- I went to Harbor Freight and bought every single ICON tool they had on the shelf and compared it with husky, craftsman, and snap-on tools. It was almost $2000 total for everything. The comparison between ICON and Snap-on is very similar! I think the ICON tools are worth the money but we will see over time how well they hold up in comparison to Husky, craftsman, snap-on and other name brand tools. The Harbor Freight ICON tool line has a decent selection so far of sockets and wrenches. The Snap-on vs Harbor Freight has been a long debate and still continuous. This is a decent summary of my thoughts on the ICON tools so far and the Husky vs Harbor freight, Snap-on vs Harbor Freight and so on.

Overtime Garage congrats 🥳
Lots of overtime can do it!
High quality junk from CHINA should have spent your 1.855.00 with TEKTON from Grand rapids Michigan
Yea no kidding!
2K at Snap On would have Bought u a Bottle Opener & Jacket 😂😂
Haha for real 🤣🤣
@@JustinTBraun u all did great though! Nice overhaul bro
Hey thanks!!
preach brother preach lmao
👌
About 5 years ago, I started checking out more and more HF tools and equipment and I can honestly say how impressed I am. Their quality has come up 10 fold over the years.
Agreed. Hopefully they stick with it
garlic and cheese
Fun fact, the one who designed ICON was an ex employee from Snap-On, that’s why the tools look almost like Snap-On
I've heard that a bunch. Very interesting
Totally makes sense! I was in LOVE today what I got my breaker bar ratchet with grip! Even the box was like unboxing my iPhones but better. Even came with a cleaning rag. Beautiful tools and now my favorites. Going back tomorrow for the 1/2” socket set.
Should have called it Snap off
@@josebarrientos7518🤣😂 that's hilarious.
I hope you don't mind me sounding ignorant, but where did you gentlemen hear/read/ see anything about this? Was it an online article or word of mouth?
I'm definitely not a tool snob, after finishing one career, I started working in an independent car shop. The company trainer gave me some good advice, "all tools can break, buy the best tools you can afford". Harbor Freight it was...I've only broken two tools. One was a Pittsburgh Pro double-ended flex head ratchet, I think it was a quality control issue. The other was a Pittsburgh Pro 3/8" breaker bar. I was using a 3' extension, supporting my 170lbs on it and bouncing to try and turn a bolt. After 15 minutes of this the anvil finally broke. Never bought anything off the tool truck, probably never will.
Well said. They work better than people think
Rumor has it one week later he couldn't find a single 10 mm socket
🤣🤣
Rumor has it he is still unpacking these to this day
@@jw200 🤣🤣
I once bought 12 just in the event I'd lose them, lost them the minute I walked out the door, SON OF A BITCH!
They're like socks. Seriously. Always disappearing.
I see harbor freight having their own tool truck in the future.
That would definitely put a plot twist on everything lol
That would be cool as shit
Would love that
I bet it's going to be some rickety wooden Chinese rickshaw.
If the truck ever breaks down, they can just return it and get it replaced...if they have one in stock.
If you fill the back of those trays with expanding foam it makes them very strong and ridge they will hold the wrenches and sockets for years and not break , Pete M
That's an awesome idea!!
That’s a damn good idea!
@@JustinTBraun Can you make a video of this please???
Pete M you are a scholar and a gentleman! How the hell have I not thought of that?
Haha possibly
But did you get your free flashlight and 20% off?
🤣 no free flashlight
Just download the app then you have every coupon on your phone that they then can scan directly from your phone.
@@tronalddump8776 yea!
Mike Metzgier what’s the app called?? I looked up Harbor Freight?
@@kccreations5945 HF coupons
Your friend trying to low-key get his own tools lol.
"Should we get doubles of everything just to make sure" i see you lol.
🤣🤣 for real
1:36 he grabs two😂
This gave me such a happy feeling just seeing a bunch of tools everywhere I love it
Haha perfect!
No seriously, it’s like a work guys wet dream
Shoulda bought everything one at a time and stocked up on flashlights
Not a fan of those flash lights
It's been 2 years. Do you have a comparison update? Pro/Con, quality, anything break? What do you use now more as a set or individual tool?
