ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back­to­ back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport­ compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel ­drive, tube­-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front­-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front­-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear­-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club.

Shout out to the 2x4, bet you can’t get that awesome tool off the snapon truck

[@athomedetail6512]

No doubt! That's real tho. Can't count the times I've been working on something & said "man, I need a block of wood.

They'll start selling a glorified block of wood and call it a wooden anvil. All the idiots would fall for that.

I just moved into a house with a 2 car garage for the first time. I’m moving my tools into the garage but both my grandpas left me their tools. Essentially I I get to fill the garage with family tools! It’s going to take forever to organize them and there so many old duplicates. I’m super excited to see all the tools left to me to add to my collection. I’m moving inside the house should take 2 seconds but the garage will take forever.

[@jakeells66]

Love the fact that this is a legit pro toolbox and you have old ass tools that literally looks like something my dad would have. It it works, run it 👍

Tools are tools, good quality tools will last a lifetime. Also these are just tools that are heavily used due to being used by a race team. They are probably only a few years old.

All of the "best practice" tips you gave made this is so much more valuable than every other random guy's toolbox tour.

[@MrRyanxdavey]

I love that Papadakis Racing is cracking open old Snap On battery cases and throwing in replacement Ebay batteries. I love listening to Stephan talk, he's so soft spoken and isn't putting on a show or talking himself up. Impossible to tell from KZbin videos, but it sure seems like he'd be a pleasant guy to work with and for.

[@tony90744]

Love how simple your stuff is. I see all these newer guys have 40-50k in matching snapon tools that look oh so nice but you can easily tell rarely get used. Your stuff gets used and it shows. Thanks for spending the time and making these videos.

[@igqfresh]

That's what happened, Papadakis went from racecar driver to team owner. Awesome milestone for sure!

[@dansolt929]

That hole on the 55 gallon drum is called a bunghole bro. you're holding a bunghole opener lol

[@oby-1607]

A bunghole opener looks like a mushroom.

[@zachshiveley1226]

It’s called a bung wrench

[@sixstringedthing]

Another tip that I've found useful: stick a couple of A4-sized magnetic whiteboards on the sides of the cart. One is a shopping list; whenever someone notices a consumable close to running out it gets written down, then you pull the board off and take it with you (or just take a photo) when it's time to go shopping so nothing gets forgotten. The other board is for temporary use: measurements, clearances, temps, calculations, diagrams if you're explaining something, who's buying the beer, that kind of thing. Well handy.

[@Leothelion357]

Duuuude I’ve been a mechanic for 12 years and his box etiquette is exactly how i roll!!! Omg but there are few and far between, techs out there that actually do this stuff. Thank you for making me feel a little less compulsive compared to everybody else 🤣

[@z1522]

Finally nice to see an actual working tool setup, versus another luxury, Home DIY over-organized Designer version. Here, practical utility is served without a specific spot for every single size driver and wrench, and finding the desired socket or ratchet is quick and visual. No foam Beautyrest nests needed to waste space - they're tools, not Grandma's China. Loads of practical items without fancy, frivolous stuff.

[@AkiraNakayama]

Loved this video! As an avid shade tree mechanic with not enough brain cells to rub together it's great to see how shops and pros go about their business. Fast becoming my favorite channel for no BS car / wrenching content. Bit of a Honda guy myself (stuffed a K24 into my Lotus Exige) so I dig all the import love!

[@jbthestoner5504]

As a heavy equipment mechanic, the only metric bolts I can think of are on Allison transmissions. Everything else is standard. I wouldn't really prefer one over the other, I just like it to be consistent and not all mixed together.

[@DaroriDerEinzige]

@@jbthestoner5504 To be honest - there's only one advantage in Metric: It's easier to do math with it / offers more comfort. Especially if you convert Units into each other. If you got used to Inches, Foots and so on - If you imagine a football field or an american football field for an distance ... That doesn't really matter. But I've absolutly no clue about the american units because I encounter them only online and have everytime to look up what exactly foot pounds are and convert them to Newton Meter so that I can do something with a information (like, 'this ratchets can endure that amount of foot pounds') in my head :o

A faster way (and one that rival teams use to spy on each other) of checking tire temps is a sensitive IR camera (not the cheap stuff) that shows you on an adjustable gradient the exact temperatures via color representation of the entire tire as you view it. The ability to see not only the tire's temperature but the zones on the tire that are hottest and coldest can save your car. If you slowly rotate the tire you can see any anomalies in the tire as you go.

