Please test „hazet“, „gedore“, „stahlwille“, „würth“, „facom“ and other popular german toolbrands 🙂 „wright tool“ isn‘t a real german toolbrand

@@momuller7216 Correct, it's American. And Facom would be French but made by Stanely, and Wurth would likely be made in Asia as they dont make they're own stuff anymore I believe. But we're open to anything!

@@TorqueTestChannel oh ok then I got it wrong. Würth ratchets are manufactured by Facom, possibly also the wrenches

German, Japanese, and what about some of the snap on owned brands like Blue Point and the USA Made Williams Wrenches?? I’d be curious how the Williams stack up against snap on since they’re both made in the same factory but with considerable difference in price!

@@momuller7216 It's honestly hard to keep track now a days, no worries!

Steelman Pro as well.

We can do that

@@TorqueTestChannel I agree with everything Joshua recommended, I’d also like to see Carlyle Tools and Evercraft from NAPA added to that list!

@@auto_mania my local Napa tried to charge me 300 for a 20pc set of Carlyle 1/2in sockets

@@hoeleefuuk9647 I’m not familiar with that set, but Carlyle tools definitely aren’t cheap compared to Craftsman, Tekton, etc. (EDIT: Cheap in terms of cost, not quality.) I usually buy Carlyle tools when they go on sale online and do pick up in store.

For some reason I am never really surprised when Matco and Snap On underperform. The business model is more about making mechanics feel important for the money they're spending, less about making them actually better mechanics.

Wright is like Matt Flynn. You'd have to be a fan to know.

@@ObservationofLimits Olympia is like Biden. Wright is like Trump. 🤣

@@gorkyd7912 But Snap-on carriers a life time warranty while the others you have to rebuy also they have a more complete selection for every thing while the other brands you have to look else where for those types of tools. Nothing like needing a 1" long 1/4" ratchet with a shallow swivel socket to get in a spot with out it you would have a boring time with a end wrench that might be to long.

I agree with this

Their wrenches are the best I've ever abused. I've got a non flank drive 10mm snap on I plan to put up against the weight grip 2 now

im not sure if i have any but if i do im not going to let them go. id sooner shitcan snap-off.

I purchased 1/2"drive ratchet at Montgomery Wards years ago which was made by Wright. Great ratchet used till early 2000's when my son lost it. Made me sick...

@@texasredneck9226 he still owes you a new one then

Williams are good too. Good to know when buying a set. I'd buy the Wright set for sure!

Spoken like a true novice that enjoys skinned knuckles.

Where do you warranty Wright tools

@@johnb1121 Is it through the distributor you bought them through or directly through right tools. Honestly not as easy as other companies unfortunately

Standard SOP, very good

orr, not comment at all and soak in the shame

The test was absolutely bogus. You test a wrench to see if it will reach the rated torque value of the nut or bolt you are tightening. A professional mechanic does not exceed the torque value of a machine bolt, regardless of which tool is used to tighten it.

@@joeinkentucky that's hot bullshit. i promise you no nut is ever at 'torque value of a machine bolt'. have you never heard of rust? or heat cycles? why do you think they make things like a 3/4 inch socket thats 1 inch drive? or phrases like 'it cant be tight if its liquid'. things dont always go as planned and machines break down, that's the purpose of a mechanic, and if things were as perfect as you say theyd never break to begin with according to some engineers

@@joeinkentucky This has some big desk job energy to it

I just bought the Icon anti-slip wrench sets yesterday, so it's good to hear this feedback. I expected to see them in this test, because isn't that what they open the video with?!

I have not finished this yet but there was a guy can't think of his name now used to swear a lot on his own trucking company that did this test and eventually on the snap-ons he got so he could hang on it and hold up his fat 280 lb of body weight on a small ranch too I want to say it was like 13 mm anyway I love this test

I use Wright before any other choice

Wright is mostly industrial supply. No need for fancy marketing wank. If it works it works and thats all that matters.

Capri tools seems to have their act together. I've seen a couple of their tools on Project Farm and they've done very well

Absolutely

I'd like to see the difference between the wera joker and joker ratchet since the ratchet ones have that little plate to hold a nut, I have both sets and haven't had any issues with them but seeing numbers on it would be good

The best way to describe them is a 12 point open ended spanner. The Wera Joker ratcheting shifter (Joker 6004) also has the this design feature which I very useful when a fastener is right up against some thing and a normal spanner/socket won't slip over.

Allot of KZfaq testers from the US only seem to do US tools. I've noticed this over the years. Some great European tool brands, not just from Germany!

@@gdoldays9964 Heres hoping that can change

Project Farm often includes Wera in his tool tests ... and they generally finish in the top 10% if not higher. Great quality tools 😉

I second the Harbor Freight tools. I always hope to see them in comparisons.

