How many SOCKETS does a MECHANIC have?

[@AdeptApe]

Thanks to Western States Cat for supplying the cooler for the winner and thanks to everyone that guessed on the post. Links for the Sunex Sockets in the video here through the Amazon Affiliate links help the channel: Sunex Driveshaft Socket Set: amzn.to/3zLoGnZ Sunex 3/4" Standard Socket Set: amzn.to/3vrNAGA Sunex 1/2" Standard Socket Set: amzn.to/3oJSETe Sunex 1/2" Metric Socket Set: amzn.to/3Sf9IOj

What is your opinion about sunex sockets vs snap on or Mac?

[@DarienSeminoff]

Question, where did you get the cat logo for the bottom right drawer on the matco box?

[@brentpew4853]

Wow can’t believe I won! It was just a guess. I added up my own and came up to 450, and just added some more for special ones I knew he’d have

[@brentpew4853]

And yes, I emailed you Josh

[@AdeptApe]

I saw it, congratulations. I replied to you email as well. Thanks for watching.

[@LibertyOrD___h]

Nothing gets repaired without the proper tool and the socket and ratchet is the foundation to any repair

[@johnarmstrong6134]

Congrats Mr Pew! I wasn't quite fast enough. Fortunately, i just bought a new lunchpail a couple months back. Had I won, i would have gifted to my eldest nephew. Thank you Josh for the opportunity. Dig your work on the channel.👍

[@AdeptApe]

You guessed it correctly, but Brent beat you to it.

[@Rosy_87]

I can't believe two guys guessed exactly right. I was 19 sockets off. I definitely didn't think you had them double stacked but fully anticipated multiple drawers and sets. I was surprised you didn't have more large sockets over 1.25". Cool idea for a give away

[@PeterGKO]

STACKING 6-point on top of 12-point to save space. Holy smokes that is brilliant, thanks for opening my eyes to new space-saving techniques for my toolbox!

[@mindquad772]

Dang, thanks for the vid man. Would love a video on your history as a mechanic/how you got started etc. I'm 9 months in my mechanic career at a CAT dealer, always love to hear people's story

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Thank you for the shout out Josh. It was a frustrating filter. Good video man showing the depth of tool investment needed for proper mechanic work. It probably over 3000$ in sockets. 💪👍🔧🛠💵💰

[@badgerpa9]

For USD the dollar sign is before the number. 3rd grade numbers and counting money. Seems people from china and some public schools get that backwards.

[@michailbest1122]

I didn't know you were a western states guy! I'm in the Pasco, WA dealer and the Meridian, ID dealer all the time!

[@dontfrankitupfrank1479]

Man I'm glad I'm a BODY TECH I only need metric 96 percent of the time. That was an awesome vidja of a quality TECHS tools. Well taken care of might I add.

[@bubba99009]

I've had to pound a big screwdriver into the side of a filter and use it as a lever to get it off for the first oil change on a truck once.

[@timothy4037]

Congratulations Brent

[@rustypotatos]

the inverted torx is such a strong and reliable soket and head !!! what agreat feat of engineering

[@lonedawg90]

Love your contents... Watching you from Jamaica

[@KevinJones-pj8kx]

I have multiple drawers of sockets too. No idea how many. We had a family owned trash business so I did a lot of heavy truck. Then I did a ten year stint as a foreign car mechanic too. I had to buy a lot of metric for that. I didn't venture a guess but suspected it was north of 500. Having done both heavy and light work really meant I had the collection too.

[@volvo09]

Hey, 2 people got it right on the nose! I was expecting you to show someone else's tool box, like a 40 year seasoned tech with every tool imagine able! Man, that oil filter was stuck! Some goon definitely cranked that on as tight as could be with a tool.

[@repairvehicle]

Congratulations to someone who won! Too bad it’s not me.

[@AdeptApe]

Thanks for watching either way, there will be more drawings in the future so make sure you watch them all. Probably be a jacket giveaway or cups in the fall.

[@MrJason7680h]

I've recently been buying cat tools from my local dealer, they are surprisingly cheap to buy for USA made Tools.

I just started as a fuel island technician at Ryder in Manchester New Hampshire

[@larrytalley117]

Hey congrats Brent!!

[@Burden-THE]

I asked my boss, the OWNER of the shop, if he "had any.. like.. external hex sockets?" He looked at me confused. "Like a six point external socket? No, I don't have anything weird like that!" I laughed, and went back to work. I'm not sure what came over me to ask, but it was funny because he most definitely had regular sockets

[@Rx7man]

I probably have at least that many, and not a 10mm to be found! I actually have a whole box full of various oddballs I don't think I've ever used in my life.. 7mm and 9mm for sure, and then any of the half mm increments like 5.5 and such

[@firemech911]

If you would like to use them just throw them out and I bet you would need them next week.

[@electric7487]

Two questions: 1. When you bought inverted Torx sockets, was it just to work on the 7.1? 2. Does the C9.3 have any annoying fasteners? 2:03 I also noticed that you have knockoff battery packs on your Milwaukee drill.

