One comment worthy of note. A lot of the newer imports have a gear reducted permant magnet starter motor... so when you bang on it you can very easily shatter the magnets inside. So even if you had thought about repairing the starter you now are up the proverbial Creek with out a paddle. Re-man starter 100-300 dollars new over a thousand... brushes about $30 which are now no longer an option. So unless you are in an emergency situation DON'T BANG ON THE STARTER.

Now don’t get me wrong, snap on is amazing, that being said I only have a few snap on tools. I’m not a mechanic but i do more than the average guy, (right now I have an npi 4.6 block I’m getting ready to mate with ported PI heads, forged internals, ect) The tools I use are Gearwrench, Olsa, Tekton, Wiha, makita, Capri, ect. (Not gonna lie I have some HF stuff too) engine stand, breaker bars, a set of icon sockets, and of course the golden ratchet. I seriously think I have an addiction to shiny useful things, I order a tool or set every week. I think I’m up to 37 ratchets, 23 complete sets of sockets, 42 different pliers, 6 torque wrenches, and about 200-300 box end wrenches. Plus a lot more. But only 2 sets of screwdrivers as well. Anyways I love watching car repair videos when the guy with $40,000 worth of snap on uses the same tools I use as my main tools. Today it was your Gearwrench socket set. I have the same one except I pitched the blown molded case and threw them in my box on organizers. Actually just got another set of deep and shallow metric sockets yesterday. My point is that I would have spent $31,472.69 if I got all snap on (Or 2 dozen eggs) and I’m your average guy with bills and a family. And I’m not a pro mechanic like I said. But I am contractor so my work tools are waaaaaay over $30k. So I 100% get why you would use brands like snap on.

If you hear the click and your dash lights dim considerably, the engine might be locked up, or battery and connection problem. Rattling: check battery and connections. Click and no considerable dash lights dimming: starter issue. No click: starter or starter control circuitry: relay, neutral or brake switch, fuse. Verify with a test light. Don't use a multimeter because it might show 12Volts while there's no current capability due to bad contacts.

G’day Ray, I remember in one of your videos demonstrating that when removing a battery you should always remover the negative connector FIRST in order to PREVENT SHORTING the POSITIVE terminal to ground with the tool you are using to untighten the connectors. Then, when reconnecting the battery do the POSITIVE terminal FIRST for the same reason. I agree whole heatedly with this, however, in your videos you invariably undo the POSITIVE terminal FIRST thus not only ignoring your own advice but risking shorting the battery’s positive to ground with a metallic object that you are holding. In the interest of maintaining the dexterity of the hand in question this is something that should probably avoided.
