He MAXED out his Student Discounts right out of High School (Heavy Diesel)

Teak may be young, but I can see such a bright future ahead of him. At only 19 years old, his tool setup rivals many seasoned techs in the field. He took full advantage of his SEP discounts and never looked back. I love these tours because these are the guys that will be paving the industry for the next 30 or 40 years. Teak, thank you so much for inviting me out! If you enjoyed the tour Teak took us on, give this video a Like!

Best of luck to him. Sounds like he got a pretty good deal. I'm retired now but when I was an apprentice the guys I worked with used to buy me some tools each month to help set me up. I still have them and my toolboxes now.

[@hophole]

They seem like great guys, over the pond here we have to buy our own and it’s difficult being on a poor wage

[@ToolBoxTour]

I’ve heard of people giving away tools to help people starting out. It happens but not super common. I wish more seasoned techs did it. It goes a long way.

[@JarradDumps-fk3ws]

​@@ToolBoxTourthat's my plan I have my home set and my work set when I retire I will donate my full 40k work set up to a up coming tech ! I can't use it when I'm dead 😎

[@Cristodeterror]

I appreciate my dad for his original sears craftsmans, the 36mm is my favorite hammer

[@iankerr1549]

My buddies did the same for me and I’m grateful for them. It’s insane the amount of tools I have now. Almost done buying tools, almost.

[@fieldfabmetal]

Teak and his friend buying 3/8" and 1/4" torque wrench sets and then swapping each other so they both have one of each is genius! Good on him for taking advantage of deals and managing his gear. I still like pneumatic tools myself. Nothing better than an air hammer or an air saw when you need one.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Absolutely! Some air tools are still indispensable.

[@camshaftP16]

Good to see the tool trucks giving price breaks to these young people starting out. The industry needs these people as so many of us older guys are finished, they will always be in demand. He is doing really well for a young Tech starting out.

[@gl9500]

Kinda like a drug dealer the first hit is free.......

Yeah it speaks volumes to help techs that are just starting out

I have pretty much stopped watching "tool box tour" videos..... except yours..... yours are exceptional because you not only highlight the tools.... but you showcase some really great people..... Thank you!! Offer still stands for you to tour mine in Texas.....

[@vinaypal2037]

Great to see hardworking young men. Wishing you all the best in future.

[@randysmith9636]

Snap on line wrenches are the best on the market. They are thick, heavy and do not flex or spread. My sets are around 45 years old and have never let me down. Thanks for the video brother. I am enjoying your tool box tours. My first video was the man with the tank setting in the shop. Edit to add: Matco, while it is rebranded tools, they do have many tools built to their specs. Some are only available through a Matco dealer. I have a few Matco tools that are not available anywhere else. The Mac RBRT was only available through the Mac dealer, although they didn't make them. Now that the Mac contract has expired Grip edge (original manufacturer) is offering them under their name.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks for sharing Randy! I have some older snap on tools that get used regularly.

[@robertkiell]

not anymore.. mac tools rbrt wrenches are far better and i call them knuckle savers

One of the highlights of my Saturdays as well 👍🏻

[@ToolBoxTour]

I'm glad you guys enjoy the content!

[@J.G361]

Nothing wrong with investing in your career with quality tools!

[@smashyrashy]

There is a difference between quality and overpriced and snap on is only sometimes both but always overpriced

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

@@smashyrashy i agree with you snap on seems to be using that as its "thing" oh were worth it so shell out 550.00 for a single 1/2' drive impact set its totally worth it blah blah blah. listen i bash snap on because they seem very predatory with their business plan lately but buying smaller things and making a few small payments to have them is a nice little thing but yeah snap on is deff. pushing the mentality its worth it shelll out that money

[@boosted2.4_sky]

7:22.. I've had those Pittsburgh long-reach hose pliers for about 8 or 10 years. They're really good. They're CrMo, and they've served me well for a long time. Never felt like I needed to replace them..... 24:28.. I would have told him no, I'm not joking. "Lifetime" means for life, right?....

