I seen that drawer and it cost more than my whole set up and I’m a full time ford mechanic. We don’t need a big variation of tools. You can pretty much take a car apart with a 8, 10, 13, 15, 18mm. Awesome set of tools though.
behexen250 what about a 5 mm. For fender liners, no I don’t work for quick lane. I’m a line tech, have been for about 10 years. Don’t think I’ve ever used a 9mm for anything, heck I bought a set of snap on semi deep 1/4 drive sockets and it came with 2 8mm and no 9mm. Wasn’t complaining though. Was a mispackaged set.
@@craigmadden7470 my tools are all scrapped of use 😅 I usually buy what I use. Things that I rarely use I dont keep in the toolbox. My tool box is a 5 drawer HB box
I can’t believe all of the hateful comments. Some people are criticizing how much his tools cost. I know a guy who has a ski boat that costs more than all of this mans tools. The ski boat gets used maybe once a month for half a year while these tools get used making this man money and will continue to make him money for a long time.

A rip off is a rip off, if he enjoys it more power to him but nobody is going to say you couldn't get basically everything shown far cheaper. If your job allows you enough disposable income to spend on overpriced tools and accessories then do what you want I guess...

I was with Porsche for over 30 + years. I have 7 top & bottom boxes that are full. I had a Porsche shop, then restored Porsche, & Mercedes out of a E350 Ford Van. I was a high performance fabricator for Carroll Shelby. (I was involved with the original Viper.) I also designed tool boxes, & hand tools for a company in Tiawan. Your tool collection is awesome. Now, go make some money, keep America rolling!
When I purchased my box alone it was 10, 895 and change. After tax it was well over 11K for just the box alone. Best thing it was paid off in a year, no loan taken out just weekly payments to the truck. I would estimate that I have over 70K in tools, but it has taken me over 35 years to collect these tools. I work on Heavy Equipment, Concrete Pumps, Cranes, and in the past Mine Haul Equipment. Tools add up quickly, but when you need something, you get it. Heck I paid over 400 dollars for one socket from Snap-on, but had to have it for a job. Yes only used one time, but the customer was happy and pleased with the work completed. Quit bashing on this guy, if he can afford it and keep his family taken care of, go for it.

Been twisted wrenches lil’ over 40 years. He got his training when in the us navy. He’s got a box that a lil’bit larger then this. The size of wrench’s - sockets are huge. Everything in the rail road is huge. Rail road provides a good part of he’s needs, but when he needs the good stuff, he got his box. He’s fixen to retire in a few years. He’ll have 2 retirements under his belt and has done very well for himself. So I guess you can say, I have much respect for tradesmen. It’s way better then the other route, livin off the government expecting a handout..
I love when you have all these tool at work and then you go home and need to work on something and you don't have that one socket, set, or something that you know is sitting in your toolbox at work.
I'll tell you something. I use to be an ASE technician for GM for about 20 years. I had around 100K in Snap on boxes & tools. Seemed like all i ever accomplished was making money to pay off my Snap on bill. Sure i made some good money but i had to reinvest it in more equipment, etc. After awhile i started to realize i wasn't making much progress & decided to get into aviation. Went to school & became a certified A&P technician. Took a job at a commercial airlines & made more money than i ever thought possible. The best part was i didn't need a toolbox that was the size of a small house & didn't need every tool under the sun. Most of the speciality tools were provided by the company. It sure made my life much easier & i didn't have the constant pressure of worrying how i was gonna pay for this & that. I worked for that airline for 22 years & then at the age of 60 i was able to retire a millionaire. My wife & i now live in the Bahamas & have a beautiful home that's paid for overlooking the beach & loving every minute of it. So if you really want to make the big bucks forget about making Snap on richer & make yourself richer.
@@Some_person. Thank you. I worked all the overtime I could get & it definitely paid off. After working in the hangers for 6 yrs. I went to the engine shop where it was climate controlled & it sure was alot easier than bent over a fender working in a hot shop. The thing about working in aviation is there are so many peaks & vallies. I had a crew chief tell me to always hang in there & never give up & it did pay off in the long run. I was very fortunate & never did get laid off. Sure was stressful at times worrying if I would get laid off but it never happened.
