I work industrial maintenance and have ran through probably 40 plus brands of nitrile gloves in the last few years. In my opinion nothing beats harbor freights blue 7 mil gloves. Good mix between durability and flexibility for cheaper than most.
Somehow stumbled on your channel and am finding it quite addictive. If you ever make it out to Denver I believe I can give you a run for the best DIY garage you will ever come across!
Love the green and that ratchet drawer in your blue box was killer with the chrome/green/blue! I also love the IR air tools as well, for the price, durability and power its hard to be a them.
Well damn…I was thinking about buying myself a couple but then thought nah, what do I need those for? But this comment re-changed my mind and now I need them hahaa that’s genius.
That's a nice cart setup! I've never seen someone with an open top area, but that makes a ton of sense. My "cart" is so full of tools that it no longer moves easily. So it just sits next to my box. No clue why I even have it lol. You're doing it much smarter
Great video! I love genius tools. I have all their sockets and pry bars. I am 3 years into diesel technician I left my construction job for. I'm curious to learn why you left the career. I love watching your videos keep up the good work!
Really enjoy your channel, being nosy I would love to know what you do now you’ve finished wrenching and what you use all your tools for now. I live in the UK and got into Harleys a few years back………….which was a great excuse to build my SAE tool kit up, I love it!!!
Maybe I’m just unlucky but I have broken 2 gearwrench 3/8 ratchets with not a lot of use, I’ve since been using Proto and Matco and they have served me much better. I work for the railroad so they get used pretty hard.
I appreciate you sharing. That’s great. I haven’t seen your other tour that you mention at the end. I’ll have to search for it. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉. I didn’t know until tonight that you wrenched. I always enjoy your stuff. Thx.
Ive tried a bunch of impact swivel sockets and ive had good luck with the Snap-on/ mac and grey pneumatic. I thought the astro pneumatic would be good and i was wrong. Ive had gearwrench sk and the hobo fart icon.
@@ToolBoxTour the earthquake air ratchet you were showing at 9:32. Mostly just used on brake jobs or other fasteners after I break stuff loose but it definitely saves me time. Thanks for the review of your cart. Definitely enjoy your videos!
Cool vid, brotha! I was also wrenching professionally but had to quit to take care of my kids. So now my matco toolbox, rolling cart, and my harbor freight tool cart just sits in my garage collecting dust. And sometimes when i get bored, i re-organize my tools for no reason. 😂
I left wrenching because my shop closed but I never went back because of my kids. Seems like this industry prides itself on the long drawn out nights and extended hours techs put in to get cars in and out. After being home with my newborn for a few weeks, I knew I couldn’t go back to that life. The video acts like I was annoyed when my kid popped in to show me his Pokémon, but I’m always just as excited as he is when he’s happy. I appreciate you watching!
Astro makes a high flow universal I’ve been switching my old air tool swivels to those along with “V” style high flow couplers made a huge difference along with 1/2” air lines . I have that IR impact, used it today to pull the subframe on my 13 focus. Also I have that IR right 3/8 angle impact and it’s impressive in my opinion. The nano is a beast as well! Have you done a video with some background on yourself? I noticed the ASE sticker o your main box would be interested in your automotive background, if you don’t mind sharing of course.
All my videos are toolbox tours. I may do a live stream here on TH-cam for anyone with questions about me. Not sure when that will be, but I will give everyone a day/time they can tune in. However as far as the ASE sticker goes - I wrenched professionally for about 14 years total.
I think you're the first other person i've ever seen (without deliberately searching) who had and used Genius tools. I was introduced to them when I was in tech school (brand presentation) something like 9-10 years ago and my first major tool haul was their 771pc master set without box. I've been using the majority of that set professionally since, and have had good luck with them. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Great video man, love seeing your stuff as well as all the others, you definitely have a lot of experience behind them so some really cool stuff to see for sure. Keep up the great work man!
Finally a tool box that is used for work and not a "show case" full of never used tools. smart lay out as well. I prefer the slide top over the flip up lid, works better for me (heavy diesel tech for 41 years) Good showing. why quit wrenching may I ask?
The shop I worked for closed down and offered a nice severance. This happened right when my first boy was born. Took some time off, and never went back. I started my own business, but I keep all my tools just incase I ever need to go back to wrenching. I have no worries about finding a place to work. Seems like shops are struggling to find good help these days. Thanks for watching!
You know I bought the icon 1/2 impact swivel expecting it to be junk and only last a month or so but the thing has gone on like 5 months and I have been using it any chance I get just to get it to fail and it hasn’t yet and that’s with working on semis where some of them were hella rusted
I have the exact same one in blue, I want to buy another one I love the sliding top get a little bit more room out of the top. I mounted a harbor freight in side cabinet onto it it matches almost perfectly, I bet if you found the one in Green would be pretty close, makes it a whole different cart
