I would put Quinn against any other manufacturer. The quality, the price, the lifetime warranty. Really hard to beat!
Quinn is great
Your right
Great video
I'm on the fence between Quinn and icon for the 1/4in socket set. I love everything from icon so far and haven't used Quinn yet.
@@richardwang474 i got the quinn set like it so far
I'm a mid life DIY mechanic, I have loved cars since I was a young boy, but always was afraid to try fix them. Went off to collage got a job, 24 years later I'm 42 and driving a car I really didn't like.. my breaks started squeeking, and I called to find out how much, got qoute $500.. I called auto zone 80 bucks for the pads.. I bought them and watched a youtube video. It wasn't hard, and I fell in love with fixing car, so i been saving up and got 5k to build out a tools set. I was originally going to go all gearwrench, but you guys and the den of tools put me on to harbor freight. I love the feel of icon, I think I'm going to go icon and Quinn for hand tools and Herc and cheese(also known as hercules) for power tools. Instead of gearwrench and milwaukee. Granted I may still go with some gearwrench on some items when amazon has some good deals, I do like their tools too. Right now I been operating with a $99 dollar kobalt set, tha I got for $50 bucks. I plane to keep them in my car as my emergency set
I have compared my Quinn sockets to a coworkers Kobalt. They appear identical. Kobalt is known be be made by Apex tools, makers of Gear Wrench.
My husky 1/4 set walked away from my toolbox. So been thinking i was gonna try one of these out, glad to find this video!
I'm sorry 😔
Quinn for a road tech, Icon for a shop tech.
Good point
That’s a great idea
Yeah cool video
@@PriceKustomsno. Icon has hardly any chamfer. If you're in the field you do not want to damage a fastener - with too much chamfer -not biting properly on a fastener. Icon is better. It bites better. If you're in the field and you need a new bolt because you rounded a head, you are SOL. In flat rate shop, you may want faster on and off a fastener, if you think you won't round the head - so Quinn can be better for that, with more chamcer. But I don't like chamfer, because it makes it less stable while you turn it, so you spend more energy turning the wrench in a nice round concentric circle.
A few notes about the Quinn set, and hopefully this will help a potential buyer wanting to get the most for their money...
1. A handled driver should always have the female ratchet hole in the heel of the handle. This is incredibly handy for situations when you need to break a fastener free, but you want the dexterity and refined use of the tool in a delicate situation where using a ratchet exclusively is clumsy, or when space doesn't allow for a ratchet. Some more expensive kits omit this feature, and shame on them. Good on Quinn for doing it right.
2. The squared handles, even if slippery, have proven to be superior to round or faceted handles, even if they are rubberized. The square shape allows the human hand to apply torque more effectively, and without as much fatigue, as their round or faceted counterparts. Even with greasy hands. And the hard plastic makes cleaning quick and easy. Snap-on has been doing it for decades for a reason.
3. Socket chamfer. It's hard to see in the video, but the Quinn has, what I would call, a modest chamfer. While the chamfer aids in getting the socket to slip onto a fastener, too much is a bad thing. I have found that the less chamfer on a socket, the better, as a little does the job, but a more pronounced chamfer causes the socket to cam off of fasteners, especially if you cannot get a perfectly straight approach. Many cheaper tool sets have a really deep chamfer, and they go straight in the trash. Even the Husky brand sockets have a chamfer that is too deep. For folks looking at tools, this should be a consideration. I think it's safe to say that every mechanic here has ground a socket flush to provide maximum contact and bite on a low profile fastener. Quinn's sockets are just on the acceptable side. This advice also applies to the box end of combination wrenches. So check them closely... a cheaper wrench that works well is better than a frustrating, more expensive option. For what it's worth, The Gear Wrench sockets I bought for my sons have a ridiculously deep chamfer, causing a lot of fastener damage. They are disappointing. Their ratchet combos are pretty awesome, but I won't buy their sockets again.
