I've been following the channel for quite a while now and I knew coming from an auto background you'd be blown away in a diesel shop. This is the tour I've been waiting for personally. It was definitely a great one to introduce you to heavy duty shops.
It was an eye opener forsure! I appreciate you watching!
I love the fact that i drove past that shop 2 weeks ago and am now seeing their toolbox
Nice kid! He’s off to a great start and I wish him tons of success!
Good luck to him and i hope he does well in the trade but i hope younger mechanics watching this video don't think they need to spend SOOO much money on Snap-On or other high end brand boxes let alone 2 boxes and a trolley. I'm a mechanic of 7 years and some how still using a 42" roll cab that i got when i first started.
Yeah, I really hope it inspires some younger guys to join the field. It sure needs more techs! Thanks for watching Jordan!
Mad respect to this kid! I started as a tech at 19 and just now in my 30s did I go overboard on the tool trucks... I hope he plays it smart. I think he will.
As a mechanic for freightliner I believe invest in your career makes the job much easier and faster. Many may not agree in spending so much in tools or toolbox but if its for the rest of your life or your career worth every penny
What a nice dude with an amazing tool collection.
Yeah a genuine guy with a good work ethic. Hard to come by anymore!
I have a friend here in the uk who is HVM mechanic and this is very similar to his collection A lot of the same tools and very humble guys in the trade. Keep up the great work man. Would it be possible if you can find one for a classic vehicle box tour? Thanks again and great video!
I will try to find one! Thanks for watching!
I was looking forward to your video since this morning Friend! Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thank you for your time and video!
This video was meant to come out this morning.. had some technical difficulties with my editing software 😫. Thanks for watching Alfred!
@@ToolBoxTour Have a nice rest of your evening and looking forward to your next video!
✌🕶🔧
Great video! I’d love to see a Heavy Equipment box tour in the future! That’s where the big tools really are!
I’ll try to find one at some point!
My job is a machinist so I have a lot of tool my self I filled a 42 inch harbor freight roller cart with tools/ measuring tools.
Awesome set up Lyle 👌🏻
Well invested in the trade, glad to see it.
Nice setup Lyle! Great to see other heavy duty diesel setups. The camera work was great! Lyle if you see this I'd suggest the Lisle 42400 Air line disconnect tools. They are handy for all sorts of sizes of airlines
I might get a set of them didnt know them were a thing
Im also a big fan of just cutting the airline and switching the fitting to a compression fitting 😂
@@lylebarlow2101 yeah not a bad idea, had a factory push in in the frame rails pop out in the middle of the night coming down a mountain, luckily I was close to home and my dad brought me a compression fitting to get it fixed
1st. Trying to build out my toolset as a forklift mechanic and these videos really help!
KG Lift Villa Park IL
I’m glad they help. Thanks for watching!
He has a hell of a nice setup. Great interview with him.
Thanks Matt! I appreciate you watching !
I'll be looking in the future to request you to come out and check out a apprentice set up in a shop that does all heavy kine from Cat 980 loaders to peterbilts down to shuttle buggy 3000 asphalt machine , really like this kids set up gave me some good pointers on tools
I have that exact cart and absolutely love it
Which one - hf or Cornwell?
Very knowledgeable and thanks for your tour leaned alot 👍👍👍👍
I really need that cart to match my box 😂😂
Get it!!
@@ToolBoxTour I’m split between that or an epiq cart, but I really need that power drawer lol
Nice set of tools, I just hope he didn't go into a lot of debt getting them. I might get castrated for saying this but in my opinion, for most young mechanics just starting out, there is nothing wrong with going with a cheap setup be it Harbor Freight, Craftsman, whatever to get the ball rolling. I have seen to many new guys go thousands into debt when just starting out and end up making the equivalent of a car payment for the next 10 years. Especially when many of them don't stay in the trade for long.
