I enjoyed the tour, I been turning wrenches for over 40 plus years,started out doing automotive and moved over into heavy equipment for the last 28 years. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🔧🔧🪛🪛

[@hullen5998]

Thanks man!! I’m loving heavy equipment much more than automotive. I appreciate the view!

[@rubelmartinez8190]

As a. Heavy equipment mechanic I enjoyed this tour! What a great collection u have!

[@hullen5998]

Thanks man!

[@timothyhartley7986]

I enjoyed the tour I have been a heavy equipment mechanic for 25 years. Just a few years ago I started working on cars professionally for the state. I have a tool box tour that might be helpful to you. Congratulations on your new career move you will make more money in long run. No flat rate crap

[@hullen5998]

Hey thanks man! I appreciate the view!! I’m trying to get better with the camera and also not saying um every 5 seconds lol. I have enjoyed the career change but it has been a learning curve and it has been expensive as far as tools. But I enjoy it! I would love to check out your tour 👍😁

[@timothyhartley7986]

One thing I forgot to mention. Loose the jewelry or loose your finger.

[@hullen5998]

it’s a silicone ring just for that reason👍

[@CorvetteTrev]

I like that idea 💡 I'm going to put my torch with my bolt biter sockets and irwin extractor/ tap and die stuff. ✅️

[@hullen5998]

[@mateokyriacou1141]

As a DIY guy who loves working on cars that cart setup has be jealous. Also agree that MAC makes the best wrenches. Great Vid i really enjoyed watching.

[@hullen5998]

Thanks 👍

[@billcovert3473]

If you want to charge 24 volt battery set with one charger. remove the jumper cable. Attach jumper cables, pos to pos, neg to neg. Now it is a 12 volt set and you can charge both at same time, one charger.

[@hullen5998]

That’s a good point, it would just take twice as long👍

[@billcovert3473]

Not necessarily so. I have been doing it for 40+ years in a service truck doing Greyhound busses, as the welder only does 18 volts. @@hullen5998

Wow what a collection 👌👌👌

Thanks

Very good tool box setups thanks for sharing 🍻

Thanks man

The matco ratchet falls right down haha

lol I’ll come up with something better for the ratchets, that one is always falling though

[@Supra_Mickey]

Man I need that roll cart it’ll go perfect with my box in the exact same color way

[@hullen5998]

That’s a damn good looking box!!

[@calvinhandy3969]

Nice i have the same epic 68 with the full single drawers and the same color as well

[@hullen5998]

I love this color.. i was going to get the hutch and side locker, but when my dealer told me he had this 68” as a repo I jumped on it instead

[@heavymachinery2843]

Awesome

[@hullen5998]

Thanks!!

[@matthewschmitz8817]

As soon as he opened up the top of the first tool cart. I was just like well. This guy blew 80 grand lol

[@hullen5998]

Haha you would be surprised… actually I probably would be too, if I tallied all my receipts from over the years(I save them all lol)

[@MrZimmaframe]

Mm I don't think so, he has a lot of Grey Pneumatic sockets, and Gear Wrench stuff compared to Snap-on, which will really help with cost savings.

[@benjaminabel8596]

There are a lot of duplicate sockets NGL probaby why he needs so much space.

[@JPAutotech]

How was the transition from automotive to heavy equipment?

[@CarlosMorales-dj5kq]

What color and model is the roll cart?

[@Chilly-uq2zl]

Nice stuff! Im in the market for some stubbies/nanos. Seem to be on the fence between astro or Capri. What made you gor for the Astros??

[@hullen5998]

Astro has been around for a decent amount of time and I’ve used their products for years. They do a good job on all fronts.. my 1/2” impact wobbles are Astro as well and they are great!

[@Chilly-uq2zl]

@@hullen5998 thanks man!

[@bullwinkle7542]

I know what you’re talking about Milwaukee batteries are hard to get out would you put them in so so the answer to that is the file those little dog ears of little bit and then they’ll come out easier

[@hullen5998]

My issue is that the clips are weak and brittle, so they break

[@bullwinkle7542]

@@hullen5998 that’s the first I’ve heard of that one

[@ranacherian]

Anti vibe or snap on hammer?

