today we check out the best socket sets available on the market with a lifetime warranty so
we've got products from bluepoint wearer and halfords advance we'll look at the ease of use
identification what you get for your money and what is included in your lifetime warranty
surprise wise first in is the blue point snap-on set this is a hundred piece and comes in at 299
including the v80 and the wearer set is 43 piece and comes in at 264 pounds including the v80
and last but not least the halfords advance set which is 175 piece comes in at 204 including v80
that's worth to bear in mind this is prices we paid for them not the actual retail price so first
up we have got a product from snap-on and this is the blue point hundred piece service mechanic set
that's displayed here by james there's something we've got obviously ratchets which are three
eight and the quarter inch it's according to wraps it's what they sound like oh yeah
it sounds nice this is really fine this one can you hear that that's the gears inside your head
extensions for both and we've got one what two three eight extensions and two quarter
inch extensions little pink little dinky dinkers and then obviously guys got your straight bar
non-ratcheting swivel bar which is nice because obviously you can ratchet and then swivel over
and carry on or not ratchet you don't ratchet with a non-wrench no you don't no you take off and
turn around and go around again you've got two uh knuckle pieces again quarter inch and three
eight and then screwdriver bits so we've got a range of flat head posi drive and phillips hex
sets as well and your standard torx bits long and short reach sockets in both sizes so you've got
your shorts and your longs and your shorts and your lungs in yeah as we said feel good as well
good quality how do they clip on let's have a go let's have a go oh that's nice it goes on nice
and easy got the button on the top of the ratchet button on the top of the ratchet in there clip in
oh that's what you expect from the snap on tool wouldn't it really to be honest
i know something do you call it do people call this snap on or do they just call it blue point
i don't know tell us in the comments would you call this by blue point or blue point by snap on
interesting one thing we did forget it's a quarter inch nut driver so yeah that
nice hundred pieces huh or not quite because there's a secret compartment oh yeah there is
there is look at that spanners and oh another three extension your long one what's that 10
inches so say on it you've got glasses on my oven right there you've got eyelashes
and then yeah t-bar we have the twisty over medubri actually that is your breaking bar
isn't it but quite a small breaking button yeah you're breaking bathroom three-eighths what about
spanner sizes i'm surprised that's still in the box to be honest normally that's disappeared
don't they very long to lose is it so what is it sequentially from 10 mil
up to 19 mil numerical ordering obviously but nothing between so yeah 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19. and today with james at school i can still count excellent yeah that's yeah so if you do
want to put extra socks extra 10 mil sockets in there put them in the handy holder there you go
next one so now we've got the one with the biggest hype around it which is obviously wearer because
everyone seems to be saying how good it is so we thought we had to get a set in here it's always
very nicely packaged isn't it it feels like a christmas gift or christmas gifts all around like
like a little bath set you get at christmas that sort of thing yeah a nice link set
do you still get link sets i've got one for many years i don't know about
to say something oh look at this it's very popular that looks more like a vtec
oh look at this tall rebels that's cool oh that's posh it's the smallest sat we've got here
josh you did it honestly yeah the honors today didn't work out
but does the foam insert come out so you can put it in the toolbox yeah yeah it does
oh i want one now just want to look keep looking at it now oh you dig right yeah i'll dig right in
i can't i can't help myself so you've got these movable ends on your
it and then obviously also you put it wherever you want to you can use it as a oh it's just
so lovely yeah i can see why everyone gets so excited about these and then you've just
got your little twisty top over the top there so i like that so you get half inch
this looks like torque and quarter inch so no three eighths in this so you jump
in from quarter inch to half inch extension yeah extension with a button a torch it's not a torch
how do you still get your nut driver that's cool because that's when you when you're ratcheting
you hold your hand on there and i'll spin the um oh yeah there you go just little things
this is literally like a screwdriver setting here though yeah because you get your little
socket on your spin on the underwear is to pull forward yeah clip your torque settings in there
so again what we've got bit wise there are some security torx bits security torque bits in there
as well body and phillips yeah and one flat yeah but then who needs flat screwdrivers these days
does that mean you don't need that many oh i think that's for your sockets
yes so you've got a little quarter inch bit holder there we go these are a bit so you can
oh it's nice and again that's got so when you're holding it you've got the swivel actually dude
what sort of metal do you think it is because it's quite a nice like it's a like a brassy bronzy sort
of finish yeah definitely metal yeah i don't know what mail but that's nice yeah it is a little bit
different but there's not very much in this set it's only 70 seven i think for 43 piece
so 43 piece set one piece not as much included in this set but color scheme on the socket color
scheme easy to identify because everyone knows a green is a 21 socket and everyone knows a 24 it's