I am actually working on getting my A&P cert. your comment gives me hope that am actually doing the right thing. Not getting Snap on getting Harbor Freight tool box myself. No need to make Snap on guy millions. lol
@@loco0351 Like i said stick with it & never give up. You'll get frustrated at times & will start to second guess yourself...i most certainly did, but soon everything will start to fall in place & the satisfaction & sense of accomplishment will be the best high you'll ever get. At first it's not easy but after awhile everything will fall in place & you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in the aviation industry. Always work safe & smart & stay alert at what you're doing because there's alot of heavy equipment, etc. that can hurt you severely or even kill you. Never let anyone have or tell you to do something that you're not comfortable doing especially if it's not an FAA approved repair. That my friend will get you in deep doo-doo. I saw it happened a few times & most of the time they lost their license & was fired by the company. Many of them were very good at what they did but for one reason or another they got in too big of a hurry or did a repair that wasn't on the up & up hoping that the inspector wouldn't catch it but in most cases they would catch it. I worked with some awesome inspectors that knew more about their particular aircraft than the mechanics did. They were some very intelligent & knowledgeable people & usually great guys & gals also. A little hint...always treat the inspectors with upmost respect & try to make friends with them. You'll life will be alot easier. Always, always go by the book to the letter & you'll be just fine. Because in the end it's your butt that's on the line. Just never become a Supervisor at an airline company. The stress those guys endure is crazy. Airline company's fire & hire those poor souls all of the time. There's no job protection in what the union members call the company side. Stick with the unions. The union i was in took very good care of their brothers & sisters along with the company. The airline career can be so rewarding it'll blow your mind how much money there is to be made. I know i certainly did. Had i continued to work until i was 65 i could have made even more money than what i did but after i got to the point where my wife & i could live comfortably for the rest of our lives i chose to go ahead & retire & start to do the things i wanted to do & haven't regretted it one bit. I'm loving life more than ever right now! I remember the first couple of days after i retired i thought what in the hell have i done...the next week i adapted just fine...haha. I didn't mean to be so long winded but i just thought i'd give you a little insight of how rewarding a career you can have in aviation. I wish you the best of luck & keep 'em flyin' high! By the way i've got one of Harbor Freight boxes & it's awesome. Some people knock Harbor Freight but in the recent years they have really stepped up their game.
You have an impressive setup, and so very well organized! You clearly have pride in what you do, and that's something that is too rare these days and cannot be taught. Thanks for sharing your toolbox!
A man was never meant to drool for 1 hour and 15 minutes straight! Time to drink a gallon of water to replenish! Awesome tool box tour! I totally agree with your philosophy of it's better to own it than borrow someone else's! About 1/3 of my tools are duplicates of shop supplied tools, yet mine always seem to be the missing ones!
Man that’s an amazing collection that will last generations, and I guess when your making more then enough too live why not buy what you love, congrats man
As someone whose been a car mechanic for about 2 years now whose growing my toolbox although every drawer is impressive I love the Milwaukee tool collection you have because those are some of my favorite tools I’ve bought.
I prefer a tool box tour over a house tour any day . You know you doing something right when it takes more than 1hr to show your box . Really enjoyed the video brother
"Hello, I helped my Snap-On tool dealer buy a vacation home, a new boat, an RV with toy hauler, and 4 new Quads. Soon I will be buying him a new Porsche." 🤣🤣🤣.. Nice tool box. Our business has several large Snap-On tool chests too, but non of the hutch styles. Nice setup👍.
So many losers trying to spot which tools haven't been used or not much, maybe some people clean their tools? When I buy a new pair of Knipex pliers I try to get them looking new again after every use.
Good to see the young men getting into the trade. You've got an impressive setup. Very clean. Hats off for keeping America's Trucks and Equipment on the road and in the dirt.
Great video and great tool box. How sad that many comments are just nasty. "Those tools don't look used" etc. I've had the same comments thrown at me on sites over and over again. You know what, I like to use clean tools and I like my bags organised. Looks good to clients, and makes my working life happier. Not knocking guys who don't feel the same as we're all different, but you know, if you don't have anything nice to say, then just keep quiet.
