I love it. I run a turret press and it’s basically, you load up punches and dies per the job traveler. Then you load up the desired material and send it. 20 minutes of hammering but I usually watch a TH-cam video while it runs
I've got mechanic buddies that all started out with less expensive tools(Craftsman) and slowly replaced them with MAC/Snap-on because of the quality and longevity of the tools. Rarely break/round off and lifetime warranty.
True - but, you only buy them once -and, more importantly, Snap - On wrenches, ratchets, and sockets WILL NOT SLIP. If you’ve ever had a wrench or socket slip and cause you to jam your hand into a machine or engine block, you learn to appreciate that.
Very expensive wrenches but for the flank drive plus i think they are worth it, i work with alot of rusted equipment and it saved me a couple of time as for standard, whatever floats your boat
They're good tools, any honest mechanic will say that. But also, an honest mechanic not stricken with shop vanity will admit you can buy other tools for 1/2 the price of snap-on and can earn the same size paycheck.
Yeah but can they call to get a replacement tool dropped off at the shop same day? Can they send their pneumatic and battery tools in to be rebuilt rather than just buying another one? Do your Husky and Pittsburgh wrenches have Flank Drive Plus? Go back to your junk yard shack Kevin.

I have broken many wrenches thru the years, and from my experience i have learned a few things: 1) Any wrench is good, if use properly; 2)any wrench can/will break if use with a big enough snipe; 3) There are only 5 wrench forging plants that make the whole array of wrenches that u'll find on any shelf and it's the magnaflux process that distinguishes the quality of the wrench- it is what determines which brand name it will be stamped with, and every brand will have forging imperfections.
The first pressed wrenches they showed are still snap on but they are actually there cat version of the wrench slightly different shape a fair bit beefier
I'm not a full time mechanic, but I do refuse to pay a shop for something I can do at home. So, I own Craftsman wrenches, ratchets, and sockets. Bought them in a 192 Piece set. I opened it when it was new, and the 1/4" drive ratchet didn't have a ball/spring in it at all. But, they replaced it. Also bent a 9/16" wrench, which they replaced. Decent tools, but snap-on is better.
what is the DIN or ISO standard to know the maximum and minimum tolerance to insert a hexagon bolt? Also What is the angle tolerance to turn the bolt ?
On this side of the pond, the two types are called open ended spanners and ring spanners. The ring spanner with a notch in it, is just called a hydraulic spanner.
When I was a mechanic in the 60's one of the other mechanics his father worked at PROTO in Los Angeles he would come visit us about once a month, he would bring a box of 2nds wrenches, with the PROTO name ground off but the size and part # was still there, he would pass them out to the mechanics, I still have a couple of them 9/16" combination wrench 6 point, and an open end 1/2" with one end 75° head angle, memories 😆😆😆
Despite the narration that identifies the box end as a hex, it is a double hex, or 12-point. In both box-end and socket wrenches, the purchaser must choose between hex and 12-point designs. Most people go for hex because it allows a shorter swing in tight spaces before moving the wrench to the next hex on the hardware. Also, some lightweight and aerospace hardware has 12-point wrenching surfaces, on which a hex will not fit. On the other hand, 12-points are necessarily thinner than hex at the periphery of the wrench, and also do not contact as large an area as a hex head. Because of this, hex heads are preferred whenever they can be used, as they are less likely to break (the wrench end) or round off a bolt when high torque in necessary. Professional mechanics usually have sets of all applicable wrenches, including short and deep sockets, and possibly universal sockets (wiggle-tails), box end wrenches and combination wrenches, in both hex and 12-point varieties. Expensive, but they are professionals, right?
+Hopelessand Forlorn In third sentence above, meant to write "12-point" in place of "hex." 12-point = shorter minimum swing on a hex. Sorry for the error.
I personally prefer kobalt tools. I used to have snap on but replacing tools was just ridiculously expensive. I haven't had a failed set yet. I also have some craftsmen wrenches from way back in the beginning of the 2000's and they are pretty good too. I hear the new ones are garbage though...
This is how Snap On wrenches are made,and I consider their production process to be inferior to that used by our iconic brand SIDCHROME.Sadly Sidchrome was bought out and closed down,the name remains but it is now Taiwanese made..viewers should watch "Sidchrome,The early years" on TH-cam,to see the special process Sidchrome did at the billet stage that NO other manufacturer in the world did...and cemented their reputation for quality .
not at all, harbor fright has a line of tools that are made in the same building as Snap On and about the a 10th of the price. PittsBurg. great tools at a small price
Yet, I've never had a Chinese manufactured wrench snap/break from too much pressure. If anything, the nut/bolt would either strip or cross threat first.
I have exactly 4 SO tools in my extensive collection. All 4 are broken, and because I’m not a professional and regular customer, they will not replace them. Don’t waste your money. Buy used USA made tools. They are far better quality. Much cheaper.
