That's awesome, Jake, congrats on the truck!

Safety third!

It's a beast!

They were ahead of their time. Craftsman has innovated some very interesting tools over the years. Some never caught on, but a few sure did.

Hello, George! Companies like Mac and Snap-On have some really good proprietary tools that nobody else can sell. It makes me jealous sometimes!

@CoyleTools Hello again, Lindsay Thank you for the quick response. The Tool I was looking to buy was a ratchet for Hy-lok Rivet. It is the rivet used in jet engine compressors. My job was to disassemble the compressor, inspect and repair blade damage. This was in the early 2000's. So it the price tag was only $25.00 dollars. Not huge price. Again thank you 👌

I was stoked to shoot my next video because I bet there's a bunch of things neither of us have had before, but ISN didn't receive my order, so I had to resubmit and now i have to wait. :( Tomorrow was going to be great for sales, but looks like next week now.

These really are tried and true brands that once people get into them, they have quite a following. I'm glad you're getting such good use out of them, James.

@@CoyleTools Absolutely and I have for years. a local hardware store (the last of the true independents!) carries these brands so I can go in a check what I need out first. They carry lots of welding tools as well.

@@jamescaron6465 I'm glad you have a store like that available. They're the last of a dying breed, unfortunately. I wish the business landscape was friendlier to the small independent guys, but that's another topic for another time! Good on you for shopping with them.

@@CoyleTools Oh me too. They are awesome! I can even get canning lids and local honey there as well as my propane. I always go there first and the best part is. they are literally down the street from me, but I would go much farther if I had to. It's not so much good on me for patronizing their business, but good on them for being unique and extremely useful. I always feign disappointment if they don't have anything "YOu mean you are going to make me go to Home Depot? That's it! ". But they know how much I value them. and hate going to Home Depot.

And mayhew

Good advice!

Excellent philosophy, Steve.

There are other kits available that have those wrenches. Look at 80944 and 80949.

Thanks, Brandon!

You'll have to cite a reputable source for that info. SK still manufactures some of their products Williamspost, PA, according to their web site. They may also manufacture in China and Taiwan, but if you're saying the manufacture SOLELY in China, please cite your source.

@@CoyleTools They literally list China as both manufacture and country of origin on their Amazon page. Hand tools where the same design for over 40 years, and got up to Snap-on prices. Now, totally different designs and 1/5th the price, and we are supposed to believe they are still US made LOL!

@@Bob-kr6fg According their site, they still do some manufacturing in the US. I don't know why you're contending otherwise. Exactly what product lines are made in the US, I don't know.

I use these guys for all my parts: powertoolrepair.com/

Thank you, George!

They've been excellent sellers. Next week's vid has the two new Streamlight Wedges in blue and purple, which I was eager to see. They're a special order, so they won't be going on the shelves.

Yes, people can over-tighten, but honestly, they can over-tighten anything when they disregard the proper specs. Glad you're liking your Coast light!

Oh man I didn't know about the coast light until now. I been wanting that type of light for my pocket

If he can't upgrade you.. I can.. LOL :)

I'll take care of it. Sorry I missed you this week. I've been sick with a gross cough and can't stay awake for too long.

@@midatlantictools lol

Good to know about the Astro grinder, Ricky, thank you, bud!

That is certainly NOT a common problem. I can't say I've ever seen it before.

Ok, thanks for responding! Do you think that would be a warranty thing?... If you go onto Amazon and read the comments, that's pretty much the only complaint, and there's definitely a few (pics in comments as well). That and the case, which I think is actually pretty good. It's not something most people would notice unless you looked for it, but when I did, there was between 5 -10 of them that were pretty crooked and not seated all the way down. I didn't think I'd find any, but I did. I like GW and love the kit, so I'd like to just swap them out if I can. There's a couple of tool places near me that carry GW sooo🤷‍♂️ I tried putting them in a vice to seat them straight, but they don't budge!

