I love the fact that at the end you said you’re proud of what you got and who cares if it’s not snap on. I’m a 20 year old college student who works on cars as a hobby with my buddies and I am not going to school to be a mechanic but I still love to work on cars. My buddies are going to school to be mechanics and give me a hard time because they only buy snap on and Matco. I don’t think I could be more proud of the tools I have though even if it is more of the mid line tool line. It’s mine and it’s what I spent my hard earned money on and it’s mine so who cares. Great video and would love to see more!
More expensive tools don't make you a better tech imo, I laugh at the guys who say all they have is snap on or matco...I just don't think it's a necessity
Idk when the tool store comes to my front door that’s what makes it worth it for me
@@joshuahilyard7009 not a very big deal... you're probably driving 20+ minutes for work anyways. Stopping in for 2 minutes for a no questions asked warranty isn't a bother...
@@KonmanxX all the big tool stores are 20+ mins away in the opposite direction, i definitely agree the tool store coming to me makes it worth it.
@@wyattnance6755 just depends on location and access for each shop situation honestly
I think you are doing well to be 21 years old and you have a really nice collection of tools
Thanks man I really appreciate it
We’re ready for a 3 year bud 🎉 glad there’s still humble peterbilt mechanics out there 🎉
I like your tool set up. You are ready to Go, Go, Go! Go make some money, keep America rolling. I wrenched for over 30 years on Porsche, had a Porsche shop for over 10 years, & then restored Porsche & Mercedes out of a E350 Ford, then did high performance prototype fabrication worked for Carroll Shelby.
Awesome set up man. I dig how you have a wide variety of brands. Good stuff.
I appreciate that!
The main thing is... If it works for YOU champ that's all that matters! I've been in the field a while and I'll tell you a quality tool no matter who it is made by.....is just that. Stay safe .
Good set up. I have a mixture of snap-on, gear wrench, and harbor freight, and craftsman tools and they get the job done which is the most important thing. Don’t really need snap on everything. I’ve broken multiple snap on ratchets and my harbor freight ones are still going strong😂
You should be proud of that set man!! Good sh*t!! Nice work on the video!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it
Great stuff brother. I work at a John Deere dealership and none of the techs have all snap on stuff, it’s a smorgasbord of brands and they all work great.
I actually just started at Deere on the 4th of this month😂
@@KonmanxX no way bro, that’s awesome!
Nice looks like my cart. Sunex, gearwrench, Cornwell blue power, Pittsburgh...all the mid range stuff. You can really get some killer deals on good brands nowadays. I bought deep/shallow 3/8 and 1/2 sunex swivel sockets for a few hundred bucks. I think snap on was 500 for 1 rail of deeps...crazy. same with my torque wrenches, went with gearwrench ! 450 bucks into 3 wrenches vs 700 for 1 snap on. Having expensive tools do not make the technician!
I just started at a Pete Store and I just wanted to say thank you. I have found both of your videos extremely helpful!
No problem man, if you have any questions about special tools lmk!
@@KonmanxX Thanks! It's only my first week so rn I'm just trying to adjust to the social dynamic. Any tips on that? Also, I'm the only girl which has been fine so far but are there any female techs at your shop?
@@mollypersons2879 no we don't have any in the shop, only up front and in parts. Honestly we give them the same amount of shit as we give each other. If you aren't being picked on then they don't like ya
@@KonmanxX Ah ok. Good to know, thanks.
That color on the Matco is so nice
Love the setup and selection. A working man's toolbox . Good stuff man
Much respect broski. 3 Months in the trade myself.💪
Good luck man
You should be proud of want you have. The tools or toolbox doesn’t make you a better tech it’s knowing how to use them and how to do the repairs 👍👍👍
Good review. It's nice to hear why you like and also dislike specific items. Helps us shoppers out.
I have 4 of those Braun lights I cycle out between charges. Light weight, bright, cheap and fairly dependable -light duration.
You work at a Peterbilt dealership those trucks are perfect and never break down so how do you survive with no work?
Go to the freightliner or volvo dealership, tons of crap there that needs fixed. 👍🏼
Emissions and 579 wiring saves us 🤣
Who cares what other people think. If it works for you that’s all that matters
this guys wearing jordans as his w
ork boots
I was off the clock... and they aren't Jordan's.... I went In 5 hours after my shift ended to do this
The bolt on the transmission your talking about, I use a Snapon 3/8 drive 5/8 wobbly, you have to turn it in a funky angle but basically the drive hole for the socket will point towards upper back. And use a 12" extension over the top of trans to get it.