Agreed
Time doesn’t matter when they aren’t being used every day
I’ve been using mostly ICON everyday for the past year and I haven’t had anything bend, break, or wear too significantly. For the price, they are phenomenal. They will honor the guarantee, my dad broke a screw driver and no questions asked it was replaced, but that’s my only example because nothing else has broken.
@@cgrizzly33 I’ve been using them for about a year doing lift kits and off road builds and even been punishing a chrome 19mm on a big impact and I haven’t got anything to break or even mess up a little bit. I love tools, so I own a lot of different brands, and I’d consider them top notch
Here is his 1 year update czcams.com/video/BjlWnqK1yxY/video.html
Can't wait to see how they hold up to the other top brands. Definitely will be watching your videos to see. I believe they will be a lot of people wanting to know if they are going to be worth investing in. Great video.
Agreed! Thanks. Will do my best to give everyone good feedback from them. They feel like very nice quality tools.
@@JustinTBraun how have these tool held up for you?
@mikeganard6751 I'm a heavy duty mechanic and I've used mine on tractor trailers and they hold up pretty good, I haven't broke any
Thanks for sharing your setup. I'm impressed with what I've seen from Icon so far.
Welcome!
I love the two 44" US General setup that you have. I was considering getting the 56" but I may just get two of these instead. I like the option of them being more mobile than the 56" since it's smaller and lighter.
And they have a ton of room!
Last Life I have the same set up love my generals
I’ve been an auto mechanic for 30 years. The last 15 I owned my own shop. I’ve spent a king’s ransom in just damn toolboxes alone and it dawned on me that a toolbox has never made me one penny. The tools inside have enabled me to make money but those big fancy ass boxes ain’t never made me one cent. It’s too late for me but a young man would do well to leave those huge ass boxes on the tool truck. When I was a young tech it didn’t take much for me to tell a Stealership to kiss my ass. I kept a rollback busy for a few years.
eBay is full of those huge boxes that ain’t worth 1/2 what they guy paid for them.
Spend your money on things that appreciate in value like land, gold, etc. Tools are NOT an investment. They are an expense to do business . I’ve seen the Icon line. They are made in the same factory as NAPA Carlyle hand tools. The same factory makes Sunex impact sockets. Sunex makes the toughest impact socket you can buy. They also are making Milwaukee wrenches too.
@@prevost8686 spot on buddy! When i came home from the army i needed something to keep busy, so i did automotive analysis and repair at the community college. Worked at autozone full time and school full time. After school i got a job at a Honda dealership. I hated the untruthfulness there. When my first child was born i ended up staying home full time. I bought 80% harbor freight tools to start with, and the rest was craftsman (also some duralast brand) but i had a cheaper older mac box. I learned right quick that the debt of tools to the income in a dealership was just not right. I sometimes wish i would have done different things with all the money i spent. Land or flip houses.
Teng tools also come with nice trays
What you keep saying is exactly why I like the Icon line, the ease of swapping them out if anything breaks.
Makes it supper convenient!!
Being able to swap your broken tools is key I don't know if its just the Snap-off dealer I have but that dude will never replace a tool with a tool that's rite there on his truck he will order it and make you wait for it and if you tell him you can't wait cuz you need it for every day use like every mechanic out there he just said well if you need it that bad then buy a new one thats when I told him that I won't buy tools from him anymore and I only use him for replacement now I love my Snap-on tools but can not stand the shit head Snap-on dealer that I have in my town
@@hulksmash5-625 He probably does it that way so he can claim all the replacements on paper or something. There's probably some convoluted proxe involved. Sorry to hear that man!
This is so dope!
I've never been so excited for a tool video! This brand is decent af!
It's pretty good!
Do a month and year on how the tools do any good
Definitely will be!
I’ve had my icon ratchet for a month now. Love it
@@spkismyfavrapper9489 good to hear!
Now that's a haul! I wish they would offer locking flex head ratchets with Icon.
Me too! Hopefully soon!
That's what I'm waiting on.
Do a 3 or 6 month review, see how they hold up to everyday use. Looks nice but how do they perform
Definitely will be!
Overtime Garage will be my ass, icon suck
Like the old saying, looks can be deceiving.
