thanks for adding the vintage wrench in. it goes to show the saying they dont make em like they used to,

[stronkde]

It pained me to see the vintage USA Craftsman be tested to failure because it's the best and also no longer available. I'll have a drink in its honor, and we appreciate its sacrifice for this test.

"Works with both standard and metric fasteners." 🤣 You almost managed to say it without laughing. Absolutely hilarious. Great video as always.

I have been a mechanic for over 45 years and have tried almost every tool imaginable. I have to say that i still own vintage Craftsman tools and they are still performing well. i did take the plunge and purchase many Snap On and Mac tools throughout the years and they do look pretty and are very good as well but seem a little slippery when hands have any oil or grease on them. craftsman always had that rough finish from forging and were not near as slippery. Seat of the pants daily use of these tools allows me to feel the quality difference. Those China tools are knuckle busters and pros do not use them...well, shouldn't use them lol. Great video!

Dude your tests are absolutely amazing!

Let’s all shed a tear for what Craftsman used to be. The made in USA stuff was great, shame on Sears for sending it all to China.

I knew 0.75 mm was average. YES!!!

I love this channel because he tests things that we actually care about and need to know. It also proves cheap doesn’t always mean trash.

I would have been tempted to leave the vintage Craftsman out of that last (breaking) test. Watching that wrench break made me sad. But it seems I need a new adjustable wrench, so Crescent it is.
Thanks once again for your work

I love the giggle as he reads "works with both SAE and Metric bolts" lol

In my opinion, Project Farm features the best content on YouTube. It’s informative, it has integrity, extremely useful information, objectivity and even humor. He’s really nailed the ideal format. As a handyman hobbyist, there is no channel I look forward to viewing more than this one on all of YouTube.

I had no idea that Spain was an adjustable wrench superpower.

I bought a set of BAHCO adjustables (and pliers) about 40 years ago, still working fine, v little play, holds the adjustment, AND, the screw adjuster doesn't protrude so that when you put the tool down on the bench it doesn't get knocked out of adjustment - a very useful feature.

As an engineering student your testing consistently impresses me. It’s always extremely through, accurate, and tells me exactly what I want to know. The first thing I do before buying a product is check to see if you’ve done a showdown, keep up the great work!!

[felixperez]

I’ve got to take my hat off to you. The amount of thought that goes into keeping these tests fair is amazing. You not only test fairly, but you test thoroughly.
I don’t use 90% of the things you test, but it’s a pleasure watching you do what you do.

[scienceisfun]

I love your data and your methods, sir. I am a medical researcher and grew up on a farm/still do side work for friends so this is satisfying on a variety of levels

[andrewpm]

Time and time again one of the best informative and thorough review channels out there. Thank you for all your hard work and time.

[danielmoore]

This guy's work is incredible. Everything he does is thorough and non-biased. The top reviewer on YouTube. Every time I go to buy something, I check to see if it's been put to the test on his channel. I wish everyone on YouTube had this level of integrity. And it's not boring either. Perfect format.

[MiketheBassMan]

Just goes to show how serious the lifetime warranty on the old Craftsman tools was. You could bring any broken tool in for a free replacement in the store, no questions asked and no receipt required, so they had a vested interest in making tools you weren't going to break!

[Mrhvac]

You rock. I really think that you do a great job with your videos and provide super valuable information. I really do appreciate the time and effort that I know you must put into these. Thank you.
