Your test is unfair. If you want to test the quality made by different countries, should select the products with the same prices from those countries.
On site cheat bars are used all the time with people putting there whole body weight on them to get bolts off. That must achieve something close to 400 kg
I will help to summarize it as below: $ Kg Kg/$ Milwaukee 70 577 8.24 Makita 45 443 9.84 Wurth 35 436 12.46 Forsage 10 385 38.50 Noname 2 65 32.50 So in summary, while Milwaukee wrench demonstrates the best quality, it's worth noting that in terms of Kg/$ spent, Forsage wrench appears to be the best bang for the buck.
I wouldn’t necessarily say forsage is the best bang for buck. Maybe for a light duty mechanic but in the end Milwaukee or makita would be the better option. Especially when they hold their value longer
Except additional cost for gasoline to go buy a new one. AND, if it is your profession, you have to refuse requests from customers if tools are broken which is a terrible opportunity loss.
If the purpose of your comparison to tell which country produces better quality, then you should use wrenches of similar prices to make it a fair comparison. If your focus is on prices, then you should not lable name of countries.
Here’s the thing, at least 3 of those wrenches were made in China. The matkita and milluaukee are, I’m pretty sure both made by the same megacorp in China.
Load tolerance isn't the only characteristic for evaluating a hand tool, though. Longevity/durability, ease of use, ergonomics, warranty support, etc. are also possible considerations.
As a modern engineer I’m not surprised that the 1970 wrench still took 1/2 the abuse and still was somewhat functional. New is cheaper, lighter, and economical to built but not always better. Modern cars are a great example of how crappy technology can be. You will never see a 2020 car survive until 2050 but yet all the cars built in 1970 have still made it to 2020. Sure they are heavy and get 15 mpg but they still made the journey and that’s what counts. Old engineering was built to last, not engineered to get you past the warranty so you can buy another. I will never forget my roots.

Thanks for the video. $70 wrenches must be better than $10 ones otherwise buyer will be mad. But the difference of broken point force doesn't justify the $60 cost difference LOL
The difference being, if you need tools for home, perfectly fine to buy cheap. It's different when you rely on your tools to make a living. Spend a bit more to have the confidence that they won't let you down when they are needed to pay the bills.
It's not just the breaking point alone that has to justify the cost, there's also wear and long-term durability. You also have to consider the general performance of the tool and how well the mechachinism ratchets. A cheap, sloppy ratchet mechanism can be difficult to use in a tight operating space. So, you might want something high quality and precise.

If you buy based on whether you can put 420 or 440kg with your hands, you are buying on the wrong things… I think the Japanese and the German one are better for work because of the handle.
The more expensive ones will most likely have better quality. This video can calculate the cost-effectiveness, but it cannot tell which country’s products have better or worse quality.
@@andreaspallasch8372 "Japanese copied from nobody" yes they do through they entire history 🤣 Find out where Japanese writing, culture, weapons, construction methods and more come from
By the way: Würth is a German company, but they do not make their own tools. They buy them from all over the world and just put their name on. So the Würth ratchet in the video might actually be a Chinese one (although a good one). 🤣
Chinese are super underrated and are still looked as as cheap and mediocre quality but even if it is only slightly comparaple as the business I work in is in electronics I have very good relationship with chinese suppliers. when I ask for a quote they respond within an hour while with germans or swiss it will take a few days and way to often I even have to send a reminder... quality so far from chinese production was always impressingly (equaliy) good and for like half the price..sooner or later our (swiss)company will buy everthing in china and there is noone else to blame for it other than ourselves. for me I already rather work with chinese people than with europeans.
Good review, testing method seemed quite consistent. Any of these rachets would work for me with the exception of the $2 No name rachet. 65 Kg of force is around 100ft-lbs (dependent on handle length), so I could break that. On Average, all the rachets broke around 1000 ft-lbs (+/-) except no name. Don't know about you but no nut I turn is torqued to 1000 ft-lbs, and even if it was, I don't have the physical strength to turn it let alone break it. It is after all, still a hand tool. The big difference would be the useability with the increased number of racheting teeth. The Wurth seems like a good balance between cost and number of teeth. For most home type applications, even the Fosage would last me a lifetime.
You're wrong in your conversions. 65 kg is roughly 650 Nm (Newton-meters), which is about 480 lbf (pound-feet) of torque. This is more than most car engines produce and way, *way* more than you can do with bare hands. You would need either to step on the ratchet (if you turn vertically), or use a much longer lever to produce that torque. So even the $2 ratchet does the job for like 95% of everyday uses. Nevertheless, personally I would opt for the Würth or the Makita.
I have the Milwaukee Ratchet ,I purchased it with the 106 piece socket set. I am completely satisfied with it. I really love the sockets as well , worth every penny (to me ).
O importante não está só na força de alavanca mas sim na quantidade de trabalho dos carretos internos que conforme o tempo e esforço de desgaste começa a folgar e avaria. Nunca homem algum vai fazer essa força. O desgaste interno é o fator mais importante.
After seeing this test and the prices, if I had to choose I would buy 4 pcs for 10$, two (one for backup if the other one is damaged/lost) in a portable tool box for working outside the city + one in the car tool box + one in the home + 1 can of WD-40 spray lubricant! 😂😂😂

