I use to be a tire guy and i would always learn as much as I could from the diesel tech that worked at the shop. He told me if you want quality tools at the quarter of the price of Snap On, go with Napa . That man worked the hell out of those Carlyle wrenches , impressed the hell out of me ,
Love going back and watching old stuff sometimes and remembering what I was working with at that time
Milwaukee is sure putting out some high quality tools, wish they'd of done that 20 years ago! great video and have a great day
Thank you ! They are killing the Tool game right now ! They make some awesome stuff for sure
high quality? Really? you must have better luck than 80% everyone else or being paid to promote their stuff.
@@stanhowe6410 try buying them from a store not the fentanyl ferret at your trailer park.
@@stanhowe6410 you’re crazy man, Milwaukee has been putting out great power tools forever, and their hand tools over the past several years have been amazing
@@pillcosby3949 he’s a butthurt Snap-off fanboy
I love these subjective yet thought-out kind of videos. One issue I did find when watching reviews is that the Milwaukee, under extreme torque, spread and stripped fasteners where other more expensive brands would literally tear the metal clean off of fastener before anything. They didn't "round" the fasteners, they sheared the corners off. No discernible spread.
And that’s your difference in $!$ price. If you’re a DIY guy or not putting Max torque on a fastener- Milwaukee will probably get you by. But if you’re a Professional tech, or putting very high torque out with your wrenches- tha where the Snap On’s shine. Or even the Wright WrightGrip2’s for a cheaper price point. Also saw a test where the WrightGrip2’s performed better overall in heavily torquing a fastener. 🤙🏻
I own both sets of the Carlyle wrenches, man they are awesome! Was saving up for the Snap On wrenches but came across Carlyle & I was sold. After buying the Carlyle wrenches, I couldn’t justify spending $800 on Snap On wrenches , put that extra money towards other tools I needed. Just as stout as the Snap On, strongly recommend. Great video.
Good review. Thanks for showing the Milwaukee wrench racks in you drawers. Very nice. Milwaukee really seemed to put some thought into everything in their design. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you soooo much Clay!
I love Milwaukee tools never knew they had these hand tools! Getting myself some now! Great Show!....😁
Can I stop by your shop for an autograph one of these days?
I honestly admire you Clay
You touch millions of people with Koon Trucking Videos...😁👍
I paid over $300 for each of my Flank Drive sets over 25 years ago. I just purchased a set of the Carlyle set from NAPA on sale for $99. I never thought I’d see the day that wrenches made by anyone other than Snap On were worth having but The Carlyle & Milwaukee are a great quality product at a good price point. The factory rack for the Carlyles is aggravating to me. Those Milwaukee wrench racks are the cat’s meow.
Never even knew Milwaukee made wrenches.
Me either till about a month ago, wanted to upgrade my wrenches and looked hard at just about every brand. I decided on Milwaukee and all the reviews I’ve seen have reinforced my decision to go with them.
@@Wicked_4355 and? What do you think?
what a great video clay, great compare... i love seeing guys find tools that would be just as good as the higher priced tools to save everyone money. keep up the great job you are doing on your videos brother.
ken the lawn guy thank you for those kind words. I truly appreciate each and every view and comment.
I want the Milwaukee wrench set so badly. Great video man.
They are awesome ! You will really like the feel of them, there's no doubt they are quality made, they fell good in your hands, fit the fastners well and the wrench racks are better than anything I have ever seen before.
Great comparison
The Carlyle wrench rack
is probably better for mobile
"Field service" if that make sense
The Milwaukee wrenches just
landed a spot on my to get list
Thanks and keep the videos coming
Is it me or does the "19mm" font on the Carlyle wrench look like Snap on Font?
I have the Milwaukee set at work and absolutely love them. Very comparable to the Mac wrenches as well
Milwaukee Hand Tools are expanding their product line up. In my opinion every Milwaukee Tool Product I have purchased has become my go to tool choice. I work'em hard and maintain them without fail so far over the years.
From tests I've seen with Real Tool Reviews, it doesn't matter how large or small the teeth are. The Wright Wrightgrip wrenches have tiny teeth that bite where a normal wrench would round a bolt. It kept torqueing it until the bolt head snapped off.
