I love Snap on tools. The pricing makes me cringe. I have been buying more and more Tekton. Yes, some is Taiwan, but many are USA. I only buy Snap on when I think it makes sense. I cant reconcile $800 for a set of wrenches. They may be a bit better, but not 5 times better.

I agree the price sucks. I have used several Tekton tools and I am honestly very impressed. I really need to do an updated box tour and updated top 10 favorites in the near future. I have since got out of heavy duty and switched to powersports and everything I use has changed. Still a Snap-On junkie though haha

Some of my favorites are simple things like my first sets of combo and double box wrenches I bought as a newbie 25 years ago. They all have the chrome worn to a matte finish and even worn through at the open open end jaws on most used ones like a 9/16 (without peeling like cheap tools do)....they get used everyday...and probably will for many more before I pass them on to my grandson.

My favorite tools are my snap-on flank drive plus combination wrench set, snap-on swivel impact sockets,ct725 1/4 impact, long neck 3/8 14.4 ratchet and long neck 14,4 1/4 ratchet.... I own many different brands of tools but in my opinion and it's just that my opinion only.. theres just some tools that snap-on sets the bar on. Their wrenches are one. Their chrome sockets also. The thin wall allows you to get on many fasteners that thicker Taiwanese sockets just wont fit. I too would like to check out the icon line and see if they have some reliable stuff

I'll warn you, some tools are, some aren't. Icon tools are made in the same factories as a lot of other import brands and essentially use the intellectual rights from other companies that have expired. Some tools are exact snap on clones, and some are clones of cheap tools. Do your research before spending a lot of money on Icon tools.

Honestly very well. On some of the bigger sockets the chrome is flaking on the ends, but otherwise no issues. If I remember. Correctly I’ve broken 3 sockets, all were on an impact. Take that as you will. I would recommend the icon sockets any day of the week.

Great video. Thanks for putting the part numbers in, I appreciate it! Those Icon tools have done great for me, the stubby ratcheting wrenches and long chrome extensions have been my latest great finds. I want to try out their new flush cutters, they look identical to snap-on. I got the snap on ones but have to warranty them, their so stiff they won’t even break in after an hour long process that gets all my order pliers butter smooth. How are yours? Also that flip up light looks sweet I’ve never seen one that thin, looks like it could fit in a pocket, good suggestion.

@@btasler not a lot for customers on the truck side. But I am adamant that applying solder to any battery or cable lug helps keep moisture out, so when running new battery cables, alternator wires, starter cables I did solder before crimping and using heat shrink, also have built custom quick connect lights that I chose to solder wires to a board. Mostly though, I have a lot of my own stuff that I solder rather than use but connectors. Like I said, mostly I use the soldering iron with the heat tip because it’s very small and fits in areas where I don’t like open flames and can’t fit a heat gun, like behind dashes for heat shrink and what not. I now work on power sports and solder on customer machines at least once a week.

@@R6slim I have a friend who told me "if you're not uncomfortable, you aren't learning", so you won't like what I say and that's just fine by me. I'v been in more truck shops and fixed more botched electronics over more decades than you have been alive. I know you even though I have never met you. Here's the thing- mechanics are most assuredly not capable of all the thought that goes into designing and installing a robust, well thought out electrical system, and by extension robust repairs. If you truly understood the process of effective soldering and practices, you wouldn't WANT to use it. The mere fact that you use it on battery cables is proof right there for all the world to see. You see, solder is a comparatively piss-poor conductor that is too soft, tarnishes far too easily, and in the end (especially when you are talking about significant currents) causes FAR more problems than it solves. Actually, it ruins a nontrivial length of the cable so it can't be repaired anymore. I could go on and blather out my hero sheet but instead I will leave you with a couple things to ponder- I would like for you to cite for me one single instance anywhere in any industry whether trucks, cranes, boats, campers, anything that is designed and sold with soldered battery lugs, and why you can't. Mechanics DO NOT have any business whatsoever approaching a customer's equipment with a soldering iron in their hand, and there is nothing in this entire language you are going to say that can change my mind, because I'm out doing it pretty constantly for a long long time. Stop soldering battery lugs.
