Racing Team Tool Box Tour - With Specialty Tools

[@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.

Old school tools are a lot better.

[@luke9299]

EM***MILITIA *** agreed the German and English tools were the best

[@NippyMoto]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lemster101]

When I'm moving up to a "grown up" toolbox, you can bet I'm using this video as an example for layout. Throughout the entire video there were so many subtle hints that said "we've been doing this for years, and this is simply the best way to do it".

[@davidduma7615]

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

[@igqfresh]

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

[@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 🤣

[@bradysully5755]

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.

[@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.

[@Nordmore68]

The 47 that didn't like this video... What went wrong this morning? Simple, organized, good and fast explanations, tidy and clean even if its been used for years! This is good routines, Mr Papadakis! Thank you for sharing the video. Btw, I think Fredrics old mechanic works in a motorcycle shop near by me, and he wanted to build a turbo on my motorbike. :D

[@Simon-ko3wy]

Standard and metric. Metric and imperial. Imperial isn’t standard anywhere but the states.

[@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!

[@rolandalfonso6954]

Seriously!!?? Well done! What a car it must be!( Says bit of a Honda guy who has owned an '07 Civic Si -K20Z3-Sedan bathed in Fiji Blue Pearl since new...and also a 1967 MG MGB . Japanese and British. Great minds think alike. )

[@Greg-TC]

your lotus sounds amazing

[@jamieb3979]

How many times have u broken down since cuz we all know what lotus stands for

[@exploranator]

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.

[@SqueakyNeb]

This is awesome. So great to see just some of the little details that an experienced mind has collected over time. The little bits of preparation like organising tools, little tools and gadgets that I didn't even know existed! I've gotta go by myself some flush cutters...

I was like "Huh? Isn't Metric the Standard Stuff? Do I confuse Meter and Inch? What? I'm lost o.O" But I'm just a "Hobby Mechanic" on my Motorcycle in Germany, never encountered a "Standard size".

[@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

Matco and snap on.... best companies to this day!!

[@jamieb3979]

Snap on is a waste of money mate. Just go Halfords. Both offer exactly the same thing and Halfords do it way cheaper

[@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.

[@Alodri]

My most "misplaced" tool is between my ears. I'm working on it though; lots of good tips in this vid. Keep up the good work!

Awesome video, I love seeing how others capitalize on space and ease of use of their tool boxes! One recommendation though, add a magnet to that oil filter, that way when you cut it open, most of the debris should be attached to where the magnet is stuck to on the outside.

[@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".

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.

[@jesusrincon24]

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

You deliver a lot of inf in a very understandable easy way not just about the toolbox which I like a lot, but about the content too.

[@kellybanks8681]

I'm waiting to see the walk through on the trailer. You all seem to move so effectively through an FD weekend in Longbeach with a very simple setup so it has to be just as organized as the box if not more. Thanks for these vids 👍🏽👍🏽

[@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.

[@VertigoGTI]

Man, I need one of those tap holders!

[@kb01663]

That crank pulley chain wrench is legit, that's a lot easier than pulling a starter off to install a flywheel holding tool

Great minds think alike. Just migrated all my crap to a new box, set it up pretty much like this, and for the same reasons. Never thought to put a shorty 2x4 in the bottom though... Imma be right back...

[@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...

[@HorsepowerIndustries]

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!

I love this. This would be a perfect christmas special. So enjoyable. Smart order, cars, knowledge, the relaxed "away from the world" sense when in the shop.

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

Don’t fix what ain't broke 😝

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

Immediately bought those tap holders before video ended... never knew these existed. Going to be so helpful.

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.

[@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.

[@LordRumple]

Great vid, keep em comin.When you said sometimes your impact wont take off the crank I was surprised and then I saw your impacts are 20+ years old! I bet my 3/8 MG325 would break it loose no sweat. The cordless Milwaukee High TQ 1/2" would spin it with ease and they are only 200 bucks.

[@DDS029]

Only . . . Sometimes that's why some people have 20+ year old tools . . . 😁

[@LordRumple]

@@DDS029 Compared to every other brand of similar tools 200 is a bargain.

[@45shutr1]

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

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.

[@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.

[@beaztsnipr]

Metric is standard mate. Imperial is disgusting.

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

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.
