It's because us mechanics always have dirty hands and people that judgy as f*** so it's easier just to wear gloves and not have to worry about it@@dylanbachora8939
I recently found one in the middle of a busy intersection and decided to pick it up. Once i did it was roughed up as cars went over it many times over and was surprised to see it still worked perfectly. Banged up but not broken so definitely can say that its a workhorse and you can light up a house with it and lasts forever on high
Nice video it nice to see guys on here not bash harbor freight or icon some of us men can’t afford snap on or Mattco I’ll settle for Pittsburgh, pro or icon
I wish more manufacturers would make the swivels a bit less flexible or stiffer. Good to see the 3/8" and 1/2" held but would have liked to see how they would have held up with long sockets. Pliers seem great. Nice haul 👍. Kudos from NYC 🗽.
Just want to say I appreciate you discussing your experiences with each style of tool, or how you’ve wished you had that style of tool. I’ve been beginning to learn how to work on my car and motorcycle and I appreciate you sharing perspectives that I might not have awareness to. The tool community can get pretty try-hardy to where it doesn’t really feel worth asking questions to gatekeepers. Nice work on the video, I’ll keep an eye out for your stuff.
I'd highly recommend the Full Bank - awesome amount of storage vs. the 5-drawer. I've got a couple of videos on my channel about my transition from the 5-drawer to the Full Bank.
I do believe the full bank cart would fit what I’m looking for. I do need some charging space for my power tools + I can add the 5 drawer cart accessories to it and have the best of both worlds. I’ll be sure to check out your video!
12:38... Is anytime you need to make a mark on steel, plastic or poke a hole.... push through something....they come in handy....🤔 23:00...Bondhus makes those "allen" hex keys... they're a good set...(exact same colors in the same orientation...identical)...I have the "half cut" set..they're inexpensive enough to get both sets... I have that light too...VERY good light...☝️
Only thing I can think of is when take my driveshaft off or distributor and need to mark off it's original placement. I typically use an Inkzall but I guess this could also work. I'm sure this will come in handy sometime down the road
People only buy icon bc deep down they want snap on but can't afford or don't want to spend the money. So they buy icon bc they look the same. But in reality, for the price of the icon stuff, there are much better options.
I’m so confused I see so many of these tool hall videos with mechanics wearing gloves I just built a five story 66 units luxury apartment with commercial buildings underneath it took three years never wore a pair of gloves once. Do mechanics have soft, girly hands? How do you expect to manage working on steel motors and cars if you can’t manage to handle a box made up of soft cardboard? And by the way, I started out as a mechanic. It leaves me wondering our cars getting stronger or men getting weaker.
I was lucky enough to be able to purchase more than 1 tool a day. I’d visit multiple stores and sometimes had to make separate transactions to make it work.
The universal joint f****** things I like grenades whatever you put them on an impact but whatever it's tight and it's slicks just f****** f**** off then who the f*** knows land
Just curious, why are you wearing the work gloves in the video?
I think it's a youtube thing sometimes. Some people might think it seems more professional in a way.

If it works and seems to be decent, it’ll end up making its way into my tool set. Hard to beat the value that these tools give!

Just wrap some tape around the joint ,stiffens it up but still has enough flex in it
@@ianwindley70 Thank you for the suggestion, I will try that.

Totally hear you on people gate keeping (losers lol) nothing better than learning how to DIY with tools that just work
Great unboxing of your new tools! Wish I would’ve taken advantage of the sale and gotten some of those Icon pliers and ball hex keys.
It's so hard to resist that extra 25% off let me tell ya!

I have 3 34” full bank carts, 2 5 drawers carts and 3 26” rollers. Each one of them serves their purpose.
Wonder when they will have icon sale again
Add an o-ring at the pivot point and it will stiffen them so they will not flop over

Heat shrink tubing boss I put it on all my universal joints
I think at the end of this month they have tool carts for 200 sale.
memorial day coming up is another 25% off
I'll definitely look to add a few more tools if this ends up being the case
Great haul ❤️👍

Why did that require gloves??
The double ended box wrenches as you call them are just plain old ring spanners here in the uk, nothing specialty about them
I don't like watching gloves on unboxing videos idk why

Give the brother a break
Damn yeah it was 25% off of 1 Icon tool so did you pay full price for the rest?

Don't use tape use O rings old school trick.
It was 25% off 1 icon tool. But hey i cant complain about that.
You can go multiple times in a day or bring someone with u and u both can use it or go to multiple stores in a day
