Stay tuned for more crazy!
"I'm telling yah people" Matt is always a salesman haha
He is in the business of sellin stuff... But I think he truly does enjoy the 'legit' stuff and he wants us to know about it.
I knew Koken was good, but that was impressive sales job there.
“We had it on the drawing board for a long time” SURE hahahahahaah
Talk about kids in a candy store, always good content some really cool stuff/solutions. I had a stubborn drain valve that failed on my old Devilbiss air compressor and locking pliers, other brand slip joints did nothing but strip the rusted valve more. I finally realized I had an unused set of Knipex Cobra pliers,took off the valve with ease, German-made quality got the job done, superb pliers.
The 72 tooth koken z ratchets are THE ratchets these days. Even all the tool truck KZheadrs praise the kokens for their strength and back drag. The kicker is koken is innovative unlike tool truck brands and you don’t get the BS pricing either. The nut grip sockets and wobble extensions are great too and you need to get your hands on them.
EGO needs to make a 110v adapter option for that wet/dry vac. It would be awesome to be able to have it plugged in when in the garage, and then take it anywhere on battery power. They would sell a ton of them.
It's that time of the year again, so excited on what you find and who you meet
Every man on the planet needs a Knipex pliers wrench. Essential kit
Can't wait for the Knipex deep dive! They really are the best.
Love this coverage! Some of those hand tools look amazing.
Appreciate all the deep dives into these products, can't wait for all the fire sales!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Love that torque wrench with the removable head and easy calibration. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THEM AND ADD TO THE STORE IF THEYRE OG APPROVED
Great to have Tommy and Kyle on this year’s show commentary. 👍
Ha. 44:03 when Matt says that Ego should just call him on what products to make - the Flex sales dude is just silent, doesn't even know who you are or the real reason as to why they have the stubby nozzle.
10/10 cringe
The Koken ratchets are legit and the nut grip sockets are super handy
I think Koken gives the best quality to dollar ratio out there. Also, cost aside, the quality and innovation is simply outstanding. Carefully examine the machine work, it is flawless.
Did I hear possibly building a silence box for pressure washers? I’m in!
The only sema videos I watch, keep it up, looking forward to the next one.
The Knipex Plier Wrench has taken the place of the adjustable wrench and has made them even more useless than they already were. You need to try them out.
Love your SEMA content!
Thanks for saving us a trip there. Great coverage.
That was fun. Also pretty cool. That Rupes polisher is extremely cool. Wow. I want one.
I’ve been swapping all my ratchets and sockets to the Koken Z series, it’s precise and gooood. I love it
Good Day 1 Content! Keep it coming.
Always enjoy these SEMA tours. As a German rule of thumb there are no silent letters. The e in Porsche can be used as a guide for these other names like Witte.
Good stuff!
Hey I’m not knocking what you like in tools but I have been a professional mechanic for 25 years and nobody I know on a professional level uses any of those tools. My opinion I would stay away from the goofy torq wrenches. Look at cdi instruments or precision torque tools.
15 minutes before the positivity kicks in so hang in there folks LOL
SEMA vlog time lets go, we need a roasting video after 😂
I think this was an awesome video of the new products. didn't sit there and elaborate about your company keeping it simple. And you go for the difference quality brands not the generic b.s. brands. I can see your a company of quality. I enjoy watching your shows keep up the great content 👌 👍
That’s cool Kyle is there this year!
The Stallville torque wrenches really caught my eye
43:47 Grab that thing, get that thing!
According to Jason's video over at CSW, the EGO portable pressure washer sprayer has communicating capabilities controlling the on/off functionality. In OG sense this sucks because the OEM sprayer is an integral part to how this unit works. Honestly though, I'd take this over the Worx Hydroshot I currently use at my rental property simply because the electric cable is integrated with the janky hose and makes it difficult to get away from my detailing cart. At least with the EGO it appears you can upgrade/choose whatever hose you want to use, which is in line somewhat with what OG stands for. This unit would be a perfect option for apartment dwellers that do not have access to running water but want a decent washing experience!
I’ll dig into it soon once mine arrives.
11:45 gedore is a big name in Europe. Got a complete tool cart in my workspace. Good quality. Strong but slim design.
