I'm a DIYer who buys Snap-on for mechanical, Fluke for electrical, Makita for carpentry, EWM for welding, Sandvik for machining... the list goes on. I 100% understand the feel of a quality tool and the concept of 'buy once, cry once'
I program a Lincoln power supply on a Fanuc Arcmate 100 at work daily, it's a workhorse. But single phase Lincoln in Australia is just another tool shop brand, with frankly a bad rep for warranty @PavelMikhalkov
Glad you got a digital toque wrench. I love mine. Wish it was in green, but as you know, early adopters of Snap On are usually stuck with red. For your EDC kit, you might need to add a Snap On Pen and notepad, a Snap On multitool, Some Snap On paracord, a Snap On compass, a Snap On ferrorod, a Snap On cell phone case, a Snap On tourniquet, Snap On key fob, Snap On wallet, a Snap On EDC pouch to carry it all, and of course you'll have to ditch the Sub and get a Snap On watch. Good Luck!
I appreciate your support! If they’re making fun of me for talking about how I spend *my* money, I don’t pay much attention. I do appreciate their viewership, however.
I run a landscaping business and also a off road recovery service. I also choose to live outside even though I have a house I sleep outside unless it's real bad weather. With that being said wool socks are the only way to go year around, once you start you will never want to go back to cotton
I have that mini reversible screwdriver and carry that with my Lang mini pry bar, a small extendable magnet, pocket knives n my Snap On mini flat head screwdriver- Everyday, all day.
I work outside 9+hrs a day in extremely cold winter temps. I wear long johns with cheap sweatpants under Carhartt insulated work pants that are like the bib overall or the overall but just side zip pants with ton of pockets, belt loops etc... Expensive $105+ a pair but I get 4-5 yrs per pair. Then wool socks n Red Wing Gore-tex boots. Usually a cheap hoodie with a heavy duty Carhartt hoodie over it. If it's extremely cold- I may use my Carhartt zipper hoodie as a jacket. The more active I am the worse it can be. If you start sweating n then stop working as fast n hard, you can get cold. Usually I wear a Under Armour or equivalent cold weather long sleeve as my upper base layer which usually wicks most sweat without remaining wet. If Im wet, cold- Im miserable. Keeping my feet n hands warm is the most important in but my hands are difficult. I need use of my fingers so most gloves don't cut it. I usually cut finger tips off a cheaper glove.
Who cares if people make fun of you bro. Love for tools is love for tools, going live would be cool. I’m a full time mechanic and my personal box has some snap on right next to the Pittsburgh. Doesn’t have to always be used to enjoy having them.🤟🏼
Hell yeah, right on. Snap On dealer says he has some more hats for me that I can give away, and the screwdriver I’ve been waiting on has finally come in. Hoping to go live soon
back in the day, 46 years ago i needed torque wrench for a polaris clutch 250 lb. then needed inch lb. torque wrench bought that. i had the 3/8 th size already, bought a digital 3/8 25 years ago all stil working great. not used everyday but they have lasted my lifetime

Get yourself some alpaca socks. They are thick but comfortable. I wear them all year long. The good ones are expensive. Get a good pair to try out at first.
Got my black and hi viz techangle 1/4" last monday. Walked it immediately from the truck over to our parts desk and it went right to our calibration lab. I didnt order mine with foam as ill also need the 3/8. They dont have a 1/4 3/8 set. Just 3/8 1/2 or the 3 pc set. CTT makes a custom foam for the 1/4 3/8.
@HeyDerFolks ya the 725 for the 1/4 was a big enough hit. I work in aviation so the 15-300 in lbs is nice. We have use case for the 10-50 in lbs torque wrenches so I'll be able to do almost everything
I carry a sling bag as my “man purse” everyday, so all the stuff goes in there. The Snap On screwdriver I’ve been waiting for finally came in, so I’ll be picking it up soon 👀
I don’t know who gave you misinformation, but physics doesn’t have opinions. If you apply 100ft-lbs. you will get 100ft-lbs doesn’t matter if you have no extension or a 30 inch extension. As long as you stay on the axis you are applying the torque thru.
snap on tools, way, way overpriced and extremely overrated. A lifetime warranty is a lifetime warranty, whether the tool says snap on on it or Pittsburgh on it. If I need to warranty a Pittsburgh tool on a Sunday afternoon, I live about 2 miles from a Harbor Freight. Try to find your snap on tool truck guy on a Sunday afternoon. Good luck with that. BTW, socks are socks and tape measures are tape measures.
Being a Vietnam vet, made in USA means everything to me. Do yourself a huge favor a do some research and you just might find that not all overpriced and overrated snap on tools are made in the USA.
"Dudes" not angry at anybody dumb enough to pay 50 bucks for 3 pair of socks just because they say snap on on them, however, "dudes" smart enough to buy his sock at Sam's Club which are probably made at the same place snap on socks are made. You seem to be the "angry" one. Suggest you get smart and lose the anger and buy your socks at Sam's Club.

Amen
No offence, but how can you have feel a quality tool with EWM instead of Lincoln Electric?
Makita!