I didn’t realize the length of the vid up until about 40min in when i paused it to take a piss and damn....still sat through it all cause it was a great vid. He explained pretty much every drawer and what the tools are used for. No music was nice for once cause it’s just satisfying listening to the tools make noise
I often joked about my Snap On man being my first wife, because he got paid every two weeks before MY wife did. As a retired auto mechanic, I can appreciate the financial investment that you've made in your gear, and it's a great thing that you've got a video of your inventory should you need it for replacement purposes. But the funny thing is that you never really retire from fixing things... you just fix your own stuff on your own time. Thanks for sharing.
JR Alabed I have been an import automotive technician for 30 years. I’ve spent a king’s ransom on tools and I can attest that Sunex impact sockets are the best sockets I’ve purchased. They are tougher than the Snapon sockets sitting right beside them in my box. They are made in one of the most technologically advanced factories in the world. I wish they were USA made but they aren’t. You better not go to NAPA and look at their Carlyle Professional combination wrenches either. My last set of Snapons were about $400. The Carlyle sets run $99. Look one one and you’ll see how nice they are.
Snap-on haters are kind of funny, but not nearly as funny as the Snap-on fan boys. I was a tech, way back in the day, then left the automotive field and went in the military. Working of F-16's for 4 years. I always bought Snap-on back then. But I got older... and smarter. I have always made my living using tools of one kind or another but haven't been a mechanic for many years now. As I gear up for retirement, I'm envisioning me working on cars once again. Getting into it as a heavy hobby. Rebuilding older 60s and 70's American heavy metal....so I'm rounding out and filling out my old Snap-on box (1980) and my three other boxes, that include two US General boxes. I have bought about 5 to 10K of tools this past year, including about $500 of Snap-on. If it was all Snap-on or its woodworking equivalent "Festool", I would have had to drop my annual Mexico vacation. My point is this, Snap-on is king of the tool brands, but foolishly throwing money at a Snap-on truck is, well.... foolish. Value is found in many places and many brands, buy smart. Indulge when you want, after all, it's your money. But if you have a family, you need to think twice.
Most Mechanics think " If i have the right tool, I can fix anything" . You Mr. Beyer have no excuse if you cant fix something. Very impressive and a great video! I love all my Knipex tools
That box color is awesome! that's what drew me in. Then I stayed for the box tour. Nice set up man. Nice to see a good assortment of brands and tools (not all snap on)
Been doing this 35yrs myself on heavy equipment, I just upgraded to the 84”.. this will be the last box I buy at my age.. I got tools scattered everywhere, in our locker room I take up a couple of lockers for my specialty tools (cases) I’m just glad I can put everything in one box now
I'm a diesel truck mechanic and one thing I've learned is that I'm at work to make money not to lose money. I just bought the husky 80 inch tool box for 1300$ and I couldn't be happier. Snap on lmao never.
@@cheezuscrust7730 Amen mah brotha same here!! Been wrenching for 12 plus years & $20,000 for tool storage is absurd happy AF with my husky has integrated usb & 12v connector for chargers self closing drawers. Only thing I get off tool trucks are impact sockets, impact extensions impact swivels, wrenches other than that home depot for milwaukee electric tools.
THE best tool box tour I've seen on CZcams. Thank you for sharing and your time showing all of them. Gave me some ideas to add to my tools. Very well organized and clean. You obviously care for you tools and job.
Jose Gutierrez Lmfao, just about! Actually I’m pretty strategic and what I buy. I use the Snap-on app pretty religiously and plan out everything I buy them prior to buying it. And of course wait and watch for all those Bogo deals. Of course I would say a solid 50-70% of what I buy is off of Amazon.
That, my friend, is a thing of beauty. Had about a 300.00 a week SnapOn habit back in the early 90's. We farm now and use a lot of Craftsman and Harbor Freight. Doesn't hurt near as much when we lose them in the chicken house. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wow, seeing that top socket drawer alone made my jaw drop. I used to work with a couple gracious motorsport mechanics who'd let us use their tools to help the team on race weekends. Really miss those Snap-on bits as an engineer just working in his garage now. Hats off to you mechanics. Amazing stuff Chris...