I bought some Koken wobble-fix extensions and the quality is superb.
I’ve bought A couple of the Koken tools for work I’m currently trying to see if I can beat them to hell so far I’m pretty impressed. again I got a small little ratchet that I believe has a half inch drive head on it which is great for doing spark plugs on flat six cylinder engines.
Carly knows her stuff. Looks like her dad is the older bloke. I love my Koken gear
Yep, Jim is her dad.
Did you notice they updated HLR75’s trigger? Nice to see that.
Matt at sema “its all junk” haha
that's it matt, screw the cars it's all about the products.
You should check out the Barra powered Toyota Cresta on the Valvoline stand, Benny is from Australia & just won his Drag racing class at Rocky Mountain Race week.
Super excited for the cordless Rupes machines. Eager to see the pricing once that info is released.
Will be released as a kit in the beginning with two batteries, charger, I think 6 pads and two small bottles of their polish and compound - similar to the iBrid Nano kit. The kit will be in the ~ $900 range. No mention of pricing of the tool, 2 batteries, charger, direct cord without the pads/polish since most of us don’t need it. This was briefly mentioned on the The Rag Company SEMA 2023 Day 1 live stream
What is your guess on the price of the new cordless Rupes polisher??
@@eurospec905 Awesome, thanks for this info! I agree that the kit with the tool, 2 batteries, charger and direct cord is what a majority of people will need.
@@KiaTia09 For the tool, 2 batteries, charger and direct cord, I would like to see a $700-$800 price range. Like @eurospec905 mentioned, the kit including pads and polishes will be ~$900 so I feel that 7-800 for the bare kit would be a good price.
@@unrealorbitagree
I loved when you just walked away from the Beta rep when she walked up and started talking 😅
Dude reminds me of Howard Stern. No problem with your opinions. Great freakin tools.
25:53 agreed that Werther looks like a very slick unit!
Matt and the boys delivering a very different SEMA experience...like a heat seeker after all the new innovating tool tech. The Griot"s stinky be gone...wouldn't that be an amine to break down aromatic benzene compounds?
SEMA once again prepares for OG
Good content as always, but without the goofy cars, we wouldn't have these cool products to drool over and buy to use. Keep it coming.
Nice video
Man I never heard of Koken till a mechanic I follow on yt talked about it and now Matty is all up in it and I want em bad!!
That Sub looks beautiful Matt! Still need to watch rest f the video but just wanted to say ❤️
Oooh koken
Can you say the name of the manufacturer when you get to the booth
30:47 the werther looks interesting 👌
I'm pretty pumped about it. I have a meeting with them today.
Matt: We're not here for the stupid cars. Look bungee cords! lol I swear SEMA should hire Matt to review every product there it would be HILARIOUS.
2:49 my dad was telling me years ago there was a company trying to break through the market that would pick up cars like that it’s basically just your average motorized Front order picker.
Have fun dude
16:09 LOL
What ratchet had his name on it?
Matt, You need the knipex cobra full set !
What is the equivalent brand/model to the Tekton Rousseau they were talking about?
That silent compressor looks to be a rebranded emax/eaton/polar air
What is that stamping under the handles on the Rousseau blue and black toolbox? Looks like model numbers for each drawer?
It's their logo. I would order without the logo.
Bought Milwaukee 15 and 21 on june, now im goinna sell em and get those ibrids :)
@@RichardLongh they are great tools but on the heavy side and vibrates a bit more. I am sure these Rupes ibrid's will be the best battery powered polishers.
18:42 Oh man that torque wrench is a game changer
Something about hold the balls tighter and nut grip. Thats about all I remember 😂
Oh man... with Black Friday sales coming up and after watching this video, I'm wondering if I should hold off on cabinets and wait until OG carries Rousseau. GAH such a nail biter!
Slip a little footage of the new Toyota Tacoma. Good stuff.
When can we preorder the rupes 15mm battery polisher ?
Detailed image has it online already. Won’t ship till February.
Are you gana cover harbor freight? I want to see some coverage
Lol
MURAD form Toronto 🇨🇦👋👌🤘🏻
Any new truck wheels?? Might move away from Methods.
Who's makes those work benches
PRI*** (stupid auto correct)is where the real cool automotive products get revealed
Are Rousseau cabinet better than Sonic MSS+ ?