Yep. They have WrightGrip2’s now. Supposed to be pretty awesome. Didnt slip when the Snap son’s did. 🤷🏻♂️
One issue with the saller teeth on the Snap On and Wright, is that they wear down and are damaged more easily than bigger teeth on the Carlyle and Milwaukee.
great wrench racks on the milwaukee. it is really nice how the metric and standard racks mirror fit each other. i dont think i like how short the 22mm is in the milwaukee compared to the snap on. the carlyle rack would be great to grab to work on your tractor in the field. nice review clay.
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS yeah I just don’t like that Carlyle rack at all for a toolbox. That was my major complaint with it. Would be nice if the bigger wrenches were a little longer in the Milwaukee but I haven’t had an issue yet. I really like the wider handles with the grooves in them.
I bought the Milwaukee wrenches after looking at like 5 other brands. Out of those, Milwaukee seemed like the best option overall for me.
If you buy the new Milwaukee ratcheting sets they have the same type of angled cases, and they switched the sides up on the Ratcheting set so you can put the normal (non-ratcheting) and Ratcheting Metric sets together and both SAE sets together in seperate drawers, as an option as well. This way they fit the same as you showed in the video, but you can have the full sets of each type nicely stored if you like to have Metric and SAE wrenches in seperate drawers.
I was thrilled with this layout, ordered the wrenches before I realised it, so glad I can keep metrics together
I know this is an older video but I’m a fairly new tech and I’ve been looking for a wrench set that’s good quality at a fair price. Matco and snap on sets I looked at are far too expensive for me right now. I watch your videos and trust your judgment, especially with you loving snap on so much and saying Milwaukee is the better choice. I will be getting a set soon. Thnx man.
They are some really good wrenches. I actually just got the ratcheting wrench versions and have been using them recently. For the money they are really good wrenches.
Sorry i posted the wrong link here is the right one. We tested 13 different wrenches and measured them all czcams.com/video/yW9lf3-2EsQ/video.html
Thank you!
Just picked up the long metric set of Carlyle on sale for $89 until September 30. Many privately owned Napa stores won't honor that price but corporate owned stores will. Local store was actually kind of rude to me and played dumb when I mentioned that the Napa site showed it on sale.
Organization is important to me, those milwaukee wrenches are my next purchase.
I bought a set of of snap on wrenches, 3/8-3/4 7 piece set for $140 on a promotional sale. When I went to compare them to the rest of my coworkers older snap-on wrenches, all of them had thinner heads on both the open and closed ends. The 9/16 wrench had increased in size on the open end by a full 40 thousandths of an inch. Snap on just like craftsman, are decreasing in quality and either maintaining or increasing in price.
I’m going to look into finishing off my set with another brand. Possibly Carlyle
The problem with Milwaukee is they don't have the larger sizes. In AG or any heavy equipment you need big shit. I bet you a box of donuts the Milwaukee and Carlyle along with many other brands are made in the exact same factory. 😁 Great job as always Clay!
Justin D I have some larger size snap on and all my really big stuff up to 2” is blue point. So I got it covered. The open ends look the same but the handles are different. That’s my favorite part is the handle on them.
Justin D they are by Infar in Taiwan, along with the Channellocks. Very reputable company.
My Metric set is SnapOn flank drive and my Sae is a good mix of SnapOn, Cornwell, and a few other USA made brands. Love Em all but I have to say Milwaukee is really stepping up to the plate and giving these Tool Truck Brands a run for their money. From what your saying and what I hear the quality is there as well. I see SnapOn having to really start reevaluating their marketing approach, or giving away more freebies with purchases. Somehow I feel that price would be the last to change and they would rather give away more free hats and socks instead.
The Engine Room I will be honest if I didn’t own a set of wrenches and was looking to buy them, Milwaukee would most definitely be the set I would buy. They grip well the handles feel better than any other brand I have held to date and the wrench rack fits great even in a smaller cheap made box. It is an awesome set all the way around.
