This was a very cool video and informative. Thanks to the shop owner for having you come in & do a video explaining how he uses everything. Keep up the good work!
Great video. This guy was explaining why he spent money on the tools he did. He wasn't selling anything. Really appreciate a real techs take and opinion. This is the guy would be consulted with for new ideas. He's not a fan boy just someone who isn't afraid to spend money for quality. I use the frw11 with the nano socketsn, awesome combination.
I daily carry a Vim Tool HBR3 and I love it. I carry it in a pocket tool pouch with like 90 different bits, because I deal with so many different screws. It's saved me and others so many times. I was able to open furnaces and different car parts more times than I can count. Reason why I went with the HBR3, I deal with construction screws and the other side you can get alot of torque on to save the ratchet from stripping. I bought a few of them so I can have 1 in my motorcycle jacket, toolbox, my pocket tool pouch, and a few extra. I gave 1 to my Aunt and she loves it.
I can relate; I do maintenance, main line and warranty repairs for the local police dept at my dealership, and VIM Tools is a life and time saver for many of the repairs I do!! Keep up the great work, guys, it's GREATLY appreciated!!
I also prefer this type of hands on vs breaking video. Interviewing different shops and applications, different techs, is greatly appreciated. I have been accumulating a few VIM tools because of the famous Clay!!!! Thanks fellows!!
Clay back in the day I installed stereos and aftermarket stuff and they did not have a lot of tools for tight access so you had your big o set of craftsman tools you would lug around from dealer to dealer. I don't miss those days Glad to see VIM is there for the techs today. 🔧🔧🔧🔧
Thanks for focusing on one of the least known automotive tech specialties. Emergency vehicle upfitting is a very niche trade and we often have to find tool solutions from other parts of the industry, as no tool manufacturers really support the work with dedicated tools.
looks like Vim is Rebranding Blue point tools as snap on under Blue point has been making these tools and kits for as far back as I can remember buying the ones i have 20 years and looks like they are rebranding Tekz storage containers and Screw drivers
@@SaerTurner-wn2qh Perhaps I’m reading your post wrong, but VIM is the OEM for those kits, not Blue Point or Snap On. VIM sells these items to other tool brands who resell them.

I like this type of video much better than the beat-til-it-breaks ones.

Vim Tools are the preferred tools of the propane and propane accessory industry.

Hello again, Clay
It's my pleasure to meet you, Phillip. I enjoyed watching tonight's video. Thank you 😊
Such a great video that wasn't just testing but proven uses for the tools.
Crimper is the exact same import as Mac, OTC, Carlyle, etc. And what a surprise, twice the price.
Great video!!!
Agree on locking flex heads ratcheting tools. I do want the magnetic stuff and trying out those wire stripper/crimpers
Makes me want vim alot more
9:03 Most every mechanic likes a premium stripper
i try to maintain standards but i admit my strippers are not always premium😁
What does he mean those stripes are about the same price as cheap ones they are like$55

VIM manufactures their own tools...
