Pry Bar Torture Test Snap-on vs Mayhew vs Milwaukee vs Sunex
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2021
- Did a comparison on pry bars that I own I did buy the made in china Sunex set for this test as this set I would consider a cheap pry bar and I used that as a base line I'm not in a habit of breaking tools let alone to do that on purpose. But at the end of all this I was a little disappointed in the Snap-on not even making it up to 180 ftlbs of torque before bending and surprised about the Milwaukee and the Mayhew I personally swear by them USA company with quality product and I understand that in the real world you probably never put that much torque on it. I can honesty say that I did have fun making this video and I hope you like it too

Snap on deliberately designs the shank to bend rather than to suddenly fracture which may result in an injury. Warranty-ing 100 of these pry bars is much cheaper than a law suit. You will notice Snap shanks are thinner, this allows them access to areas where the fatter ones don't fit. And it does make a difference if you are working on multilink suspensions when there's not a lot of clearance to begin with. They are still strong enough to get whatever job you are doing done in my opinion. I must say though, I do have the Mayhew bar and I use it more than the snap on. It feels more right to me when I just need to pry on something like when my mother-in-law gets stuck to the couch again.
Every company designs their pry bars to bend not break. If the Mayhew had been bent far enough it wouldn't have sprung back like it did.
Does your Mother own Snapon? lol ..Come off it mate! Re the bending...you could say the same about the 5 dollar Sunex pry bar that bent in exactly the same way. The Snapon showed here how it is OVERPRICED JUNK!
@@typhoontim125 then make sure you never use snap on tools. If you see any snap on tools around then just walk the other way. Don't let them soil the joy you experience in life.
In what world would an incredibly minor difference in shank size allow you to pry something off that you couldn’t otherwise? If space is a concern then most likely the angle you get at it or the length of the pry bar would have a much bigger effect. To me the thinner shank is just an excuse to cut costs while only being slightly better than other brands despite being 2-3 time the price.
@@kaveric_7614 ok I guess you have replaced more rear coil springs on Mercedes M and GLE-class 2013-2019 than I have so guess you are right.
Bought the 3-pc dominator set years ago and haven’t had a complaint since. Mayhew is king for prybars/punches/chisels
100% good quality for a affordable price and USA made. Thank you for watching
I was actually afraid of ya getting hurt !
Thank you for awesome video
I was too, lol
Just got my milwaukee set and I’m very glad I did feel the same with all milwaukee products too thanks for the video.
They sure did a good job ... thank you for watching
We all should be thankful for people like this Guy put there own .
Thank you and thank you for watching
They're all decent prybars. Really comes down to grip preference and tip angle preference. If you need to put a cheater on a prybar to get the job done, you should be reaching for a bigger prybar in the first place. It's an interesting test but i still would not hesitate to buy the sunex or snapon.
I just picked up milwaukee pry bar set off ebay, brand new for $65.00 dollars. Happy with my purchase.
They are pretty nice especially for the money ... thank you for watching
Me and the guy I worked with both had Milwaukee pry bars and we both snapped off the ends under routine use.
Funny you say that it happened to me a couple weeks ago LOL ... thank you for watching
I always prefer american-made tools but I'll give Milwaukee credit they designed the shank right with that I-beam profile. I can't believe no one thought of that before. It seems like the perfect shape for the shank on the pry bar. I mean they've been making girders for skyscrapers that shape for almost 100 years
I agree with you 100% it is a great design ... but the Mayhew's are made in the USA and are my favorite / go to's ... thank you for watching
The Mayhew handles look nicer do they feel better in your hand
@@darrenporsch Snap-on and Milwaukee are hard plastic handles the Mayhew is more rubber like like a comfort grip on a ratchet. I prefer the Mayhew handles but that's a personal preference
@@CountryMileGarage thanks yeah I prefer comfort grip ratchets myself so I'm sure I prefer the Mayhew handles
@@darrenporsch you can't go wrong with Mayhew they rebrand for Matco and Mac as well ... hope this helps and thank you for watching
I have that Milwaukee 4 piece bet bar set at work and I love it, I use it everyday with no problems, just wish they made a longer one as well, had to go with snap on for the longer pry bar.
I like the Milwaukee pry bars as well but was little shocked they did this well lol ... thank you for watching
I got to watch it at lunch. Snap On doesn't surprise me. I use Proto and Mayhew at work and LOVE them. But you know most mechanics gotta be Snap On LOL.
I hear you on lol I'm a big fan of Mayhew and I was glad to see it did well lol
I will have to watch tonight after work !
This sounds GREAT !!!
The end result is a little surprising but it was a very fun video to make
i forget to tell you sometimes how much i enjoy your videos.
