The Mechanic For Millionaires (Toolbox Tour)

[@markm0000]

Man this guy keeps his stuff so clean he has at least 3 drawers full of stuff to clean the cars he’s working on. Incredible attention to detail.

[@MostGenericUser]

Yeah it's really something to aspire to. He really has to keep them clean though so he doesn't stain any of the expensive cars he works on.

[@ericculver115]

NO ONE wants to pay 200$ an hour or more to have their 500,000+$ car worked on and get it back dirty. From dome hack mechanic.

I had a friend in the mid 90’s who was a exotic car mechanic. At the time he had around 300k worth of tools. Mac made him a one off custom toolbox that was 18 feet long. He had so many special tools just for doing very specific jobs on these cars.

[@ToolBoxTour]

That would be amazing to see! Thanks for sharing.

[@twinturbo3470]

18ft long? That’s insane. Can’t imagine how much that would cost, custom is an expensive word

[@crabmansteve6844]

I love seeing non aircraft mechanics utilizing tool grid systems. Really helps. In the aircraft industry there is a process called tool control and it is taken very seriously. Every tool has to be accounted for at all times.

[@joesephkingston1621]

Really? Where?

[@hulkslayer626]

Is this for similar reasons as when performing surgery, every tool and gauze pad has to be counted and accounted for?

[@crabmansteve6844]

@@hulkslayer626 It is exactly that reason, 100%.

[@xcofcd]

If you'd know the amount of forgotten tools I've found in cars. And not only small sockets and stuff...I've found a foot long 21mm wrench under an BMW intake once. These grids ard great. I use foam inlays and the big disadvantage is the addition of new stuff or if the manufacturer changes something it doesn't fit anymore...

[@hulkslayer626]

@xcofcd Same. I do roadside assistance for AAA and I am always finding tools under people's hoods. I ask them who was the last person to go under their hood, and then let them know to being it back when they can. I know the pain of losing tools.

Really enjoyed the explanations on why Brett used some specific tools versus what might be the standard tool. Very pleasant and engaging mechanic. I can see why millionaires are comfortable having him repair and maintain their vehicles. Great toolbox tour! Thanks for sharing.

[@ToolBoxTour]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙋‍♂️

[@andrewwolf4430]

When I was a mechanic most of the other mechanics would make fun of me because I kept my area clean and organized. Usually when I started working at a new shop I’d spend a couple of days cleaning my stall and adding lights. Made a lot more money than the other mechanics who spent their time looking for their own tools

[@MidwestToolReview]

Great tour!! I appreciate how you appear interested in every type of tool. You always allow the interviewee to explain and share their opinions on their setup, versus overstepping them as they perform the walk-thru.

[@ToolBoxTour]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonhoyt8232]

I agree! He's like the Joe Rogan of the toolbox world!

[@wewrench]

You can tell by his appearance and equipment that he’s a cut above the rest. Great video!

[@mariomunoz525]

sign of a true car guy right there! buys tools he might never need just cause they look cool 😆 this is why we are always broke

[@wolfseek]

[@josephnavarro3620]

I've seen a lot of tool box videos but the way this guy's is organized and the color matching makes this my favorite. If I was this guy I would never get any work done, I'd just be looking at my tools. I probably wouldn't want to get them dirty either.

[@cadenbecker2952]

I like how this guy is so commited to his kermit green so he cant loose things in engine bays, really smart, finding that toolbox in the bay when the lights go off would be tough.

[@ghostwrench2292]

The truth is chrome tools are just as easy to find in engine bays as well and they have the advantage of the thinner handles for when you’re working in tight engine compartments. I imagine a mid engine car like Mclaren would have pretty tight engine compartments. I like the feel of those colored, comfort handle tools but as far as ratchets are concerned, I prefer the functionality of regular chrome handles. On my 24” long, 1/2” drive ratchet that is unlikely to be used in tight areas, I did buy that that one with a comfort handle. Orange is my color choice for handles.

[@Tarakasper1012]

Love how he works on Millionaire cars, but has tools from harbor freight and etc..., it not all snap on prices

[@fhills76]

This without doubt your best tour so far....just love this box,,keep up the great work

[@ToolBoxTour]

Wow, thank you!

[@JackSepticTank-uw5vg]

This is the cleanest mechanic’s toolbox that I’ve ever seen.

