Interesting

Good info

If fuses are good. Check the contacts where the bulbs touch and close it in more to get better contact. Start there.

@ thx man imma try tomorrow

Hmmmm that's good to know

Mine cut off when the bass is too much. Other than that, mine has been fine.

Shifter linkage is out of position. The one at the transmission. Gotta adjust it again.

First gen might have problems. If you get one try and get second gen. It's a fantastic impact.

Yea, it was my first time dealing with it. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

Well, technically, there is a problem. Impact shouldn't stop working completely out of nowhere. Then, a couple of days later, it starts working like normal. Own multiple DeWalt impact and never had it happen to any but this. Now, if they open it up, maybe there a loose connection? Something corroded or burnt? I mean an inspection of some sort. Maybe this first-generation impact had problems because, at this point, I have an impact that might wanna work sometimes, maybe not depending on how it feels. And to me, that's not normal Dewalt standards. But to a degree, I get what you are saying.

It sucks to switch platforms because I'm a big fan of DeWalt, and this is the only impact I have bought from them that's giving me problems. But knowing they are the only place I have to deal with if something goes wrong sucks. They didn't outright deny it more like no effort whatsoever to try and figure out the problems. Telling the customer it's better to completely break it before you bring it in, Intermittent problem, I guess they don't deal with or want to deal with. I don't agree with that.

@@stangculture it does suck to switch, I personally have an impact in 4 platforms just so if one brand does me wrong I'm not having to drop thousands switching all my tools to another line. hopefully you get it fixed soon. dewalt has the xr 961 which in theory is the strongest cordless impact.

@TOOL_TECHNICAL I'm actually gonna get that one. Waiting till black Friday, maybe deals will pop up with it. Milwaukee I wanna get there angled impact.

@@stangculture I have the m12 fuel impact as well, gets into tight spots with little issue (apart from some centered brake lines that need universal bits to get you socket on). But, if you looking for something with 50 more ft lbs of torque ridgid dropped their brushless right angle impact wrench not too long ago and it is solid as well.

@TOOL_TECHNICAL Oh yea, I saw a video about that. Impressive numbers from Ridgid. Gonna check that out. Thanks for reminding me.

Yea it does suck a lot

For less than USD200 I bought a full "set" of Gearwrench 90t ratchets on sale: - 3pce 1/4, 2/8, 1/2 locking flex head - 3pce 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 fixed head - 2pce 3/8 compact head I'm sure the Matco ratchet is nice, but is it worth 8 Gearwrench 90T ratchets?

Great point, I thought about that comparison before. Multiple decent ratchets compared to 1 really good ratchet. For the most part, it makes sense to get multiple decent ratchets compared to 1 for the price you're paying. For me personally, I just like to have a couple of very solid ratchets. Matco and Gearwrench are very comparable, I just like the color and feel of matco better. I love the purple from Matco. Eighty8 feels really good for me, enough to make me spend more on them. But yea, for 95% of people. Make sense to go and get 8 Gearwrench compared to 1 Matco ratchet.

Yea Koken ratchets are very, very smooth. Their handle is just a little too small for my preference.

@@stangculture Can't argue with you there. They're definitely made for smaller hands.

Agreed I'm a fan

I like some of their hand tools. I got Spark Plug sockets from them.

I think that depends on your truck/franchise person regardless of Snap-On or Matco. They both have Lifetime Warranty, Unless you're abusing the tool, I don't see why they won't warranty it.

I agree with a lot of your points. The Gearwrench comparison I heard about never looked into it, Gearwrench themselves make good ratchets.

Ehhh anything will break. Snap-On more smooth overall ratcheting wise. But all together, I think Matco is slightly better design and all.

@@stangculture lol matco is the only ratchet ive ever broken and i treat all my ratchets the same

@jamesbasye2362 I never had a problem with mine. Sorry to hear that about yours.

@@stangculture lol thats the funny part was not mine shop bought the ratchet, i just expect more from a 270 dollar ratchet, if its not capable of breaking some nuts loose for an alignment without breaking it kindve makes me not want to use it

@@jamesbasye2362 So you were using the 1/2? I'm assuming Flex head Eighty8?

Both cold start, but alright.

Indeed

I like there sockets lol

I heard they make great tools

Over time, you get a feel on how much pressure one exerts on bolts to not snap them. Use a tool long enough, and you will get there.

I heard about Williams. Blue Point is good, too.

@@stangculture I have Bahco socket sets, the ratchets are also sold under Bluepoint branding. Lower tooth count (60 or 72, can't remember), moderately high backdrag and short handles. Believe it or not you can buy Snapon dual 80 mechanism ratchets with Bahco branding (eg Bahco 7750) I've used and abused the Bahco sets in the field without issues and thought they were great until I upgraded to GW 90T ratchets. Didn't know what I was missing until I used the 90T locking flex head 1/2", practically effortless in comparison with a handle more than twice as long, and much lower backdrag

@scod3908 Gearwrench is good for the price. I was looking at the 120xp line, but I heard that, for some reason, the 90T performs better. I'll do research on the Bahco.

