Hey!!! That looks familiar!! ❤ Thanks so much for coming out and giving me a chance to share my setup with everyone, I had a blast! This might be the first video I’ve watched that I didn’t have to go buy something afterwords! Thanks for all the kind words everyone!!
Hahaha 😂so true! I was just telling someone that last week. Just can't sit and watch a movie but I could have watched another hour of this one... only issue I sent 250$ on Amazon as i was watchin...😂😂 when we going to the man cave shop??
He’s a rare man . Get what works for him . I noticed he also said what doesn’t, but wasn’t patronising. I like that in any mechanic or tech . Even the ones who they their at the top of their field because of the brand of car dealer they work for . Boutique Technicians I call them .
I can’t believe this channel only has 34K subs. The amount of useful information I’ve learned from guys like this is amazing. What a great community! Thanks for all the great videos!!
Ya know we’ve all probably seen 90% of these tools but what makes it so entertaining is guys like this and how clean and organized their set ups are , you can tell they really are passionate about their trade . It’s exciting just to hear him explain the same exact tools I have in my box lol
This channel is great and all of these people are great examples of proud Americans with opportunity who work hard and achieve their dreams. Distinct individuals who are focused on doing well for themselves their employer and their customers. I’m very proud to be counted among them!
After 34 years as a tech and at least 75k in tools. A new tool is added to my wish list after every one of your videos lol. Now I now I need to buy banana jack retractable test leads. Thank you! Cool video.
How much does an experienced mechanic like you make for it to be a worthy investment to buy so many tools. It’s got to be six figures to be worth it i would assume
I’ve been working on cars for over 50 years. Still buying tools to this day. My point is you invest in yourself and in your trade It takes many years to build up tool collections that you see on this channel and others
Let’s go!!! I appreciate the shout out. David has a killer set up. I’ve been so busy I’m behind a couple videos. I really got to catch up. Great video as always.
Every shop needs a guy like this. I love the way he explains the reason for owning the tool and what he mainly uses it for. He doesn't need to spend anymore but Koken do the best nutgrip sockets including pinless flexible nutgrips, I know, sorry guys, now you need to buy them.
It's funny you mentioned the grip sockets. I am semi retired after 45 years of wrenching. Meaning I only work on jobs that I want to do now. In the late 70s, 80s and 90s your tool options were very limited, primarily truck brand no Olsa, Tekton, Capri and the like. Although I started out with Craftsman tools and box, saved up and bought that big Craftsman set, 1900 tools or something like that. Hauled that around to the few independent shops I worked at until going to school, getting ASE certified and landed in a dealership. I love tools, I love buying tools, I love collecting tools Although I probably do not need those sockets I will buy them. Why, because as you said, they work and are pretty cool.
@@randysmith9636 It's OK, blame me. It's not your fault, I led you astray. I dare not mention that their extensions are the best out there. The knurling is on the fat part so you get a better grip.
Thanks!! I actually have the Koken nut grip sockets and extensions in my box at home. I found Koken way after all my work stuff had been purchased but it’s been a far better economical option than Snappy.
I worked at Matco in Jamestown, NY for a little while building these tool boxes. I was on the end of the welding line where the boxes were nearly done being fabricated. A few rivets, a few spot welds and then on a riser so we could orbital sand any scratches on the outside before it went to the paint line. First time someone told me how much they cost it blew my mind. 10k, 20k for a tool box and you still gotta fill it with tools. Pretty cool job but it was dirty and hot as balls in the summer.
@@ToolBoxTourthis was around ten years ago but I imagine they might. Every factory job I ever had, at some point some prospective client or customer was given a tour. Might be different though if you want to film inside the factory.
This is my dream tool box!!!! OMG you shown me so many tools I never knew I needed till now!!! Looks like Im doing some tool shoping tonight!! Great video!!!
one of the best tool box reviews I’ve seen, just started as a Hydraulic mechanic at a machine shop and I know most of these tools aren’t even what I use but it’s still nice to see so many different stuff.
Another CLASSIC Tool Box Tours video. David's toolbox was wonderful! Thank you as always for taking the time to film and edit this!! Looking forward to the next one!! Best, Sam.
This guy is so dialed. The most practical, well thought out set-up I've ever seen. The best video so far! The "Autel-Lite" scan tool looks interesting. So many great ideas. I gotta get a 3D printer!
This was an amazing tour, what a good dude - wish he was my tech. And this is the best channel - absolutely love how you put the product number and price on screen.
Another awesome tour as always, I completely agree with him about you being a key point in selling many tools I wouldn't have otherwise seen. Keep up the great work man!
