Watching again after years of stress-free repairs. This video was a game changer in my shop. The 3/8" Extendable Ratchet is my go to tool for all oil changes and tough spark plug jobs. You sir are a blessing. You also got me into Milwaukee power tools. Thank you so much. This video is 100% solid. Buy these tools and work stress free.

That 3/8 extended ratchet is a tool sent from God !! Man I don’t even need a swivel sometimes with it

[nomadrninet]

if you ever have the money, get the milwauke m12 fuel 1/4 impact. It's an amazing tool.

Or as the drill sergeant taught us, “This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fightin’, this is for fun”. I appreciate your work—-without you, my 4 old paid-for cars wouldn’t work!

I love my flex head ratchets. Mine are a little different (they swivel in the centre and can become like a straight vertical screw driver), but same idea in that they work with different angles. Well worth what I paid.

I'm always surprised when folks complain about the torque of that ratchet. Power ratchets are not for breaking or tightening, you do those by hand, with the power mostly for running bolts/nuts up and down quickly. They are not impact driven (i.e. which would remove the reaction from your hands) as is that nut driver, so it would be a knuckle buster if the torque were any higher. I agree with that extendable flex head ratchet, use mine a lot, only switching to the regular ratchets when there are space constraints, like, master cylinders and under dash work. Almost never have to switch to 1/2 drive ratchet even on larger suspension bolts, axle nuts, now that's another story.

One of the most recent tools I bought... not spectacular but has proven to be amazingly useful... 600mm breaker bar for 1/2" drive sockets... bought to assist in fitting an emove to a caravan, but has been used lots since.

My milwaukee rachet driver is the best damed tool I've ever owned, love it

[TheWwong]

You are spot on about the newer EZ Red ratcheting wrenches...….have already had to replace the swivel head locking mechanism after very light use. Thanks for posting.

You have your sockets upside down in your socket organizer. It seems counterintuitive but they fit better the other way. Took me a while to realize this myself. Not only do they fit better, but you will find it really handy when you are done with the socket to just place your ratchet head over the spot on the organizer and push the button to release the socket right down onto the stem.

I got a chicago electric hammer drill from harbor freight and i have put that thing through the ringer with loads of concrete work and still going strong. Was unexpectedly impressed with it for the cost. Other than harbor freights central pneumatic accesories i havent had any problems. Ill be going with high dollar brands a lot less from here on.

Metric and 'standard'... made chuckle.

Thanks for sharing.

He is like a more detailed version of Scotty Kilmer. While Scotty just tells you the results, this guy is a bit more detail oriented. Both are very practical and really think about automobiles in owner terms.

M12 ratchet is the best gen1. The gen 2 fuel is just to big, something inside of me wanted but when I compare it side by side, is hard to choose.is just Less versatile in tight spaces.

Impact wrench is, hands down, the best tool I bought for auto work. I stopped stripping the heads off bolts and immensely reduced my work time because I wasn't taking an hour trying to undo a stuck fastener. When I got one I was like, "Why didn't I get one of these months ago?"

[Joes_Channel]

I just ordered the Extendable 3/8" Ratchet with a flex head thanks to your video. That's a highly needed tool for any DIYer. I already have the Milwaukee 3/8" ratchet is a nice tool to have, for engine work and all of the above, I got mine off Amazon in separate orders too, 35 bucks for 2 batteries/charger and 95 bucks for the bare tool and I agree it's torque is lack luster, but then again I didn't buy it for its torque power I got it for convenience. That My 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 impacts couldn't get too.

I see the new garage is working out well. My go to tool is my 24 inch breaker bar on my ' 05 Altima up here in Toronto. Lots of salt on those winter roads= frozen bolts.