Larry I'm truly glad you enjoy it that's what I'm doing it for. Thank you very much
wow thanks for making this video, it really helped me out. im an apprentice trying to source out good quality tools
Thank you for watching ... anything Mayhew is USA made and top quality so you can't go wrong there
I have the Snap-on set, I do' not like the handles and I really do not use them much. I use the Mac pry bars more. I also have the previous two Snap-on sets. I really enjoy your videos dude!!! I'm going to do a pry bar video too but I will wait a while to release it.
The Mac is made by Mayhew 💪💪💪
For what the Snap-on cost just some hard plastic handles is a little disappointing imo 🤣🤣🤣 but I absolutely love Mayhew stuff
Same here Jude keep up the good work you are a good man 👍👍👍
Glad I went with the Milwaukee!!
I was pleasantly surprised to be honest I kept Milwaukee and sold my Snap-on pry bars ... they are out the door lol
Man, look at those rubber PryBars! Nice Test!!! 🔨👍😁👍🔧
Thank you
At the last garage I worked at they had a demolition pry bar (the kind they use in railroad industry)for when things got scary hairy.
My old snap-on black handle probably is way stronger than the newer snap-on pry bars.
Here's one for the books:
The hyper tough pry bars at Walmart have not let me down once.
Just stay away from the ones from harbor freight that are made in India. after getting one warrantied out three times I left the last one at my uncle's house and is there right now
The hypertough with the red handles from Walmart are made by Wilde and are USA made and are good quality pry bars for sure ... thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage I have a couple snappy pry bars.
Actually just picked up a 25” HuperTough @ WalMart a few days ago. USA 🇺🇸 made, now in white & black handles as well.
Honestly seems like a pretty good prybar.. I thought for some reason Mayhew made them. Ima going to have to look into more Wilde tools.
@@ianloyd6384 Wilde is one of those tool manufacturers that a lot of people don't know about. USA made and good quality at least on the pry bars don't know much about the other things they make ... thank you for watching Ian
Damn that looks sketchy. Thanks for doing these tests!!
LOL just a little maybe ... thank you for watching
I liked the video. Sometimes the smaller shank can come in handy. I own snap on pry bars and I usually end up wearing out the tips from striking on them, I'm an auto body Tech. I've never bent on though.
I figured the Sunex wouldn't hold up but was surprised about the Milwaukee doing so well, it was fun making this video ... thank you for watching
Instant like for Van Halen
Thank you 🤙🤙🤙
Wow, this vid made my butthole pucker. I recently bought a harbor freight set (I'm an industrial maintenance mechanic apprentice) that I haven't even used yet. I just earlier today ordered the Mayhew 5 piece set because I realized that I don't want to trust mine or my work partner's safety to some chinesium
Mayhew is hard to beat and USA made ... thank you for watching
I was really disappointed in snap on. I've never personally been a fan of snap on pry bars as they don't have enough angle on the end my opinion of course
I never really used them much I prefer to grab my Mayhews lol
I personally don't like the big and bulky plastic handles
Sunex $20 bent Snap-On $280 bent. You will never buy 14 pry bars in a lifetime. That is the cost difference between Sunex & Snap-On.
The Mayhew did really well and that is USA made with life time warranty. I was some what surprised about the MIlwaukees tho ... But I agree thank you for watching
I have a mayhew in Australia it works great
I'm a big Mayhew fan good quality for a good price ... thank you for watching
I'd like to see a head to head test of the Wilde and Mayhew pry bars.
That would be a awesome head to head ... thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage you're welcome.
Mayhew for the win. Usa made
FACT Love my Mayhew stuff ... thank you for watching
Thanks for the test, but man - it was dangerous. If only one of multiple things went wrong you could end up with a prybar (or some metal parts) flying directly at you at high velocity.
I'm sure it's not osha approved 🤣🤣🤣
With that extender on the torque wrench your torque numbers are way off. Snap on torque wrenches have a calculation you can add to them for the amount of extension you use or you can do the math.
You are right but doing the same thing to all of them still makes for a pretty decent comparison ... thank you for watching
Mayhew for the win, I don't know people buy other brands at all, you should get some Lang pry bars next
if I ever do another video like this I may do that Anthony ... thank you for watching
If you want a Lang pry bar just go to Walmart and the USA made hyper tough
@@humanresource9659 made by wilde
I was expecting a Snap-off tbh 😂
This test was an eye opener for myself LOL I only own Mayhew and Milwaukee pry bars now LOL ... thank you for watching
I have noticed that Snap on prybars to be a bit floppy.
I have an old pry bar I'd like to torture test. I bought it off the tool sale truck (Cummins) 20 years ago. I'd have to get a 3/4" torque wrench in order to do it though lol. Awesome test that you did.
