1 Month Tool Box Tour! Husky 80 Inch.

[@CanadianCharlie64]

You should do an update every month to let us see how the box is holding up and what new tools you have added since the last video. You seem like the kind of person who buys the tools he needs and not go overboard. Great video as always and keep up the great work. Your lucky to have the Rustbelt Mechanic and Capt. Ron advising you on what you need and giving you tools, not too many people go out of their ways to help others these days. Please let us know what jobs you are doing as well. Good luck and be safe

[@v8gaming998]

Mcbake. We would love this.

[@ericrausch6891]

Just got a new subscriber and a like. Im currently in tech school for diesel technology, i was lucky enough to be gifted SAE and Metric Snap-on flank drive wrenches I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM they grip 99% of anything ive put them on.

[@davidpinnix7446]

Good video ! Rustbelt will not steer you wrong!

[@jamesnielsen100]

I’ve been a mechanic for 10 years now I’ve always wanted a hutch and locker, your video convinced me to go to home depot check it out and I’m sold. This is super cheap but feels like real quality. Thanx for taking the risk to let others know this box is worth it

[@MrZimmaframe]

Get a small set of files and you can file new teeth for Vicegrips and pliers, just because the teeth have because dull doesn’t mean they can’t be sharpened.

[@williamwolff4965]

Every one starts some where. Great video. I love my Matco ratchets

[@gabrielfayad1898]

Hey man I literally just bought this box ....loved ur reviews Could u tell me how to make the laptop bracket ? Thanks ur channel is good

[@MrAntihero1001]

a few things ive learned after being a offroad equip tech for 3 years > a good screwdriver set matters >get a super long handle 1/2 ratchet for anything you would need a standard length breaker bar for >dont buy harbor freight pry bars or anything that could be potentially dangerous from HF lol (had one explode on me) >dont cheap out on drills or impacts go milwaukee >get decent pliers and channel locks mind you over half of my box is HF have learned the hard way what stuff from there is actually decent quality great video and will have to invest in that matco chisel set ! didnt know that existed

[@travismorgan3549]

I would like to see a update every month as well on the toolbox. And tekton has really nice pliers and so does Milwaukee. And gearwrench has really combo wrench’s and sunex has really nice impact sockets.

[@dansanto903]

The fact that rust belt gave you a couple things and helped you out is great wish there was more guys like that in shops most of the lead or master techs are flat out assholes and rather make fun of you than help a brother out but good luck bro! Been a tech for little over the year and my box is close to full lol still need more tools!

[@billbeckett1021]

The best part of having empty drawers is the fun of filling them!!

[@CaptainRon1]

Anything I can do to help!! 👍 great tour man.

[@davidshockey7649]

Definitely recommend the wire plier rack, HF $9.99 16 countvs Amazon 12.99 ABN 16 count, 3 bucks difference depending on how far you gotta travel to get to HF. I keep two 16 count on each side of the drawer facing each other and still have space.

[@johngibson3594]

Cut holes a little bigger and use door edge stuff on it to prevent damage to your impacts. I used to get that stuff free at my dealer ship. Also if the spring stiffness come in on the new car I used to keep them as well .

[@jasonmckeaigg9143]

Never can have to many tools...never sell or pawn your tools ..you can always make money with your tools..gread vid👍

[@cadpateh]

Just got to say love the channel and keep up the good work and your lucky to have the great support of your piers. I have been working as professional mechanic for just over a year and never would have got the start I had without the help of a few key people in my life as I was just coming out a divorce and now I’m well over 10g In tools lol.

[@markquinlan6406]

Good start.

[@GCraigmile]

Good Mechanics help new Mechanics

[@darrylwarnecke3158]

Have had this box for a few months. Not bad at all. Have the matching 72" mobile aswell. I'm not a mechanic tho just a tool junkie! Good luck looks like your off to a good start!!

[@jamesflanary8146]

Also some advice, tool carts are wonderful. I primarily work out of my cart, and my box get used more for a work surface and extra storage. It saves a lot of time putting your most used tools in your cart and leaving them there. Now my cart is about 3/4 the size of my Mac tech series 56” box. And I have all my metric sockets, my ratchets, metric wrenches, pliers screw drivers my electrical diagnostic tools, torque wrench, hammers pry bars most of what you would generally use on a day to day basis. Makes it much easier leaving tools on my cart and just wheeling that around instead of constantly running back and forth or having to take the time to grab the tools from the box load them in the cart, then unload back to your box when finished. Just some food for thought.

[@jamesflanary8146]

Not sure if you have a Cornwell truck, but Milwaukee just released new locking pliers. Best ones I’ve used yet. Zero issues. You can probably find them at Lowe’s as well relatively decent pricing.

[@anthonymcconnaughey8225]

Bout damn time! Lol I've been waiting to see how your mechanic career has been going!