Wenn du damit professionell arbeitest ist Hazet sicher 1. Wahl. Für mich als Gelegenheitsschrauber daheim wäre Makita oder KS allerdings ausreichend. Ist halt einfach nur die Frage des Preis/Leistungs/Gebrauchsverhältnis. Oft billig kaufen ist langfristig so teuer wie 1 x Hazet kaufen Was hier nicht getestet wurde Proxxon. Mein Akkuequipment ist Makita, Handequipment fast ausschließlich Proxxon.
If you are strong enough to break any of those you don't need a wrench. Milwaukee don't have safety mechanism in square so that's why it hold the most.
What I want to know is what brand socket that is. For it to not split apart under those pressures is amazing. The only word I can see on that socket is “Forged”. I’ve had other cheaply made sockets spread apart by only using hand power.
Where is the german brand "Hazet" ? This is a comparison of no use. You are comparing apples and pears. Mainly to show us-brand is the best ?! WOW. Make America great again. YOU are the greatest - guess what.😅
When you did the test, did you make sure the point from the square to the point of contact of the hydraulic press is maintained same for all the tests, because the difference in leverage could give different results.
It's an intetesting test, but as many other, for high torque bolts/nuts I dont use this kind of tool until I have loosed it a bit. For me its much more important how many teeth it has, how is the grip etc.
I guess I’m buying Milwaukee from now on! A follow-up video, part 2, demonstrating Crasftsman, Husky, Kobalt, Matco, Mac Tools, Blue-Point & Snap-On ratchets.
Yes we all need to see Craftsmen & Snap-On. Craftsmen isn't what it used to be so I bought my first Snap-on. Cost as much off the Snap-on truck as a very big Craftsmen set. I think S.O. is much better than C. but I'd like to see the test.
Lol, no, never. But with a possible lifespan of 80 years, life is short, so I would like to know which wrench will outlast me by a thousand years and then some. Just enjoy! On a side note, I have had a cheap ratchet wrench shear on me...I clearly outlasted that one.
Interesting video. They all seem over dimensionsed to be honest. Clearly they can all handle more pressure than they would ever see in daily use. So the winner is probably the lightest.
As a heavy duty diesel tech Ill tell you Ive broken a few 1/2” snap-on and mac tools ratchets. Granted I was using a cheater bar to try and break some really tough bolts free. Ive never broken a 3/8 drive ratchet with my hand it definitely takes extra leverage.
@@juanfo7307 as a good diesel tech you should know 1/2 drives have smaller profiles than a 3/4 drive and some times you gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done. Thats why I buy quality tools because they have life time warranty and will just get it fixed/swapped out when my tool guy comes. Lol Ive been doing this over 13 years If its in a semi truck Ive done it
@@juanfo7307 and breaker bars break just like ratchets, and yes Ive heated bolts red hot to break em loose but you can’t always use the torch. How long have you been working with tools? Since you know it all apparently
The test only shows the load that can be endured. but no one manages to muster this strength. Since I have worked with most of these tools, I can confidently say that the Würth is the one that fits best in the hand and is the best to work with.
Whoever have such strength as the machine that test the wrench must be a VERY Strong man. I would buy the $2 one or old wrench 1970 and it probably last me 20-40 years
You can put a pipe on the handle of the rachet, and you will be able to break even the "good" ones just by hand. It happened to me several times (Würth, Makita, Proxxon, Hazet)
Problem with cheap ones is not just material strength which is decent but some times moving parts are off in dimensions or don't have an optional design. I.e. a loose racket wrench.
As a man who's broken a 3/8 ratchet by hand I can tell you the most painful part is the shock in your hand. And then almost hyper extending your elbow after is the worst.
I was changing a starter in a 66 dodge coronet in the rain and used one of those cheapos. It broke and I destroyed my hand. No more cheap GRAND AUTO ratchet sets for me.
@@clipsedrag13 made in china yes, thought Makita is owned by japanese people, the video make it look like milwaukee is owned by US citizen, when it is not anymore.
@@waitakiorchards743 Yeah...no...at the extension of the press used in the video, naturally 🥴. Of course my question was poorly worded, and I actually want to know whether the worst rachet handle could be broken by a human without extending the lever.....which I suspect you knew 🤨.
@@titaniumtinman2809 You could put your weight on it, or you could use your muscles. But you'll never be able to snap the square off or wreck the mechanism.
It's really depends your need and budget. You probably won't be able to break any of them unless you extend the bar with a pipe. Of course, I will choose the 10$ made in China one, since it is cheep enough and good enough. Import tax is pretty high here in China.
@@红杏出墙-c7g And that's what allows companies to make lots of money by selling overpriced products. We all deserve the best, in our own heads, but we ususlly don't actually need the best, just what's good enough. I think that you and I think the same way.
