I started off at a dealership as a lube tech. My starting tools consisted of a US General roll cart, 200 piece Husky mechanics tool box, and hand me down wrenches. Got me pretty far for about 5 months until I got moved to a helper doing front end work.. then I got more tools. Started buying off the tool truck (Snap On) to help build credit, traded in my harbor freight box for a real nice Snap On Power Drawer and the best thing. I still buy some tools from HF and off the truck only if I need it. Been at the dealership for almost a year now and I still use my husky tool set more than my snap on. Goes to show even cheap tools can take you pretty far

[@PARABOLA1966]

Snap On has always been overrated, mate. They're nice, but there's many out there that wayyyy more affordable, and do the job to earn you a paycheck. I say this because I wrench on commercial aircrafts, and we see more US General toolboxes on the hangards and flightline, than any other toolboxes, period. The Snap On guys have spent thousands of Dollars on their gear, and they have their toolboxes super clean all the time, which in a way reflects the mindset, and hence, the paranoia with owning it.

[@FutonStories]

I know this is an old video. The only thing I'd add instead of the 18:08 Doyle screwdriver set, I'd get a Doyle 6-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver. Sometimes you're in tight places and you need a Phillips where a standard Phillips screwdriver won't fit. If you're not locked into harbor freight, I'd recommend the Husky 6-in-1 from Home Depot; It is the only multi-screwdriver I've had that keeps a Phillips and a Flat-head on the same side for easy access. The 3/8 and 1/4 holes are also convenient for undoing hose clamps! For $8.99 before tax, I think it's a pretty good deal! Thanks again for posting your video and sharing with us!

[@Not_Sure_]

@13:45 Torque test channel has done a review on the air impact tools, the working torque on this gun is about 450 -550 range of torque.

[@shayederryberry8636]

I was the same way man! Did my first SR swap with a walmart ratchet and socket set, some pliers, autozone ratcheting wrenches and autozone jack/jack stands. Used the jack handle as a breaker bar for the driveshaft bolts! Was years after that I actually started investing thousands in tools just to make my life easier

[@natevanlandingham1945]

I have torn up two 1.5 pound HF dead blows. They replaced them no questions. One I was banging the crap out of radius arms on a ford and the bolt cut the face out. The other I was useing doing trailer bearings the grease soaked into the dead blow and made it brittle. One cold day in the 30s I was trying to hit something and it started chipping off.

Ive heard great things about Icon brand tools. I am a hobby mechanic that just works on my cars when I get board. I dont think I can justify the extra cost when the Pitsburgh brand tools are working great for me. As a pro mechanic, I can see why you're getting the better stuff

[@willb3018]

I bought the Icon swivel head ratchets. Use them and like them a lot. Used a 20% Icon coupon....which made the price OK. While Icon certainly is a cut above the standard HF fare quality wise, generally I do think that they may be bit overpriced for that upgrade depending on the tool....but especially the tool storage. While the Icon storage products quality certainly is better, the US General stuff is one of the best HF values IMHO. I do agree that new techs just starting out are smarter to avoid the tool truck stuff and get as close to a full set of necessities as you cen. Over time, upgrade as needed and as finances permit. Your personal mental health and welfare will be better for it and the vehicles or whatever you work on won't know the difference.

[@joshuastevens5910]

When I started on working on equipment I used my grandpas old craftsman tools. Some of the sockets are more then 3 decades old. He used them for basic farm machine maintenance but since I’ve been using them they’re stout. Compared to some of the new craftsman’s made in China.

[@WafflePawn]

They’re not over priced. Everything icon has is made by a company that also makes tools for matco. Ratcheting wrench set from icon is 160. The same exact set with the same manufacturer from matco is 450.

DISCLAIMER* I’m an employee at Harbor Freight, I wanted to mention that unfortunately our impact wrenches are NOT on a lifetime guarantee, you have 90 days to exchange or return the item, HOWEVER, Most of the time if a customer comes in and they are past the manufacture warranty, we will exhchange the item out evenly for an exact model IF you purchase the extended warranty moving forward. ONLY Sockets, wrenches, pliers, hammers, most measuring units, and screwdrivers are on a life time warranty for FREE.

The snap on discount during school kinda sucks lol I've seen a bunch of guys that spent 3 grand on all snap on tools and ended up not even making it through school. You're definitely right to start with cheap stuff until you know what you really need and upgrade as you go.

[@tylerhill6706]

Ya but since you bought them half off chances are you can sell them for around same price you bought them for. I get that school discount right now but I’m only two months into and waiting couple more months to see how I feel about this career before I spend the money. In the end buying cheap hand tools that will break all the time is just as bad as buying expensive tools

[@Dansk55]

Honestly, if you own a Toyota or Honda, the $40 130pcs HF tool set will do like 90% of your work. I just did a timing belt on my old Celica with that kit, extension and offset wrench sets. I also got their breaker bar and torque wrench. When I owned my Audi, I had to get specialty tools up to about $300+

Best advice for starting a tool collection is buy cheap to start. When something breaks then you have the justification to buy a more expensive tool to replace it. Because if you broke it you clearly use it a lot.

Cool. The hf impact extensions are very good. You can also add a set of 3/8 impact wobble extensions for around ten bucks. I also like the Pittsburg 3/8 long handle flex ratchet which can also do double duty as a 3/8 breaker bar. Perfect for tighter drain plugs.

[@SuperFireBall2000]

Impact grade sockets aren’t actually harder than chrome sockets or less prone to cracking. They often have thicker walls which make them more durable but they are actually a softer metal. This is so that after extended use the socket wears down rather than slowly rounding the anvil of your impact gun. Sockets are cheaper than an impact gun.

I have almost never used my 3/8ths equipment. I always use 1/4 or 1/2 inch. I suppose it is because I have the large, comprehensive 1/2 and 1/4 inch impact sets that take care of everything. Also, I work almost exclusively on my small personal fleet of 1980's Ford trucks and full size cars, so finding room to work on things is easy enough, and a shorter ratchet isn't needed. Seems like everyone else, 3/8ths is their "go to" for almost everything.

That 1/2" set goes down to the smaller sizes just cause you may be useing a 1/2" reatchet and it's just so you don't need to grab another ratchet. I agree with you though. You should not need a 1/2" drive ratchet on a 10mm bolt.
