You don't owe anyone an explanation for how you spend your own money. No matter how much you justify or explain a purchase or an expense...the haters are still gonna hate. No matter what. You do you. Love your content. Keep grinding

[@travisvanalst4698]

This. I spend a lot of time trying to convince people on here that it’s ok that someone spends their money on whatever the hell they want.

[@ihavethedocuments2580]

That's not true, once you put in a Pittsburgh tool in your box the whole burrito becomes worthless and you know it bro. ADMIT IT!

[@hhattingh]

Truth, and woo on to you if you clean and take care of your tools. Then the real bitching start.

[@DownHillgamer]

Right lol, the snap on haters will bitch and cry about everything trying to justify why their Chinese boxes are full of Chinese shit that they have somehow convinced themselves is "just as good as snap on" which we all know is a fuckin lie

[@TheLesporter]

Christian you are a very smart young man. I sold Snap-On Tools for 15 years in the 80's & 90's and yes about once or twice a week I would get the Idiot who would walk up to me with the old "HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU SELL THESE OVERPRICED TOOLS". But not one was a professional mechanic. There was about 98% of the people in my territory who had bought or was on the books with me at all times. Yes, we played the price game for fun but not one every argued the quality because they knew I would stand behind everything I sold. And let me say this a professional mechanic will put your tools to the test every day all day and you better be right and with Snap-On I could rest easy they had my back. Not one time did they let me down because I was their customer. Keep up the good work my man. Thanks Les.

[@TheLesporter]

P.S. If Harbor Freight or the Tiawan market wants to get in the business of professional tools put them in a tire shop or transmission shop those folks can destroy tools by repetitive use every hour 8 hours a day. They will put a good Snap-On man to the test, but we still come out on top, I had a bunch of them.

[@JadenHunter-rc2fo]

I appreciate that first 5 1/2 mins 100%. It made me feel like what I am tryna do right now isn’t un attainable

[@johngibson3594]

Haters always going to hate. There are those out here who don’t care about debt that’s your concern not others new tools aren’t a bad sign just means you take care of your stuff. Thanks for sharing your collection and opinions with us

[@mikethelandscaper41]

I don’t owe a dime on my tools either. I work on my own company equipment. Just recently I saw a picture from 15 years ago or so when I only had one nice Craftsman box that was full but now I have 9 full boxes and an entire shop of equipment and shelves of blow molded cases including a crazy Milwaukee battery tool wall. Not all the tools were brand new but I paid cash for it all. Cash is king.

[@UnconventionalGarden]

Attention to detail... as a software engineer it is something we build our office on... universal in every in every profession. Nice tools, love that you have everything from Snap-on to harbor freight.

[@Billybob44567]

You need more subs. My grandpa was a wealthy man but he also fixed a lot of stuff at home. He had an amazing tool box. And watching your go through his reminded me of when I went through his. I’ve seen almost all the toolbox videos.

[@delusion_904]

Adding “Wealthy man” has nothing to do with your whole comment 😂

[@andrewgibbons8159]

Thanks for your time in making this video.

[@autoteq]

Excuse me more than the comment. I have subscribed to the channel now. It is very helpful and I have fun watching it. Thank you very much.

[@DesertedRocket]

Great to see you making videos again! Awesome tour!

[@alexthemechanic8110]

Holly shit dude!! Good to see you back at it!! You ve been missed.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Thanks for the support!

[@niteninja0133]

Love tool box tours, sometimes you'll see something that you could use. I've bought a couple tools from watching these type of videos

[@stephenspieker9433]

Totally agree with you about attention to detail. My customers don't care that they pay more for my work , they just want the job done right, with their place left as if I was never there. I'm a cabinetmaker/finish carpenter with plenty of work from L,A, Nice Box, keep grinding!