I'm just starting out over the last month. Most of my stuff is Harbor Freight. I guess Between the Box and tools I have spent $1500. Starting off I would say I'm doing good. But if someone were to give me this package, Zero complaints.
Have you ever been addicted? I am addicted to tools. Vidyas like this, fuel my addiction... In the best way possible, of course. Thanks for taking the time. Good video...
Fantastic. The dribble was running out of the corners of my mouth. I would love all that gear. Thank you very much for the video. Retired Ford mechanic from the UK.
@@bjmxd because anyone who could pay cash for all that at once ain't getting dirty for a living. That box alone costs more than most new cars, and that's before putting a single tool in it. It's an investment, not a pleasure thing. It would cost him MORE to wait and pay cash for the tools, cause he couldn't work. The box and tools pay for themselves over time, but believe, nobody pays cash for this box at once.
@bjmxd that box ALONE cost over 7,000 plus all the tools that's over 15,000 in tools and the box I have over 2,000 spent on tools an a box and AM NO WHERE close to even have what he gots
Well it’s the 27th for me. The algorithm has jumped somewhere along the way. Maybe snap on run a sale, maybe lots of people searched the icon tool boxes and this cross referenced those videos. It’s all algorithms but maybe snap on is paying for this to go viral
I could NEVER afford a box like this, nor could I justify the cost to my wife because I do not wrench everyday for my job. I am a lineman so no need for the best of the best in tools & toolboxes. Thanks for sharing your toolbox, it is freaking awesome man!!
His knipex collection alone costs and arm and a leg. Honestly, there is nothing more impressive than seeing someone so dedicated to what they do. Keep at it man I can only imagine the job going to work and opening that box up everyday. Take care man and good health to you
People commenting on how much money he has in tools. While it’s a lot don’t get me wrong it’s no different than getting a degree and going that much or more in debt to get a job. He invested in himself which is Never a bad investment
I love how organized your box is, i’d love to have mine like that....but since I work flat rate, it’s nearly impossible to keep it that way. Which gives me an idea.... lol
Good lord that is impressive. Can't even imagine how much money that guy has tied up in that box and tools. Great to see someone "invested and dedicated" to his craft.
Hurt my soul watching this. I got some 3/8 drive sockets for 450$ off the snap on truck today and have been upset ever since lol Every Thursday i walk off the truck questioning my well being and sanity. 😂
Being a mecanic now days is a whole diffrent breed, if your clean and professional it sets you apart from the dirty and messy mechanics. I try to stay away from the old fashioned mechanic stigma too
The snap on dealer would like to personally thank you for putting his kid through college
And paying off 2 houses
Snap on is cool and all but I prefer the Rolls Royce line of tools
I love comments like this. If his snap on guys like mine his snap on guy may have made 5-6 grand if that.

I'll tell you something. I use to be an ASE technician for GM for about 20 years. I had around 100K in Snap on boxes & tools. Seemed like all i ever accomplished was making money to pay off my Snap on bill. Sure i made some good money but i had to reinvest it in more equipment, etc. After awhile i started to realize i wasn't making much progress & decided to get into aviation. Went to school & became a certified A&P technician. Took a job at a commercial airlines & made more money than i ever thought possible. The best part was i didn't need a toolbox that was the size of a small house & didn't need every tool under the sun. Most of the speciality tools were provided by the company. It sure made my life much easier & i didn't have the constant pressure of worrying how i was gonna pay for this & that. I worked for that airline for 22 years & then at the age of 60 i was able to retire a millionaire. My wife & i now live in the Bahamas & have a beautiful home that's paid for overlooking the beach & loving every minute of it. So if you really want to make the big bucks forget about making Snap on richer & make yourself richer.
That's pretty impressive.