For those of you talking about human strength. It’s common practice to use leverage or to hit the wrench so this is useful. Also heavy pressure in a short time can indicate over a long time. Also
In general, all went well, because how much leverage can a person exert in a squeeze? La diferencia para mí será la vida útil de cada uno . Bueno un fuerte abrazo para todos Es una de mis herramientas preferida 🇺🇾
My general rule is, if it says "Made in West Germany" on the tool, it's usually the best out of the entire selection you can get. I still have tools from the 60s and 70s, flawless.
My thought is, I’d rather have a wrench that had the drive square fail, as opposed to the mechanism. Two reasons; the drive square would (or should be) an easily) replaceable, and secondly it gives me more confidence in a high use item that the ratchet will hold up.
Yea that’s what I was thinking, makes the German and Japanese ones the better choice as they don’t have an integral square (and are also cheaper than the American one). It’s why deliberate points of failure can be very useful as safety features. Actually goes way back to the Romans, they mass produced javelins and designed the tips to be replaceable and fail, this mean the javelins in most cases could be repaired easily just by replacing the tip, prevented enemies from picking up their javelins and throwing them back to the romans, also means that they got stuck in enemy shields, making them heavy and much less useful, forcing enemies to ditch them and neutralising shield walls.
Drive square is not a standard part it is probably a casting with integral teeth and unique to each brand and model. It is probably not readily available as a spare so not easy or cheap to replace.
The head of the Milwaukee tool seems larger, which could be a problem working in cramp areas. One thing that is not addressed is the length from the center of the socket to where the press pushes at the wrench. The longer this length is, the more torgue is put on the wrench given a certain kg push. The Milwaukee tool seems longer thus the press seems to push further away from the center of the socket, so it has taken even a higher torgue than the other wrenches... But that price is not for me.
Está claro que la calidad hay que pagarla, pero también hay que tener en cuenta las condiciones y exigencias que se le a una herramienta en un trabajo determinado, si no se van a usar grandes palancas que aumenten las fuerzas enormemente todas ellas cumplen sin tener que pagarlas muy caras. Con los brazos no es fácil hacer las de cien kilogramos y si no se lo creen prueben con una dinamométrica, pero ojo que en algunos países a esta le llaman (mal llamada) dinamométrica cuanto está no permite saber la fuerza que estamos haciendo y soltar a la presión adecuada mientras que la que aparece en el vídeo es una lleve de carraca y simplemente vale para aflojar o apretar rápida y cómodamente ya sea por larga rosca o por poco espacio para mover la llave.
I like the milwaukee, its strong and the handle is all metallic so its very easy to clean. I use Beta and Facom and they're great but the rubber/plastic handle will deteorate with the use and oil stains.
The $10 Chinese tools you buy abroad may only cost $2 in China. It’s true. I’m Chinese and I won’t lie to you. But if you come to China and buy $10 tools, I can guarantee that it will definitely be the best price in the world for the same price. tools
They are all produced in china. Comedy. China vs. china. Mesauring just how much the brand actually tranferred the money it got for its brand name to the product. Chines produce everything in required qualitiy if they are paid accordingly.
Its doesn't work like that. China is big factory but this doesn't make chinese all those things which made in China. If you buying Sony TV you don't call it LG because the main component of it - screen - is made by LG? Right?
Force is the brand I have them in 3/8 3/4 1/2 good set they have a nice grip that let’s you turn stiff bolts out by hand and note he didn’t put the ratchet in the press!!!!
The most important thing I learned here is that you really can use a very expensive hydraulic press to destroy all socket wrenches. I'm not sure when I will find a use for that knowledge. But if the wrenches of the world ever start misbehaving, we'll know how to deal with them.
I am running a small scale motor garage & by the experience we are aware that USA tools are perfect. But very high price is unbearable. Best solition is middle quality Chinese or Thaiwan tools.
These tests do not consider the mechanical tolerances of internal parts between manufactures. Lower cost tools may have much more "play" between internal parts giving them more rotational travel as the hydraulic piston moves before critical failure.
The instrument doesn't measure travel/distance. As such internal "slack" matters not, atleast in this example. It would only cause issues if mechanism slack came into play at a random moment mid-test since it might have caused a false positive and end the test prematurely.
Your test is unfair. If you want to test the quality made by different countries, should select the products with the same prices from those countries.