Gotta tell ya, that is just freaking awesome. What a great video for us tool guys. I’m just a wannabe compared to this set-up. Not only is the box & tools just over the top, the tech is so down to earth and honest about whether to spend big bucks on stuff.
I love watching these tours. I like this guy . I’ve noticed there’s a lot of good Tech’s /Mechanics on TBT channel . Don’t know how he vets them but he’s good at it . This video is part tool tour part how to, part showing a dam good mechanic . I also like how he tells an anecdote. I cringed over the co- worker losing her teeth. He also makes a good point on what it takes not to just do the job , but be 1st class at it. Up and coming spanner boy/ girls should pay attention if you find yourself with a mentor like Dave . I can think of a few young Techs I’d send him . TBT another outstanding video buddy . You definitely have a talent for it . Thanks .🇬🇧Dazzer
Matco boxes are made local to me. I used to talk to a lot of the people who worked at the factory and it was evident they took a lot of pride in their jobs.
Excellent video brother. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to him reviewing his box. I am so happy to hear him NOT like the wobble + extensions. The very first time using mine the socket pushed back and no longer wobbled. His box looks a lot like mine, except for the HF and Olsa tools, i do not own any of their offerings. Thanks again for another great video. Edit to add, i had that slide top Snap On cart but ... After setting it up i realized because of the depth of the top compartment you lose valuable space. For him as a electronics station it works but for me the two extra drawers worked better.
Wow David is a cool guy a man after my own heart he has put a nice kit together very meticulous and eager to share his nollage a 1.35. minute video just took me three hours to watch absolutely appreciate the way he stores snd keeps everything so clean keep these videos coming please and thank you 👍😎👍
@@ToolBoxTour oh I did as ever man! Appreciate it again! You'll have to come back out to the east side and see me sometime! We keep adding boxes and tools lol! Still awaiting for the shop expansion tho lol I need more room bad
Very intelligent individual I hope that dealership is paying him very well really enjoyed the content set a remind me of the guy that worked the exotic cars with the green box
Yet another awesome video from a passionate tech who knows his stuff. And again I just purchased a few hundred dollars on more tools from this video, lol. Thank you for spending the time to do these interviews and post the make and model of the tools discussed.
I'm a former honda technician and know for a fact that so much of those tools don't get used you need very few sizes for honda. But mad props to you sir top notch organization and tools
Assume collection of tools I really liked the organizers he used in the draws for the tools. And the way he labeled all the plastic cases so he knows what is in each one. Really great job explaining how he got such an amazing set of tools and a beautiful looking tool set of boxes
I wish I could say "I never use SAE" my upper drawer has to be split with SAE and Metric. Our shop is probably one of the few places that gets excited when the tool truck has a buy the metric get the SAE free deals. Great layout. Very well laid out and organization is on point.
Its really cool seeing all these ideas for tools and stuff and also i feel like no one ever has a good mac dealer. I feel like om the only one who uses majority mac tools
This has got to be one of the most meticulously crafted boxes that has been put together. My OCD is satisfied. I love it. Gives me motivation to get more tools lol. I wish I knew what 3D printer he uses.
8:08 that thread checker is nice but the one that comes in a case with individual thread checkers is way more versatile their on amazon.....you cant always take a bolt off and bring it to the thread checker so its nice to be able to bring the thread checker to the bolt
I’ll check that out. I’ve seen a different one advertised like the one I have but the inserts unscrew to take to the bolt. Could definitely come in useful. I have thread pitch gauges that came with my tap set, but I’m not a fan lol
As a Matco distributor myself, turn your sliding shelves in your locker upside down/flip them over. It will now turn into a sliding drawer. Have your distributor to order the liners.
Honestly I bought the small knipex cobras and they’ve come in handy so much, I’ve even used them for jewelry repairs and I’m a mechanic. Honestly I’ve used them more times than I can remember. Those and the huge ones they have. Everyone made fun of me for getting both yet they ask to barrow them 😂
10:20 the $230 icon versus the $810 snap on. There is no question of which one to buy. I have the BJP 1, that I bought years ago. There is no question it's a great set, but the additional $580 makes it an easy decision. Especially now that harbor freight has its own credit line.
Where does David live? I wish he was local to me. You can really tell he knows what he’s doing and cares. The toolbox is immaculate, and this guy has every scenario covered. Keep up the amazing work!
@@ToolBoxTour I did not even think about how someone might be looking to steal from the techs. If this guy happens to be in Orlando or nearby, please send me a message. I would love to have access to this man for (I am guessing some amazing troubleshooting).
