When success comes, you just gotta pursue it! Mac, thank you so much for the tour. It was fun and I feel like I could have spent hours there just talking about the different projects you had going on. If you enjoyed the tour Mac took us on, give this video a Like!

Thank you some much for the opportunity!!!
Thank you so much for inviting me out!!
Awesome box man! You have some really great tools and a fun personality. Keep crushing it dude 🤘
Thank you!
You seem like you would be an awesome guy to work with.
What a beautiful box and thank you for sharing 👍🏻
I love the experience of the older guys but I really enjoy the entusiasm of the younger guys showing their tools.
I agree!
Mechanics personality really makes a difference on these tours.
I agree forsure
Such a genuine dude doing a hell of a job with a hell of a setup. Content suggestion if you could. Race mechanic toolbox tour. Great content!
Oooo good suggestion! Maybe.. coming soon? 🤙😄
Cool setup and sweet shop. I would’ve loved to be a fly on the wall in Snap On’s board room meeting. “How can we get everyone to rebuy the same tools?” … FOAM yes that will do it
😂
🤣🤣🤣
I woke up and was like time for my Saturday morning tool box tour and here it is-a new episode uploaded 1 min ago. Good morning!
lol same here! 👍🏼
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love the box and the guy was super humble and seems very down to earth. Great video
Couldn't agree more!
Love this guy's energy! I also think that's one of the coolest boxes I have ever seen!
Snack drawer did it for me...he has his priorities in line.
Haha right??
I look forward to your videos every weekend !!!
Thank you!
Thank you for getting this uploaded every week again. Loving it every Saturday💪🏼
More to come!
X-2 👍🏻
What an awesome guy! Really proud and enthousiastic about his setup, I really liked this tour!
Probably one of the best videos you have done. The audio was awesome, the box was neat, the tech had a passion for his tools and it didn't feel forced. A+++
I appreciate the feedback! And thanks!!
CONTENT SUGGESTION: aircraft mechanic (a&p, avionics) tool box tours
He's done at least one a&p guy I think maybe more..
I’m not a big fan of Matco, but I love this Matco tool box with this color combo👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Love this guys energy and attitude. Nice set up
What a nice dude
Awesome toolbox! I visited a Matco tool truck for the first time recently and was blown away by the massive 6S box. 30 inches deep. Wowzers! Anyways, this tour was fun today, this guy seems to have a great sense of humor. Thanks for the work on this one.
Yeah it’s really huge!
Dang it. I made it weeks without needing a new tool then this guy brings out that pair of Snapon wire strippers/crimpers. Need it.
It seems like a simple tool, but everybody that has one swears by them.
I love the box. I have a matco 6s same box in gloss black and red trim. Not going to lie I like the flat wrinkle paint more, it's so easy to scratch or nick the paint on my box, its like car paint. Still I think Matco makes the best boxes on the market. I have so much weight in mine it doesn't bother it a bit.
Lively fella i kept waiting to see him drinking some Red Bull then I saw the Mountain Dew nice set of tools keep them coming 👍😎👍
It was my day off so no red bull lol
@@glacmcpheters6684 Lol next time strap on has a BOGO and you have half buy it and sell the one you have or the new one and recover some dough 👍😎👍
Another interesting tool box Tour what’s interesting is the difference between the work he does compared to a automotive technician
Yeah always fun to see the different stuff people work on
That was a sexy box
Way to spread the business around a Matco box filled with snappy. Keep the vids coming we love your work
Man I love this channel. I grew up around power sports. So that’s super cool to see. That is a sweet box. Thanks for another great video. As always.
Glad you enjoy it!
13:15.. this stuff can be handy..there's another one for plastic (Plastex from G.T. Motorsports) that you can use to fix like a plastic clip or connector if you needed to in a pinch until you can buy and replace the broken plastic connector/connection...
Good to know!
In today's video Tool whisperer shows us enthusiastic young guy that is not afraid of tool truck wizardry prices. He's happy though.
Next level tool ids and prices with some mrsubaru touch on Matco alternatives or OEM.
