Tool Box Tour - Don’t Waste Your Hard Earned Money

Here I show you arguably the most used drawers in a mechanics tool box. The top drawer is the most used and my second drawer is right behind it. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on Snap-On, Mac Tools, Matco and Cornwell.
Don’t get me wrong, I have some of those brands. I pick them up when I can at pawn shops and yard sales. But they’re not an absolute must. Most of the hand tools Pittsburgh sells has a lifetime warranty, just have to drive to Harbor Freight.

You can get the magnetic trays from Harbor freight now

Thanks for showing us the top and second drawer--those guys look like they've seen a lot of use!

[@rschreck876]

Damn. I kind of want to buy you a set of Snap On ratchets…

[@that80guy16]

It’s like buying him a really good steak

[@williampaskewitz5383]

Excellent kit. Looks like you are very well outfitted

[@thebackwoodsmechanic5029]

I worked in the shop for years. Used the best and the box stores. Quality is different, but overall performance compared to warranties aren't far apart these days . 10 years ago, the options were limited .

[@teresaallen3045]

Boxes or tool chests don't need spend ten grand on chest when you can get one just as good fraction cost

[@darrenporsch]

Nice to see you have a mix If the tools get the job on for you that's all that matters I prefer to buy American if I can with there's no way I pay tool truck prices. I like Proto they're not big enough automotive the more industrial to every bit as good as snap-on for a third of the quarter of the price same thing Williams USA made stuff cuz Snap-on owner's Williams but Williams is there industrial brand

Those ratchets look horrible. I got some gear wrench and they are incredibly easy to turn. Makes for less fatigue. I like your sockets tho

[@michaelmannon8765]

I will agree, a nice wratchet is definitely worth it. I’ve got a lot of harbor freight tools but have my wratchets from matco

[@Iateyoursister]

These ratchets are trash

[@ihavethedocuments2580]

Oh come on. Nothing wrong with his ratchets, not every professional uses snap on.

[@ihavethedocuments2580]

This is what a pro's box looks like; not some collector with a bucket full of pristine high end stuff that never gets used.

[@Iateyoursister]

@@ihavethedocuments2580 you are correct but I mean he should save his knuckles

[@COBRO98]

@@Iateyoursister Lol I've been using the same 3/8's pittsburgh ratchet for 5 years daily, paid like $7 for it. I guess no one taught you how to use tools properly, good thing you have money to waste.

@@COBRO98 bro those ratchets barely be used you’re talking out of your rear end you’re not a real mechanic you’re just a diy