I'm really glad Milwaukee came out with a wrench set,They did the research before they released them to stand up to the competition, This whole time It was like you just NEEDED the Snap-On wrenches, Now there's so many other ways you can go, Being said $130 for a set of wrenches is still fairly steep, But comparing that to Snap-On at nearly $400 after taxes.. way better, They really look like the MAC Precision Torque wrenches
I bought both sets of Milwaukee. I got the SAE set for $99 off ebay but the metric set was still 129. still a good price compared to snap-on. BTW I just found your channel a couple of months ago thru JC Smith. Cool videos!!
Kerry Mitchell thanks for coming over to my channel ! J C Smith is a great guy ! I was lucky enough to get to meet him and it was a blast ! I think you will like the Milwaukee wrenches a lot. I’ve enjoyed mine. Once again thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Another brand of Wrenches to consider, is Wright. I also own Carlyle and Snap-on. Never had to return either of them. Wright wrenches are known to be tough. Another You-Tuber torture tested Wright along with other brands including Snap-on, Carlyle and Milwaukee. The Wright wrench at the box end tested at 1500ft.lbs of torque before it broke! Snap-on Carlyle and Milwaukee were not far behind. Needless to say Im pretty happy with my purchase. At the end of the day when choosing a particular brand of wrenches it comes down to preference and how well it fits you. I don't think anyone in their right mind is going to put 1500ft.lbs. of torque on their wrenches.
Awesome video. I just ordered a set of Milwaukee standard wrenches 🔧 😎.
Once the Milwaukee sets came out, I knew they would be great. For their first wrench sets, they did their research...
The Milwaukee sets do look good and the trays are really great,
I’ve got the Snap-on sets and I do love them but I really don’t understand why they can’t design better trays!!
They have started doing more foam trays which I do like, but why not make them so they fit better together like the Milwaukee rather than taking up loads of wasted room putting a big S on for advertising!! Make them smaller and more compact which give more space in the draw meaning more room AH lets buy MORE tools to fill it!!!
Just my bug bear sorry to moan on!!!!
Great video as per usual 👍👍👍👍
They make it take up more room so that you buy more tool boxes from them. Lol
Ordered the Milwaukee metric set from BCfasteners for $129. CDN which is a great deal considering the weakness of the CDN $ Thanks for the review Clay!
👍
Hey tip for concern @ 11:30. Just don't push them in all of the way. I have a Snap-on wrench rack of similar style and I let them rest for easy retrieval when working. Take care.
I have the Milwaukee Ratcheting sets 7pc Metric & SAE I Also have the bigger 15pc sets Metric and SAE and also both 15pc combination open end sets I had them for quite some time using them daily in a professional setting 6 days a week and these wrenches are a Beast once you get the proper feeling for using them on a regular for the first time owners you gotta get the hang of them because the Max Bite is serious once they lock in they lock in tight and fitment ratio from wrench to fastener is a tight fit so for first time users you gotta be careful because they will for surely mare up and indent fasteners do to how the teeth lock in when force and torque is applied but once you get the feel for using them daily you will learn how to also handle them when removing a fastener I've still have not come across a situation were a wrench showed some type of flex on me either they are for surely well built in there design ....I do handle other Brands but for some reason they do not feel the same Milwaukee need to come out with Extra long XL Box End Sets and Flexhead and Locking extended XL Wrenches
Awesome video, these are the exact 3 wrench sets I'm considering so it's great to see a comparison. Glad you discussed wrench racks as well, that's an important feature for me as well. I wonder if Milwaukie sells or will sell those racks separately. I will probably buy the Carlyle wrenches as I can get them on a good discount, but their racks look kinda annoying.
RustyJeep I hate (HATE) that Carlyle rack ! It’s a pain especially when ur in a hurry or only have one hand free. I’m a fan of The Milwaukee by far because of the handles and that groove plus the thinner head profile. Glad you liked the video and maybe it will help make your choice a little easier ! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Another great video brother Clay, I know what sets I'll be buying to put back in my box. Stay safe and God Bless
Carlton Anderson they are awesome ! You will love them !
