What do you think about Capri Tools offerings? I have to say I am impressed.
Brain had to unsubscribe due to I posted a ? And it was deleted with in minutes posted it 3 times deleted 3 times ... ? Was when are you going to post the video of the snap on vs the icon toolbox ... have a good one
@@whittgilbert2554 not sure why man unless a moderator is deleting the comments because i dont delete them will check tonight when i try to go live. Sorry to hear you unsubscribed but to answer your question in the next couple of weeks i will be doing it and taking the box around to other mechanics even youtubers to get a full review on the box
Good video bro and I think a solid 2 weeks of using daily all day woul give someone a good idea of have the ratchet works definetly enough time to see any flaws and then move to the next tool
I'm about to order their Slim line wrenches.
Capri Tools Dead Blow Ball Peen Hammer, 56 oz www.amazon.com/dp/B07JL9328W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8rDWDb8TYYH9W
I use this everyday at work has held up perfectly is nicely weighted.
Works good for getting those tie rod ends unseated.
That right there is why I like this channel. You dont make videos to fill your pockets with ad money and free stuff. Very admirable and I hope other channels follow your lead.
If my wife finds one more ratchet in the mail I’m gonna need a new place to live or invest in a P.O. Box🤨
I can definitely relate to that 😂. Hope everything is going well with you Pete.
I'm in the same boat. The P.O box sounds like a good idea.
@@shofan70 Mine all get delivered to the "ferreteria"= Hardware store. Wife thinks it's " stuff for the house" I claim the fifth... and drink one now and then
0:01 Hello Brian, I too am a recovering tool addict. My last relapse was this Sunday.
Don't need'em but got to have'em.👍
Saving up for my Christmas tool haul for that Capri ratchet set, looks nice
Respect your honesty up front man! These look pretty cool and Capri has been really intriguing last couple years. Great video!
I saw a video with Bearded Seabee torture testing one of the ratchets last week I think. Also noticed they're quite affordable. I dont abuse my tools but I was impressed at the quality.
The ratchets look good and are nicely priced, too. I have Capri's hex sockets. No complaints. Even like the packaging - doesn't take up a lot of space in the box and every socket can be seen with a glance.
Filling a cart with tools and donating it is an excellent idea. You're right; there are kids who can't afford the stuff. Why not help them out. Last year I gathered all the detailing supplies that accumilated over time, but aren't used anymore - abrasives, sealants, towels, chemicals - and donated a big box to a community college car club.
Capris are super nice!! I like their ratchets, ratcheting wrenches and color scheme! 😎
I only have one Capri tool it's a 6 point 15mm ratcheting wrench open on one end, I use that end to start the loosening and finish the tightening on the nuts of my beach cruiser, it's one of my fav tools.
I put some miles on my 3/8” Icon ratchet this past week and I am happy with the quality and smoothness. I don’t own anything Capri, yet.
If by the end of this you haven't said "smash that like button" you have yourself a new sub
Heck yeah for a lower tooth wrench im impressed, they look beefy.. Thanks for sharing them... Mad respect doin a give-a-way to a new student gettin in the field 👍👍
I have a lot of Capri tools I have the 1/2-inch flex head and it is beefy im waiting for the soft grip to come in. capri has great quality for the price im a customer for life
Just a tip, Snap-on uses Super Lube Synthetic lubricant in their ratchets. So when you reassembly the ratchets and clean them in the future you will have the same exact Syncolon® (PTFE) based lubricant that Snap-on uses in the factory. This lube is dielectric also so you won't have to keep two different products that do the same thing.
Bet you are a lot of fun at a party.
Strap on SELLS super lube...nonsense. Use a light gun oil and forget it. A ratchet is not a 3500 rpm transmission. It's more like a watch or gun.
Yes the oil no the grease
I’ve been considering these but have some Carlyle now. Due to my foolishness my 1/4” began locking up. Took it to my local Napa and they warrantied it on the spot. Capri’s “Original purchaser” warranty is understandable IMO but implies we need to keep receipts. The Carlyles have been the smallest heads I have found and when comparing the two look to be similar in price. Great to have all these Taiwan tools to choose from! Thanks for the great review and generosity.
