    What could be a great seller for you is a very minimalist, non-vehicle-wrenching homeowner collection. Just a few common sizes for each tool, adaptable/adjustable solutions for everything else. Same with the power tools. You could package it with other things along the same theme: tape measures, levels, flashlights, stud finder, clamps, utility knife, etc. So someone not working on cars but buying a house can just buy that and be (mostly) good.

    At some point I would love to see Obsessed garage tackle the “oh shit drawer”. The drawer you reach for when the bolts are stripped or broken like gearwrench bolt biters, grip edge hex (aka MAC rbrt) reverse drill bits, taps, helicoils etc. There are so many companies selling cheap taps I would love to see Matt dive through that

    Most of us spend huge amounts of money on our tool sets and I would like an OG tool care center in your cabinets line and/or included in your gararge designs, to include a tool wash/care area possibly a partly enclosed section like a sand blast cabinet to allow for higher pressure tool washing w/o the mess of overspray or worry about skin contact for more caustic cleaning agents. Ultra sonic cleaning section for tools with power wash tool cleaning brushes and a finishing section including a temp. controlled air drying convection chamber and an area to apply protective coating to the tools after cleaning making putting away ones tools and caring for them a pleasent organized task that need not be hurried but rather efficient and organized in the true OG fashion.

    Those Gearwrench spline drive wrenches are really useful for tight to reach e-torx bolts. For certain BMW oil filter housing gaskets, there's a coolant hose that blocks access to one of the E10 bolts, so usually an 8mm spline drive ratcheting wrench is used to loosen/tighten the bolt without removing the hose and draining coolant. Many such other applications. It's one of those get out of jail free tools.

    The Knipex line is incredible. Every time I get a new tool from Knipex I find a use for it, and continue to use all of my Knipex. As for torque wrenches, I think you’re on the right track with the 1Nm to 1000Nm, and personally I’ve found that having split beam torque wrenches and having digital torque wrenches are both necessary. I do everything from chassis work, to electrical, to engine builds. It feel wrong to beat up on the digital torque wrench while doing brakes, but gives me so much more confidence when torque head bolts. Is a digital 1/4” drive torque wrench necessary, probably not. I’ve never come across a torque to yield bolt that is less than 5ft lbs which my tech angle 3/8” will do no problem. My personal favorite torque wrenches are the Snapon A-Tech, because they just make sense to me and are incredibly accurate, and the precision instruments split beams, the click is always easy to feel, build quality is good, and I’ve never had one out of spec when sent in for calibration. I would love to try all the torque wrenches, they’re awesome. People judge me for it but I torque every fastener while working, id be really curious which torque wrench has the best fit and finish and holds up to abuse the best.

    Some input from a almost daily user of Stahlwille (torque wrench and open box 13) and Knipex pliers here is some input:
    The quick adjust. Stahlwilles are great for general fast work like switching between M10-M16 fasterners, wouldn`t use it on engine internals tho. Not for lack of precision but the scale isn`t suited for that type of work. The 725QR/20 head is wonderful except it breaks far to easy. It`s rated for 200Nm and not much more then that will break the teeth. I now use the 735/20 head instead.
    Open box 13 is by far my favorite wrench because of their lightness and feel in the hand, especially when you get up to the bigger sizes. Also love the finish on them (same with Knipex in some cases) in that they are only machined/polished were it`s needed for the function of the tool on other areas they can be a bit rough but the will wear in beatifully if you use them.
    The Knipex Cobras are a must have but without the comfort grip, makes them way too bulky and you loose the feedback to your hands. My favorite size is the 180, it`s amazing how much you can use it. As for the quick adjusting type the _only_ benefit I`ve found with those is the ability to flick it with one hand to adjust the size while you`re holding something you can`t let go with your other hand.
    As for the ”drama” with blue/white/whatever collar thing. I don`t get why people feel attacked/offended by this. Some like/need a ”pigsty” to work in, others like a middle ground and some just want an extended livingroom. It`s what ever floats your goat people.