[@Username-lk4qx]

I have 502 sockets, had to go count

[@dieselboybc]

Happy Sunday!

[@AdeptApe]

Thank you Richard!

[@Senkino5o]

I've had filters like that 1 before where it just plain doesn't make sense how they got so tight, the owner swears he never over-tightened it but there you are taking parts of the truck off to fit a 6 foot cheater bar on your biggest screwdriver.

[@TheGUNNY1966]

It would be nice to clean that mess up with some TOOLBOX WIDGETS & some of the MAGNETIC RAILS! JUST SAYIN :-) I have so many I'm afraid to count but at the same time it's NEVER a bad thing to have tons of every style shallow - Medium - deep & extra deep Great Channel & content :-)

[@AdeptApe]

The wrench junk drawer, must remain a mess or a black hole will form and the solar system will collapse in on itself.

[@TheGUNNY1966]

@@AdeptApe It's your story, tell it however ya want! My junk drawer looks just as bad, HELL maybe worse! LMAO

[@cl7510]

Dang! Now I’m gonna have to count my sockets when I get to work tomorrow.

[@AdeptApe]

I'm sorry about that.

[@persistentwind]

I'm confused. Don't know if I have socket envy or just thankful I haven't needed that many...

[@adamgarrison4400]

No doubt.

[@Storyideas81]

I think another cool video would be how much do your tools weigh with the toolboxes or a dollar amount also included the toolboxes.

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

Had to turn in a tool inventory this past week and I found I have over 500 sockets and just over 1300 individual tools. You don't even want to the replacement costs. 🤣🤣

[@Warrenoutruckin]

Dang it!! How’d I miss the giveaway?!?! Oh well still waiting for u to have the 3406e rebuild giveaway 😂

[@mikemata623]

1:42 I see what you did there lol

[@whitaker2062]

I only decide to purchase it because it was a tri-axle truck is a 2006 for the coming engine in it

[@wesleycooper2647]

A socket should be defined as any attachment that engages a fastener driven by a square input, be it 1/4" square, 3/8" square, 1/2" square, etc

[@AdeptApe]

My brain was tired after counting to 515, I don't want to add a couple hundred more.

[@magnumjohnson9628]

Cool video!

[@AdeptApe]

Thank you.

[@makincash3337]

Nice thank you

[@ShainAndrews]

I don't want to count how many sockets I have. Figure 6pt and 12pt. 1/4 drive through 3/4 drive. Wobble, shallow, deep. Metric & SAE. And to think I've had all of my tools stolen before... so I've paid for everything twice.

[@anonymuswere]

so, what's the diesel mechanic's equivelant of the infamous 10 MM that disappears all the time?

[@nordicpride9708]

To sum it up.. you can NEVER have too many sockets… well tools in general

[@bottycarmods]

tool box tour soon?

[@AdeptApe]

If you guys want one I'll do one.

[@gibbsey9579]

Hey Josh... Ya got a 1/2" Whitworth??

[@dannyperry7929]

What is the part number for the starter socket the would have help last week when I put a starter on an 826k

[@wadekeef6145]

Can you do a water pump on a C-15 6NZ?

[@AdeptApe]

I certainly can. Don't have a video on it yet though.

[@jimforsyth2.]

You never have enough.

[@LW-oq9do]

I have a question I would like to swap out a c7 for a c9 in a t300 kenworth how close are they to the same size as far as dimensions

[@brandoncherry1651]

He. Got twinkish thing going..

[@zayin123]

Which do you use more, the 6 point or 12 sockets? In the double stack holders, which is in top 6 or 12?

[@AdeptApe]

I only use the 6 point, unless it is a 12 point headed bolt.

I have more then I'm willing to count

[@KD0CAC]

Now how about the cost of those sockets ???? Thanks again

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

ten buck average would get you close,

[@kenyonworthenii7389]

How do those Cat sockets hold up? I have quite a few sets of them but they don’t get used. I work for a Cat dealer (not as a tech) and got them for nothing

[@AdeptApe]

They are pretty much the same as Snap On. They are great sockets.

[@heavymachinery2843]

I think i have around 600 sockets but to be honest i have a ton of double tools

[@garykirk1968]

Correct answer.. Never enought

[@jaydunbar7538]

I’d like to know the number of sockets not duplicate, with all those sets I’d imagine there are some duplicates with no significant difference for use.

[@Ripsaw17]

Everything I have is triple cause I have all the way up to 3 inch deep short and then it's 6 point then 12 point

[@akfarmboy49]

I would have count every thing 1/4,3/8,1/2,3/4,1” drive

[@ralphholiman7401]

And, not one 10 mm in the bunch!

[@AdeptApe]

Have several of those, although the only socket I've ever lost was a 10mm.

@@AdeptApe , that's just the joke we tell Ion ourselves around here -- no one can ever find the damn 10 mm socket!

[@charlesb4267]

@@jaydunbar7538 That reminds me of a fairly young lady that works in parts at a truck and trailer parts supplier and she had gone part way through apprenticing as an automotive mechanic prior to that but gave it up to arm pain issues and had a tattoo of a wrench on her arm.