1) Icon is the tool truck quality brand at HF
2) HF actually stands behind their warranty, and doesn't really ask questions.
3) At least for the 1/2" breaker bar, save your money and get the Pittsburgh. $20, goes on sale for ~$15, still has a lifetime, and has been tested against the big tool truck branded competitors... and beat all of them. Look up Real Tool Reviews.
This is my mentality for breaker bars all day.
I’ve just got so excited a little bit of wee came out🤗
Cool video man, definitely gone check out some other ones as well. Keep us posted on how the tools hold up.
Thanks. Will do!
💥 This is awesome, I love Harbor Freight and have made a few videos of my own. I use their tools all the time.
Nice job 👍
Hey thanks!
I have to say, wow. Outstanding.
🤘
Just bought a wrench set. They are a copy of snap-on flank drive 2. They are a little sharp on box end like they needed to tumble another hour. So far I'm impressed. Tray is nice. Did you notice if you flip the bolt down piece over it's a wrench wrack too or would work for one $1800 isnt bad. That covers my 1/4" drive snap-on stuff. Wish they would come out with semi-deep sockets.
They have to be coming out with some more stuff soon I would imagine.
Exciting! Thanks for sharing!
Anytime!
I give all my old tools that I’ve replaced to the local High School, giving back to the future generation is a good thing not to mention a tax write off! Love your videos
That's awesome to hear! Thanks!
I work on heavy equipment and I have a lot of HF tools. The Pittsburgh extendable ratchets have no issues their 4 ton jack lifts skid loader with ease. I have icon and Pittsburgh sockets work great. Also their impact the earthquake is amazing compared to our snap on we have. Low setting torques lug nut just fine and put a breaker bar to see if would turn more and they wouldn’t unless you want to go ape nuts on it. I also have the same tool box he has in the video but blue and love it.
Good to hear!
Y’all should do a tool box tour next I wanna see how that all looks in the box
Eventually I will be doing a box tour.
That's a good deal. I'm needing more tools as always.. I wish they had torque wrenches in there for that 2k, but this may be my go to to halfway fill up my tool box for cheap. Nice video
It's at least worth trying out! Thanks 🤘
I like harbor freight tools because they what Sears used to be !! walk in with a broken tool walk out with a replacement tool with no hassle that why I've been buying my all my tools at harbor freight 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Heck yea!!
I only returned a Craftsman tool once, a screwdriver (okay maybe Someone used it as a chisel), This was 40 years ago, and the sales guy said this looks abused. I pointed to the sign over his head that said "Satisfaction Guaranteed" He got me the new screwdriver and cussed under his breath. Only ONE HF return, and no questions asked... Yes, The new Sears... you hit it spot on..
😬
i went to HF with 2 broken racheting breaker bars, some broken torx sockets, and a broken extension (went he-man on some bolts on a rusty truck LOL). told the cashier the breaker bars had stripped teeth. the cashier said ok and in 5 minutes I walked out with new breaker bars and sockets.
when I was 19, I bought some craftsman tools to work on my car and couldnt exchange some torx t handle wrenches with twisted tips and a phillips drivers with a cracked tip because "they were abused". last new craftsman tools I bought. everything since was from home depot (husky or milwaukee) or harbor freight.
@@cadillackevin1991 good to hear. Easy exchanges
I love that everything has its own tray. I may have to ditch all my tray less gear wrenches and sockets for these.
They are nice trays. A couple of them take up a lot of room but not to bad.
Overtime Garage yea looks like the wrench sets won’t fit comfortably in my milwaukee box lol. But I definitely want those socket and ratchet sets
@@AndyP4X they are awesome. I use wrench organizer trays instead of the ones they came with.
Which of the trays did you wind up using? I’d really like to know if any of those trays are good enough for tool storage. Thanks a bunch, nice video!
Man i was loving the thought of filling the basket up with them tools!!!!
Hell yea! always a good feeling.
I picked up a couple of ratchets from icon and so far I’ve been pretty pleased with their performance.
They are nice
I wish these tools were available when I started out
Reminds me of my childhood days in a toy section of the store and show my new toys my brothers . Thanks Brothers.
All the fun!