    Ok Matt, here I go (at the risk of typing all this, and you not reading it). As I've said before, I love your brand, I love your talent and personalities. I've said before that it's amazing that you've created a brand that draws guys in to watch other guys wash cars and hang shelves. So cool. Kudos (again) on that.
    Sooo... That being said, I hope you take this man to man, and not from some shitty keyboard warrior.
    I was a flat-rate mechanic, Snap-On fan boy for many years, and have spent 35 years in the service department in and around tools. I'm now white collar (still in the service department) so my $50k collection of tools are now at home. Most are Snap-On, Blue-Point, MATCO, with a few Cornwell, Craftsmen, Gearwrench, and Crescent brands as fill-ins, since I don't rely on them for daily use, productivity, and my paycheck.
    So here's my point: I can see why the guys you're simply calling "Blue Collar", are butt-hurt. You do seem condescending at times. At one point in this video, you say, "I don't use tools, I hate using them, I hate fixing things" (para-phrasing). That right there is going to get those blue collar guys "judging you" and calling you out, because you just spoke down to their career, job, and livelihood. Right there, you've insulted them. They're going to discount what you say from there on out. Not long after you made that statement, you then say something to the effect, "I'll pick out the tools I think you'll need". Well man, I'll tell ya what. That's a hard for even me to swallow, given your resume of real life tool usage in your career. That's a mighty bold statement. "YOU are going to tell ME what I need?"
    So maybe just a bit more situational awareness of your audience, may net you fewer butt-hurt viewers. That being said, maybe your demographic isn't the guy whose fingers are so swollen and stained from working on machines all day that they look like big fat cat turds that have been digging in charcoal all day long. So be it. If your main focus is rich guys that collect shiny chrome hand tool they'll never use because they enjoy the way the jewelers lighting reflects off them, still... so be it. Just don't feel you have to defend yourself from one party if you're trying to attract the other.
    Also, I do LOVE your comparison of the various toolboxes, prices, and advantages of their (physical) strengths and weakness. It would be great to see a video of the "top five" boxes, side by side. That flex you displayed was pretty cool. It would speak volumes if you had a Snap-On right there to A-B-C compare to, since you called them out on price. If what you're saying is true with regard to price and quality of these brands shown, everybody with a Snap-On should be trading them in tomorrow.
    Again, I mean this as constructive as possible. I say this from a guy that's also a 2 channel audio, home theater, OCD, carnivore diet, car dude, tool freak, and I've even rented a VRBO in Helen Georgia. So yea man. Rock on. Please take my words as friendly.

      Great, great post! I read it twice. I said this type of stuff about detailers too when I dug into detailing. They generally can’t be helped. They are usually dug into a position. It didn’t matter what I said, so I just say what is so. I hate polishing. It sucks. I would never polish if I wasn’t addicted to the result. Mechanics are the same type of people. They can’t hear what I am saying. I don’t want to use a tool unless I have to use one. The goal with paint is to polish less or never. The goal of a tool is to only have it if I need it. All that other baggage these people add has nothing to do with what I said. Quality recognition doesn’t take use to recognize. Do we really think the engineers making the tools are using them all day? I’ll give everyone the answer. It is no.

    @35:28 those digital ones from StahlWille though expensive are unmatched in reliability and accuracy. I used them a lot when I worked semiconductor industry where we used them for pretty much every application of fastening with almost every type of exotic metal fastener you can think of. They also seem to stay in calibration for a very long time, even when used incorrectly. It also stores the data on its misuse, so if you're a shop for example you can track down the employee who's using it to break bolts loose or who's over torqueing the bolts and how many times it has been over torqued. The ability to switch between a lot of different presets instantly with a few button clicks doesn't hurt either. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions on them!

    I def think you are overlooking Whia. While they are geared more toward electricians, their screwdrivers are by far my favorite in the hand and made in Germany. They also have the purple grip which are actually great for real mechanics who work in a messy garage as they are made to grip with wet oily hands. Their sockets aren’t snap-on quality and their pliers aren’t Knipex but they aren’t that bad, at least Sonic level (I think screwdrivers are made in Germany and other stuff is Taiwan or Czech). Lastly, they also have really nice foam inlays that actually fit perfect in those steel kargomaster van drawers literally everyone uses. Whia def belongs in any discussion that Wera is in.