I used craftsmen and other then started buying snap on. I won’t buy anything but snap on anymore, yeah I pay a lot but never had one break, and I find myself not using tools to remove rounded off fasteners and broken bolts now. Pay up front for precision tools or pay on the backend for time wasting. Keep in mind I work on my tractor trailers where it’s common to see bolts torqued in excess of 600 ft lbs.
Ive been a mechanic for over 40 years and ive never had a Craftsman Wrench Ratchet Socket extension fail me yet ! Thing Is i bought all my craftsman tools back when they were made out of quality materials, im talking late 60s early 70s . I actually have a Craftsman combination 9/16 wrench i found somewhere thats actually has Craftsman stamped on one side and Taiwan on the other , Pretty pathetic huh ... Nothing is made in the US anymore because of the all mighty dollar.... Now if you can afford Snap-on tools that great , but as i see it there way over prices and a waist of your hard earned money.... I have Snap On and Mac tools ive picked up over the years , The bottom line is " any hand tool you buy now days comes with a lifetime guaranteed . The professional ( tool companies l) has just about priced theirselves out of a job ! JMO .
I'll stick with my SK's. Had them for way over 20 years, working on everything from 1020 Unit and 1220 Unit cranes to cars and trucks. They cost out the wazoo, but they are way worth the cost.

All of you quit arguing that Craftsmen wrenches are just as good as Snap-On, they aren't: Craftsmen wrenches are only made to suit the basic needs of someone who doesn't need tools often. Snap-On wrenches are made for professionals, however they are egregiously expensive. The best cost:quality ratio you could get is a Wright Tool wrench(industrial tools). They aren't horribly overpriced and can even rip the head off a bolt.
I ran military and civilian toolrooms and am an aircraft mechanic among other skills. I generally agree with your post! However it should be mentioned that Snap-on make many outstanding specialty automotive tools not always available elsewhere. Craftsman wrenches aren't really a problem, but when they changed from the old ratchet mechanism on their ratchets THAT was a fuckup! Coarse teeth and indifferent machining make them unreliable. My personal tool kits are a mix of what works from a wide variety of brands.
What the Hell are they doing using those wrenches?! It's Snap On! Wipe your oily prints off of it and put it back in the display case! There are plenty of Harbor Freight wrenches you can use instead. What were you thinking. If you scratched one...
bb4jdmlude i bet u love snap on. they are ok. but are overpriced. my dad spent 180 dollars on a swivell head snap on retchett.(he is a mechanic) it broke on him in a few years. now for 180 dollars i would expect for it to last much longer. his sidchrome and kincrome tools have lasted longer! have you tried stahlwillie. no probably not id say you have your heart set on one brand and say everything else is crap. if you tried stahlwille and felt the spanners you would love them. they fit the nut perfectly and are very strong. they are also still made in germany.
Well my snap on 3/8 has been with me thru 3 years of being an auto mechanic and now 2 years of being a millwright working on machines. I have yet to break or strip it. Also my other buddies have snap on ratchets and none of theirs have broken either. 1 had the screw come out of the flex head end. My snap on dealer replaced it with out even blinking
snap on are not a bad brand at all. my dad uses some snap on sockets and one of their 3/8 ratchets. but spanners he uses stahlwille. the stahlwille spanners have been around for yonks used everyday.
I really hate how park tool rebrands non-bike-specific tools like combination and adjustable wrenches, allen wrenches, pliers etc. They should stick to cone wrenches, BB and other speciality tools.
Bluepoint (a satin finish clone of the snapon) is now made in Taiwan. But now their polished like a wavy ocean. Barf. If you look on snapons website you'll see a lot of snapons shit is being made over sea's now. But the prices are still outrageous like highly paid US union workers made it...
@@trumpstroll7438 snap-on has never made a tool in their life, they are just a brand that puts their name on it and marks it up, the company Blue Point is who makes their wrench's like in this video, that's why they sued the shit out Harbor freight when they came out with the exact same car jack as snap-on because they went to the same manufacturer and got the same jack and sold it for $200 while snap-on was charging $500. The court ruled they're idiots and have no ground because they didn't produce it then self's. Bottem line, snap-on have never made a tool
@@backpocketmechanic7751 Dead wrong! I've toured the factory and seen the wrenches being made, right here in the USA. Snap On bought the Blue Point Wrench Company in the late twenties as they needed more capacity and this was a cheaper alternative than building a new factory. Their jacks used to be manufactured be Lincoln, but now are Chinese.
I can’t imagine what you do for work but wouldn’t you want to be earning your money with the most precise tools on the market? They might be over priced but the pros far out way the cons
Well, Snap On is definitely quality. But I can understand how a DIY prefers Craftsman. It will get most of the jobs you need done and not kill your pocket. BUT, if you have the money, Snap On all the way.
I bet there's a cart of 10mm wrench's lost in that factory somewhere. Haha
They live with single socks and ball point pens.

What the Hell are they doing using those wrenches?! It's Snap On! Wipe your oily prints off of it and put it back in the display case! There are plenty of Harbor Freight wrenches you can use instead. What were you thinking. If you scratched one...