Hey!!! That looks familiar!! ❤
Thanks so much for coming out and giving me a chance to share my setup with everyone, I had a blast! This might be the first video I’ve watched that I didn’t have to go buy something afterwords!
Thanks for all the kind words everyone!!
So glad you invited me out! It was a great time 🍻
I think @ToolBoxTour needs to do a tour of @GreaseMonkeyDK man cave as well! Love the 3D printed solutions…nice setup 👍
Love the organization, awesome setup!
Do you have a link for those clips on Amazon?
@@jeremyc61which clips would that be?
I can't get myself to watch a movie anymore, but I'll sit and watch a 1.5 hour long video of a guy showing all the tools he's bought for Hondas.
I agree.👍👍🇺🇸
😂😂😂 me too
Hahaha 😂so true! I was just telling someone that last week. Just can't sit and watch a movie but I could have watched another hour of this one... only issue I sent 250$ on Amazon as i was watchin...😂😂 when we going to the man cave shop??
Shit! I felt that
Facts!! Haha
This was my favorite Toolbox Tour. I really like that he is not brand agnostic and is willing to buy tools that just work.
He’s a rare man . Get what works for him . I noticed he also said what doesn’t, but wasn’t patronising. I like that in any mechanic or tech . Even the ones who they their at the top of their field because of the brand of car dealer they work for . Boutique Technicians I call them .
This guy seems like a genuinely good guy that loves his job and has a lot of passion for his work. Thanks for the tour it gave me a lot of ideas
I can’t believe this channel only has 34K subs. The amount of useful information I’ve learned from guys like this is amazing. What a great community! Thanks for all the great videos!!
The amount of tools in my wishlist because of this channel is insane 😂
What an awesome guy, really enjoyed this tour... One of my favorites so far
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the most honest and genuine automotive technician I have ever seen. This guys is awesome. Godspeed sir.
This tour is my favourite so far, this guy is full of knowledge and his box is full of tools... Perfect
Ya know we’ve all probably seen 90% of these tools but what makes it so entertaining is guys like this and how clean and organized their set ups are , you can tell they really are passionate about their trade . It’s exciting just to hear him explain the same exact tools I have in my box lol
my man single handedly bringing the word "fabulous" to the working class lexicon
That comedic “I’m a lumberjack” song comes to mind. Haha
I told my wife I felt like I said that word too much after the video. Would make a good drinking game though!
Loved this tour. One of the top tours for sure. Seems like a chill dude with an awesome collection. Super passionate, gotta respect it.
This channel is great and all of these people are great examples of proud Americans with opportunity who work hard and achieve their dreams. Distinct individuals who are focused on doing well for themselves their employer and their customers. I’m very proud to be counted among them!
I’m so glad I can provide a venue for people to share.
After 34 years as a tech and at least 75k in tools. A new tool is added to my wish list after every one of your videos lol. Now I now I need to buy banana jack retractable test leads. Thank you! Cool video.
How much does an experienced mechanic like you make for it to be a worthy investment to buy so many tools. It’s got to be six figures to be worth it i would assume
Glad to help with the wish list!
I’ve been working on cars for over 50 years. Still buying tools to this day. My point is you invest in yourself and in your trade It takes many years to build up tool collections that you see on this channel and others
Let’s go!!! I appreciate the shout out. David has a killer set up. I’ve been so busy I’m behind a couple videos. I really got to catch up. Great video as always.
Yes!! Hope to visit you soon Ryan!
Absolute unit of a setup. I also think it's really cool how his son is able to 3-D print a lot of useful stuff for him!
Every shop needs a guy like this.
I love the way he explains the reason for owning the tool and what he mainly uses it for.
He doesn't need to spend anymore but Koken do the best nutgrip sockets including pinless flexible nutgrips, I know, sorry guys, now you need to buy them.
It's funny you mentioned the grip sockets. I am semi retired after 45 years of wrenching. Meaning I only work on jobs that I want to do now. In the late 70s, 80s and 90s your tool options were very limited, primarily truck brand no Olsa, Tekton, Capri and the like. Although I started out with Craftsman tools and box, saved up and bought that big Craftsman set, 1900 tools or something like that. Hauled that around to the few independent shops I worked at until going to school, getting ASE certified and landed in a dealership.
I love tools, I love buying tools, I love collecting tools Although I probably do not need those sockets I will buy them. Why, because as you said, they work and are pretty cool.
@@randysmith9636 It's OK, blame me. It's not your fault, I led you astray.
I dare not mention that their extensions are the best out there. The knurling is on the fat part so you get a better grip.
Thanks!! I actually have the Koken nut grip sockets and extensions in my box at home. I found Koken way after all my work stuff had been purchased but it’s been a far better economical option than Snappy.
