Jeff, we appreciate your honesty & integrity ( and of course your generosity)...I think these are the main reasons most of us love your channel & support you! We're looking forward to your USA series. Please don't forget all the small USA companies who make specialized tools, Wilde, Vaughan,, Wright, A&E, Estwing, Midwest Tools, Lisle, Lang, Imperial tool, OTC, Trusty Cook, etc. You could spend a week on USA specialty tools alone! I know some of these you recently reviewed.
@@jefftovani5535 Add in Calvan, Martin and the like. A&E and Lang are the same company in Racine, WI. They were very helpful and a nice group of folks. They also own Star-Hoffman who made testers for just about everyone out there.
A real guy giving honest reviews, good and bad. That's why we watch. If a company makes quality tools they should be ok with an honest review. If a company wants your input, they could send you tools to try, without doing a video, and ask what areas need improvement. They could examine your input, good and bad, and improve their products. After doing some R&D, re-evaluate doing a video review. Everybody wins in that scenario!!!!
Hi barry your rite,if they make quality tools they shouldnt have to tell you only say good things about there product!! i like your idea of having a co. send you there product and do no video,just try it out and tell them whats good and bad!! thanks my friend for joining in!!
Integrity. Well, a Ford tech shirt and Bowtie cap...🤣🤣🤣 too funny. That's the reason imo, is why your channel is growing. For the most part. I know that's why I hung on at first, but now I honestly like and enjoy your videos. Great video Jeff, as always, thanks and God bless.
Yea the ford shirt,chevy hat,that in itself tells you im not loyal to anyone brand!!!! if it works good,great,if it doesnt work good, its junk no matter who makes it!!!! thanks my friend!!!!
Your honesty is one of the main reasons I watch your channel. I enjoy learning from someone who isn't expecting anything in return for their knowledge and time. I can usually tell when someone is full of crap when they speak. You've helped me make a few purchases lately, or at least rule some stuff out. I'm waiting on some products from Teng Tools to pop up on your channel. They're supposed to be at the top from Taiwan, quality wise. They're a Swedish owned company ,and so far, have great quality control.
A lot of excellent points. I appreciate your honest reviews. You point out both the good and bad points of the tools you review. If something is an outright piece of junk you let us know. Ford Boss Me had a video today that covered the same subject. He has been approached by companies who had the same stipulations. He he turned them down also. Looking forward to the upcoming reviews on USA made tools. Have a Happy and Safe 4th Jeff!
I like your style! This is why I watch all your videos!! This is why your channel will grow to unlimited numbers in the future!! Great advice honesty and integrity is lacking in todays world! Glad to see a channel that’s true and told like it is!! Enjoyed thanks Jeff for sharing and for the reviews!!
Jeff when you do a review it leads me the right way because you tell it how it is and that is what I want completely honest and unbiased reviews. Thanks
Honestly, it is always the best policy. Like my Mother always told me the truth is easy to remember, but a lie will always change. Great advice, Jeff, and I appreciate the fact that you don't edit your videos
Good on you Jeff. I used to write for the shooting industry. I am not a stranger to sponsorship. I was sponsored by a bullet company at one point too. I’ve concluded that once I do have that offer in this industry, I will also consider what their rep is for relevant warranties and customer service. That said, if Harbor Freight wants to send me tool boxes, by all means. Considering a 2nd job with them until at least after our contract is signed this fall. Partly because I think we may strike. Mostly for the discounts as I redo my shop.
Your work, guiding folks to a good tool, is invaluable. Most tool companies, from junk to premium, offer a lifetime warranty. There's little value in a tool that requires a warranty claim. A tool is useless if broken after all
Thanks happy i real appreciate your take on it!! so many people stick with one brand and thats it!!! they miss out!! and i agree about a broken tool!!!! take care my friend!!!!
Jeff's garage adventures.. I'm the same way. I do honest reviews and I tell it like it is. If it's bad I say it, if it's good I say it, or somewhere in between. I have full control of my videos and will NOT say a product is good if I don't think it is just for the sake of getting a free product/tools. Iv'e had companies want me to review things like a microwave, makeup bag, kids chair, earbuds, robotic lawn mower etc etc. If it doesn't align with my channel I am not going to review it.
I've been banned from tool boards and the like due to speaking my mind. One of the boards online which is very well known had a bunch of Sears Craftsman haters. So, I told all the haters, "Send me your Craftsman tools you don't want. I'll pay for shipping, and I'll gladly use them". Sure enough, folks sent me tools and I still have them. Of course, the management on the board didn't like that and banned me. I was later told that of the moderators was seen in public and ran from folks that recognized him. That tells you that the board isn't a place that's worth your time.
Jeff, I just put this comment on your other video so another copy just to make sure you see it, I decided to test the China made SK 216 position ratchet. I put a deep wall 19mm socket on the ratchet and put it on one lug-nut. Understand I am a fat guy at 330 lbs. and I stand on it, as in I put one foot on the ratchet and climbed up on the car so the only thing holding me up was the ratchet. I then checked the ratchet and did this 2 more times. The ratchet is just fine, no change.
@@jefftovani5535 It sounds more hnperesive than it is. 330lbs X 7 in moment arm of the ratchet =2,310 Lb-in / 12 in = 192.5 Lb-Ft. Which a will made 3/8 dr should take (it does prove it's not weak). Tekton for example 90 tooth 3/8 dr ratchet on the test channels on youtube hit 290ish Lb-ft before breaking. It means most people should not have a breakage problem with the new SK ratchet under normal hand force.
Stay true my friend. Your content is rock solid. Some channel just want to get free stuff and make money by being sponsorship whores. Can’t see them lasting very long.
Thanks my friend!! i have so many tools i could care less if no one ever sent be tools for free!!! when subscribers send me tools thats different!! i always be honest with you guys!!! thanks my friend!!!!
I usually tell it in the following video,who picked what!! i just started this tool give away format but heres the list:roger icce(Felo screwdrivers)blueboy(capri wrench set) sizzleneck(carliyle wrench set)!! all previous winners didnt have a choice,i picked what was giving away!! in all there has been 35 winners in just 9 months!!!!!! wow!!!!
I only watch about 5 channels now because of people not giving honest reviews you can tell pretty quickly when someone is giving all grate advice on everything
There are a few channels I was (not anymore) subscribed to that totally sold themselves out. One in particular is a BBQ channel hosted by a mad scientist. He does the paid promotions for cereal company's, pots and pans, home health consultations and a few others that have nothing to do with BBQ. And then when he reviews something BBQ related and there's a negative he'll say it really doesn't matter. Or just ignore it all together. When in the past him and others always preached that it did matter. Of which it really does matter. One thing I can't stand is a sellout. They still get the views though and have their Patrion supporters so I guess to them that's all that matters.
Hi Brian thanks for joining in!! i hear ya,lots of big channels dont care about telling the truth!! there in it for the money and glory!!! even when they get free merchandise they dont give it away!!!! i will probably always be a small channel,but i can promise you this,ill always tell the truth about the product,and i will always give back!!!! thanks my friend for supporting the channel!!!!
Yeah man. I dont review or take anything from tool companies that try to control the way i do content or tell me what to say. Everything has to be honest and my complete thoughts.. but with that being said. You have crazy people on here who think if you like a certain tool and have nothing bad to say about it that your a "shill". If i like something, i just like it lol it's not rocket science
And that's one of the main reasons I watch your videos; integrity and honesty!!
Thank you conan!!
