I love listening to Stephan talk, he's so soft spoken and isn't putting on a show or talking himself up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I remember the 90s and the FWD drag racing cars showing up in HRM. Hated them. Still do, but it's great to see we are similar gear heads regardless of preferences. Watched this twice now. This is good info for new wrenchers. And it is very enjoyable for us old amateurs too.

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.
@WalkerKlondyke5 жыл бұрын
@@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".

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.

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...

awesome video Steph! this clearly shows that you don't need to have a very extravagant tool set and tool box to be able to build and service a competitive race car. no frills, all business! and yes, I hope we had YT or any form of social media, 15-20 years ago. just imagine the kind of reach the "OG's" can get if we had these back then. gone are the days of waiting a month or so to just buy a Super Street, Import Tuner, SCC or Turbo magazines, just to see what happened at a previous BOTI event or see whats everyones doing with their builds. now, all the information you need is right at your fingertips. lol!
