- The Snap On Toolbox journey continues into the lower Cab beginning with the Metric Spanner drawer. Also some backstory about about where the Snap On toolboxes came from and Doc's tool organization madness.
I guess when your not into something as an adult and only remember bike riding as a means to get around prior to a car you can loose touch and not realize how much somethings have changed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this matter shows you can always learn from your fellow man
I really love your explanation on metric vs SAE. 100% AGREE. Love your videos
Sae is very simple if you use your brain. And he used a terrible example of 11/64. Wrenches and sockets are mostly increments of 1/16 not 1/64. N it's simple you have 1 inch divided in 4 is quarters. 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 what's in between quarters? 8ths 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, what's in between 8ths? 16ths 5/16, 7/16, 9/16, 11/16, 13/16, 15/16 then 1 inch. You don't like it bc you don't understand it I could argue against metric for measurements of length. Like how long is 110 centimeters or 100 millimeters? You have no idea. You just know that 2 is bigger then 1. If I asked you how long 250 mm is you wouldn't even know but if I said how long is 48 inches you would know it's 4ft. So it's just learning it , either metric or sae. But you don't know metrics either, only that the higher the number, the bigger it is.
"Kilometers to go before I sleep". This is why I tune in! I always enjoy the creative diction and concise descriptions of the world. Thanks doc!
I have that 8/10 snappy. It’s great and I use it all the time. I have similar macs that are 8 and 10 but I always grab that one unless it’s already in use somewhere and I can grab one of the other ones quicker
Good Evening Doc.😀 I have that same little combo wrench set as well, love them. But, years ago I was working on something with my 4mm T handle hex. The manufacture used blue lock tight on the socket head screws. So I got out the 4mm wrench to give me a little extra leverage, the open end did not fit, too small.....All the others wrenches where fine...
I've seen people sacrifice a torx bit into a ill-sized hex head. Just pound it in with a hammer.
A note on your SAE complaints: I feel very privileged that aircraft here in the US are almost ENTIRELY standard, SAE hardware. Having to use those sizes and phrases every day has been a nice brain exercise. But I will always admit, metric is the way to go. Even when the tool truck comes by, it's rare he has SAE in stock!
Hey doc, I’m really enjoying your toolbox tour videos. I was curious on what your thoughts were on the Williams tool brand? It’s suppose too be a cheaper option that snap on sells. Also if you haven’t already I’d check out bahco tools . I’m pretty sure snap on buys bahco’s adjustable wrench’s and soft grip punch’s and rebrands them. Snap on quality you can buy on Amazon? Keep wrenching my friend.
I’ve got a few Williams around here. Good stuff. OEM to Snap On so some Williams might be hard to differentiate from SO without labels.
BAHCO was swedish but Snap-on bought the name so its a sub of snap-on now. Cheaper but still good is my guess on the direction. Here in sweden everyone has loads of old BAHCO tools laying around, from 50 years ago and still working fine
You’re a boss.
The only caveat with the folding hex key sets is the awkward way they must be repositioned after each stroke. Portability is nice but not for precision work.keep up the good work!
SAE/imperial/standard should be preserved only to show how convoluted things were in the past and how arbitrary hierarchies are used to confuse. Fractions are still more intuitive though. No one says "let's split it in .5". Also my starrett squares and english bench chisels are standard.
Do you realize how much more complicated metrics are when measuring length? How tall are you in millimeters? How long is 310 millimeters or 500 centimeters? You only think it's simple bc of sockets bc you know 2 is bigger than 1, but you don't understand metrics either. It's all the same. Just as "complicated" Sae is so easy. divide 1 into 4ths in between 4ths are 8ths in between 8ths are 16ths. It's literally just cutting everything into halfs. Opposed to 1234 like metric.
9:40...Stubbies and midgets are different... not just different terminology but actually different tools
Aren’t we supposed to say “little people” wrenches?.. just double checking.
Who buys an 8000 dollar bike? Thanks for sharing
You'd be surprised. $4-5k is quality entry level now. So $8k is just a bigger committment. The local stores around here are filled with $5k bikes. I think covid also upped the bike game since there was that little voice rattling around in the back of your head saying this could be the last bike you'll ever buy.
