Nice to see ya back on the tube buddy. Yeah, I got me one from hd too. By the way, if you're on fb, check out our group. facebook.com/groups/2287250558165442/
Great review and comparison bro. I do like how the Gearwrench set is compressed and doesn’t take up a lot of space. The Capri set is nice as well. Very heavy duty but it does seem large. Not that it’s a bad thing since most will probably put them on rails. Wish it had a non quick release ratchet but that’s just me personally. Great job keep it up
I have the gearwrench 3/8 120xp and the 1/4 90t socket sets and two husky brand mechanic tool sets the h149mts, and the h194 mts and the complete sae and metric shallow and deep well socket set including ratchet extension and the breaker bar in the lid by tekton is probably my favorite set other than the gearwrench mechanic tool sets.. because of the no skipping sizes
Excellent review. I was checking out the Astro 1/4 chrome swivel set, but the finish on the Capri one does seem nicer, and they actually have the sizes stamped instead of laser etched.
Both of these sets look good. I've been wanting to try out some Capri stuff for a while, but I've yet to wear out my 20 year old Craftsman mechanic set. 101 sockets crammed into a carry case is the ultimate in compact storage.
I like my tekton 3/8ths set. I never use standard (there is a set with standard though). 6mm to 24 mm with a 90 tooth quick release ratchet extensions and wobble for 75 bucks delivered
The case look similar to the one that came with the Capri 3/8 master impact socket set. The case is not as sturdy as it looks. One of the corner came off when I knocked the case over while rushing to clean up. The corners are held in place by plastic pins underneath the corner pieces. They snap into the holes in the main case. The plastic pins were slightly deformed so they don't fit as snug. So, every once in a while, the corner piece comes off. The case is still functional, i.e. the sockets are still protected. Just slightly inconvenient to have to snap the corner back on. I agree ... Tool Discounter's prices are very good.
That case is huge. And I hate when the skip any sockets. I agree that they should start at 6mm. And for the knurling, you can grip it with your fingers to spin it off by hand
Good post sir. I have the g.r. set 80550 don't get me wrong it's a fine set im just not in love with the standard sockets, there very shallow. My son loves it, im thinking about giving it to him. I do really like that adapter that makes a t-handle thats cool
I bought the Gearwrench metric and SAE reversible ratcheting wrench sets, but China-made. The 1/2" ratchet mechanism fell apart on its first use, fortunately I was able to warranty it. I've used the other wrenches and have had issues of the ratchet mechanism locking up. I won't buy anything else from Gearwrench. Capri being a California based company turns me off on sending any of my money to them. I've heard that Tekton tools are becoming the "Craftsman" of today as well. I have the 1/4" drive ratchet and socket set with shallow and deep sockets and no skipped sizes. I have used it many times with no issues.
Donald Hollums The Gearwrench warranty procedure is absolute rubbish. If you don’t have a distributor in your area with your exact tool you are looking to warranty, you are in for quite the process mailing them back to apex.. The tools are not all that great. Tekton are just okay. The ratchets are junk. The sockets- I have blown a few out with not a bunch of torque.. The warranty for Tekton is probably the easiest, and most convenient.. My favorite ratchet is the Craftsman extreme grip. I wish they made it longer, and with a flex head.. It’d be perfect!
Mike C great tips! I tried to return the two Gearwrench sets back to Advance Auto Parts for my dissatisfaction with the wrenches. I had my receipt, but the store clerk told me because the wrenches were only in the storage racks and not included with the open case they came in I couldn’t return the wrenches. I just said, “okay”. No more money for Gearwrench and no more money for Advance Auto Parts. I bought those wrench sets as Father’s Day gifts. The two Tekton sets were birthday gifts. I’ve used them, but not consistently enough to have any issues with them. Personally, I prefer not to order any tools from Amazon or places like that. If I got to warranty any of them, I’d rather go back to the store I bought them from.