[@Lucky_Logan]

This dudes collection is my goals. Black and green everything. Honestly, I love working in this field but working at the everyday car dealership like Chevrolet/Cadillac, there is just so many customers that come through our dealership it’s never a quiet day. I usually touch about 12-14 average a day. If I didn’t have to touch so many cars I would probably enjoy my job more but for now I just gotta deal with it. I’m hoping to sometime join these higher end shops because I think that I would be a better fit for these higher end cars because I’m more detail orientated, like taking my time and doing the job right. But always being hounded to go quick, you can never get quick and 100% accuracy both at the same time. Honestly, I would LOVE to work for Mclaren or Lamborghini, mainly Mclaren, I need to make me some friends who work at Mclaren dealerships maybe they can help me out and give me some advice to guide me on the path I need to be. I hate having a dirty work bay or lift, like out of the 4 of us in just our building (we have 1 giant shop and 1 little shop, I’m in the little shop) I sweep, mop, blow out my bay floor, lift, behind/under my tool box. I clean the tire machine and tire balancer area, (because no one else fucking does it and they just throw the trash and old weights on the floor or just deliberately miss the trash bucket and don’t pick it up, etc.) but I don’t touch or even try to clean the other techs on either side of me because they don’t clean up after themselves so why would I? But you can see which bay is mine, all the green stuff (black tool box, green 5 drawer tool cart, green Jack, green Jack stands) EVERYTHING has a spot I’m talking about tools, all of my tools, sockets, extensions, wrenches, ratchets, etc….. have their spot, and they MUST go back in those spots or I go insane. Im so OCD about things going back where they were or belong, even my jack, stands, mighty vac, oil drain etc. have specific spots, and when someone else uses my stuff and doesn’t put it back where it belongs or just leaves it in their own bay and doesn’t return it, I get super aggravated, anytime I use someone else’s tool because mine broke or lost I put it back exactly where it was or grabbed from OR I will set it on their toolbox and tell them "hey, I don’t know where it goes so I put it on top of your toolbox so you can put it back in the same spot." They will usually tell me to just throw it in a drawer and I just say "nah, I’ll let you do it, I’m not like that." Lmao.

[@elijaah81]

If you like this type of work then look into getting your A&P. Working on airplanes is alot cleaner and easier. Pays more too. Just gotta get certified is all

[@jcoul1sc]

These are not cars though like how we the mass market have cars. Its likely most of them are company owned and are actually leased. The person then gets to drive them while employed there. Other cars that are daily driven will be in the minority as even rich know the value of money. There will be the super low mileage mclarens purchased as investments.

[@adamk8376]

Just recently came across your channel and I am loving it. My grandfather was a master diesel tech for Penskee back in the 70s and I was recently given a lot of his tools that m father had Just a first-time homeowner with a small 5-drawer cart from HF but these are not only giving me ideas for how I want to slowly expand for home DIY and being a shade tree YT mechanic. But they also let me feel a little closer to my grandfather. Even when he couldn't walk out to his carport anymore he still knew the EXACT drawer and spot a certain tool was in when letting me use them. Keep up the good work my man.

[@ToolBoxTour]

I’m glad you enjoy the channel Adam. It really is something else to have the tools that someone once used day in and day out to make a living from. All the hours that those tools were used really hits home the sentimental value. Thanks for watching!

[@sugarskulllyfe5890]

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

Wish more people and techs were like this guy. They have pride in what they are doing even if its just a "normal" car No one takes care of anything anymore. These cars are well cared for and respected, I treat my cars like a super car and they last.

[@rschreck876]

Hell yeah! I have the Matco foam dart gun! I think I need the squirt gun now.

[@prairiefarmer5994]

It's refreshing to see a mechanic at the, at least in my opinion, top of the mechanic food chain using a mix of tools and not a $200,000 setup straight from the Snap On truck. A lot of guys think to be a master mechanic you need to have all the expensive tools, and he's a good example that you need them where you need them, but most tools you don't need it. Makes me feel good about my mix of Tekton, Gearwrench, Icon, Irwin, Channelock, Knipex, and so on.

Holy smokes man!!! This dudes boxes are PREMIUM BADASS TO THE POWER OF 150 🤩🙌🤯❤️❤️. I am not gonna lie I sat here watching this video drooling and chubbed the entire time! This is dream level tool box organization and looks! Now I’m going to do as much to mine like this style. Can’t afford the brand truck tools but for me I’m starting to add to my dads older tools sets which is mainly Crafstman from the 70’s/80’s/90’s with me adding the newer ICON from Harbor. They shamelessly copy everything from Snapon it for me it’s more than enough quality. I am having tons of fun building my huge 2 tier rolling Craftsman chest that my son bought me for Father’s Day and rolling cart and because I have 2 sons and they work on their cars so they get excited every time I add to the collection. I have added just about every Milwaukee M18 wrench and gun and in the M12 collection. It’s always an exciting day when I show at home with Milwaukee boxes under my arms and bags from Harbor 🤩. Very cool video! Organization GOALS, baby! 🤩🙌🇺🇸
