For anyone who doesn't understand what I meant mechanics fix broken mechanical problems daily and use tools to make a living using your tools to make a living is what makes you part of this trade.

I really like the Astro nano sockets! when you need them, you need them. Thanks for showing us the wrenches CP!

Great video, I used it today the Astro nano 14mm socket with my serpentine tool to swap the alternator belt on a 2000 Honda Accord 3.0L v6. Great ratcheting wrench to use with nano sockets too.

Thanks for the Astro update CP. 👍

Doesn't really matter what you're using to turn them. They're so shallow, that they absolutely will come in handy at some point. Especially with how tight engine bays & chassis are getting now.

I wish Astro still made that double sided ratcheting wrench

Missed you buddy! Hope everything is good. Loving the haul. I finally got my Mac guy it really happened. Now I need to get my gearwrench tab zeroed so I can start buying all Mac lol well glad to see you back

Ive got this set on order. As a diy/shade tree mechanic im excited to have these. I definitely could have used them in the past. Honda pilot/ mini van timing belts come to mind off hand. Those 14mm motor mount bolts are a pain.

I have the icon double box flex ones that are the same as the matco. I ordered the 21/22 and 24/25 from the matco guy for a ridiculous $215 but it's been 6 weeks and no sign of them. I'd really like that 21/22 for stuff I work on. Maybe it will show up someday.

I'd like to see a 1/4 nano set. I would buy that

Thanks for making the comparison!!

I have the nano love them I also have the matco witch look like your NAPA ones my goto is Astro because of the square head for the wrench especially for rear backing plates on F250,F350.

Cp again with the perfect timing. I just broke the 17 side of my ez red and been wanting a 22.

Cool sockets great video chad 👍🇨🇦

Very interesting 🧐 astro just dropped some new ratchets as well 🤘🏽

Nice like the comparisons FEED the addiction 🛠👍🏻👌toolz rule Whoooo!!!

You should do a review of the UVC light from SP TOOLS USA just ordered it coming this Friday!

Only a shady tree guy but I bought a 12mm socket similar to the Nano for one job that drives me nuts. Fan bolts on my 1991 Land Cruiser. The fan has to come off to do various jobs. Now I can get a ratchet spanner/socket in where nothing else would fit. I am still going to buy the reversible Mountain wrenches. I am paranoid about one day getting a ratchet wrench stuck!!

all the guys at my shop bought a set of mountain wrenches from our snap on dealer so we could get warranties, when we lose one we just buy a replacement from amazon but still have warranty lol. honestly all of us beat the hell out of mountain wrenches, especially on brakes and suspension bolts. works great and we have infinite replacements

Try the matco set i put some torque on it i only broke 1 in the past 4 years compared to ezred where the pins break

I wish you had my SNAP-ON double Flexhead Ratcheting Wrench Set when you just showed that comparison because the SNAP-ON Heads are quite thin inn profile especially with the Astro 17mm it appeared to seem just as slim as the Mountain Offset

CP I’ll buy those Mountains from you for the right price. Keep up the good work

They do make an extended set 6-24mm no skips: 78319

U ain't gonna break the mountains lol no worries I was busting 18mm suspension bolts with one today and it's fine, besides, lifetime warranty.

and what do you conside a real mechanical

You can get the Astro Tools 18" handle with the 17mm ratcheting head...if the short one doesn't do it for you...

Cp I think the length is a huge deal on those wrenchs bro. That’s part of what makes the mountain ones great. I’m with you on looking for those style wrench’s in more quality I think cornwell makes a version of the mountain wrenchs

Would you recommend the new quinn short impact sockets that copy the capri?

So happy this popped up lol. Amazon is better than the tool truck as far as time to get what you want.

Dude I use the icon double sided ratchet wrenches I love them

Haha you got up on that camera in the beginning! Newbs need some training. Lol 😂

I guess I don't see the advantage of putting the socket in the wrench. Wouldn't a wrench work in a tighter area without the added length of the socket?

is it possible to take the head off the astro wrench and put it on the longer mountain wrench handles?

I'm tempted to get the hazet 9023m-1 - mini multifunctional air to use the Astros on. Thoughts?

I work for dodge jeep and Chrysler artioli dealership in Enfield ct

I must be a noob. Lol I can see its going to pinch my ratchet leave to grab a reversible forget what I left for go back and pitch the ratchet. To be fair its usually with my electric ratchet.

Throw the mountains away to me 😆

Do you know who is manufacturing the Carlyle brand? I know NAPA has a relationship with Stanley and Apex tools.

I gotta find that Astro wrench.

Where are these at? Seems they are out of stock everywhere. Is there an alternative?

Do those nano sockets hold up to high torque if so I need to get a set

The spline drive is not the problem. Problem is when those $5 technicians over torque a bolt or some one didnt antisieze about that tends to rust.

Dang it I didn't meet the cp standard I dont wrench on cars everyday 😕 just farm equipment

do the astro nanos work in any 17 or 22mm wrench?

Its messed up that you can't find this ratchet wrench anywhere anymore.

I know it is made in Taiwan but I have come to really like the Carlyle stuff. I have a few of their ratchets, a set of the wrenches, some screwdrivers, one of their digital torque wrenches, and a few sets of their chrome sockets and a set of their ratcheting flex head (six point) wrenches. Superior quality to a lot or even most of the other non tool truck stuff. And I guess I need training LOL. I pinned a nonreversible ratchet wrench between the rocker box cover and the back bone on a HD. Once. Repeat once.

get the Astro Pneumatic 1834 nano flex head 1/2 impact gun

If you have both Mac boxes at your house what toolbox do you have a work?

CP, I work on material handling equipment full time, and sometimes work on cars for extra money.

What's up CP ...I do ..I work in dairy...I'm in the shop .aka (shop bitch) I do welding tig,stick,mig. A little fab,electrical and anything else im asked to do.

TEKTON

I'm not a real mechanic I just can't find a real job

Would i still be classified "real mechanic" if I work on heavy equipment and not cars? 😂

Good video.. Im trying my best stop buying tools and you're not very helpful 😂