I love what you're doing and especially enjoyed seeing your roll cart. "LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". God forbid you should be running around with a loose "LIKE" button !
@ToolBoxTour i love the fact that it appeared to be the chrome work top!? Thats friggin sweet, i bet its nice to not only have a mobile work cart, but, a mobile work top aswell 🙌🙏💯🔧 i always love watching the videos man. Thatd deffinatly be a nice cart to have! Just as the thumbnail said! Thats a money maker 🤙
Love the content, I regularily watch your videos. I'd have to agree on the pinned vs pinless universial design ontop of the fact that the captive hardware used to retain the pin seems add more bulk to an already bulky socket (and if its not held captive that pin is guaranteed to pop out). Also that prevost opbd201 seems to be a compareable sidestep to the cornwells and such, there is also the astro 3sb40 which seems on par with the others and is slightly cheaper if people really want to watch their wallet seeing most are familiar with the astro name. Final thing is im disappointed I didn't get to find out what pokemon were acquired. 😄 Have a good weekend.
Yeah that does look like a good alternative to the Prevost. The Craftsman is one of the very few options to find a USA made pinless design out there, but the Gearwrench should satisfy most people. And I agree about the captive hardware! Just makes things bulky and in the way. Also - he found an electric type Pokémon haha!
@@ToolBoxTournot to be a hater, but a flip top, that flips up from the front, and stands upright..... Like the cheap harbor freight carts..... It's great for putting a magnet plate and displaying tools. It explodes the functional space of the top portion of the box. I would never want a sliding top like this. You can get magnet racks for all the quarter inch and 3/8 sockets ...and stick them on the flip top lid. And use the entire top level horizontal portion for wrenches and pliers
I don’t think you’re a hater at all! Since I’ve left wrenching, I actually don’t care for the slide top since I can’t open the top without moving it away from the wall. I agree with you 100%. It worked super well for me while I was wrenching professionally though. 💪
Hello can I ask what you currently do for work.? I’m a tech at a dealership but thinking about a different job any suggestions still trying to be In the automotive industry.
If you're doing what everyone else is doing, you will get what everyone else gets. The man who works all day has no time to make money. If you're having fun at work, you'll never have another day of work again. Specialize in something very niche and in high demand that is hard for everyone else to do, it will reward you greatly.
I have those air swivels on almost every single one of my air tools. They are all Cornwell. Just FYI. Cornwell is the only company that will lifetime warranty their swivels. Snap-on one year. Mac one year. There are a few other brands and they are still just one year. The seals inside of them will go bad. But I will say I have not had any go bad yet on the Cornwell. Yet 🤞 now that I said that I'm going to have one go bad Monday😂
Thanks Mark! It served me well. One thing I don’t care for about it.. if you want to open one of the sliding tops, you have to take everything off on top. Sucks if you’re in the middle of a big project and need in there. Newer designs have basically drawers that can be pulled out instead. Thanks for watching Mark!
The real question is… what Pokémon did your son get? 😂 But I’ve been looking at slide top carts for work for the very reason of having a flat surface close by to work on parts, if harbor freight made an equivalent to that they would capitalize so much
7:48.. I bought this Genius set years ago.. they're still kicking butt never an issue with them.. 8:26.. Gloves ☝️ If you work in a shop and they're supplying air buy air tools and use them.. inexpensive and works
Kind of neat seeing someone out 4 years compared to my 22 years. My power draw is nothing but air and cordless drills. My son who also watches the channel works at the same dealer I did and said hardly mo one uses air longer
You should use those x-cores before you recommend them. They are absolute garbage. The pinless matcos are amazing, but the gearwrench x-cores are terrible!! Great video!!
The cart didn't turn a single bolt or screw to make you the money. You did the work to earn that money. Cart sat there and watched you while holding your tools so you did have to walk any where. Cart was just a convenience addition you spent money on.
While this is a very cool video, it also made me feel like I should pay more attention to my kids, because theyre the best thing in my life and i only have so many more years before they grow up. What they think is cool now might not pique my interest, but I already regret every second of their childhood that i let slip by without supporting them😕 Just a random thought, dont mind me
I work industrial maintenance and have ran through probably 40 plus brands of nitrile gloves in the last few years. In my opinion nothing beats harbor freights blue 7 mil gloves. Good mix between durability and flexibility for cheaper than most.
Same here Friend..great price for them & they fit nicely.
Oh that’s cool! I’ll have to give them a shot. Blue 7 mil. Got it!
The hardy brand?
I like ansell touch n tough
thank you so much dude i just started being a tech at a Kubota dealer and always need some help
After watching all your videos of other mechanic's boxes it was cool to see what YOU used to work out of.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love your channel. Thanks for showing your tool cart. If you get bored again would love to see what's in your main box.
Someday 😅. I’m organizing everything, so maybe after that, I will. Thanks for watching!

