No surprise the Hazet did the best of the chrome ones and even more surprising was how poorly the rape truck ones did.

I did enjoy watching the video when it came out and was also surprised at the results. Is that wording going to be allowed?
What wording? He doesnt swear in the video.
I really enjoyed the review also. I found it quite interestsing.
Can you both say with a straight face, that you honestly think @HyundaiAbuser is referring to the video, and not the reference to the tool truck? I busted out lol when Trav innocently claimed ignorance.
Interesting, but seems like you shouldm't be using a 3/8" tool for this much torque.
I have an old Craftsman cleanly broken 1/2 to 3/8 adapter. Was replace back in the day.

Sometimes there is not much choice, sometimes you need to use smaller 3/8 tools eg socket and long extension for clearance reasons to use either an impact or longer 1/2 tool. It was not all that long ago when long 3/8 ratchets were not a thing, I think 10" was about the longest you could find except maybe on a truck. I don't use adapters much but when you need one you need one.
I'm sure that's true. But add in that it would take a pretty big fastener to need that much torque. But it is what it is. I imagine you have engineered all kinds of creative solutions in your career. It takes what it takes.
Or a rusted/corroded one.
Curious... In your experience, how many have you broke? I've broken 1 and it was because I was using it inappropraitely due to lack of proper 1/2" socket. Of course I am a shade tree wrench, not to be compared to your experience and expertise.
Over the years quite a few, I couldn't put a number on it if I thought about it till Christmas but that is going back 50 years since I started.
This was an interesting test. And really shows the value and strength of the ICON brand. I'm finding more and more reasons to buy ICON tools. Strong, good prices, great warranty, and a quick and easy replacement process, regardless of where you live.
About the only thing "wrong" with ICON, is the stigma attached to the Harbor Freight brand. And that appears to be dying off rather quickly because of tests like this one.