Holy crap Clay. I just priced out that same set of Snap On wrenches in Canada. It would cost me $721.50 for that same set. I will get the Milwaukee wrenches for $129.00 here in Canada.
They are good wrenches. What I have in the service truck. Hard to beat them
Snap-on tools ARE the best tools(in every catagory) Nothing else compares! Milwaukee & the other cheap stuff just aren't on the same level. I rely on my tools to perform day in day out without fail. Snap-on has NEVER let me down. ALL these OTHER brands cannot provide the quality-craftsmanship&reliability I need to get the work done!
@@stanhowe6410 Well Stan that is the great thing about living in North America. It is freedom of speech. You can say and believe what you want to and I can believe and say what I want to. If you have the money to spend on Snap On all the power to you. I do not criticize or judge a person on there tools, cars or even houses. There are tools for everyone at every price level. Some brands are more important to others. Just because you believe Snap On is the best does not mean I have to think the same thing. Have a wonderful day Stan Howe.
@@MarkK01 I am not criticizing anyone, just these tools. I feel the cheaper brands just under perform. I have used ALL of them- seen others spend the $ only to regret it a couple months later. I offer my opinion to help others NOT to waste there $. Buy quality tools (at your price point) so they will LAST you and perform faithfully years to come(just as my snap-on tools have). Hope this helps you&others make the right choice in your tool investments. Cheers!
@@stanhowe6410 I know you are not. I am just making a statement about everyone's thought process and how everyone values different things. That is the great thing about this world. There is always something out there for someone. Its been a long day and night, sometimes my words do not come out right. My apologize if I made it sound like you were criticizing. That was not my intention.
Just picked up this set of Milwaukee in sae, they sure seem like a great wrench.Time will tell.
Got the metric Milwaukee set and ordering the SAE set this week. Great video, sir. Like and sub.
Welcome aboard!
Thx for the video Clay just baught the metric and standard cant wait to try them out.
I’ve always had good luck with Carlyle
I love my Carlyle wrenches 🔧 but those Milwaukee’s do catch my 👀
The groove in them is what makes them awesome. They fit the hand really good
Great Review Sir! I truly appreciate your time and effort to post this videos! Also thank you so much for sharing your personal preference with us👍
Hey I did good then I bought the Milwaukee wrench’s. I got the sae set for 99 bucks on sale. Got metric set as well def nice wrench’s.
Hello sir i came across this post again, I am sold on the Milwaukee wrenches, I'm saving up my money to buy both sets, you said 37 or 39 per wrench, oh my gosh, well I did something like that when I bought the O off set snap-on, I never did the math tho, I can tell you the worse wrench I ever bought was a 15/16 husky it feels like I'm going to get my fingers cut off. Best deal ever was a gearwrench set X beam 5pc for 15. Bucks that's 3.dollars a wrench and it's a fine set
Hello sir great post. Yeah im saving my money up to get the Milwaukee 15pc set. I saw your review and I like them. I do own two Carlyle 6 point sets they came in a nice roll up pouch. I have an old Mac wrench with what I call a v-cut in the open end I really like that
Martin Schaffmeir you will like them. I have been very pleased with them so far
Great comparison, very well done.
Big Dog50001 Automotive thank you !
Real Tool Reviews has a torture test on the Snap On flank drive plus vs Wright Tools wright grip wrench using the 9/16" wrench.He has the video on his channel,both performed the same without rounding off the head of the bolt.I have the Channellock version and put the 15mm to the test on a GM engine oil drain plug.I used the open end to break it loose,wrench never slipped off and came loose with no problem at all
wafrederick I’ve put some pretty good torque on these Milwaukee wrenches and they handled it No SWEAT ! I’m a believer in them that’s why they earned a full time spot in my wrench drawer
wafrederick The real impressive test was real tool reviews tearing a grade 8 bolt head off. Snap on, Wright and SK if I remember. None were low cost. Interesting to see if the Milwaukee or Carlyle would do the same.
I bought the sae/metric sets of Milwaukee, an did get the flex head mm ones as well. A lot of damn money spent on it. I do love them. Hopefully they’ll give me many years of service. I’ve owned them for 6 months so far.
