I made a set for myself in 1974 while I was in the service. A piece of flat bar and 2 pieces of angle iron sized to fit. Not as pretty as those, but it definitely does the job. I've got a 12, 24 and 36 inch length, and when you get to a 2 inch jic fitting the 36 almost isn't enough. I'm now a trash truck mechanic and I do a lot of hydraulics. I think the tapered flare on a JIC fitting is why they get so tight. Snug up a fitting and come back in a week and you need the cheeter.
had to change brakes on a dodge 5500 i think if i remember correctly. the rear caliper bracket bolt was 30mm, and there was room for nothing but a wrench. i needed this tool.
I use my butterfly sockets and my long half inch ratchet to break jam nuts loose, works great. Unfortunately, finding butterfly sockets nowadays is like finding a needle in a haystack. Nobody makes them anymore and the guys that have them aren't letting them go without a fight
Yeah I have seen stuff like that before, but I can't justify the cost. I can almost everything that can to with a free piece of pipe I got out of the dump.
I have this thick block of wood that I use when setting the toe on cars, it supports the wrench thats on the outer tie rod when I'm breaking the jam nut loose. Works great.
Imagine how much cash this cat would have for cigars if he wasn't buying tools weekly for your asses. He'd have cancer for sure by now. Y'all saving his life watching his tool videos.
Well if that’s all you got you do what ya gotta do, but I think you risk damage as there’s not that much metal on that crowsfoot. Could end up breaking it or deforming it.
I'd rather put a little heat on something then risk getting hurt. If necessary Using monkey wrench With a pipe on it. They bite into steel better than a open end wrench.
@@eddieds312 Oh that...ok...I thought there where some special to the tech field they want to introduce...like "female drive" or "male drive" are now considered discrimination and brown or black insulated cables are considered a hate crime because it is discrimination of blacks 'cuz white insulated cables don't do "grounding" work....and AOC will force the industry to put a condom over each fuel injector to prevent unwanted CO² pregnancy....and Joe totally forgot that his T-Model is long gone....
You begin to piss me of with your awful ads !!! Why can‘t you mention that matco charges an absurd price tag for the exact same tool ? Why can‘t you criticize the missing groove inside the 1/2“ square ? Why are you so obsessed with this re-branding company ?

Didnt i see someone else do this same rant in a black and green shirt a few days ago?
Harbot freight must be getting around with its Icon line again.☠

These are sooooo good. That O2 sensor you thought was stuck? Not anymore!
A great tool. The Mueller looks like the highest quality among a few different options so I went with it.
Havent been able to watch you much latley but serouksly considering purchasing these
I bought two and I love them. I work mostly on heavy trucks and hydraulic lines. Case and John Deere loaders
The Welder in our shop makes these for us. And a smoothing bit on an air hammer, makes quick work of a really stubborn hydraulic line.
I had recently bought the monster mobile wrench extender, but same concept. Completely agree definitely new technology that you want your toolbox 🧰🍻😎🤙
Thanks for the review ! Been kickin' these around -- you sold me on 'em ! Solid tool.
I do a lot of alignments at my shop. I may need to invest in a couple of these.
Ah the garbage trucks Heil,Pak-Mor,McNielus those the ones I use to work on back in the day don’t miss it at all
I have the Mac Precision Torque wrenches, the extender is more difficult to use because the wrenches are so thick.

Do not put your ratchet in the end of that extension! That’s for breaker bars!
Exactly! Thank you for pointing that out to everyone.
I work big trucks and construction equipment
They are handy

@1:20 Is that the same music that Eric O. uses for his test drives? lol
Yes it’s stolen
@@FishFind3000 It's royalty free youtube music... And the flat rate master used to use it for his intro.
Hello, what minimum key size for the small model please. Thanks for the video 👍
I know i wouldnt want to be without mine. Dont need it every day but when i do im no longer asking the jam nut nicely.
Do they call these the warranty maker?
I seen these a couple yrs ago, I’ve not got one yet, I think one of techs here has one.. I thought about getting one
When are we going to see wrench extenders for a fair price? They shouldn't cost more than a large wrench
I have one of those, works great👍
Thanks for this video.
Awesome tool for alignments or in tight space where you can fit ratchet and socket.
WOW My buddy works on garbage trucks.
When he leaves the truck in the garage there is a line of maggots on the concrete floor.
Take the torch to them and you've got fly'd lice.
I started working on trash trucks in 1980

They need to make a wrench extender that telescopes the handle

Witch one can hold 1 1/8" ? I have the thick beam snap on, the size I use is 1 1/4"
Did you find out? I need one front 1" up to 2"
@@Erickscomp there's a larger muller krups on that can hold my 1 1/4
They look ok, but why not use a crowsfoot on a long rachet?
Well if that’s all you got you do what ya gotta do, but I think you risk damage as there’s not that much metal on that crowsfoot. Could end up breaking it or deforming it.
Thanks.
Awesome!
Got one a while back off the Matco truck and use it at least once a week. Awesome tool!!
If you paid more than 50$ than you got robbed

White wire is ground on volvo trucks
Just use a cheater pipe.
If you work on Dodge/Ram, you are still working on garbage trucks.