I have the Capri 1/4 and 3/8 inch regular (non-flex head) ratchets. I like them. I also have a Capri 19mm combination wrench that I used during a ball joint job and it did very well. I was beating on it with a dead blow hammer and it didn't flex or slip. I am a fan of Capri tools so far. Oh, I also have their 1/4 wobble-plus extension set and it's good too.
Yo, signed up with Capri tools this morning. Thanks for the heads up. I wanted the 3/8 flex head and was going to grab it off Amazon but realized signing up with Capri myself I was going to get a way better deal. Thanks Bro.
Just got a set of Capri Double end box wrenches and they are awesome. Awesome quality for the price.
Capri do some good stuff, they really seem make effort picking best taiwan can offer and implement good design elements .
These ratchets really nice quality, they chose 72T for a reason, it best balance of strength and gives minimal chance of hassle on the single pawl setup .anything over 72T is getting into marketing number benefit rather than tool use benefit .
If you look at the swivel you also see besides all tolerance nicely done they have a recessed bore for a short tensioning spring which keeps joint under friction .
Seen these years ago mainly on swivel socket wrenches and it a good design concept .
For the money they real nice ratchets, way better than ICON swivel head ratchets
Capri bit sockets are another gem, I got 3 sets of those they that good .
this is one of the best ratchet comparison videos i've watched, thank you
Bless you for trying to donate tool sets! Good luck brother!
their impact sockets are awesome. if you are a new tech buy their sockets. i love the Pittsburgh pro flex head. been a MB tech for 26 years and I really wish these were around when I started out. do not waste any money on snap on
You have a great channel no explanation necessary that’s why we watch
So cool not many people are giving back to the traid
15% off is with promo code OCTSAVINGS good thru 10/31/2019 or until supplies last.
I just got my set in the mail, and love them already. I wish they would get rid of FedEX shipping. My package was ripped open and left on my porch in the rain. (Normal FeEx behavior in these parts.) Luckily there was no damage. I'll probably be getting their thin wrenches next.
Check out their welding clamps... i reviewed them a while back. They are BEASTS!
Not that it’s a big deal because I can easily find what I’m looking for on the website, but you got the product numbers a bit mixed up when you said them in the vid.
1/4” CP12100FX
3/8” CP12300FX
1/2” CP12500FX
I seen that and thats why i zoomed in on the 1/2 inch head to show the number was wrong lol. Thanks for pointing that out.
I have a few Capri items. Their combination wrenches are the same as Tekton. Capri has an excellent selection of bit sockets that are quite durable. I think the flex head ratchets are clones of Powerbuilt professional series.
Killin it brotha thanks for the heads up info on point if their tools function it's a steal of a deal with 5% cash back and student discounts as well keep the cameras rollin and keep droppin them things
Isn’t this the same guy who did the Earthquake XT powered ratchet for Harbor Freight video?
No secret of how much better capri is than icon
I have all six o the Capri ratchets and they are great! The prices are great too!
What I like best is that the flex is stiff and there of there own design do they have a locking flex head
SnapOn dual 80 ratchets are still the best ratchets In my opinion. Are they worth $150+ ? Maybe....maybe not. But they work, and they work very well.
well idk icon 90 tooth and there are harbor freights all over i actually really like icon just saying and i do have a few big brands but icon for the price is great
Review starts at 4:57.
LOL---I paused to calculate in my head how much of a percentage discount that was and then as soon as I started the video again you told me
The only tool I'm going to have to break down and buy a snap-on version of. . . because they're so much better. Locking or non-locking your choice with a flip of a button, and 3x teeth engaging when locked not some flimsy rotated stopper. The non-lock is an instant disqualification IMHO. Thanks for the review. Capri is just another TEKTON, they don't make anything they're a middle-man putting in orders with Taiwan factories just like Harbor Freight.
There are only a handful of companies who actually make tools
Notice you got the Braun light on the side of your box. Gonna be 18.99 on Black Friday and is (IMO) one of, if not the best, values at HF.
I agree with you there and I seen that! I may pick up another one for real.
@@RedemptionGarage I’m gonna get another, plus however many for coworkers that want one. Everyone is real impressed with it and even more surprised when I tell them it’s from HF.
