 Hey, what's happening YouTube? Thanks for tuning back into the channel today right here with the rust belt mechanic You have rolled into another episode of nifty tools of the week We've got four different nifty tools here for you guys to enjoy These are tools that have helped me get through my week here at the dealership working flat rate working hard Hopefully you guys enjoy them first set that we're going to come to today Is this awesome 14 piece socket set from sp tools? This one is going to have a wide variety of different impact sockets for you The part number on this one is sp 500 1-4 like I said 14 pieces here for you and the cool thing about this is it's a set that has both the nylon Non-marring style sockets here as well as a five piece standard socket set in with it along with the universal joint The impact version all this is half inch drive by the way the three inch extension bar as well as the five inch extension bar, too The sizes are pretty standard for what you would see the lug nut sockets Which are the non-marring ones over here are in 14 17 19 21 22 and 24 Which covers just about every single style of lug nut that you're going to deal with in day to day use Now what I really like about these is that they're color-coded So even if this EVA foam tray, which is a really actually high quality dense foam tray That it's not going to be with those cheap ones that you get off You know from China or something that just flake away really fast It's a real high density foam and it's got a harder plastic top to it So it's not going to foot the flake away from the top section. So nice storage with it I like that. It's very well organized in a tight location Usually a lot of the blow molded cases and stuff they spread out the tools too much takes up too much space But this one I do like this one I like that they're color-coded like I said because if it does get dirtier or something like that You're able to know that okay when I'm grabbing for a 19 I'm just pulling this yellow socket right here really quick easy to be able to do it five pieces in the standard sockets Those are going to be for the smaller sizes 10 12 13 14 and 18 Millimeters on those respectively. I really like this socket set It's great for a beginner set because it does come with standard the standard Smaller impact sockets as well as the wheel lug nut sockets great for a beginner mechanic has those nylon sockets So you guys aren't going to be messing up any kind of chrome fancy expensive wheels really great kit You go over to sp tools dash USA comm They've got these right on there for about 224 bucks you can compare that to any kind of snap-on or Mac full set of impact sockets alone That's going to be like 20 per 20 30 percent off of that one But anywhere you go you're not going to see impact sockets extension bars universal in nylon sockets on the same set I think it's a pretty great buy for a pretty nifty tool Next tool that we're going to come to today. We're going to get right into this Irwin vice grip 10 inch extra grip Plyer set. So the part number on this one is going to be IRHT 82576 and this is the new designed Irwin style vice grips What I really like about these is they take a lot less effort to pull for however much tension that is going on to the head Really crazy story about this one is that my uncle's brother Actually from a different marriage. He actually designed this set of pliers right here with this specialty It looks like it's got an extra little arm off to the side That's how it's able to get the I guess from what they say 20% better gripping power The cool story behind that one is is he produced these and he it made this idea about four or five years ago And he made this for a couple of guys coming back overseas from war in Afghanistan And he was saying you know a lot of these guys had lost some feeling in their hands couldn't squeeze things very well But still wanted to be able to work in the garage work in the shop So he made a set of vice grips that were easier for him to pull So they pitched that Irwin bought it up vice grip made them. There they are today So not only do they clamp the 20% easier than any of the other vice grips They are also the quick release. So the quick release pad handle right here is able to flip them open a whole lot easier than other Vice grips also I like that they are from Irwin and because they are when you can find them just about anywhere You can find them at Lowe's Home Depot carries them every once in a while you get them on Amazon and you can get them for pretty cheap This set I believe over on Amazon costs right around 15 bucks I'll be sure to put a link in the description to that one really neat design Maybe you guys check these out throw those in your box, too Third up on this week's nifty tools list is gonna be the snap-on fdx sockets Now I know you guys haven't seen this in my toolbox before because I just couldn't bring myself to purchase them They're the newest thing from snap-on the flank drive extra sockets Now the design of these is something that I guess that's newer to the market and they're able to grip up to 50% better That's what they advertise at least I've had my chance to use these over the last week or so here And I'd have to say I'm kind of impressed by them. They they definitely do the job on the grip I use them a lot of times when you have rusted rounded bolts living here in the rust belt That's pretty much an everyday occurrence I'm always grabbing the 15 16 millimeter because I got to do these exhaust Recalls on these big 5,500 trucks and never fails the exhaust clamp bolts and nuts are always rusted to crap These things