Winter told corona virus , hold my beer . The whole center on the US got dumped on. Looking like a microwave burrito. Hot on the outside and frozen in the middle.
@@KoonTrucking hello sir, i know you love making these videos but i wanted to share to you directly what im about to do to my 60 inch snap on epiq and some inside info i have that get you a tremendous amount of views. I have discovered a snap on hack that is very awesome
I think that Matco should have been incorporated the blue color as well as the red color in all of their tools because it’s the colors of their sign. Red white and blue. Great video Clay!!!!
Matco Michael must have made a real good impression on MATCO....was watching MAVTV yesterday and the MATCO commercial with him front and center came on ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Honestly, that’s what made me look at snap on screwdrivers, the hi viz. can’t get em new it seems so I got the matco fluorescent green. All the Ernst organizers I have are hi viz.
@@mikemuzzell5167 tell that to the hi visibility yellow snap on screwdriver that came with one of our cars. It was still stuck between the ac condenser and the radiator. Not stuck, just sitting there completely visible. And easy to reach.
Reporting in from Texas. Most of us have our electricity back and we’re starting to get water. It was a hell of a week but we’re coming back strong. Thank you and Michael for keeping us in your thoughts. 🤜🤛
I like my tools to be colored just for the sake of getting different colors than the other techs. Helps to know if its mine with ease. also why i try to have all my tools the same color easier to keep up with.
Texas here.... I'm gunna say... I had fun camping in my living room. Fire place going (gas), making dinner in my fire place, wife and I... Well you know.... I'm looking forward to the next 10 year snow..... I love Matco and Matco Mike. Been a Matco fan boy since 1988 and counting.
I've had my matco 88 3/8s locking flex for over 7 years and i just had to have the head warranty because the teeth for the locking mechanism were slipping. This is my go to ratchet for almost every situation
I’ve been doing some research and what I was told was the matco ratchet is the best so I went ahead and ordered the blue soft grip from my dealer I can’t wait to see it
I have red and brown tool box. My brown tool box are Kennedy, I am machinist. They do not offer different colors, in my field. I do enjoy watching your video. Because of you I did buy Matco Tools, looking for buy more. I do have have some Snap On tools, I really like them. So I am going to more Matco Tool. I do enjoy using the pro tools made buy Mac , Matco , Snap On. Keep up the good work
That's how it was growing up in Louisiana. The entire state would shut down for a dusting. Been in Minnesota for 26 years now and they don't shut down for anything! My kids don't get snow days. They're jealous that I grew up getting them. 🤣
this wether sucks I ordered a slide top tool cart from my snap on dealer over a month ago and I still haven't seen it its driving me crazy I need that tool cart. keep the videos coming clay love watching you guys.
Clay, where I live in Canada I finally found out that we do have 1 Matco dealer. So I called him last week about getting a Blue ratchet and he refuses to sell to me because He told me because I am not a business or the fact that I do not work for a huge company he will not sell to me. I told him it will be a cash sale and I would meet him anywhere in the city I live in but he says nope. So I told him he must have enough money to turn away a couple hundred dollar sale.
Love my snap on ratchets but have three old match 2 3/8 and 1 1/4 still use them it’s all about preference if the tool is good and is reliable I’ll buy it and use it 😎👍
great video!! thank you.. soooo i agree with you bro, my matco ratchets are the best..My locking head 3/8 ratchet is my fav, along with my short 3/8 flex head matco. i do have snap on ratchets, and the one i used to use alot was my bent handled flex head 3/8 drive ratchet. when you go to break a stubborn bolt loose with the snappy ratchet beware that when that bolt finally lets loose, for some strange reason, the snap on ratchet reverses to the tighten position or to a neutral position ,and then you have to reset the lever back to the loosen position to continue loosening that fastener... i hear snappys finally curing this issue after all these years.... cheers guys