Wait until you see what's used for construction equipment technician. I work for Deere C &F large commercial construction equipment
This poor guy will never see the light of day for all the debt he’s carrying.
yeah incredibly stupid move i had alot of tools from over the years but when i became i mechanic i lacked some things so i borrowed everything and everything bought it cash now im stacked but i started a truck account with snap on and matco i keep them under 600 and pay them off at random
How much debt are you In: yes
I’m honestly surprised some one has Milwaukee sockets and just doesn’t bash them just because of their name etc etc. a lot of sockets and i mean a lot of brands have great sockets. Specially something like sunex and GP but yet people spring for the 2-3x more expensive snap on when they’re well known for being very very soft. I had my dealer told me the mushroomed socket must be broken in order to warranty the snap on socket if it’s just work out that’s just the “typical life span” of the socket as my snap on rep told me.
Given a 1/2 drive socket set is 550.00 for ONE set and my father and my other co worker have snap on from years and years and years ago and they have broken but just worn right out yeah no thanks but snap on sockets not for me . Snap on makes stuff worth wild no doubt but price per chances of using the warranty and getting money from it sockets to me are a no thank you
Your snap-on rep lied to you. There is no such thing as “typical life span” of their tools in regards to their warranty. You can just call their warranty phone number and they will take care of you. It’s very easy and quick turn around. The reason snap-on tools are so expensive is not just because of their quality, but also the warranty. Either way, thanks for watching!
God damn this kid is set
Right?? He’s ready to go!
UTI kid no doubt lol snap on everything and zero experience. Wait until u start loosing some of those crome sockets. Then I'll grow up and get cheap ones like us guys that have been doing this. While
What the hells a “UTI kid” I’ve been doing this for 3 years almost every 1 1/2 full time started out sweeping floors in this shop
Man, he's gonna be paying these tool trucks until he's 95 years old. He got that much debt at 19 they gonna be selling him tools every week until he's retired. Lol
snap on is such a scam
Who makes those flashlight
Milwaukee makes the one in his power drawer.
Mf got such a good colllection
At 19 years old I didn't have any tools let alone nothing like this guy.
Success is a combination of determination and environmental luck. There is no need to compare yourself to others.
@@markm0000best comment, couldn’t of said it better.
Tools don’t make the tech my friend
It’s called daddy’s money
@@MilitaryAVif you were a betting man you would be losing money
I’m 63 and retired as a professional heavy duty technician, and still collecting tools and drives my wife insane !!! It’s in your blood young man
The reason he probably can afford these tools is that he’s not paying a student loan off😅
Seriously though, I hope he’s not going into too much debt on the tool truck, because that really crashes a lot of young mechanics early in their career. You don’t have to have every single tool you see, pay as you go.
Our education system has done a disservice to the country's youth by pushing college. I am in my 70s now and did go to college because I needed it to do what I wanted to do. But we had great vocational programs at my high school that served many well. Those seem to be disappearing.
But I had no student debt to speak of either. Started college a year late to save some money, worked part time and even dropped out for a year and a half o work full time just so there was no debt when I was done. So I finished 2 years later than my high school mates, which is nothing years down the road.
I mean if he's living at home, driving his first car and not knocked any girls up by this point he's got single man money to burn. I wish I had spent that "Single man money" I had on my tools. instead of blowing it on lifted trucks and guns.
