Tool Party has become one of my favorite Donut series. 10/10

As a young tradesman. I am currently working on building my tool arsenal and these reviews are kinda making my decisions somewhat rational! And probably saving me a lot of money. Thanks boys!

I personally got the ep auto wrench as a gift for my birthday and instantly though “wow what a cheap pos”. But 2 years later it’s still going strong and is still just as accurate after many drops!

For anyone wondering about the cheap wrench, it’s the best Amazon purchase i’ve ever made. I’ve been using it constantly for the better part of a year and it’s been great. Glad to know it’s been in spec this whole time :)

Most surprised to learn torque wrenches have a break-in period. Seems like something that would be handled at the factory during assembly and quality control.

After a few of these videos you can tell the chemistry between these guyshas gotten much better. They're much more comfortable clowning on each other. Great episode

[StanleyKubick]

these guys are great together. the whole crew is damn entertaining

[krinord]

Tip, use a ratchet strap or a snatchblock pulley system for the stress test so everyone can stay well clear of flying debris. Don't want you guys going blind, getting your teeth smashed etc

Feeling pretty good about going cheap on my last torque wrench last year with the EPAuto.

[RobertsMind]

Thank you for this. I am so glad I watched this before buying my next torque wrench. I have kids that help me in my shop and on my channel so your tests are more real world than you might think. lol. My youngest was standing on my 350 ftlb torque a while back when I was putting back on an axle nut. Keep the great, informative, and entertaining content coming. You all are awesome.

9:13, Click-type torque wrench (with a spring) needs to be "exercised" through its full range of settings after prolonged storage before use.

Should try Jack Stands, and Ramps. Also Ratchet straps, they are vital for when you transport your track car... or custom built offroader

Feel so bad for Henry and Jobe on this one man you could tell immediately how bad Zach felt afterwards man. Things like that happen in the gaaaraggee and it sucks but awesome y'all are such great friends. Couldn't imagine a better job than working with nothing but cool ass people man!

[GadgetAddict]

Disappointing performance from the snap on.

Yes it's more accurate but I wouldn't have expected it to break so easily.

Interesting tests at least 👍

[cloane]

Never would I imagine the cheapest torque wrench ended up being the best. Crazy.
I bet you anything these things become more expensive effective as of right now.

[iguess]

cheap to expensive portable air compressors would be cool. you have durability, max psi tests, stuff like that.

I luckily found y’all’s channel right when I started working on my truck. I had never changed oil before. Did it easily, working on the wiring my self and radiator. Need to get some tools as I have ALOT of work to do but it’s been fun and informative binge watching these and I got ideas on what to get thanks to y’all👌🏻 Thanks a lot!

[refreshing_ac]

I hope Henry is ok!
This video is great since torque wrenches are so important and I’m planning on buying one soon too! 😂 good to know I can get away with (and my even be better of with) a decent cheap one. Thanks guys!

8:00 You can tell they've been training their whole lives, *sometimes even twice a day*, for this moment
