He Buys TONS of Awesome Tools

Eddie was one of the most accommodating guests I've had on this channel. The shop was easily the quietest dealership I've ever been to, thanks to Eddie! What a SETUP!! We have two things in common. We love tools. AND we sometimes buy tools for absolutely NO REASON! I love his philosophy on buying cheap tools to test out his liking of them before spending good money on higher quality tools. Thank you so much Eddie! It was a ton of fun hanging out with you and talking tools for a couple hours. If you enjoyed the tour Eddie took us on, give this video a Like!

Much respect to this guy for different tools for inside and outside of vehicle. Never could stand when mechanics would use greasy tools on my interior. That Honda dealership is lucky to have this guy. Not every employee these days has respect for a businesses customers.

[@ALi3___]

Gotta say, when he was going over the screwdrivers and finally got to, "The only ones you'll ever need." at 29:09. was pumped to know I made a good choice getting the Vessel Impactas. I absolutely love mine and recommend them to anyone. They fit so well a horizontal screw will hold up the weight of the screwdriver if you let go.

Yeah it sucks that you get punished for doing the more technical work under flat rate.

[@alpham777]

Yep lol. .5 book or 18.0 book I get paid the same if I beat it or not. I really feel bad for the new flat rate guys it's a damn struggle to get to the point that system really benefits you. If ever. Only downside is everything is heavy as hell lol.

[@2chipped]

Eddie has a nice collection, however his experience and charisma was better than the tool show! His mantra of buying it cheap first,and if used buy the good stuff was great advice. Also having worked at an independent shop in the 90s, I noticed all the older never used tools. Timing light,clutch alignment, and the dang robo wrench...I lol'ed on that one.

I almost made it through the entire video then he pulled out that Astro Cup. Lol Why is nothing magnetic anymore? Lol It’s insane how many magnetic lights I have (and Yes, I am a former Honda tech). It’s even more ridiculous when I need them in specific locations, there’s nothing nearby that will hold them. Thank you!

[@yosmith1]

These are always great!

[@noahschaeren6403]

As a Mercedes Mechanic from Europe these Videos are really interesting. Over here the norm is for the Dealership to provide all of the tools you will need. The idea that you have to put up a big chunk of your own money is strange to me. Here the financial burden is on the company. Its also an upside if you change from one shop with a specific car brand to another, then you leave your tools at your old shop and at your new workplace they will already have the tools specific to the cars of that brand Maybe someone has some insights into the US system Its interesting to me to see the differences

[@EdwinHofeling-nn2ep]

Maybe it’s time to move to Europe!

[@Bobbaabuilda]

Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and some European countries provide tools. Seems to be more professional in other countries. I’ve seen videos of German and Japanese technicians stretching and warming up as a group, prior to starting the work day. Helps reduce injuries and strengthens the team mentality!

[@bluegrassman3040]

@@BobbaabuildaI work for a Japanese automaker here in the US and we always do stretching before we start building. It does help you when you’re doing repetitive assembly work.

Great video and great guy. However in regards to the milwaukee battery straps, the batteries are designed to wobble, so the impact shock doesn't directly go to the battery and cause premature wear.

To all those people on the screwdriver quest, dont go on the truck and drop upwards of $300 just get vessel they have best fitment, have had them all, can get megadoras and even JIS striking handles. You can get a set for under $80, Know need to waste money on tool truck screwdrivers. Know when to pick and choose items

[@ibookgeek01]

Good to see JDTCo out in the wild

[@roninbushito]

Me too I sometimes buy Snap-on tools for no good reason and I use them at home. Got a new roll cab for a decent price. Got some japanese tools such as KTC and Vessel for JIS/ISO standard screws. Vessel impacta is a must for those stubborn honda brake rotor screw. Hondas use KTC as oem trim tools and other mechanical tools.

[@victorhoyt4352]

You should just sell all those sets and buy yourself the 8 piece Vessel Megadora set in foam. Its under $80 and are some of the nicest, and most high quality screwdrivers that money can buy. There's just no reason to keep all of those sets, especially until you retire. Thats crazy. Sell them and get paid, plus make room in the box. I feel like holding onto all those sets is a flex 💪 at this point lol

[@flyingswallow3586]

Don’t really understand investing heavily in screwdrivers. The one set I did buy collects dust. Hardly ever have a desire to drive a Philips screw by hand, and if I do generally even the cheapest Chinese crap will do fine. And if I’m ever using a flat it’s usually cause I’m too lazy to get out the pry bar.

[@TheMasterHackUS]

I love the videos, my wallet hates them!!!

[@jwilkers1]

at 50:24 I hated my Icon light, the strong detents and extra long body of the light meant that it had tons of leverage on an already meh magnet which meant it got knocked down a lot in the short time of having it and it was going to have a short life with all those drops from just bumping it, having to cycle through all of the modes each time was ridiculous since my cheaper black Icon light remembered which setting it had used last. The UV light was mid level at best certainly much better rechargeable options out there for less than $20. The black Icon light when modified to face the right direction (10 min mod) is by far a better light and for less money. Hell the Braun has a fantastic magnet and easily swappable battery for all day use. I really wanted the red Icon light to be awesome it just wasn't