Nice video. I like how you explained the type of work you typically perform as it gives some insight as to why you have things laid out the way they are. On the Milwaukee electric ratchet - I have the same one and once backed it into a suspension part. I tried yanking, shoving, hitting it with a hammer and even hitting the direction switch with a chisel without success. I then decided it was a goner and to remove with reckless abandon. I used it for a year after that incident with the only memory having to hold the anvil sometimes to change the direction. One day I opened it, saw nothing was broken, and closed it back up with new grease - then it was fixed somehow. I'd still be using it to this day except I use long reach versions now. So yeah nice ratchet :D
That thing has been through a lot lol, mine took a few coolant baths and is still kicking after almost 4 years of daily use!
I have the same one too I think I've had it 4 or more years now. There is no paint left on the head and the white lettering is all gone, somehow it still works. Love Milwaukee power tools. Slowly transitioning to all Milwaukee as my cheap other brands die
You have a fine set of tools. Nothing hear to be ashamed of. I worked on heavy construction and farm equipment for 18 years. I have worked as a heavy industrial maintenance technician for 24 years. I have come to terms with the fact that most any company with a lifetime warranty is going yo be a fairly reliable tool. My only personal recommendation is that snap on open wrenches are stronger, buy the long set 3/8 ~ 3/4 inch sizes. Maby, but not so necessary in the 15/ 16-inch size even though it is a very important daily user. Never buy a 13/16"or a 1" wrench, you will never use them. You might if some engineer sees this post and realizes he left a design flaw. I have found snap on chizzles and punches have superior cutting edges, but who can afford them? Only buy the sizes you need. I know, I've checked lately. A 3/4" & 19mm are virtually the same size, only being 0.003" difference in size. The same apples to 15/16" & 24mm with being only 0.005" difference in size.
I've actually switched over to John Deere now a year ago next week. I quickly realized how many tools I didn't have, especially cordless tools and pullers. Just things I've never had to use before. Luckily I have an awesome matco and snap on guy that even have a decent amount of stuff cheaper than Amazon ie posi-lock pullers and things like that. Unfortunately I'm now about 45 minutes away from the closest "town" so my HF trips have been limited to one time every 2 weeks. I'm currently using the icon reversible ratcheting wrenches to give them a go since they were on a great ITC deal, I can't say I have any complaints honestly!
lol, when you called that knife a "cricket", i lost it. but seriously, its C.R.K.T, it stands for columbia river knife and tool. 👍
It's just easier 🤣 and faster lol
Only smokes. I'd say Cricket too 😂
Anyone that rips on you for not spending all your money on snap-on or matco or some other name brand tools is a moron. There's honestly no reason to put yourself into that much debt at the start of your career. As time goes on you can easily upgrade your tools as needed and when they have deals/sales going on. Now don't get me wrong there are some tools that you should cheap out on. An example of that is I'm a journeyman Gasfitter and I made sure I didn't cheap out on my pipe wrenchs, tubing cutters or flaring tool.
thanks for the insight brother god bless you!
So I have worked on cars all my life do construction for a living but at 35 years old I am thinking about going to school to be a diesel tech for the construction company I work for
You don't HAVE to go to a diesel technology program to get in to this business, although I'd probably recommend it if you have little to no experience around class 8 trucks and trailers. When I started out I had been working on trucks I owned for about 8 years so my 1st shop they put me straight on the heavy line side. Someone COULD be "homegrown" at a dealership or trucking company starting out as a lube tech and working your way up. All you need is an opportunity, a great attitude and the ability to learn and, most importantly, listen. Eventually you'll develop your own style of working on trucks. Good luck.
Good video bro! There was a couple big/long black Matco cases in the first box that you didn’t open/mention. Looked like torque wrenches maybe?
Yeah they are just my regular ones, the twist up style. I just use those on chassis and keep the snap on electric ones for engine and TTY fasteners
Covid clearance 😂😂 fuck I wish tool trucks had those deals
I thought it was a joke when I saw it 🤣
Great tour sir.. appreciate you sharing. Good Job!
I might have to do a video like this too. I’m 20, been in the game 2 years (professionally) as well. I run a 1997 matco 3 bay. Im a fleet tech and work on pneumatic trailers. We have somewhere around 100 volvo VNL, few pete 389, and a 300 or so freight liners comin in.
