Well I just spent $200 because of that last section on tool box tools
Can you test different coolants and answer the “don’t mix coolant” question?
To be fair, none of these “all inclusive” sets are perfect. They always seem to be missing something…. but having NO wrenches makes zero sense to me 🤔.
Thank you. I’m going out to get the gear wrench set
If you’re looking for someone to donate The gearwrench set to, I’m your man. I’ll pay for the shipping.
The best tools to get is dewalt, there tools are good quality and won’t break the bank
Id love to see you test adjustable pry bars. I just broke a gearwrench brand one at work yesterday
Thanks for the awesome video! One video idea: car wash brushes! It seems most of them I use lose their bristles unscrew in twist easily and don’t do a good job so that would be a helpful review.
Very Thorough Review NICE !
As always great videos! Thanks
I bought the $99 husky set for work n I tell you it got us out of some jams. It paid for itself n then some lol. I winded up giving it away when I switched buildings. We never broke 1 tool in the kit n we did some sketchy repairs lol. ( facilities/ maintance)
When will we hear about your truck project???
I was really hoping to see the Milwaukee socket set in this test maybe next time
Thanks for always giving us such great detailed reviews! (in the voice of cousin Eddie) “And if it wouldn’t be too much, I’d like to get something for you, Todd… something real nice.”
I can't stand sets with size skips and I won't buy them. I don't want to use a 1/2 inch on a 13 mm, I want to use the 13mm on the 13mm.
Husky is missing 12mm, 14mm and 19mm wrenches? You use those all the time!
I built my own tool kit but my problem is finding a good portable box. Could you compare those?
Do best deep sockets next.
I guess I was hoping you bought a Snap On general service set, but about 1/3 of the way through I realized you did not. Lol
can you do best showerhead?
Great video! I hate sets that skip sizes and I hate sets that are all 12 point sockets!
the gear wrench set looks tempting 😛 ive got 4 tool boxes in my truck at all times all from toptul i just think a set like the gearwrench wouldnt fit under my rear bench seat like they do
Amazing video!
Another Banger!
Can you do de-icing windshield washer fluid? See if it makes a difference.
I need to buy a mechanics set soon and I'm liking the Starwork and GearWrench. They are pricey, but I like the setups they offer. Awesome video and thanks!
I love everything you do… It’s firewood heating season on the farm…Do those creosote remover logs work ?
Do burning aluminum cans work as good as burning water softener pellets ? Help us find out the truth and prevent your fans from burning our houses down due to creosote chimney build up …Thank you in advance kind sir !!
I believe Hart has their own kit, why wasn’t it included in the tests? If they don’t have a kit then sorry for the misinformation.
I would recommend an assortment of zip ties also for the emergency kit.
