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.

[@mayankrana7324]

So it's a regular mechanic shop😂😂.....

[@al-aminhussain8052]

[@Idahoprepper71]

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

[@gtcam723]

That would be neat to see!

[@gregblau8082]

Always nice to see someone that takes that much pride in their work

[@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

[@Federico-ms5pn]

Definitely not flat rate. This was alway my dream to work on super cars and over the years the dealership grind pushed me to hate working on cars. this guy has got it going on.

[@ihavethedocuments2580]

2 million dollars a car. Yeah, work with due care. I'm sure he has been trained exceptionally well.

[@StephenMitchell-ov7ln]

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 🙋‍♂️

[@Tarakasper1012]

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

[@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.

[@JackSepticTank-uw5vg]

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

[@BellaRocko]

I was waiting for a video like this! Brett is top notch and awesome! He takes great care in his work and great pride in what he does. I like that he loves to have fun too...keeping things fun and relaxed! Seems like a great guy to work with. Thanks for sharing.

The last people you wanna work for is rich people. The most pleasant people I have found to work for is other blue collar folks like myself. The only people that ever give me tips are middle class folks. Anyway good luck and I like how clean you keep your stuff I got the snapon 68” epiq and I keep it spotless

[@ghostwrench2292]

I’m tending to agree with you here. I installed oil pump gears and camshafts on an HVAC tech’s Mustang with the Coyote engine. He tipped me $100. I work in a performance shop now after 15 years in dealerships. At the dealers, tips are few and far between because most customers only go to dealers for warranty repairs on their 4 wheeled appliance. They don’t give 2 shits about there as long as it drives. Customers at performance shops love their cars and appreciate the work we do.

[@exodusjr999]

love the green setup

[@CR-xv8wm]

Much respect for this guy. He treats customers’ cars like they are his own. Sadly, that’s hard to find these days. Which Mclaren dealer is he at for future reference?

[@ToolBoxTour]

I unfortunately don’t divulge the location of any of the toolboxes I feature on this channel. It’s up to them they’d like to chime in 👍

You know this guy works on clean nice cars my box and tools are covered in all the fluid..

[@corey5109]

I never worked in a shop like that. Dealers I worked at were dungeons.

[@eringame4171]

I colorfill my tools by crudely filling them with a paint marker and then wiping them down lightly. It takes off all the excess paint and leaves the low spots colored and takes 10 seconds, not to mention that it looks better. Filling them with a brush is insane. Seems like a cool guy with cool tools, though.

[@edwardmerida3252]

I had that same shirt when working at McLaren. Fun times. But I enjoyed working at Porsche better. Although both were pretty easy to troubleshoot issues. Left the industry to pursue another career. I was just done with it.

[@07BSPtC]

These tours have me convinced to get a real box. My current box has no space and was just basic.

As far as painting the ratchets easiest way is to pour a small amount of paint over the recessed lettering and just wipe it off with a card.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Good tip! 👍

[@ghostwrench2292]

I’ve seen that technique used on guns too. My opinion on doing that to tools is the same as it is for guns. I’ll keep my opinion on that to myself though.

[@alpham777]

@@ghostwrench2292 Yeah I’ve seen it done there too. But I actually learned the technique watching a “how bowling balls are made” video like 20 years ago I think. It’s one of those things you never forget and the first time you do it in front of people you feel like a god lol.

Does mclaren provide them with those mclaren specific tools? Or they gotta buy um?

Good question! We’ll have to see if the owner chimes in on that one ☝️

[@brettrudin7991]

Like most manufacturers the mclaren specialty tools are provided by the dealership. We have a whole room that's dedicated to mclaren/Koenigsegg specialty tools

[@ghostwrench2292]

Dealers are required by most manufacturers to have brand specific tools for the technicians to repair their vehicles. I worked at a Ford dealership with about 60 techs and although the dealer had all the special tools we needed, many techs bought their own to have. The time wasted stopping work to go check out a tool, or more commonly, wait for the tech who is using it to finish with it, it just made sense for us to buy the tool for our own use.

[@lazzyrj1]

I apologize to all of the Matco fan-boys, but Matco doesn't make anything. They have absolutely no manufacturing plants whatsoever. they design some tools in-house like their toolboxes & ratchets. EG; they design their ratchets, from the finishes to the handles, but they are manufactured by someone else. Other tools they might make subtle changes & call it their own. They are really good at buying someone else's tools and designs and putting their name brand on them.
