Some vernier calipers are very handy. Also feeler guages. You can get by without some of these items, but if you can't accurately measure things you're stuck wondering if things are in spec.
Awesome stuff, a couple things I have slightly different, instead of having a full set of nut drivers, I just bought a couple of 1/4 and 3/8 drive drivers that I can pop on whatever socket I need, I also bought a set of t handle drivers and a set of toed and Allen bits, and welded them to the drivers, so I have a full set of torx and Allen T Handles, handy since I work on KTMs and Harley Davidsons.

Awesome video as usual!🤙🏻 only thing I feel like was left out was feeler gauge. I always refer to you guys to figure out what kinds of things my shop needs🤘🏻
Thanks for showing Snap On tools, most guys say they are way too expensive but they work perfectly and don't break down like other tools. Also, the Snap On tools that I purchased even 30 years ago are worth the same amount of money as new ones now. They never decline in value and they work perfectly - I can always count on my Snap On tools, can't say that for the other tool manufacturers. Great show, Jay.
I feel the same way. When you have 2000$ in nuts and bolts on a bike. I'm not going to put a harbor freight socket on it, I'm sorry. You get what you pay for.
Jay, thanks for sharing. I have nearly all those tools as well. I've been looking for one of those "flying part finders" Got a line on one of those ? 😂
I'm impressed. Most people don't know about flush-cut cutters and why they are so important. While working on the V-Rod line at H-D a co-worker was severely cut by a sloppily cut wire tie. After that I begged the engineers on the line to supply us with the proper cutters but my wants fell on deaf ears. Morons.
The problem with these type of videos is they are made with the assumption you'll get into maintaining your bike as a professional shop would, instead of which type of tools you need at a minimum to do the same job even if you take a little bit longer. He showed many speciality tools that only save time and are expensive. You are not billing your services, therefore such levels of productivity are not required.
There are plenty of people who like to maintain their own stuff for the sake of convenience (not cost) who have plenty of money to throw around for tools like these
All tools I’ve acquired over a decade. Harbor freight brake bleeder is a nice one, parts washer, utility sink, good vise setup, and headlamp.
Thank you I’m gonna go try that brake bleeder
Low pressure tire gauge and valve stem remover tool. Not to mention a good quality air chuck. Spoons and rim savers for changing tires.

Those first wrenches you showed are called Line Wrenches as in brake line, trans line etc.
A brass hammer is a must ( buy 1 striking tool instead of many tools that get struck )
Another great video Jay!!. You got one for what items you bring on a trip or a day ride etc..
Heck yea! This is the video I’ve been waiting for xD
Excellent info ! Thank you !!!
I just stripped my front axle nut. I don’t think I need anymore tools. At least I took my wheels off to have them rebuild by faster USA.
Awesome stuff. Great suggestions. Thanks

Can never count on Snap On power tools. Absolute garbage.
Jay, thanks for sharing. I have nearly all those tools as well. I've been looking for one of those "flying part finders" Got a line on one of those ? 😂
Thanks Jay 🤙
Can’t seem to find big Y little Y wrenches anywhere with what looks like 3/8 driver ends?

T handle wrenches get the most workout in my garage
Heat gun is a good 1 also
Must have been tuff keeping track of all those tools over the years.

Spinal Tap joke was nice

Doing the same stuff just not putting it online like he is today. Jay has been in the industry for a long time!
