Great information brother, not a lot of guys/mechanics would “not”recommend items from the holy grail brand. But glad someone is providing real world feedback.

Can confirm... Snap-On soldering iron is junk. Had mine for 6 months and one day it just wouldn't light. No gas was coming out at all. Had spark but no gas. Sent it in for warranty. I tried the iron tip but found the open flame works way better for soldering. I mainly used it with the heated air tip for heat shrink tube which it was great for

I bought the Snap On solder iron also. Thought it sucked. Told me dealer. He gave me whole new kit and said they this one and I have to say it works like a charm. Get way hotter than first one I bought. Possible quality control issue. I know it's made for snap on by portalsol. But bang for the buck agree the capri and the powerprobe at half the price are the way to go

My childhood French teacher once showed me her tattooed numbers from a German concentratuon camp and said, "Never, ever let some one mark you".

I got the Snap-On locking wobble extensions, my favorite for wobble extensions. But the price is kinda high.

The extra long ball hex are good for very particular jobs, fuel tank straps on a 2023 freightliner those things have saved me

Agree about the wobble-plus, but I do like the 1/4" regular wobble extensions.
I went to Knipex for snap-ring pliers, like them much better than those Snap-on.

The snap On soldering iron is trash just like you said does get hot enough and constantly needs to be refilled.

[pyrojunkie]

I have a set of snapon snapring shit wish I never wasted my money

Speaking of Capri.. did I see your name on the front of this months. Capri ad? Lol how’d that come about?

Agree with the wobble plus. It’s a pain in the ass when you want the wobble feature and it decides to snap into the straight position. I’d rather get regular extension sets and one or two locking wobble extensions


Not a huge fan of the stubby bluepoint hex/torx sockets. They seem a bit soft.

I have that soldering iron too... can't stand it man, too inconsistent and really doesn't get that hot. Probably going to end up buying the milwaukee iron, more consistency from the electricity and it will heat up much faster, i also like how the milwaukee can flex and the tip seems longer.

I like wobble but not wobble plus..got that belt tool to from Matco, haven't used it enough to say I hate it, but give it time 😂..got the Matco rechargeable solder iron seems ok, but I am sure for smaller wires..probably not super hot..always nice to hear opinions on tools ..Thanks.

I think the only tool I ever really hated was a Snap-on 14v screwdriver. I got it as an apprentice toolkit. Sold it on eBay and bought a Mac 12v that i absolutely love.

[masonjenkins]

The wobble plus is great in 1/4 drive but 3/8 is trash

[ryanalexander]

I have that stretch belt tool and the soldering iron, both are absolute hot garbage. To be fair I’ve only tried the belt tool on air compressors on school busses. Probably not meant for that style of pulley. But that snap on soldering tool is up their with the old snap on vise grip pliers. Terrible tools.

[LethalDentCompany]

I bought some Mac scrapers that really suck. They looked ole they would be good but nah.

[jasonweishaupt]

Good show! And Amerkans need to stop with the tats.

[redneckrules]

Wobble plus doesn't give me enough wobble sometimes, but does stay in the locked place for me. The retaining clip pliers I've been looking at, they work for what I need, but I feel like there's gotta be a better design. My puck lights need a replacement, cas well as my pwz, anyone wanna trade me for a knipex cobra?

[TalkinTools]

Never used one but ever heard tons of ppl say the zip tie trick is better than that belt tool lol
