Actually not lined up evenly

I ordered the impact driver with charger batt combo $49 on Amazon the battery was only 1.3Ah so found a 6.0Ah on ebay for $25 which should make this thing even more of a beast. Thanks for the vid! Cheers 🍻

I love to resale tools and icon has the worst resale on offer up n eBay at least snap on resale for half the original price if you try to sell some icon u will see

I don't have Snap On money. I've purchased some ICON tools. Torque wrench , the long ratchet wrenches etc. They seem fine and the warranty is excellent. I gave my son in law all my Wright tools when I retired from the Construction industry. So I had to find some new tools to work on my cars.

Thanks for the warning

Why are you yelling?

My Allen head is plastic will this still work

What about the metallurgy and rockwell hardness?????????????

Price? That is last when you talk about tools. You buy cheap tools, you are cheap.

Thanks for the review. I already have one and am trying to get it fully charged. I wasn't sure what lights need to be lit up to indicate a full charge.

Wera, vessel, Klein, Milwaukee USA made.

I don't really understand what you are testing here.

2024 and still relevant :) Thank you for posting this demonstration.

Thanks for the tip only I used the guide on the other side of the tablesaw because of the long board to level it up it worked good

Cut a slot in it and use a screwdriver. It's very simple.

Kleins makes 100 different kinds of linemen’s which is ridiculous and it’s hard to tell which ones are the good ones. They should just make 2 at most. Professional and budget because I’ve always bought them and tbeee other tools but my latest linemen’s I paid $45 for and don’t like them

You're saying it correctly, there are no silent letters in the german language.

I went there yesterday to buy a set of wheel dollies. 64.99 for 2 1500 lb capacity wheel dollies. I noticed a a better set 3000 lb capacity for 79.99 but with the membership plan and the 10% off my first order I could have gotten them for about the same price and then I had the membership for free. Makes sense there but guess what happened when i took my items to the desk and proposed my plan after them telling me the details. I said ok, lets do it. I'll exchange this set for the 79.99 set. We go back to swap them and the better set was not in stock. Only the display pair. That didn't bother to much until I offered to take the display set and they said no.

I have warrantied at least 3 tools at HF. here recently I bought their ratcheting breaker bar and my dad broke it first use and I took it back and got a new one no issues. each time i warrantied a tool there I have had no issues. They are the same as sears used to be. I have met so many who have warrantied tools at HF with no issues when someone tells me they have issues with HF warranty it makes me suspicious. that being said, I warrantied a snapon ratchet with my local snapon dealer when I was a brand new diesel mechanic and the guy was a complete ass to me. He told me how he makes no money fixing broken tools and how snap on tools sells themselves and they are the best tools in the world. When I got tired of having to use him to warranty broken snap on tools, I tried to circumvent him to go to another dealer outside the area and that dealer wanted me to "whip out my credit card" to buy tools from him so he would warranty the tool. Snap on tools may be good tools but every dealer I have ever had to deal with is a complete POS. Honestly im wondering how they are still in business with dirtball dealers. I know its just my experience but everyone I spoke to in the trade that ever dealt with snap on dealers always had similar negative things to say about the dealers. all that being said, who do you think im going to buy from? HF and craftsman where I can wander the aisles looking closely at the products to determine if i need it with no rush or ridicule and a fraction of the cost of Snap on or the truck with the dealer being an ass who doesn't want me spending time shopping on the truck all while not warrantying tools and being sometimes more than 10x the cost. its a pretty easy calculous.

Thanks for the vid, you may have saved a life. You might want to add the link to your newer recall video about jack stands # 56373 in the description or a pinned comment.

My nearest harbor freight is an hour away from me. We do have a Menards in the town I work so I got a set of their half inch impact sockets and they’ve been great. They go from 10 to 24 with only skipping the 23. I get a lot of their hand tools and like them.

Stupid video

I appreciate your honest review. However, I always understood lifetime to be the lifetime of the buyer. Is it supposed to be the lifetime for whoever owns it? 😂 I mean we have pre-historic tools ⚒️ that exist. How many people’s hands could it possibly be warrentied for?? Generations?