4. The Quinn tools are quite good for the casual wrench or homeowner. They are more than enough for most jobs. They are a decent cheap option for a kit to throw in the trunk of your car. The metallurgy is fair, so they count on a thicker wall and hard chrome to make up for it. I have split them, both sockets and wrenches, because once the hard chrome gives up, they are actually on the brittle side. Again, they are darned good for the price as a homeowner's tool. If you are serious about your work and use the tools all day, I have found the ICON products to be indistinguishable from my Snap-On tools, especially the combo wrenches and socket/ratchet pairings. The tool truck guy pissed me off about 5 years ago, so I fired him and picked up some ICON stuff for everyone in my shop to try. They love them, and so do I. Plus, there's a Harbor Freight on every corner these days, so convenience is awesome.
Tools are like guns and jewelry. They are kept for a lifetime by most people, and become heirlooms. So while I have spent a WHOLE bunch of money over the decades on Snap-On, I would not buy them unless you plan to really use the hell of of them, or want tools that you can pass down. As a professional, I would fully endorse the ICON products. Otherwise, it is wise to shop around and spend a bit more on quality tools if the budget allows. Do not go broke trying to flex with a pretty Snap-On chest and tools.
I think Quinn has done a great job with these master sets !! Their comfort grip ratchets are really nice too !!
Thanks for sharing! Praying 🙏🏻 for your paw paw and family
Thank you so much
$99 it's hard to beat the Gearwrench 106 pc set. You get the 1/4 and 3/8. All the sockets and no skips
We will have to check it out
You are correct at that price point. Home Depot quickly raised the price to 154 here from that special once at 99
I noticed that. Glad I got when was $99.
The Quinn set reminds me a lot of the tekton 1/4” set especially the hard handle ones. It would make a good comparison.
I’ll have to check that out
you can order icon sockets separately off their parts catalog. you can find that along with the phone number you have to call on their website.
Thanks for the info
I worked on a farm the owner had old wore out equipment he bought that quinn socket set and it worked just as good as any tool truck brand
Prayers for Papaw. May God put his hands on Papaw and all the caretakers
Walmart Hyper Tough sockets use the red and blue stripes too. I believe the same usage too. Red SAE and blue meteric.
I haven't compared their smaller sockets and ratchets, but I do know the basic Made in India Pittsburgh combination wrenches and the Hyper Tough ones are absolutely identical. I have a set of Hyper Tough 1/2" sockets I bought as a beater set, I have been very impressed by those sockets, both in fit and finish, and strength..I use them regularly with one of those extra long Pittsburgh 1/2" breaker bars...
@@dyer2cycle I love the 25 inch Pittsburgh breaker bars from Harbor Freight. I've bought a bunch of them back when they were $14.00 with coupon....(probably won't see that price anytime soon), and gave them out as presents to friends and family. Those things just plain work.
I recently bought one of the 12V 3/8 drive cordless Hyper Tough impact wrenchs from Walmart, on clearance no less, and have been eyeing one of the Quinn 3/8 impact socket sets with the extensions to mate up with it. Walmart doesn't carry 3/8 drive impact sockets so I'll definitely go with the Quinn set. They just finished their sidewalk sale where they had them on sale....but I missed it. I'll have to watch for a coupon special on one.
I think the quinn is the best buy for the dollar.
I bought a Quinn dial caliper at harbor freight. It's beautifully made. Good job Quinn.
I bought a Quinn veneer caliper. The only store bought caliper I bought that passed inspection at my work. 👍
Quinn is a great brand
They are
I have the 1/4 set and the 3/8 set and I'd really like them
They are nice
The screwdriver handle included with the Quinn set is modeled after a Snap-On. I have an old Snap-On handle exactly like it I got from somewhere years ago. But the 1/4" adapter part on the top of mine is broken from being old and abused. I don't ever use it for anything it's just kind of there. I have a proper set of handled nut drivers with hollow shanks for that kind of stuff. :)
I'd like to see either replace the fixed head with a flex head ratchet, or add a flex head ratchet to both kits. I would like to see a handle on the Quinn case also. Great comparison and I think I'll be getting the Quinn line and keep them in my truck box as I RV around the country. Thanks for sharing.