As a retired aviation technician, specializing in UH 60 Black Hawk helicopters, I really liked my Snap On tools. Don't get me wrong, in the Army we had lowest bidder tools left over from Vietnam in the late 1980's and into about mid 1990's when they switched over to a different style tool box that was a block of foam for shadowing.
Was definitely different back then.
I could walk around in harbor freight all day and not get bored lol
Haha
Looks good. Curious how they handle. I know craftsman had a crazy deal back in the day for all sockets you would ever need wpild love to see hf do the same with these or even package deals for students and apprentices.
A package deal would be neat. Like a mechanics set or something.
I bought it. The Craftsman set of like every socket they ever made. Don't quote me on this but I think it was like 300 dollars?? Anyway. It was the only super super complete socket set I could find. 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, in 6 point and 12 point in like every size. I would have considered other brands but no one else sold such a complete set. I bought it two years ago and since then all Sears stores in my area have closed including the Mall of America location which was only 15 minutes from me. Not sure how warranty will be but I have not broken any yet.
Ace Hardware and Lowes are selling and doing warranties for Craftsman tools.
Yes
I love harbor freight stuff man. For a shadetree and shop tinkerer like me they are perfect. And I know this video is old, but just wanted to say.... Congrats for one. And for two - that is a lot at one time but think about how good that is. You could do just a few odd repair jobs or something for others and damn near have that bill paid off. Thats a steal man.
just bought 100 bucks of tools there too, then I saw your video lol your awesome, congratulations on your new tools thanks for the post!!
Thanks for watching!
Bold move buying all of them. I dig it.
Lol
6 point box end or combination would be great... In full run of metric ( no skipping sizes)..
I want those also!
Clean set up there, good lighting too.
🤘
I just stumbled upon this. Great video. I have about $400 worth of icon stuff so far and I went to Home Depot today to grab one thing and walked out with 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive husky 144 tooth ratchets and I have to say I like the husky ratchets so far. Spent more than I should have today 😂
Hey Thanks! I rock husky tools also!
I just picked up a us general tool box from there. For the money I am happy 👍👍 I saw the icon tools and thought they are a good deal.
I've had awesome luck with my general boxes.
Living the dream bro
Trying to!
love to see your channel and please do toolbox tour. keep it up
For sure will be! Thanks
I am exhausted just looking at how many packages you have to open, looks like too much work. Also, Talk about having a big boy Christmas.. lol.. great Video and review. love the green tool Boxes. great review,,
Haha thanks!
Love the two 44” together green 👍
Hey thanks! It work awesome!
Definitely looks sweet. I was contemplating a 72 wide cause I prefer having a work surface. 2 44's never crossed my mind.
@@my11badkids78 its also cheaper to get 2 44s and you end up with more storage space. I went with the 44s cause I like the detent drawers and they way they are layed out.
Good video i am sure people will like the quality i just subbed to you
🤘
Was thinking the same thing. So far it's the best quality video I have seen regarding the Icon tools.
Hell yeah man! Check your sockets. When I bought my tools I got TWO 14mm shallows. I bought all tools cept ratchets and 1/2 deep SAE (didnt have it)
Will do!
Lowes picked up the craftsman line and they do sell individual sockets and wrenches which is nice for those of us that started with craftsman and were left stranded when Sears shut down.
Ace also has craftsman still
Damn I just stumbled into this.. it felt like Christmas when I was a kid
Can't beat that feeling!
$1852... One set of Snap-On sockets... Just SAE, Metric not included... Lmao.
For real! Haha
Never cared much for the smooth chrome finish on SnapOn tools, back in the day they have a line called ParX that was rough that I preferred (yes I was turning wrenches back then). Limited line of those but I really liked them. My 1971 9 drawer SnapOn box is still loaded ParX, Husky and Craftsman tools. I bought tools to make living, not to impress anyone. They are all well used (except maybe the 19/32" combination wrench) and loved.
Snap on still have them under there industrial brand either Williams or Wright I don't recall the exact name
@@patricelebrasseur5649 They also had industrial brand back in the 70's that had a rough "black" finish (don't recall the name) but the ParX brand had a grey ( natural iron color) finish.
