maybe hoovie paved the way for him but his channel is so fucking amazing and he got some really good experience as mechanic and his information that he gives are priceless and so useful. so yeah he deserves the almost 500k subs he rocks.

people can make it to where they own their own shop with lifts, not everyone needs a hoovie!

facts i used one in my dads f150 for the back ones...its a headache getting back there on both sides😪😪

[@CzechSixTv]

Having spent most of my career as a bus then dump truck/heavy equipment mechanic, I was lucky to never need an air hammer for ball joints or tie rod ends. There was always plenty of room to swing a decent sized hammer. I did use one for removing fan clutches though if the water pump was already bad. Just put the corner of a chisel bit on the big fan clutch nut at an angle while the belt is still in place and pull the trigger. It's SOOOO much easier than trying to keep those thin wrenches on the water pump pulley bolts.

[@nordicpride9708]

The long ratcheting wrenches (made by “KABO” Mac, mountain, ICON), are AMAZING! One of my favorite purchases!

[@dna59]

[@matej.m.rejsek8537]

Your videos score pretty high in all the indexes that matter to me: 1) You're a pleasant person. You don't come across as a know-it-all, just someone who has accumulated a lot of knowledge and is willing to share. 2) I suspect a lot of your advice to a lot of your viewers is already somewhat known to them, but they don't mind hearing it again because [see reason #1 above] plus they are curious about your take on topic. 3) You frequently bring a new possible solution to the table for people. edit: 4) High level production values. Good sound, clear images.

[@brianredmond4919]

Dremel is great - not great for drilling and most of the accessories are useless - but - but. - the cutting wheels are FANTASTIC . Got me out of many a nightmare .👍😎🇬🇧

[@kevinbaker6168]

My Dad who was a mechanic always insisted that every vehicle have a crescent wrench, a 7/16, a 9/16 and a 1/2 inch combination wrench (box and Crows foot ends), a pair of slip joint pliers, a pair of side cutter pliers, a pair of needle nosed pliers, a pair of good quality slot and Phillips screwdrivers, a pair of jumper cables and a tow chain. Of course you also needed a jack, lug wrench and a four way wrench. Back in the 60's, 70's and into the 80's a good backyard mechanic could generally get a vehicle repaired so it could either make it to a shop, or back on its way. With the simple hand tools a trained could just about rebuild any vehicle. He also impressed on me to get the best quality tools I could afford. He had a set of SK wrench's and sockets that he got when he was in the Navy during WW II. Those wrench's did the job for him, my brother and myself for over 60 years until I lost them in a forced move.

[@leonhull6720]

Your helping massively with my apprentiship and I'm actually ahead of all the others. Keep up the amazing work 👏 👌

[@viivcreations9161]

I love my dremel 4000, from arts and crafts to cutting bolts off my old locks, it has been an amazing handy tool for sure. im still looking to buy the flexible head for it too

[@anthonymarino4260]

have about 3 of those house and , camper and a spare

[@bruceaskin9645]

Aside from the great tools, here's the single quality you are looking for in every mechanic ,honesty, thanks for your honesty.

[@pate3963]

Small flathead Screwdriver is a must. You can carry it in your pen pocket and you can do all sorts of things with it

[@sin1stral5]

The Furby is awesome. I work in the IT field, and we do something similar by hiding a waldo.jpg (image of Waldo from Where's Waldo) in various network devices for people to randomly find. Good stuff.

[@gravelytodd]

I have an Astro 4980 “Big Nasty” air hammer and there are just some jobs you cannot do without a good air hammer.

[@cmartin_ok]

We have a saying in the UK: "If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's definitely broken"

[@seanfox6947]

gravelytodd do you hear the heavy rock music every time you use it now!! 😂

[@gravelytodd]

@@seanfox6947 Yes, it does come with its own theme music. Difficult to hear while using the hammer, but its there.