[@ramsandrzr3706]

I’ll save everybody this is not his box it is the shop box where he works he still has his green epic.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Thanks, that was a really tough one for people to grasp. 😂

[@JustinHolloway307]

i could tell by the sticker on there snap on makes those for the guy who orders although i used to have twin boxes lockers at home to so i could moonlight

[@steamboat1341]

Oh SNAP, took care of all the jealous haters , works 14-16 hours and more on weekends, took care of the lazy buffoons that don’t hustle, stupidity always outs it’s self.

[@MotherAlgorithm]

I hear what you are saying but I don't live to work.

[@mitianiseduadua2116]

You've done a great job...this is the fundamental of any mechanic to learn and have! Awesome bro keep up a great job!

[@mirandaswiggum2184]

This intro is freaking hilarious 😂 nailed it babe 🛠

[@windKnott]

I’ve worked in the HD, Trucking & Automotive field over 35 years as SE US Rep & E. US Trainer(Yes Caterpillar was one of our national accounts ) & part time racer. It’s interesting how different tool boxes are set up. Not just for “part time” mechanics but fir new guys to see what’s actually used. You’ve done a good job at that but…. If I got a $1.00 for every time you said “Cheap” I could buy a Top Line Snap-On cabinet like yours! I love Snap-On but it makes no sense for a part timer to devote that much on tools they might only use a few times. “Economy” prices tools do have their place. It’s like your driving a new Ferrari & feel the need to give everyone else in the road the finger🖕! One thing that would be of help to new people would be a ball park figure on the true expense involved so they don’t faint first time they step into a Snap-In truck. Good job👍

[@michaelmoses4019]

That solid 19mm is for the crank pulley bolt on Honda's makes timing belt jobs a breeze

[@justinhayward5027]

I have that tap and die set. That set is amazing. Got me out of many jams.

[@maximejette7674]

at 43:11 i really like your calendars on the wall 😉

[@benkeith1799]

I'm mobile on the diesel side, so no sense in picking one up for myself but love that combat green one your rockin. I'm sure you know that you dont have to explain your money to anybody, keep turning wrenches, it's none of their business!

[@agtech4580]

Nice to see you back doing videos thanks for the tour Would be cool to see a tour of the automotive shop you work at some time to

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

There isn't much to see. lol but possibly. Check out the IG. I show it in my stories a lot of times.

[@jris]

Sorry about the negative response, there are a lot of jealous people in the world. It's easier to try to tear someone down than work as hard as they do. Thanks for continuing to post. I opened a CAT account based on your video, trying to order CAT tools are Snap-on rebrands. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it. The CAT website is pretty terrible.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Hell yea! Glad to here it! Thanks for the support!

[@scoundrel1680]

Down with the keyboard warriors, you do you Hoss. Keep killin' it.

[@joeromano5484]

I can appreciate those crocs tho

[@saintsarecoming13]

That ratchet master kit is for push to connect fittings on things like air and fuel lines. We use them on trucks but I have no idea what they would be used for on automotive applications.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Thanks!

[@67elky87]

Such a Great box, Awesome tour! Thanks bruh

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Appreciate the support!

[@lawrenceashworth7668]

I really enjoy this type of content 😀

[@brianrhubbard]

That real thick internal hex socket (if it's a 16mm) in that top drawer is for head bolts on Detroit engines. If you ever get the honors of pulling a head off of one, you will understand real quick why they are so thick. LOL

[@SawyerSmoak]

That weighted 19mm socket is the shit for Honda crank bolts.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Yea someone else mentioned that as well, thanks.

[@johnasosajr]

I believe the jumbo 19 socket is the Honda crank pulley bolt socket I couldn’t tell for sure but I believe that’s what it was

[@blacksmoke5009]

Thanks for sharing bud keep on doing what you do!👍

[@tristenspindler2428]

I have a older snap on box extremely similar. Very good. Paid for. A BRAND NEW one sure be nice. But my 2002 Snappy box jus like this works good. Most importantly, PAID FOR. These older set ups still good. Even by today's standards . . .