Maybe videos resuming your tool finds on these tours. That analysis/comment would be awesome 😎
Great video.....now do the white US General in the background!
these guys got really nice boxes
Would love to see some city fleet mechanic content or EV technician stuff. Great video today
I’ll add it to the list!
OUTSTANDING !
Great video….always great to see the tools and techs with great positive attitude!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video brother. Gotta love the snack drawer. I actually didn't have a extra drawer but using a Milwaukee wall plate and a two drawer box does a fine job.
Edit to add. Getting paid hourly is great, assuming you are being paid appropriately. I spent many years playing the book time game and while i made more it is dealership dependent. I always had at least 2 bays, sometimes 3.
In a shop that does mostly non warranty work it is probably a better deal for everyone including the customer.
I agree about book time. Also - Milwaukee snack wall 🤘
That was super rad.
Glad you liked it John!
I'm jealous of the snappy hammers in foam which is really funny since I have 2 of them and almost always use my mini sledge from hobo freight instead
Yeah the foam is super nice. Almost too nice haha
You do and find the best reviews thankyou.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching 👍
Because of this I bought the snap-on wire stripper and crimper
Can’t go wrong with those! The larger set is nice as well
No way bro made a Hellen Keller joke 😂
😅
Great content! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
My Snap On stock loves seeing these videos
😅
That seems like fun and only 2 peo... all money in😂😂😂
Nice box
I agree!
FC72 Snap On is a must have for any tech!
Great tour! Thankyou!
If you are ever in Southern California I’d love to do a tour! If it ever happens I will definitely have more and a real a have what I feel like is a nice set up!
Deal!
And i see the 5 drawer blue H-F cart with the lift lid.
Great looking box but crazy price 😮
Whoa. When was that buy one get one free deal? My dealer said nothing about that.
Dude thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
Great video man. Thanks for the great content!
Appreciate it!
What are the criteria in being in videos? I really watching your videos to help organize my toolboxes
Good morning. Time to stare at strangers toolboxes before i drink some coffee and go stare at mine
Have fun! 😅
Love the videos man. I was wondering if you could do a tour of marine diesel mechanics? I work in the trade, and all my coworkers have such a unique array of tools.
I’ll add it to the list. Thanks for watching Mike!
Waiting by my phone for your video!
Hope you liked it!
@@ToolBoxTour sure did! Thank you for the video and your time. Enjoy the rest of your Easter Weekend my Friend!
This truly a niche channel
Thank you 😊
Bicarbonate soda does exactly the same as that Kubon stuff
Good to know!
Matco et al are waking up to H-F which now offers a rainbow of colors
Hard to beat the value of the hf boxes
Will you ever venture to Canada to do tours?
Eventually 😃
Always look forward to new videos but my bank account does not lol
Haha! 😅
Would you be interested in touring the box of a cat radiator rebuild specialist
Sounds interesting! Send me an email so we can chat 🙂. Toolboxtour@gmail.com
id love to see this guys bill
No ya don't 😂😂
I have the Snap-on Epiq 84 inch with stainless top and the 36 inch cart which is 24 deep with like a rhino liner top. Hate both of these type tops.
The stainless steel which you know is not magnetic, wish I had got just a 1/4 inch piece of steel cut to fit. The Snap-on cart with rhino liner has the same problem, the magnets don't want to stick to the inside. Work lights won't stick, no magnets stick to it.
The latest 36 inch Snap-on cart I wouldn't care since it's a slide top. Might be trading for that one.
The Snap-on stainless top has other issues. The stainless is not only non magnet as you know, but rather thin and it looks like a cheap piece particle board underneath I'm not sure because I didn't assemble it, the same stuff they use on their expensive creepers underneath the cover?
A mild steel or even a wooden butcher block would be better than stainless steel. But Snap-on makes boxes to sell, not use. I might be the exception, but I don't like the shallow speed drawer or the power drawer. The power drawer just takes up too much space.
Like Adam Savage said once, big tool boxes with drawers is where tools go to die. This is somewhat true, and the mechanic has todo a lot of walking to get tools out these big boxes.