I've only been in about 3 years total for trucks but I've only really been on Pete's thankfully. Still get a lot of the different ones that trickle in but mainly anything from 1960s to 2022 Pete's lately
@@KonmanxX that’s badass!!! I enjoy working on Pete’s. I would like to build an older 379 day cab or an 80s 362 cab over. C15 cat if I had the money like that 🤣 in frame rebuilds nowadays are like 40,000 where I’m from.
@@masonkirby2443 from what I was told back in 2011 my shop did a full resto on a 352 and it ran the guy over 300k after sourcing all the parts and custom work! If I had to drive though I'd definitely try and get a 567🤷♂️
@@KonmanxX Holy shit!
Thanks you are very honest person thanks nice tool box tour
I love the rebranded grypmats from Harbor Freight! I'm going to pick up the other ones when I can get there.
If it works it works ya know, I won't complain a bit
@@KonmanxX I would also recommend getting the magnetic pads from Matco, they are awesome for setting your tools on while doing overheads. I've been wrenching on semis for 3 years now while going to college to be an engineer. I work on all pre-emissions trucks thank god haha
@@jaredroll2093 actually I have 2, I caught one on fire by accident and the other is on the back of the double bay. I forgot to show that!
Nice box and tools!
When you use a torque adapter if your anything other than 90 degrees off the head your either adding or removing torque from the torque wrenche
We are all very aware of that, it's only used if you can't get directly on one
Im about to start at Peterbilt, I’m not too knowledgeable and I’m coming in at an entry level with a good understanding of vehicles but minimal experience. This is two years in and it looks like you’re doing complex stuff, when you made this a profession where did you start?
Honestly the first year you're the low man, so taking out trash greasing trucks, oil changes etc. I got into the more advanced stuff by luck. A guy blew out his shoulder so I was his hands for diag and repairing while he taught me what to do and how to do it. It'll take time for sure but you'll be fine. Just listen to the old guys and the younger guys, you'll find out who's good at what things and who's willing to help you out. Before you ask a question or ask for help make sure you have everything you did written down or recorded to show you at least tried before giving up.
@@KonmanxX ok, that’s actually some really helpful advice. I’ll make sure to do that. I’m prepared to be a grease man for a while but when I saw your toolbox and “after two years” in the title I was so confused as to how you got there so fast. That’s great that you got that opportunity though. Thanks for the response!
Nice tour... just subscribed.. stay safe
Good set up, where did u get the y cable adapter? Im at the pete store in ringgold
I put the link for it in the description for ya, hopefully it'll get a little drop in price. Still where it's at now I think is worth it
Bro I use the kool-aid cap too lol super convenient
It's Kustom
@@KonmanxX best tool I have lol
💯
Nice video man! Did that torque adapter come in a set or did you buy that one single? I've been noticing those in alot of box tours.
Mine did not no, but you can get the whole get. There is a separate one for sae and meric though. I think they are a little over 130 per set?
Your smart. No reason to rack up tens of thousands of debt on snap on
tool went missing and u know where it is?? that someone might also go "missing" lol
Great video. Are you able to buy matco online or does it have to be from a tool truck? im from the UK but most of my tools are american as i have a US forwarding address so i ship to the US and they send it over to me here in the UK. i like the look of those colored magnetic trays and the matco locking ratchet, will buy if possible
Yes you can buy matco online, the trays are ezred not matco though
@@KonmanxX thanks for reply mate, ill look out for the ezred trays
We have the exact same roll cart!
I love this thing. So happy I bought it
ThePeteDoctor I like it a lot, but I’m not allotted enough space at my current shop to actually roll around, so it sits next to my roll cab all the time
@@automedic9781 lucky our shop is big enough, most of the guys push around 3 and 4 bays with hutches and lockers but I'm slowly getting them to get carts🤣. I've got 3 senior guys to switch so far though lol
@@KonmanxX it's so much more efficient with a cart.. you CAN teach an old dogs new tricks
Nice collection. Doesn’t matter what brand u have as long as it works. U like working at peterbilt?
Thanks buddy! Yes I do most days, sometimes it goes all course but for the most part it's like a bunch of teenagers with a of experience. I wouldn't want to trade any of the guys or my bosses honestly!
@@KonmanxX what area u in? I’m at mhc in North Carolina. I often wondered about peterbilt vs mhc kenworth. I enjoy my job though
@@6.4DieselDoctor I'm at JX in Illinois sadly, but I much prefer Pete's, they have demons but nowhere close to those clutch linkages and things like that
Where did you pick up that thing you use to hang drive lines and what's the name thanks in advance and awesome set up bro
It's a ratcheting rope, I got her from Amazon for like 25 bucks I tn
Think
@@KonmanxX thanks good sir!
