- Updates to the first time mechanics toolbox to begin my new job. Trying some Toolbox Widget gear!
Also updating you on the $1000 Yamaha raptor 660r - Raptor Rescue 
Good luck man! I just recently started a new job which involved me moving out of state at 20 years old. I’m a mechanic as well, just on cars. It’s scary at first but once u get past the first few days you’ll love it. Especially if you make friends with people who also work there.
I’m about to do the same thing at 22 as a boat mechanic. Moving from Maryland to Delaware
Good luck with the new job, tool box video made me find you, keep up the good work.
New to finding your channel, with the previous toolbox video being the first watch. Great content and editing, Goodluck with your new job man!!
The new job sounds like fun. Enjoy it and good luck 👍🏼
Yeah bro! Get that raptor dirty!!! Work will be great! Nice tool set up, and the widgets are sweet.
I recently left my job at the state and moved to VA for a diesel tech job. I bought a big toolbox and the same cart as you. The big box is storage. The other techs want the roll cart now. Good luck man.
Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada
as far as ratchets go, my favorite brand has to be Ko-Ken, they have the lowest back drag in the game meaning that you can tighten a bolt from completely loose without having to hold the socket or tighten by hand first, they offer a 36 tooth and a 72 tooth ratchet selection which is just awesome, keep up the great work and hope to see more updates on the tools
Get yourself a set of the thin wrenches form olsa. You will surprise yourself how handy they are to use in tight spaces where you would use a channel lock. Pick up magnet for that bolt you always drop. Headlamp/quality flashlight for the tight dark spaces.
Good luck brother!
great Chanel I to just started in a shop recently and have been building my tools but I love building older bikes someday I will get another project after I finish my big project of a 4 runner
I’m not a mechanic, but i own a ton of tools. If you dont already have some at home, i highly suggest picking up a pair of Knipex Alligator pliers or Knipex Cobra’s (just the quick adjust version of the same plier). They used to be cheaper but seems like the prices have shot up on Amazon. best pump pliers youll even find, still worth what they’re asking for em. its a purchase you wont regret. the jaws are nice and thin with indestructible teeth, and a way more adjustment then standard groove style water pump pliers like Channellock. . I’d suggest at least the 10” size, and maybe the 7” or 5” to follow. Good luck at the new job. Having to start over somewhere new is always a challenge.
Knipex stuff is the best of the best when it comes to pliers. Check out the knipex plier wrench. The flat jaws with force/grip multiplication thru levers is amazing. I use them all the time, they're the best tool I've ever owned.
Rarely reach for pump pliers, linesman pliers, vise grips, and they don't have teeth so they don't ruin expensive/rare fittings!
Hope it’s going good for you buddy. Can’t wait for the next video.
Nice box for starter box I would recommend getting a set of ladies feet AKA lineup bars
Just watched your original video about getting all of those tools and thought it was awesome. I my self am going to be starting a mechanics program in the fall where I will work on Toyota cars and what you got for tools gave me a good idea of what I should be thinking about buying so thank you, also I would like to say that in my opinion you lucked out with the color scheme of that raptor I love the look of the red and white, it kind of reminds me of My 1986 Honda atc200x that I have that is all white with a red frame. I have always wanted a raptor but unfortunately I live in the northwest and a raptor in the condition that one is in would be like 1700-2500 dollars and I just don't have the money, but life is not all bad, I do have the privilege of having a Yamaha warrior that is a lot of fun If you want to see it I have a couple of videos of it on my channel along with the atc200x.
Good luck with your new job. I got a Polaris 400 sport an it's souped up to 70 horsepower. That's what the dealer estimate it at after all the work he done to it.
Dude…I love the Polaris Sport! I’ve always wanted the 1995 Polaris Sport 40th (I think) anniversary edition…it’s a Sport 400 but it wears the utility body work from like a Trail Boss…I’m always looking for that specific model
@@andyspeedshop I think mine is 96 or 97 it's yellow an purple. I still have the oil injected so I dont have to mix the oil an gas. When I put it in reverse I have to press the override button because it would not go.
I love my bike when it was running I would out run the banshees an other bikes.
Did Maddmavic got the number. If not, I just bought a 01 on Wednesday and I need a good bumper. The one that came with it is trashed and spending what I did to get it was a stretch. lol 👍 We’ll live, Ramon noodles lol
I wondered why you didn't have prybars in the other video. The Olsa tools are nice .
good stuff!
Anyone looking for a good set of snap ring pliers buy the Lang set.
I got a ton of raptor stuff new and used. If u want to swap some parts.
My buddy has a nice banshee he mite sell it's a 3 mil I think. Basically new ground up.
Il take the bumper too if still got it
I got used black nets and new green ones
Proto makes heavy duty and regular snap ring pliers could you have got some heavy duty pliers?
Perhaps that’s what happened! Icon has finally shipped me the 9 piece set, however
I watched the first video and if I recall correctly from that you new new job is with a powersports dealer. Sounds like fun, congratulations. I do wonder why you bothered spending all that money on SAE stuff though. I would have spent that on clutch pullers, a bunch more Torx stuff and probably long needlenose pliers. What will you be using the SAE stuff for?
I just want to cover all the bases - we will also be selling and servicing Bad Boy mowers, which are manufactured here in the U.S. and probably use SAE hardware.
@@andyspeedshop I'm no stranger to buying more than I might need either, and I love tools as much as the next guy :P These days most toys are all metric and yes, lawnmowers tend to be SAE, especially the US made ones. So I would have just picked out the most common sizes and call it good. Anyway, I do notice one other thing missing, but maybe I missed it: snap ring pliers. You might want to look into getting a decent selection of those. I forgot to bring mine when I was working on my sled last month and it was a royal pain! A bearing splitter/puller might also be a good idea.
@@AllajchaSibir - I agree on the snap ring pliers! I did mention them on the video. I ordered a 9 piece set but they were on back order and they canceled it on me - so I’m still on the logout for a good set of those
@@andyspeedshop get you a millwaukee grease gun
@@cheeseburger9232 I’d love that - just don’t tell the wife - I’ve already gone over budget 😳
How much would you. Want for raptor when you v ready to sale it
I got a full graphics kit
How is the new job ? I’m using your videos as reference i just got hired at Honda Powersports n need to use a tool box
Loving the new job - it’s long hours but it’s fun!
Instead of getting rid of the bumper just cut the wings off it
Will u sell that lowering kit I need one.
Where are you located? I’ll ship the bumper and lowering kit to you if you pay for shipping.
@@andyspeedshop let me know the cost .I'm in limerick Maine
