bought Horrible freight version. I don’t wrench professionally anymore but I still like to keep my tool box up to date. One of the best tools make in the past years.

    I got that Snap On zero offset dbl box end flex head reversible ratcheting wrench set (that’s a mouthful) for Christmas. Gorgeous wrenches, but I had to send in 4 of the 5 for warranty due to floppy heads (wasn’t able to tighten) and a loose mechanism in the head of one. The replacements are on backorder until Feb. The rep surmised they are sorting out some of these QC issues with the first batch and the second batch in Feb should be up to Snap On’s standards, at which point you will see them back on the site and the trucks.