Good video brother! I own snap on and Milwaukee and I would choose the Milwaukee over snap on any day! Also glad to meet another CZcamsr from the my neighboring state! I’m from Louisiana. Good video brother!
Darwin W that is awesome. People thought I was crazy because I put my snap on wrenches in time out ! Haha I just like the feel and the way the Milwaukee wrenches grip fasteners ! Thanks for watching and also taking the time to leave a comment. I will have to check ur channel out. Be sure to come jump in our Sunday morning livestreams. It is fun. Usually kicks off about 830-9 depending on how lazy I am that morning !!
Koon Trucking Thanks for the invite Clay! Will sub and join in on the live stream! I don’t have any videos yet. My cornwell service cart and snap on Krl box tour will be my first vids coming up soon!
Darwin W that is awesome. Those will be good ones to start with ! Just keep on making videos and you will do fine. We have a great community and we all take pride in it.
Tool comparison videos popping up in my timeline like crazy now. Been searching to find ones that Snap On dominates to justify their prices. Haven’t found one yet. That wouldn’t have been the case 20 years ago i’ll bet.
Very cool comparison Clay. I gotta get some Milwaukee wrenches after this segment
Thank you
Harbor freight has a set of six jumbo wrenches which, believe it or not, is hard to find. $55. All the tool trucks have them for $400 or more.
Nice! For the money, I'm with You. I like the way the Milwaukee look and feel.
Diesel Doctor Matt I love the wider handle and that thumb groove in them. Fits my hand really nice !
My coworker is 66 and has had a set of snap on wrenches for nearly 50 years and uses them daily. I wanna see milwaukee wrenches after 20 years of abuse. On the flip side I only have milwaukee fuel for my cordless tools and wouldnt trade them for anything
I own all three brands and love them all I do feel the Milwaukee is the best bang for the buck. I have Carlyle all the way up to 50mm Williams for all my larger sae up 2.5 inch.
Gotta hand it to milwaukee on racks, but man, 7 years of wear on my snap ons, and still cant get anything to fuck em up is kinda my deal (everyones hands and use bit different too). But hella great comparison betweem the sets for sure!
I don’t even use my snap on set very much. Since I got the Milwaukee I use them. I like that wider handle better on them. And the wrench holders are just plain ...... sexy !
I wonder if my Cornwell guy can get the Milwaukee sets for me. Guess I'll find out Monday. You sold me on them.
They are really nice. I have put them through it and they haven’t let me down. They bite good and will take it !
That Milwaukee wrench set is awesome. Love the holders
Robert Delgado they are extremely sweet !
Great job no punches pulled review thank you Can’t type now headed to Home Depot
The word going around the You Tube World for tools is the Channellock version and the Carlyle version is the one and the same wrench produced by the same company in Taiwan. I watched another film about that and the presenter gave the name of the company, but I don't remember which film it was. Channellock has a 10 pcs set in metric and SAE on their website for $50.
Donald Hollums that’s a good deal on them but I bet they don’t fit as many wrenches into a tight drawer like Milwaukee does ! That’s one of my favorite parts ! You can pack a bunch into a tight space the way they designed those wrench holders. I love them !
mdlee52,Rob's Wrenches and Garnett Tools have videos on the Channellock sets.
Koon Trucking I admire how more committed Milwaukee has become to getting the serious mechanic/technician good, quality tools to work with. I’m interested to see what else Milwaukee comes up with. I like the design of the open end on the Milwaukee and Carlyle set. My order of preference would be the Milwaukee, Carlyle, and Cornwell sets.
Donald Hollums those Milwaukee had me the min I held one. I love that groove in them and it being a little wider plus the wrench holders fitting together to save space ! Hands down clear winner in my book.
Koon Trucking the only way to get a better tool review this side of a locomotive mechanic is from a “Large Car” mechanic.
Great review...thanks . I own the snap on set..was looking to purchase another set of wrenches for when im on the go. Helped me out
Who the f***would put a thumbs down on this video! Great video Mr.Clay
Steve Dykes I have some “Dedicated” fans I guess ! Haha trolls or Die hard M word fans maybe or even a M word dealer ? Haha it don’t bother me any a thumbs down 👎 is still a view ! Thanks for watching and I truly appreciate your support ! It’s comments like yours that keep me going ! Thanks a lot.
