I Overextensioned Myself on the Snap On Tools Truck

- My Snap On dealer made his long awaited return to the truck this week, and I got to shopping! Truthfully, I am running out of stuff to buy! That being said, I picked up a few things on this trip and will pick up a few more in the future.
What should I buy next?

My use case for the scrapers is …..everything. You’ll see. And if you go with a full 1/2 inch socket set, go with impact. If you need thinner wall chrome, get just what sizes you need. And that shroud over the magnet is to keep it from grabbing metal things on the side of where you are trying to grab forward. However, sometimes you need to drop in a magnet and have it grab to the side and thus slide up the shroud and it will grab in all directions.
I figured as much, where theres something to be scraped, theres a scraper for the job! I fear I may've already placed the order for the chromies before your comment came through (the promo attached to them was too good to pass up). Thank you for clarifying what that magnet shroud is for, i'm not sure I ever would've figured it out.
I love how we’re just watching this guy fall into a full blown addiction haha 🤣. All serious though great video, keep up the great work.
Quite the social experiment we have going on here 😅
I once knew a man addicted to crack, he frequently would rave about his dealer and what a great deal he was getting. Similarities are frightening. Do you really need a tool that is 10% better in durability but cost 300% the price?
@@Ratchet313I don't think it's a question of "need." More like "want." A desire. A quest, if you will. And following Peter on his journey is immensely entertaining!
Just to let you know those aren't carbide scrapers, they are regular old carbon steel (nothing wrong with that it's all I've ever used). Sure know that Snap-On truck feeling way back from 1984 when I was just 17 and skint, it never leaves you! New sub from England. P.S. I use plastic scrapers on the lawnmower, saves the paint!
The sliding portion of the magnet allows you to slide it down into somewhere that you don't want the magnet to stick to. That piece won't stick to metal and it allows you to get to where you need to go without the magnet getting caught up.
Makes total sense, but I don't think I ever would've figured this out. Thank you!
You deserve more subscribers, I enjoy your content. Keep it up man!
I appreciate you saying that, Dillan. TH-cam is funny, sometimes they really push my videos, and other times not so much. Hopefully we can get to 10,000 this year, that is a critical objective so as to unblock purchasing the Snap On toolbox 😅

I just got a new snap on dealer and its crazy being on a new truck. He has been making magic happen getting me old promo power blue hard handle ratchets.
Nice! A good dealer makes all the difference
Entertaining video once again! One of my favourite tool channels to watch nowadays.
Thanks so much!
I love the foam, it looks great. All that foam and plastic take up a lot of room in your box. I usually end up getting rid of it after a while.
I think the idea is to collect all the ractchets. I prefer the chrome handles. A pipe fits over it and you don't mess up the handle.
I always seem to leave the truck with another pair of pliers. It hard to get out of the truck without somethimg something.
Love the videos. You do a great job.
Thanks, Don! I agree, the organization stuff takes up a ton of room but for now I appreciate it. Once I run out of room in a bigger box, I’ll probably end up discarding it.
@@HeyDerFolks The foam I give back to my dealer he gets rid of it. Someone will want it.
You're where I was at a year and a half ago when I was stricken with the Snap-on addiction. I now have 2, 68in epiq roll cabs with a top box and workcenter, 36in top and bottom, a locker and overheads. They're filled. And I'm broke! My snappy dealer bought a new truck... I also have a similar milwaukee setup for my woodworking tools. Kindred spirits, I think!
Kindred spirits indeed, Ned. Sounds like you have quite the setup, i'm still working through my Snap On wishlist slowly but surely.
Do you really get the benefit of those tools to the tune of being broke? Unless those tools are making you money (or you’re just independently wealthy) why spend 5 to 10 times as much for a comparable tool you could pick up at Lowe’s/Home Depot.
@aeromedical6776 For me, the cost analysis is deeper than "tools that make money." There is cost avoidance on the other side of the equation. Not having to replace tools that fail more often is avoiding spending valuable time having to travel for the replacement. HD / HF / Lowes do not carry comparable tools. Their warranty is for when you need it. Snap-on is for IF you need it. There is also insurance in quality tools. When a cheap tool fails, there is a much higher risk of it taking you with it. A $500 ER copay is greater than a high-quality wrench set. Factor in the lost time from injury, and the cost increases exponentially. The best reason for buying Snap-on is for the piece of mind they bring to any given job. I know I'm holding the best tool available, generally. If frustration starts to rear its ugly head, I know to question my approach to the problem and not hurl the tool across the shop. You can't put a price on that.
I hated flex heads then I bought one. Man I love them now
The quarter inch game is impressive! Love a good cabin air filter story!
