@Check my about page link can’t sorry I’m blind

You're absolutely right. The thing is that, once you start very clearly displaying the country this "stuff" comes from, you're obviously going to make people angry. Especially when you choose to compare very cheap "stuff" with another "stuff" that's way more expensive than the rest (and happens to be American, of course). I'm pretty sure there wouldn't have been half as many angry comments if the country those wrenches were made in hadn't been mentioned.

@@johnjohnson6090 why we should care about angry people though? I will refer this video to see which wrench i want 😂

@@dx7255 Because... that's what the initial comment was about... And I was merely replying to his comment.

No matter where it came from or how good it was made, an open - end wrench is only good for just so much. Even the best possible quality is going to fail somewhere.

It’s not an advantage that’s just a good design, so it’s unfair, because it was a comparison and better designing is a big point, for deciding which one’s the best.

@@Ichbins_Tim_04 watch the Video again. Compare how many contact areas the wrenches have. The US wrench has far more contact and that gives it more Grip compared to the Rest. You may call it Design, but this Design gives it an Advantage. And yes....that makes it unfair.

Question is, if the forces here are relevant to real life? If not I would also take the cheaper and lighter German version, especially if you think about carrying a larger set.

@@djbeste the max forces? most likely no. But these are Tools for all kinds of craftsman. Sooner or later, someone will use them for Tasks, that they are not meant for. So durability is important. A good Toolset can last for Decades, if treated well.

more style than substance. also that square head, UGG.

@@ziggyinc The square head was made to fit the square bolts that were common at the time.

I hate it. Seems harder to hold on to. Takes extra space so it's harder to fit in to tight places. Most of all, it looks stupid. Modern combination wrench is better. I'd recommend a hex drive on the closed end over a 12 point, but it has to be a ratcheting design.

@@ihateeverything3972 including yourself? 😉

If shear strength was the only quality criteria of a tool you’d be correct.

Eh depends. If you're a tradesman you want tools that will last you through years of abuse and also have quirks that make your job a little easier. Yeah I could buy cheap wire strippers that get the job done and will last a long time but they suck the entire time I use them and make life just a little more difficult than it has to be every single time because they don't have a snug fit around the wire. Or even something as simple as a cheap temperature probe, it takes forever to get to the current temperature and when it finally gets there I wonder if I can even trust it. Compare that to a nice Fieldpiece dual temperature sensor that is nearly instant and very accurate. Better tools are definitely worth the extra money if you use them often.

Isn't the mantra "Buy cheap once."

@@jdthesexpert05 I totaly agree with you. And also even for homework I prefer better tools. My father has collected some really good tools, same like his father and he gave it to me. Now I collect good quality tools too and I will gave them to my son. Average quality tools are for average skilled guys which more likely call profesional on the job then do it by their own.

@@StoneInMySandal He is correct though. Unless you routinely abuse a wrench on rusty worn bolts with a huge extension, buying a premium one is a waste of money. The medium quality (cheap but brand name) tools at my job have lasted over 20 years with no signs of wear.

You have to break a few cheap tools before you understand why buying the best can really save a lot of frustration. This applies to EVERYTHING.

@@rapidrrobert4333 True, however there are times when it's better to have the wrench rather than the fastener fail! That's why it's always a good idea to keep some cheap, disposable tools around!

price comparison is unfair, becasue thanks to communist regime, no real environmental standart control, concentration camp labor and more, china can always be cheaper at same quality if needed.

While price is probably indicative, I'd pay more attention to the geometry there. The Milwaukee wrench has an entirely different one compared to the other contemporary ones.

You wont bend or break a 17mm Allen key from a name-brand manufacturer with hand tools. Go take a look how large 17mm actually is - 16mm is the same size as 5/8"

That allan was massive tho, solid brick a tungsten. Shit wouldn't bend if you told it's kids were diein .absolute unit

@@austinjohnson8900 - yeah, 17mm hardened steel (not tungsten carbide, that would shatter). The properly engineered hex keys are incredible things - I remember the original Hex Keys and Fasteners were termed "Unbrako" (brand name) which still exists today. My dad engineered large printing presses that used them for high-stress applications, and it was amazing how long a helper bar you could put on one. They act almost like a spring, and feel very strange when you really lean on one - at a certain point they actually twist rather than snap or strip to socket. I think that the Torsional Yield on a 5/8" (smaller than 17mm) Unbrako wrench is approximately 900 ft/lb of torque, but I may have the equation/conversions wrong.