I have both the 1/4 and 3/8 sets. The ratchets are rebranded Gearwrench. Excellent sets especially with the coupon!
I am still working with a Huskey master set 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2" - I have not yet moved up to anything better, money is always the issue but for what I need them for it works good for me. I am always looking for sales and such on something a little better. Thanks for the video.
Sweet video
Husky is good
@@jimprice8557 Yea I have had no real issues with them. Maybe in tight spots it is a little hard sometimes but I have been over all happy with the set. Like many guys, want more then I really need,
Thanks, Husky is awesome
@@PriceKustoms Yea it works for what I need. It was a Christmas present from my father and it will be something I will always cherish
great job guys, I have the quinn 1/4 set as well as ive had the tekton 1/4 set for 6yrs, The quinn is based on tekton set. If im not mistaken on harbor freight website it says to compare the quinn to tekton. Overall im happy with the quinn set. Cheaper than the tekton set, i wanna say i paid 70dllrs for the tekton many years ago, been very pleased with,I dont own the icon set, at least not yet, obviously its modeled after the newer snap on sets. Thanks for the videos guys, God Bless!
Great video
Thanks buddy, God Bless
I have a Quinn tool set and I love it.
They both are great
They really are great
Agree
My thought is that foam is going to get nasty and oily after a while unless you wipe off your toools every time you put it back even during a job to keep them from rolling around
I bought the 3/8" Quinn master set and it's been solid. I didn't like how the drive was getting reamed out from being used on my impact, so I bought Quinn's 3/8" impact set. It's also been great.
Now I'm searching for a 1/4" set for the smaller work and I think I'm gonna stay with the blue team.
I would pick the Quinn. Great value for less money! Excellent head-to-head comparison, gentlemen!
I tried to pick up the mini ratchet set 32 piece today, they didn't have any in stock..The ratchet that fits in your pocket .I'm hoping they come out with ratchet bits .I bought the 1/4 inch Pittsburgh ratchet, 6 inch with the swivel, nice piece...And I bought the 8 piece Quinn sockets..
Great video
They have good tools
I just got the Quinn, and it is the best bang for your buck for a 1/4 drive, especially when it was 20% off. Both are great, but the icon would be better if it included the 4mm, 4.5, and 1/4" bit adaptor. When these are in use, you are going for a 1/4" because of a small space or fastener. Having all of the small sockets is almost a must for me.
The purpose of screwdrivers 1/4-in square and the top is for you to put the screwdriver itself on the ratchet and then you can use the handle of the screwdriver to turn the extension
Thanks
Good video
Thanks
Is that not exactly what he just showed in the video?? lol 😂 8:25
I've never regretted buying a Quinn hand tool as they carry the same lifetime warranty as the icon tools do. For something like a crash kit to keep in the car this is perfect. Cheap enough you can just buy it and stick it behind the seat without any guilt about maybe never using it. Of course, you need the 3/8 set for that as well.
Not all Quinn tools have the lifetime warranty.
@@brandonrowland819 Some things, like the digital torque adapters, don't. I did specify hand tools and practically all of the hand tools do.
My items that I purchased that I like so far is the icon knife purchased one then another with a 15% discount also off road jack and Badlands winch 12k lb. With the hitch mount And optivisor with LED light very good also ! Especially for the price.
I would like to see differnt mechanics tool sets that have cases.
That set looks great Quinn is going to win
Look forward to the new video drops
Thanks buddy
Just came across this channel! I just became a new subscriber and really having enjoyed your review of the icon and Quinn tools!
I really like the way you both do your reviews and will keep your grandfather in our prayers !!
