 Hey guys, hey, you know what day it is? That's right. It's nifty freakin tool day today right here with the rest belt mechanic We've got a fresh set of nifty tools for you guys to enjoy Quite a few wrenches that I picked up over the last couple weeks and a new snap on light So stay tuned and we'll get rocking through these So for those of you who are just now tuning into the channel every once in a while Usually every other week or so I like to have a nifty tools of the week episode Where I go through some newer tools that I've picked up over the last couple weeks and I've got a chance to use and Maybe these tools are going to be the ones to be able to help you guys out Just like they help me out on my day-to-day job working as a mechanic here at the dealership So today I've got a quite a few different wrenches here If you guys know and have seen my toolbox tour before you'll know that my wrench game was Kind of on the weak side. I had enough to get by But I'm missing some and these are the ones that I picked up here recently To be able to fill in the blanks of what I was missing. So first up here on the list We have this set from Matco. This is the flat wrench set part number is TW8047M This is a seven piece wrench set ranging in size from 9 all the way up to 19 These are extremely handy for those of you guys who are working in really tight quarters You find yourself not being able to get these gear drive wrenches or even a standard wrench onto a fastener You just have a little bit of room and you need to tighten up or loosen that bolt just a little bit more But can't do it. You don't want to get a you know a pair of pliers on there and mess the threads up So we ended up getting these from Matco as you guys can see they're extremely thin Here compared to what would be the SP tools wrenches that we've got Really really thin and you guys would think Well, I would say they're gonna be pretty flimsy and floppy No, that is definitely not the case even the smallest one here. I Really have to try Hard to get these things even flex at all and I've got no flex back to where they were at before So this kind of set is really good in those certain areas where you just can't fit a full-size wrench and need to have that Set where you guys can get them in The set is a little bit on the costly side from what you guys would think that it would be Runs right around a hundred and fifty dollars on the Matco truck No, I'm sure there's a couple other manufacturers out there who might come out with something like this or make them but because of the Matco guy coming to my shop and Having these exactly when I needed them. I ended up picking them up from him and I would definitely recommend them for you One of the biggest things that I ended up using these on was a fuel pressure Regulator on a Cummins. There is like little to no room between This snorkel and the fuel pressure regulator can't even get a standard wrench on to that one So this one helped out big time this last week working on that Cummins I would definitely recommend for you guys to pick up a set of these today Moving to a slightly larger set and it is our second set of wrenches for this evening is going to be from SP Tools USA This is their 12 piece metric 15 degree offset Reversible with speed drive ratcheting wrench set This is going to be a 12 piece set ranging from 8 millimeter all the way up through 19 millimeter comes in this nice little to-go case where you can roll it up and Strap it on together and you're able to take it wherever you need to go now If you've seen the other wrench sets that I've done reviews on before Ranging from the Matco all the way to the snap-on ones You'll know that prices a big difference between these ratcheting wrenches These are a 72 tooth design and they also have a really small work area for the switch head It sits really flush nice even with the head it is a 15 degree offset wrench and the actual mechanism inside of these you guys can hear is A very nice fine tooth 72 tooth ratchet set you've got five degrees or less for per each tooth to grab to them and The really cool thing about these wrenches is not only do they have that high quality ratcheting into them but we've got a Somewhat speed drive ratchet version for the open end to them The design that they have here on this speed drive ratchets is really quite ingenious I know there's been quite a few other manufacturers out there, but I have used some here and there I haven't done any reviews on them But I noticed how they slip a lot and slip quite easily the teeth on this one are Actually quite grippy and I've not had one slip yet. You can see the actual mechanism here It is able to kind of slip ratchet one direction and Grip in the other and then all you would have to do is flip it around It's going to slip the one direction and grip in the other. This has a very amazing finish No misses to any of the chroming on the inside So you're not going to have any chips come off and slipping on any of the fasteners as you can see This is one that is already actually pretty rounded and very well beaten. So it has gripped on to this one Extremely well now you're not going to get any kind of grip kind of like an fdx socket style But in those areas where you just don't have enough say open space to get the full size of the ratcheting box wrench on there. You're just able to put this on there and Ratchet that fastener loose or tighten exactly how you need it without the space of needing To use that ratcheting portion The other deciding factor that you might want to look into this wrench set for is the cost now if you're going to compare this one to like a Matco Set that is going to be from just standard eight millimeter all the way up to 19 millimeter without the Speed drive end to it. Just a standard end. They're going to run like right around 395 dollars 400 dollars and then if you go to the snap on like 82 82 ratchets the ratcheting wrenches, they're going to run upwards of $520 for that whole set over $500 for a ratcheting wrench set these ones are going to knock you out of the water at $241 I will be sure to put the links down in the description below if you'd like to get your hands on a set of these today I definitely would recommend them and they've saved my butt already this week. Make sure you guys check them out Third on our list of Goldilocks style adventures on wrenches We've got the big mammoth jammas where the last set of SP tools USA wrenches ended at 19 millimeter This set picks it back up 20 millimeter all the way up to 32 millimeter part number on this set It's an eight-piece metric drive set. It's going to be SP 10118 Also comes in this nifty little carrying package where you're able to roll it up and take it wherever you need to Double straps here to be able to Velcro that one together because of the weight of it same style design Just in a bigger package. You can see these quite a bit better They are very very heavy-duty and very well made the Ratcheting wrench mechanism and the switch panels are going to be just like the other set except for this style is going to be the Standard open-end wrenches. They do have the