Man, 20 years ago, a mechanic couldn't work without a 1/2 wrench. Now I can't remember the last time I used one. Now a days, a 10mm is gold!
I love the OLD MATCO ratchets BRT8DP. I buy them up on eBay. Bought one in 1988 that still rocks!
Wow. Michael seems to be doing a killer job with his new franchise.
I been thinking about an air hammer with that bit so I can bust in the tandem pins but never could find that bit now I gotta track down a matco truck who got that bit and a hammer! Also great for giving brake drums a love tap instead of a hammer laying down in thick snow lol thanks for this vid! I got this one saved!!!
I have that ratcheting screwdriver. Little disappointed it was made in Taiwan when I got it but it's still a quality tool.
I’ve got that exact set and it’s worth it
That is a nice bit set. Irwin sells it for 35$ and its in a blue case. But everyone knows matco charges at least 50$ and up to apply there logo.
Kristopher Hill their logo.
@@donaldhollums3278 you're a twat
Donald you beat me to it.
I agree on the crowsfeet wrenches,come in handy.I had to use one to run in a brake line fitting in a tight spot on an extension bar lately
I have that same orange box with silver handles and a hutch. Love it so far
My Matco dealer is awesome and will always take care of me just like your dealer
Great video. Good to hear wild bill talking more
Clay, Great Video as usual, Thanks and Keep them Coming...
Hello sir great post and I like that bit set. My snappy driver let me trade ratchets free, a surprise.
Nice to add to the collection. Thanks Clay see in the next one.
Next thing we know ole Bill will be getting a new Matco tool cabinet.
Nice videos man!! I buy Matco and snap on as well!! Never had a cornwell truck near me though
I like the new intro and misic
Matco had good price on them punches. As machinist I use punches and hex wrenches daily
Hey Bill, I'd like to recommend you try a square bit to remove Philips head screws, I tell you what they work wonders...
That’s the only thing that kills me now that Matco doesn’t sell Armstrong tools anymore. I had to warranty an older pro-torque ratcheting wrench and the replacement was the new 90tooth made in Taiwan “gearwrench”. So I paid $300+ for American made wrenches that now are being warrantied out for wrenches worth less than half.
Really comes back to what Hamilton said yesterday. When you rebrand your tools your at the mercy of the original manufacturer. They decided to close the doors at Armstrong and now Matco sells Taiwan tools at the same cost as they were their USA made ones.
Armstrong made some really great tools also. Sucks to see American tools becoming a thing of the past. Everyone wants to “buy cheap” and unfortunately cheap and American made won’t ever go together so when the “regular joe” chooses price over quality it always drives the market to go overseas for manufacturing. Sad thing. I wished every single tool truck would push to have American made tools on the truck. I know the electronics won’t be but at least the hand tools should be.
I am bad about looking at labels. I had rather pay more and get an American made tool than pay less and get a lesser quality item.
Hopefully they stop that soon. All about the usa.. just look at Sears and how well that worked for craftsman
Isnt their Ratchets still made by Armstrong???
I think A J Manufacturing makes Matco ratchets(made in USA). Armstrong got bought out by Apex who owns gearwrench but Danaher owns Matco.
Forged Steel Wrench
Armstrong is a now defunct brand. Apex tools ,who owns fluke, Matco and kd tools/gearwrench , decided to close shop for USA made Allen and Armstrong brands. You can still buy overstock from both brands, until the stock runs out. but if you break them you’re getting an overseas gearwrench replacement
Thanks great video cool orange toolbox
It would be cool if they had magnets in those little screw compartments on the blow molded cases.
Bill should’ve just got the Irwin but set from your Snap-on Dealer if he carries them like mine does and it’s life time and you would’ve saved some money.
After watching ur videos for a month... whattaheck 🤷🏽♂️ i’ll subscribe 😜
Thank you !
I have that speaker and the magnet came off have to re glue it
Wally dropped his and it came apart. Still works but looks bad
62 bucks for that transfer punch set is NOT a deal, Cornwell sells the exact same set for under 40!!
