Seasoned Chevy Tech Shows His Classic Setup!

[@davidmyers6478]

Danny! I worked next to this guys for 4 years and he knows his shit! Great guy. Good to see you're doing well brother! We miss you out here in CO!

[@johnrpizzaguy]

How cool, I have a couple of mechanic friends that are like brothers that I’ve worked with for over 30 years.

[@ToolBoxTour]

That’s awesome!

[@PhilRuybal]

I worked with Danny here in Denver and dude definitely had every tool needed to fix ANYTHING! Glad to see someone highlight his tool collection!

[@Vfh........y]

This guy is by far the best at explaining exactly what the tool does and he seems like he's probably one of those cool guys to work with and to talk with about mechanical stuff... we need a lot more Danny's in the world.

[@johanssonurban6097]

Great video with a real tech from the real world, Huge boxes with unused tools for 100 000 are boring. This is alot better.

[@ronc4146]

This guy dropped more golden nuggets of "been there, done that" wisdom than I think I've ever heard in one video / one place. Solid gold props. Also, really appreciated that you let him fully explain at his own pace w/o overloading with questions. Excellent, both of you.

[@craigmackay4909]

Would never get tired of listening to LS’

[@mikepappas6415]

Danny is a locked in no bullshit real mechanic. I admire that.

[@slowrvr]

Love how he gave specific examples of where he uses so many of his tools. His experience really shines through. I’ll bet a lot of the other techs learn from him

[@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc]

A true working man's box filled with the best tools for each job, regardless of brand, age, etc. Absolute gold.

[@nathankisner8332]

Danny, thank you for this tour. Perfect mix of special tools, homemade, old and new.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah his homemade tools were cool to see. Thanks for watching Nathan!

[@elcheapo5302]

This man knows his stuff. Love all the homemade tools. Astro Pneumatic makes a mid length impact swivel socket set too. Pinless, without the bulky collar and only sixty bucks or so.

[@dannymerkley7148]

I'll have to look into those.

[@E36tyler]

That homemade quick disconnect heater core hose tool is genius. Such a tight fit back there and looks like it’s just durable enough for that job while still being flexible enough to get in there.

[@Onemoretake01]

Dude's a better engineer than most of the guys building the cars. His tooling game is top

[@ryanmoyer7685]

Very cool tour. Love the "1776" customer tag hanging from his cabinet. 🇺🇲 🤘

[@ElectroAtletico]

Saturday. 12hr day shift. Drinking coffee. Watching a cool vid!

[@unwired1281]

Really liked this one. Gets what he needs and isn’t trying to be the chrome collector to have it all just to take up space.

[@TooljunkieDave5215]

Glad I have my notifications on!!! Awesome part of my Saturday morning!

[@ToolBoxTour]

🤘 thanks Dave!

[@ShalomBrother]

I like that he’s not tidied up and cleaned everything before hand!

[@JOHN-that-is-me]

I love seeing the fabricated tools. It’s so cool. That is a great setup. Great video buddy.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Glad you enjoyed it John!

[@justinhemmings-hastings1511]

Really good one today . Danny was cool

[@johnwayne2103]

I love these tool reviews, I have learned a lot more about tools I didn't even know existed.

[@warrenlee3113]

Nice video. I see a few things that I want to get. You do a great job with the toolbox video’s. Can’t wait to see the next one.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks Warren! More to come!

[@Nordman555]

Lots of ideas from this one thx

[@julianhawker7672]

Nice tour , never knew about the broken tap extractors, just ordered some, broken taps are hell to get out....... Thanks

[@hybridspl]

Love the insider tips and tricks. Should add that to all your vids

[@ShawnWing-t1o]

I love this channel. It gives me so many ideas or shows stuff i didnt know about and might want. But also the topic of having your stuff stolen. Thats something i never really thought about.

[@potatoboy792]

This is why I love watching these videos, was taking some DEF lines off today and was thinking "Man there must be a tool to make this easier" cause after the 3rd try and fail taking those little clips off they really start to dig into your fingers.

[@ToolBoxTour]

They can be a life saver!

[@johnrpizzaguy]

I’ve been a master tech for over 40 years. I couldn’t even imagine working on GM products everyday. “Comfort Zone “ Great video. Wrench On!!!!!

[@LouisCapps-p3z]

I am a Toyota specialist.

