One last tool. HEARING PROTECTION. Earmuffs or earplugs especially if you're doing tires and using an impact air wrench all day long. I count it as a tool because it is a tool that will save your hearing for the future and keep you making money by being able to hear the strange ass noises in cars when you're doing the diagnostics in the future.

More important than any tool you'll ever buy , invest in your ergonomics. If you want to do this for a long time, you will need to take care if your back, knees, and hands. Get a topside creeper, get nice comfy knee pads, a set of Kevlar heat sleeves, and always keep quality boots on your feet. The tools are no good if it hurts to use them.

For Vise-Grips, get "Malco Eagle-Grip" locking pliers. That's the BEST you can get right now. That's who actually makes the Snap-On locking pliers. The Snap-On version is literally made by Malco in the Malco factory alongside the Eagle Grip pliers. They are the same exact pliers, except one in engraved "Snap-On" and one has Malco's name on it.

I recommend getting Icon wrenches. I have lots of different Snap On wrenches and in my opinion the Icon’s are almost as good. I only have the S wrenches but the guy who I used to work with has all of them. I was surprised at how good they are. The box ends are slightly bigger than snap on, but much thinner than any other value brand than I’ve seen. People need to stop getting hung up on needing an expensive box. This stuff goes on at my shop. We have a wrecker driver/ lube and tire guy with a $12k snap on box. The same guy is always borrowing tools because that huge box of his is empty.

I have gearwrench brand long pattern combo wrenches. They're not Snappys, but they're close - for a LOT less money. I like these, and the stubby non tab flex combo wrenches. Flip it over to reverse, it's flex head. 99% of the time I use oil filter pliers. For chrome sockets I really like the Astros with the UV glow paint in the numbers. I personally have Tekton impacts, I got the printed / laser engraved number only ones on sale for dirt cheap - they now have BOTH that and the stamped numbers for when the other wears out - which is awesome. For ball joint sockets, I have Gearwrench. IF you can afford it, I do recommend the MID torque Milwaukee, particularly if it's got the dual voltage charger. Then you can get the 12v impact driver - which is 100% my favorite driver ever. The 18v kits come with a DUAL voltage charger, so you don't have to buy the 12v kits - but the 12v kits come with a 12v only charger. Always get FUEL though, with a very few notable exceptions you won't need as a mechanic. If you can't afford it, the mid torque ryobi brushless is pretty good - I have one, it does the job. Back when I was pro-mechanicking (in the rust belt!) - the "gold standard" IR 231 air gun was rated the same as the ryobi - 600 rev, 450 forward - and it hardly ever wasn't enough power. Get the big dog high torque later, when you can afford it if you need it. OR you can get that same IR for a lot less now - but its now made in china, idk if it's as good as the older ones.

My only advice for mirrors and magnetic retrieval tools, get a good one with a lifetime warranty. Blue point for example sells them for about 40 bucks and the first time you have to warranty it which you will, it pays for itself.

SAFETY! It's unfortunate that with many jobs and professions, safety is often ignored completely or it's taken as "obvious". If it's not emphasized, taught and practiced, it's USELESS. Safety requires a mindset as well as knowledge and practice. Starting out I was like most people, I just kind of took safety for granted and never really thought about it nor considered it unless there was an real and eminent danger, like fuel on the ground or something. Then I worked for a guy who actually lost a co-worker to a very preventable accident. This guy had a wife and kids and he was killed right before my friends eyes. Hearing him tell the story of what happened, how it was a totally preventable accident, how it happened right before his eyes and the aftermath of all that was seriously heartbreaking but also a wake up call. We had monthly safety drills. These included a mandatory 1 hour safety meeting each month. At another time we would have a quarterly fire drill that was required also. NO EXCUSES for not participating.....NONE. After all, you might think it's no big deal but when the emergency happens, if you haven't been trained and practiced these things, you may not make it or you may cause others to get hurt. Whenever I start a new job I do the following and it doesn't take long: I locate all safety equipment and inspect it. Have the fire extinguishers been inspected? How long ago? If it's over 5 years, they need to be reinspected. Where are the emergency exits - locate all of them? Are there evacuation maps (more than 1) at different points of the building? Where is the muster point? That's the place where after you exit a building you meet up with your co-workers so management can take roll call to ensure everyone is out of the building and safe. Where is the shelter in case of a tornado? What about first aid kits? Where's the eye wash station? What about breaker panels for the shop?? Is there fire suppression in the shop - if so how does it activate? And for people who don't take safety seriously or roll their eyes and mock the safety person as "The safe police" or some other way - those people need to be named and shamed. They're the cancer that gets people killed in an emergency. What about PPE? Is this supplied by the shop or not? Many people think about eye and hearing protection but they ignore breathing - brakes still have asbestos and the dust surrounding brakes is the most dangerous to human health. The action of stopping a car breaks off small chunks of the brakes and creates brake dust which contains asbestos. Once that's in dust form, it can easily become airborn and inhaled. You also don't necessarily have to walk through a dust cloud either. It's so small you can't see asbestos with the naked eye so you could easily inhale it while working on brakes. Once in the lungs, it doesn't come out and turns into cancer. It's dangerous stuff man and all too often I see people working on brakes without breathing protection acting like "Oh I've done a million of these and I'm fine. You're just paranoid." But this is the stuff that absolutely destroys your life 15 years down the road or more. It's not like other hazards like fire or electrical where you see the effects immediately. NO this stuff is the real slow killer and it happens in small doses. Stay safe out there guys.