[@steelwitness]

For anyone who is just wanting to learn to do simple things like spark plugs, oil changes, brake jobs, alternators, etc. Craftsman makes a very affordable and fairly good quality "mechanic set" for less than 100 dollars. Then go to harbor freight and they sell full sets of 20+ box end wrenches. For less than 120 you can have a solid set of tools that both come with awesome cases to help keep you organized.

[@anvilsvs]

Something you haven't mentioned which is absolutely essential. IRWIN VISE-GRIP Original Chain Clamp, Locking, 9-Inch (27ZR). There are times when nothing else in the world can replace one of these.

[@frankmummolo7727]

Honestly never heard of about half of these tools. Especially love the hose puller! Thanks! Great job, as always!

[@danielfield3580]

My first Drexel went through three steps of brushes in 22 years. I just replaced it with two. One corded and one battery powered with an extra battery. Most versatile tool for automotive work. Small enough to get into almost anywhere!

[@danielfield3580]

Dremel!

[@dottyjyoung]

(Home car maintenance here.) I never even thought about cutting the rusty bolts off. I'm already a woodworker, so I have a Dremel & a multi-tool already. I'm getting that tiny little battery jumper too.

[@smokestaxx7479]

Love that Porsche wall art!

[@HarleySLA]

I use mountains on drive belt auto tensioners. I dont have a drive belt wrench set, and never have issues. Sometimes they like to stay attached, so reverse the drive and wiggle and the mountain wrench comes free with no struggle. That's a good set, even for DIY or occasionial wrenching. It'll save your body and hands. Worth every penny for that alone. Not to mention frustration, you cant put a price on removing frustration. Cheers 🍻

[@TankEpidemic]

It's so damn satisfying finding a problem you used to have an issue with, taking out the tool you got for the job, dealing with the problem and walking away saying, "I wasn't asking". If y ou can afford the tool for the job that you do a lot, just buy it.

[@Czechbound]

SUGGESTION : After the recent Camaro fire, could you do one about general shop/ personal SAFETY ROUTINES. Maybe a) what equipment must a shop have b) inspection regime c) fire drills d) what to do in an emergency e) what Personal Protection Equipment you use ( glove types; welding protection; steel-tipped boots; ear protection etc. ) f) what do you keep in your medical kit g) what medical training you have (if any) g) when do your fire extinguishers get recharged. Loving these videos. Help keeping me sane here in Prague, CZ. Stay safe !

[@zxggwrt]

Thank you for the extra videos..for a lot of us special interest KZbin or whatever is a great relief from the stress. No pressure. If you think you can make a video out of something then don't hesitate!😁🙂😂

[@teutone5866]

Left turn drill bits of good quality. When dealing with a broken off bolt head etc, drilling a hole for an easy out, with left turn drill bits, more often than not the broken bolt will already come out. Another thing is a set of lockable flex head ratchets. On many of the smaller bolts / nuts around the engine, a regular ratchet wont work. Plus a set of wobble extensions, and there is a small telescoping flashlight with a magnet around the lens and a more powerful one at the rear end (mine will pick up a 5 lb hammer). Comes in real handy picking up small screws, nuts etc that were dropped. Cheers

[@archygrey9093]

My family has a farm and those lithium battery jump starters are VERY useful. Lots of machines and vehicles that don't get used often so there batteries are going flat, saves money too because if you've got a machines or vehicle that you don't use often that has a bad battery (for example doesn't start after a few days of sitting) then you won't have to spend hundreds on a new battery just for the new battery to sit degrading for months at a time. Can simply just jump the half dead battery for the occasional use the vehicle gets.

[@JD-bf1bu]

I don’t know a whole lot about cars but I love watching the Car Wizard’s channel. I always learn something new and I really like how relaxed and chill he is. I also like how Mrs. Wizard asks the questions like a viewer would. All around great channel!

[@Darkcruzer23]

im a diy mechanic and even tho i wont use some, i still love seeing and learning about them. and i think i might have to get an air hammer because it has multiple uses. that clutch fan tool is awesome and the fact it works with the air hammer was great. keep up the videos!