@@Some_person. Thank you. I worked all the overtime I could get & it definitely paid off. After working in the hangers for 6 yrs. I went to the engine shop where it was climate controlled & it sure was alot easier than bent over a fender working in a hot shop. The thing about working in aviation is there are so many peaks & vallies. I had a crew chief tell me to always hang in there & never give up & it did pay off in the long run. I was very fortunate & never did get laid off. Sure was stressful at times worrying if I would get laid off but it never happened.
@@747rotate Hard work pays off, you only live once make it worth while, you have made the success happen that people dream of happening, good job.
I am actually working on getting my A&P cert. your comment gives me hope that am actually doing the right thing. Not getting Snap on getting Harbor Freight tool box myself. No need to make Snap on guy millions. lol
@@loco0351 Like i said stick with it & never give up. You'll get frustrated at times & will start to second guess yourself...i most certainly did, but soon everything will start to fall in place & the satisfaction & sense of accomplishment will be the best high you'll ever get. At first it's not easy but after awhile everything will fall in place & you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in the aviation industry. Always work safe & smart & stay alert at what you're doing because there's alot of heavy equipment, etc. that can hurt you severely or even kill you. Never let anyone have or tell you to do something that you're not comfortable doing especially if it's not an FAA approved repair. That my friend will get you in deep doo-doo. I saw it happened a few times & most of the time they lost their license & was fired by the company. Many of them were very good at what they did but for one reason or another they got in too big of a hurry or did a repair that wasn't on the up & up hoping that the inspector wouldn't catch it but in most cases they would catch it. I worked with some awesome inspectors that knew more about their particular aircraft than the mechanics did. They were some very intelligent & knowledgeable people & usually great guys & gals also. A little hint...always treat the inspectors with upmost respect & try to make friends with them. You'll life will be alot easier. Always, always go by the book to the letter & you'll be just fine. Because in the end it's your butt that's on the line. Just never become a Supervisor at an airline company. The stress those guys endure is crazy. Airline company's fire & hire those poor souls all of the time. There's no job protection in what the union members call the company side. Stick with the unions. The union i was in took very good care of their brothers & sisters along with the company. The airline career can be so rewarding it'll blow your mind how much money there is to be made. I know i certainly did. Had i continued to work until i was 65 i could have made even more money than what i did but after i got to the point where my wife & i could live comfortably for the rest of our lives i chose to go ahead & retire & start to do the things i wanted to do & haven't regretted it one bit. I'm loving life more than ever right now! I remember the first couple of days after i retired i thought what in the hell have i done...the next week i adapted just fine...haha. I didn't mean to be so long winded but i just thought i'd give you a little insight of how rewarding a career you can have in aviation. I wish you the best of luck & keep 'em flyin' high! By the way i've got one of Harbor Freight boxes & it's awesome. Some people knock Harbor Freight but in the recent years they have really stepped up their game.
You have an impressive setup, and so very well organized! You clearly have pride in what you do, and that's something that is too rare these days and cannot be taught. Thanks for sharing your toolbox!
A man was never meant to drool for 1 hour and 15 minutes straight! Time to drink a gallon of water to replenish! Awesome tool box tour! I totally agree with your philosophy of it's better to own it than borrow someone else's! About 1/3 of my tools are duplicates of shop supplied tools, yet mine always seem to be the missing ones!
Imagine the savings if we just all agreed on one damn standardized system.
Amazing set of tools!
Man that’s an amazing collection that will last generations, and I guess when your making more then enough too live why not buy what you love, congrats man
Raven Moore Hell yea! Thank you for the support!
Only if the kid doesn't sell the box 😂
As someone whose been a car mechanic for about 2 years now whose growing my toolbox although every drawer is impressive I love the Milwaukee tool collection you have because those are some of my favorite tools I’ve bought.
43 minute's in and you have spent in tools as much as I paid for my home. Wholly SH!T this is a dream box. Keep them tools coming...
Im glad there’s someone in the world doing this job, and I’m glad you’re well equipped. Glad you exist and do what you do.
I prefer a tool box tour over a house tour any day . You know you doing something right when it takes more than 1hr to show your box . Really enjoyed the video brother
Joseluis Calderon Thank you!
