[@briansmith5712]

Hello sir, youve got a great channel here. I just rewatched this video to try to get a part number for your '2 quid ebay special' test light. (minute 55ish) I cannot for the life of me, find a test light that draws that kind of amperage. Can you help me out with some info on this tool. Thanks from a fan across the pond.

[@stuzman52]

Steve, that is a very impressive set of tools and test equipment! I would never thought it would take that much. But when you drive up to a vehicle with an issue, I can see that you have to be prepared for any problem. Take care Steve and don’t work too hard! 😀👍

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Many thanks Terry 👍

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

urbex 2019 flowcharts and set procedures have to be adhered to in dealerships. I know a lot of great dealer techs , better than me that are hamstrung by this. I’m lucky to be able to work outside the box. Cheers

[@dillwiggle2]

One of the best tool review videos I have seen for a long time. Great job. !

[@CubasAutomotive]

The "get me out of sh!t!" Drawer... lol. I love it! Great name!

[@breikowski]

Your missing adapter from the Christmas present is in your 3/4” drawer. Good video, I bet you really feel the corners driving that van around! Ever go over the scale, see what that package weighs? I would be interested in figuring out what it costs per pound with all those snap on tools! I’m thinking “fillet minion “ ! Cheers, mate! Going to send you a cup of coffee for sure!

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Awesome layout man. Loved it, thanks for follow up

[@ericcorse]

Thanks for doing this I was wondering about what you carried, evidently everything.

[@Mmmmgrolsch]

Didn't realise just how many tools you have in your van! Love your channel mate, all great videos and very educational. 👌

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Mmmmgrolsch thanks very much, glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

Impresive stuff...setting a high standard for mobile techs...

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Love it, your layout is very functional. Audio was a let down but it was only the first few seconds. I'm a magpie when it comes to fuses and wires. I'm always collecting them for OEM connectors

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Diddent you know all techs have fetiches for ratchets , lights , and test lights lol. Pretty similar array of diag tools that I have less some of the dedicated euro tools. Was going to get the verus but went with the autel instead due to the improved asian and euro coverage. Just got info last week on the new snap on Apollo scan tool. It the cheaper version of there Zeus tool. I use the term cheaper very loosely. I seen a new attachment for The power probe today that reduces the output voltage to 5 volts for powering 5 volt ref circuits very handy. Great tool box tour.

[@nathanburke1993]

I use my test light and a h7 primarily for load testing. But the holder youve made for the h4 certainly looks like a good heat shield

[@vdubs6068]

Great tool box tour Steve 👍

[@Happy-Me.]

Great video! Memory lane for me with all the Tech and Tools. I'm from the Points, Condenser and Carb days! Subscribed!

[@Happy-Me.]

Nice one Steve. I've really enjoyed the tour. I'm a VW fan and although only 56 have been for over 45 years as my Dad had them. I still go to the shows and keep my old 2002 Passat in beautiful condition. Cheers again!

[@luisrobertolopezalcantara540]

Wowww cuantos equipos de diagnostic bendiciones y desde hoy te sigo...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@kennypatrol2zero616]

OMG, Mechanics and their toys, what are we like, BUT you've took it to an all new level, I can't Imagine how much money you gave the Snap-on guy, But I did enjoy the video, cheers buddy keep up the good work

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Patrol 2 Zero glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for taking the time to comment 👍 Steve.

[@edmondsollaku6535]

Thanks fo the video Steve. I’ve realised that I have everything that you have there in one make or another apart from the pico and them T handle ring spanner never seen them before ,even got the ohh shit it’s raining and my soft top ain’t going up special tool, And not as many test lights no one has got as many test lights 💡

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Edmond Sollaku you get the bonus points 👍

[@akfarmboy49]

I follow your logic, i learned several a bunch of ideas, thank you.

[@thatmechanicguy8773]

Ah, Vaseline. One of the most used “tools” in my box. Can you do a video of how you started in the industry and how you progressed to where you are today?

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

The Angry Yota Tech 😂 I did touch on how I did this in one of my live videos. 👍

[@weldingjunkie]

Great video brother. The baby oil kills me in my smoker lol I always stink later. I’ve switched to mineral oil. I have the Verus edge, pico 4425, Autel Elite with maxiscope, uscope too. I want to get a power probe, and relay test kit.

[@ljm200787]

Great video and it's the emergency roof operating key for audi a4 cabriolets. Keep up the great work

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

obi wan you’re only the 2nd person to know that ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ljm200787]

Haha well 90% of the cars I do are audi so im cheating a little bit there. Only just come across your videos through my scanner danner subscription they look great.

