3 things i would add here number 1 oil filter claw they come in handy when you need it, number 2 rubber mallet that way you dont damage a wheel accidentally smacking it with a dead blow hammer, and lastly a long handle flex head ratchet for those stupid 10 mm chevy drain plus right next to the exhaust that will rip your hands they are easy to strip and a long handle flex head makes them so much easier.

04:00 Ingersoll, agreed brother 👍

Why do you need sae? Unless you work on diesel, heavy equipment or pre 1970’s classics there is no need for SAE sockets. New Techs should definitely focus on metric then get sae if needed down the line and also know how to convert metric to sae. 1/8”=3.2mm

If an employer says you have to spend a thousand dollars before you walk in on your first day, go some where else "don't walk in" to that job, go somewhere else that respects your income, be patient buy these things over a year or so

Lmao i'm starting at Lube City with zero experience and only a mastercraft socket set in 2 hours... Hopefully my boss ain't this cunty!

This might be the worst person to work for. What a jerk

Thanks

Being a lube tech id say buy a oil filter claw rather, much more convenient and can fit in small spots, most spin on you can spin off with hand honestly just give it a try before going to get your wrench’s or claws

the Ingersoll rand is the better buy same power 1/2 the price. my last on lasted 12 years.

You don't want to be a mechanic.

A normal Ball pene hammer and a yellow handle harbor freight 5 lb sledge will do anything you need done.

If you are smart you won't ever even see the inside of a tool truck especially not when your general service period just go to harbor freight and buy two of them if you don't want to go craftsman

That’s crazy! 🤯🤣🔥🔥🔥

man, i have grown so much watching this video. im a general service technician and i have grown so beyond this video.

Easily one of the best advice videos I’ve watched. Thanks.

Pretty bad as a shop owner/tech telling the DO’s and DON’Ts but yet @7:00 says get yourself a 10oz but realizes it’s a 40oz hammer but that should be clear if you’re a tech, that’s embarrassing; even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can tell you by feel nevermind looking at it 😂 🤣 🤣

Dad's ball peen hammer is fine if it's 32oz. But make sure its a good one. Can't go wrong with a Eastwing, under $40. No Harbor Freight green head 5 pack. I've seen the heads fly off in the shop more than a couple occasions. Dont spend $140 on 1 snapper hammer. Ridiculous!

Do you need to go to trade school to be hired by a lube shop?

I agree with everything you've said but the oil filter wrench I disagree with everyone should have one but don't be dependent on them work on your grip and do all filters by hand doesn't matter how strong or weak the person is every filter can be removed and replaced by hand and I've seen way too many people over dependent on the filter wrenches and damage the filters or housing or just be a sitting duck when the tool walks off on it's own plus it helps build strength which makes the rest of the tasks much easier

Aviation maintenance is where it’s at. Forget all the metric tool bullshit

Got it. Don't borrow

I like a magnet and non magnetic pick up tool that saves me more than I like to admit

We got the same truck and mine also can’t with a camper except mine is white and I have the 4.3L

Thanks bud

I don't know if it's different in America than here in Ireland but as a day 1 apprentice mechanic, we have nothing. My fellow mechanics are actually surprised that I have the majority of necessary tools going into my second year. But good advice, it always feels wrong asking to borrow things.

My husky rips off anything. 100 bucks cant go wrong.

Hmmm, alternate title: Tools you need if everyone at your shop is an asshole. I went into my career with nothing and learned from the people around me what I need to get the job done. Just build your tools over time, that way your not forking out all your money on them tool truck tools that cost an arm and a leg. Harbor freight’s your best bet when starting.

I wonder if using a heatgun on the seal would speed the process up

What did you do about the fuel ? Cause I did the same swap but my pump won’t come on since I don’t have the module

Unless you are working on really old stuff or big trucks SAE isn’t really needed. I wouldn’t waste money on SAE until you have a good metric set. I would also recommend a filter claw socket over filter pliers so you can get into tight spaces.

This video was very helpful I work in a body and auto shop that has contracts for commercial fleets..I guess I got lucky I have a mentor who lets me use his tools since mine were dirt amateur and incomplete..I’m talking thin wall sockets a cheap knock off amazon impact wrench , two wrenches and a ratchet husky set for carpentry..I had my own but they were embarrassing..the rules are true always ask and return to where you got the borrowed tool and yes if you use more than a couple times ask if they’d like to sell you the tool OR what deals they know about where you can get one..my shop doesn’t mind so much everyone is well organized and waist deep in tools except me..I’ve been working for a month and just now was told which tools I should buy - wrenches ratchets impacts (I prefer air like the guy said , just simply more power off the rip & good 6point sockets and yes stay away from the 12points!! Harbor Freight is your friend not the tool truck when you start out that will be foreign land ..but this video was very helpful especially the Toyota filters cuz I literally borrowed one today when I had to show and prove. Anyone who thinks this guy was mean or too stern you might wanna rethink what your getting into this was straight to the point just like being a mechanic will be. PS I went to school for automotive systems tech but nothing will prepare for you for the real deal and you won’t truly learn until you get dirty so forreal take these tips into consideration

I’ve seen people swap to c5 corvette breaks. Have you looked into the weight of that setup?

So what you are depicting is just bust the darn thing out. Wow that a lot of effort.

A complete set of filter wrenches (there are soooo many now!), torque sticks should be considered a shop tool and be supplied. Never liked the pliers, prefer a strap wrench if I don’t have the right cup set.

DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!!! you almost had him...

the husky 1/2 impacts are actually pretty good to start off with

get you an impact and a box you will actually be able to work on vehicles get you a decent set of wrenches harbor freight is youre friend you don’t need them tool trucks fr

How did that radiator from superior radiator work out for you? Seems hot &miss judging from reviews

Useful video. Thanks for posting. 🤙

ahhh love to see another dime coming to life as you can see for my profile pic i just put lambo hinges on mine and fun fact if you take out the door compartments and go with lexan you save 40 lbs per door

After getting hired on, this dude is seriously being anal about almost everything lol. Everyone knows getting into this field, it takes a while to accumulate the bare necessary tools, let alone all the other stuff. Take everything he said with a pound of salt

those pop clips are so annoying on the undercarriage’s

How many 6 packs did you have your get to do your frame?

Good vid! Thanks bud!

I just stumbled across channel a lot of good information thank you for keeping it real. Most people today don’t understand you need to have a basic set of tools

looks awesome! you did a fantastic job. I've used por 15 ever since I discovered it existed in the late '90s. it is truly great stuff. And you never have to worry about the frame rusting again . 👍

Buy a BP EFI Harness and never fool with this overpriced garbage !

You still have the truck? Haven't seen any updates in a min. I'm getting ready to put mine together soon. Really like the videos showing stock weight parts. Gives me an idea where to start to cut weight. Hope to see more vids soon.

Nitrous backfire aww shit thats bad sorry to see that