🤣 I’ll get right on that. Cheers, Doc
Great haul glad to see you back
Thanks!
Yes… my guy is back! Fantastic haul. Live stream would be great.
Will get the wheels in motion 🫡
Let people make fun of you. I love your passion for tools. Keep the content coming!
I appreciate your support! If they’re making fun of me for talking about how I spend *my* money, I don’t pay much attention. I do appreciate their viewership, however.
GOOD FOR YOU GLAD YOU SPEND HOW YOU WANT!
🫡
Great video! Glad your socks kept you warm at the game. Go Bills!
Thanks! Go Bills
Great video nice pick ups, like that hi viz snap on tape and that tech angle is pretty sweet 👌🏻 Also Subscribed!
Thanks!
Make sure you keep the battery out of the torque wrench when you aren’t using it
Yes i ruined my Matco 1/2” that way on accident
I picked up a 3/8 off ebay that was ruined by that. $40 and snapon charged $120 to refurbish it. Been looking for a 1/4.
Oh shit I didn't know that I've had mine in since I bought it stored in my box at work
Just use lithium batteries and not alkaline ones!
I only wear the snap on low profile socks. Love them. Have like 20 pair haha
The bug has bitten very nice 👍😎👍
Bitten? Brother, it has swallowed me whole. I’ve got some 15 snap on unboxing videos on this channel 🤣
@HeyDerFolks I just pray that you found a good dealer that is showing you some love 👍😎👍
I just remodeled my whole master bathroom with a 25’ snap on tap measure. Well worth it, I got mine for free because you know how snap on works haha.
Nothing better than “free” 😃

They held up well today at the Bills game. High was 31 and we hovered in the low 20s for most of the day
I have that mini reversible screwdriver and carry that with my Lang mini pry bar, a small extendable magnet, pocket knives n my Snap On mini flat head screwdriver- Everyday, all day.
That red hat is 🔥🔥🔥
The only thing Snap On seems to make more of than lights…is hats. Agree tho, its slick
Great haul congratulations 👍
Thank you!
The socks are awesome
i wore snap on socks everyday for the better part of 10 years. i now wear hollow socks, and will never look back.
First I’ve heard of Hollow. Will check them out
Haven’t found anything that comes close to Darn Tough socks. Give them a shot
If spending $20 on socks buy darn tough socks. I have a weeks worth for work and they’ve become my favorite socks.
Few folks have recommended these, going to try them.
@@HeyDerFolksI 100% second this. I’ve tried many expensive socks; darn tough, smart wool, thorlos, Snap on, Carhartt. Get the darn tough.
Damn it! Strap-on reams out another guy and makes him like it 😮
🤔
costco kirkland wool socks are the best. and new tool haul. still waiting on that tool box tour lol.
It may finally be time 😅

When do get the Toolbox Tour?
Wool socks are great. I bought snapon socks recently only because they were $4/pair. At that price, they're really good.
At what price would they not be “really good”?
@HeyDerFolks When they reach the price of darn tough socks.

Your name Brewster by any chance?
It’s the only explanation I can think of for having both a boat *and* a Snap-On habit as a DIY-er 😂
Just trying to live my truth 🤣
How much was it? I’m looking on EBay for one since I don’t have access to a truck for the discount.
The torque wrench? Just over 700
@@HeyDerFolkswow! I hope this is a joke. I mean its none of my business how people spend their money but damn
Using swivel socket on a torque wrench will give improper torque. Fyi.

Good to know. How might I torque something down that seemingly requires a swivel to access?
@@HeyDerFolkscrows feet usually is the way to go
Use a torque adapter.
@@HeyDerFolksAstro tools make a torque saver swivel socket
Get yourself some alpaca socks. They are thick but comfortable. I wear them all year long. The good ones are expensive. Get a good pair to try out at first.
Can you please do a short about the laser light
Of course, what about the light are you most interested in learning more about?
@HeyDerFolks well I cart find much about the light at all so a basic run down and demonstration would be nice
Got my black and hi viz techangle 1/4" last monday. Walked it immediately from the truck over to our parts desk and it went right to our calibration lab.
I didnt order mine with foam as ill also need the 3/8. They dont have a 1/4 3/8 set. Just 3/8 1/2 or the 3 pc set. CTT makes a custom foam for the 1/4 3/8.
The three piece set is nice, just have to hold your breathe while they run your credit card 😬

Have a tool number for the light?
ECPNJ032
I’d get a pouch for your edc carry I think it’s easier I edc something similar the light is the hard thing to find a spot for
I carry a sling bag as my “man purse” everyday, so all the stuff goes in there. The Snap On screwdriver I’ve been waiting for finally came in, so I’ll be picking it up soon 👀
Remember extensions, swivels, adapters all change the actual torque applied to a fastener
Extensions and adapters don’t affect torque and swivels will affect them very little. I would guess within the wrenches tolerances.
I don’t know who gave you misinformation, but physics doesn’t have opinions. If you apply 100ft-lbs. you will get 100ft-lbs doesn’t matter if you have no extension or a 30 inch extension. As long as you stay on the axis you are applying the torque thru.

Dudes angry over some socks. poor guy

Snap on are very ordinary tools, waste of money
I will do better in the future 😭