Thank you for putting this video together. The design of the Milwaukee is interesting, it could break your torque wrench. To bad with Snap On, I thought they would have been better made. Will you be checking your calibration of your torque after it recent session? Be Well Darren
I figured the Snap-on would've done better to be honest with you but it shows the size of the shank is what counts. Yes I'm going to check on the calibration of the torque wrench
@@CountryMileGarage My wifey says the same thing.
You can make a decent pry bar out of an old 70's leaf spring for odds and ends. My bars are all Proto with that monster yellow screwdriver handle. I use a couple leaf springs at the sawmill I cut with my plasma so as not to get'em hot.
@@ratchetwise440 my wife says the same thing 🤣🤣🤣 ... never used a leaf spring for a pry bar but it makes sense. Thank you for watching
So Finish it. Milwaukee vs Mayhew. 200-250 ? Gidder did !
thank you for watching
Mayhew has produced prybars , punches and chisels for the big three (Mac, Matco, SnapOn) over the years. Great company here in America.
I'm a BIG fan of Mayhew good quality for a good price ... thank you for watching
This test is only a relative comparison. Since a torque wrench reading is from the center of the handle to the anval, any thing after that is multiplied leverage unmesseured by the torque wrench so the reading of 170 foot pounds could have actually been more like 600 foot pounds for all we know.
How about you do a video that you consider the correct way. I never claimed this was a perfect scientific way of testing it. But it does show a difference in pry bars and it was a fun video for me to make ... thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage
My point was all of the pry bars you tested took way more to bend than the force your torque wrench was measuring.
They all held up pretty well under a bigger load than they would face under normal conditions.
i thought u we’re gonna get summer teeth with that technique
LOL I survived ... thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage thanks for the video, picked up a mayhew set because of it
@@Bwup been running mine for over 3 years and 0 complaints absolutely love them. Glad I could help and once again thank you for watching
I have the 3 piece mayhew set with black/orange grips. Its a really solid set. Ive only had harbor freight prybars before that. The grip on the snap-on looks autistic as is the price so thats why i didnt go with that. I figured the matco is probably a mayhew anyway so saved the money
Lol I fully agree with you that's why I love Mayhew myself best bang for your buck and best quality and yes Matco and Cornwell and Mac are rebranded Mayhew
@@CountryMileGarage yeah figured as much. I can see why i mean its good stuff
New Subscriber....Who makes S-0 pry bars?
Snap-on makes their own pry bars ... the set has been traded in for a nice Snap-on ratchet LOL ... thank you for watching
Was I the only person scared they were going to snap and stab the guy
Small sacrifice for science right LOL ... thank you for watching
i just wanna know if Snap is worth it and why .. ya know what i mean?
I think the Snap-on pry bars are not worth it. After this test ( the why ) I sold them, if you want USA made and quality I'd go for Mayhew. Personally I don't care for the big plastic handles either. Thank you for watching
Milwaukee
Thank you for watching
6:48 snapOn 💀
thank you for watching
the failure point is gonna be the handle
On a full tang or with a striking cap I don't know if the handle is going to be the failure point but otherwise I would agree with you ... thank you for watching
Do you if I share this to my mechanic friends on Facebook ??
Go right on ahead share away lol
To me the Milwaukee see the strongest and it flex back to original form Mayhew is great and USA made but Milwaukee win because the design
I agree i do like the I beam design of the milwaukee
👍ℹ️
Thank you for watching
It was my pleasure.
What? No Husky?
Sorry no Husky lol maybe next time ??? Thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage thanks for sharing 👍
The Milwaukee's worry me because they say they will not bend, so what will happen when they reach their yield point??? They only other thing that can happen besides bending is breaking, so how will they break will they shatter or just snap or??? They all seem like worse options them merely bending
I don't know on the Milwaukee's but I have no intentions of finding out lol. The Mayhew's are still to this day my favorites. Thank you for watching
Me and the guy I worked with both snapped the ends off of our Milwaukee pry bars under routine use. I was able to grind it down and still use it but it snapped like glass and I wasn't even abusing it.
But snap on supposed to be the best
LOL nobody can be the best at everything imo ... thank you for watching
@@CountryMileGarage I know I was saying it because some have stuck in their heads that they are.
@@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147 I hear ya ... there plenty of other USA companies that make quality tools like Mayhew, Trusty-Cooke, Lisle, Wright just to name a few
@@CountryMileGarage I know I just just saying what they claim
Mayhew makes mens tools. Snap_on is for your Prius ;-) Shhhh. The Proto would have broken that F clamp ;-)
LOL ... thank you for watching
Your video is poorly made. Camera work isvery poor.
Then how about you show me how to do it and send money for better equipment. Ooo wait you never made a CZcams video and the only thing you are good at is running your mouth ... go back to your parents basement
