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
@PARABOLA19662 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

@willb30184 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

I have 2 of those Braun flashlights, one for my Toolbox and one for my truck, they are awesome, I love how they are rechargeable so your not constantly buying batteries for them and how they have a magnetic base and they are totally adjustable! I can't believe they are $40 now, I got my first one for $26 with a coupon and my second one for $32 without a coupon. Their magnetic trays are also great, they are cheaper than anywhere else, I have a bunch of them from the 4" ones to the 3" ones and even a big rectangular one and they have coupons all the time where you can get a magnetic tray for free when you buy something. I also like their deadblow rubber mallets, I used to have some Matco ones that cost a lot more and weren't any better. I almost forgot, I got my Daytona Jack from there and it's the best jack I've ever had and it was only $180, I'm sure a snap-off one would have been $500 or more,, I didn't get their "top of the line model" but I got what should be their top of the line model, it has the lowest profile and the highest lift height plus it has a foot pedal it's great it'll even lift so high that it'll even lift my 2500HD 4wd Chevy 4 door short bed with a Durumax diesel and a 6" lift and 37" tires off the ground! I got mine before they had different colors so it's orange but I love it and probably would pick orange again cuz it's easy to see so I have no problem finding it in the garage unlike my old gray one.The Bauer 1/4" hex driver is meant mostly for screw bits and running screws etc. not sockets it doesn't really have the power to remove anything but maybe just very small bolts and nuts, they make 3/8" and 1/2" impact guns specifically for nuts and bolts. Next thing you need to get is one of those huge Icon tool chests lol! Great video I really enjoyed it!

I went last week and purchase myself some needle nose Pittsburgh plyers for 1.99 plus tax. So far they are doing a good job im able to hold a wire with the the needle nose and put it in the hole so that I can solder it with my soldering gun.

Snap is cool cause of the life time warranty and they replace broken tools with no questions asked other tool trucks ask to many question that’s what I like about snap on

I'm going to drop my two cents here and say, I have never used HF electric or pneumatic tools. I have used and abused Ryobi 18One+ tools. I absolutely recommend them. I have actively been abusing my old blue ones for years trying to make an excuse to upgrade them.