I am definitely a fan of the chrome tools. They are easier to keep clean.
You went to buy every size they got and already had a very nice set.
I'm over here cleaning rust off the ones I got from pawnshops and or old tool sales stores and I still don't have a complete set. A lot of copies of the same stuff, but dang bro lol I need to get set up like that. Nice set bro. Happy for you. 👍🏽
P.s. when I tried to put in a thumbs up I accidentally put the middle finger..... lol would have seemed like I was being sarcastic 🤷🏽♂️😂
Thanks man. Its nice to have a second set to take with you for other projects.
The Icon line appears to be close to similar items in the Gearwrench line with the exception that the gearwrench ratchets are slightly stronger. They are not on par with Snap On but they are a good value considering the relative cost.
Its hard to beat a gearwrench. Been using mine for a long time and have never had an issue!
Even harbor freights lesser Pittsburgh pro outperforms snap-on
@@SDMFTommySick your hillarious
@@jaylee61788 very hilarious
@DOPENOLA 1 go ahead do a strength test on the handles. I'll wait.
I was in H.F. 2 weeks ago, as they were still loading their racks with the new Icon tools. I asked if the 20% coupon can be used on Icon tools, and she said "NO". Don't it figure, you can't use it on the expensive high quality stuff.
There is a 20% off coupon for icon right now if you’re on the email list that’s good while SEMA is going on.
I have not seen that one yet
How’s Lewiston idaho? Haha noticed the background great video man!
would love to see ICON come out with semi-deep sockets as well!
That would be nice
What kind of sociopath likes 12 point sockets 😂
Driveshaft sockets
The one that would like to take fasteners off that require 12pt. 👌
I use 12 pt deep sockets for 3/8 almost exclusively. Never have a problem. If a fastener looks too rotted, I use half inch 6 point
Twas just a joke, im not too fond of 12 points and if i need a 12 point, I usually go for a wrench. I know there's definitely a place for 12 point sockets like diff yokes and such.
You’ve never worked on international products I see
After spending 20 years in the tool business I am seriously impressed. NEVER EVER thought I would say
that about Harbor Freight! Tool trucks are in for it!
Thats my same thoughts. I am curious to see what kind of impact this will have on tool trucks
Overtime Garage Of course they will play it down. What else can they do? The truck pricing has created this
opening for HF and they have taken full advantage of it. Perfect timing on their part I would say!
@@craigjorgensen4637 for sure! Its crazy how expensive the tool trucks have got over the years. I mean some of those tool prices are just way out there...
@@craigjorgensen4637 nahh I disagree most guys working on cars tell the tool man to get them what they want and the tool trucks have all the special tools sizes that icon does not thin wall on sockets and wrench boxes which you will find comes in handy in crucial times of clearance different length and style of wrenches racheting also and financing on truck most guys I've worked with had bad credit so they won't get hf to finance them and the tool trucks already have their lower lines that compete with this stuff already that isn't much more expensive at all cornwell blue power 3/8 drive chrome deep and shallow sae and metric with a cornwell ratchet 200 bucks it's damn near the same as the icon sockets with a ratchet and you can get it in 12 point aswell and the cornwell guy will take 30 a week till you pay it off and warranty it so that's where I disagree
Victor Van Etten I agree about the financing. The tool truck guys give credit to people with no credit or horrible credit that no financial institution would touch. They get burned too! I think HF may have no idea just how bad some of these applicants are going to be. Still, this isn’t going to make the trucks go out of business but they are going to be affected big time. Some on the edge may not survive.
I’m going same route for my new shop...great video
Thanks!
Just found your channel. Awesome vids. Sweet tool set
Hey thanks 🤘
When I was younger and wrenched I was sucked into the Snap-On Mac hype. My Mac tool box alone cost $3,500.00 and that was 25 years ago. Harbor Freight tools have come along way and if I were to do it again I would stay out of the Tool Trucks that came by.
That's exactly how I feel.

Me to!
Dude that ain’t bad at all. I’m gonna have to make a trip to HF. I’ve been needing to get some full sets to keep in my pick-up box instead of just the random assortment of over flow stuff from work.
Good idea!