As a northerner ill tell you salt for your drive is great, if you cab get softener salt from the hardware store that will work just as well. Don't want anyone to slip on their drive you can get hurt doing so.
I love the matco ratchets,feels good but It's the most broken ratchet in the shop.the snapon feels different but havnt broke any. Have 4 different combos for 4 years now,still strong. That blue though sure does look good
Yes..... up north were laughing about that But here’s a funny story, being from Illinois I’m used to this type of mess, but when I was going to college in Arkansas (Fayetteville) I remember getting an email saying the campus was closing at 4pm because IT MIGHT SNOW. ...... IT MIGHT SNOW.
But I will say that lots of states like there, don’t have the infrastructure to deal with thst, or have the road salt to deal with it. Also if you go south starting in Kentucky or so, EVERY BRIDGE has a sign saying “bridges will ice before roads” or something like that. Go further north you don’t see those signs because “yeah...... no shit, we deal with it ever winter”. But driving to Florida twice a year, and Fayetteville for grad school it’s something I picked up on
I made a purchase on the Matco truck last week. So I purchased one of the 1/4” hyper step drill bits and I noticed something odd in my receipt. 1/4” hyperstep drill bit No warranty Beef and cheese stick Lifetime warranty. I’m going to have to tell my dealer I need my beef and sausage stick warranted next week. I bet he didn’t even notice that.
I like the blue that looks cool! I know for me i have been using green on my handles and so on and i love it. I didn't want red I'm sick of red that is for me.
A blue handled pry bar would be the perfect addition to my tool box. I have one 33" green bar and it's definitely my favorite. Sure could use smaller sizes in blue *hint hint MATCO*
I live in somerset pa by the crash sight and they don’t do crap for our roads also lol I’d take four inches over the foot and half I have lol great video clay keep it up
Oh boy Clay & Michael i been had my blue 3/8 long locking flex head ratchet part no. BFR158LFB fron Dan Fagan here in Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania, i luv it!!! 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Oh there have been times up here in North Dakota when health care workers went to work with tracked side by sides and snowmobiles. Four years ago we had a very tough winter with multiple blizzards. I know a couple doctors who went to work and back with chains on all four corners of their 3/4 ton diesel pickups. That particular storm the plows in town here literally quit. If you were driving in town you were literally on your own.
I actually like the Maroon, but if they start to offer anything in purple i'm going to be in double the debt I have now with them. Already have a purple box. Love the new blue stuff though
Clay, I live in the north, in a little small town that you probably never heard of. The state and township don't plow out here. Its up to us to do it yourself, and we still have to drive over it.
Shoot I sure am digging the Matco ratchets, I bought 3 in less then a month. The slim head design is a plus. Also those blue/black ratchets they are pretty nice in person.
So my dealer has a few 84 inch epics an is trying to get me to trade my 68 inch epic in. Was wondering ur thoughts on that clay. I take a lot of what u say in ur videos an apply them to what I do
@@KoonTrucking he is trying to get rid of them he ordered them back in October an they just sent them to him. He said he could give me back what I have paid on mine an I would make money on the deal lol.
@@KoonTrucking I’m paying $50 a week now an my dealer just got back to me an the payment would be $65.23. The new box comes with the rhino top work surface an a ton more room than my old one. I didn’t think that I would need anything bigger than the 68 inch epic that I have now but. It never ends when ur working on diesel motors as u know. I’m 47 and this is my favorite thing to do now for work. Hope all is well with you and your family. Have a good Monday clay. Thanks for talking
Lmao you’re right about us Northerns! Here in Michigan we got 8 inches a few days ago and 4 inches last night with -15 outside. All you gotta do is throw your truck/Jeep in 4WD and go!