[@Toolaholic7]

The locking pliers,look at the Irwin vice grips or the Milwaukee locking pliers.You don't want the Snap On locking pliers,dealer I deal with will only replace them with the Irwin vice grips under warranty

[@jamesredman4477]

Not shur what ti say

[@altonbarbee8864]

Nice set of tools. I wish i had that much at one month. 28 years now for me and i still buy tools weekly. I just subscribed, good luck with you career.

[@ironrangeautotech8292]

Ya got some pretty nice people to work with. Nice box! I'm in desperate need of them widgets lol. Great video 👍

[@jessetruman5788]

I have the same ridgid impacts. I have a bunch of ridgid 18v. Stuff. Also that plastic basket in your locker I make thoes lol. What part of ohio are you in?

[@CursedGarage]

That ridgid 1/2 is a beast, I use mine all the time!

[@kdtxtooldad]

totally agree, my matco locking flex head is my go to ratchet

[@alejandrogil180]

You'll get there bro 💪

[@justaregularguy3827]

hows this box in 2021

[@mattbrennan8088]

I have not seen that 3pc tool box set that you got, looks great!

[@Michael-yv7sh]

The husky box we use at our shop has been hit and miss. The price point was solid, but the drawer slides haven't held up well. Also the lower box lock mechanism crapped out on us, but that is from someone on second shift trying to break in.

[@greasee.monkey7224]

Nice setup thus far McBake! Way ahead of where I was a month in. You have a great tool selection and two excellent brains to pick (maybe more, but those are the two I know of.), and it appears a good mechanical head on your shoulders. You are off to a great start.

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

Nice setup man! Those Husky tool boxes look like they're pretty solid for the price. You and Rustbelt should do a shop tour if the dealer allows it.

[@johnp1854]

Can you do an update not just on the tools but what kind of jobs you been doing and what maybe has been the worst job you have gotten so far

[@CPthetooladdict]

Great tour thanks for sharing!!!

[@c.r.edmister5223]

It's cool to have a neat looking toolbox but, efficiency is important. You put your tools in a chest that won't move and, have an empty roll cart. Given the amount of tools you have, you could have went with a 7 drawer/flip top (or sliding top) roll cart. It would have plenty of room for growth still too. Then you would have everything mobile and ready to go. When you outgrow it, or start acquiring more specific tools you actually use for your cart, THEN you get a toolbox for your overflow. You're gonna be doing a lot of walking to that box. Even if you put what you think you need in the cart each time, you're gonna forget things or realise you need more tools.

[@justinsnyder6881]

Have you had any problems rounding off fasteners with the wrenches or sockets? Give us a review on your best and worst tools.

[@madmat2821]

Looking great dude fill it up

[@mt1885]

MATCO Ratchets for the WIN! Matco/Snap-On/MAC the BEST tools!

[@cadenmcgowan5161]

cornwall

[@c.r.edmister5223]

Matco doesn't survive in my area. Nobody wants to buy rebranded tools at a premium markup. Especially when you can easily go online and, buy the same tools right from the original manufacturer.

[@billyingram5394]

Where did you get the baskets from on your side locker as well as the clear plastic cases that is in your side locker as well

[@brennansulton340]

My guy all you need is a roll cart like the one to the left of ur box. Start looking into more diag tools volt meter/leads/scan tool?

[@schigara]

Exactly. The more tools the better but the money is made in diagnostics, not wrench turning. Next to the meter, leads and bi-direction scan tool, invest in a scope and learn how to use it.

[@jacksonstorm6395]

A month in , and you think he needs diagnostic equipment ? Way to set a guy up for failure. So in another month when he can't produce , or doesn't hack it he's stuck with equipment, and bill for equipment that he isn't even qualified to use ....real genius advice bro.

[@brennansulton340]

@@jacksonstorm6395 Never buy what you cant afford. All i mean is that the size of that box is not ideal for that first month in like ur talking about. Regardless he needs tools not a giant box with a hutch his first month on the job lol decent meter leads test light scan tool all under $200

[@jacksonstorm6395]

@@brennansulton340 he needs a 7 drawer cart , not that box. Clearly he's not the brightest guy. I don't know what you call a decent meter , or a scan tool , but you aren't getting them for 200 bucks. Hell this guys a month in and claims to be a professional technician already. I stumbled onto this video , and it made me laugh my ass off.

[@gregblau8082]

Looking good so far. I don't think I saw any Gearwrench. I bought a bunch of their stuff as starter tools but haven't needed to replace any of them. I guess the sp hookup helps though

[@danieltubbs458]

Please do yourself a favor and before you load down that box, swap out those fixed casters in the middle on both sides with swivel casters to make it a lot easier to maneuver

[@TheShanesousley]

Swap it out for heavier duty casters. I think the set of fixed opposite the handle is nice. Thats my opinion though. Some people like all swivels. I don't like it.

