Traded His SNAP-ON Box For MAC!

Brandon is a Toyota technician with years of automotive experience behind him. Having worked for GM, Hyundai, Kia, and other makes, he is incredibly well rounded and very accomplished. I loved seeing tools that he got from his father as well as the tools he received being a father himself. Nothing beats the sentiment you get from knowing the tools came from someone special. Brandon is quite the busy individual, so I’m so grateful he took the time out of his day to show off his tools and box(es). Thank you Brandon! If you enjoyed Brandon’s tour, give him a Like!

You should ask all these guys what they're weekly payment to the trucks are. It's not disrespectful. We all have or have had truck payments.

[@user-cn8tc2lr1c]

No need, that’s a personal question. Grown men can spend their hard earned money on whatever they like.

[@latauricewalker]

Never had a tool truck payment.. older mechanic told me to say away from tool truck payment. And buy used tools or pay right out if you can

Another sweet video. I don't know how nobody thought of this kind of channel before. Loads of us love watching toolbox tours.

I’m glad you enjoy them Matt! 👍

Nice set up.... Nice to see air tools that still get used

[@russellpottenger8584]

As I’ve said before I your toolbox tours keep getting better and better. Big improvement when you start deleting the background music. Most people don’t appreciate how much time it takes to put a good video together as you’re doing. Adding the manufactures part numbers and pricing makes it very informative. Keep up the good work my friend always looking forward to when new content comes out. 👍🏻

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks Russell, I really appreciate that! It does take a bit of time to put the videos together, but I’m glad people enjoy them. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonhoyt8232]

@@ToolBoxTour I would go so far as to say that your videos have artististic value.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Jason, thank you so much for that comment. It means a lot! Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferjelke2502]

It really doesn't matter if you use air tools or cordless. All bolts should be hand torqued regardless.

[@vexor7]

Another awesome tour, some cool specialty stuff here and another great mechanic at the helm. Keep up the great work man!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Thanks for watching!! I’m glad you enjoy the videos 🤘

[@afG585]

Got that bent one he called the “ignition ratchet” Dismantled the hinge an swapped the head the other way years ago, works great, pretty much my “go too” I’ve flipped it the other way once to access a strange angle, but tools are tools, change them/cut them/bend them/ weld them/ or in this case dismantle and fix the design

[@afG585]

17:50ish

[@ToolBoxTour]

Oh I’ve never thought about that. I bet it could come in handy the other way around

[@afG585]

As long as it’s the same tool, the hinge is only held together by a bolt, and a spring and maybe ball bearing, but other designs are likely to be swappable for a mechanic. The other way around it gives a lot of clearance to avoid things, i’ve done a lot of suspension & wheel alignments, but due to the extra length of the tool it is my most used ratchet for a long time…. Till I recently got a straight telescopic flex head. GodBless

[@joruckus]

As a Toyota guy, I love seeing other Toyota Tech's boxes. Thanks for sharing!

“I bought it and forget I have it” this has already happened to me a few times. Here’s a good quote for the moment. “Only the people that are too scared to do what you’re trying to do, are the ones that are going to make fun of you.”

[@ToolBoxTour]

It’s the truth! I can’t count the number of times I bought a tool I already have 😂

[@mythcrab6047]

Loving the videos. It would be cool to see toolboxes for artists, instrument makers, gunsmiths, machinists, jewelers, etc.

Love this guy like no brand loyalty just gets the tools to do the job the tools dont look brand new i envy guys that can keep tools new clean but thus guy prob has a massive amount of knowledge i am so glad i work with two older guys that are willing to take me under their wings even if i drive them nuts sometimes i also do it on purpose

That’s a nice Mac box. It has more drawers to organize things better. The paint has held up well over the years.

[@ToolBoxTour]

Yeah it definitely held up great. He took good care of it. Thanks mark!

[@gregblau8082]

I had the same one and the amount of drawers was a big selling point, but once I got moved in I realized I needed more deep drawers. I sold it and bought another one with a layout that works better for me. It's over 20 years old and not a problem with it so far

[@alfredbernal8603]

This might be the first video on your channel where someone has a good amount of Husky. I find it can bit surprising he didn't have any Knipex pliers.

[@latauricewalker]

Right.. 60% of my tools are husky before it go to specialty tools

This guys finds some killer deals. Sweet setup.

[@puterg0d]

The red Snap-On locking pliers are Grip-Ons, made in Spain. The chrome ones are Malco Eagle Grip, made in Nebraska. Malco closed up the Eagle Grip shop though, so those "new" Snap-On locking pliers are no longer available. Really sucks that Eagle Grips are gone, as they really are the best locking pliers, period.

[@i000iii0i0i]

Make sure you blast it all on with air so it’s torqued so you don’t have to use a torque wrench. Science.

[@BustedKnucklesGarage1]

I just might have to pick up a magnetic 8mm for the recall he’s talking about. Would be very helpful and a peace of mind so you don’t loose the 3 bolts

[@james5274]

Loved this one. You can tell Brandon loves being a tech and loves his tools. It's funny sometimes a dude who has been flat rate for so long will rush through every thing in life bc you just get so used to racing the clock, Brandon may be in this category 🤣 awesome dude tho, awesome video as always. Thanks!

[@buffystclair9042]

Years ago a friend in a transmission shop traded his snap on box for a Mac box, while transferring tools over he placed all his air tools in one of the lower chest big drawers. It proved to be too much for the Mac box , slides broke off there welds . He didn’t even get one day of use. I stand on the lower drawer of my snap on box because I’m short and can’t see the top. 225 lbs plus tools

You need the original boxes as nothing is labelled

[@redmesa2975]

If you’re using an impact, battery or pneumatic you’re not “torquing “.

Great tools, but would drive me mad opening a drawer and opening and moving things to get 1 tool. Not that my tools are organised

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

If the impact was "too loud" I hope the dealership was the one to pay for it.

Good video. The best tool boxes that I have were purchased at Harbor Freight. They are much heavier built than any of the “brand name” boxes.