Recently turned 28, got into the industry right out of high-school so its been a decade. Started off with a Mastercraft box (canadian tire brand) and bought the NAPA brand sockets. Through the school program I slowly upgraded over the 4 years I was in school (apprenticeship program) and by the end of school, my wrenches, ratchets, and 3/8 and 1/4 sockets were all mac and snap on. I found a deal on a very lightly used master series KRL box a couple years later. Now, after a decade of being on the bench, the majority of my tools are snap on and Mac. Ratcheting wrenches are still gear wrench, pliers are half snap on, half knipex. Don't bother will tool truck brand power tools though. All my air tools are IR and all my cordless is Milwaukee. Some stuff like half inch impact sockets aren't worth the money for tool trucks. I like going with the Napa house brand stuff because it gets delivered to the shop instantly and they never ask questions about warranty.

I will add , be careful when buying any “sets” Like screw driver sets, plier sets, snap ring sets. Also the socket sets. Ex I like GP brand and sunex brand impact sockets. Being price and use. My GP 1/4” impact swivel set cost much less than snap on BUT I basically use only 4 out of the set 5.5 7 8 and 10 Same with hammers, JFC pick up some used hammers at yardsales. No need for a $500 set from snap on. Mayhew pry bars are a great value , along with lisles tools. I like some snap on tools. I have mostly SO chrome sockets and ratchets. Buy what you need to do the work your doing. I have people see whats in my box and they wonder how I do so much with so little. For one, I clean out my box every few years and eliminate tools especially specialty tools im not making money with, if not you end up with draws full of tools you have not touched in 8-10 years.

That collection of axle nut sockets that you have not used in 5 plus years and you cant even remember what they fit. Into storage . Its really to bad they change the design on those nuts but it keeps the tool companies going. Oh and dont buy lisle tools off the snap on truck, always 30% higher. Fun stuff

You have some good videos, i think changing your thumbnails could really help, i have to click on your video list and rear the small righting to get the subject of the video, but if the thumbnail had a few big words like a lot of other channels i think it would help.

I wouldn’t recommend buying air impact to get started. Should always by cordless electric.

Definetly don’t bother starting out with Snap On pliers. I had some extra money to spend so I bought them through the student program. They are beefy but honestly too beefy, I’d much rather have started with channel locks or another brand. Not everything the tool truck brands have will work for you so don’t go crazy buying from them. I do have to say I would strongly suggest going with a full size 6 drawer roll cart instead of one like the harbor freight 5 drawer, if you can afford it. I would have quickly outgrown the 5 drawer but it is a great cart.

Don't forget the Hercules power tools while you're at Harbor Freight. Many pros are switching to them.

Ya if they had stubbys and other variety I’d say go with those. That’s the one plus of Milwaukee and dewalt

Those autozone duralast tools. They finish a job or what? Some people want to bless me with a couple tools and they want me to give a couple names not too expensive that work good enough.

Electric impact isn't necessarily an upgrade. I use electric when I need it, which is rare. Cases like I need to get the tire off outside the shop, which rarely happens

Maybe not necessary. But in a high volume shop it is a huge time saver. Every time you have to play around with an airline it wastes time.