And mac And proto

The Milwaukee wrenches seem to work better and feel better in the hand. I’d love to see them tested.

Half my tools are either Carlysle or Pittsburgh. I’m not super hard on my tools, so I’ve always figured I oughta go for the budget option until it no longer works for me. I’d love to see how my cheapo Pittsburgh wrenches stack up against the competition in a controlled environment

Would really like to see Pittsburgh, I have USA made stuff that I use on the daily, but I keep a backup Pittsburgh set in my car for emergencies

Mite as well throw in some Japanese tools as well like nepros.

Proxxon,Lux,Matador...

The newer Facom and Bahco wrenches and ratchets are from USAG and made in Italy.

@@PlasmaBallX Ah your right, i just checked with my supplier. Standard length Facom combination wrenches 10mm comes from IT instead of UK/Germany like others. Bahco show made in Germany when i check Bahco 111M-10 (for example) so not sure about that.

Not all Beta tools are made in Italy. I bought a few Beta reversible ratcheting comination wrenches and they were made in Tiawan. The country of origin is not very important to me but I due feel the edges of the wrenches are too sharp to be comfortable in the hand. The matte chrome finish is flacking off as well.

Your welcome, I recommended them for testing. I have both there metric and sae sets in satin and polished. I love them both, great wrench’s you wouldn’t be disappointed in there performance.

@@FishFind3000 **you're welcome. You want praise for recommending something? I think you forgot you didn't actually perform the test.

Noop. Buy Strap_on ! "Almost as good" as Wright at 3x the price BUT.. only $33.77 ,every Friday ! For life ! PLUS. A hat and bottle opener FREE !!!!

Yeah Wright grip 2.0 kicks the shit outta Snap on any day and I own snap on flank drive plus

​@@FishFind3000 no actually I recommended them, so ur welcome

The industrial brands like that do tend to get left out of these reviews a lot. Not really surprising, but it would be nice to see them included. Probably most of the viewers watch for the more affordable brands. And there's a good chance they'd skew the results a bit since most of these other brands are engineered towards cars and smaller projects vs. industrial tools that are engineered for straight up performance regardless of application

Wright tool makes some of proto and sk sockets

Williams Supercombo wrenches are Flank Drive wrenches with a different stamp

The black coated Proto ratchet wrenches are made in Taiwan. In fact I believe all the current Proto ratchet wrenches are made in Asia. The Satan "Anti Slip" are made in the US

Will do!

Agreed

I'm sure it has more of an effect when the fasteners already worn,rusty

@@TorqueTestChannel after watching the very first few minutes of your video where you break the open ended part of the spammer. Are you not aware that you used that spanner the incorrect way around? The shorter prong is meant to ALWAYS be the leading prong, with the longer prong trailing. You connected the spanner on the nut as it should be for anti clockwise use, not clockwise as you had it.

@@mickk8519 "the shorter prong is meant to ALWAYS be the leading prong" . Im not trying to be mean, but I'm not sure where you're getting this, it's incorrect. The reason the open end is offset 15 degrees is so you can flip the wrench over every rotation if you need to, to get a wider range of movement in really tight spaces. I just had to do this with a long bolt at work last week. It takes forever, but it was the only option. It's far more common in industrial work than you would imagine, especially as new machines get more complex, and more compact. More evidence of this is the fact that the serrations on "flank drive" style wrenches are inside both prongs of the open end. If you were only supposed to pull the wrench in the way you state, then the serrations would only need to be on the inside of the longer prong. I hope this is informative. Take care

Got to admit I was rooting for it after its flarenut episode doing not awesome, not that rooting for it has seemed to help before. But I have a lot of very old Craftsman wrenches I'd love to continue to have good memories associated with :)

@@TorqueTestChannel I have 2 sets of Craftsman vintage, all I've ever used other than my dad's old old Snap-on. I also have a set of Craftsman professional line wrenches, they are way better than the vintage raised panel ones.

Seconding the call here for a Wera Joker against a Wright wrench. Not the joker adjustable wrenches but the 12 point open end combo wrench without an offset. It’s a goofy looking thing. But it’s got some big meaty claws.

@@Matt-ps9iz Ah, good point. The open end is the one I was referring to and I'd forgotten the adjustable thing had the same name. It has an insert with teeth that's allegedly exchangeable but I don't think I've ever seen them for sale. Might just weaken the whole thing but might be a game changer. The combination 10/13mm wrench is a very handy one for my use.

I got mine from my grandpa, still warrantied and work great. Never had one slip on me. Have snapped some bolt heads and studs off with them though.

