RATCHETS & SOCKETS 101

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RATCHETS & SOCKETS

[Janon]

2024 and this is the best, no bs video I’ve found explaining this stuff. Thanks bro

I was skeptical of a 36 minute video. Thinking this is just ridiculous, too many YouTubers with worthless commentary trying to be funny with bloopers. But MAN 36 mins later I am completely thankful for your knowledge! This is incredibly well done - thanks so much!

This is an older video but jesus, you explained this amazingly!!! I'm new with autmotive and we use sockets all the time. I've always wondered what purpose stubby sockets had (like, why not ONLY use longer ones) you killed it when you explained how they produce more torque

You should teach shop in high school. I've been using these tools for over 30 years and now I see I was often wrong. I always got the job done but often not efficiently. Great video

7 years later and ppl are still learning from your video. Thank you. If by some reason you read this, I’ll teach you something. If the word ends in er or est, you don’t put more or most in front of it. “Thicker“.. makes sense because it has 2 or fewer syllables. It’s redundant if someone says more thicker. I hope this helps someone:)

Great basic information that every newbie should learn. Excellent idea to do this. I wish every shop teacher would start with this video. Thank you for putting this together!

I'm very new to cars and very keen to work on my own first car and this video has helped me learn a lot about ratchets and sockets. thank you so much!

Every father in America should sit his son down and make him watch this video. Well done sir!

[dunstonmunson]

This was exactly what I needed was a basic class on this stuff. I'm starting to learn to work on my own car and I am at a very basic level.

Thank you! My late husband was a heavy equipment & truck and coach mechanic and I’ve been sorting through his tool box and my garage full of tools to ensoure his box is organized and fully equipped for sale. I would never have any need for most of his work tools and I want the work space cleared up. I have a pretty extensive tool set up in the garage for home repairs, furniture up cycling/flipping.. that sort of stuff. I really wasn’t too sure about the many variation of sockets and adaptors, etc and your vid helped clear it up for me…so very much appreciated the info.

Thank You for answering my questions on what the difference is on size of sockets and ratchets

[danielcoyle]

This is by far the best video I've seen! all the rest just gets to the point and can leaves you a bit confused but this explains everything down to the last point, very good video🖒

Excellent video. I am lucky as my dad was a mechanical and electrical engineer, plus woodworker and worked on cars, so after he passed away, he left me all his tools, and I have been learning how to use them like the Torque Wrench that I have to use for changing my lawn mower blades which require specific tightening torque force. He had so many weird sockets, some of them look like there are from Aliens or sci-fi movies, but little by little I have learned what they are for. Again, thank you so much for such great teaching video.

36 mintue video with 36 minutes of information and good information as well . subscribed

Terrific video, man! 💯 I really appreciated your commentary about 6 pt. versus 12 pt. sockets; those darn 12 pt. sockets will strip a tight/rusty fastener quicker than anything else. They’re “nut rounders” for sure. It makes you wonder why tool companies even make 12 pt. sockets at all, especially in the big sizes. Cheers!

[dggd]

Much appreciation for this very valuable, clear and concise information. Thank you.

[shaypatel]

Brilliant Explaination, good video from start to finish. Good reasons given why to use each type of socket. Thank you.

[dyingpentas]

I'm a newbie and I found this tremendously helpful! Thanks!

[howardbecdove]

That was so well explained, and I learnt a lot.
You also helped me decide which size wrench to buy.
Thank you so much for your time.

I’m going to save your video. In 10 years my son will see this and understand all the basics. Great video.