Now I have a carport at home for cars and a shed, but nowhere really to put an Epic sized box. What am I gone do in a couole of years when I retire! Nobody ever thibks about that when they buy these big tool boxes.
If I had todo all over again, I would work out my cart and call it a day. As tools become less used or obsolete when those certain cars die off, put those tools in storage or sell them. A big tool box is worth pennies on the dollar 😡
I never heard that Adam Savage quote but it is 100% accurate. I have so many tools that I even forget I have, OR I’m in such a hurry that I can’t spend the 5 minutes looking for it, so I do the job without it. That was back when I was a mechanic tho.
@@ToolBoxTour Yeah, mechanic buys Snap-on but when you leave the mechanic world, you only have to visit Home Depot or Lowes website 😁
Two reason they don't sell Snap-on or tool truck tools in the stores. First nobody would pay that price. Second is 99.9% don't need any expensive tools. A house a car and truck is expensive enough!
Little known secret nobody talks about. First of all most automotive technicians don't make much money. After buying tools and paying tool payments, they make even less.
I'm afraid (especially outside the big cities) the tool truck franchisees days are numbered. Not to say you can git by with cheap junk online, but because mechanic wages are stuck in the 1980s. I mean literally stuck, not counting for inflation.
Housing prices keep going up and may never drop in our lifetime. It doesn't really help us if housing prices dropped in half anyway because if it did then nobody would be loaning any money!
Consider yourself lucky you don’t have a Mr. Big 😊
I have a 72” Master series. I find that’s good for the mothership and as I get more tools, I just keep purchasing more carts and organize them accordingly
👍👍‼️
Whats the biggest box u ever did a tour on?
It was a couple weeks ago, thing was huge
I did a pretty big white EPIQ a few weeks ago!
We use foam A LOT in aerospace. Tool accountability is a major deal. Tools left in aircraft parts or inside a plane somewhere are BAD.
I absolutely detest the bottom grade Harbor Freight insert bits.
I’d love to do an aerospace tour someday. I love FOAAMMMMM.
I like snacks but wait until a mouse finds it. I no longer keep any type of food in my box.
Yeah, I’ve had decent luck with sealed snacks tho.
No video this week?
I thought the same thing I need to know I need to know what to tell my snap-on guy that I need lmaoooo
Unfortunately no 🙁. Stay tuned for next week though!
@@ToolBoxTour Came here to ask the same. Hope you’re doing well!
How do I contact you about doing a tour? I really think you would like my setup. I asked you before but never e-mailed you 😂 just been busy
Yup! Just hit me up on instagram @toolboxtours or send an email to toolboxtour@gmail.com 👍
Husband material.
I pass on motorcycle repairs. Because of bikers.
I tried twice.
Fixed a stator on a bike, the owner laid down. Rolled up, saw the bike in the door. Jumped on it and took off. Stuck me with $900 in part to pay for. Fake name, fake phone number, fake address.
The second was a simple repair on a Harley. Dude gets on the internet. The Internet tells him I'm ripping him off... They got an uncle that can do it cheaper... So in and so forth.
Dude showed up at the shop with a gun. Pointing it in my employees faces. Scaring the shit out of people. Ranting how we were just ripping him off.
I've pretty much stopped working for the American people all together.
I'm not trying to get shot for helping people.
Up around the Manistee national Forest. Those side by sides are broke down, all over the woods. Shit carbs. Shit axle shafts... They are the KIA, of this generation.
Another cheap Chinese contraption, designed to keep people fixing it. It's all fun and games, until you're out in the woods.... And that harsh environment, is separating the marketing theory... From the harsh reality of nature.
That’s rough, but thanks for sharing. Seems like people either love it or absolutely despise it.
@@ToolBoxTour ... We host a camp at the blessing of the bikes, in Baldwin. We have a good time with the bike community. It's nothing against them. I just cannot run the risk of sustaining losses like that. Loss of revenue. Loss of workers. There's no class of business school that teaches you how to deal with a pissed off, armed to the teeth, customer. Someone shows up with a gun, you're pulling out customer service skills you never knew you had. Or else!
Especially in Obama 2.0 administration.
