I ran over a milwaukee m18 grease gun with a Cat 816F landfill compactor and the 5ah battery still works to this day, the grease gun was toast though cracked one of the magnets in the motor.
Excellent tool cabinet tour. Really very organized, a place for everything. And you gave me some much needed ideas to better my tool cabinet outlay. So Thanks ever so much for that. All the best.
Green soft face dead blow hammer is a piston hammer. Instead of using hammer handle or wood stick. Engine builders tool. If you do 1 engine a year you probably will use wood hammer handle.
I'm interested to see more videos down the line on what it's like being a traveling contract mechanic! Especially since (based on the ring) you have a family and how you guys will balance the traveling for work life. I've been at a deere construction dealer for not quite 2 years and am leaving at the end of this week. I'm going to be a plant mechanic at an asphalt plant for a large asphalt and heavy highway construction company. Only thing I'm worried about is missing just wrenching on equipment like you said. Best of luck on your new adventure.
The schedule is 2 weeks on and 1 week off so I will definitely be making the most out of every min I’m home with the family. It’s coming to terms with the fact I’m gonna miss important stuff is what is gonna be hard.
Short term pain, long term gain. I'm 38 and have traveled in Healthcare for 7 years. I can now work part time the rest of my life because of the amount I made and saved, which I will be doing after my current contract. Going to the Philippines for 6 months to upgrade our property there.
Congratulations on the new job brother. My favorite 3/8 locking flex ratchet is the Matco unit. The handle is a good design but it's the lock that I like. I'm interested in getting a Snap On with the new lock. Although to be honest I do not use the lock that often. I'm like you, a little maintenence goes a long way. Edit. I'm a old Tech, ASE in 87 but wrenching since the mid 70s. I have all the new battery powered play things but I miss the sound of a shop full of air tools screaming. We use to buy these high flow QDs from a old hydraulic hose making shop. Waking up a air tool is exactly right. Make sure you have plenty of oil, she will need it.
The new snap on locking flex design has a fatter head, I’m gonna continue using my matco 3/8th’s and 1/4. And use half inch snap on tho, I trust them a bit more.
I’ve dropped Milwaukee drills from 20 feet and they still work . most of our batteries in construction look like that one you ran over because the contractors are too cheap to buy new new batteries
Love the Milwaukee power tools I love snap on I have is that same 3/8 gun you showed no one ever expects it to work for what I pull it out for but she does if a 3/8 can she can, the only other one I got snap on is the long 3/8 battery ratchet it’s sick outside of that can’t beat Milwaukee price and usually out perform snap on but I will admit the m18 high torque impact although I think the tool is the best the batteries always have issues and I know the snap on one doesn’t plus I’ve seen snap on snap off lug nut studs on a brand new F550 service truck which was prob wrong use for the tool but it does have power for sure Milwaukee prob would have done the same without breaking the stud but shows the snap on hits harder per impact hit
man you have the perfect attitude for diesel life. When you are equipped its alot more fun and this is how i felt when i worked for deere... hoping for the bigger shit thats not always in. I'm using my old mans computer in the house so you definitely gained 2 new subs man. I got out the dealer years ago and started my own thing. Jared Lange. keep on wrenching man and hope to see what you get into next. they never liked me filming anything
Nice tool set!! By the way yes there was/ is a security system chip key for the C model skid steers and simular machines. The key was yellow and was called the master key. You key on and Start the machine then shut off and had a timer so you could use a standard cat key. It took a differ switch and had to be programmed and configured on ET using factory passwords.
Thank you for sharing your toolbox/toolcart inventory. Very nice toolbox. Very nicely organized too. Keep on building your collection of tools. Gregg "Critter" Muse
People hate the buttons I’ll tell you man as good as my snap ons hold sockets I’m with you especially trying to get off allen sockets that button is worth it in the heavy equipment we got hydraulic oil or compressor oil soaked dirt all around everything they get hard to snatch off I’m gonna get a 3/8 quick release bc the 1/4 one I got is heavenly