a blue socket they do now that is a very posh little set though i do like it it is nice menu
the full flavor behavior is yeah next one so now we have the halfords advance set is 175 piece
they claim that their ratchets have 100 point ratcheting parts on them and well we're quite
familiar with them because one of our technicians in the workshops has got this very set so oh
that's a big boy it's a big set it does seem a lot of product for the money oh you're right there can
we go i think it's got rubber on the bottom i was trying to pull it ah look at that that is a lot of
tools doesn't it there's a lot of tools yeah let's count them 175 oh that's quite common or the two
tools standing behind the case there are two tools okay look at that straight in proper breaking bar
half inch proper mechanic set in there it is it is a tall full set it's quite impressive
but you've got quarter inch three-eighth and half inch that sounds nice and fine
you've only got one quarter inch extension yeah you've got two three extensions and two
half inch extensions and only a half inch breaker bar three knuckles three knuckles
quarter three eight and a half inch you still got yeah what did you call that nut driver
speed driver yeah driver yeah uh oh that's it holder in there but that's for big bets yes
so you've got big bits big bit everyone likes big bits and they're available in the half advanced
set and little bits and medium bits little bits oh that's good that's good addition allen key
or hex key set depending on where you are from the world lots of big bits spanners yes spanners
so we have got uh six all the way up to 19. oh it's a sequential yeah yeah it looks like it six
seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen
nineteen yes all your spanish are included he's learning okay long reach sockets short
ridge sockets yeah about you all there is all that so all three products are very impressive
and they all come with lifetime warranty but what does that really mean well we're going to
hand you over to my twin brother and his cousin's brother to explain because they'll do a better job
than we will because it's so important to know what is covered and what's not we do apologize
hello carrot crunchers i'm norman and i've got my cousin's brother harold here to help me today to
explain to you about lifetime warranties well what does what are you covering me back well
this is a very good question that we're going to answer now right so norm i've been thinking
about this old lifetime warranty log and i even read enough about it and i reckon well ice knows
that that lifetime warranty on at all is covered for workmanship defects and material defects am
i right and said that's right yeah so you know if the the tool breaks while you're using it properly
it's covered under warranty all right so when it's not covered yeah is when you don't use it properly
misuse abuse storage and other things like that so if you're not training your tools right they
probably won't be covered under warrant no should we go through some of these things and in um
action however you want them harold let's show them why they shouldn't
be using them or why they shouldn't be using them we like stuff like that we do
so carrot crunchers you might think at some point in your life you need to make your own
tool but you go and weld your tool to whatever you need to you're gonna
avoid your warranty yeah you are i should be careful with stuff like that
can use these half inch in back bars as good old punches
right so let's compare all three sets i gotta say there's a lot of tools there is
josh yes we're gonna play a little game play a little game yeah okay you're gonna start
yeah i'll start you know okay so we'll start something very simple shall we simple so i've
got some 19 mil nuts okay but it's quite deep so i want to get something down there and do it always
end up talking about that there we go right so what what have you got that you can undo
my nut with have you got anything in your your set there that could be a bit deeper
19mm yes i've got a long reach 19 mils no i haven't that's not half inch that's three eighths
problems problems there we go okay three 19 mil on a little three eight socket
ratchet and i've got something you can do okay so we're that's that's nice and simple yeah what
well they only do stubbies sure they only got shorts i guess all right okay okay but you can
always as well with that set put your extension on yes so you could always have that okay right
all right okey dokey well i hear you you're gonna challenge me i hear you i'm gonna challenge you
okay how many extensions can you put on to each other how big can you make it how big can you
make it cool can you can you can you download it because i can i can i've got the adapters here i'm
still going so that i can go yeah well that's what i'm looking for i can put my half inch onto my
oh and i can also go to my three oh so you've got a half inch and three eight so i've got
three eighths going down to quarter so there's no half inch set in there okay yeah yeah yeah yeah no
more benches okay look at that look at that look at the curvature on there look at that for those
hard to reach places it is i got that over here as well should we do a little noise test noise test
or smoothness test smoothness yeah so should we go and do a quarter yeah let's go forward we've all
got a quarter yeah let's do a quarter can you hear that yeah yeah but i think mine sounds smoother
it's like a little tiny stopwatch guy i'm gonna get that one there because i just have a feeling
that just sounds like you're trying to do something happen is that
the wearer does sound nice at least you know you're doing it out when you're doing that
so we've all got we've got knuckles you've got knuckles yeah i've got knuckles i got knuckles
but the wearer hasn't got knuckles it hasn't but you've got something to overcome that you have so
i've got to do that who needs knuckles when you can do this yeah would you exactly that is nicer