Do all Matco dealers do trade ins or is that something just Micheal does?
Most all tool dealers will take trade ins
You should’ve told Bill to tell him $100 for that bit set
How do you like those oil plug sockets been debating on to get them or not
They are nice, they work well and keep you from biting your fingers on hot plugs
@@KoonTrucking which most of the time they are hot well not the plugs but the oil
Hey Clay i buy mac tools and snap on .how come you dont do any vids on mac tools. Or you dont have a distributor.and how do you feel about mac tools
Is the bit set lifetime warranty? It's identical to the Irwin set but if matco is lifetime then it'll be worth it
Most of Matcos tools are rebranded gearwrench
Matco makes toolboxes and that's it, no tools
Not sure if your joking or just don’t know what your talking about but Matco is its own company which is wholly owned by Matco incorporated and gear wrench is owned by apex tool group.
@imgone No actually he is right. Gear wrench is owned by Apex. And Matco is its own entity. However, I'm sure some tools are just rebranded. (Like all the big companies do)
and ingersoll LMAO
charging7 wrong.
Gear wrench and matco are made under the Apex tool group so there partner companies so assuming they were made at the same place would be pretty accurate
KhaosGardenz
Matco is not made under Apex
@@user-zt4yk1sm8y matco is made under danaher which danaher made Apex tool group so yes matco is owned by danaher
Danaher made fortive which is who matco is made by now but really it's all owned by danaher and danaher started Apex tool group so there all from the same kinda factories
KhaosGardenz
Danaher sold Apex tool group in 2012 to Bain Capitol
Danaher owns Matco
@@user-zt4yk1sm8y ok my apologies should of just said matco is owned by danaher from the get go
I was just thinking about a new speaker for my box. My little SnapOn one can't be heard over the fans
Well no more radio,s in shop due to radio wars in between bays
It got out of hand
But man that sound bar looks good to me
Lol u should see my job site. Rap to country then turn the corner and u got a mariachi band going on lmao
I used to visit a buddy of mine that turned wrenches at a Jeep dealership. Every tech had something different blairing from their radios.
Talking about wives was funny. But don’t be amazed - remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. Backwards. In heels.
I bought that bit set off snap on, it's a Irwin product, was around 70 bucks and personally it is junk the socket adapters barely hold the sockets. Rest the bits are ok but I would not buy again
😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sunex makes that bit kit bill got you can get it on amazon or ebay for as low as 47 dollars. Sunex 9734
Doesn't come with a lifetime warranty under sunex
Joseph Benjamin Saravia I buy my bits exclusively from Matco. I don’t care who supplies them for Matco. All I know is that I bust them bastards on a weekly basis trying to get rotors off and the Matco guy takes my busted ones and puts brand new ones in my hand no questions asked. I don’t have time to chase warranties on bits supplied by a big box stores or Amazon. I appreciate the customer service that my “Matco Joe” offers. My 6S Matco box was made inn1998. The detents that hold the big wide drawer closed are getting weak. That drawer has held several hundred pounds of sockets since 98. Instead of just repairing the detents on that drawer he ordered all new slides for every drawer and offered to install them. All free on a 22 year old toolbox. Got no time for Snapon fanboys that want to criticize Matco constantly. The best tool company is the one that has a stable and customer driven rep. I’ve been fortunate to have some good men as tool guys over the years and I purchased from various companies mostly based on the tool man’s character. I don’t care how great the tools are if the tool rep is an ass or unreliable.
@@prevost8686 I agree thinking of buying that same set as well. I agree that the tool rep makes a big difference. People hate on Matco because of the rebrand of tools but if the Matco takes care of you well then its worth buying from them
Koon trucking U ever buy from mac tools ??
No I don’t. I’m not that big of a fan of MAC
Why
No 1/2 inch wrench????
Ken Dallas I was thinking the same thing. I know sae is not as popular as metric but seems like a common item that would be stocked.
120 dollars for a simple bit set! That's outrageous nothing special about them. The trade in aspect is nice though.
China bit set, smh...