At the 5:00 minute mark you reference modifying your box. I am in 100% agreement. I just commented on another video the other day, asking why the auto techs seemingly refuse to do mods to their stuff. For clarity, I am an Industrial Electrical Maintenance Tech, not an auto or HE guy. I have about 6 boxes and all of them have been "adjusted" to fit the needs I had when I was using them. Once I outgrow that particular box, or I need something different, I just buy another box. LOL However, being in manufacturing, I do NOT buy Snap-On, Matco, Mac, or any of the expensive stuff. That may be the difference. When you work around almost 200 people, the chances of sticky fingers goes WAY up. I have 5 boys so, keeping the older boxes and tools makes sense to me.
@@theotherwhiteguy1 It would have to be on Marketplace or Craigslist. For some odd reason, the tool truck guys refuse to visit most manufacturing plants in our area.
I already have the transducer but if you could find the part number for the silencer that would be amazing! I've considered using a CAT tank breather but every time I think about it I'm in a freaking hurry and never do it.
Will say I have the snap on 3/8s impact like yours I haven't had such good luck with the batteries owned it for a month and both batteries that came with the kit broke internally love the gun tho
Hey love these videos. Hate the snap on pliers. They fucking rust if you look at them wrong. Something I do to them that works great is get a bottle of gun blue, and blue them fuckers. They won’t rust as easily, and the bluing will hold a little oil, just like black oxide tools, so they won’t rust really at all unless left out in the rain.
Sweet rig, buddy! Ive got a Craftsman Industrial 36" roll cab and a variety of socket tools, mostly Craftsman but i do have some Snap-on, Mac, Matco, SK and others as well as the usual suspects for supporting tools like Knipex, Vice-grip, Channel-lock etc etc. I have 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive soc$kets, standard and deep, 6-pt and 12-pt and sizes 4mm thru 36mm, 3/16" thru 1-5/16". Ive got well over $15k in that rig. After having used my tools for 35+ years im beginning to wonder why? WHY? Why do i have EVERY size socket when i only ever use the common sizes like for metrics its 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 27, 32 and 36 mm? Its worse with standard sockets. I generally only use 3/16", 1/4", 5/¹6", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16" yada yada yada . I rarely if ever use the 32" or 64" sizes. Im beginning to think its probably better to just buy the sockets you use and skip those in between sizes. I think they only exist as a marketing ploy to buy the 236 piece set instead of the 100 piece. What say you, do you ever use those odd sizes?
Not very often. But I’m seeing now is more brands are using those odd ball sizes. Doesn’t hurt to have. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it
When you worked at ring power did y’all have the “Efficiency” bonus system? We have that here at Yancey and I was wondering if it’s standard for all cat dealers
It’s built like brick shit house. But it’s really tall and I’m only 5’9” so the to of the box is to my chest. Other than the height that isn’t the boxes fault I have found nothing I don’t like
Best tool i see in there is the cross . I am a mechanic and tire technician on a farm and my faith is the only tool that’s versatile and gets me though many tough jobs . Prayer is effective and if God wants to help us out of addictions and the darkness then he would love to help you do a tire or align a heavy piece of equipment. God is Great Jesus Christ is the way . Hallelujah 🎉
You say you won’t pay the money snap on wants for crows feet but you buy all these matco tools that are not even made by matco ??? Hmmmm confused I am lol
u just don't wanna admit Milwaukee is just as good as snap off.. if not better tbh but for a fraction of the cost😂 snap on fanboys always remind me of those stupid kinds who use to buy designer clothes, that were retardedly expensive nd it all came down to the name aka status... not so much for the "quality" as they like to tell themselves loool.
Yea I think Milwaukee is such shit I have a fleet of it and keep buying Milwaukee shit til this day. I don’t have to justify buying snap on I just do because I can.
I was raised with concept that one shows their lack of education when every other word is a cuss word. You, sir, lack education. Please find another way to express yourself.
Get a life. All you can do all day is make comments like that while this man busts his ass off day in day out to keep the roads you drive and the ground you walk safe and working the least yo could do is keep you dumb opinion to yourself. He is probably more of a man and figure you will ever be.
I ran over a milwaukee m18 grease gun with a Cat 816F landfill compactor and the 5ah battery still works to this day, the grease gun was toast though cracked one of the magnets in the motor.
I dropped a 1/2 inch milwaukee impact from 2 floors it was scratch up but still worked