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

obi wan glad you enjoyed them. Thanks to Paul for pointing you in my direction 👍

[@eddydar]

Hi Steve, wondering if you can help. Had galaxy 2.0 tdci parked up for a 1.5 wks drained the coolant as it had antifreeze in it. Refilled it before trying to start it and it now wont start. Came up with crank sensor fault. Replaced crank sensor and now its coming up with a glow plug fault and p0087 low fuel pressure regulator fault. Bith clear but come back again. No pressure when i crack the injectors open after cranking.

[@mrb1864]

Cheap eBay astro copy LED lights, got 2 of them myself. light output good but plastic very low quality which shame as likes of 50p on better plastic or just thicker and about 4 more screw points would of made it pretty solid and worth few quid more . Like your relay test kit, I made my own over the years but will have look into a lisle one . Love to see you mobile guys, hard enough doing it in a workshop but out in the streets in british weather takes men of men ...

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

For me they’re throwaway money. I’ve got good lamps but these were so cheap it would be daft not to buy them

[@mrb1864]

agree they throw away prices, I just found if drop them on concrete from 5ft which scenario on a lift or from on inner bonnet working with vehicle on floor the housing breaks proper easy as such brittle thin plastic which shame when only few pence would of made it little more rugged at the factory . One I prefer is the round alloy one with screw cap like torch for the 18650 cell and hinge on the light bar, astro and sealey do those but not for £7 lol . crazy cheap shipped to your door .

[@rsa6207]

Alright Ste, hope your doing well! I've just uploaded my first super quick and dirty toolbox tour vid. You've got an awesome collection their dude!

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

RSA good luck with your channel 👍

[@rsa6207]

Simply Diagnostics cheers bud, only a young gun been doing it around 4 years but keen to learn and progress. Enjoy watching your diag videos I've Done some courses with Frank Massey, watched lots of ScannerDanner stuff, got Graham Stoakes book etc etc really trying to get sound foundation of knowledge from those wiser than me

[@tcauto256]

hope u keep ur shop well secured,,,,a lot of bucks there

[@ELEISONCARABALLO]

Awesome tool review, you have everything you need when you hit the road to a vehicle with an issue. I noticed you have an excellent scope Pico 4425 (I have a 4423) and hope you upload videos using this superlative scope. Would you upload a video using this guy diagnosing a bandwidth 02 sensor in a diesel engine? Thanks for this video

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

I currently don't own a Pico. The 50hz environmental noise was a massive issue for me. I've a wideband sensor video in edit at the moment 👍glad you enjoyed the video.

[@weaponheadz4970]

great vid, another down to earth guy. you got more leads than leon!!!!

[@bradleyburdett5361]

Thank You best tour Ive seen

[@paultomasetti5164]

Do you worry about low temps in winter, or do you remove or heat electronics overnight?

[@chrishatfield4424]

amazing tools, iv just purchased the bluepoint vr probe, would be great if you could demo it as I cant find any one using it, great vids btw

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

chris hatfield I’ve got one planned 👍

[@JBTaylor86]

Wow some serious ££££ spent there buddy.... I didn’t want to watch this as I knew my shopping list would grow.🤣🤣

[@sandyande]

Cheers Steve for sharing video, that h4 bulb mounted in lid top is awesome, I'll be making one meself!!! Who did u say was the supplier of heat shrink with epoxy was it "Beale" cheers sandy

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Hi Sandy, for best quality use Wurth, for good quality everyday use I buy my consumables from Beal UK

[@sandyande]

Simply Diagnostics cheers Steve, Sandy

[@carstengotfredsen160]

Super Video Steve from Copenhagen :)

[@stephenmacarthur4144]

Hi sir were u get ur rally’s form

[@IPHATBOYCHIEFO]

Hey, On your Amazon store you have a fuel injector test tool by allsun I think 🤔. However in your video you have a sealey one. What is the difference please?

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Same thing internally, they're all just a timed PWM controller 👍

[@IPHATBOYCHIEFO]

@@SimplyDiagnostics Is that a good one or would you reccommened the sealey one as I do quite alot with injectors. Love the vids aswell. Learning new techniques from so thankyou.

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

I can't personally vouch for that model but all the various ones have the same internals that I've seen 👍

[@clark5551]

Did I miss the part where you said what your rag was soaked in to help stop the corrosion?