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah I also have those pliers. The grips fell off a while ago, but they still work great.

[@baileydillon3331]

Good for him, hope he makes it far that’s awesome

[@ToolBoxTour]

I’m sure he will. Started there at 14 pushing a broom and is working his way up. 🤘

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

the most i've ever used e-torx on in diesel work/Maintenace. i use the e torx for the freightliner one boxes bolts for the DEF Doser (unbolting the Doser form the side of the one box) and the top bolts of a steering box on the freightliners to replace the seal on the input shaft. but still needed bu thats why i dont spend the dumb money on snap on e trox, i use them here and there no need

I still use a speed wrench every day for putting trans pan back on mainly the ones that use cork or rubber gasket i eant to get like a super low torque electric bit driver or screw driver thing to speed it up a little then go back over them by hand

[@Josh-jh6tl]

I am glad I came across this channel now as someone going to school right now to become a mechanic and having a dream to own my shop down the road this would help a lot to get stuff and not be super in debt while doing that.

That Icon ratchet is adorable. It would be better as a 3/8 in the same body.

Why does Snap On take advantage of people so bad! No way a 1/4 Rachet is worth 200! I been a mechanic for 37 years and I have Some Snap On, but would never pay their prices, just to say, Most of what I have is Snap On! Gearwrench, Capri, Sunex and others last just as long and you don’t have payments for 25 years!

[@_P0tat07_]

It doesnt really matter how much the tools cost. Cause you have them to make you money. They pay for themselves.

[@fishingmontana1564]

I agree with you but if you have a consistent dealer they can fix it for free so if you don't lose it I am sure you can get your 200 out of it or down to a reasonable price but new tools are just as good and warranty is just as good

[@michaelford2975]

Just like every store, I only buy when things go on clearance. Last month my dealer had all ratchets 50% off.

[@MitchGaar]

@@_P0tat07_ not when you pay 5 times as much for a tool that a cheaper brand would do the job! Doesn’t make sense to spend all your money on Snap On!

It is painful watching all of these and seeing how many people are out there just getting HOUSED by the snap on truck. I'm sorry your skilled trade makes you guys pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Its only a problem if you buy new not on promo off truck. If your smart you can pretty easily break even if not profit selling them later.

[@mikenormandy9250]

Man, even these “student programs” are a racket for these traveling tool thieves! Looks like he got ‘sold’ on his “student program” thinking it’s a “deal” 😂 but he does have a sweet setup even if he’s paying $20/week for life - the meme where the snap on salesman is at the mechanics funeral with his family, they’re all in black as the passed mechanic gets lowered into the ground and the snap on guy standing in the background with his clipboard and CC swiping machine like “hey, got anything for me this week?!?”

[@justinrichards1660]

Speaking of the Icon ratchets.. I came across a short of someone that found a complete socket/ratchet set off Amazon with 2 ratchets for $10 cheaper than the Icon standard hard handle 3/8” ratchet. It’s literally the exact same thing with the SAME part number on it.. As much as I get why people are going Icon they are ripping people off on some things lol. Kinda like Matco rebranding tools all over the board.. Love the channel though as I’m a complete and utter tool whore that’s gotten back into wrenching again. Needless to say my Snap-On bill is going up weekly and he hasn’t told me no yet 🤣

[@ToolBoxTour]

Haha tool whore? That makes two of us!

[@billcovert3473]

I would like to have a dollar for every Cummins NT series over head I used the Snap On 3/8 speed wrench on. Now a days it gets used for hub caps and air to air hose clamps and now and then some door screws. The cool thing with the speed wrench is the ability to feel torque. Mine is over 50 years old, still the same as the new ones.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Love it! Thanks for sharing

[@gilleyboy2675]

If you want more info on the CAT tools they have a tool catalog PDF with all the info and part numbers. I'm sure it's online somewhere.