That ratchet drawer looked positively surgical. Hope we get a tour of that sometime.
Love to see the wear and tear on the cart.
Hopefully I can get it fully organized and I can make a video! Thanks for watching!
Shoutout for the 1/4" Snap On ratchet. That is my favorite tool and I teach all my new guys that its name is Baby Wrench
Yes!! One of my favorite ratchets!
Love the green and that ratchet drawer in your blue box was killer with the chrome/green/blue! I also love the IR air tools as well, for the price, durability and power its hard to be a them.
My buddy keeps those magnetic holders on his lift arms for lug nuts. Works pretty well
It’s surprising how much weight they can handle!

Absolutely. A decent cart like this one is perfect for a 1st year tech.

Oh.. and he caught some sort of electric type 😅
Was looking for a small engine tech box video, but I reckon most of us wouldn’t have as impressive collection. Haha
It’s on the list! I’m sure I’ll get to one soon enough.
how much was your tool bill total after buying all this (rough estimate as i know you didnt pay all at once)
Probably somewhere around $5k for everything including the cart.

Just curious why did you stop wrenching?
Shop I worked for went under about the time my son was born. Took some time off and never went back.
Those Genius wrenches are a good recommendation. Amazon doesn't have them currenty, but on APEX tools they're $96 for the set.

You should use those x-cores before you recommend them. They are absolute garbage. The pinless matcos are amazing, but the gearwrench x-cores are terrible!! Great video!!
😯 Good to know! Thanks for the heads up!
Do you have a website or facebook account where people (viewers) can share pictures with you of their tool cart/box setups?
I’m thinking about putting together a discord or some way for this community to share their setups.
But you can always message me on instagram @toolboxtours or send an email toolboxtour@gmail.com
What’s in the red box?
That’s my “home box” before I took all my professional tools home. However I’m currently organizing all my toolboxes get everything how I want them.
Why did you get out of wrenching? What do you fo now.
The shop I worked at closed down right when my son was born so I took some time off. Never went back. I have an e-commerce business that I run now.