Koon Trucking no problem I really look forward to the content you put out! Although these videos do make me run the bank account a little low from time to time lol.
Anyone expecting to see any actual strength/torture tests!
I love my Carlyle metric wrench set. I got it about 6 months ago to replace my old craftsman usa set my dad gave me. Had no problems with the craftsman, i was just worried about not being able to get a usa warranty replacement.
koskey06 yeah the USA craftsman tools are pretty much a thing of the past now.
@@KoonTrucking So are the NAPA USA tools. Its always kinda a sad day when i have to replace my NAPA USA with a Carlyle, but in all honesty, Carlyle are great tools and i have no complaints.
That being said i just saw a Carlyle dead blow hammer that was USA made. Blew my mind.
I've used the Milwaukee wrenches for about a year now only complaint i have is they're a bit too short in length
I agree they could stand to be a few inches longer but they are good
Well done video. Thank you for making it.
Well Done! Thank you so much for taking the time.
Glade I’m just getting into the tool game cuz I’ve been buying all the Milwaukee stuff
All my everyday metric is snap on . Big metric is blue point. Then all my af and bsw are britool. Which back in the day was better than snap on ! Nice video I may have a look at the Milwaukee ones
Machining Basics they are amazing wrenches for the money.
The Home Depot never has the Milwaukee wrenches in my area. Excellent video
The Readable markings really sold me on the Milwaukee
Thanks Clay, great review. I picked up a set of Tekton wrenches to give a try. May have to pick up s set of Milwaukee's.
Randy_914 those Milwaukee are my go to wrenches. I really like them a lot !
Please get your hands on some WrightGrip 2.0 combination wrenches. Made in the USA and every bit the wrench the Flankdrive plus is as far as gripping fasteners. Roughly 1/2 what a Flankdrive set goes for. I bet your independent tool truck man can get them. They offer them in a satin finish or a full polished finish. They are a USA made option that won’t set you back as much as Snapon.
Milwaukee may not be made in USA (or Canada in my case), it has been pumping out very acceptable quality tools that still makes sense for the "prosumers". It would be nice to get made in America, even at a reasonable premium, but I've noticed that with good quality control, some overseas makers are making very decent tools that won't break the bank. In all honesty, some are making tools in Asia that can be occasionally of better quality and design.
Snap on is obviously great they stay in my box at the shop, Carlyle wrenches are incredible at any price, they stay in my home box and do super well, I run Carlyle’s for my stubbys and they work very well and hold up
Thanks for this I was just looking at the Milwaukee set on the cornwell truck today a d for the price I think I will get then I need sae bad
I love my Carlyle sets. Put about 150ft lbs or better on the 15mm doing a brake job and no worries at all
I got lucky and got the snap on 10pc for $150 on the truck used.
The other factor is warranty. Snap-on we already know you would have to wait a week for a replacement. Unless the dealer has no problem making a personal trip to your shop. Milwaukee, got to make sure the merchant is a authorized seller to honor the warranty on it. Carlyle, walk in and swap it out or they can come to you for the swap, however they do not do warranty on the Milwaukee .
Milwaukee has a great line up of tools. Mac came out with the gruve in the middle of wrench first makes it more comfortable in your hand plus better grip on tool if your hands get oil on them good job milwaukee tool
all 3 look good!
Great video sir! You made the decision of which to buy easy. Nothing like Milwaukee!
I am going to go with the Milwaukee.
Many people don't know but Snap-On, Mac abd Gearwrench don't have the best Quality Control. You can get Quality brands at a fraction of the cost of SO, Mac and GW.
Crescent, Husky, Towallmark, Carlyle, Duralast, Tekton and Icon are good wrenches to get for Quality.
I do get Tekton and Gearwrench for specialized wrenches like Reversible Ratcheting Spline sets or 6pt Ratcheting sets and extractor wrench sets.
