So what tools do i use to fix Toyota and Lexus at my shop? In this video I give you a full tour of the blue tool box that you've seen since day one on the channel.
I am somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to tools and one of those mechanics that believe tools are one of the means to fix cars. Knowledge and experience plays a larger role.
These tools took over a decade to accumulate and are used daily in my Toyota and Lexus specialist shop.
If you are a mechanic just starting out in the field, focus on the tools you need rather than the tools that will impress the mechanics you work with. You don't have a spend a small fortune on tools. Buy what you need and little by little you'll have a full set that will last you a life time.
If you are a DIY mechanic some of the more expensive tools will not make sense because you won't have the use for them, however invest in quality basic tools that will last you a life time as well.
The most important thing about tools is the warranty they carry. In the past life time warranty used to be reserved for the professional tools however lately many companies are offering quality tools with life time warranty at an affordable price that makes sense for DIY mechanics.

I’m a firm believer in the saying, “To do the job right you need the right kind of tools”. I finally own a home with a real garage and have been slowly putting together my own tool set. I have still a long ways to go but having the right tools in hand saves so much time and effort but I also agree with your advice at the end. Invest in your education and that’s why I invest my time in watching your channel so I can educate myself as well. 😊

The long awaited Blue Box of Goodness! Add: You may find some benefit for these, I'm mostly a slow wrench/occasional air guy as I work on family stuff so time isn't usually the issue, but the father-in-law has ramped head first into electric tools and has batteries from several different brands. I came across battery adapters over the holidays that he's gone ape over. The one's I've seen specifically adapt one make to another so they're not universal in that sense, but if you're going from Dewalt to Milwaukee for instance, or Makita to Ryobi, they're definitely wallet savers as the tools are practically free versus replacing the battery systems.

This is where I got some of my skills from. Yes Milwaukee battery operated tools are one of the best. My older son is an elevator mechanic here in NYC and he is in local union one and all his tools are Milwaukee. He loves them. Loved how organized your drawers are. Smart to use the top drawers for your commonly used tools. Surprised no P Touch labels on them, I guess you don’t need since you’re using them everyday. Awesome video.

I always had a mechanical mindset. No idea where it came from. I played with hot wheels and puzzles when i was a kid. Then started working on my a go-cart at age 9 or 10. Then fixed my parents lawnmower at age 12. Bought my first motorcycle at age 14 and worked on it. Bought first car at age 16 for $200 bucks. Rebuilt the carburetor, brakes, and tune-up. Worked at Goodyear Tire at age 17 and changed oil and tires. Then I was off to the Navy and changed directions. Wanted to be a jet mechanic and ended up doing Avionics. Got a 69 mustang in the Navy and rebuilt the motor. When to college when I got out the Navy and now I'm a software engineer, but still turn wrenches on my truck, car, and 2 motorcycles. Been buying tools since I was a teenager. Learned a lot over the years and still learning. Still buying tools, but really only if I don't have it or lost it, or loaned it and never got it back. Thanks to you, youtube, and the Internet I will tackle DYI jobs, and if I don't have the tools, a lift, or just not up to the job I take it in for service. But always nervous that the mechanic who's working on my ride is not as meticulous as you or does a half ass job. Thanks for the tour!

Still have all my my late 80's Craftsman tools too. Lots of memories associated with them. I keep them at home. For work I have chosen Tekton tools. Their warranty and customer service is top notch. If the Tekton name is on it... its guaranteed. They don't care where you bought it. Send them a picture if you break something and they ship you a new one. They always pay for the shipping and don't want the old tool back... you keep it. Send them a picture before 2pm and they ship the same day. My one warranty experience... they FedEx and it arrived in 2 days.

Been turning wrenches for 30 plus years, we work on many makes from heavy to light cars , not just one and we have to keep a lot of tools on hand. I look at it lie this, yes not every mechanic can have all the tools, but I rather buy it and it saves time having to see who has a tool or wait till tool guys come around. On those large screw drivers, many break the ends cause we tend to use them more as pry bars....lol...and that's a fact. I can't tell you last time I used a large flat head screw drive for a screw that large.

Always hated to see them pull up to the shop, had to pay for tools I couldn’t resist. I still have almost all of them, but now a day’s technology has passed me by. If it is out of my league, it goes to the dealer. I figure I am helping a young technician pay their tool guys off. I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for showing us your tool box set up. I too have tools that are sentimental to me. Some are good quality and some are not. I have a Snap On box with many Snap On tools. Very few of them were purchased new. Many were in the used section and it was a tool that was needed at the time. I have done most of the maintenance on my Toyotas over the years, so I know there are certain tools and sizes you use over and over. When I had our 2005 Sienna, I discovered on the first oil change, it was next to impossible to put a funnel in the oil fill area. I looked on the forums and discovered that a locking funnel with a seal was available, so I got one of those. Best investment and used for many years. Now have a 2017 and a simple funnel works. My father told me years ago, with the right tools, the job goes easier. Oh, by the way, I know what you mean about Mac tools. When I started buying tools 30 years ago, our Mac dealer was great, and I bought many from him. I then changed jobs, and where I went, the Mac dealer wasn’t that good, then just disappeared. Snap On dealer was so much better. Anyway, thank you for taking the time and showing us your tools. May the Lord Bless you as well.

