Ultimate Work Truck: The Tool Tank

[@Cnightz]

I just like hearing this guy talk. He has one of those voices.

[@drdwgmd14]

This man’s videos are a national treasure. You all know this, as you click around youtube, that is, lots of people make vidoes like this but few have the presentation skills, on screen presence, and natural soothing voice (or unique voice of sort). This man will go down as the Bob Ross of construction videos on youtube. And on top of that he gives insane good advice. -6-15-21

Welcome to Oregon. Its a bunch of people like this and two or three cities full of tree huggers and hippies.

[@jw11432]

That's good to hear. My impression of Oregon is based on KZbin, which tends to feature a lot of Portland hippies attacking people and blocking traffic. I know of another KZbinr in Oregon (pretty sure I have the state right) that goes by Wranglerstar. He and this gentleman here are guys that I wish I knew.

[@greygag36]

jw11432 Portland eugene and Medford are really the only places like that. wranglerstar is somewhere in the mountains to the east of Portland not sure exactly and don't look because I respect his privacy. Scott is dead between Eugene and Medford in Roseburg. it's absolutely beautiful around here. as for geography Oregon is interesting. we have the costal ranges, cascades and the high desert. from the coast ranges to the ocean is a between 20 feet and 20+ miles. it's all temperate forest. between the coastal range and Cascades is the valleys Roseburg and the 3 big cities fall into. fairly moderate but get really nice in the summer. east of the Cascades is the high desert and bend. it's pretty much like nevada out there. lots of circle farms however.

[@gokblok]

Oregon is an AMAZING place, and I'll include Portland in that assessment. Everyone I've encountered has been incredibly nice, and it's hard to find prettier countryside and coastline. There's just something magical about that place.

[@ManlyManStuff]

I know right? I love it. So knowledgeable yet so humble, I love his videos.

At 6:00 -- The best advice to young workers, ever! Protect and preserve your back. Those of us in our 50s, 60s, and beyond know firsthand how important this advice really is.

[@williamwinder3466]

Started working at 14 putting in boilers. I'm 30 now and my back is the least of my problems.

[@cedricgist7614]

Can't say I've had the roughest life, but my dad was a boatswain's mate in the Navy - coming off a farm - and did other physical jobs in his career. My mother was a licensed practical nurse. They both stressed proper body mechanics. Began my work career as a temporary laborer. Used to jump off truck docks until an older worker cautioned me to avoid doing that to protect my back. I made the connection that I only had so many jumps in my back before I'd have problems.

[@incontruth4116]

I wish I would’ve listened to that advise.

[@TheJweid25]

[@swampwhiteoak1]

One of the best videos. I am enjoying setting up my first new truck in 31 years. Ford F-350 single rear wheel, diesel, 4wd, crew cab, short bed and it even has air conditioning! For my business bed space is important, but so is clean extra space in the cab for mobile office, clothing and gear for staying at a jobsite for up to 3 days, sensitive tools, photography gear, water, and some grub.

[@CHARLELOS]

As a contractor. This truck is priceless! It's all of my dreams rolled up in to one. I literally just feel in love all over again.

[@swampwhiteoak1]

Aren’t they all tools that you may or may not need. Just having fun with you. That is the perfect tool/work truck built by a genius to improve work efficiency and productivity. Very impressive.

[@weldernotmechanic8588]

The part (s) that I love about your videos is that you never cease to compliment others higher than yourself.

I'm stealing a few ideas from your truck to use in mine

[@davidquirk8097]

Thank you. It's always good to see someone putting thought into making their job better / easier. I'm forever making up kit for the test work I do to make the job easier, quicker and safer. Recently I've started selling kit I make to others and it's pretty rewarding to be contacted out of the blue by someone wanting to buy my kit. I was told many years ago, out on a job site, by an old guy, 'we're paid to work smarter, not harder' and I always try to follow that.

[@handymanhoney-do6881]

13 minutes of golden knowledge right there-thank you for all these videos. My only thought on the overall setup might be storing the most frequently used items on the passenger/curb side of the truck so you’re not exposed to as much traffic when parked on the street. I know from other videos you are often on a dedicated worksite or rural area so this is more of a suggestion for urban environments. Love your videos. It’s like getting back lost time with my dad/grandpa. I miss those days with them learning man stuff.

[@thinkingmonk9676]

Sweet rig. I bet it makes your life a lot easier. Nothing like having the tools you need where you want them to be. I worked building truck bodies for some time. This video took me back to the good ole days.

[@georgecowboydearing6526]

About 15 years ago, I lived in texas and built flatbed truck bodies from scratch and we would install them as well, sometimes I'd get a guy who knew exactly what he needed out of a flatbed and I would build it to his specs. Learned alot from them as I went along and it grew my wealth of knowledge, this of course was before I became disabled about 10 years ago when I was driving a medium/heavy duty tow truck and got hit by a car. Anyways, just an idea for you here, you could easily take those 2 job box's you have there and cut out the outside facing panel and weld in hinges so that when you open the lid, the face would lay down just like your bottom box's do and it would create a desk like feature along with making it so you wouldn't have to climb up the side of the truck and lift your tools up and over like that.. Would save your back too ;) awsome build for sure and thanks for all the videos you take time to make and share with all of us..

[@stevemoog3740]

As a GC I can see why you would have that set up. But as a high end finish carpenter in can tell you nothing beats an extended CHEVY/GMC 2500. Sliding door unit. Tons of room, quiet ride, lots of power and I’ve set it up to hold every tool I need for a Mobile remote shop. And still have room for full sheets of plywood or sheet rock. Rain and snow don’t mess up my materials or tools. I can store everything in the custom bins and shelves. I’ve created slide in/out storage containers for specialty tools. Plus I ride in complete comfort and style. Everything has a place, because I built it, I know how it works. I love your channel and videos. I’m constantly learning and challenging my skill set and at 59, I’m still out working the 20 somethings. Mostly because I can show up on time sober. Plus people are willing to pay for skills that work. Not jobs that pay. I take the big and small stuff, and always give more than I’m asked for. Quality has to be first. Speed comes. If it’s right the first time, they figure out it’s worth it. And I never pay to advertise my work skills. My great customers make sure all their friends and family know who did this work. Thanks for sharing. God bless your family!

But the powers that be in Chicago thought they knew more that the guys in the field did and took them all away and gave most of us bucket trucks.... Now a bucket truck is just great in the city but this area is hills and hollers gravel and mud roads and a bucket truck here is a total joke!!!

It is amazing how much more work you can do with the proper tools and this (tool) makes it a pleasure to work not a chore.

That is 2 hours of agrivation &1 hour of satisfaction. I would have loved to have a truck like this when I was working.