@@elmoz71ls15right spent my single mans money on trucks, guns, girls, drugs, and booze. Now married with 2 kids and a house. I was dumb and never even took advantage of the 50% snap-on discount for being a student. I was smart and didn't do what most do and buy a big ass box with no tools to go in it I I spent my money on tools first and bought a cheap kobalt box(with stereo and mini fridge 🤣) which lasted me about 8 yrs before buying by first snap on box I did go to college only for an AS tho(which some don't consider real college) cause Caterpillar offered a fully paid scholarship program all I had to pay for was living and books it was accelerated course got AS in one yr cause we would rotate between paid internship at CATERPILLAR dealer ship started with two months school then two months OJT in dealer and repeat for 2 yrs which is about 1yr OJT 1yr in class school and u get AS in diesel technology and also caterpillar specific degrees came out with certification with two different a/c cert a BS forklift cert, weld certs and bunch of miscellaneous CAT specific certs. Two yrs after graduating journeyed out and received a national journeyman's card. Continued working for CAT 10-11 yrs then quit when CAT/ my dealer partnered with international went to do my own mobile mechanics then COVID hit which squashed that now the soul mechanics managing and maintaining a fleet of 35+trucks and 47+ trailers for semi local company ironically literally across the street from the cat dealer I worked for....first job that after the interview they asked me to let them know what I decide rather then them tell me they let me know what they decide.
Edit: not sure why I just went into almost a full job resume 🤣just got caught up in the flow of it 🤣
fr, as a 21 year old i have a decent amount of tools and owe snapon less than $500 at any time.
I suppose I have much less $ in my collection of tools but have more tools. But I didn't buy many off the tool trucks because I couldn't afford them. They just are not good enough for the price. I can buy most Knipex tools for almost half price of the tool truck at my local hardware store! I bought probably 40 knipex pliers, cutters, and such from the local hardware store last year. They gave me really good prices. I can also get good proto and wright tools and Klein and NWS and PI, Tiger tools, K&D and so many other tools that have served me well. Some of the tools i regret buying most are the Milwaukee hand tools. The 3/4" cornwell impact sockets were also a bad buy. Im not saying the cornwell impact sockets are junk, but I have found much cheaper sockets that are better. Often Its not hard to find out who makes the name brand tools and buy the same thing for cheaper. Like the very same identical Irwin and Matco tap and die set can be a couple hundred dollars difference in price.
Gotta admire this young man’s passion for the industry I’ve been working on heavy equipment for 33 years it’s refreshing to see someone that enthusiastic about tools and his job thanks for sharing your passion for tools of the industry also love the videos keep up the good work 👍🏻
33 years? Wow, you’ve been in it for a while. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely flawless setup,filled with quality brand tools ready to get tha job done! Gotta say another sick toolbox tour for books!🔥💯
Thanks Edward!
What a serious level of tooling for such a young man. I similarly bought quality tools starting at 16 but had nowhere near the amount of gear this guy has at the same age.
Good look to him and hope he has a great career.
I started with a small carry around 3 drawer craftsman box at 16. But man, when that tool bug hits, it hits HARD 😅.
@ToolBoxTour definitely. I think once you get a taste for those premium tools it's hard to say no to them
Tool trucks don’t say no
I had a Stanley 145 piece tool kit when I was his age lol. Good on this kid. Hopefully he’s making great money from it!
Same lol, nowadays my box ain't big and my tools are cheap but the get the job done
@@pompatj5845harbor freight will do the same job. their hand tools anyways. i like using name brand power tools tho but if you’re not using them for everyday use harbor freight power tools will be just fine but their hand tools are great and alot of them have life time warranty’s if it breaks just walk into the store and get another one if this guys breaks he’s gotta wait weeks to get another one. you could break 7 sockets to for the price of his 1 never understood the snap on hype tbh
Quite a collection, especially for such a young man. Best wishes to him in the future.
I'm always surprised by how much Cornwell stuff is on this channel. I live in the most densely populated area of the USA and Snap On totally owns it. I haven't seen a Cornwell, Mac, or Matco truck since probably the 1990s!
Cornwell doin good in Nashville they got my business I only got to snap on for certain things
That's too bad, because they all make some very nice tools that are much more affordable than Snap-on. I loved my Mac Tech Series roll cab and my cornwell tool cart. Lots of Matco Silver Eagle tools, never had a problem with any of it using it all day every day.
$2k spent on 2 sets of 1/4" drive sockets... That's madness! The poor kid will be in debt forever. Good luck getting a mortgage when the bank looks at your outgoings.
