Great video! I am only a DIY mechanic. It is so nice to see someone who has affordable tools that the average guy can get his hands on. All the other toolbox videos I have seen are 20k worth of tools! I love how you organized them!
Thanks so much! I love the idea of owning the best of the best and thinking it will somehow make me a better technician but I know all of my tools have a lifetime warranty and that to me is just as good as a tool truck brand to me at least. 🤙🏼
This seems a well balanced box. Price vs. utility.
We can't all have all snap-on and Knipex, and it seems you have choosen carefully;
Nice Job
Nice set up and very organized.
Thank you very much ! 🤙🏼
Great set up!
Thank you ! And I love your channel BTW. 🤙🏼
I think people getting into this industry over estimate how many tools or how much you need to spend to get going into working on cars. A six drawer cart from harbor freight, especially now with the series 3 boxes gets you a lot of bang for your buck. Plenty of space, you can get probably enough tools in that small cart to get 75-80% of all jobs done. Great start on a set up. I'm about 6-7 year into the industry. Working on getting my toolbox all organized better then I'll hopefully get a video out.
Agreed. I work out of this box and it gets me through 98% of what I do everyday without having to walk back to my main box.
That little drill you “do nothing with” is what in our shop is mainly used for your tpms sensors when changing the valve stem, and small stuff like that
How would you use that for TPMS sensors ? They are only supposed to be hand tight ?
Since I have to take my tools back and forth from the racetrack... I'm constantly trying to figure out how much I can get done with as few tools as possible. Most of my chrome sockets and wrenches are mostly old Craftsman USA, Sunex impact, gearwrench ratchets, knipex pliers, vessel screw sticks. Any new sockets or wrenches are Icon. I rarely break anything but when I do I replace with Snap-on. I have three boxes; a small box with all my SAE. My main boxes that travel have everything I need, but only what I need, for the cars I'm wrenching on at the track... When I say "only what I need", I mean that if the car has no 16mm bolts, I don't take any 16mm sockets or wrenches. I have a 3rd box that stays home -- for all the metric stuff that doesn't travel. There are two reasons for this -- 1.) I need to be compact and as light weight as possible... 2.) When I'm working fast it helps to not grab a 16 when I need a 17 or 18.
Thank you for sharing that information. When I used to take the car out autocross I had a similar setup with only tools specific to the car I was driving. Made the box much more travel friendly.
Out of curiosity, what box do you travel with. I race in lemons and have always brought my US General small cart, but I was thinking of developing a packout setup
@@yorktronic I used a husky toolbox similar to the pack out. It made for a good seat and step at the track too
@@yorktronic I'm still searching for the idea... but for now I'm using two of these. It's a tradeoff because I need to keep them light enough for me to lift (I'm not getting any younger.... and sometimes I carrying my tools in a Honda Fit with a bunch of Video Production gear . I often compete and produce content on the same weekend. So space is a premium. It's not ideal but it's what I've settled on for now.
I like the setup bro. Green is my favorite too. Keep doin what you,re doin
Thank you my friend ! Green is the best for sure!
Mean n Green 😊
Pro tip …don’t store the batteries in the torque wrenches while not in use
Thanks for the tip! I did talk to my rep and because they get used daily he said they should be fine without draining. I don't know if I have super batteries or what but my 3/8 has had the same batteries for 3 or 4 months so far and still running strong. Lol 🤙🏼
That is absurd, juss sayin
I had a little chuckle at “SwanLake” wrenches 😂 Another wild tool company name is “King Dick”…
Seriously, look it up, totally real wrench company based in the UK.
Check out Diyarea tools. 🤣🤣
Dude that's awesome I have to get a set of those just to say I have the king dick wrenches lol 😂
Bad ass setup bro keep grinding
Thanks brother. you too 🤙🏼
Man love the tool grid they are just expensive 😪
Yeah you're telling me lol. I actually am transitioning a few components around. I am currently testing out the alien space savers and Ernst wrench pro for my wrenches. And I really like the alien space savers for screwdrivers and pry bars etc. I just haven't found anything I like more than the tool grid for sockets. It's just so compact and secure.
@@InTunewithDaveeven the tool box widgets are expensive
quite a bit of tools for just an apprentice!
whats your point? you expect him to try out the job and see if he likes it before he invests in himself?
For sure! Like I said in the beginning of the video I worked on cars 20 years ago before I took a break. During the time I wasn't working on cars professionally I was still working on my own and my friends and families cars. A lot of the tools you see are accumulated over the years just like any other seasoned tech. Granted there are some new tools in there too. Thanks for watching !
Dont be judgin
What is the brand of those magnet panels? I need some to hold pry bars to the side of my box.
The magnet panels are really strong but I don't know if they would hold heavy pry bars. The brand is lodesol I got them off Amazon.
how's those snap on reversible wrenches hold up for you? ever break them before? i warranty mine all the time haha
So far so good with the wrenches. I don't really use wrenches as much as the sockets but they still feel strong and have been put through hell in their short life
I bet You do sport shoes 👠🙄🤣
Does this us general tool box fully close with the snap on pry bar?😊
Sure does. The holes are recessed low enough to allow it to close.
You interested in selling that little m12 driver with the clutch that you don't use?
I would consider it but unless you live close to me it most likely wouldn't be worth it for either of us. They are only like 70 bucks at Home Depot of memory serves me correctly. 🤙🏼
Wow, hah what a scream? 😆
What's the Green thing on the bottom of the milwaukee M12 battery? Magnet ?
It's the STS auto design battery magnet. They make them for all of the Milwaukee batteries and also for Dewalt and snap on ETC. here's the link. I have so many of their products and love them.

@@InTunewithDave thanks so much I'm going to have to check those out
Green slime
What’s that part number to switch the 1/4 to 3/8 on the matco ratchet?
What did you use to take the us general emblem off the front of cart thank
Honestly they kind of just fell off when I put the trim tool behind them. Lol didn't take any prying and didn't leave any adhesive. I was surprised.
@InTunewithDave ok thanks man appreciate it, thinking about getting one of those carts for home garage when we get one built it will mostly have name brand tools in it, you have the orginal lock in it, thought about putting a matco lock in mine so it matches my tool box at work and only need to have 1 key on my key ring for both boxes
I did change the locks out so all my locks were keyed alike. I just got a lock set off Amazon and swapped it out. Super easy
@InTunewithDave ok thanks man I'm gonna try an extra matco lock I got and see if it works