I chuckled at the tool that was lent out, and never brought back. I only lend tools, with the expectation that I will never see them again. The worst offender is my brother in law. So I save my old cheap tools, wait for him to ask to borrow it, then I "lend" him the old ones. He almost has his own full set of tools now, and he rarely asks me to "borrow" anything because I gave him his own set, one tool at a time. 😆 🤣 😂

I am now retired. I started out at 18 in the Air Force in 1976 as a vehicle mechanic so I did not need a work set of tools as the tools were provided. After my enlistment 6 years plus one year extension I left the Air Force and returned to be a civilian and needed tools. Since I knew I was not going to make it career in the Air Force I went out and shopped hard for a basic set of tools and I ended up with a full set of Bonney hand tools and IR air powered tools that I got at Grainger. Grainger even threw in a cheap roll cart for my set. I worked as a heavy line mechanic and used both SAE and metric tools daily so my set up has both SAE and metric tools. That cheap tool cart lasted my entire 40 + year career until I retired. I continued on and decided to go and join the Air Force Reserves and the Reserves in their wisdom set me back to school as an aircraft sheet metal mechanic. In 1987 I was hired by a major aircraft manufacture in the Seattle area. So I cleaned up SAE tools and took them to work. Fast forward to 2017 I was offered an early retirement and I took it as I needed to be home more as my wife was health issues (memory). I took everything I had and took them home. I then tried to fit all the tools I had accumulated over the past 40+ years and fit in my old cheap tool cart that was not going to work. I then decided a tool chest was required and I knew the fact I would not need a Snap-on box was way overkill for home usage and went to Harbor Freight and pick a 44" top bottom and side box. Get the entire chest set up and discovered after a week I had more tools without a home so I just go and get another double of the original set. Now I had plenty of tool room. A couple years ago I was in Harbor Freight getting some consumables and I see a out of box 73" wheeled chest on sale for cheap well being I never pass up a good deal I bought that and get that home on my car trailer and I set all my Bonney tools in this 73" chest. I just really like the size and the fact I can now lock up my Bonneys wan the neighbors, grand kids can work out with my mishmash tools and my Bonney's are safely locked up. 45+ years of tools a person is going to have lots of tools especially a old retired vehicle/aviation mechanic. I have all the different brands except for a limited amount of the Snap-on as I never agreed on the price and the Snap-on truck dealers I always had issues with as they would never cut me a break for being a cash and carry mechanic. They sure sell to me if I went on their dang credit but I wanted nothing to do with that I always paid cash for tools as then the tool could make me money right out of the gate.

im just starting out, and its so easy to get tool-envy seeing some of my coworkers Snap-On loaded toolboxes. but after watching this, i think im doing alright as a Lube Tech just sticking with the shop-proveded basic tools. doing oil changes and tire rotations, there's really not much more needed than a 10 and 12mm for the splash shields/skid plates, a 14 for drainplugs, and a 21 and the occaisonal 22 for lug nuts. its nice having a 19 around for the occasional oddball used "Not Toyota" that comes through the dealership. Like you've said before, get the tools when you need them.

Tekton tools are much cheaper than Snap-on. They are good quality and have a great warranty. If you break something... send them a picture before 2pm and they ship you a new tool the same day. They always pay for shipping and you keep the old tool. My one experience... they FedEx and it arrived in 2 days. If the Tekton name is on it... its guaranteed. They don't care where you purchased it... and you don't need to register with them or show proof of purchase or nothing.

I have been using the JIS (japan internation standard) Vessel srewdrivers for years on my Toyota's , they seem to outlast all other brands I have, and they fit perfectly for Japanese made star type screws, they also have a gripping feature so they slip less.

Very nice collection and efficient organization. Just last week I pulled out all 6 of my roller cabinets for the yearly cleanup and organization and realized I have accumulated more tools than i will ever need after 45 years of car crafting. Many of mine were handed down to me and hold sentimental as well as monetary value as the old tool quality was better in many cases. Keep up the great videos and just did a brake flush, coolant flush,AC top off and rear brakes on my wifes 2015 Rav4. My 2023 4 runner is 6 months old now biut only has 600 miles so no service needed yet but I always check the car nut channel before i start ANY work on my Toyotas

The "Safety Seal" tire plugs is a kit that I use and carry all the time,had to put three plugs on for the same hole while in the San Gabriel Mountains once and it worked throughout the off roading trip,I did replace that tire when back to civilization.

Thanks for the tour! I’ve never had a compressor in my garage but found the rechargeables very handy…even a cheap one from Amazon that removes wheel lug nuts!! (Best to lossen them else the battery dies by the 4th tire)

You sir are 100% correct. Quality tools cost, but I believe you get what you pay for. However, tools are "just tools" to accomplish a task. It's the knowledge you obtain from education, from mentors, and from your own experience that makes you successful. Be well.

The exhaust hanger tool is made by Lisle. According to the German company it’s pronounced Ka-nipex. Usually a “k” in America is silent as you were using on this tool like in knife. You have a great, informative channel.

One tool that I also have that you skipped over was the brass cube disk brake piston tool. I have a set of hinge drill bits. They are great for centering holes on broken bolts. Maybe a little unorthodox for car repairs but I love them. A video I would like to see you do is removing brake caliper pins that are severely seized. This happens quite a bit in the rust belt. You must have an excellent technique.

Love your toolbox, wide drawers are very handy, so you could fit all your sockets in one single place, it’s a pain when you need to open 2-3 drawers to get the combo ratchet/extension/socket that you need. Please keep making quality content videos, iam french technician working on euro cars but driving Toyotas and Volvo 😊