I like a flex head ratchet it’s more useful because if you’re undoing bolts and you can’t use a extension you can just move it out and it’s easier
I Love the swivel head ratchets, especially the 1/4” swivel head, as you can use it like a screwdriver or you can angle it in any condition to access your work. Wobble plus extensions are great, but I use my MAC 1/4” impact rated Locking extensions 3”, 6”, 12, 24” for almost everything.
Magnet is protected on sidewall by that Shroud Cover to access deep into engine bay or blind hole without the magnet attaching it self to sidewall of entry.
Scrapers are good for carpentry, paint & putty removal or sealant removal, etc…..a real multi use tool.
I out red Locktite on screw of my flex head and it will tighten the joint perfectly
wait till you get a bit older and your fingers get stiff the soft grip is so good and also consider quick realise it makes life so much better.
Ya, I’ve heard similar in the past especially in regards to straight chrome ratchets. Hoping these tools grow with me over time
You won’t like the wobble plus..I traded my back in and bought separate, wobble and straight quarter inch. You’ll find with wobble plus when you need the wobble and press on your socket, the socket has a tendency to get pushed on the straight. Happened to me too many times and as a mechanic by trade, it became frustrating. Digging your new summer hat..👊🏻🇺🇸
Same here traded mine in for same reason
Get the wobble that locks it's the locking wobble extension. The reason for retracted collet on the magnet pick up tool is when your going into a confined space you don't keep hitting the surface surroundings that metal
1/4 locking extensions are a game changer. All locking extensions are a game changer. Good purchases. I agree with you that the 100 tooth ratchets are not ready for prime time yet.
Thanks! When they're ready, i'll be sure to pick one up (for science, of course).
the urban sombrero
Blows my mind how much people will pay for foam. Empty foam costs nearly as much as the tools that go in them.
magnets set is new! They only got limited quantity on each truck for testing! Always the case for new products.
You mentioned the toothbrush, Snap On does have a razor doesn’t have the instinct handle however it does except Gillette Mach 3 blades. I believe that the toothbrush would be an absolute hit.🎉🎉 love your videos keep it up and remember, there’s no crying in tool hauling!!!
The little collar on the magnet head..is to stop you from getting it stuck when your trying to get it down in a tight spot. Imagine trying to grab a bolt you dropped in a engine bay..every time you extend it down to pick it up with the magnet but the magnet gets magnetized on everything metal that's around it. The collar stops that.
Makes total sense!
The collar on the magnet keeps the magnet from grabbing other metal you don’t want as you dive into the bolt you dropped. Then when it’s time to grab the bolt the collar slides up. It’s genius.
Genius, indeed! I never would've stumbled upon that, but it makes total sense. Very cool design.
I'm a fan of the wobble plus extensions. I've got them in 1/4" & 3/8" sets.
Nice! I think they're going to work well for my use case(s), super versatile.
More pliers/ cutters!!
Few more pliers on my list to pickup. I want the high leverage and the 13” long handle long nose
Checkout the CTS861 screw gun for your next purchase. Get the Snap-on Long bit sets to go with it. Greatest Snap-on tool ever made
High praise! I actually just picked up the Milwaukee Installation Driver and need to do a video on it. I'm hesitant to add another battery platform to the mix, but i've only ever heard good things about the Snap On stuff with those toggle triggers. Will keep it in mind!
Stop buying snapon tools! You're driving my snapon addiction farther haha
Ha, i'm trying, Benjamin! Unfortunately every time I get on the truck I see something that just has to come home with me 🤣
Go for the Mac RBRT spanners/wrenches over the Snap on flank drive. Torque test channel did a great video on them. Try a set of the RBRT or Grip Edge hex bit sockets too. If you’re a ratchet fan, try the Hazet Hiper series, I’ve just bought the 3/8 and 1/4 and straight away they’re more of a go to than my snap on 3/8 and 1/4 ones. I actually picked up a set of the Pittsburgh Pro flex head ratchets when we were on holiday in Florida last year ( from the UK ) and I think they’re fantastic for the money.
Alex, I fear this comment may have reached me too late. Friday's video will put the wrench discussion to rest, likely for the rest of my lifetime. Though if I stumble upon a deal regarding the RBRT stuff, I will surely consider it!
@@HeyDerFolksMAC currently has a flyer deal for the metric RBRT wrench. Buy em and get a set of precision torque metric flex head ratchet wrenches for free. $300 or so
The rbrt stuff is really good, not sure if you have a MAC truck but all MAC tools and Proto tools stuff is REALLY good alAND cheaper than snap-on with same warranty.