When I was 19 I was working at national parks with a serious drug habit waking up every morning smelling like what I drank the night before. This young man has a very solid head on his shoulders. Investing in his career and his future. Very intelligent
Lol I almost lost it when he said the set skipped 15/16 bro if you work on semis you know how important that size is. Literally damn near every bolt on a semi is 15/16 why would you make an oversized wrench set and not have that size
Ya i know i seen them at harbor freight and have always wanted an 1 1/6 and 1 1/8 ratchet and seen the smallest size. i got home and looked at them all and seen it didnt have 15/16 and was like wtf
Will be in debt forever...
19 and in lifetime debt 😩
I’m 19 my 15k debt was paid in 6 months… you do the math and get good at your job lol
@@That1SierraHD let me guess no kids? And no mortgage payment? No car payment? I’m good at what I do but thanks either way 💀
Wow.... what a great kid. Too bad more kids aren't as thoughtful and polite as him.
This is a very well rounded young man, props to him so far in his journey. Great tool setup and thanks for the tour as always 💯
Amazing young man.
You’re off to a good start and I’m guessing your dad was a great influence and mentor.
Awesome tour and a crazy set of tools for someone so young. He seems knowledgeable and I hope he has a good future ahead of him with those tools. Keep up the great work man!
I can only IMAGINE how much debt he is in… “starting his career off right” 😂
Agreed
I can tell this is a Hard Working Man that dose good work. Keep it up Sir.
I call it your having a bad day drawer. Props to this kid. And I found the new name for this drawer. I always called it. I didn't want to use this box.
How does he afford all that at his age?
This kid really knows his stuff. He will probably own this shop or one like it in a few years.
I wouldn’t doubt it one bit.
I wish I had gotten an opportunity like this young man when I was his age. I'm not complaining now, but when I was 20 years old I started working in a chemical plant which was decent and I still do it 32 years later..(not the same plant)... but diesel mechanic isn't a bad start....👍
He’s forsure on the correct path!
Great video surprise you have not gotten a female technician to show off there tool box.
Another great video. If you’re ever in New Mexico come and tour my box
Damn, and here I am doing the same job as him at 18 years old with DeWalt ToughSystem 2.0 carts 😂
I’m a 19 year old autobody tech and honestly thought I had it really good. He’s got mine beat by a long shot lol
I could be wrong here, but I think those drill bits are actually made by Astro Pneumatic. They sell them under their own brand but only in HSS, not cobalt.
Man that kid has a ton of tools
Must have a 6 figure bill with snap on
Anybody have a ballpark on how much he spent on these tools and boxes?
Ive spent a lot of
Tools are like cars, boats and houses theyll put you in debt in a blink of a eye but youll never get your return back like ya expected
Ya but if your smart youll never need to get rid of them
Being a transmission guy i like his comment transmission are easy
For 19 I am impressed!
Awesome video. As a heavy diesel tech I love seeing other's setups.
Very nice collection of tools and a very polite humble mechanic there. I am sure he is valuable to the business.
I would definitely recommend a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter for the Milwaukee 1/2 2767, I have both the Milwaukee 1/2 and 3/4 and find the 1/2 will get wheel bolts undone much faster than the 3/4 in the same scenario.
But I do recommend having both the guns because it’s handy when you have an apprentice to lend them the 3/4 and you can get the 1/2 for doing a different wheel.
Coming from a field service tech who doesn’t rely on air tools, Milwaukee is a godsend.
I also bought the sawzall for a completely different reason, primarily I bought it for cutting through rubber drive tracks on tractors, but found myself using it for cutting bushes and bearings when I can’t fit an angle grinder or torch
I think a lot of new mechanics are kinda duped into the snap on mystique and financing. To each their own, but I think there are better/cheaper ways to go.
Wow that’s a lot of stuff lots of doubles of stuff that’s good to have I hope he isn’t financing all that stuff on the trucks he could be in trouble but he seems to have a good head
2 thousand on basic sockets 😂😂😂
Madness!