[@cocoapebbles13]

Great video! This type of information is invaluable!

[@tHaH4x0r]

Another good use for a 2x4: If you dont have/cant find the deadblow or rubber mallet, put it between the piece you want to hammer, and a regular hammer. Use that quite often to get axles out of my bikes.

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

The special wrench for the fuel drum is called a bung wrench. It allows you to remove the bung cap so you can access the bung hole.

We run foam drawer liners with cut outs in each drawer for each tool. It takes a little bit of time to set up, but once you do, it ensures everything goes back in the same spot. And if something is missing, you will know by the empty space in the foam at a glance

[@joshuareisbord]

Matco Box loaded with SnapOn tools.... i like that!

[@gordowg1wg145]

Portability is something that many overlook when they buy a nice big toolbox - sometimes it's more convenient to spend a bit extra for two smaller ones if you need to move it a lot. Over time, the rubber bottoms of the drawers can rip and fall apart, you can use carpet off-cuts instead. The commercially available dividers/trays are neat but if you're on a budget, or have different needs, you can pop rivet some folded sheet metal to do the job. For some on a budget, or for the rarely used tools, angler's tackle boxes can be a viable alternative, especially if the internal trays that aren't needed are removed - I used to have quite a few, before purchasing the large box/chest I have, in a variety of sizes, designs and colours - that way I knew exactly what was in each box. Still use them for some things that don't conveniently fit the big boy. For example, electric drills in one with drill bits, small disc grinders with the discs and spanners in another, Dremels and attachments in a third, etc. Some of you may use the above suggestion for PPG, welding accessories, etc. Different folks will have different needs and ideas, so the more suggestions the better chances you'll find what suits you.

[@boxbreakracing]

I am so happy to see you have gaff tape!! As a theatre technician it's the only tape to use ever. Comes off clean, and is strong and sticks to anything. Easy to rip too. I'm also located in southern California! Keep up the awesome work. Great video.

That Bottom Drawer Is Just Sad

[@randomguy-se5dt]

He did justice with those tools. I bought some ten years back didn't used then more then 4-5. Even my wife makes fun of me saying some one was going to do everything DIY.

[@Potato_Man1776]

Y’all need to replace those old snap on electric impact for the millwakie m18 impact that gets 1600 ft-lbs of torque

[@JS-tb9hu]

Don’t fix what ain't broke 😝

[@lancedooley7558]

Them Snap-on will outlast shade tree tools. As you see pros only use Snap-on and us Aerospace mechanics.

[@SamMalcolmShow]

In a pinch, that Honda ball joint tool is one of the most versatile things. I was so happy to see you had one.

[@BlindBatG34]

I need an axle boot clamp tool in my life! I’ve tried for years with just a pair of pliers and half the time it loosens up and I end up with a zip tie or crimp style clamp. Wow, I feel like an idiot for not realizing there was a special tool for those things.

Super helpful! Bought the tap sockets before the video ended! Never knew these existed and many many times I've Jerry rigged a tap into a 12 point socket.

How to make a custom dry sump kit 😉

[@dnzgarage]

I cant believe I have never thought of using a nut driver for hose clamps, I often struggle with a flat head and it takes longer so I got a snap on 8mm nut driver and I use it all the time I love it, thanks for that idea 👍

[@michaelmarcus509]

He’s so organized and smart with how he works, gives me something to look at for improvement nice video

[@ao1645]

That “2x4” is probably my favorite tool !! JK

[@XenomorphLV426]

That misfire temp readout is genius

[@boersmaracing]

What casters did you guys wind up getting to replace the Matco ones? I have the same toolbox and would love to upgrade my casters.

[@franktib]

this^

[@ABH313]

Check out Caster Connection

[@DonBMW]

Shout out to the 2x4. This is a great video and really inspiring for me. Currently have a HB tool cart that I’ve outgrown and will definitely be buying a Matco like this one.