and you can flip it right over it's a really nice action for left-handers and right-handers yeah
apparently
where are our thinking of the lefties yes great good for them where are we going
hex keys allen keys mm-hmm yeah what have you what have you got in your those two sets for alan
i haven't got any allen keys passe but i have got sockets for the allen keys okay so i got i
got allen keys in the have fizz advance yes with the with the knuckle on the end for like awkward
mm-hmm entry um has got long allen key bits but they're more like screwdriver bits so you've got
to put them into your nut driver and they oh yeah okay actually that's got a magnet on it that's
going to sound nice oh yeah the big boys yes there we go which in theory is that impact no where are
they what is the impact not impact worthy lifetime warranty not on impact yeah exactly so you've got
allen keys on on the socket so you put a socket allen key on your socket which is nice because
those big ones if you've got something that is way putting around off anyway being a hex key but here
we are a little bit specialist but every mechanic needs them it's a spark plug socket this is 21
mil big spark plugs all right you've won have i yeah because i don't have any proper spark plugs
obviously i've got long reach sockets which hang on i just picked up something i yeah
i hear you 21 mil and i've got a 21 millimeter how did i see them just now what have you got um
inside have you got oh you have got a little bit of a mountain that's right
you've actually got three i got three you've got three there's a three on there oh he beats me so i
did win unfortunately this is a little weirder set wear a set they haven't got one nothing on that
side no that's right that's fine like i said this isn't comparison of how big the sets are i'm sure
where it might do a bigger set for price lifetime warranty and everything one thing i always find
which is probably to do with my clumsy hands but the directional lever on the back of the ratchet
you're they're doing trying to undo something you're like going ah and you accidentally
flick the lever on the end and it starts going the wrong way oh god it's gone by the other way
or sits in the middle and you're like oh it's not ratcheting anymore so how easy is yours compared
to mine i think the blue blue point one is quite positive yep so it's either on or off yeah
but it has to be said this one you're not going to have an issue with right
although is it a bit fiddly is it too hard to do okay gloves wrong level there we go
yeah no it's still doable durable yeah it's still easy with the glove i suppose you can when your
thumb's on there you probably flick it one way or the other it might work yes yeah look at that
okay call we're learning we'll just try that with the glove you'll see what i mean the glove yeah
it's fine fine to do with the glove yeah compared to the halfords one the blue point one is a lot
more just feels like you're staying there that that's what the difference in those two look the
other thing with that one it won't stick in the middle whereas this one here will stay there go
yeah you physically got to push it right over on me looking at the weather it's got a little
button on the end of the on the extension yes why good good question can i show you guys you've
obviously learned something i haven't learned yeah i found this out so on the wear a bit right you've
got this little button which has got a green and a red if you have your socket but if you
put it into green okay so now push it on to your dot lines up with your dot now try and pull off
yeah yeah okay now put it back on again yeah now press the red button
it's quite stiff but that locks on that knocks your socket off good little feature so if you're
in a fiddly area say bottom of a car or something out and you've got an extension on and you can't
reach it you're not going to end up leaving your socket on the end of your nap i think that's
awesome that's a good feature that is really good feature never seen that before no so put it back
in the green and then you can pull it off cool like it good one weira is it wearer wearer tell
us in the comments i know they were just spelling it they can't really tell us in the comments do a
voice note yeah can i i don't know i don't know i haven't tried that anyway where are you from
oh what's the blueprint much fun i don't know right what's the most ridiculous thing
you can you can make in your set what's the most ridiculous thing um because i haven't
even done this but i have a 36 they go up to 36 mil these sockets on this in this set and
i can go from 36 with an adapter half inch down to three eighths then half inch down to quarter
and then put it into my nut driver look at that yes that is a 36 mil nut screwdriver
of still sons on the end yeah yeah lifetime warranty void that is going to w
each warranty voyager warranty i just say the half advance set for the price is the cheapest
set we've got it's got a lifetime warranty yeah and lifetime warranties are worth as much as each
other really to become honest we could probably say that we're set is the smartest even though
it's the most basic yeah it definitely is posh if money is no object out or you want to look really
good to your mates in your workshop with your colleagues whatever that could be green with envy
i like it i like it it's good i think the wearer stuff is nice it is very very nice
it feels nice it's right the ratchets just feel beautiful and again snap on blue point it's got
the name for itself you can't really go wrong with any of this it's all beautiful stuff so
lifetime warranty tools they're brilliant they're all really really good but value for money let's
say you're an apprentice technician starting out yeah or even an experienced technician
you want to have a whole set to chuck in the back of your van or whatever that is brilliant
mm-hmm i like that a lot i really really do there's a lot going on gleeson's good and