That’s the guy you WANT working on a vechicle. Great video and that guy is an absolute organization KING.
BEAUTIFUL!! Nice color choice!
MATCO makes a great toolbox!!
I worked at Matco in Jamestown, NY for a little while building these tool boxes. I was on the end of the welding line where the boxes were nearly done being fabricated. A few rivets, a few spot welds and then on a riser so we could orbital sand any scratches on the outside before it went to the paint line.
First time someone told me how much they cost it blew my mind. 10k, 20k for a tool box and you still gotta fill it with tools. Pretty cool job but it was dirty and hot as balls in the summer.
I’m curious since you worked there. Do they ever give tours of their factories?
@@ToolBoxTourthis was around ten years ago but I imagine they might. Every factory job I ever had, at some point some prospective client or customer was given a tour. Might be different though if you want to film inside the factory.
Mad respect to David for how clean and organized his setup is!
He’s a great Tech. And a hell of a car builder also. Glad to see your still doing it David. Amazing setup. Chad.
This is my dream tool box!!!! OMG you shown me so many tools I never knew I needed till now!!! Looks like Im doing some tool shoping tonight!! Great video!!!
Why do I get so much pleasure out of watching these tool "tours" while at work?? Keep the content coming, Brother!
These are my favorite kind of tours! The ones where i find out a bunch of tools that im adding to my wish list! Lmao
Lol! Why I watch these too, brother!
Christmas is coming up! Get those lists filled out! 😜
I love these videos where peoples boxes are so organized and they make there own 3d stuff
one of the best tool box reviews I’ve seen, just started as a Hydraulic mechanic at a machine shop and I know most of these tools aren’t even what I use but it’s still nice to see so many different stuff.
Wish I had this gentleman working on my car. What an amazing setup.
This was a really nice tour. He's a really personable guy. He would make a great Snap On , Matco dealer. Your videos are the best out there.
Thanks for watching!
Late stage tool addiction! Respect
I hadn't heard of phenolic plastic panels before. That's actually super cool. This guy's whole setup is A+.
I've been watching this 10 minutes at a time all day. Tool sales will double tomorrow.
He said “you’ve probably sold more tools than most people” …I bet you’ve sold more tools than the most successful Snap On guy
Yes I'm guilty of this
Just ordered the Astro tools nano low profile impact sockets. Love this channel.
I do what I can lol
this guys set up is amazing one of the best by far on the channel!!!
Another CLASSIC Tool Box Tours video. David's toolbox was wonderful! Thank you as always for taking the time to film and edit this!! Looking forward to the next one!! Best, Sam.
I appreciate the kind words, Sam! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Got my morning coffee and new tool box tour let’s go
☕️ 🧰👍
This guy is so dialed. The most practical, well thought out set-up I've ever seen.
The best video so far! The "Autel-Lite" scan tool looks interesting. So many great ideas. I gotta get a 3D printer!
I think we all need a 3D printer! lol
MATCO box!! Nice break from the usual Snap-On. Great set up!!!
This was an amazing tour, what a good dude - wish he was my tech. And this is the best channel - absolutely love how you put the product number and price on screen.
Just about every time I watch one of your videos I tend to add some tools to my wishlist lol ... great setup and thank you for showing us

I saw him post that Giant Fakra connector on our Facebook group back in 2023. Great video and excellent tool box setup!
Obviously a competent mechanic!!! Smart collection.... thanks!
I very much enjoy watching your videos. I learn something new. The more tools, the better you are . Thank you
Seen some great tours and guys this is right there at the top thank you both!
Thank you David for the tour. Very nice setup!
A true professional. Great video! Watched the entire thing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LETS GOOO!!!! been waiting for this for so long lol. Honda apprentice here, cant wait to watch and take as much as I can from this video
I hope you’re able to get something out of the tour from David!

This is by far the best toolbox tour I have ever seen. Amazing setup!
This was a masterclass, ex Certified Mechanic and Honda owner 👋 awesome stuff
Such pride of ownership here. Love this Techs setup.
Strut spreader I have 2 sizes and they get quite a bit of use 27:00
That's a bad badass setup! I'll deffinatly be watching this here later after barn works done!!!
Hope you enjoy it when you find time to watch!

Crazy nice set up!!! Thanks for the tour fellas.
🤘🤘Thanks Corey!
The most impressive setup I've seen. Thanks for sharing!!!
Very intelligent individual I hope that dealership is paying him very well really enjoyed the content set a remind me of the guy that worked the exotic cars with the green box
his set up is sick.