[@bencekoszo1294]

First mod always wheels and tyres. XD

[@supadupa3]

Thank you for the time and effort that you put into these videos. Just found you and wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos. Every single one I've seen so far has been useful to me. I've been working on cars for 24 years and I am always happy when I discover even a nugget of useful information.

[@Fit-bl1ob]

I have 2jz Supra and I want to use different turbo. What turbo that you prefer for Supra?

[@jesusrincon24]

Link to the casters please!!! Need to upgrade them on my Matco box! I hate the ones it came with!

[@tommorri3377]

first 5 seconds and im like "MAGNETS!" perfect, im mounting my spanners like that!!

[@LEGOCAMARO]

Any particular reason you haven’t switched to the new Milwaukee electric tools? Can’t say enough good things about them

[@athomedetail6512]

Hey, if the old snap ons are still working, no need to replace em.

[@LEGOCAMARO]

Anthony Scott just thinking more power, versatile don’t need a air hose, multiple people can work with different tools without sharing a hose, faster to pick up a tool and work.

[@fastindy]

@@LEGOCAMARO They already don't need an air hose with the old setup.

[@WalkerKlondyke]

Ha! I made the same comment. Those things have changed my life. Haven't met a crank pulley bolt it wont back out. And they're inexpensive enough he could upgrade the entire bottom drawer for the cost of ONE SnapOn impact gun.

[@WalkerKlondyke]

@@athomedetail6512 I'd say, at least for the impact gun, the old SnapOn is not working. They still have to use the chain wrench for the crank bolt. I guarantee the Milwaukee will take that off with ease. That's the new standard amount of power. Anything less, I would consider no longer "working".

[@thestickcahhhh]

Someday, i will show my kid this video. Very good info and shows what can be done with a well thought out, basic tool kit.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

WHAT'S YOUR DAILY DRIVER???

[@symontabbenor2186]

I am a self confessed tool nerd, just the perfect video for me. I have been working on cars and motorbikes all my life and I have still learned so much from this video. Love the 2 x 4, I need at least one for my tool box. I have no where enough skill to work on cars like you guys but can I come and clean the floors, clean stuff and make tea and coffee for you, please ??????

[@sasjadevries]

Lol, let me open your eyes here: Those IR pyrometers don't use the laser for measuring, it's just a funny thing to show that it's working and to show where you're pointing. In practice the pyrometers don't measure that small point that you see, they measure an area somewhere around that dot, and if you block that laser with your finger, but don't block the IR sensor you will see it reads the same temperatures and it doesn't use the laser at all. The laser is just for added fancyness...

[@dustinketelhut6046]

i have a titanium racing fuel opener, never knew what it was. Thanks for sharing this video , iam just getting onto home projects and toys that i can work on myself

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

Zip ties can be worse than a prison shank

[@FullLockGarage]

good tip on all the tire pressure checkers. i had to buy 4 to keep in my tool box just because i would check the tire pressure in my daily then forget to put it back and be SOL at the track

[@samgorman5731]

"standard" - Laughs in European

[@lucasenglish8767]

There's two kinds of countries. Ones that use metric and ones that went to the moon. Jokes aside, metric is so much better for the majority of stuff I work on.

[@thetrick9372]

the clips of how the tool works is pretty cool. thanks for doing that

[@beaztsnipr]

Metric is standard mate. Imperial is disgusting.

[@Matt-we7si]

too right

[@devioussounds]

Bahhh lol used to love metric for home auto once I started working on semis standard is amazing

[@beaztsnipr]

@@devioussounds You like semi because that's the hardest you can get for your wife.

[@devioussounds]

I know I kno cause its sooo masssive bro 😋

[@beaztsnipr]

@@devioussounds soft like a twinkie

[@MR-gl1fs]

Good description of the leak down tester. Good set up on your tool box, like the magnet on the the wrenches.

[@gunthead7043]

Metric and standard? Dont you mean STANDARD AND IMPERIAL 😉hahahahahahah

[@AMD1]

Imperial is whitwoth, standard is US customary, and metric is metric.

[@OrdianryMen]

Or IMPERIAL and STANDARD :)))

This was the best video for a newbie trying to figure out what he needs!