By the way: Würth is a German company, but they do not make their own tools. They buy them from all over the world and just put their name on. So the Würth ratchet in the video might actually be a Chinese one (although a good one). 🤣
Imagine the profits 😬
Yes, he should test hazet for Germany
@@MD-gr6so what do you mean? We use it every day
yeah, they couldn't even make one by themselves now
Chinese are super underrated and are still looked as as cheap and mediocre quality but even if it is only slightly comparaple as the business I work in is in electronics I have very good relationship with chinese suppliers. when I ask for a quote they respond within an hour while with germans or swiss it will take a few days and way to often I even have to send a reminder... quality so far from chinese production was always impressingly (equaliy) good and for like half the price..sooner or later our (swiss)company will buy everthing in china and there is noone else to blame for it other than ourselves. for me I already rather work with chinese people than with europeans.
Good review, testing method seemed quite consistent. Any of these rachets would work for me with the exception of the $2 No name rachet. 65 Kg of force is around 100ft-lbs (dependent on handle length), so I could break that. On Average, all the rachets broke around 1000 ft-lbs (+/-) except no name. Don't know about you but no nut I turn is torqued to 1000 ft-lbs, and even if it was, I don't have the physical strength to turn it let alone break it. It is after all, still a hand tool. The big difference would be the useability with the increased number of racheting teeth. The Wurth seems like a good balance between cost and number of teeth. For most home type applications, even the Fosage would last me a lifetime.
Pura cheater bar on it and ill bet you'll break em
@工业党驻油管代表处 不顺滑，差得太远。对我十块钱的也还行。够用不是特别烂。
You're wrong in your conversions. 65 kg is roughly 650 Nm (Newton-meters), which is about 480 lbf (pound-feet) of torque. This is more than most car engines produce and way, *way* more than you can do with bare hands. You would need either to step on the ratchet (if you turn vertically), or use a much longer lever to produce that torque. So even the $2 ratchet does the job for like 95% of everyday uses.
Nevertheless, personally I would opt for the Würth or the Makita.
100 pounds is not even close to 65 kgs..
65 kgs is the weight of an average chubby girl.
You could break it with your hand?
I have the Milwaukee Ratchet ,I purchased it with the 106 piece socket set. I am completely satisfied with it. I really love the sockets as well , worth every penny (to me ).
Thank you for showing the strength of these materials.