[@joruckus]

Anyone that still uses Ingersoll Rand, I take very seriously as a tech. Such a great setup. BTW - Sunex has deep universal sockets, aka wobblies, lol. I have them. I'm super happy with them. Thanks for the video 👍

[@ToolBoxTour]

IR all day! I believe he was referring to 1/4” deep impact 👍

[@joruckus]

@ToolBoxTour Ah, yeah. Sunex unfortunately only has them in 3/8 and 1/2. Don't know why that's a rare set. If anything, I would need universals more in smaller/tighter applications.

[@mikedavidson2117]

Good morning Dan another interesting tour I use to be a GM Tech it brought back memories

[@ToolBoxTour]

Very cool.

[@AKChryslertech]

I know the tool he is talking about with the gm heater hoses for the heater cores. His idea is perfect for that, I struggled more than I care to admit when I did one of those for the first time. I have never seen the actual tool on the trucks unless someone ordered one.

[@andrewr6861]

Most of my Gray Pneumatic wobble sockets have lasted 10+ years with daily use, I broke the 1/2 16mm twice. I love seeing tools others have made for special purposes.

[@coreymartin-wk1fi]

Nice guy and a Great cart setup! Only the stuff you need in your day to day.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah he had that thing loaded! But I bet he can do 80% of everything he does from the top of his cart.

[@LuaPYT]

27:12 typicaly is a lineman socket. I start by buying a large 1/2" drive one and I'll mill it out to fit onto bessey clamps. That way when you dont want to ruin your shoulders and wrists you can use an impact to drive whatever with your impact and not your body.

[@fredtflail]

The straight xmas tree remover is a god send, along with the 90 degree with the narrow opening.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah I hadn’t seen that before!

[@mikemata623]

He said measure the same way Dave from Dave's Auto says it. Instantly knew where you guys are from.

[@DownHillgamer]

Lol I love Dave, I work in an automotive machine shop too, but the equipment and machines Dave has is on another level. Would love to work there for a while, like that new wet abrasive blast cabinet they got I would love to have at my shop

[@gregblau8082]

Funny I watched Dave for the first time today. Seems like a very honest dude

[@randysmith9636]

Thanks for another great video brother.

[@ToolBoxTour]

My pleasure Randy! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@DavesWorld76]

Those impact deep wobbly sockets are so amazing. I inherited a set and can't believe how much I use them. My snap on guy never saw them before either.

[@PineBarrensSurvivor]

Great video. I'm a new subscriber and every time i watch it costs me money 😂 Keep em coming. Any plans for body shop tool box tours?

[@ToolBoxTour]

I’ve been to a couple body shops and I’m sure I’ll be to more. Thanks for watching!

[@tj5743]

That was a good video. I would like to know where he got that extra long bearing race driver. I could see that coming in real handy.

[@ToolBoxTour]

I believe that’s snap on

[@javierosorio5169]

Thank you Sir. Another awesome video.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks Javier!

[@deanl2427]

Thank you Danny for a great tour! As an ex Oldsmobile mechanic, I really enjoyed the brand specific speciality tool info. Great set of tools here, and they look used, unlike some other extreme tours. LOL I pretty much only own a bunch of Ford trucks, so if you could do a Ford truck mechanic tour, with all of the brand specialty tool info, that would be awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@38skippers]

Great review...🇦🇺 Australia

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks for watching from Australia!

[@gregblau8082]

Great tour. Those harbor freight lights are great and I have bad luck with expensive ones. I've had that gateway problem on a Maserati (Chrysler) and had to get a bypass connector that was about $30 so we didn't have to pay their subscription

[@ToolBoxTour]

$30 isn’t bad to get around that 👍

[@warrenblanchard889]

Awsome setup I recently bought Blackhawk deep impact swivel sockets there great so far

[@RobNitz]

Great video. I got bummed out when you didn't post a video for a week. I agree with the sizes he has out. Must not do a lot of brakes. Lol Equinox caliper bracket bolts are 17mm Older Malibu/olds Cutlass caliper bolts are 12mm Gmt800 platform caliper bolts are 19mm. But yet again I'm the guy who doesn't mind brakes. Keep up your videos when I get my organization down maybe you can shoot my box

[@craigmackay4909]

Ko-Ken do impact hex bits in 3/8 and 1/2” . Would never get tired of listening to LS’

[@federalagent7334]

Bro is keeping the Snap-on dealer's kid's 2nd house paid off.

