I just spent my life savings on a green flex head extended handle, its the best rachet I've ever used. Good work Matco!!!

All my ratchets are from Matco and they are great. Locking flexhead are the only way for me.

Pretty cool seeing where and how my ratchets were made. Locking flex are such great ratchets.

I enjoy watching & learning how these tools were manufactured. I purchased 3 Matco ratchet’s yesterday and I’m mighty proud of USA made Tools.

Why don't you matco still make videos like these, I like to see how my tools are made mades me more proud of them

Use a Matco ratchet every day and love it!

Yes, there are some good tool manufacturers in America but there's some good ones in Germany too. I've got three 30 year old Gedore ratchets, strong as an ox, still going strong.

Snap on still the very best

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Love Matco tools! Thanks Matco Joe

Love my matco tools!

love the tool.

This is so cool to see!!

CONGRATS!

Excellent video of how Excellent tools are made.

It would be cool if a distributor would service my location more regularly than once every couple years. Or at least sell and ship directly. Serviceability and warranty were major factors influencing purchase.

Love their locking head have to keep my snapon for backup

Cool vid

what alloy it tools ?

Công nghê tuyệt voi quá 👍🏆❤️👏👏👏👏😍

Plant looks ancient compared to the Snap On one. I did find the spin weld real interesting never seen a company do that on a ratchet before. I wonder what that helps with.

Give the guy that puts the screw in for the swivel part a tub of locktite. Screws on those ratchets are always walking out. A little QC goes a long way.

Muito boa marca 👏👏👏👏👏

Muito bom tecnologia é tudo

I have a matco 3/8 ratchet ( BR11F ) that I have been using for just over 30 years now. Flex head, not locking. It has been a great ratchet. The head has some wobble in it now, but continues to function fairly well. I would love to get the pin fixed, maby warranty it if possible. Can't find a place to send it. Any info would be great thank you.

Who makes your ratchets and where?

Buenisimo..

Nice

Who makes them for you guys

good

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this the old Armstrong factory back when they were in business and making all Matco ratchets?

I love matco ratchets....but I'm not thrilled with the comfort grips I have the way they deteriorate I wish I hadve gotten the regular hard handles.....

Nice . We are making the high frequency induction machine in CHN , and it should be used for your tool fty, any interesting with it ?

Where is this factory at

Bought a 1/4 inch drive composite ratchet by performance tool in 2006,it still works and matco and snap on have both broke multiple times. 10 bucks vs 80 . Other than the flipper being opposite of USA made ratchets I love it!

where it made in?

trabalhao pra fazer uma ferramenta de ferro

Are these ratchets made for sata/apex?

The real ratchet factory is here in Detroit

All the years of a heavy equipment mechanic I never had a problem with my Matco dealer it's the dealers that do the warranty work handle might be welded but I never broke a handle I might have blew the guts out of the head and that was on my half inch long handle ratchet they always warranty that no problem

So is the Armstrong plant still making these? I thought you're parent company apex tool group closed them down? Let us know and how old is this fottage.

Thank you very much. to be completely honest when I use my tools, I think about the men and women who built them. Help to see this video

I wonder why they like doing that friction welding over just making it out of one piece of steel. I think Snap-On makes theirs out of one piece of steel but I know Matco and Mac Tools make them in two different pieces and then friction (spin-weld) the two pieces together.

Call matco they will tell you aj supplies them . They told me

Hola soy de México aquí le llamamos matraca tengo una 3/8 flexible ya se va en banda me gustaría saber cómo le hago para hacer válida su garantía aquí en México. yo la compré estando en Estados Unidos

Интересный конвейер

摩擦圧接からの高周波焼入れ

I have an idea for Matco I like to present to somebody

Made one by one, must be expensive

Ok phil . Where does matco manufacture tools ? Where is the plant ? I will wait

Why does the head need to be welded to the handle?

More blue tools

could they have put LESS lube inside the head of the ratchet?/ Holy crap ..every ratchet I open up is that way ..have to fix them all

Their chrome plating comes off.....

Where are all of the BLUE ratchets at ? ? ? We want MORE BLUE RATCHETS DAMMIT ! ! !

Why they not form these ratchet from one piece?

I also saw their route driver crying because matco pulled his route in Phoenix. He was devastated.

Better than snap on

' nice good tools... but bad blur focus on this video... need to fix the videocamera

Title is a little misleading. This is not a Matco facility, it is AJ Manufacturing www.ajmanufacturing.com . Matco Tools is a branding company not a manufacturer. Matco makes nothing other than toolboxes and margins. Matco Tools tell me I'm wrong LOL.

I whant one ! I wish I had the money I would buy one I lost all my tools in hurricane Irma!

What Country is this in?? Looks like the handles are made in Mexico??