We always get solid ice here in arkansas...it actually got cold enough that we got some real snow for once! Still shut us down....ive never seen 9" of good powder since I've lived here ...was colder than Alaska and Canada!
Here in the deeper part of the “Heart of Dixie” it’s a sunny, cloudless day. But, up till late morning it was preferable to enjoy the day from the inside of a window. I lack a garage or a shop at my house to really do what I want on days like this before I go to work in the afternoon. I’m all for the Crimson on my side of y’all’s border.
Have yet to see mine work on swollen caps usually use 22 or one that will grab it enough to get out. I see the caps being twisted due to wrong or worn sockets
@@lonewolfyz1 the half size flip sockets are literally made for the exact purpose of swollen lug nuts.. Unless it's so mangled you gotta use extractor socket.. Half size flip socket gets it done 99% of the time..
They do that north of the twin cities in Minnesota too. I spent time in Walker MN a few years back, ice fishing and that was the only way to get around.
I install smart drive brand camera systems on most of all of our truck and crane combos One on each fender one in the cab facing out and then a back up camera or even on the boom rest of the drywall crane. With the hydraulic fork attached. So I am always drilling and tapping making my own holes using stainless steel Bowman clamps for all the fiber optic wires and holding stuff in the cab in the dash. Also Macko has the best bendable rubber wire chasers for running wires I will send u the part #
I would like to say that I don't laugh at snow as I live with it every year. I do agree with most the buying equipment for this and not knowing when or if it will happen is not smart. Stay safe
I live in Northern Tennessee right on the Kentucky line. To get to work I have to drive about 12 miles through back roads to get to the interstate. I drive an 03 Dodge dakota. Manual. Little bitty 2 wheel drive that needs new back tires. Friday was my first day back at work and some of the roads here are still ice rinks. There is one area where I have to go down a hill, over a bridge, and then back up another hill. Needless to say, I lost traction going down the hill, had to ditch the truck into a ditch right off the road to keep from going into the stream, and then wait. I called some other people and they were on their way but it would've taken them forever. And they also might've gotten stuck. Then by a miracle a 4 wheel drive Diesel (with tire chains!) Came down the hill. Robertson County water company checking to see if there was a broken water main. They ended up not only pulling me out but also giving me a tow with a strap up the icy hill and then over 2 miles to the next road that was clear.
Ordered my 1/4" blue handle on January 30th showed them in stock.. on the 1st of February Matco contatcted me and said they were back ordered. Still waiting...
Hope y’all got your milk, bread, eggs and candles 🤣. Never understood why people were hell bent on making French Toast using candle heat during a snowstorm.
@@KoonTrucking yes they are square. I’m personally not that big of a fan of the square handles on their tools but when it comes to their pry bars it’s not half bad. I almost bought a set but ended up going with the Snap On ones and wish I went with matco
Problem with soft grip tools is ATF ruins them. I am an older mechanic and love the hard grip for two reasons. One chemical resistance, two easy to clean so you don’t track grease oils inside of vehicle when you do interior jobs.
Tub ‘O Towels man..... I know you said you are an older mechanic and if you try them you will see the game has changed but they keep you me tools going. Just wipe them down and don’t worry about it.
That’s A lot of Snow for the south. I’m not sure if MATCO is doing a Blue/Black 3/8” Drive, but that’s the order request I put three immediately after you drop the video last Saturday. My Question is will MATCO Give you a New Ratchet if your handle is just to beat & not comfortable anymore to the mechanic?
I know I'm a mechanic in Austin Texas and we were shut down for four days in the shop didn't have power to the shop and most of us mechanics didn't have power or water at our houses
Winter told corona virus , hold my beer . The whole center on the US got dumped on. Looking like a microwave burrito. Hot on the outside and frozen in the middle.