[@garrettcr8832]

Hell yeah awesome formula and video

[@andystoolbox]

The mechanic my old lady likes going to he owns his shop and his personal box a Snap On has become the shop box. He just writes his own checks. Lol it looks like the same box.

[@heavymachinery2843]

Man you realy have an awesome tool collection

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Thank you!

[@samuelquiroga7257]

Can you make a video about tools needed to get started in heavy equipment

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Most definitely.

[@everythinghvac6826]

@@ValleyCityAutoYT I would also love to see that! Working at a boat yard rn getting started on outboards but I might join the CAT program at some point and try to work at a dealer as well

[@caliautotech21]

Haters gonna hate lol glad to see ya back brotha

[@ranelldodge7519]

Use lighter fluid to take the black tape off. Soak it for about 40 seconds and it should come right off. It would have been better to have still had the badge on to use as a pressure plate for the adhesive to have hung on to. This hack of using lighter fluid is wonderful for tape, price tags and labels.

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I am from South Africa

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Awesome! Thank you for the support.

[@dougdays8095]

Really digging that power tool drawer set up

[@MrSuperchargedv8]

The beefy 19mm socket @18:48 is a weighted socket typically used for harmonic balancer bolt removal.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

So I have learned. Thank you.

[@usernameruss]

43:38 ain’t a garage without a proper calendar like that!

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Greetings from Milwaukee.

[@jlb194]

Just gonna ignore those Benjamin’s lol love it

[@nathanhudson2258]

You should put those air hammer bits in one of those case organizers

[@danieltubbs458]

FYI that 19mm 1/2” Drive Impact socket at the back of the box is for the Honda Harmonic Balancer

[@kenyatta932]

Thanks 4 d tour bro

[@LocksmithLegend23]

I was able to pick up a snap on heritage box used for a good price. The guy was downsizing. After I got it I called snap on and they sent me new drawer slides for free.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Nice! Hell of a deal!

[@kenyatta932]

Whats good about your tool box is that its univeral not just for a specific type of vehicle

[@russelldainack595]

That extra thick 19mm socket is a weighted socket, probably have it for removing honda crank pulley bolts

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

That would make sense! Thanks.

[@russelldainack595]

No doubt brotha! Love both of your set ups currently working on my tool collection as well😎

[@paulsouders3489]

I know you get different deals for different people on the truck the better the costumer the better the deals lol but may I ask how much you got the cart for? I want one of those so bad lol

[@jacobstacy588]

That’s a weighted 19mm socket for Honda crank bolts you do a timing belt and water pump on a 3.5 Honda odyssey you’re gonna need that socket only on the odyssey for some reason

[@xXR3GANXx]

Cool tools bro, just out of curiosity what happened to your military green epiq box?

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Standing in front of it currently. It is still at the Cat dealership where I work.

[@baileynicklas1188]

Everyone asking what happened to your green box and that if you own this one too needs to learn how to listen lol

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Couldn't agree more!

[@asmautollc]

That 19mm weighted socket is for taking off Honda crank bolts with an impact.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

I’ve had several people mention that. Thank you. Nice channel btw. I watch your videos from time to time.

[@tonycroteau9264]

Great video 👍

[@Tuckerjay2]

@ 16:32 You show a 1/4 drive tool set. By chance do you still have them to provide the part number? I don't have a dealer and I'm not having any luck finding it online. Thank you Jason

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Unfortunately, I do not have a set. This box was one I was using, owned by the employer. I have the combat green Epiq featured on the channel as well.

[@gazebojr2958]

That 3/4 super deep is for caging bolts

[@Jason607]

You should sell your formula to the board of education and be implemented into every school curriculum all 50 states K-12+.

[@sparkspur6770]

That thick socket is for Honda crankshaft bolts

[@emiliojorge5794]

Ty for sharing..