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Yes you did 40.43

[@clark5551]

Simply Diagnostics thanks. Great insight 👍

[@jeffshearer5125]

Simply Diagnostics what is 40.43? Sweet channel, just subbed a few days ago.

[@jeffshearer5125]

Just seen it,never heard of it.

[@Dasdembo]

@17.50 aha! Ok i get it! So when they ask you why you sweating!? You can reply " it's hot sauce! West Indian hot sauce! 😂

[@PaulOneel]

Do you think we can use the smoke pro for ac diag if we cant find it with nitrogen

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Great question, its unlikely you'll find it with smoke (there are risks involved with this - not recommended) if you can't find with OFN. Loktrace or equivalent would be my recommendation.

[@PaulOneel]

@@SimplyDiagnostics thanks!

[@kristofmikulski5576]

This is really impressive how much money you carry with you to make money mate. 👍

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

kristof mikulski that’s the bit that’s difficult to get over to people. We are possibly the only trade that has to invest this heavily to earn so little and be so undervalued by the general public.

[@kristofmikulski5576]

Undervalued... Not for us Mate Keep up the good work

[@soptea]

You must sell your van and buy an armored car :))

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Who said it's not lol

[@sherwincruz6148]

Office on wheels👍

[@garysmith9772]

I sure hope you have insurance on that if hyjacked or stolen I estimate $100,000.00 U S dollars easily!!!! Good luck good videos

[@TheOffroader7458]

Can you find otc test light in the UK .thanks

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

TheOffroader7458 no, I’ve only seen them in USA

[@miclewis55]

I've got a MacTools cylinder leak tester. .... when you add an airline connector it won't fit in the box !! Same problem as your Snap on version. WTF ?? . Used to be the sort of balls up the Chinese would make ...... The Empire is indeed in decline ;-)

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Hey Buddy! Just found your channel for the first time! I been enjoying this video very much and that facom ratchet really interest me for myself. I have seen them online for sale recently but havent seen one yet on youtube until now. MAC tools are basically rebrands of facom now, would you be able to make a video of the facom ratchet or incorporate it into a video for a little demonstration pretty please! =) I also have some tool videos on my channel up, check them out I try to get unique tools not everyone has seen or has, as ive just recently started collecting this spring. Take care! will be looking forward to your content =)!

[@andrewhutchinson5490]

That tool is for handcuffs. Did I get points

[@paultomasetti5164]

You need a harbor freight for the cheap stuff

[@harhar4607]

Excellent video. The only difference with the big boys - Keith deFazio, Eric O, Ivan, Cody etc - where are your diagnostic videos !!

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

There are plenty in there but my videos focus more on starting a conversation about what's happening and how to test. My channel is used to get folk excited about learning more and training rather than giving fixes out. Come join us on Facebook at SimplyDiag YT, you'll be welcomed 👍

[@daveevans9994]

Wow bud i hope you got lots of security cameras and lamps around your tool bo' lol . Theres some Sirius cash there and may i say well sorted . I am hoping you can look at my car . I hoping he can run his diagnostics cheep Vauxhall on it to send you . Along with my mats one . I definitely know i need a new plug on the left side fuel rail . The bent one lol . I dont know your cost . Is it ok to get you on fb.bud . Im not young nomore plus no a bent bac

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Steve you sod!! Just watched this and now I'm about to spend some more hard earned cash on tools you have just shown me. Arghhh lol

[@navanwar6446]

Hi Steve, very long but interesting and informative video. Where you based mate, need to get you up to Scotland to have a look at one of my car's. Get in touch. Nav

[@turtlezed]

You ex Ord Corps Steve?? time in EOD?

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

No mate, just a civvie

[@thomas24469]

well now you have told everyone whats on your van , i hope have got a good security system , some vans have a sticker with no power tools on this van , take you a day to get all yours off ! I WOULD BE WORRIED !

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Tom williams I have really good security 👍 but all told, locks, alarms, uv fogger, smartwater, mains, cameras, trackers , dogs and nasty surprises will only ever stop casuals.

[@thomas24469]

I WOULD BE PARKING IT INSIDE A CONTAINER , BUT KNOWING MY LUCK , THE CONTAINER WOULD BE GONE AS WELL , SOUND FUNNY BUT IT HAPEENS

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Tom, I sleep at night. The security doesn’t 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

1st boom

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

bodgit and leggit garage awesome 👍 there’s nothing from @hubitools in there yet though 😉