@@cblack1863 You now know first-hand why I advise people to NOT buy on Amazon. You received a defective set of tools that were most likely not purchased from the seller through a legitimate distribution channel. You can try to contact the seller and Apex Tool Group (GW's parent company) for warranty service, but it pains me to say the odds are stacked against you in getting a satisfactory resolution. This is why you should only buy from a reputable retailer who will stand behind your purchases with full after-sale service and support. Yes, you will pay more, but faced with this issue, how much would that be worth to you?

True that man, lesson learned. I did purchase from an Amazon affiliate that has a 30 day return policy. That was a couple weeks ago or so, so I'll try to return them. I'm just concerned because I saw quite a few comments stating the same thing, but I rolled the dice and shouldn't have. I also have the VIM 77 pc kit, so I'll use that in the mean time. Anyhow, thank you for taking the time to reply, I wish I had someone like yourself to purchase this brand from, but in Canada they're few and far between for GW. Thanks again for all the info, look forward to more vids:)

@@cblack1863Amazon's 30-day return policy is the one good thing about these kinds of scenarios. At least you're not stuck with it. VIM is another great brand, so I hope those will get you through. Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate you watching. Good luck!

That's the one. The most complete set I've ever seen.

I haven't heard a complaint yet. I feel very good about them.

@@CoyleTools yeah he said every one he sold his customers love them I just don’t know how they will hold up over time but kinda want to buy one from him just to try it

I like that idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

@@CoyleTools I want to do a channel devoted to that type of thing but I’m a little ways off from being ready because I’m on the road full time

Hello, George! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and you know I appreciate you!

@@CoyleTools Hello again, Lindsay Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Glad you did, Kevin. I had fun making it with him.

Kevin it was a blast interviewing Lindsay, hopefully we can do it again sometime

Thanks, buddy! I hope you're doing well.

I agree. They'll go on my next re-stock order.

@@CoyleTools keep us informed on how well they sell I’d say they will sell like the cta oil filter wrenches that ya decided to keep on the truck

You're a good son, Brandon!

You're welcome, Scott. Thanks for watching.

Will do, Mark, thank you!

Ultimately, people will buy what they think is best suited to their needs. I see my job to give them as much info as possible. And I'm happy to help them either way. Thanks for watching, bud!

You're the hex wrench king! It's great to meet someone like yourself who has experience in different fields. It brings a new perspective. Thank you for watching, Ed!

@@CoyleTools You ain't kidding. Short and long square ends, short and long ball ends, short "L" ended sets, extra long sets, Tee handled sets, hex socket sets, got 'em all. The mechanics (I was just an operator) used to hit me up when they didn't have the right configuration wrench.

Glad you found it useful, Ian, thanks for watching!

I have not seen a quality difference between the two, but my sample size is small since there aren't as many Tool Vaults in shops, but those I have seen are used by diesel techs and are heavy duty enough to hold a lot of weight and some very large tools. Hutch vs. top box is strictly preferential. It depends on whether you want to keep the top of your box as a lockable work surface or if you want the additional drawer space. If you get a hutch and find you need more drawer space later, you can always get a cart or something similar. But if you get a top box and decide you want a lockable work surface, there isn't a great option for that.

@@CoyleTools I know this is an old vid but I just saw it today. Thank you SO much for the quick reply! Appreciate the feedback about Tool Vault. For some reason I am REALLY liling the 30 inch depth (I know the drawers aren't that deep?) I think this really helps with storage issues. If the Icon was 30" deep I would probably have one by now. Love the quality that I see in the stores. Opinions on Tool Vault vs Icon quality?

@@philmcginnis2373 They seem comparable to me. Between the two brands, there are at least a half dozen I see in use everyday, and have been for at least four or five years. A couple of those for much longer. They have held up well. I don't think you can lose with either brand. With all brands of tool boxes, the best way to treat them is to keep the drawer slides clean. Dirty, gummy slides is easily the most common problem I see. It results in the ball bearings falling out and the slides sticking, requiring replacing the slides.