For the money you can't beat either of these tools.I would'nt spend 4x the price for a snap on or Mac that the quinn or icon does the same thing.
I love the case as well. The tools snap in and dont get scattered. The Dewalt socket set is like that and its my favorite socket set ever. I wouldn't hesitate to get this Quinn set either. Nice tool set. Good review, thanks for the info fellas.
If you lose a Icon socket or wrench, just know that Carlisle is IDENTICAL! Add a Carlylse 15mm and 5/8” quarter drive sockets short,mid ,and long to round your 1/4” set. Get a Carlysle mid length sets to round out your Icons 1/4,3/8 and 1/2” sets
Good to know
I have been looking for the screwdriver/extension. I use the screw a lot at work.
It’s awesome
Quinn for the win
Yes
Yes
Quinn for the win. The quality is close but the price difference is huge.
That is true!
Your right
Me too slim
I f your a member or use a coupon you get these a lot cheaper 20 to 30% off plus they go on sale all the time.
i like more Quinn layout
The Quinn is nice
Me too
Agree
That is a very hard decision because I really like icon and I like Quinn but months back before the icon set came out I bought the Quinn and I'm very happy with it. Oh by the way you two guys miss something like where are these made let me help you with that could it be Taiwan for both of them🌎😂😂😂
Cool video
Both are good
Great videos all the time
Thanks buddy
Oh and another great thing about icon is socket storage is outrageous if you want something nice and not plastic junk so the foam is nice for you tool box i see the foam alone as 50 dollar plus savings
Yall this was a fun video to watch!
One thing I think you guys missed is the icon you can pull out the organizer and put it rigth in your tool box
I think harbor freight is trying to be the new sears/craftsman good cheap tools with no questions replacement warranty.
I knew hunter was going to say icon lol. Need that video I suggested before!
Wish there was two videos a week
That would be cool
I would like to see a video about the Icon 1/2 flex head comfort grip rachet to the Die Hard 1/2 flex head comfort grip That would be so Awesome Thanks
Is the tolerance of Quinn sockets tight ? I see many like Autozone and Husky that are lose fitting and focus the torque on the corners
I want to get the 3/8 Quinn set to have in my suv for emergencies
Wondered why I wasn't seeing your videos. You Tube unsubscribed me. Might want to remind everybody to check.
Same
I use the 4mm socket on briggs single cylinder intek carburetor studs.
Best car/tool channel out there
Thanks buddy
I prefere the quinn for low profile the icon ratche it to bolky
Agree
The low profile is nice
Guys, you know what I noticed on the sockets the icon I believe has a better finish on the inside, which it might matter or not but in cleaning up your sockets, it might matter
Guys just remember both sets don't include mid length sockets in both metric an sae too??compared to the snap on set too...and the snap on set goes to 15 mm. And 5/8 on sale too...but they still good too..
It also cost $1000 more dollars 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. Sorry about your father in law i hope he gets better.
Great video as always
Agree
Thanks we really do appreciate it
Love the tools
They are great
Me too
Wow. You can buy 2 Quinn sets for the price of one Icon
Awesome video
Same
Thanks
Thanks we appreciate it
More tool videos
Will do
Cool video
Thanks we really appreciate it
Yep
Great video!!!
Thanks we appreciate it
Agree
Love the video
Thanks we really appreciate it
Me too
@@PriceKustoms awesome
Quinn equals pure junk. Ratchets stripped out first use on 2 different sets I bought for our service trucks. Garbage.
What is the difference in pricing?
Wait 5-14 vs 4 -14 is only 1 socket difference.
The Quinn has a 4.5mm also making it a 2 socket difference.
Yea Quinn is a no brainer! They have a 20% off on all Quinn until September 9th!
Yeah 40 bucks for the 1/4 set isn't bad at all, I paid the same for my gearwrench set 2 years ago.
@@Ninoo187 yea I can’t complain, I just need the 3/8 now and I’m set
@@Danielxperez14 get the impact version of the 3/8 Quinn set. It includes, adapter, extensions and swivels. Don't waste your money on chromes when it comes to 3/8.