    I can't speak for all professions, but i worked 5 years as an electrician and work on my own cars. I wouldn't recommend buying these massive toolkits and powertool slections. Buy in small increments and only what you need. Buying a 1300 piece kit just gets you a bunch of unused tools. For handtools, I mostly just used the stuff I had in a carefully curated pouch. Then I had a few more tools that I used at lower frequency in the van. For anyone interested, my handtools are mostly Wiha and Wera and my powertools are Makita.

      I assembled several 'General Maintenance Technician's Kits' for my work center in the military. The trick was to keep the total quantity down since everything had to be inventoried daily and tools have a habit of walking away when you're not looking. Most flight lines also have strict FOD requirements which force technicians to use foam inlays and not every brand offered through GSA has a factory layout. The flight check team I worked with had a strict rule that all of their tools had to fit in 2-3 Pelican cases that could be shipped to the facility.

      Simple and easy to find is a valid argument, but you can't really compare a race team to a guy in his garage who likes to have a complete set of tools that can handle any vehicle that might come into his possession. Race cars tend to have limited fastener sizes, easier access and there is a more well-defined range of scenarios that they encounter.

    You can fix 90% or stuff on German vehicles with the Gedore Red 172 piece set, a set of metric wrenches, a few screwdrivers, a few pliers, a 1/2 breaker bar, a 3/8 long flex head, some torque wrenches and an OBD2 code reader. I say this as someone with well into the six figures in tools. One idea I have had for a long time is to sell vehicle specific kits like they do for motorcycles. I am sure you could sell Porsche owners on kits that had all the common and not so common tools for their particular Porsche. I have built my own, and helped others do the same, but there is nothing commercially available. It’s particularly helpful to not have sizes that don’t exist on your car. You could start with a service kit for GT Porsches. 3/4 torque wrench, the oil filter socket, the allens for the drains, proper flare but wrench, spark plug wrench, the e-Torx for the coils to get to the plugs, the Torx for the diffuser etc. with the basic sockets, wrenches, pliers etc. I put that together for myself, but it was annoying to figure out what was not present, what was the best tool to get to the plugs etc.

    Way back when Lista was the "deluxe Lista" company they had the same exact design and the Rousseau cabinet with the welding tie bar. I have many old Lista cabinets like that. They also had metal bearings. So I would say the old Lista stuff was the best stuff money could buy. I have almost 1000 LBS of tooling in drawers that are rated at 440 LBS. Don't try that with any of the new stuff. I know you have to buy and sell new stuff but old Lista was like that Rousseau one you have today so I am not sure how they have the "patent" on it as you said.

    You should take a look at PB Swiss screwdrivers.

I love knipex, wiha and wera, but the PB Swiss stuff is very nice. Everything from the material in the grip, to the machining is 👌

    If you’re going the Lista/Rousseau route you have to start using red Schaller Bins with dividers and foam. Ditch the pegboard setup in the drawers. OG needs a laser and a light box so you can start making your own shadow foam and drawer kits. Seriously though, Schaller bins. We have 24 listas in our shop, all full of red Schaller bins with things in them. It will take everything to another level. Just my .02”.

    I think a magnet system is even better than tool grid and foam. You can upgrade your tool set you can add and there is zero wasted space. You can move things were you need to. Don’t get me wrong toolgrid is nice and but your still wasting money and real estate in a box. Just my 2 cents the only thing is have the ability to design my own organizers there are some out there but not every single item. Maybe one day you ditch the foam idea and realize the money is getting your own OG modular tool organizers!

    Wera screwdrivers? If you’re going to say Shtalvillah, then say Vera. And you say PB Swiss is too old school? Santoprene in the SwissGrip is probably the best material since Merino wool. That’s the problem with these curated tools: they are only the things Matt thinks feels good in his hand. That’s unfortunate, since the OG sheeple will miss out on some very good stuff (like PB Swiss, Marvel, Wright Tools, and so much more).