My first Ridgid was a curb find that I picked up, cleaned out and used. I liked the build quality of this relatively inexpensive machine where you can take the bottom off of the motor and clean it out and the same applies to the top. The only downside to that machine was it didn't take bags. It's still running and I still have it, thinking of giving it to my brother for detailing cars. If he wants it he can use it. He doesn't use bags so it's probably not an issue. I just received my new one today and I really like it. It's a bit smoother than the old one and accepts bags. It also came with the detailing kit and is the same price (for some reason) as the "stand alone" model, same machine, just without the detailing kit. I wanted the orange hose as I plan on buying the commercial cleaning nozzle kit with the steel wands that also works with this hose.

none of this worked

The benifit of a bigger tank is yes more room for air presure, but even better; the engine doesn't have to work as hard to pump the air into the tank resulting in a higher SCFM if you adjust your motor properly.

I like how Icon went after Snap-on with now shame but the V-Series craftsman ratchets are a smoother performing ratchet when you put the Icon head to head to craftsman v series ratchet.

I love the icon ratchets have many but i use tekton sockets

Human psychology is so strange! People hate you because the tool you use has a different name than theirs!

I need a chisel, I use a chisel, I need a pry bar…I grab a pry bar. I use a crew driver…..as a screwdriver, just me

Even though I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new compressor, my 10-year-old Central Pneumatic 2.5 horse upright, would it make sense to keep the old tank for extra air storage or just dump the whole old clunker?

I just bought this saw and also bought the 8 AH battery It runs cool and don't bog down with a Diablo 24 tooth framing blade. It never smokes or shuts down with that combo A 8AH battery And a Diablo 24 tooth framing blade. That will fix your problem.

Every single welding machine review I’ve seen has people that love the machine and others that got bad luck. I have concluded that some individual machines from any brand just poop out.

I’m looking at it for taking screws out of dashboards of customers equipment because a fuel 1/4” impact can damage and break them if not extremely careful.

Where you at bro!?

Their not both made in Taiwan, Pittsburgh is made in China, Icon in Taiwan, Also another channel did a very detailed testing of these and they both broke between 270 and 280 lbs of torgque, both good for what they are.

It looks like you gave some good advice 40 years ago i purchased a bunch of craftsman tools. Then started with snap on. If i had the variety of tools back then and credit i would have purchased more craftsman and SK tools. Managed to get used snap on tools on ebay. Great Video.

Size of the tool's parts as the key factor according to this video. Questionable?

Did you put Matco guts in a gearwrench ratchet ? Koon trucking video disassembled both ratchets and they were not the same.

Yep knew

How long is the power cord doesn't mention it on the site

All the rebranding goes to show thats its about making money , nohing else matters.

My guy hating on my channel locks hard😂 Only brand I don't use are them farts.... I'm not using my Knipex as a hammer on a ladder... but my CL? ❤

Is it possible to drill a hole in the pulley to access the mounting bolts? If balancing is a issue drill another hole equally across from it

I been looking at the icon tools have you hid good luck with them

This video reminds me of the scene in the movie airplane when Robert Hayes ( Striker) starts telling the war story he was in a air fight during world war 2 and he bored his listener into suicide from the boredom of the story.

I like pb Swiss and vessel screwdrivers better than snap on. I had all the snap on stuff and started looking for better stuff than snap on. There are definitely some different brands that do stuff better but you have to look to Europe or Japan. I have the Pittsburgh for knock around ratchets for my cars

Totally have been through the same issues. Not bad luck its a flaw. I will never waste my time and money w Milwakee again. Drills, Impacts and Drivee brushless or not the triggers dont last more than a 20 uses. THE SHORT IN THE TRIGGER FAILURE COMES FROM THE DRILL MOTOR GETTING HOT! The triggernis a side effect to the heat. Imho

Milwakee used to be the best. Not any longer.

I have no brand loyalty and doing mobile work I try to find a cheaper version to carry if it works. I usually get the brand the tools are competing against and try them and if the icon works almost as good I will carry them so I don’t lose my snap on or more expensive versions. I still carry a lot of brand name tools because if they work better to the point I can’t efficiently use the knock off
