Hey Everybody - In response to a LOT of comments & messages after the last video (SK vs Snap on vs WrightGRIP) asking about the strength of the box end & specifically "would it shear the head off of the grade 8 bolt, or would it fail).....I decided to make a video to find out. Check it...

Hey everybody - Now that SK is finally shipping the new X-frame wrenches, I got the SAE set in & decided to see how the open end would perform compared to the WrightGRIP & Flank Drive+. As we all know from previous testing, almost all wrenches fail (deform and/or round off corners) where the...

Hey everybody :) I made a video yesterday highlighting the advantages/disadvantages of pneumatic impact wrenches & cordless impact wrenches. I hope that it will help people (especially new techs), choose the best route when it comes to investing in a tool lineup that will help them make a...

Hey everybody - I put together a video proving that extensions, adapters, and universal joints do in fact cause the torque being applied to a fastener to drop....and sometimes very significantly. Many people think that just because their impact wrench is rated at 1,000 ft-lbs, then it always...

Something that I am noticing more & more on this forum are trolls leaving angry/inappropriate/non-beneficial tags to other member's threads. The sole reason that this is occurring is that anyone can anonymously tag any & every thread with no recourse. I enjoy GarageJournal because of the...

Hey everybody :) I just posted a video about the Wilton ATV (All Terrain) Vise & thought it would be a good option for those who are not always near a bench mount vise in the shop. They designed it to attach to any standard 2" receiver (trailer hitch or bracket) & you can literally have it on...

Hey everybody :) Today I posted my review for the Mini-Ductor II.....which is a safer and very effective alternative to a torch when you need to heat up a nut, bolt, or other piece of ferrous metal quickly. It can literally heat a bolt up "red hot" in seconds --- with no flame! They designed...