Just when I think my Amazon cart is going to get smaller, you post another video.
It happens to the best of us 😉
I wasn't sure if ide like him at first, but like 5 minutes in I'm hooked. This dude is cool af.
This means respect first to yourself and costumer .. every cent you spend worths it . Appeciate
This is the BEST toolbox tour that you have presented yet !!!! This is a smart man, with a very well organized box.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it.
This is one of the most interesting videos in a while. Loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Doesn’t get much better than this ! Nice!
My dad had a Saturn. It lasted forever.
I'm a former honda technician and know for a fact that so much of those tools don't get used you need very few sizes for honda. But mad props to you sir top notch organization and tools
Really cool guy with an awesome collection of tools.
Dammm ……l filled up my Amazon wish list with so many new tools I didn’t know I needed…. LOL!!!Great video!!!!
Lol I’ve been there.
Amazing set-up! So clean.
Awesome setup! Super jealous of all the stuff you have and especially the organization and cleanliness!
Assume collection of tools I really liked the organizers he used in the draws for the tools. And the way he labeled all the plastic cases so he knows what is in each one. Really great job explaining how he got such an amazing set of tools and a beautiful looking tool set of boxes
Yeah that label maker is a game changer!
i now want green tools thanks to this guy
I wish I could say "I never use SAE" my upper drawer has to be split with SAE and Metric. Our shop is probably one of the few places that gets excited when the tool truck has a buy the metric get the SAE free deals. Great layout. Very well laid out and organization is on point.
Amazing set up my favorite yet
I’m I like the way this guy thinks his layouts and tool purchases are so clever
Love the organization!!!
One of my favorites so far!
Its really cool seeing all these ideas for tools and stuff and also i feel like no one ever has a good mac dealer. I feel like om the only one who uses majority mac tools
I feel like it just depends on who the most reliable tool dealer is in your area.
This has got to be one of the most meticulously crafted boxes that has been put together. My OCD is satisfied. I love it. Gives me motivation to get more tools lol. I wish I knew what 3D printer he uses.
Thanks! It’s a Bambu Labs x1c
8:08 that thread checker is nice but the one that comes in a case with individual thread checkers is way more versatile their on amazon.....you cant always take a bolt off and bring it to the thread checker so its nice to be able to bring the thread checker to the bolt
I’ll check that out. I’ve seen a different one advertised like the one I have but the inserts unscrew to take to the bolt. Could definitely come in useful. I have thread pitch gauges that came with my tap set, but I’m not a fan lol
As a Matco distributor myself, turn your sliding shelves in your locker upside down/flip them over. It will now turn into a sliding drawer. Have your distributor to order the liners.
Thanks!! That’s a great idea, I’ll do that!
Genius!
Honestly I bought the small knipex cobras and they’ve come in handy so much, I’ve even used them for jewelry repairs and I’m a mechanic. Honestly I’ve used them more times than I can remember. Those and the huge ones they have. Everyone made fun of me for getting both yet they ask to barrow them 😂
I enjoy seeing any box or tool that’s not snap-on. Variety is good
those solder splices are awesome
Great tour I'll be picking up a few things to add on lol
10:20 the $230 icon versus the $810 snap on. There is no question of which one to buy. I have the BJP 1, that I bought years ago. There is no question it's a great set, but the additional $580 makes it an easy decision. Especially now that harbor freight has its own credit line.
as an upcoming honda master myself this was so dope to see. taking notes!
Congratulations! And thanks!
LOVE this set up, soooo clean !!!
I think he does a great job keeping things tidy!
Very nice set up. I was a technician at Saturn Engineering, it was a great place to work as well.
LET'S GO 🏁 TBT
I have a 500 rwhp Saturn Sky..he ain't lying
28:53.. I've got the Koken version..clutch tool right there
500?! That’s awesome!
Love this channel! Just ordered the Astro tools low profile nano sockets.
Yessir i really enjoyed this video and the way he explained exactly and that you have put the price of them an part number it's great 💯🏁🔥🦅👊
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What a great guy. I like his attitude, even though he just cost me a couple hundred in tools I didn't know I needed! 🤣
Lol I know the feeling. 😉
Where does David live? I wish he was local to me. You can really tell he knows what he’s doing and cares. The toolbox is immaculate, and this guy has every scenario covered. Keep up the amazing work!
I try to keep techs location as private as possible unless they chime in and let everyone know.
@@ToolBoxTour I did not even think about how someone might be looking to steal from the techs. If this guy happens to be in Orlando or nearby, please send me a message. I would love to have access to this man for (I am guessing some amazing troubleshooting).
The half-size sockets are wow!