O importante não está só na força de alavanca mas sim na quantidade de trabalho dos carretos internos que conforme o tempo e esforço de desgaste começa a folgar e avaria.
Nunca homem algum vai fazer essa força.
O desgaste interno é o fator mais importante.
Concordo com vc.
É a durabilidade no dia a dia de trabalho.

After seeing this test and the prices, if I had to choose I would buy 4 pcs for 10$, two (one for backup if the other one is damaged/lost) in a portable tool box for working outside the city + one in the car tool box + one in the home + 1 can of WD-40 spray lubricant! 😂😂😂

That old ratchet had survived through tough times until the owner decides to put to its limit.

The 'Owner' is the key word here. While you own your opinions, you did NOT own this ratchet.

If you are strong enough to break any of those you don't need a wrench. Milwaukee don't have safety mechanism in square so that's why it hold the most.
That's right. See how it flew off. Could be lethal damage if not taken care of.
What I want to know is what brand socket that is. For it to not split apart under those pressures is amazing. The only word I can see on that socket is “Forged”. I’ve had other cheaply made sockets spread apart by only using hand power.
as car mechanic in germany i can say würth make good tools, but when you test this with Hazet or Gedore it will reach the 1000kg mark :D
For Germany: "Hazet" is THE number one for wrenches. A special brand for mechanics.
Würth is german too, but more an allround seller.

It only made it to 50 that's nothing. I've broken so many of those things. It's probably equivalent to like 100-200 Newton meters of torque
What is cool here? Destroying good tools for ...what? Nothing.
@@nebojsasinjkevic1358totally agree 😊!
All made in China licensed by the foreign brands.
Quality control is different.
Where is the german brand "Hazet" ? This is a comparison of no use. You are comparing apples and pears. Mainly to show us-brand is the best ?! WOW. Make America great again. YOU are the greatest - guess what.😅
No, Würth produces in Germany and Switzerland. You cant compare american and asian GARBAGE to german quality. Just stop it
Not necessarily
Don't forget: you only paid $2 for cheap tools, you'll get what your paid for. It's not bad for home use. ( Normally people don't use tools everyday)
When you did the test, did you make sure the point from the square to the point of contact of the hydraulic press is maintained same for all the tests, because the difference in leverage could give different results.
Very interesting and useful video.! Congratulations.!!
It's an intetesting test, but as many other, for high torque bolts/nuts I dont use this kind of tool until I have loosed it a bit.
For me its much more important how many teeth it has, how is the grip etc.
That is true. I use a simple breaker bar for high torgue.
I guess I’m buying Milwaukee from now on!

Will you ever put 500kg on it?
Lol, no, never. But with a possible lifespan of 80 years, life is short, so I would like to know which wrench will outlast me by a thousand years and then some. Just enjoy!

As a heavy duty diesel tech Ill tell you Ive broken a few 1/2” snap-on and mac tools ratchets. Granted I was using a cheater bar to try and break some really tough bolts free. Ive never broken a 3/8 drive ratchet with my hand it definitely takes extra leverage.

It was an excellent informative video. Thanks 🙏
The test only shows the load that can be endured. but no one manages to muster this strength. Since I have worked with most of these tools, I can confidently say that the Würth is the one that fits best in the hand and is the best to work with.
Whoever have such strength as the machine that test the wrench must be a VERY Strong man.
I would buy the $2 one or old wrench 1970 and it probably last me 20-40 years
Hell no, the 2$ will break at the first time you will put some force on it.
But the 10$ is enough.
Will recommend the cheapest one,normally your hands strength won't be so strong.
You can put a pipe on the handle of the rachet, and you will be able to break even the "good" ones just by hand. It happened to me several times (Würth, Makita, Proxxon, Hazet)
65kg?
@@GrafHolock I don't usually use this for high torque. This type wrenches is just for convenient. My colleague used for a year, I use four years.
Problem with cheap ones is not just material strength which is decent but some times moving parts are off in dimensions or don't have an optional design.
I.e. a loose racket wrench.

It's really depends your need and budget. You probably won't be able to break any of them unless you extend the bar with a pipe. Of course, I will choose the 10$ made in China one, since it is cheep enough and good enough. Import tax is pretty high here in China.
And you can afford to break 7 of them for the price of the one that can take over 500kg, so probably save money too.