I'm sure you already know but the "wobble plus" was invented by Ko-ken tools and the patent expired that is why other companies can now make them. Ko-ken also make great tools. I hope that you do get to try mac and proto rather than all snap-on I work with tools for a living so telling you from my experience. Wright tools sockets and combination wrenches, MAC tools and Proto for sockets and impact t sockets especially and precision wrenches and other hand tools, Snap-on for pliers aswell as Knipex, Williams has the same sockets as Snap-on for cheaper, Ko-ken ratchets are really good no back drag, and Milwaukee for power tools. All made in USA besides ko-ken though I know they have a USA ko-ken company. In my opinion. Have a good day appreciate the video.
Wright wrenches outperformed FDX
@@HeyDerFolks the current MAC flyer has a bogo deal for the metric RBRT wrenches. Buy those for $300ish and get a set of precision torque flex head ratchet wrenches for free.
Another great video
Thanks, Justin!
Great video 👍
Thanks, Tony!
Snap on dealer sees this bloke step on the truck and says to himself well here's another house payment
What did the inspection mirror/pickup kit cost on the truck?
I tighten the screw on my flexheads, i cant stand a real floppy flexhead
Ya, it is super frustrating. I can try to tighten it more, but I think i'm at the point of diminishing returns.
@@HeyDerFolksask your dealer to replace the washer in the joint of your flex head. Might help with the flopping.
How can I get that type of hat? It's amazing!
I believe Snap On is giving them away for the remainder of the month of July. I assume each dealer is different in terms of giving it away relative to minimum spend, or something else. In my case he lets me take at least one hat every time I come on the truck so thats how I got this one.
Love the sun hat. Did you have to pay for it or did they throw it in?
Dealer threw it in for “free”. Not sure how much I had to spend exactly, but he gives me 1-2 things every time I’m on the truck
I hate the foam junk. Takes up too much room in the tool chest.
Buy a bigger box
@@jefferywalton8176 I like to find old Snapon boxes. They were not made with tons of room.
This is definitely the tradeoff. The benefit of the foam is built in organization, the downside is that you end up with 20-30% of your toolbox storing something other than....tools. Its especially annoying with some of the plastic trays because they're so much bulkier.
The local dealer has been having some good 1/4 & 3/8 metric & Std in foam deep semi deep and standard for about 50% off 👍😎👍
I need my guy to have that deal!
Try to use your tools more than Doc. I don't think ive ever seen a single scratch on any of his tools. Im a giant hypocrite though because i have a set of hard handle hi viz ratchets that I won't use because they are pristine.
i picked up the 3 piece 1/4 locking wobble extension set that set is amazing!
Have heard good things about the locking extensions as well. Not sure if they're in my wheel house given what I have at this point, but will consider in the future!
Snap on box in the near future 🤔
We'll see, Andy. I want it to be a function of having accomplished some things on the channel, so if we can grow the channel i'd like to grow into a Snap On box. Truthfully, i'm running out of Snap On stuff to buy that "makes sense", but i'm hoping to have a project car soon, so that'll help produce a lot of content.
Are you going to sell your Husky set now that you have the Snap On set?
Good question, though i'm not sure. I may decide to sell some of it, but some of it i'll keep because i'll never buy in Snap On (like 12 point sockets, for example). Its also nice to hold onto it in case I 1. Have to let someone borrow something or 2. Wind up with a primary toolbox outside the home, and want the husky stuff for home.
Those are normal scrapers. Not carbide.
In hindsight I realize the mistake I made in calling them carbide vs. carbon.
Next time the prices also
What is the model # for the instinct handle magnets ?
PTM30, I still don't see the set listed on their website though.
Those aren't carbide scrapers
Right on, I didn't even notice there was a difference in "Carbon" vs. "Carbide" scrapers.
You have a shity snap-on dealer because you should have explained to you about the magnets why that has the sleeve that prevents the magnet from sticking to other metal components when you're trying to get deep into retrieving a screw
Eh, that or just my inexperience. Either way, I appreciate the folks on TH-cam setting me straight. Cheers.
I don't think that makes him "shitty."
You clearly are a weekend/DIY guy with your comment of you wished everything came in foam. Foam is a complete waste of space in your box. Some of your other comments just have me SMFH.
I am indeed a weekend/DIY guy. I appreciate the foam aesthetic and organizational components, but I can certainly see how it'd be an annoyance if you're optimizing for total capacity.
IM HOOKED ON CAPRI TOOLS!!!!!! PLUS THERE PRICE
I don’t have any Capri in my collection but have only heard good things about
@@HeyDerFolks GREAT CHANNEL, NEW SUB AND LOVING IT!!! THANKS, JACK