[@hullen5998]

Honestly each have their own place… but for deadblow it’s snap on all day.. the others I prefer antivibe. The soft (rubber) deadblows.. no preference 👍

[@Darlhim89]

Wow. Congrats on your success in the field assuming it isnt 100k in tool debt.

[@hullen5998]

Nope, not nearly that much debt. The biggest portion of my tool debt at this point is the 68” and my tool cart which total 5600$

[@greggregorich8048]

people have use for screw drivers in 2024 i converted all to cordless tools

[@hullen5998]

Is this a question or a statement because of the lack of punctuation it makes it really hard to tell but maybe that’s why you don’t see the place that a traditional screwdriver has I imagine that you strip your fair share of fasteners to answer you yes people do have a use for screwdrivers in fact that why tool companies still sell them

what do you use to keep moister out of your tool box to keep stuff from rusting ive tried multiple things

I use those little packs that come in boxes when you order things that absorb moisture (silica gel packs)

Best Toolbox Tour EVER and the most organized complete set of tools from A to Z, that I’ve ever witnessed…….Really Really impressive & awesome.

[@BellevueLandscapesLLC]

It’s refreshing to see a nice mix of harbor freight with the Snap On and Mac Matco. Nicely organized !

[@hullen5998]

Thanks 👍

[@trey934]

Alot of people dog harbor freight and I don't get it. I have blue point, Pittsburgh, Mac, matco, craftsman, duralast, ac Delco, kobalts, and the Pittsburgh sockets perform just as good as the Pittsburgh. We work on heavy equipment. Excavators, forestry equipment, dozens, etc and I just don't have any issues with them.

[@nubcek5169]

dude u should totally check out the m18 grease gun thing is a life saver

[@benjaminabel8596]

10:32 TF is that long green thing? Is that like a teenage mutant ninja hammer?

[@Anthony-wj6xb]

Who the heck makes that long magnet in top tray of service cart?

[@hullen5998]

Mac and Cornwell have them… save money and buy the Cornwell magnetic rail

[@victorhoyt4352]

How do those astro swivels hold up? Ive heard mixed things. Thanks!

[@hullen5998]

So far so good, I haven’t had any issues with them. I like them better than the pinned type. The have a good feel to them and haven’t loosened up much

[@cyrusmoser1090]

I have the 1/2 astro pneumatic impact swivel sockets and I've broken the 19mm and 24mm. I'm a millwright and used them hard for awhile before they broke. If your looking for good impact swivel sockets I'd recommend the grey pneumatic. There easier to warranty if need be. Tool trucks will warranty them and I didn't need to have proof of purchase like I did the astro

[@Bizkit-ey8tw]

Ive had mine around 4 years now doing professional auto repair. Absolutely 0 problems with mine. Still work like the day i got them.

[@eightpenny6379]

Great set up. Plastic cases and trays take up too much space

[@hullen5998]

Thanks!!! The cases do take up too much space, the struggle is real haha

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

What are the big (what looks to be 1” drive ) sockets behind the 3/4 sockets brand and sizes

[@hullen5998]

Those are Vevor sockets, sizes 3/4 -2-1/2”. It’s a very inexpensive set that you can get on eBay or Amazon. I haven’t had any issues out of them yet👍

[@Chad-em2fg]

Exactly what is a hell of a deal??? 14k!!!

[@hullen5998]

I mean if that’s a deal to you.. sure. But no I got that 68” for 3600$.

[@venomracer2]

Glad to see a guy spend money on the nicer quality boxes but also be honest and say you can do the job with harbor freight tools as well

[@hullen5998]

Hey thanks man.. I’m not a brand snob obviously. I like stuff that works and works well. Sometimes it’s snap on, sometimes harbor freight and sometimes somewhere in between haha. Thanks for the view

For the icon wrenches take a picture of the part numbers on the box or talk to a manager you can order single wrenches from them

[@hullen5998]

That’s good to know, thank you

40 more years of paying on all that 😅😅

Not even close to 40 years. Truck accounts are 5 week terms and snap on credit is usually 5 year terms. The majority of my tools are paid off👍