I hate pulling a stick shift on any paccar truck, unnecessary shit everywhere.
That’s the best cart I love the silver vein
Nice
Clean box my dude, keep up the good work 👍
I’m looking to become a apprentice at a peterbilt dealership wouod you recommend working there and what do you use more for sockets sae or metric?
Honestly you will use both metric and SAE, 15/16, 13mm 15mm 8mm Allen 5/16 Allen 13/16, 32mm and a whole lot more. I've honestly switched to Ag side and I'm now at Deere. I got tired of constantly working on the same thing everyday with a different paint job, along with I hated having to run abs and chassis harnesses in 579's at least 1 time if not 3 times a week. I loved the guys I worked with but everything became repetitive to the point you could almost predict what truck had what codes before you even hooked up to it. Not a bad place to work though, just depends on what you like doing!
@@KonmanxX alright thanks man that helps alot
Where’d you get the nox sensor rethread tool????
Amazon from lisle
So left my old job since my last comment been in a Trans shop for the last10 months and love it got a match 80s cart on impulse love it and it has worked great but I am already starting to out grow it if I have all my tools at work and not at home it would definitely be full but what do ppl think on a cheap box like 45 56inch size I love the 2s but I don't want to spend 5g on a box I want to put my money in tools want to look at the new us general box to come out in the Grey but what do other ppl suggest for boxes under a grand I have not seen much good used in my area that is not over priced
Honestly if I had to do it again I'd just go with the HF general boxes, the full drawer carts specifically. Stack one of the side lockers if you can find one on the side for the bigger stuff and be set if that makes any sense
Yeah I looked at it and the price is fantastic for what you get that is for sure have you seen the new box they released at Sema they will be out this spring and I am sure I will still be kicking my feet so I am kinda anxious to get my hands on one if it's in the 500 700 price I might get one and sell my matco cart and pay off my bill lol you have a sweet set up by the way I posted short video on mine after I got it but I have way more stuff and need to do a update tour
@fishing montana I did I saw Koon trucking when he was looking at it. If I had to guess the double bay would be around 900-1.1k. I've got the matco cart still and I've thought about switching to the hf one because it's actually bigger and a little deeper for usable space it seems. I only paid 800ish for the matco though so that's why I have it still.
@@KonmanxX you have the Jamestown cart right
@@KonmanxX and for 800 that's a killer deal you can probably sell it for that pay for the hf and still have 200
My brother passed and I need to sell his diesel tools and tool cart. 🛠 I'm going to send flyer to mechanic schools and truck repair shops. Can you give me any other areas I should try?
Sorry for your loss. Facebook market place is where a lot of people look for 2nd hand tools. Ebay is another platform.
Great job keep it on
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏
Curious what brand is that speaker
It's an ultimate ears boom 2
When you warranty broken tools do you need your receipt?
What brands? For matco and snapon no, for capri you just type in your original order number from wherever you got it like Amazon or from them and they usually send it out same day no questions asked
@@KonmanxX ok thank you, how about at harbor freight?
@@dambroangling2828 no sir, just walk in, and had it to them then they'll give you a new one
How aboit an update video, bud? How's it going as a Peterbilt tech??
I actually filmed one but I'm no longer at Pete, I've switched to John Deere to try and see if I was missing out on something. I haven't released the video because I assumed most of the fellas that watched these were in the Truck field which to me, would have been a slap in the face to them
@@KonmanxX nah, you ain't gotta worry about others. Just keep doing your thing, bro. May I encourage you to upload the video?
@Antonio Orozco well since you asked nicely lol. Yeah I'll post her up on Sunday. I probably just film a new one. I did realize recently my timeline has been way off because I was at Pete for 4 years and I've been at Deere for a year 🤣
@@KonmanxX sounds good. Maybe you can make a video on your experience working for Peterbilt? That would be cool to hear. Can't wait for the next vid. Hope you keep making content.
@@KonmanxX post the video, would love to see the update and I know others would too
Are you guys flat rate over there?
No sir, flat rate is a cheap cheating system honestly
What's the green plastic tool in your hand @ 2 min?
its a j1939 adapter for my 16 and new can communications to the trucks, Pete switched some wires truck side and if you dont have the adapted you cant communicate