Definitely give them a shot. Having both the satin and full polish Wrights, I will say they both grip amazingly. If you rewind to where they show the logo on the beam that also shows the jaw design I think it'll make more sense. The Wright doesn't just have a few teeth at the bottom, it's actually broached to where the end of the wrench comes in just over nominal but down where the teeth are it's wider (the logo shows this under where it says "grip", you'll notice a part that is the teeth and it bows down before going up). So not only does it have the teeth biting but the specific profile makes the fastener head pretty much get wedged into the wrench. Their patent drawings also show the theory of operation; if you consider a regular old parallel jaws wrench, when you turn the wrench the two contact points will be two corners, right on the corners. The specific degree of that special angle Wright does on the teeth side makes it so instead of that side touching just a corner, the fastener actually is parallel to the teeth which helps with that much vaunted "off corner loading" that a lot of tool companies do so much marketing about these days. I would be definitely willing to bet that unless someone else comes up with the "Wright Killer" design at some point, when Wright's parents expire on the 2.0 the companies that already do grip wrenches will be considering knocking off their design, or elements of it. The special pocket for sure.

I work there

Cleveland or Akron?? That's one of the things that makes me proud to be from Ohio. Wright, Mac, Matco, Cornwell, Kennedy boxes. OH..

I have the Mac Precision torque in metric and am very happy with them. I have not tested them to failure but use them daily without complaint. My SAE wrenches are the WrightGrip 2.0 and they serve well also.

My buddy had those with flex but tbh the length was a short. It was inbetween a stubby and a standard more or less. Personally I opt for proto over mac everytime

I have the cheaper Craftsman version in both SAE and Metric for the exact same reason. Definitely shorter (not always a bad thing) but after two months of abuse, they’re holding up #fieldtech

I have a set that I'm very happy with. I'm not a field service tech, but the holder is really good for organizing your drawers while taking up as little space as possible, but you can get the same thing by buying a mechanics time saver brand magnetic wrench holder. the folding case is good for when I need to bring wrenches home for a project though.

Not a field tech but I have snap on FDX & mac pt wrenches at work, I’ve yet to have either slip on damaged fasteners, but using both you can definitely tell fhe FDX design works better

When I worked on aircraft we always had "screw grab" in stock, its basically the same stuff. Very, very helpful for corroded Phillips screws that cannot be drilled out without a lot of money involved.

I hear ya. They just sent the third price increase notification in a year or so. Wish I woulda bought their stuff earlier. It’s starting the get pricey….and yes I get inflation…

Yeah I was really looking forward to seeing what the icon would do.

@@TurboV8boi this channel tests some HF stuff but not nearly all of it. jackoff still never tested the 3/4in 20v impact.

@@Lee-lb9qh post it if you find it please 👍

they tried it both ways. made no difference. that's in the video. i thot the same thing.

Agreed Wright is the Best Buy in America currently. The American made Tekton is very nice too.

@@georgecolee7663 I like my Tekton tools a lot, their Taiwanese made sockets are great and the customer support is excellent. Ive probably spent upwards of 1k on their tools at this point haha, haven't failed me yet

You call it best purchase when you over payed for a tool? WRIGHT Tools is only $160 compared to $452

@@hermesvalencia2187 I bought mine several years ago and problem like everything else is warranty.

@@mt1885 unfortunately that is the scare tactic that keeps working for Snap On, and that's how they continue to rip-off their customers WARRANTY!! Hand tools are not electronics that are going to stop working. Decent Tools rarely break if used properly, and they can last decades.

@@hermesvalencia2187 They don't last and I don't care.

Yes please

Metrinch rules (except for very small nuts). It presses on the center of the flats of the nuts, not at the corners.

Can't reccomend it enough, I shelled out an got the flex heads and hoo boy lemme tell ya that's a fine wrench

I'm surprised the Milwaukee were missed

They are amazing for the price, I’d rather have them than gearwrench, tekton, craftsman etc Milwaukee actually makes an open end that isn’t trash

Just buy the Wrights.

They’re way too short imo

Yes how in the world did MAC not make this 1st round??

Williams is now owned by snap on

I find them at times to be too thick for some situations. That's my only complaint about my wright wrenches

@@Robodriller they're no thicker than most every other spanner

@@brettwalkom948, I've had to go get a crappy Dewalt wrench several times because my wright's were to thick. It's just something I've noticed Several times. The Dewalt wrenches, super soft, but got the job done I believe one time I was working on the axle on a BMX bike. To thick between the frame and hub. But my Dewalt fit

Who said it doesn't matter? It seems like guys just didn't pay attention and that could affect the results of this test.

Ooo now that would be interesting to see. Their standard MaxChrome didn't seem to do so hot but a wrench specifically made for grip grip grip might bring them back to glory

Looks like page 76, thanks!

I'd add Teng in there too, I think there must be say Gedore or Stahlwille in the US?

@@danebrewer10 I've been getting ads for Teng so they appear to be available in the US. Also yeah we can get Stahlwille and Gedore here, there's a company that specializes in importing and selling German tools specifically (KC Tool)