That box costs more than a house... go to harbor freight
"Hello, I helped my Snap-On tool dealer buy a vacation home, a new boat, an RV with toy hauler, and 4 new Quads. Soon I will be buying him a new Porsche." 🤣🤣🤣.. Nice tool box. Our business has several large Snap-On tool chests too, but non of the hutch styles. Nice setup👍.
Jennifer WhiteWolf lmao 😂 Thank you!
So many losers trying to spot which tools haven't been used or not much, maybe some people clean their tools? When I buy a new pair of Knipex pliers I try to get them looking new again after every use.
exactly
You’d be real surprised how many project car keyboard warriors end up on these apps acting like ASE master techs
i knew it was gonna be a long video when he said "heres my paper holder, for holding the Snap-On catalouge"
This box is every mechanics dream
Zachary Eller I do enjoy it!
i could fix anything with all those tools ahaha
no more duck tape
Love to see people taking this kind of pride into their job!
Henrik Andersson Thank you!
Good to see the young men getting into the trade. You've got an impressive setup. Very clean. Hats off for keeping America's Trucks and Equipment on the road and in the dirt.
Great video and great tool box. How sad that many comments are just nasty. "Those tools don't look used" etc. I've had the same comments thrown at me on sites over and over again. You know what, I like to use clean tools and I like my bags organised. Looks good to clients, and makes my working life happier. Not knocking guys who don't feel the same as we're all different, but you know, if you don't have anything nice to say, then just keep quiet.
Ursus Maritimus Couldn’t agree more.
I didn’t realize the length of the vid up until about 40min in when i paused it to take a piss and damn....still sat through it all cause it was a great vid. He explained pretty much every drawer and what the tools are used for. No music was nice for once cause it’s just satisfying listening to the tools make noise
Mike Who Cheese Stinks Haha! Thanks for the support man!
Christian Beyer by chance do you know what the part number for the KNIPEX snap ring pliers sets is
Mike Who Cheese Stinks I bought them all individually off of Amazon. I just reference the part numbers off of knipex website and found them on Amazon.
“What would you buy if you won the lottery?”
This guys tool box.
For all the money haters, he’s doing it pretty smart really buying sunex sockets. Sunex makes a badass product and at a tenth of the cost of snap on.
Yeah I was surprised to see that. I don't have a fancy box but I run Sunex impacts with good results so far.
I often joked about my Snap On man being my first wife, because he got paid every two weeks before MY wife did. As a retired auto mechanic, I can appreciate the financial investment that you've made in your gear, and it's a great thing that you've got a video of your inventory should you need it for replacement purposes. But the funny thing is that you never really retire from fixing things... you just fix your own stuff on your own time. Thanks for sharing.
Finally someone who likes sunex impacts. Great sockets
JR Alabed Absolutely! Haven’t had anything wrong with them!
I love mine!. I keep full sets in my service truck.
JR Alabed I have been an import automotive technician for 30 years. I’ve spent a king’s ransom on tools and I can attest that Sunex impact sockets are the best sockets I’ve purchased. They are tougher than the Snapon sockets sitting right beside them in my box. They are made in one of the most technologically advanced factories in the world. I wish they were USA made but they aren’t.
You better not go to NAPA and look at their Carlyle Professional combination wrenches either. My last set of Snapons were about $400. The Carlyle sets run $99. Look one one and you’ll see how nice they are.
I do to man i buy the 3/4 individually from Amazon 👍
Sunex is a good brand.
Snap-on haters are kind of funny, but not nearly as funny as the Snap-on fan boys. I was a tech, way back in the day, then left the automotive field and went in the military. Working of F-16's for 4 years. I always bought Snap-on back then. But I got older... and smarter. I have always made my living using tools of one kind or another but haven't been a mechanic for many years now. As I gear up for retirement, I'm envisioning me working on cars once again. Getting into it as a heavy hobby. Rebuilding older 60s and 70's American heavy metal....so I'm rounding out and filling out my old Snap-on box (1980) and my three other boxes, that include two US General boxes. I have bought about 5 to 10K of tools this past year, including about $500 of Snap-on. If it was all Snap-on or its woodworking equivalent "Festool", I would have had to drop my annual Mexico vacation. My point is this, Snap-on is king of the tool brands, but foolishly throwing money at a Snap-on truck is, well.... foolish. Value is found in many places and many brands, buy smart. Indulge when you want, after all, it's your money. But if you have a family, you need to think twice.