Man it takes lot of work.
Stahlwille makes the worlds best spanners. Nothing even comes close
i totally agree. stuff snap on.
LOL not ever close to true
bb4jdmlude i bet u love snap on.
they are ok. but are overpriced. my dad spent 180 dollars on a swivell head snap on retchett.(he is a mechanic) it broke on him in a few years. now for 180 dollars i would expect for it to last much longer. his sidchrome and kincrome tools have lasted longer! have you tried stahlwillie. no probably not id say you have your heart set on one brand and say everything else is crap. if you tried stahlwille and felt the spanners you would love them. they fit the nut perfectly and are very strong. they are also still made in germany.
Well my snap on 3/8 has been with me thru 3 years of being an auto mechanic and now 2 years of being a millwright working on machines. I have yet to break or strip it. Also my other buddies have snap on ratchets and none of theirs have broken either. 1 had the screw come out of the flex head end. My snap on dealer replaced it with out even blinking
snap on are not a bad brand at all. my dad uses some snap on sockets and one of their 3/8 ratchets. but spanners he uses stahlwille. the stahlwille spanners have been around for yonks used everyday.
..so why do flare nut wrenches cost soo much more?? Next time i need them i'll just break out the grinder and cut a set of box wrenches.
they are alot thicker and based on 6 sided design.
As a bike mechanic...I say Park Tool!
I really hate how park tool rebrands non-bike-specific tools like combination and adjustable wrenches, allen wrenches, pliers etc. They should stick to cone wrenches, BB and other speciality tools.
Park is made by snap - on isn't it?
Bluepoint (a satin finish clone of the snapon) is now made in Taiwan. But now their polished like a wavy ocean. Barf. If you look on snapons website you'll see a lot of snapons shit is being made over sea's now. But the prices are still outrageous like highly paid US union workers made it...
ladefreakndah on the
What isnt made in kenosha is made in spain
you must be highly paid. you're fired.
👍👍👍
SNAP-ON TOOLS SINCE 1920
Damn I had to sign a contract to finance this video
Wow
if i can give you a hint: try an older set of stahlwille.
thank me later
If I lived in Germany I might, but I don't so I won't.
At 3:29 the wrench is still jacked up.
Snapped a Snap-On wrench once...
No warranty... Never again...
4.04 didn’t fit very well
Statesiders still do not adopt the metric system yet, although they use in wrenches, and they know what a 9 mm. is
I wish we would, working with metric is so easy.
Are these made in China?
21.04.19 - bet process have been brought into the 21st century.
Ranches?
Old video. Way back when SnapOn was made in the USA
You mean they are not anymore?
@@trumpstroll7438 snap-on has never made a tool in their life, they are just a brand that puts their name on it and marks it up, the company Blue Point is who makes their wrench's like in this video, that's why they sued the shit out Harbor freight when they came out with the exact same car jack as snap-on because they went to the same manufacturer and got the same jack and sold it for $200 while snap-on was charging $500. The court ruled they're idiots and have no ground because they didn't produce it then self's. Bottem line, snap-on have never made a tool
Sad but true! Snap-On is sold in Pepboys now!😂🤣
@@backpocketmechanic7751 Dead wrong! I've toured the factory and seen the wrenches being made, right here in the USA. Snap On bought the Blue Point Wrench Company in the late twenties as they needed more capacity and this was a cheaper alternative than building a new factory. Their jacks used to be manufactured be Lincoln, but now are Chinese.
C Hill You have no clue what you’re talking about.
Who in the their right mind can afford snap on anymore.
A lot of people I guess, me being one of them and I just started almost a year ago , have nothing but snap on and mac tools.
I can’t imagine what you do for work but wouldn’t you want to be earning your money with the most precise tools on the market? They might be over priced but the pros far out way the cons
What plating process are they using instead of chrome?
nickle she said
@@SnakeRiverFishingnickle for cleaning and prep
Trivalent chrome for finishing.
I won’t mind if u send me some snap on tools.
1:20 what kind of hammer is that, how many tons?
Its a closed die forging press.
An 8 hours wash is a bit extreme
@willsco76 I've used the same nobrand tools for five years now.
Isnt that much that can go wrong with one.
That's not a hexagon! We learned this as small children! Unless it has 6 sides it's not a hexagon!
said hexagonal not hexagon
@NickoLps hexagonal doesn't mean 6, Hexagon means 6, Hexagonal means a shape that looks like a hexagon.
@NickoLps And if you run a hexagonal broach through a hole twice at different angles, you get what?
This video is great, includes 2 of my favorite things... TOOLS AND FOOD !!!! LMAO
Well, Snap On is definitely quality. But I can understand how a DIY prefers Craftsman. It will get most of the jobs you need done and not kill your pocket. BUT, if you have the money, Snap On all the way.
Did you even watch the video....
Yep @ Collins
4:05 "ye call that a wreench?" (Aussie accent)