Great personal appinion . I think I would agree with you just looking at them . Great video brother keep up the great work see you in the next video .
Scott Pearson they fit nuts and bolts extremely well and I prefer the handles much more than the Carlyle or Snap On and the wrench rack design sealed the deal. They EARNED the starting spot in my wrench drawer.
I always hated to but most of my wrenches have been hammered on. I have a 1 1/4 that will never be able to be warrantied drain plugs and sledgehammer. I still never figured out why they had to be that tight but I busted them loose.
Scott Pearson I have done the same before I bought an impact !
I would never use an impact on a drain plug just me. I have seen to many Cat engines oil pan get the threads pulled out or crack. I guess just old school and Service truck lazy didn't want to start the air compressor. Thanks for listening to me ramble
Scott Pearson haha I don’t like using them either but I have had to do that and I think it has something to do with the short bursts seems to pop loose easy. If I’m really struggling I will stick that 3/8” Milwaukee on there and usually just a bump and it breaks it free. Then screw it out w my fingers and tighten it the “correct” way when it all drains. People kill me using a 26” ratchet then strain to tighten an oil plug. I just shake my head.
Thank you for sharing. Awesome channel!
Thank you ! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment !
Hey, just thought I'd let you know your intro music is louder than your mic, just thought I'd share some input 😉, great review!
Got my 15 piece Milwaukee set new 59.99 when first came out I think the ebay had wrong price had small set price on. I bought sae and metric. Both 59.99 each
I’d have to pick snap on, just based off of how aggressive the non-slip knurls are on the open side of the wrench, and if you want a better priced USA made snap on equivalent wrench than give Wright tools a look.
Got my metric set. Nice wrenches but disappointed they are missing the 24mm. Use that size a lot.
379insk that’s exactly why I haven’t shelled out any money for the Milwaukee’s the absence of a 24 is a big let down for me. I’m sure they are great wrenches but I can buy some channellocks which are identical to the Carlyle’s and still spend less up above 24 mm
Richard Olsen .. An update
...compared the Milwaukee's to my new Canaidian Tire set. C TIRE wrenches are longer and thinner and have the 24mm wrench but are missing the 16mm which is another wrench I use working on JD equipment. Canadian Tire have full warranty and cheaper by far on sale so I won't be buy any more Milwaukee. Probably just buy a separate 16mm......Double update...lol..My best flat wrench set of all time is my John Deere US made set in the 70s my dad bought.
I am a Mac guy. But I think I'm going to buy the Milwaukee wrenches
On both the Carlyle and the Snap-on and the Snap-on is definitely worth the money it is Head and Shoulders above Carlyle
How so?
I know it's impossible to try every brand out there but curious if you have tried the Wright Grip set yet?
I'm looking to pick up a backup set of wrenches to my Mac precision's (best feeling wrench hands down for me) and usually I go with Urrea (poor man's Proto pro wrenches) as backup wrenches but their quality has completely dropped out now so I have been looking at the Wright Grip 15 piece metric for $167. I actually prefer the satin finish wrenches to the full polished but the Milwaukee wrenches look a LOT like the Mac precision wrenches or the Proto spline drive wrenches.
I have not used the weight grip sets but I do love the Mac precision wrenches. They have been added since this video and I like them a lot. I also prefer the satin finish also.
Milwaukee NEEDS a LONG version ... until then ... Snap On.
Great video. Well done. Milwaukee hands down
Mde yeah Milwaukee knocked it out of the park on these wrenches ! They are awesome !!
Great video thanks for the info.
You sold me!
We don't get the Milwaukee wrenches here in the uk but they look amazing ordered myself a metric set from US eBay can't wait till the arrive to try them out
I enjoy these type of videos. Have you tried sockets and impact socket.
Good comparison video Clay. They all are nice Wrenches I personally like the Milwaukee fit and finish as well. They look better than the Snap on. You can buy 2 Milwaukee sets for that snap on set. But snap on does make nice Wrenches too. Good video keep up the great work brother!
Milwaukee has killed it on these wrenches ! The holders are awesome. I like the wider handle and thumb groove a whole lot in them.