mdlee52 I’d rather not have to warranty a tool at all. If your finding yourself constantly warrantying tools, I think it’s time to consider changing. I ordered this same exact 3/8” Gearwrench kit in your video here. Right out of the plastic wrapped box- the stubby ratchet is buggered.. Go to napa- they don’t have it, and they can’t get it. Grainger- Same thing. Call Gearwrench- they would “consider” warrantying it after I pay to send it to them, where they make a determination if it’s eligible for warranty. I’m slowly replacing my Tekton stuff with what I originally thought to have been better quality Gearwrench stuff.. Based on this warranty process/hassle- I think I need to re-evaluate that decision.. In my line of work I break stuff. I have literally TONS of tools. I have a barn with a complete SK mechanic set. I have a service truck with the suspension basically bottomed out with all the tools I have in it. I never like to say that I have “all” the tools I need, because everyday I find myself needing some other odd ball specialty tool. When I don’t have it, I try to make it- that’s how things get busted. I’ll admit that almost every tool I have personally broken- I was using it outside of its scope. Like- on the end of a long pipe perhaps.. But when stuff is defective right out of the box, coupled with them giving me a head time with getting it warrantied.. I’m gonna have to quit them.. Maybe stay with Tekton, and their crap ratchets..
Donald Hollums The Tekton sets are adequate for sure. I have a lot of Tekton tools. Them ratchets though!! My 3/8 ratchet changes direction on you if you even look at it the wrong way.. I actually took a 3/8 shittsburgh composite ratchet, and swapped the guts out into the Tekton ratchet. The parts are identical. The weak point in the Tekton are the retention springs. They are waaayyy too flimsy. Again, Tektons warranty process is probably one of the best in terms of their willingness to help swap your defective stuff out..
A lot of people talk bad about China craftsman. I started w the 108pc mechanic set in the plastic case. I’ve used and abused the shit outta that thing. Never broke a socket still have it today. It hasn’t had an easy life neither I live in Erie pa and there’s tons of rust here. Yes we’re in the rust belt and get hammered w lake effect snow. My first set of hex etc was the craftsman I’ve never broke any of those neither. I replaced it w the vim mms64 due to sizes missing I needed. The vim is far far better. The newer China ratchets suck ass but the sockets are great. For anyone starting out though it served me and still serves me well. Great vid lee 👍🏼👍🏼 I don’t like that Capri ratchet. Bearded Seabee has had the good Capri ratchets for a year and no issues best part they are cheap. I have a ton of stuff now but ya gotta start somewhere.
You do realize the rust belt refers to a social/economical reference and literally has nothing to do with "rust"? I take that back. It does have to do with the demise of old factories left to rust by being open to the elements...so I can see your comparison in those regards.
Great Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 One thing I find funny and you said it AND all most everyone say it when it comes to a socket set.. (it’s a good set to have in the car) as a professional mechanic I can’t think of one thing you’re going to be able to fix along side the road in the middle of no where broken down with your socket set in your car!! Think about it 🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOPE... Keep at your house and use your tools NOT in your car were you can’t use it along side the road with~~~~~~~~~~~ NO PARTS to fix it. Tow it home and fix it with your tools 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish they sold it by itself or as an extension/reducer set, I’ll keep looking! I’m content with my Geawrench set but maybe I’ll grab the Capri set too if the price goes back down 🤔
I like the Capri sliding T and the universal joint with screw than can be tightened. Don't like the ratchet and that metric starts with 10mm but seems like a really good deal for that price. The Gearwrench worth every $.
Correction: GearWrench today is where Craftsman was 45-50 years ago (not 20-25). During the early 1970s, craftsman tools were still made in the USA, their ratchets were fine tooth, wheel and their sockets were --v-- type. All the stuff today is made in China and its quality is generally poor. Nice review!
@Mister Myxlplyx Craftsman did have a "fine tooth" ratchet. Round head. Not teardrop. Don't remember how many teeth. Don't remember ever seeing them in any socket sets.
Great Review ! Sliding T in the Capri Set . Nice . Usually not in 3/8 Dr. Usually 1/2 or 3/4 Drive. Price And Where to get Replacement Sockets counts too.
Capri actually has non quick release ratchets that are lower profile and are much better than the one included in the kit. The Capri sockets sure look like Tekton to me. I've always liked the knurled bases on Gearwrench metric sockets. Capri's extension adapter is useful though. thanks for sharing,