standard open-end wrenches for the smaller ones, but those are the ones I was able to view today 72 tooth ratcheting and when you're talking about ratchet wrenches that are in this size They are hard to come by especially in quality ratcheting wrenches I had picked up a couple of them just to fill in the sizes of the ones that I need prior to this Not too many manufacturers make ratcheting wrenches anything larger than really 24 millimeter They do have some in the cheaper brands husky Proto does have a couple of them, but also very expensive and usually don't come in a nice set like this one The finish on it is also fantastic just like before 72 tooth design you can hear these big ratchet wrenches click away. I Was able to use this set this last week doing a couple of alignments Getting into some of the front suspension components on the larger diesel trucks the 5500s the 4500s And they were just absolute beasts There's not too many times when you need wrenches like this at least in my portion of the field where I'm at But when you need them you really need them and a high quality set like this is Fantastic to have in your arsenal now when we're talking about price-wise on these That's where they also seem to shine if you're buying these in a set Which is really hard to find in other manufacturers You're going to be spending upwards of 606 50 maybe even 700 bucks for large really high quality ratcheting wrenches So if you buy them individually for the cheap ones normally you can find those online for about 35 to 40 dollars a piece This high quality set all here what you need it does skip a couple of sizes here in between there But it's really comprehensive to what I've found that I'd need them for I really didn't find that I would need anything else that is missing in this set Where this set shines is going to be the price on this one Normally they run right at four hundred dollars, but right now SP tools is running a sale on these 312 bones is what you can pick up this big boy Mamma Jamma eight-piece ratcheting wrench Large set for so I will leave the link down in the description below where you guys can go check these out for yourselves Stepping away from our Goldilocks stories of finding the right wrench for you. We're going into the light We've got a new light from snap on. This is the snap on e Card zero six two this is the upgrade from the e-carb light that I have been previously using and Absolutely love same generic style, but just a little bit bigger a little bit brighter a little bit better If you're able to handle the extra we'll say two and a half to inches of length on it Not really much different in width Maybe an eighth of an inch difference there not really that bad But this one does have quite a bit of a difference on Illumination out the front as you can see dual button design The upper button is going to turn on the end of the flashlight That's going to give you a 300 lumens spot lamp right out the end just as a standard flashlight You can hold the button and it's going to be able to dim up and down to what you need it to Just like before Also, it is usb-c chargeable just like the e-carb light also So you're not going to any kind of different chargers or anything along those lines Battery life. I've found on this one has been pretty decent so far The battery must be upgraded from the e-carb light because even on full illumination on both lamps on this working inside I've got about three and a half hours of use out of it and then when we flip up the beam here We've got two beams instead of just the one on the e-carb The lower button here is going to activate the first side and then we hit the button a second time It's going to activate the light on the other side. A third time is going to shine it on both sides Also able to hold the button and the lights are going to dim Bright and flash on their end points Hold it again and the light will get More bright to that extent when you shine just one side of this light You're going to be looking at right around 600 lumens of light holding it out with two Lights going out inside of a vehicle. You're going to be working that with right at 800 lumens, which is Fantastic for a hand-held light in our working area today Now the only difference is that I don't like between the difference of the e-carb and the e-card light is going to be the Battery indicator the e-carb light has these indication points. We'll step up right here Across the front and there's going to be four little LEDs across the front here They're going to be green green green you get down to the bottom and it's going to go out So you can tell it which state of charge that one sat The e-card light has one single light. It's going to turn on when it's on and off when there's Little to no battery power it'll turn on green when you're charging or you're at full charge and then go to red Just to tell you it's on that's about it So there's not really any kind of Indicator for your battery life on it, which I think it kind of sucks Especially when you get into the price point of a hundred and fifty bones for a light with the Standardized rating on this one being pretty much waterproof on top of it is why I ended up going with it I dropped my lights in coolant and nasty stuff all the time So having a light that is nice reliable and as bright as this one is definitely needed Even if I have to pay for a premium on it I definitely recommend it even though the negative part of the battery indicator But it's been working absolutely perfect for the last two weeks of me using it And I'd still recommend for you guys to give this one a try And now we move into our bonus round on the Matco truck this week after I ended up purchasing Or a couple weeks ago after purchasing the rat the wrench set as well as a couple other things that will be coming very Shortly for upgrades on the toolbox We ended up getting a little dog treat here This is actually still going to have a standard part number MTC dog bone for that wrench loving dog that you might have nylon dog bone sold by Matco I think they if you were to sell them, I think they're like five or ten bucks But my Matco guy was cool enough and he gave it out on promotion for purchasing other things Something neat that if you guys know me, I'm a dog lover and my dog's gonna love this one That's about all I've got for this week in the way of nifty tools Now if you guys haven't been paying attention to the channel over the last couple of weeks one of the videos that you need to check out is my review on the SP tools mini impact Half-inch gun so I did a review on this one this past week And I teamed up with SP tools to do a killer giveaway for all of my subscribers I will put the link to that video down below in the description as well as in the card above I went in depth on all the thoughts that I had about this impact gun and how Absolutely amazing it is it might even get you guys to switch back to using some air tools again for to try this one out So with SP tools, we're gonna be doing a giveaway We're giving away a brand new one of these mini impact guns along with a five-piece Stubby socket set along with it.
