Good to know

I see them on the Mac truck and I really like my snappy t72's f80's and s80's but I'm curious about the push button flush fit flex head on the Mac axis they're very enticing.

Anyone have any experience with the new Mac 90 tooth ratchets. What are you thoughts good and bad

Every Mac socket set on the truck that come to my shop is made in the USA. The expert line is made in Taiwan. Also proto facom and Mac use the same forgings their wrenches come in the same clam shell case it's all over priced Stanley stuff imho. Facoms "Expert" line sold on the Mac truck is the...

This is too funny

I have a set of knipex cobras. I suggested to a friend that he should buy some and he told me they were a gimmick and he would rather have channellocks. Tell me you guys thoughts. Knipex the perfect pliers; or a gimmick? I have experience with both but currently own just the knipex

As a tool &gun collector it is not lost on me that ever manufacturer puts out a lemon from time to time. I didn't start this thread to bash a brand or hold a brand up on a pedestal; only to share my experience with this particular product

I too use marvel mystery oil, I don't know if the head was out of spec but I'll be getting rid of it it's been nothing but a head ache. The snap ring doesn't move at all the plat sits firm with snap ring in solace it just likes to shear teeth I can't explain how it does this. The matco guy is at...

I just rebuilt it today and I'm selling it. It's gonna be someone else's problem

It is not even the ratchet I run the hardest. I have a facom expert 1/4 that I literally beat the living **** out of have done so for years no problems

Yes it loses patches of teet at a time until it just free spins constantly

I've been a body technician for a decade and this is the only ratchet that I had had this much trouble with it just runs the gear down to nothing. Nothing really torqued that high somewhere in the ballpark of 15-40 foot pounds my dual 80s fit anywhere with love pro sockets and my Mac axis fit...

So I needed a long handled 1/4 flex head ratchet my Mac guy and snap on guy are a few days out so I took a gander on the matco truck. I found what I needed and it worked problem is if had it two months and it's been rebuilt 3 times. Has anyone else had a problem out of matco ratchets?

I got a snap on dual 80 set and two Facom EXPERT set their decent enough the snappys are my favorite though

Honestly since you can rebuild the snap on ratchet wrenches I think they are best.

The black hyper tough stuff is just a really bad paint. I The ratchet I bought was black the paint came right off when exposed to brake fluid. Also the new facom ratchets are made in Taiwan but there quality ratchets. The hyper tough is made in China and it shows. Like I said they tried to copy...

I spent $6 on a ratchet, for shingles. Took it apart, and it's junk. Built just like a Pittsburgh pro, same innards. The took a look at a FACOM ratchet and said yea we can do that. And some how fucked it up

When Makita introduced there lxt line the first gen weren't 🌟 rated the 2nd gen batteries are it's something in the computer not the batteries. When I say noone beats their batteries I mean nobody has batteries that last as long and are as durable imho. Anden I said new tech I'm talking about...

In a time of piss poor quality from Mac tools. I'll stick to the expert line. In my experience it's been more reliable and of better quality

Milwaukee is typically later to the game on new ideas so the have more time to hone their products but Makita is my go to every day. Nobody beats Makita on batteries. On another note Makita builds their power tools in Buford, Georgia. Milwaukee is made in Hong Kong on the same factory floor as...