We call those Perkins here where I work Perkapillars
Definitely my favorite tool box review. I love the honesty. Just got into mechanical work and starting to get more tools and getting a bigger box.

I have a green obsession myself and I love the color of that Mac box with the flat black trim!

I just got the new 3/8 locking flex head I’ll let y’all know how it is
Ktech_47.. I subbed when you said you're in Florida.. Me too. That is a piston hammer for installing pistons into a block.. Ok back to the video..
Get you a pair of Tillman 850 welding gloves. Get you a 30 inch blue point cresent wrench. Nice set up. Awesome Mac tool box
There is a cat chip key. They are yellow instead of black. Worked on a 416 that had one.
I’ve dropped Milwaukee drills from 20 feet and they still work . most of our batteries in construction look like that one you ran over because the contractors are too cheap to buy new new batteries
I enjoy your commentary, very sarcastic and made me laugh alot.

I never knew that. That’s some interesting cat history
I'm with you on the standard flexhead ratchets! Let em hate!
The amount of people that will get up in arms over someone saying they like a reg flex head is unsettling 😂
Thank you for sharing your toolbox/toolcart inventory. Very nice toolbox. Very nicely organized too. Keep on building your collection of tools.

Used snap on boxes and older matco boxes can be had for stupid cheap if you look hard enough. That’s what I’d do in your line of work.
@@theotherwhiteguy1 It would have to be on Marketplace or Craigslist. For some odd reason, the tool truck guys refuse to visit most manufacturing plants in our area.
You have a nice set up,best of luck on your new job be safe.
Why don’t you buy the cat branded tools if you work for cat? Just rebranded snap-on and you get your employee discount
Piston hammer mate. I've just used the hammer handle to push pistons in
Nice tools. I'm obsessed with sk screwdrivers
Commenting on the video for the algorithm
I already have the transducer but if you could find the part number for the silencer that would be amazing! I've considered using a CAT tank breather but every time I think about it I'm in a freaking hurry and never do it.
That hammer is for hammering in pistons into cylinders bores in an engine block
I'm In diesel school and the green hammer is definitely a piston hammer
Looking forward to more videos to come.
Funny thing is cat do make keys with a chip in them now, started seeing them in next gen machines in Australia
Patrick here nice tool collection 👍👍
That green long dead blow in the Mac box is a piston hammer
Time 10 1/2 minutes. Piston hammer. Got one that’s shop supply. But goes missing for weeks too often
Will say I have the snap on 3/8s impact like yours I haven't had such good luck with the batteries owned it for a month and both batteries that came with the kit broke internally love the gun tho
good lookin shit, good to see real people !
Piston Hammer is that big green SK hammer.
Is that the heavy duty 36" snap on Roll Cart?

I enjoy your videos man. You talk like a shitbag like me. Cheers from a firefighter that just loves tools from KY.

Very nice set up.

Is that cat wire 2629959 like regular 14g rebar wire? And how much is it?
When you worked at ring power did y’all have the “Efficiency” bonus system? We have that here at Yancey and I was wondering if it’s standard for all cat dealers
No we did not
We do not either at Holt
We do at empire

Saludos amigo desde Colombia. Me gustaría poder charlar sobre mecánica y trabajo .feliz día
Apparently YOU DON'T KNOW about THE Matco locking flex-head ratchets!!!
Oh but I do. I sold them all. Not a fan
Who did you say the company is you went to work for

Your language doesn’t bother me it’s interesting though given the Jesus cross you have displayed.
What color is that mac toolbox, that’s sick
Demon green. It’s only on the HD

Riddlin works just fine
Where do you get your air-vac thing?