Only thing Capri needs to do with that set is throw in their premium ratchet. The ratchet they have works, and has worked well since I’ve had my set, it’s just the only down fall in that set that I can see. Maybe including an 8mm deep would be beneficial as well, but just changing out the ratchet would make a world of difference. Although that big ratchet has a way better ‘hammer side’ than the Gearwrench. I do like that Gearwrench includes the stubby ratchet. That was always one of the reasons I liked that set when I had it.
Does the pearhead fit inside the case in the ratchet spot? That would be cool if they expanded those ratchet to have other handles. Its like a williams priced fine tooth ratchet.
You mentioned the Duralast set sold by Autozone, isn't Duralast made by the exact same manufacturing vendor that makes Husky for Home Depot. .......Also Home Depot is an authorized Capri Tools dealer, but they don't have them in the Home Depot store, Home Depot sells Capri through there website, but you can get free shipping and pick up at a Home Depot store.
Good points. I can't tell whether or not the Gearwrench, Husky, Silver Eagle, and/or Duralast sets are made at the same facility. I do know that the first three sets I just listed are closely related, however. I may not have mentioned it in this video, but I have mentioned in other videos that Capri tools can be bought through Home Depot's website. I think any of the brands I just mentioned would be very good choices for a DIY ER. I would probably just end up going with whatever I could get the best deal on. Other people in the comment section have mentioned Tekton... I think that's another good choice. Thanks for your comment.
Great video thanks brother. I like the review and comparison. I like Capri tools have no gear wrench tools yet. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
I like capri just got some hex and torx sets there awesome but gearwrench win this lots of good order online companys now days just gotta shop around and find the best fit cant go wrong with either
@@mdlee52 yes it does. When I was a newbee didnt matter now that I do more mechanics it sure does matter to have a nice complete set Sae/mm shallow and deep also some impact sockets
I bought the same gearwrench sets for the same deal and it's been a year or so but the sockets I use the most the crome is chipping off besides that they r great but shitty crome
Don't buy Capri tools from Amazon. They're a complete rip off. Buy them straight from the manufacturer and they're cheaper than what Amazon usually has them for and you get free shipping anyway.
That Capri set is available at Home Depot for $35.99 great buy. The markings on the GearWrench sockets is terrible, very hard to read. The Capri makings are much better.
Tim are they instock? I purchased it but our group 'online tool community' on facebook has a couple peoplee including me that cant find it instock to ship.
@@Toyotas_n__Tools I checked as I got my set over a month ago and Home Depot is out of stock and this was a clearance item at the time, so not sure if they will get them back in stock.
@@timmckusker Oh ok thanks, yeah same here got mine back then also, snooze you loose =). Ps Cute pup I got some videos upload for my goldenpyre, hes 11 months and getting almost 100lbs!!
Those tools look on used I cannot take you to review seriously from a guy that does not use his tools I mean what are you are you in some kind of break room there
Bikes Cars & Guns You are right Bob he did have them for a year and a half and I don’t know what he’s talking about that the tools are used in my toolbox there is some rust in there
Both made in Taiwan? Probably same factory. Gear Wrench 1/2" drive cr-mo impacts that are "made in china" are worthless, they break like glass. Kinda bothers me now a days to hear someone say "Gear wrench makes" or "husky makes" or "pittsburgh makes", None of those companies make ANYTHING, the 100+ companies just find the ~30 suppliers and put their brand on them. It seems more accurate to say "Gearwrench rebrands good source tools for the most part" or "Matco rebrands good tools".
I do not agree w gearwrench being the new craftsman. Go ahead and call them to try a warranty claim. I got denied on a brand new wrench. Took it to sears yes we still have one I needed my receipt. I do not save receipts never had to for ANY other tool. They say call them so I did the lady said sorry sir we can’t help you. From that day forward I’ll never buy gearwrench again. Now that was my experience not everyone’s is the same. Moral of my story vid you buy it watch yourself. ESP when buying it offline you’re screwed.
I've had two warranty to gearwrench wrenches within the last 18 months. One was warrantied through Napa, the other one directly through gearwrench. Neither warranty claim posed any problem.
That case is huge. And I hate when the skip any sockets. I agree that they should start at 6mm. And for the knurling, you can grip it with your fingers to spin it off by hand

