The unsung hero of any auto mechanic is the lower back. I had no idea till I started working on cars.

I like how simple you keep things. No need to pull out the picoscope everytime something is wrong. A decent scanner and knowledge will go a long way. Your a great mechanic for sure. Great video as always!! I agree with you about snap on btw, you dont have to pay ridiculous prices for tools, but i promise not all tools are created equally. It doesnt have to be snap on, but it doesn't have to be the cheapest tool possible either. There is a balance between the two.

Hear, hear, glad to hear you talk about tools. Glad you have the same feeling about tools as I do. My go to brand is Husky. I own Harbor Freight, Gear wrench and other Miscellaneous brands. I'm so sick of Snap-on, Matco and Mac Tools. They are not worth the money. I repaired my head gasket on my 1995 Toyota 4Runner with mainly Husky tools. The only tool I had problems with was with a Titan 1/2 socket wrench which I had just purchased from Amazon. The Titan wrench just stripped out. Back to Amazon it went..

the knowledge you were giving about tools is very accurate, i wish i knew that the brand of tools didnt matter when i first started wrenching for a career spent about $15k-$20k on snap on tools mainly because they were accessible and when i NEED a tool right then and there...they got it on the truck lol now my tools are from anywhere i can get the tool from, now even though i love my snap on tools, harbor freight is literally my best friend now the only thing i do wish is they drove around a truck like snap on does

i am still in college and the first tool i bought was a hercules electric 3/8 ratchet. I got one with a long head because the short ones weren't available. I figured that tool would be the tool i use the most. Its the longest ratchet i have making it great a breaker bar sometimes.

What happened to the black tool box? Haven't seen it in months in your videos. Just wondering. Was it not a good idea to have it in the back of the truck.
@RoadsideRescue8 ай бұрын
I didnt use it enough. I ended up just putting tools in the bed so much I just moved it to the big truck for tool storage rn. until that is running.

As a 9 year mechanic I would say quality tools make the job less of a hassle but it’s not impossible to do it with low quality tools. Snap on, definitely the best. All of my wrenches and pliers are snap on and I have not had to warranty any in the entirety of my career yet. Trying to remove the spring clamps with crappy pliers is a pain. I have cheap tools at home I used for side work but have since upgraded to icon because their copies are so good. I definitely recommend using icon, sunex or any of the cheaper than “pro” alternatives because they will most definitely work just as good as the big dollar tools. On a final note I bought a duralast 24mm from Autozone to complete my at home wrench set since my icon only went to 19 and I had 21 and 22 from an old gear wrench set (replaced because I lost several) and unfortunately the open end does fit on 24mm fasteners but the box end no chance 😂😂😂.

Good advice. I definitly want a nicer quality set, but can't see myself ever paying for snapon
@alexandergunaka6664 ай бұрын
This is the bigger problem with snap on guys. Snap on, nor anyone else is the best in every tool. Few quick examples off the top of my head would be Autel scanner, Milwaukee 1/2 inch Impact, and knipex pliers.

Hey Ernest, just wanted to ask what are the best ways to get customers as a mobile mechanic. I’m going back to school and quite frankly working 50 hours/week for 18.5 an hour isn’t gonna work for me. Thank you for any advice
