hey folks that fix a guy here and we'll add some more tools to the bucket today so I wanted to show you three more tools from the store that everybody loves to hate so come along let's get to fixing [Music] [Applause] so before I show you the other tools I bought these bad boys as well there right same trip this is the hollow shaft nut driver set that actually converts into the t-handle by Quinn these things turn out to be awesome man great find the Harbor Freight really has some Cool Tools in my opinion so this right here is an eight and a half inch wide mouth adjustable jaw wrench right it does go all the way up to inch and a half says that you can actually pull this out flip this wrench around and now you've got somewhat of a pipe wrench with these grooves right there right but I'm never going to use this this way this is my favorite midsize wrench though I have owned a couple of these at this point they are really nice it's really solid if you look down in that hole right there you actually prod around like I did you'll find that there's metal all the way down to here this grip it's a nice rubber grip this is a cheap Quality Tool in my opinion so it also comes with these little covers right here I guess you could use on a little more delicate stuff and now you've got something that is not metal not going to damage a plastic fitting or something you're working on so that is kind of cool I said I've never used those though if someone ever put any of those things on ever and said wide mouth one thing I like about this you go all the way to end of this where it says to stop and look we put this up against a 10 inch rusted out vice grip you get those lined up well you get about another quarter inch out of this which is I don't know it's pretty sweet I say I like it 12 inch wrench that I found a little while back that bad boy will go an inch and a half and then that we'll want a tight space this is awesome so number two is one of my favorite little setups the Pittsburgh seven piece ratcheting combo set right it's nice to have you know a little open Den wrench a little boxing wrench that is a ratchet right this is definitely a cheap little set but for the price this is a great bang for your buck um could I use bigger wrenches than this sure I'm not going to carry all those in my tool bucket this little seven piece set that goes from 5 16 to three quarter well awesome right these little things I've owned a couple sets of these and they've not let me down yet fingers crossed last but not least this eight piece set of bolstered screwdrivers has been a staple in my tool bucket forever I don't carry every single one but there is a couple that I do carry and I love this whole screwdriver one piece of metal with this plastic handle built on the one thing that I really wish that they would do at Harbor Freight or Pittsburgh is I wish that they would like engrave these I get it it's a bit more expensive but over time this actually just wears off right like you can see on this old one the same size it's completely gone and I broke the tip off why because I use this like a chisel the other nice thing it's magnetic right the ends of these are magnetized which does come in handy from time to time like you accidentally drop a screw down a drain or something this sometimes will help you out and get it out it has this end right here that you can actually take a 5 8 socket or this open end wrench whatever right and hook that up and get that on there but me personally I've used it a lot as a hammer this right here hillbilly Hammer boom boom chisel set up boom boom so these littler sizes right here I will always usually keep in my shopper in a separate tool bag and I'll have them but they won't go in my bucket why because I have a six and one that's going to go in my bucket that covers all these sizes so this 3 8 and this number three on this 5 16 and this number four these are gonna go in there this bad boy is going to go in there and this whole little set right here is going to tug down on the inside so I can tell you there is this I think it's the first snag that I found with this bucket is there's not a pocket deep enough for my two big screwdrivers I don't know that I like that right so I mean this pocket maybe if it went all the way down instead of halfway up it might work a little bit better for me yeah I mean if that was the case and it's set right there I might not be bad about it but that's a bummer dude hey we're going to do a little rearrangement here take those put those in there that looks like it could be a little bit better this one's the deepest pocket pull those bad boys out and see if well I guess that could work I mean by the time we put some more screwdrivers in there and we get our six and one in there that actually might work out pretty well that bad boy is gonna go great hopefully the the next ones will sit in there these pop right down on the inside oh check it out there's my six and one all right well that's not horrible I'll take that so don't sleep on tools from Harbor Freight right I was actually going to take this one back because the tip broke but I've decided I was going to shoot a video on chopping this off and actually showing you what this looked like there and I mean I'm telling you I mean look at that end I pound the heck out of this thing man I use these so wrong so many times and they've always worked great I really hope that you folks are enjoying this me building the bucket backup process it actually gives me a little time to let the shoulder heal