+1 for the Gear Wrench set! I have had one for years and it is excellent quality.

That Capri case sold me. I fast forwarded to that part lol
Tekton 3/8” 74 pc. Call it a day.
I really like the Tekton kits too, no missing sizes and shallow and deep all in the same case.
Those look like great options.
Consider the Capri Tools CP128MX Master Mechanics Tools Set, 128-Piece as well. It is really nice as well.
Good post sir. I have the g.r. set 80550 don't get me wrong it's a fine set im just not in love with the standard sockets, there very shallow. My son loves it, im thinking about giving it to him. I do really like that adapter that makes a t-handle thats cool

That tbar set up is slick. Too bad it’s a couple years later and it’s about $150
I like the design that allows a breaker bar/T bar/ an adapter. Pretty cool.
I'm guessing they're not the first company to do that, but I have never seen that before.
I'm saying with it acting as a reducer and all the little extras.

Never seen a extension/breakerbar combo before....
Gearwrench looks way better & very nice small very compact total package
Feast your eyes and fantasize! 😂😂
You know what it is.
Plus on gearwrench you can't take to napa to replace Capri you have to wait I will have to try out Capri one day to put it to the test
Definitely a more immediate process.
I like capri just got some hex and torx sets there awesome but gearwrench win this lots of good order online companys now days just gotta shop around and find the best fit cant go wrong with either
13/16 is the spark plugs socket
Tekton.....no skips
Im tryna up grade from my harbor freights 3/8 set. Do you think Ill notice a big difference switching to gear wrench?
Honestly, they'll all work. The main difference is the lack of skips in these two sets. It's nice to have complete sets, even if you're not a pro.
@@mdlee52 yes it does. When I was a newbee didnt matter now that I do more mechanics it sure does matter to have a nice complete set Sae/mm shallow and deep also some impact sockets

Thanks buddy.
how much is that table though? it looks nice.
You can't afford it.
Good god for $36 I'd be on that Capri set twice over. Can it still be had for that ???
I think the price went back up to $119.
I got the teckton no skips
those are nice
I bought the same gearwrench sets for the same deal and it's been a year or so but the sockets I use the most the crome is chipping off besides that they r great but shitty crome
Do you buy these to do your review then send them back? Never seen you use any tools.
Nope, I buy them and use them.

Better sizes and stubby ratchet. I'd buy the gearwrench set myself

½ the cost
Better case
Better finish
Better features

Those tools look on used I cannot take you to review seriously from a guy that does not use his tools I mean what are you are you in some kind of break room there
All of your tools in your tool box tour were full Kinsey condition.
JUSTIN STURGILL TRUCKING i know right had them for 1.5 yrs look new
Bikes Cars & Guns You are right Bob he did have them for a year and a half and I don’t know what he’s talking about that the tools are used in my toolbox there is some rust in there
Stop hating Justin
Well a good quality socket set that's been taken care of will look new years later with heavy use.
Home Depot has the Capri set on clearance as i write this for $35.99
I don't think it'll actually let you check out with them, though. Tried earlier today, believe me!
Was able to order one today.
Both made in Taiwan? Probably same factory. Gear Wrench 1/2" drive cr-mo impacts that are "made in china" are worthless, they break like glass. Kinda bothers me now a days to hear someone say "Gear wrench makes" or "husky makes" or "pittsburgh makes", None of those companies make ANYTHING, the 100+ companies just find the ~30 suppliers and put their brand on them. It seems more accurate to say "Gearwrench rebrands good source tools for the most part" or "Matco rebrands good tools".
Both Taiwanese. I'm thinking different manufacturers.
I do not agree w gearwrench being the new craftsman. Go ahead and call them to try a warranty claim. I got denied on a brand new wrench. Took it to sears yes we still have one I needed my receipt. I do not save receipts never had to for ANY other tool. They say call them so I did the lady said sorry sir we can’t help you. From that day forward I’ll never buy gearwrench again. Now that was my experience not everyone’s is the same. Moral of my story vid you buy it watch yourself. ESP when buying it offline you’re screwed.
I've had two warranty to gearwrench wrenches within the last 18 months. One was warrantied through Napa, the other one directly through gearwrench. Neither warranty claim posed any problem.
mdlee52 really I did not have that experience. I’m glad yours was different.
ya whatever. 😁
Yo Dave!
Holy shit you're white ,I never knew that

That case is huge. And I hate when the skip any sockets. I agree that they should start at 6mm. And for the knurling, you can grip it with your fingers to spin it off by hand