Honestly, that’s what made me look at snap on screwdrivers, the hi viz. can’t get em new it seems so I got the matco fluorescent green. All the Ernst organizers I have are hi viz.

Big fan of High-Viz but it gets dirty really fast and is an absolute pain to clean. Yes I clean my tools.
Watching this 3 years later, they sure listened on the colors!

God bless my friend stay safe.
Purple and lime green is what I want in my toolbox
I wasn't aware that you guys were getting snow, Clay. Please be safe and stay warm as best you can.
I am crane technician our snow mounds around our shop are 15 foot high from all the snow piles love your videos!!
Snap on has blue handle pry bars. I have a set haven’t opened them cause it was an impulse buy and I loved the color.
Yes Cromwell has blue pry bars. At least they did. I bought a set in 2008 off the truck

I'm from Alabama, where a dusting of snow shuts everything down. I lived in New York for 4 years, where you'd get 3 feet and still have to go to work

Damn straight I'm an hour half north of nyc I know all about it late to work from snow is not really liked up here by your boss
Love the blue handle i have had my blue handle crome rachet for all most a year
No better tool color than that blue from matco! 💯
Poor Michael essentially admits it too. YOU told people, and then he had to say he didn’t know. Eye opener for sure
Ahhhh purple got to get purple!!!!
I’d buy purple!
this wether sucks I ordered a slide top tool cart from my snap on dealer over a month ago and I still haven't seen it its driving me crazy I need that tool cart. keep the videos coming clay love watching you guys.

They picked up my aunt in PA one year in a hoover craft no bs came right up to to the window
Love the blue and black!!
Your matco dealer is so cool.
I want a good quality wood handle screwdriver set. The wood handle is great for having grip when your hands are oily.
Check out Nepros
Would love one of those ratchets! Thanx for the video Clay 👍
Love the video I got the 3/8 blue handle ratchet now need to have 3/8 in back with the blue handle that will be Cool
Matco Michael the man for still getting out to you
I went to him! Haha he couldn’t get out of his driveway more than likely and the roads are solid ice
@@KoonTrucking lol
You all be safe where I am in indiana. We have 8-12 inches of snow
It’s warm again in Texas !!
I have all the blue and chrome now waiting for all my blue and black

Yep from Wisconsin so used to the snow. But like you said we are prepared for it. I just wish I had the rust free cars to work on.
Cornwell does have a blue handled pry bar i bought mine from Cornwell about 11 years ago
Isn’t it the hard handle square ones ? 😬
@@KoonTrucking no it is the soft wrap around similar to the long handle ratchet from video and it is a through tang so you can beat on it
can't figure out to add a picture of it
Love matco,but hate the maroon. It already looks dirty!good video
Not a fan of the maroon either.
Yeah up north we use snowmobiles. I remember going to basketball practice in high school many times on my sled
I might be an old cranky dude but I liked the old opening. But other than that I love the videos especially the Matco ones.
Kinda surprised the municipalities in your area aren’t sub contracting snow removal to construction companies with road graters and pay loaders
Broke
Yes..... up north were laughing about that
But here’s a funny story, being from Illinois I’m used to this type of mess, but when I was going to college in Arkansas (Fayetteville) I remember getting an email saying the campus was closing at 4pm because IT MIGHT SNOW. ...... IT MIGHT SNOW.

I had a set of OTC pry bars that were blue and black.

Lifetime warranty.

@@KoonTrucking yes they are square. I’m personally not that big of a fan of the square handles on their tools but when it comes to their pry bars it’s not half bad. I almost bought a set but ended up going with the Snap On ones and wish I went with matco
Happy Saturday y’all!
Problem with soft grip tools is ATF ruins them. I am an older mechanic and love the hard grip for two reasons. One chemical resistance, two easy to clean so you don’t track grease oils inside of vehicle when you do interior jobs.
Tub ‘O Towels man..... I know you said you are an older mechanic and if you try them you will see the game has changed but they keep you me tools going. Just wipe them down and don’t worry about it.
Matco maroon is a standard for me.
That’s A lot of Snow for the south. I’m not sure if MATCO is doing a Blue/Black 3/8” Drive, but that’s the order request I put three immediately after you drop the video last Saturday. My Question is will MATCO Give you a New Ratchet if your handle is just to beat & not comfortable anymore to the mechanic?
Cool. I don’t think they will replace the handle useless it it broke
I know I'm a mechanic in Austin Texas and we were shut down for four days in the shop didn't have power to the shop and most of us mechanics didn't have power or water at our houses
That sucks man hope things get back to normal soon
We went back to work on Friday but that means we have to work Sunday cuz we're normally closed on Sunday
Hey clay do you know if on the black matco rachets they can change the handle to get the blue one?
Nope we covered that in this video even
They don’t come off
@@KoonTrucking good to know! Thanks
