    I am so happy to hear that manufactures are reaching out to make improvements. never stop doing these!
  • @ZzzRoofus
    This is one of the few channels that holds manufacturers accountable for their products. That's why they reach out and it's good to hear you're one of the few people in this world actually making a difference for everyone on a large scale. Thanks for everything you do.
  • @natep1661
    Don't ever buy anything without checking PF 1st.
  • @kaboom362
    Having used flex head ratchets in tight clearance areas, I think the direction switch tightness is a good thing. It can minimize unwanted switching.
  • @bigfuzzy84
    The fact that tool makers contact you and reference your channel is a huge compliment. With people working together, we can seriously make so many things better for everyone.
  • I love how you keep your videos "mean and clean". Straightforward without fluff. And I appreciate how you refrain from editorializing all the time.
  • Dude. How cool is that? You have manufacturers reaching out to you in order to see how they can improve. Todd, you are invaluable Sir. Thank you for the videos. This channel is legit my go to 🙏🏼
  • @legend917906
    Something to note, even though it may be more difficult to change directions with a greasy finger... If you're pushed tight against something else, a harder directional switch is better. If the back of the ratchet is against a plastic panel, having it suddenly change from loosen to tighten can be an issue. So the force needed to change that being higher isn't necessarily a bad thing
  • @MATTP545
    Exciting to hear the manufacturers take these types of review testing seriously. Customers are surely benefitting from your work. VERY IMPRESSIVE! Thanks again for another great one!
  • Thank you for including tekton. For someone who lives in Alaska, their warranty process (only requiring photos for replacement) is great at saving money on shipping.
  • @omorin34
    Thank you. I love my GW 120 and 90. I love it when your teats confirm my opinion.
  • @LukeTheJoker
    Always impressed to see you breaking some high quality "Dream" tools to see their real limits.
  • I appreciate all the criteria you test. It allows end users to purchase based on their particular needs. I’ve been subscribed for years and I will always search your videos before buying something new. The double stick tape test has been the most useful to me. I use the winner frequently. Thanks again Todd.
  • @polishtom
    I just started building up my tools collection, so I'm quite grateful for your videos. Thank you so very much for all the work you put into them.
  • @M--76
    It's not just the fact that carrying out these tests makes this channel amazing but simply having the creativity and mechanical aptitude to even think of these tests. Really a great channel!
  • When you have tool companies using you channels for research and development you know your doing it right keep up the great work love the videos
  • @mrnharvey1
    Your work on tools and equipment is second to none, in evaluation and description. I have watched many of your videos and they are most excellent, thank you..👍
  • Been using my icon non stop for about 4 months now and its been absolutely fantastic! For the price plus the warranty you cant beat it.