have gripped them every single time without rounding them off these sockets compare You know compiled with a really good impact You're gonna snap this the actual fastener off before you round it every single time I think it's absolutely amazing what they've done is a really good job Now to get this amazing set of sockets you are gonna have to pay an astronomical price as well This specific part number is two one five Y s f s m y and this is the larger set metric six to 20 millimeter in the three eighths drive deep chrome sockets the chroming on these is Fantastic obviously snap-ons chroming is great second to done They distinct the these sockets with the indented collar the collet compared to the standard snap-on sockets Which is going to have the collet smooth all the way down So if you guys do have end up having the standard sockets out as well as the fdx sockets You can't tell the difference between the two to put them back into the set I really like the snap-on magnetic trays that these come with standard and of course They better come with something awesome as well as a nice little case to go on to it for the 414 bones for a socket set you heard right $414 for a three eighths socket set never thought I would have said that but if you want the best in the industry which Unfortunately, you know, I'd have to say these are pretty much one of the best ones that you guys are gonna find You're gonna have to pay that outrageous premium price now Let's look into what makes these sockets grip so well and see what they have to do You can see kind of the shape of these sockets are a little bit different And from what I see in here on these is that the tolerances on these are actually really really tight So on putting these on standard sockets So say if this is gonna be like a 18 millimeter here It's gonna fit really tight on standard non marred up 18 millimeter socket So that's why I usually only get these out for the rusted crusted You know kind of bolts from open here in Ohio As you can see here up in the corners of the collets which would be grabbing onto the corners of the fastener They look to be a little bit more rounded now what this reminds me of most is gonna be over in the SP tools They're quad drive wrenches. Let me grab one of those just to compare The SP tools quad drive wrenches as you can see in the open inside of the wrench They have the same exact design Gonna be in there the little rounded indents into that open end that grabs the fastener Supposedly advertised to give 50% better gripping power on it. I wonder where that design is gonna work from So I think that this is gonna work just as well So you guys are gonna have to stay tuned because I'm actually gonna be doing some wrench comparisons on open end wrenches To see what's the big hub up with all of their special for a light drive plus quad drive extra drive But that'll be in a different video Last but certainly not least in the quintuplet of Awesome nifty tools of the week is gonna be the SP tools Big freakin pry bar that I've got sitting here in the back part number on this one It's gonna be sp3 3 8 1 4. This is gonna be a 1,400 millimeter as advertised which if you put that over into inches is right around 55 inches long Comparing that one to snap-ons 54 inch long set of pry bar that they've got for them This is a very very nice comparable pry bar the handle on this one I like even more because it's bigger in diameter than the other manufacturers It's big all the way to the end. It doesn't have that nose down collet that a lot of the other pry bar sets have I also like that it's got more of the rubberized design than the hard plastic I'm not really a big fan of the snap-on hard plastic style pry bars I know they've got a couple of different ones, but the grip on this one I think blows the snap-on in the Mac pry bars out of the water on top of that It's got these striking end which Normally on a four foot tall pry bar. Are you really going to be striking the end of it that much? No, you're gonna be hanging every ounce of weight you can offer this to price some gigantic control arms or bars or whatever you're Really messing up when you have to use a four foot pry bar This thing is absolutely amazing like I said 55 56 inches long the finish on it is awesome It's got the black hardened coating to it So it's not going to be rusting crusting all over the place. It's a fantastic hard tool I've put my full weight at like 275 pounds onto this bad boy never budging an inch This thing isn't going to move big old pieces steel now price wise comparison to the snap-on 54 inch pry bar is going to be coming in at 220 bones We go over to SP tools that's USA's website. They've got sale running on this one right now 199 bucks. I think it's a steal of a deal for this big of a pry bar something that's going to be just as high quality Even better. I like the grip a lot better, you know It's something that I'm definitely going to be holding on to and using for a long time to come It's not ever going to be replaced in any way shape or form I would definitely recommend for you guys to pick up this big freaking pry bar from SP tools USA In a good fashion with some of the early nifty tools of the week I wanted to point out a couple of nifty Content creators in the tool and automotive fields the one I really wanted to point out to you guys on YouTube is One man shop one man shop is a really good at home channel He does everything from a couple of builds in his garage some tool reviews He just did a great video on a snap-on tool haul and the coolest thing He just did a 1,000 subscriber giveaway Congratulations on hitting 1,000 subs there.