[@jameslittle7482]

Have the same box as you been a professional tech for 6 years. Should do a video so u can see what I got over the years. Also there is nothing worng with harbor freight stuff. Now with icon save the money when u can. Diagnostic equipment think spend good money on that stuff because 1 it saves you time wish = money and want that stuff. Aslo want it be accurate and not have to second-guess if your test equipment is working right.

[@billyingram5394]

Question where did you get the extra baskets and drawers from that you have in the side Locker please. I'm really looking into getting one of these boxes in the next couple of days please. Thanks for the help man

[@johngibson3594]

Buy the auto 539 b obd 2 tool it’s a multimeter as well an has recharging battery. It’s 89 bucks on amazon and it’s a decent unit. You are definitely doing this the best way slow and with affordable tools.

[@oscariniguez101]

I see you’re a man of taste with the Casio Royale.

[@McBake]

Yes sir!!

[@alexfranco5831]

My little McNugget 😂😂😂

[@bryanmoran3751]

So I’m a flat rate tech at a Toyota dealer in the East. It wasn’t long ago that I was in your shoes. You have a good starting set up so far. Don’t be afraid to go onto the tool trucks and purchase some stuff from them. I got really good deals from them going through high school and when going into the actual field. For wrenches start looking into the long handle gear wrench closed ended wrenches they’re great for brakes and alignments. Also look into Astro brake service kit it has right and left handed threads for on and off brand calipers. Get a good pick set from Cornwell or Matco. Also lastly get yourself a good set of pry bars. They come in handy all the time. Don’t worry about a bunch of the special service tools you can buy off of the trucks. Just focus on what you need in that moment. Make yourself a list and eventually start looking into buying that stuff. Take care

[@ClaytonHartin]

Husky 432pc Mechanic set is great value for $399 or you can get the 540pc Craftsman Mechanic set for $799 or Craftsman 450pc set for $199 or Craftsman 903pc set for $3,419 lol off the Sears app

[@brandonshook4095]

I myself love my matco ratchets more than snap on

[@McBake]

Totally agree. I got to use a friend's Marco and snap-on for a week before I made a decision, and Matco won in my opinion.

[@toolsmetals2148]

Nice Box 😎👌

[@davidkuehne476]

What kind of job did you downgrade from, to be able to afford that your first month as a mechanic?

[@bernellbegay8295]

Nice set up! And not bad for a month, and let me tell ya your going to run out of room fast being a mechanic.

[@joshu417]

good video man.

[@themjf2000]

McBake I want to let you know that I ordered the same box from Home Depot sku#1003-103-121. Been looking for a box and getting information on KZbin mostly regarding cost effective the “bang for ur buck” say.... ran into your review on the 80” toolbox did like it and decided to go that direction. Anyways I’m going to try it out and see, I checked it out when I was a Home Depot and looks solid for my kind of work so yeah thanks for the video.

[@nitrous07me]

One month? Gl brotha flat rate is pretty tough

[@rayrosales1]

Couldn't help but notice the DS18 box!

[@justwrenchit9287]

Yeah, being there you'll have access to look at all their goodies before you decide to buy them

[@xato5197]

Is the locker detachable ?

[@Banshee365]

Lots of real estate to grow. Nice! Very smart choice not to go into slavery with the tool truck as well. Those tools will serve you just fine. Buying off the truck is great a lot of the times, but try to pay with cash. I hate seeing these young new techs go into $50k in debt the first week on the job because people told them they needed all Snap-On tools to be a professional.

[@sergeantscratch9746]

Do you have a part number for the sp tools lights ?

[@jefftrump5779]

Nice video bro!!

[@claytonscheiber3493]

Time for another update. Your creepin up on 1300 subs.

Husky socket review I'm thinking about buying that but not sure

[@Yonny316]

So did you just jump in the industry or did somebody convince you?

[@McBake]

I was up front in sales at the dealership, and I've always loved cars but rather work on them then sale them. So when I heard about the opportunity in the back I jumped on it. Luckily o already knew everyone back there and they gave me the opportunity without having any real mechanic experience.

[@BADD400]

[@benadams183]

How do you rate the sp light so far?

[@McBake]

8 out of 10. I deducted 1 point for battery life, around 4 hours. And I deducted 1 point because at certain angels the big light sometimes doesn't hold itself up real well. After using Rustbelts SP and Snap on lights. I do like them better then Snap On.

[@benadams183]

McBake thank you for the honesty cheers mate aye. Are sp going to redesign there boxes so they have the 2 large top drawers like the snap ons do you or rust belt know?. dam hard to find anything in Australia snap on cost more than a truck here

@@McBake Getting paid does not make one a professional. Hacks get paid too. Remove your ego, and feelings and be objective here.