@@johncoops6897 my bröther in christ I'm making an joke now *LAUGH PEASANT*

Good old American

Was thinking the same thing. The torque is the important thing to measure here, not the downward force on an arbitrary point along the handle.

this is a video of a Russian blogger, and this dude stole it

I believe the distance from the allen wrench used to the pressure point of the press never changed, so the torque on the jaws should have been the same

@@johnsonpaul1914 It's possible that he tried to maintain the same distance, but it's still highly prone to error. Even being off by a few millimeters would have a significant effect on the results, and the way the press encounters different contact points with the wrench as it pushes down due to the wrench's shape pretty much guarantees that this won't be very accurate. It's still interesting though; not crapping on the video, just suggesting a better method.

Would it have been better to have the 12 point side gripping the hex as well. I think when the open side loses grip the load numbers may be deceiving.

I do not see it as unfair. Better design = better result.

The Milwaukee is not comparable to the other wrenches because it is a higher tier model, they have better wrenches from those other countries as well. Taking the cheapest foreign made and comparing it to not the cheapest American made is not a fair comparison of the countries steal and design, still a good video.

@@lawrencelazaro8400 I mean, not really. Milwaukee is known for a lot of good tools, but in the trades they're not especially highly regarded for their box wrenches. If this was a Snap-On or something then I would agree, but anything you can just go buy off the shelf in Home Depot is not what I'd describe as "higher tier." Clearly they've engineered a good wrench though, for the price.

@@anssi2267 Absolutely agree. it's not just the fancy stuff like v-groove jaws, either. The Milwaukee also had the tightest tolerances for any of the "17mm" wrenches. This wasn't a contest of steel quality or national pride, but it does show that an intelligently designed and accurately manufactured tool will do better than the others

@@lawrencelazaro8400 I would not consider that a higher tier model really, it is decidedly average

$2000 dollars later

From time to time I'll go to the flea market and dig through the boxes of tools that are being sold. I have a mish mash of offset dogbone style wrenches that seem pretty good. Old but edges and corners look good. Also found some larger old US manufactured open end wrenches that have a flattened oval shaped beam. Really comfortable in the hand and they look to be machine finished after the forging. I wire wheeled those babies and gave them a rubbing with some light oil. Love the opportunities when I can use them!!

@@Rimrock300 I disagree. In these cases what you pay is the brand. You can buy spanners from Toptul for lower price. Same design, same quality and specs. The reason why Milwaukee is more expensive is because it is a well known brand, while Toptul is barely known and people question its quality. So for them to sell any spanners, they need to go with lower price.

@@Rimrock300 Actually, historically that wasn't the case. And I would say it's still true to a smaller degree today, that certain countries are happy with wider tolerances when they manufacture their tools. It's a cost savings measure, and countries that produce cheap tools can't be bothered with tighter tolerances. Also in decades past, China produced tools with inferior steels and cheaper alloys. That's largely gone today, but still worrying.

Stahlwille I am a joke to you?

Stahlwille have one of the best tools for brake lines, springs and other great tools. But standard quality about wrench in Germany is still Hazet or Gedore.

Because torque was applied on the side, not from the bottom as the others tools. You Can not trust this test, maybe Milwaukee its weaker, he should repeat the test using the same torque in the same spot in all of them

Yeah, because this testing setup has a major flaw. The hex key is not correctly fixated. You can see it multiple times, not only at the Milwaukee, that the hex key jumps out of the clamp.

Because it had a different style with "teeth" in there to grip it, all the others were smooth from the inside so they slipped easier as you saw

Yep. If such a bolt did not go at gravity force of 100 KG at 0.25m (1000 Newtons force, 250Nm torque) you better do something other than forcing it further. Too much torque may shear the bolt head or worse, squeeze shear the board between the bolt and nuts. I'm civil engineer. Too much specs on one place makes no sense as others would be the weak spot.

Look at the kg counts. Are you really going to put like 80+ kg on a 17 mm wrench (for 10 mm bolts)? The bolts would normally break sooner than your tools.

You MAY need to use such a torque to loose a rusty bolt. Also striking the end of wrench with a hammer would apply a huge amount of spike torque to the bolt. Whether you should or worth do such an action is another question.