Spent many years in the tool business most in California and NEVER heard of Capri Tools. I have to assume
They manufacture nothing and private brand everything they sell? Not necessarily a “bad” thing but just another
“ me too” entry into the already overcrowded tool market. I would have to imagine they can’t have much of a market
share.
I would say you're right as far as them not making tools themselves and I am not sure how long they've been around but I think for a few years. With there being only a few tool manufacturers most companies do the same thing though they just buy the tools withtheir name on it.
At 11:45 the switch is literally moving so much just from you using your fingers? I understand it's a single pawl design and the switch moves at times. But only when you are going very fast in ratcheting. You were barely twisting the drive head with your finger tips...
I noticed how janky that was too
If you were in Oregon I'd give you a 5 drawer tool cart right now. Someone gave me a basically brand new one a couple weeks ago. I have zero desire to use it or have a need for it. I don't want to trash it and would like to see someone who could use it take it off my hands
I appreciate that bro I am quite a bit away from Oregon lol but have always wanted to see the forests.
Good review Redemption garage great informative video
Do you have a link to the Tool box you gave away to that college?
where'd you go?
I don't know if you caught it at the end of your live stream last night, I know quite a few CZcams chanel are getting free stuff from astro tools and HTP welders, you should reach out to them and tell them about wanting to test tools then pass stuff along to students getting into the trades, both companies are making pretty good stuff.
Thanks for the heads up Tarek I did miss it man so I appreciate you coming back to tell me!
Hey man could you do a review on gearwrench wrench set. I’m a welding student about to go into the field and was wanting to see someone review gear wrench wrenches.
Great comparison, is icon coming out with the comfort handle ratchet?
👍🏻on the intro
Right on Man, thanks for sharing this.
How about these vs the Tekton flex head set?
Justin Dow would be proud👍👍👍
Capri is the shit man.i always buy capri tools i work in heavy duty mechanics ( peterbilt) and the tools hold up extremely fucking great. I love the tools. My matco rachet has broke 5 times on me where my capri has never needed replacing. Tool trucks are to expensive and quality isn't always there. Fuck icon and harbor freight tools those are emergency tools buy capri gentlemen.
Thanx awesome to hear, will order a 3/8" one to check it out. 👍
I like them. Do they come with a case Bryan
I was thinking about their ratcheting wrenches with the flex head. Can you review these?
I will definitely try to get them brother!
They are okay, but I am sticking with my Carlyle
I need to go pick some Carlyle ratchets up man
What if we bought online from carpri?
Cool video dude. I hate the videos your mate posts of him breaking ratchets. Its pointless and stupid. Glad you arent doing that dude 🤘😃
I'm not gonna lie as far as entertainment goes it is cool and you can learn a few things but its just not my thing right now. It definitely generates views though lol.
@@RedemptionGarage its probably does. People like seeing stuff destoyed. I on the other hand dont like see tools being destroyed just for fun.
@@RedemptionGarage all I learn from it is to not put a pipe on a ratchet and that anything can be broken if abused.
neville pretorius I am not a fan of busting tools either, because every tool can be broken if that is the intent. But it does filter out the weak ones in the industry. I would be more interested to see the procedure concerning warranty exchanges after the carnage.
Can u improve the strength of a ratchet by experimenting with heavier springs?
You could improve the detent of the switch by experimenting for sure.
Thank you for responding!!
Try watching him talk with the sound off, looks like he's telling you the biggest longest lie ever told
How would you rate the Capri vs the Icon ratchets?
They are similar honestly but with the whole 3/8 flex head ordeal I chose the Capri reatchets when I did my beginner tool video because of the quality and you can get them for cheaper than the ICON if you buy their deal they have 3 for 99 and 4 for 120 i think but that includes the 17 in half inch flex head ratchet a 3/8 and a 1/4 flex head. I am honestly impressed with Capri tools
1:30...👍nice
😎👍
The amazon link is women’s clothing
Is it really? I will check that out thanks for the heads up brother
I don't know why anyone would buy this garbage when an American made tool is almost the same price you can find American tools just look.
I was cool with the idea of buying these tools until you made me aware that they come from commiefornia! Thanks for the effort in the video but I would rather spend money on Texton , Grey pneumatic or Gearwrench.
