My Top 10 Lube Tech Tools Must Have

After years of being a tech and selling tools this is my picks for what a new lube tech might need to buy to get started. There are many tools out there and this is just a short list of what I have seen that most lube techs buy. Thanks for watching and please sub to see more.

There is a real art to marketing on these trucks. The layout of the tools on the shelves , the outlandish bright colors on the tool handle grips, the color of the packaging , etc draws people inward. And for some reason I am drawn into the trucks that are just overflowing with every tool imaginable. I want to buy something even though I don't really need it. 🙂

LOL.. great comment..!

[@warrenself]

Definitely need a tread depth gauge. The color coded ones are nice.

[@midatlantictools]

True there a lot that can be added to the list.. this is just a starting point. thanks for watching

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

I know you are always stumping to sell your products (as any good business owner should), so I appreciate your list and your comments.

A funnel set would definitely be on there for me and id also get the Toyota oil filter remover tool both sizes and a pick set for gaskets or at pocket screwdriver which also helps free the gaskets that get stuck to the oil pan and now with skid plates torx bit heads thats a must now also not as simple as the old days

Can you do a video on those about to join the Heavy Line Diesel world (Tractor/ Trailer field) what tools are needed. GREAT VIDEO

I can just don't know when.. but I do have a list of topics I want to do and I will add it.. Thanks for watching..

Just an update for you. I'm working on that video on HD tools for the new tech. Been asking my HD customers and making a list. Thanks for the suggestion hope you Sub so you don't miss it..

moisture tester for brake fluid and witness paint in a tube used in airplane fittings etc to mark a drain plug after you tighten it is what my cousin mentioned he has

Very good feedback.. thanks

Which gloves do you have, or hand cleaner. I like the head light but guys are using the around the neck types now. And you are right about the air tools being first.

I sell microflex gloves. Thanks for watching and feedback

Good video. Good suggestions on tools for lube techs. Torque sticks are inaccurate though.

You are correct, I was never a fan of them also..

Best thing about this video is I learned how to pronounce Lisle. 😁

Usually as a lube tech any kind of battery tester is supplied by the shop.

You are one of the lucky one most my customers have to buy them. Thanks for watching

@@midatlantictools especially places like dealerships they provide them, thanks for making your videos noticed the ezred neck light that are similar to the ones Snap-On and MATCO make but I’m a lube tech so no chance I’m gonna buy that 200$ light when I can get an Amazon version for 40 bucks

[@midatlantictools]

​@@williamsanders468 Always try to support your tool dealer when you can but I do understand when it's a big saving. Paying a little more is OK if you have a good tool dealer that will help you getting the right tool for your job. Hope you Sub so maybe you will see other tools that you might need someday..!

I have the aircat 1150 and other air wrenches the ac 1150 is one of the strongest guns I have owned much stronger than the snapon mg725 that is so over priced on the snapon truck 500.00 bucks my ac 1150 was under 200

@@midatlantictools oh for sure. Ive been a tech for over 20 yrs. ive used mostly snapon cordless until i found Milwaukee a few yrs ago. I have an extensive collection of the m18 and m12 tools and they've helped me make good money. Great investment and I'll continue to buy them.

One hand spinner with a good assortment of 1/4" sockets eliminates the need for nut drivers.

[@itsatoolthing6323]

Your assuming a lot. Most of the new guy can't even show up to work most days and you think they would have tools somewhere there not even going to bother to show up. It's even funnier the odd day they show up and complain they don't make enough money working (oops show up at the work place) maybe 10 hrs a week.

There some truth with your feedback.. thanks for watching