I don’t think better, just different.
10:03 wait what? 😂 not the same
Tekton cab is made in 🇨🇦
4:40.. strain relief and grip for coupling/decoupling.. This dude..."completely foolish"... Okay 👍 🤭 9:55.. they ARE made in Canada with Canadian steel... 14:20... the lowest back drag, smoothest ratchet you can get...Koken ratchets are great
The bungees are at Home Depot
Just imagine you bought the Milwaukee Polisher 2 weeks ago, didn't even use it and now Matt tells you Rupes is better .... arghhhh
I'm perfectly happy with my Milwaukee. Rupes has had them in the works for years... and they still aren't out. If these are not better than the battery powered 3", I wouldn't change just yet.
👍 Knipex 🇩🇪
I don't think you need to spend too much time at Grip-on, we have them here in Canada and they are nothing too special.
I'm interested in the ego vacuum
Saw a video on KZhead recently. Needs better attachments.
will the vacuum over heat like my mower?
@@timkinley1779I will have to go search for that - was keenly intrigued by the EGO since I am all in on their lawn equipment. Up until now I was considering the Ryobi cordless vac that mounts on their Link wall system.
Matts bank account must HURT after sema hahaha
Ha, ha... Yep, already order Koken and now working on Stahlwille and Knipex.
This guy is sooooooo cocky though. Going to the booth FLEX booth saying that the stuff is junk and they really need to consult him before they build stuff.
Go home then. This is Matt.
I only say what is so.
He calls a spade a spade. The market adjusted to much of what he pioneered. No arguing that.
@@RichardLongh the stubby extension in the blowers was big in his part and while I think people may have been using leaf blowers before that it did become more popular because of him it seems. Having matching bottles with customs labels. Short guns with wands became more popular. Water filtration became more known Pressure washer info became more available and better pressure washers for detailing emerged. If you just look at what Adams polishes does it is a clear example that they copy what OG is doing in many ways.
You're wrong about that. I met him at SEMA and was open for a quick chat. His advice helped my business Pearl's Auto Recon get started with product advice so I didn't waste money on poor-quality equipment.
No Bauer?
Not this year.
Matt is the kind of guy that goes to an NFL game to see the cheerleaders. 😁 There are plenty of custom cars but Matt only have eyes to cabinets tools and polishers 🤨
Silly analogy. SEMA is a show for exhibiting products. If anything, the cars would be akin to the cheerleaders of SEMA.
@@dommy114 Did you really call out someone that did a "type of guy" clitche? Who tf still does those? Save your typing.
This is the same guy who said he could be a mechanic today but mechanics couldn’t do his job. When I ask what his diagnostic process is and what he would use for ecm program and updates……..🦗🦗🦗🦗
Anyone can be a mechanic. Anyone can’t do what I do.
@@ObsessedGarage I’ll ask again. What is your diagnostic process and what are you using for programming and updates? Bet it’s 🦗🦗🦗 again. Educate yourself before making stupid ignorant comments.
@@ObsessedGarage 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
They have had the stubby in the pipeline but this is only a prototype? I call global BS. Why not just say they watch what OG does and developed a product to fill a need they weren’t aware of until Matt showed everyone.
Beta tools are for ginzos who think their fiat is a Ferrari it's all rebranded junk available cheaper under different names
“WIHA is not it” - wth? Gedore - you’re a bit late to the game if ya don’t have any. Try the following if you’re that behind… HAZET STAHLWILLE WERA PB SWISS KNIPEX VESSEL VAMPLIERS/ENGINEER TSUNODA And cheer tfu!
Ha, ha... I didn't have the bandwidth and funds to chase this until now. Wiha is not good.
Grip on vicegrips are awful
Yeah, they don’t appeal to me.
I understand that people love Knipex, but the handles man, I need some good handles in my life, surely they can do better than that.
They have different handles. Comfort grips are the best.
Snap On?
my gosh you don't know what a pawl is , terribe
Ha…. Can’t know everything.
You are only here for the products? I'm here for products too. But so far all I've seen is you criticizing everything and making snide comments. I'm gone.
Ha… okay
selfish video.
Ha, ha... What?