My 3\8th bfr ratchet lasted mabey 4 days before skipping.

Kenn ich ned Bei uns hier im Laden gibt's nur Stahlwille Gedore Hazet. Kenn auch nix besseres.

Je suis un peu comme ça

👍👍👍👏👏👏👋👋👋

Ok I see the worth of the price now lol 😂

Snap on is better tho...

Who knows matco does not make tools ?

Vi que tienen operarios .soy oficial multiple.deje. la fabrica por que nunca valoro mi esfuerzo. Y capacidad .por el contrario trato de hacerme centir reemplazable e insignificante.pase 16 horas fuera. De mi casa.para que los dueños se hicieran ricos.solo 10 minutos para desayuno y 20 para almorzar.si tenia almuerzo.delen a sus obreros participacion en ganancia.y no los tengan vajo presión.se hace miserable asi el trabajo.bueno muy buenas herramientas.exito.

عالم العطورات ....

Ah, good old gearwrench.

They still spin weld the non flex ratchets. Had mine break there today. Odd design choice...I was using it to loose a drain plug.

Matco tools are excellent when I was a mechanic 15 years ago even though they are made by other companies (except for tool boxes) my matco ratchets were made by Armstrong and New Britain, my matco sockets were made by sk every bit equal to snap on in durability at much less cost ( I own many snap on tools as well) the only problem I ever had was my matco dealer was an unreliable dick , my snap on dealer was much better to deal with

2:07 gearwrench handles...

The best ratchets in the world!!!! Better than snapon!!! Yeah I said it

I've noticed on my new matco ratchet USA and the part number are no longer engraved on the ratchet, they are now laser etched with an American flag picture are the ratchets still made in the same USA factory??

How come they all don’t look tawainese? (Seriously) where is this?

Upload more video mr matco tools hiiiiii

These are not the same as gearwrench if anyone is truly wanting to know. Gearwrench is no doubt a great ratchet, but the matco one in my opinion is far superior, especially when comparing the comfort grip. Also, if you have a tool truck can't beat the warrenty process.

best ratchet in the industry use mine everyday

I love the Silver Eagles. The name is Patriotic 🇺🇸 and that means a great deal to me and many others. 🦅

Matco rebrands not manufactures.

China loves Matco. Me not so much.

Hey look, the birthing video of skippy the ratchet

Made it same factory as the ones at Harbor freight tools

Anyone know what Matco stands for? Mac Allied Tool Company Fact...... Apex tools makes a lot of their tools. Also fact

Over priced junk try and have it warrantied always an excuse.i bought a long 3/8 drive for brake jobs and the gears broke cut the hell out of my hand.

Twice the price, half as good.

A j manufacturing does indeed make rachets for matco . It sucks to be wrong but it's stupid to try to make it facts old man

Ratchets are made by Armstrong . Yet another rebranded tool . We call Matco (Rebrandco) at my shop. We search Amazon before we step on the matco truck and usually find the same product for a fraction of the price . One day mobile tool trucks will be no more .... That day will be sooner than later

Matco rebrands most of their tools but their ratchets are USA made and the best in the business as far as I'm concerned. My snap on and gearwrench 120xp ratchets sit and collect dust now that I have multiple of these locking flex heads in every drive size.

Made by AJ tools for Matco. Its kinda pathetic that a Tool truck company does not make a single tool. I feel bad for Matco putting this video out , nothing to be proud about here.

Google where does matco manufacture tools .... They contract out all tool production . you will them see you are wrong . You are welcome

Shouldn’t have stopped stamping the ratchets. No one wants anything laser engraved.

Might as well buy a cheap ratchet that can beat by a cheap Chinese craftsman. Just like the air tools of mine that are less than two years old and local distributor refused to warranty.

SK=Facom

When I was in school Marco gave me discounted tool prices. The problem is that it takes 6 to 9 months to get anything. I will never by another match tool as long as I live. They told me I was no longer in school and asked for notes from my teachers and college to verify. Impossible company to deal with. I told them I hated them and their service I would never buy from them again. They did not even try to stop me or make it right. Be careful if you are an aspiring tech. MATCO SUCKS!

Good tools for automotive. But are OVERPRICE. Not as SNAP OFF THE BIG RIP OFF IN TOOLS. But overpriced. I go with INDUSTRIAL brands. PROTO(industrial quality good price), WILLIAMS(snap off a real price) Automotive i go GEARWRENCH (good quality) and NEPROS (TOP NOTCH , FERRARI OF TOOLS) NEVER, NEVER BUY SNAP OFF THE BIG SCAM IN TOOL INDUSTRY.

Its a shame mechanics have to pay the amount of money they do to have quality tools to do their jobs. Especially when everything but ratchets and toolboxes are rebranded by you guys. For the price you all attempt to charge i might as well go with snap on.
