The V series were all gone as of three weeks ago at the one Lowes of three that had them in the Warner Robin's/Macon Georgia area.I got some, I like it.
I just ran a drill on my V-series ratchets to break them in. It made a noticeable difference and I didn't even use lubricant like the guy in the video.
@@mrrobotto3321 so I did that with the 1/4 V series ratchet in my upcoming video where I reviewed one of the 38 piece 1/4” socket and bit set and it didn’t help much at all, but I have seen some other videos where it helps some to run them on a drill. Also yesterday I was testing some of the V Series bare ratchets that were marked down to $15 and they were really stiff with horrendous backdrag. I think some are better than others
@@Drewcipher5150 good point, maybe not the best tool set for certain parts of the country but the extension bar as the handle is pretty slick in my opinion
Aren't these prices gonna come down more...........after Christmas? No? Isn't that what happens every year? Wait.......these prices will come down because they need to move stock, all year long. I made a mistake to shop impulsively thinking I was paying the going rate at Harbor Freight. Had I waited (which I did on mini tool boxes) for Black Friday, I would have been better off. After Black Friday, three weeks.....I found some great price drops on stuff I wanted? Now.......I'm saving to clean up on the post X-mas sales. Be patient.
Increase playback speed to 1.75x and this will be more like a normal conversation.
Great video, good details.

I picked up that 1/4 inch compact v series metric set at $40 a few weeks ago. Good deal then ... Even better at 5 bucks less. :)

@PrestigeWhirlwide yesss! I actually have 7 new v series ratchets. 1 of them was lubricated way better than the others out of the box.
If you have bought anything that comes in clearance, you can come to the manager and have the difference in price.
You missed the Kobalt power tool kit with a case, 2 batteries, charger and a select power tool, went from 149, to 99 to 89!!!
I am English you do not know how lucky you are to have such a choice of tools. We have good,bad, or ugly 😂.
Parkside is probably better than Craftsman these days. Just uglier.
Yeah, that’s what I want is an ice cold metal bar as a handle?

That's because craftsmen
@@TomBrooks-u9l good point but the V-Series have some good features and not many drawbacks. They are a good value at these prices
For the Lowe’s price, I don’t give a damn about back drag
They loosen up with use. Very smooth
Kobalt doesn't make Channellock pliers. Kobalt and Channellock are different brands 🥴
Uninformed people called water pump pliers Channellock. They don't understand it's a brand name.
@theresister5120 exactly, and my point is that tool enthusiasts should know this stuff