[@interex956]

Two things. 1 - Why do you not like air tools? 2 - I have never seen tool #4. That is fabulous. I may be needing one of those to replace the tensioner and chain guides on a Ford 4.6.

[@hhiippiittyy]

I got one from Canadian Tire, they rent tools, it was like 5 bucks for the day. Dont know what an equivalent store in your area might be, but if you can find a place that rents them they're likely to be cheap.

My Grandpa was a carpenter his whole life as a business. He said one time he got called to an enormous house in the 1960's. Obviously a rich folks house. Hes doing the job and running some screws in by hand. The older grey haired homeowner came over and asked if he could put one in. After he did it he laughed and told my Grandfather that he had never used a screwdriver before in his entire life.

[@TurboTonyG]

Wizard, could you please do a video showing the hammer-wrench tool in use? I’ve never seen one of them before and I’m really intrigued. Tool #5, I think.

[@michaelreynolds1904]

#4 I think.......curious about that too.

[@Czechbound]

South Main Auto channel uses one when replacing a whole brake assemply. It's like a handheld version of the hammer you see road crews using to split concrete ( when they use a sharp end ). Can push a bolt for example out of a rusty hole. To me, they seem plenty loud, but you never see anyone wearing ear protection

[@BryanByTheSea]

Ditto here, did not even know such a tool existed.

[@BryanByTheSea]

@@Czechbound Do you happen to know the show number or link to the episode where it was used?

[@powershop1903]

[@buddycarofano1635]

[@CattleRock]

round and flat teeth vise-gribes would be my #1 go to tool combined with a good heavy brass hammer #2....when regular tools don't cut it.

[@xcofcd]

For me one of the ten would be definitely vise grip pliers. I can't count how many times these saved my ass working on cars...

I was glued to my seat to find out all the tools you use. Excellent audio! Sublime! The thing is that this is important also for home wrenchers. It is useful to know what tools are out there for certain jobs. We might be able to borrow or rent or even buy such tools when absolutely needed! I learned a lot. Thank you sir!

[@bobpope2990]

Aside from the socket and wrench sets/impact sockets/hammers and dollies I bought when I was going to Collision repair/frame school was a Chicago Pneumatic air hammer I bought in a pawnshop for 8 bucks in Birmingham Alabama when I was there to compete in a national V.I.C.A. competition in 78'. I had that tool for many,many years,until I upgraded it to a Rodac long barrel air hammer,and put a quick release tool chuck on it.I liked the Rodac because it has a air valve on it so you can turn the air pressure down right on the tool. They are a very versatile tool .

[@bobpope2990]

These "Jump Boxes" are the cats meow Growing up in Interior Alaska in the 60'-70's Trying to start a car to bring it into the shop with a dead battery @ -40 was always a pain. to get the jumper cables out and get the shop truck or another vehicle to jump it with.

Preferring to be more like a surgeon than a butcher, I use my Dremel 8220-2/28 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool Kit, along with a Dremel EZ456B 1-1/2" EZ Lock Rotary Tool Cut-Off Wheel, to remove inner-races from wheel hubs. The smaller more controllable cut-off wheel enables me to remove races without leaving a scratch on hubs.

+1 to the ratcheting, Flex head ratchets. I bought some of the Mountain wrenches from your affiliate page and i hardly ever use my regular gear wrenches anymore. They just have so much more torque for breaking and can get in such weird spots.

[@arlenburgin2392]

You can't work on a Komatsu without them

The dremel is very handy to have around! i've cut 4 or 5 bolts this week out of my random bolt bin to make them fit different things. saved me 3 trips to the store to buy shorter bolts. I also lightly ported and polished a throttle body with it. i'm pretty sure we have the same exact dremel too, mines the 4000. I wish i could afford a nice scan tool, i use dash command on my phone and its gotten the job done for what i've run into but i feel like eventually its not going to be enough.