Why is CZcams recommending this video to me? Oh I know! Because I love these videos! Subbed and smashed the like button.
Heck yea! Thank you! 🤘
Put them thru hell, see if they hold up.
@@davidchristopher5976 will definitely be doing that!
I can honestly say that if I would ever go back to work as a mechanic and had to buy all tools over again I would buy those Icon tools and would fill up my toolbox for 2500 to 3k completely compared to over 10 to 12k from snapon
I’m a compression mechanic in the oilfield working on 3600 cat engines and I use icon tools, they work great.
Thats good to hear! You guys still staying busy over there with everything going on?
you should do one tool box metric and the other standard
Thought about that. One of them is full of speciality tools. And then the snap on box beside those 2 is full of connectors, fittings, wiring supplies etc.
I was thinking 1600. Love HFT worked there 5 years
Nice!!
I have broken so many HF tools doing heavy mechanic work that i just can’t trust them much. Its good for home small projects i guess. Great video 👍
I've used a lot of craftman and snap on for heavy duty work on equipment and have never broke anything luckily. I hope the HF stuff holds up well.
Thanks brothers I'm subscribing for sure dude..
Thank you!
Went to local Harbor Freight to buy a icon wrench set, but some guy had already bought all them to break on CZcams videos.
Lol damn CZcams people
thanks for the views
@@johnbailey1085 anytime!!

Wonder if Snap-On is writing up another law suit lol. I looked at the Icon lineup at my local harbor freight and was impressed.
Most likely they are 🤣. They are nice!
They will just settle it out of court again when HF brings up how their tools are made next door in china too.
@@mackenziehaines9458 🤣
Nice haul guys 👍🏻

Thanks!
Love this video
🤘
And now I'm going to harbor freight this Saturday and buying everything
Haha
The Icons are sweet! I also like that if anything happens we just take them back to the store and they will swap the tool for a new one same day!!
Definitely love that about them. Its nice to have tools that can be easily replaced if they ever break.
@@JustinTBraun When did that change? Several videos said it has to be mailed in.
Thats exactly what i heard they have to be mailed in.2 days or longer to get back
They do a instore exchange. They open the box get a new tool out and take the broken one and then they mail in the tool after its all exchanged so the customer does not have to wait. Atleast thats how the Lewiston store works.
I literally only buy Pittsburgh. Been a mechanic for 2 year and hasn’t failed me yet. Actually one thing was my dual head extendable. 1/4drive just snapped the other day and is now stuck inside an adapter lol. That’s only cuz I really needed to use it in a pinch to tighten my shock bolt. Also a dude at my work hates HF and says anything you get there breaks immediately the first time you use it. What a dope
Nice man really nice, wish they would have had these 30 years ago. i would have been total Icon. Nice boxes also. thanks for the upload.
Definitely a lot more brands now days
I'd like to seem some specialty stuff too like, triple square, torx, etc
I believe that stuff is in the works
@@JustinTBraun Yeah I work on a lot of audi/vw stuff so triple squares a must lol.

I’ve had a harbor freight set of torx and metric Allen sockets for a few years now and have had no complaints.

What was the purpose for a completely new tool set if you already got tools?

I wasn't aware of the Icon tool line until I noticed the big ass toolbox display a couple of weeks ago. The ratchet quality felt good, along with the ratcheting wrenches. I purchased an Icon TORX bit set, tried to use the coupon....no go. Icon tools are exempt from the coupon.
Yea they are sadly.
Milwaukee vs. Dewalt comparisons always get my attention.
Power tools video coming soon!
Damn brother you went all out lol
Possibly to far 😬 lol
@@JustinTBraun too*
What's the deal about these icon? I haven't been to harbor freight in a year because all my tools from there still work.
It's their new tool line
It's their professional tool line, my brother in law bought a bunch like this guy to review as a mobile tractor mechanic since they came out amd hasn't broke one tool so I'd say they're worth the money
Notice this vid id a couple years old. Curious to a update on the icon tools? Mainly the 3/8 ratchet(s) and ratchet wrenches?
Nice video👍🏽 you didn't get any of their torque wrenches?!
No. I'm a fan of the digital ones that have degrees built into them. I use them for the degrees fairly often.
