Picked up the 121pc Gun metal from Lowes for $99 a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier with it. Really nice looking and functional set. Not a lot of filler bits, and some nice wrenches. Even the case is a little nicer.
I honestly love the gun metal sets. So butter smooth. Under normal use a workload, you're never gonna have a problem.
Thanks for not breaking the old ratchet, I have the same set from 1995. Well most of it, I can't find the darn 10mm.🤣😂
Thank you for not destroying that classic ratchet!
No problem, it’s one of the few that have survived.
@@ClientGraphics Craftsman screwdriver, socket and wrench manufacturing is coming back to the U.S.A. (Texas) in late 2020. We'll have to see then if the quality comes back too.

Makes me feel better about me not having the body strength to break a "compact" 1/4 body with 3/8 square 6" flex head rated for 90lb-ft. Sad to see a 3/8 break around 150lb-ft. There are 3/8 torque wrenches rated for 250lb-ft
Love you’re channel man not many people doing craftsman content
Thanks! I plan to do a little of everything, both good and bad of things I use or have used or can relate with. Appreciate you watching and commenting it helps keep me motivated!
I was really impressed the black chrome 3/8 ratchet went to 173 foot pounds I have that ratchet and love how smooth it is I don’t think I will have to worry about breaking it thanks for this review the New Craftsman tools don’t get enough credit for being good tools their Warranty can’t be beat I know their made in China now but other than that I like them anyway
Awesome video! Congrats on 1000 subscribers 👍 🍻
Thank you! It's been a fun journey with lots of cool people just like you that I have met along the way, 🍻
I just bought the gunmetal 3/8 about an hour ago. I haven't got to use it yet but I think it will do what I need it to. Thanks for not breaking that usa made. I have the same one and its pretty well gone I don't know how to fix it anyway.
Excellent channel
What kind of vice do you have
These new craftsman ratchers are way more comftervle than the old ones
Subscribed after watching a bunch of videos, good job. Just a suggestion, get some gloves and a face shield or at least safety glasses so when things start snapping you don't have a piece of steel hitting you in the face. I can tell these videos are going to escalate to bigger things breaking :-)
Got the 1/2 gunmetal on clearance for $29 and I love it. Still have my never gonna die Pittsburg 3/8 ratchet but wanted a nice 1/2. I would 100% buy another and as for the pittsburg from harbor freight, thing is rugged af.
You can buy rebuild kits for the old usa ones if you break it
Awesome video!! I do love the gun metal look!!
The finish held up to the cheater bar and still felt nice. Still interested in how they hold up or tarnish over use and time but they honestly aren’t that bad. They will be a decent set for my 14yr old who turns 15 at the end of the year.
SnapOn and Gearwrench 3/8 can do 270-280ft.lbs before it breaks....
Just think, the Pittsburgh ratchets demolished this one at over 200 ft. lbs. Icon was up there with Snap-On. These gunmetals are supposedly Taiwan built, yet lost to the Chinese 72 tooth craftsmans. I do know they're building a plant in texas for Craftsman so maybe it'll be worth revisiting, but who knows.
Is that Ace stuff a rebrand of klien and Stanley?
It sure would appear to be a rebrand. I have a DEWALT DWMT73808 Multi-Bit & Nut Driver Set and the handle/grip looks just like it. I would say it's from Stanley.
Olá amigo não tem essa marca de ferramentas no Brasil, que pena um abraço!🙋👍
Muitas ferramentas de outros lugares que eu nunca vou ter a chance de ver, mas o CZcams ajuda a compartilhar a alegria e o amor pelas ferramentas para todos. Obrigado amigo por assistir!
I have to admit that gunmetal looks dam sweet 👐 I'm a have to go buy me some payday lol
In all honestly it's not a bad ratchet and the finish is nice. I would compare the ratcheting feel and internals to a GearWrench 120xp. If you can catch them on sale and find a $10 off 50 or another coupon then I'd say you should be good to go.
The ONLY issue I have with the gunmetal is that when you want to buy more sockets I have yet to see them in gunmetal Crome so your have all gunmetal then some just chrome
In the average world not to many people are going to put a cheater pipe on a 3/8 drive ratchet...So I think they held up very good....Anything I got thats that tough to break loose, a breaker bar is going to be used..
I have the old ones. Handle design sucks, hurts your hand when you really apply force. Swapped them for KTC ratchets
I actually like my Craftsman slim profile more than I like my Snap-on F 80. ClientGraphics
, you should check out the Nepros, if you ever get the chance. At least get yourself a 3/8. They're not cheap, an the wife's not gonna be happy, but I think its the greatest ratchet ever made and my favorite in my collection by far.
And yes, I got a slight addiction to ratchets.
The NBR390L 3/8 drive 90-Tooth Gear Long Ratchet at 10.8" looks pretty sweet. I've had my eye on it for quite some time. One of these days it will be mine.
Do you mean the 944995?
@@kevinoverbeck4250 What do you mean?
@@HoIyGrail the craftsman ratchet you were talking about
@@kevinoverbeck4250 Aww, yes, just checked it, its the 44995. It has little drag, unlike my Snap-on F 80, it also feels the best in my hand. Big fan.
I like the gunmetal look but I’m kinda OCD and would have to replace everything with gunmetal.
Let's be honest though anything past 100ft lbs you should be using 1/2 ratchet
Quinn torque meter has very low limit which is less than 200 ft. lbs. Other video with more professional meter will show different result! Be aware!
Pittsburg pro 3/8 breaks at around 215-220 lbs. Who knew the Pittsburgh pro is stronger than craftsman and kolbolt.
Torture test the Wera Koloss Ratchet Hammer...it says it can take 400+ ft/lbs.
Lol that one is a joke that you broke, talk about weak sauce! that was maybe 140ft lbs torque meter is a fun little toy looks like =p
Every time my new 1/2 inch craftsman comes in from warranty im calling craftsman the next week because of one rusty bolt or another
Well, Craftsman does offer a lifetime guarantee against breakage (just don't show them this video).
Gunmetal looks better with a better price.
Chris since when did you become a blonde Swedish looking dude? =p
That is my oldest son and I figured we would make this a father and son(s) kid of fun thing to do. That and he thought he was stronger than me, but he still needs a year or two and he will get there.
If your using a cheater bar..It should be on a breaker bar and not a ratchet..
You can’t even get the old craftsman anymore, and he’s breaking them :(
Craftsman ratchets never really were that great imo. The old American made ratchets we're sloppy and skipped teeth a lot. The new Chinese made ratchets seem more cheap than even HF Pittsburgh. I've used really old round head Craftsman ratchets which were probably the best made as far as craftsman has made
The reason people chose Craftsman tools were: Made In USA, affordable, reliable, and a lifetime warranty. Mostly settling for three out of the four right now but Stanley Black and Decker is turning that around. I, for one, am thankful that I can walk into my local Ace Hardware, Sears, and Lowe's and still find Craftsman tools. And even some of the tools at Sears are still Made in the USA such as the damaged bolt remover kits, the old school screwdrivers, and the pry bars. The new Made in Sedalia, Missouri tool boxes proudly have Made in the USA plastered all over them. Another Trump election in 2020 and hopefully the Made in China garbage will be gone.
I get a kick out of you so called torture testers. What exactly are you trying to prove? It proves you got more money than brains.
Definitely do it just for the comments
