He obviously proved you can be a professional with HF tools. This dude was about making money and could care less about fancy name brands

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I can respect that.

[@AB-ot3bc]

I totally agree with you on that, plus some people have families and want to spend their money on them and if you can get the job done with mediocre tools then why not. Plus a lot of HF tools are guaranteed and can get replaced if broken.

[@mlieser1230]

I'd say you broke even. The Snap-on and Matco cart have value. A lot of the heavy equipment guys tend to buy the inexpensive large wrenches as they cost a small fortune from Snap-on.

[@weldingjunkie]

Idk I think he missed here. If you’re not gonna use a lot of these tools and they’re worthless and from what I saw, he’s not gonna get any money from him either.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

The Pittsburgh impact sockets will hold up pretty well... and if they don't, you spend $35 and get all another set. ...Looks like he's put a beating on them and they're working out fine

[@wyattoneable]

Once you get it organized and inventoried you'll have some good back up tools.

[@rodneybugher9312]

Looks like a good set up for a new tech to buy and build from. Plenty of tools and storage to get a career started for sure. Upgrade as you see fit. Probably not a great score for reselling.

[@phillipowens1493]

Looks like you got a lot of various tools and boxex in great condition, while they may not be the highestquality tools they can still get the job done. I believe if you priced each tool individually it would exceed what you paid especially the basic toolboxes, so I would say you did OK!

[@kevdipple5000]

Snap-on snob.

[@heabyk8453]

Where I live I pay under 2$ for a 1/2” or 13mm open box wrench with 10 years warenty. I can have them every meter in my garage and loose them in the dirt. Witout crying.

Armstrong was some of the best made hand tools around. Just as good as Snap -On. IMO!

The Snap On Box and Matco cart are worth 3000.00 by themselves

Not that much. I saw a FB marketplace ad a few days ago with that box packed with snapon. $4k. It was up maybe 15 minutes 😂

[@tyleraulds8139]

If it turns a bolt or a nut which is the better tool? An expensive one or a cheap one? I believe you came out on the good side.

[@andrewscott8892]

In 3rd drawer of the matco cart Where those extra long chisels/punches in the Armstrong vinyl roll up pouch actually Armstrong?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Not really sure. When I get back to the shop, I’ll have to double check..

[@rons217garage3]

Armstrong Tools were also sold by Matco.. so that chisel and punch set was a good get.

Awesome find I bet just the boxes and cart are worth the money u paid. Just wait for someone to come on and say all those matco tools aren't made by matco. Lol

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I don’t care who makes them as long as they do the job! Gonna pick through it and whatever will help me at the shop, I will keep and everything else will go up for sale. I plan to keep the cart. The boxes probably will get sold.

[@NutsandBoltswithTone]

@@HowtoAutomotive I feel the same way

[@heabyk8453]

I wasnt so impresed at the snap on cart. Didnt look to me that it make the weight of heavy inpact

[@AB-ot3bc]

Most of those big wrenches and sockets were probably used only a couple of times and you would be a fool to get rid of them.

[@gonsales2737]

well for me you're a master. i learn a lot watching your videos

[@corbettknowles9942]

I'm going say snap on box prob holds most value if matco cat cart wouldn't got dented I say I had more than 3000 in two but I don't know with dent in it now as far pittsburg stuff if u bought all that new today u would be in more than 3000 but it's worth what person willing to give us my opinion because no matter the brand tools are not cheap

[@GlenJS]

I think that you have a decent amount of lower end tools that would do someone very well and you did alright for $3000.00 dollars. Having had my complete boxes of tools stolen while I was in the Navy I can understand the purchasing of the Harbor Freight tools. I have had to purchase the inexpensive tools like that to build an engine and do body work on my 78 Suburban and they did serve me well. I would like to have better tools, but I also know that it will be unlikely that I will purchase Snap-On as the tools that I bought seem to be of decent quality. I did not buy the cheapest tools from Harbor Freight but also opted for the lifetime Guarantee so that I can just replace them when or if they break.

[@timferguson8654]

It would be great for a startup mechanic

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I agree

[@neilkratzer3182]

What do you call best quality? If it fits the fastner tight and does it's job what more can you ask? I have bought high end tools and many other types of tools. I found out it's not the name on the tool that gets the job done.

[@carlpresler2991]

Did great for the price

[@chadlambert3186]

That's a great starter kit

[@Nanoparticle7]

Don’t knock the Pittsburg tools, I use them all the time on my two cars i own, but a mechanic uses the tools every day and then they may fail. But personally they have never failed me and I beat the crap out of them.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Not all of the Pittsburgh Harbor freight tools are cheap and bad some are decent tools

[@Nanoparticle7]

@@HowtoAutomotive I love farts 💨

[@mechanicmike1236]

Looks like you’ll probably make a little, could sell just the boxes and come close to 70-80% of breaking even, fleamarket or garage sale the rest but you’ll have a lot of time making sets to sell, might not be a great deal but I think you’ll do better than even. Good luck.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I agree with you. Not a home run but I don’t think I’ll lose either. More importantly I was able to help the guy out.

[@corbettknowles9942]

The macro roll cart with sliding top custom list for about 2500 new

[@weldingjunkie]

Damn man I feel like you lost out. People say you broke even but if you don’t use it then it’s worthless. Some of the impact you can use etc but doesn’t feel like he wrenched for a loooooog time. Looks like it was turned into a home owner box when he left the field

[@HowtoAutomotive]

We decided to keep them and build a mobile server truck.

[@rickthompson7162]

I think it’s a loss. Tools are very hard to sell unless they are snap on or cornwell. The boxes are worth some money.

[@loadi2865]

lovely tools the only thing cheap Sir. is you...

[@joshm2243]

50/50 dawn dish soap/ water, a rag and scrub brush to cleanup up those tool cases' as well as degrease them. Cant stand dirty tools being put away dirty.

You made your 3k with just the Snap On roller box, would cost you 3x more to buy this stuff now. Even the "junk" stuff.

[@eliezerramosjr1017]

[@gonsales2737]

For fans of car repair. or a beginner in the repair business. Maybe it was a good deal. but you a master.?.? No, that's a waste of time and money.

@@olivertaylor8788 I agree with you! I’m not the biggest fan of snap on tools for sure. Especially their electric stuff.

Hopefully, when you retire someone will buy up your tools and donate to your retirement fund.......pay it forward.

[@thedr309]

id say you got a hell of a deal, but your slinging things around like dial indicators an meters show you have no respect for too;ls or people, you got a decent set of tools and your all pissy cause it wasnt up to your standards which seem as inflated as your ego....i kind of wish he had gotten over on you after watching this video. good tools are more than just a name, i'd gladly pay less for quality tools, name does not always mean quality.

[@1970brianc]

Absolutely agree with you, I worked heavy equipment for years and my HF and Husky tools were fantastic. This guy is defiantly a snap on fanboy snob.

You prob broke even. Though I feel as if you got the short end of the stick. Inexpensive tools don’t retain much value as you know.

I don’t think we got ripped off, but I don’t think we hit a home run either. Thank you for watching!

[@PaulyC_1987]

Bottom box is $500-$800, cart is around the same without the damage. Probably about a grand in the hole on that one by the time you're done. Side lockers do pretty well used regardless of brand. There's likely another 400 bucks between that and the top box.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@@PaulyC_1987 even by your math that’s still close to two grand just for the boxes and cart.