[@dbstelly]

I don’t remember what car show it was but they were working brand new Lamborghini that I just gotten off the boat. When they popped the hood, there was a brass hammer that looked like it was 50 years old. There wasn’t much of it left, but it looks so cool and vintage.

[@ianstrying76]

danny has a nice setup.

[@ToddMcDonald-zh4ym]

Gray tools are underrated and have decent quality.

[@anthonycarrieri1276]

Did you notice that little tool box with the handle in the lower right side drawer is the same one you asked about in your resent video on the truck tool tour.

[@marko11kram]

very impressive set up

[@ToolBoxTour]

I agree 👍

[@Ninersfanatic79]

[@blakechinn5792]

[@boosted2.4_sky]

7:22.. get the wire racks..much better ARES and alot of Amazon brands have em

[@Toolaholic7]

The scan tools,have to pay Chrysler for computer info 2016 and up.The other option is buy a bypass cable to get through without paying for the info once a year.Those transmission line fitting clips,I save them too.Once in a while you will lose them removing them.Those flare nut sockets are a copy of the Koken design.Koken had a patent on them and came out with them first.Snap On copied it after the patent ran out.Spring Tools makes that Snap On spring loaded punch and chisel set

[@bleachinuri]

Not info Access, the gateways are locked so people can't hack into the computers. In 2014 a group of hackers hacked into a jeep and took complete control of it while driving down the road, it's for security not to rip off mechanics, the same way you need an LSID to make keys nowadays

[@bricegraham8256]

EEEEEEE I have the US General 6 drawer service cart and I love it so much. Also when you said chevy and his classic setup. Its funny cause the Chevy dealership near me is called Classic Chevrolet. Its been there forever. It used to be called Bill Heard back in the day. For some odd reason everytime i go to get a part from Classic Chevrolet I always feel nostalgic. GM just has a nostalgic feel to them and I dont know why. And I like Ford better. Mainly for nostalgia and my Mazda is technically Ford.

[@elipeppin1916]

As a gm tech as well it’s so cool to see and know what he’s talking about. Has anyone found any super strong t50 torx? I’m constantly braking mine on a steering wheel recall I have a blue point one and a couple impact rated ones but they all break.

[@nathankisner8332]

Same. Gearwrech all broken. Have you tried the gold Snap On? Ive had good luck with Wright 3/4 drive hex when everything else breaks. They might make strong torx.

[@Weltap]

Snap-On gold or "Heavy Duty" line seem to be the best. They still break though

[@robinsonsmotorcycleandauto3929]

Vim ones will likely be what you want. One piece and super strong

[@cblack1863]

2nd the VIM. I have Mayhew and believe they may be VIM rebranded Mayhew, but Im not 100%. Definitely go one piece either way, and stick to S2 wrather that the black chromo as they're much harder.

[@elipeppin1916]

@@nathankisner8332 I’ll definitely look into them I’ve been looking at getting the snap on gold next time I see my rep. I’m very interested by the wright ones

[@Cosby37]

I have almost same setup, I got mine sitting on 6x6 blocks to raise it to good height

[@ToolBoxTour]

Nice! Wood blocks?

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

Sunex also sells deep impact wobbly and im sure matco does as well in the adv line made by sunex

[@DownHillgamer]

Snap on has "semi deep" impact wobbles, i got a few, they are almost as deep as a regular deep, thought thats what it eas at first (edit) they also have deeps now, not sure when he was looking or what but they exist now.

[@xridiculasme]

Matco has deep swivels too and they’re reasonably priced. Got mine at school w my 50 percent discount for $160

[@LouisCapps-p3z]

How did they break into the shop to get to the boxes? Don't they have security locks on the doors?

[@nathankisner8332]

@@LouisCapps-p3z Ive seen them drive a truck through bay doors, use a torch to cut through the door, break a window and get inside, get key code off service truck door and order the key, take the entire truck, pry the doors straight off, come back 6 months latter after insurance replaces everything and hit em again, take 2 prybars out the side of a cart and pry top drawers of roll cabs open. Use shop forklift to load all boxes into van.

Crazy. The shop where I had all my equipment at also got broken into. They left most of my tools etc but they took a lot of my contracting equipment etc.
