Ever since the old Mac, matco, proto and snap on patients and designs expired over the last 3 or 4 years, these and many others, all the way to harbor freight, now use those very same designs and patient numbers for their tools. Have bought several pair of different hand tools, specially pliers, over the past 2 years and compare to my older Mac sets and they are identical in every single way possible!
On one hand that sucks because the people who worked hard and did lots of RnD are getting screwed over, but good for us because the common man can afford great tools we couldn't afford years ago, for half the price. I'm glad I'm getting into tool shopping, now seems like a great time. Harbor Freight is doing so well their "super coupons" don't work for like 70% of their higher brands because they know people are going to buy them 😂
Those look exactly like the old allen brand tools I used to by and have hard almost zero issues in almost 20 years. Allen brand was good quality for the price. I wanna check this new company out and see if it is the same maker now
you dont test them or tell os how much slop or how much force does it take before they fail. there are dozens of brands that are shiny chrome but most are junk
The insulated tools are tempting because of their price. Of course I'd need to see some protection testing versus the name-brands before I think about that.
The sockets look thicker than a standard chrome American socket. The American high quality stuff is thin and strong. This cheaper stuff is thicker to achieve the same or similar strength. The old dude probably likens this stuff to high quality industrial tools that would be heavy and thick. like a 3/4" set.
Got this is more like The comedy hour. Or I should say, for 6 minutes. Guys SATA is the overseas version similar to gearwrench. and I can't see how so many people think that is great. They're okay but a lot of their stuff is crap. I haven't spoke to somebody gearwrench you laughed and said you had some of our stuff is crap. I actually think sata is actually better than gearwrench. I'm kind of wondering did any of you guys ever fix anything? like I mean with your own two hands laying on the ground with some jack stands or taking a motor apart or something like that.
Number one tool brand in China...most of these tools are made in China not Taiwan. Just another Chinese tool brand ,trying to look like SK.. junk, compared to American made tools. If you want mid grade tools just buy gearwrench......love the channel 👍🇺🇸

Did Randy ever find the tool he needed?
I’ve never heard of them before but they look good quality.
Every hand tool company now needs to have that lifetime guarantee to compete
Yall should do the 213pc Sata mechanic tool box set. No one on you tube has done that set, it would be interesting to see.
Eh.......I don't know I still love my Tekton tools but I would love to see Sata vs Tekton sometime.
Tekton will beat sata but tekton is pricey

you cant own a way to do something forever. patents must expire @@jacobwebb8818
I saw a bunch of SATA tools on Amazon about a week ago...
never really seen them before that...
they do look decent and at a good price....👀
Thumbs up for Randy!!!
more of the grumpy guy please

They were former Nicholson
No surprise. Sata is the company who made tools for GearWrench, Apex Tool etc.
Sata and Apex- lifetime warranty for the win. High end for those of us that aren't dumb enough to pay Snap On's prices
you dont test them or tell os how much slop or how much force does it take before they fail. there are dozens of brands that are shiny chrome but most are junk
The pliers look like the Quinn Electrician pliers from HF and the ratchet looks like the Pittsburgh and Kobalt Ratchet.
Thanks Randy 👍🥃

Good old Randy, he's been around for year's
Hes awesome
Always up for trying new tools specially from independent companies
That's the right attitude
amazing content
ok randy grate ,love randy he can hang around the shop any time. sata a good tools
in china evey car repair shop use sata tools...because it is lifetime warranty
What Randy was looking for is called a flex head ratchet
Wait, which snowblower did Randy get?
Check out Jonnesway tool they are pretty good , its a Taiwan like snap on with Taiwan price
Yep. Nascar mechanic use jonnesway as well.
So it’s basically Husky.
those pliers look suspiciously similar to the Masterforce (Menards) pliers
I like to use their air hoses on my air compressors. They are high quality, long, withstand pressure, and do not pass heat to the other end.
I am from Colombia and Sata is so expensive brand is so good
Randy showed up to borrow some tools he just broke 😂. Love that guy. He likes to put the torque on it. Use some WD40 Randy.
Randy!
Any follow-up from Randy on these?
He still has them. No issues.
How about some gray tools canada
How much does each box cost?
"Can't swear cause where on TH-cam" lol
Telling an OG mechanic he can't swear...
Sooo what is it about these tools that makes them “Industrial” ?
The sockets look thicker than a standard chrome American socket. The American high quality stuff is thin and strong. This cheaper stuff is thicker to achieve the same or similar strength. The old dude probably likens this stuff to high quality industrial tools that would be heavy and thick. like a 3/4" set.
Sata in malaysia is very expensive
I am shocked that you guys did not have a swivel head ratchet. #TIACREW
In really tight places, a breaker bar with just a socket works better.
No Flex head ratchet ... WHATTTT
The ratchet he's talking about is called a flex head ratchet
These look like the husky 72 tooth ratchets
I think were i live the have diffrent name signet

Bad attitude
Btw,Germany is home of tough tools. USA tools dont have standards,oni TM or pattent.
Looks like Joe the Framer has an unsupported by tests opinion. Let's pay attention to his qualified review.
GearWrench is SATA, both owned by Apex and many of the GearWrench tools are made in the SATA factory.
Gear wrench is trash and over prices