@@stangculture my impression is that the parent company limits the Bahco range to general industry to avoid it eating into their automotive focussed snap-on and blue-point lines. Their are some great deals available without the snap-on tax though!

Just say your broke and cant afford quality tools lol

Your financially poor

Looks like a HOBO Freight customer has chimed in.

Yea, a lot of people don't like the 100tooth. Dual 80, I think, is the smoothest ratchet in the market.

@@stangculture I would try the Cornwell 120tooth. I own about seven or eight dual 80s and two Cornwell 120 tooth. I love them!

I would definitely do that, Thanks for the recommendation!

Have you ever tried to lube up the gears a little to see if it made a difference?

Damn that sucks. Agreed Matco and Snap for me.

Titan ratchets are jyst garbage anyway..stick with Tekton, ICON or Gearwrench..they're better than Titan all day

I was talking to a Snap-On dealer about an hour ago. Apparently, some have the problem, and some don't. He just warranty them out, he said.

@@stangculturethey fixed the issues with the second round of ratchets. The first round did have issues. The two main corrections were a more substantial spring washer so you can tighten the flex head to hold its position and they added more superlube during assembly which fixed the smoothness / backdrag issue. It is slightly less smooth than the Dual 80 but that’s because it has 20 more positions while being stronger. They have not fixed that lever issue, but, to be honest, I’ve never once had an issue with that.

@asmautollc Thank you for that info. I did not know that.

@@stangculture at Snap on pricing, that's not acceptable. I have over a dozen gearwrench 90T ratchets in locking flex, fixed and compact variants. The QC isn't perfect, but even the one with a lot of axial play in the anvil still functions without issue They were on sale for ~USD70 per 3 piece locking flex head set and ~USD60 for fixed which is why I bought doubles for spares. Haven't broken a single one yet Seems like Snap On dropped the ball with these new ratchets

@@scod3908 You got a point there

Ehhhh idk about that

Well said. Agreed.

Yes, i am soft-spoken. I enjoy the polyester fleece.

Thanks for the suggestion lol

@@shaunclancey1107 I want the nickle plated locking flexhead from matco.

Ehhhh maybe Craftsmans now. V series is good for me.

Clearly you do NOT use tools all day, every day. For years.

@@1madmaxx80 I've been an aircraft mechanic for almost 50 years.

Hogwash lame excuse. I'm 60 been wrenching my whole life. I have snap on and many other brands and they hold up just as good as over priced snap on I paid. Get off your high horse

@@williamsanders3182 Respectfully, that is quite easy on tools.

I haven't tried that brand. Might consider it.

@@stangculturetry Koken’s nut-grip sockets too. They have a ball detent to hold your bolt. With a tiny little steel ball. You might think that one day that retainer spring is going to get ripped right out of there. But no matter! They have tiny little repair kits for each and every socket! I have them in both 1/4” & 3/8” drive. No sign of them ever going to need repair. I have Koken Z ratchets too. They’re just obviously better than anything else. The first time you pick one up you can feel it.

@davehaggerty3405 So I was gonna buy the Koken 3726Z-280 ratchet. You're right. it's butter smooth and nothing like it. But for me personally, the grip is small, and I heard Koken kinda iffy with their warranty. But yes, I heard about the sockets. I'm looking into it.

@@stangculture yup, right on both counts. When Koken entered the US market they had no warranty. They said if you break a Koken ratchet it’s abuse. (They ain’t wrong). Distributers convinced Koken to add a warranty. But it ain’t an “all perils” warranty like SnapOn, Tekton etc. which is fine by me. I don’t want to pay for a warranty for someone else to abuse their tools. The handle is a little small. But comfortable. And durable. Koken doesn’t have long handled ratchets. Even their long ratchets are just a little longer than a normal ratchet. And they’re kind of hefty for a little ratchet. If you had one in your hand all day, everyday that would matter to you. But they’re good for me. A strong little ratchet for tight spaces. It never skips and almost no back drag. Pretty nice when I can only get one hand in there. If I have the room I’m in there with some sort of power tool! My 3/8 Astro Nano impact is my favorite. Thinking of getting a Milwaukee 12V ratchet. Small & light. I have a lot of Milwaukee stuff.

@davehaggerty3405 Lots of good points. Future wise, I might just get one and buy a rebuild kit with it just to have it on hand.

Yea it's a different feeling definitely

Agreed

The Powertorque?

@@stangculture yeah.

@@gtcam723 Possibly tbh.