Great test. Could you add a Gedore, Hazet or Stahlwille wrench from Germany?
For those of you talking about human strength. It’s common practice to use leverage or to hit the wrench so this is useful. Also heavy pressure in a short time can indicate over a long time.
Also
Assuming you didn’t loose it, stolen or borrowed! Lol
In general, all went well, because how much leverage can a person exert in a squeeze? La diferencia para mí será la vida útil de cada uno .

if you would know...
th-cam.com/video/JrKQRNdLNBY/w-d-xo.html
A 500 kg person could break all of them
My general rule is, if it says "Made in West Germany" on the tool, it's usually the best out of the entire selection you can get. I still have tools from the 60s and 70s, flawless.
I like the Japanese stuff...it never brakes, unless you have a use hydraulic press of course ☺
Indeed it only steps on the gas.
My thought is, I’d rather have a wrench that had the drive square fail, as opposed to the mechanism. Two reasons; the drive square would (or should be) an easily) replaceable, and secondly it gives me more confidence in a high use item that the ratchet will hold up.
Yea that’s what I was thinking, makes the German and Japanese ones the better choice as they don’t have an integral square (and are also cheaper than the American one). It’s why deliberate points of failure can be very useful as safety features.
Actually goes way back to the Romans, they mass produced javelins and designed the tips to be replaceable and fail, this mean the javelins in most cases could be repaired easily just by replacing the tip, prevented enemies from picking up their javelins and throwing them back to the romans, also means that they got stuck in enemy shields, making them heavy and much less useful, forcing enemies to ditch them and neutralising shield walls.
Drive square is not a standard part it is probably a casting with integral teeth and unique to each brand and model.
It is probably not readily available as a spare so not easy or cheap to replace.
The head of the Milwaukee tool seems larger, which could be a problem working in cramp areas. One thing that is not addressed is the length from the center of the socket to where the press pushes at the wrench. The longer this length is, the more torgue is put on the wrench given a certain kg push. The Milwaukee tool seems longer thus the press seems to push further away from the center of the socket, so it has taken even a higher torgue than the other wrenches... But that price is not for me.

Should test the warranty on the wrenches & see if they replace or repair them 😁
Except, of course, the Chinesium one. Just sayin'.
Take the Milwaukee wrench back and they will as long as there is no pipe marks on it
Está claro que la calidad hay que pagarla, pero también hay que tener en cuenta las condiciones y exigencias que se le a una herramienta en un trabajo determinado, si no se van a usar grandes palancas que aumenten las fuerzas enormemente todas ellas cumplen sin tener que pagarlas muy caras. Con los brazos no es fácil hacer las de cien kilogramos y si no se lo creen prueben con una dinamométrica, pero ojo que en algunos países a esta le llaman (mal llamada) dinamométrica cuanto está no permite saber la fuerza que estamos haciendo y soltar a la presión adecuada mientras que la que aparece en el vídeo es una lleve de carraca y simplemente vale para aflojar o apretar rápida y cómodamente ya sea por larga rosca o por poco espacio para mover la llave.

@@zaldanzig you give a great idea thanks 😂
Thank you, best video watched recently. Could be better if there's a 10 secs count down till the break point.
The most important thing I learned here is that you really can use a very expensive hydraulic press to destroy all socket wrenches. I'm not sure when I will find a use for that knowledge. But if the wrenches of the world ever start misbehaving, we'll know how to deal with them.
I am running a small scale motor garage & by the experience we are aware that USA tools are perfect.
But very high price is unbearable. Best solition is middle quality Chinese or Thaiwan tools.
These tests do not consider the mechanical tolerances of internal parts between manufactures. Lower cost tools may have much more "play" between internal parts giving them more rotational travel as the hydraulic piston moves before critical failure.
I saw you follow Crazy Hydraulic Press, maybe you might also be interested in this channel th-cam.com/video/s1NY5oIoJaE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you.
That's not relevant to the result of this test.
haha
😆
The instrument doesn't measure travel/distance. As such internal "slack" matters not, atleast in this example. It would only cause issues if mechanism slack came into play at a random moment mid-test since it might have caused a false positive and end the test prematurely.
I will buy the $2 tool for everyday use and probably it will last for decades. Thanks for showing us. I feel sad though for wrecking the 70’s tool.