@@Ninoo187I already have 3/8 master impact set from Sunex that I love paired with my m12 stubby but I use 3/8 chrome a lot when doing water pumps, fluid changes, alternators, spark plugs coils etc, small things like that, but everyone’s different
@@Danielxperez14 fair to say, I'm always on the go. So only having impacts make sense to me, I do own chrome tho.
I have so many socket brands i love my snap on but my tekton and icon i can see a difference in quality but the Taiwanese sockets are just getting so good its hard to justify 5 times the price but again dont get me wrong snap on is best for me everyones needs and wants are different nobody cares what brand your sockets are in your driveway or garage its all personal preference
My snapon 1/4” extensions knurlings are literally non existent. I can see the lines but cant feel anything
Personally Quinn is the obvious choice with more tools less money
I go icon every time
For me it’s a no brainer. Same quality, more tools and half the price
That is true!
Good video
Icon for the win
It’s good
Yes
continued prayers for healing in Jesus name! I got the icon set for around $75 when they had that coupon and like it alot except hard for me to read the numbers .but i dont think id pay more than that
I have never had a problem with harbor freight never not honoring there tools or any Quinn tools even with or without a receipt i just show the cashier the damage and the cashier always just tells me too go get a replacement off the shelf and thats it no problem what so ever
You like. Icon. Because you are a snap on fan boy. Quin is good it's a step above. Pittsburgh. . And Pittsburgh isl not that bad for prices.
I think the Quinn set use to be the Duralast set they sell at auto zone. They have the same color coating and I swear I have that same ratchet
Probably
4mm use 1/4 inch ratchet i would never use 3/8 ratchet with a 4mm
It has a wobble in it. Not a great selling point. And neither one of those boxes has a carrying handle. Quinn for the win.
I’m convinced that Quinn set is made by Apex.
I’d rather have the foam. The high contrast and separation makes it much easier to spot if you’ve left something somewhere.
The gears on the quinn are probably thinner and more prone to failure
to me you want wobble in tight spaces
If i would by any harbor junk tools i would definitely buy the Quinn the copyon is overpriced garbage i would rather by tekton over both brands
That's not true. The same Taiwanese company branding for tekton brands a lot of these. I work at a international truck dealership and I put some icon shit through hell. Of course I have snap on and cornwell shit to. But for the price it's just as good as any matco tool at half the price, because matco doesn't make tools. Hell, icons 58" prybar is USA made by mayhew. They make everybody's prybars besides snap on.
@Yonny316 Quinn ratchets are the same as gear wrench. Icon is the same as die hard and some bs brand on Amazon. And yes the big pry bar is mayhew. Tekton warranty is the best I don't have to play games and drive around. Just send a picture and it's done. Noticed lately the icon stuff as far as sockets and ratchets go are total garbage.
@markusa5521 you gotta wait 2 days for that shit to come in the mail. You're a casual. You haven't even given it a chance. If it works fine for me it definitely will work fine for doing oil changes on your moms subaru.
I think you have to take the whole set in if you break something
Who freak'n cares about the case..
Men that actually transport their tools 🤓db
What your nit picking on these sets litteraly makes no sense its 1/4 your not breaking lug nuts off a wheel jesus!
I’m going to try
Icon is overpriced junk at harbor freight quality
I've been putting it to the test and this just isn't true. And I go hard af at a truck dealership. Icon prybars are made by mayhew in the USA. They make every prybar you've ever bought besides snap on or china.
I am not a fan of the Quinn line. I would go with Pittsburgh pro or icon.
Whys that if you don’t mind me asking?
Same stuff, the return policy is also the same
I’m a mobile forklift tech , I’m sorry but I’ll pass. But if it works for you and YOU like…..blessings to you. Keep making vids guys.
Nice tools
They are!!!
They are
I am more sold on the Quinn.