At 19 i had a walmart stanley set of sockets and on set of basic craftsman wrenches😂 did alot with those few things now as an official mechanic i got alot of shit. Nowhere near this guy though
You should make a Trip to Jackson's Diesel In Maxton, NC , You can get a Real Tour of a Real Tool Box and A lesson on Heavy Trucks Parts and Equipment used.
As a diesel tech this was cool to watch but to answer your question typically in the diesel field most shops are hourly, it really just depends on the shop but it’s more often hourly then flat vs the automotive field
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up
Awesome video from such a young man with a huge future in his industry. Awesome to see younger people really going at a career full speed ahead.
2k for any number of 1/4" sockets seems liike insanity to me. The Icons are fine and for short and deep would have been less than 150 bucks for metric and standard.
to be in debt for the next 6 years 🤣. that much money i could get all of husky tools for less than
Started out at 19 first job was diesel mechanic (6gr welder now) I’m 22 now and still don’t have as many tools lol
What was the total cost?! 🤯
Starting out right would mean not playing the tool truck game. Overpriced over hyped. They don't call one the strap on man for nothing.
What a seriously bright future this dude has, at that rate he will be running his own shop in no time.
I've been in the heavy equipment field for 4 years and he has more snappy than me 😂
The level of debt as someone who is also his age is stress inducing. Im soon to be going into the automotive industry myself and I refuse to pay tool truck prices. I cannot justify the cost especially as an entry level tech
This kid has a bright future! So great to see!
Nice young man! What he spoke, he knows what he is talking about. Great start to his career. Thank you for the tour, Lyle. Get a couple XXL fender washers, or a 6" piece of flat stock for the caging bolt. You mentioned dump trucks, and they usually go into limestone quarries. The chamber shell sometimes gets rotted and that little washer caves it in. Yeah, I owned trucks for 18 years, LOL!
Thanks!
He’s madly in love with it and I hope he stays that way
That Cornwell toolbox is nice 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
I’m too shrimp to work on cars or trucks, but this guy makes me want to spend $100,000 on tools just to look at 👀
In uk toolboxes are not like this my bosses toolbox is the same size as this guys and hes been a mechanic for 25 years
Boys only just started earning and is indebted for years 😅 good on him! Best of luck
never understood the snap on height when there is brands that’ll do the same shit just as good if not better and be just as stout for half the price
I started with Cummins with a $90 toolbox in '81.
It makes me want to leave my machinist job and work on semi trucks.
The amount of times they dinged the box made me sick
I work on semi trailers we typically use just about the same tools over and over no need for speciality tools ive just got what they give me in the tool plan and what i have from past jobs and slowly expanding my tools i was just talking to a guy about the same cornwell box he has in the video im really tempted on getting one
You should! They’re a lot bigger than they look. Tons of room!
This is a legit setup and job💯💯💯
would you recommend the quin master sets or tekton master sets? Im a college Tten student and still trying to figure what i should buy. metric or sae, whjat tool and so on. thinking i should follow your video as my starting stuff
Id recommend tekton and depending on what field you go into you will want to learn harder one or the other with sae or metric cars and pickups are metric. semis are a lot standard the new the more metric fasteners you will find
the icons are identical to the old snapon wobbles. i bought all the snapon ones in 2000 and in 01 and i bought the icons recently for the service truck to try them out and they are the best wobble out there for the money. theyre the same as the cornwell blue power. the new snap on pinless are nicer but if u dont have 4000 bucks to shell out for impact wobbles u cant beat the icon.
I have both snapon and icon and cornwell.
Same air hammer I got 😂, as I said last video hands down best air hammer.
Never judge a man by the size of his tool box.
Hope he isn’t going into mass debt to have a box like that!
Been a tech for over 20 years and blown away with how expensive tools are on the trucks now.
I always suggest buying used boxes
The box was used paid 5000$ for it