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

LOL I GUESSED IT WAS A TAP N DIE SET, I was right xD

[@tw9374]

Coming from a fellow heavy equipment mechanic who is on the road to have a setup close to yours.. The intro is a bit over the top, almost douchey. I agree that you can make good money doing overtime on an hourly pay and buy tools responsibly to get there. That’s the path that I’ve been on and I respect you for being much further along the same path. Most of these comments are all in good fun “meme” type comments. The “how much money does he owe” comments are going to come when you own that much of their product. Shit they’ll come even with the box alone. Its true for many people, and It’s just the nature of the industry and the easy thing to poke fun at. You gotta elegantly destroy the haters to keep the good fans. Be better than that

[@RuslanTR4]

Nice Tool box👍

[@davewilliams8941]

Great tour.. Haters gona hate BUT I secretly think they love it, why else would they be here 🤷‍♂️

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Same same!

[@Jason607]

Jealousy but if they had the right attitude as he explained before they could benefit. It seems that the better you are doing, the more criticism you get.

[@brandong1990]

Awesome

[@Dubet]

What are the hours like for the side job ? I work full time at a dealer too, and would like to get a 2nd job, just don’t know what’s open when I leave work at 4-5pm

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

I was working there 7am-2pm and at the dealership. 2:30pm-1am.

[@ramsandrzr3706]

For each is his own at the end of the day there just tools nothing special turning nuts and bolts changing parts not rocket science. I’m not a mechanic but I have more snap on tools then most mechanics do big whoop.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

💯 someone should count how many times I said Harbor Freight. 😂

[@filipkopchev7461]

This thing is fantastic. kzbin.infoUgkx1McjgiqTNcTjrhvRvJWcrk5bzTeQW-Wn Easy to store in a bag in "screwdriver" position, not heavy but well built, and the location of the button makes it easy to screw or unscrew with one hand in either "gun" or "screwdriver" position. My only real complaint is there isn't a clip anywhere to store another bit, and the bit isn't a combo dual-ended bit either, so the flathead and P1/P0 philips bits we have to carry around invariably get misplaced.Note: Apparently Black + Decker changed this same Li2000 model from "Type 2" to "Type 3". This new "Type 3" appears to be slightly lighter, and the charging plug is now larger, with a little metal piece to keep it snug. I never noticed the "Type 2" version charger plug to not be perfectly snug, so not sure why this change was made - it does make it annoying that our shop now has 8 of these, and the new 3 have different charging plugs :/

[@T6Tarek]

The heavy duty 19mm is for Honda crank bolts. It's cool seeing the difference between what your using for equipment and automotive

[@CanadianCharlie64]

Is this your box as well?

[@davidpangburn2421]

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Keep that yeller iron moving and buying quality tools lol. Enjoy your tours.

In the Caribbean eg Trinidad junk helps bro.dont cast it down

[@johngibson3594]

Do you get deals on cat branded tools they are snap on from what others have said but better prices?

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Yes, I get them at cost. So in comparison it’s probably about 60 to 80% cheaper than on the snap on truck.

[@MRhappy9]

I would love to be a friend and I’m in Wisconsin as well!

[@kenyatta932]

That junk collection helps bro

[@bigcheese370]

Yo man, I’m a John Deere tech student and on the fence about buying snap on tools. My problem is what are some alternatives to things like sockets and ratchets? Maybe wrenches too possibly screw drivers. I would like to save some money if I can. The tech school offers discounts so I might buy the box but skimp out on tools. Do you have suggestions.

[@ValleyCityAutoYT]

Dm me on my IG.

[@richardbates2367]

Milwaukee..john deere has their own line also..

[@Yonny316]

@@richardbates2367 yea john deere is just rebranded snap on for cheaper.

Did you listen when he said words? Because it sounds like you didn't.

[@the_mech7743]

Yo, I'll go ahead and admit it, I'm commenting only 6 minutes in. But I watched the first box tour vid earlier today, and this just came up on my recommended page. And the first thing I'm noticing, is you just don't give a fuck compared to the first video. But in a way that makes it slightly more entertaining

Why is your toolbox name plate say matt smith?
