SIDE HUSTLE as a 4x4 Fabricator (Toolbox Tour)

Huge shout out to Richard for letting me stop by! A great dude with a passion for fabrication and 4x4s. Richard has it made - being able to pick and choose which battles he wants to tackle since his fabrication business is his side hustle. You definitely get a feel for the 4x4 community when you hear Richard talk about his experience in the industry. Thank you so much for meeting up with me and giving us all a tour!

I can't tell but from the video it looks like some of his drawers aren't opening all the way. I had the same issue. All you have to do is open the drawer till it stops and then give it a firm slow pull and it'll open the rest of way. Only have to do it once per slide. My guess there is a build up of grease in the back keeping it from opening all the way. Helps if you do one side of the drawer at a time. Absolute game changer for me

[@ToolBoxTour]

Good catch! and thanks for the tip!

[@RyanMcIntyre]

I tried this in the store, works!

[@lbahr11]

Love the Tekton ratchets. Swapped out my Snap on ratchets with them. The comfort grip seems to fit my hand better. I’m an HD mechanic since 1980 and have been a Snap on guy from the beginning. The new mechanics have it so much better than we did. You can buy quality tools cheap, and not have to sell your soul to the tool truck. Like all of us old dudes had to.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah the options everyone has today is great.

[@tifosinh]

I love seeing the home fabricated tools. That punch holder is great!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Had a problem, and solved it!

[@richeygoldberg8549]

I really appreciate the model numbers. I've found a lot of cool tools I didn't know about from your channel.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Glad I could help!

[@danielgeng2306]

Great set up! Thank you for your service and thank you for my freedom!

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Thank you, Mr. Richard, for your service! Cool stuff, nice and neat toolbox and shop. Thank you for sharing!

[@JOHN-that-is-me]

Thank you for your service

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks for watching John!

[@cblack1863]

Love how the Snap-On ball joint add-on package, costs more than Icon's entire 'knock-off' BJ press kit, lol

[@pedaltheglobe419]

Forged vs cast. When you are putting that much load on something might be best to fork over the cash if you value your health.

[@maxscriptguru]

This was a lot of fun.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidsharp3522]

The reversible Gearwrench wrenches IMO can’t be beat.

[@DEACON_ONFROY]

this guy is trying to hypnotize me with those eyes😂

[@warrenlee3113]

Nice home box set up

[@Bowhunterohio]

I have that same ruler and didn’t know what the heck it was for. It makes sense because It belonged to my grandpa and he was a retired engineer from GM. The one I have is a Sterling slide rule

[@ToolBoxTour]

Very cool!

[@ElectroAtletico]

Those hard handles are awesome!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Right? I prefer them over the comfort grips.

[@willb3018]

When I was in high school......talking late 60s here..... I had a drafting class. While I did not exactly master it, I was pretty handy with a slide rule. I still it but probably haven't touched in in 50 years.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Cool you were able to learn that in school. Id like to learn how to use one someday.

[@unwired1281]

Another good tour. 👍‼️ I always wonder if these home shop guys have tool truck guys easily available or if they have to chase them around town. Try to include that question maybe❓

[@RIDEONDIRT14]

I got my snap on reps #, so I just call and set up a time and place to meet him

[@unwired1281]

@@RIDEONDIRT14thanks for the quick reply. I was still watching the video! I’m a retired electrician but I’m fond of snap on so if I want something I have to turn into a stalker 😂

[@maxscriptguru]

My Snapon truck just comes to an auto shop down the street from my house, in a sleepy little town.

[@Dan-wt7jx]

I have multiple sets of those Craftsman Professional wrenches, they are absolutely fantastic, the first couple generations were made by SK, with the later made by Danher.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Cool to hear they hold up well. I haven't seen many tech with them.

Always learn something in these vids. Thanks for sharing.

I have that same sunex kit, use it daily

Kabo makes those carlyles as well as matco,platinum,icon,cornwell k tool & the mountains

[@ToolBoxTour]

Funny how different brands charge different prices for the same set.

[@davidsizemore9640]

@@ToolBoxTour your right, mountain usually cheapest, but unless you buy off tool truck its almost impossible to get warranted. platinum and sometimes k tool is found and warranted on truck, of coarse Icon is harbor freight if you choose to deal with brick and morter store and dont have access to truck. The cornwell set is the highest comeing in at over $400

[@davidsizemore9640]

Of coarse Carlyle is sold thru Napa auto parts stores.

[@TooljunkieDave5215]

Cool video! I own mostly snap on and Matco stuff. But I will say that after I took a chance on tekton I have become a fan! Bought some 12 points for taking engines apart and they’re great. They handle torque and they grab great!!!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah Tekton has made some really good stuff lately. I hear no complaints from guys that buy from them.

[@TooljunkieDave5215]

@@ToolBoxTour I’m loving the socket storage they have. Just ordered some holders for my sae stuff to actually fit it in my top compartment of my cart. Wish you could see it man it’s freaking legit!

[@davidsizemore9640]

Wilde makes pry bars for menards, channel lock, hyper tough,tekton which are pretty much same except for color & some are easier to get warranted than others.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Which ones do you think are easiest to warranty out?

[@davidsizemore9640]

@@ToolBoxTour Tekton by far easiest, take picture, send it and usually depending on were located in country, you should receive in couple days. No proof of purchase necessary, or questions, they truly stand behind product.

[@1pieman]

Does Richard have a KZbin channel I feel like I know him or seen him somewhere as usual great video you have shown me something I have to have or you cost me money more tools please keep them coming thanks 👍😎👍

[@ToolBoxTour]

I don't believe he has a KZbin channel. But he should definitely start one! He has a ton of great content with the fabrication he does.

[@1pieman]

@@ToolBoxTour thank you

[@benjaminabel8596]

I was thinking "we got C-A-L Ranches here in Utah, too", but I guess he's not in Utah.

[@forgeperformanceand4x4]

[@ToolBoxTour]

[@fastmtnbiker]

I wonder how many of us vets use our old heat guns for work today? Vets date themselves when they claim to have polished boots during their service time.

[@PowerstrokeToyt]

The one key word this guy said Tool boxes dont make you any money it just holds tools and he would rather spend money elsewhere I just have a HF full tech holds majority of tools i dont use daily on the side a milwaukee packout 3drawer that holds miscellaneous and hardly used tools my daily cart is an ironton sliding top didnt spend much on carts etc but the tools i can buy is where the money makers are

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yep! I'm way more impressed with a HF box filled with Snap on tools than a Snap-on box filled with HF tools. Always nice to find a balance on things.

[@Toolaholic7]

The Icon sockets,can buy them calling Harbor Freight.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Good to know!

[@Nermash]

How much would equivalent SnapOn box cost? I guess somewhere around 14k?

[@markm0000]

SnapOn box, stainless top, and hutch is closer to $20k.

[@stevenb.182]

Wow !!! You two guys are making me feel OLD !!! You are looking at a slide rule, and don't know what it is !!!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Haha I hope to learn how to use one someday.