Most Mechanics think " If i have the right tool, I can fix anything" . You Mr. Beyer have no excuse if you cant fix something. Very impressive and a great video! I love all my Knipex tools
My mini knipex are my favorite when I am scaffolding or just working on site in general
Any one who has to mess with hydraulics can appreciate those angled wrenches.
Steven Pope Absolutely! I grab them every time.
Service line hydraulic wrenches are a life saver, 18 years heavy equipment mech. Primarily engines and hydraulic systems
That box color is awesome! that's what drew me in. Then I stayed for the box tour. Nice set up man. Nice to see a good assortment of brands and tools (not all snap on)
Bradley Macaulay Thank you!
Been doing this 35yrs myself on heavy equipment, I just upgraded to the 84”.. this will be the last box I buy at my age.. I got tools scattered everywhere, in our locker room I take up a couple of lockers for my specialty tools (cases) I’m just glad I can put everything in one box now
I'm a diesel truck mechanic and one thing I've learned is that I'm at work to make money not to lose money. I just bought the husky 80 inch tool box for 1300$ and I couldn't be happier. Snap on lmao never.
Wtf husky is worse than strap on
Snap on*
@@z1lla4 strap on yes cuz that's what they wear when they screw you in the a55
@@z1lla4 yeah cuz 20 times the price of a husky
@@cheezuscrust7730 Amen mah brotha same here!! Been wrenching for 12 plus years & $20,000 for tool storage is absurd happy AF with my husky has integrated usb & 12v connector for chargers self closing drawers. Only thing I get off tool trucks are impact sockets, impact extensions impact swivels, wrenches other than that home depot for milwaukee electric tools.
THE best tool box tour I've seen on CZcams. Thank you for sharing and your time showing all of them. Gave me some ideas to add to my tools. Very well organized and clean. You obviously care for you tools and job.
Robert Weir Thank you sir!
you smack your franchise dealer with the tool catalog and say "I want this....all of it"
Jose Gutierrez Lmfao, just about! Actually I’m pretty strategic and what I buy. I use the Snap-on app pretty religiously and plan out everything I buy them prior to buying it. And of course wait and watch for all those Bogo deals. Of course I would say a solid 50-70% of what I buy is off of Amazon.
I just linked your video to a teacher complaining she bought pencils for 20 students.
Thanks for letting everyone know that you're a you're an arsehole. This dude makes more in a month than that teacher makes in a year.
@@InchFab no shot
@@mattreardon5648 at what?
That, my friend, is a thing of beauty. Had about a 300.00 a week SnapOn habit back in the early 90's. We farm now and use a lot of Craftsman and Harbor Freight. Doesn't hurt near as much when we lose them in the chicken house. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I’ve seen bigger boxes on YT but not better, it’s about the right tools. Thanks for the great tour👍👍
Just don’t understand negativity? If you don’t like tools why are you here. Great vid, beautiful tool set keep up the good work.
I have seen this video a dozen times over the years. You have a great sellection of tools and I love the colour of your box
“If you can’t find the right tool in this garage, you don’t belong near a car” 😂
His snap on guy creams his jeans when this boy hits the truck.
At least this box is being used to its full extent and isnt only half full
@@andybub45 we have smart technology now. No need for a tool box at all.
You just say you need a tool and it arrives.
Dreyn 77 does that work for women as well?
@@brianb900 Only in the fantasy internet world where he lives.
This is just a tool box for Chevy Recalls!!!
No its for ls swaps into everything, watch sloppy mechanics, hitler finds out about 8f8
I still don't think he has enough tools for that. I didnt even see a car crusher in his tool box 🤣
I enjoyed the peek inside your toolbox as a heavy diesel mechanic, thank you so much!
Wow, seeing that top socket drawer alone made my jaw drop. I used to work with a couple gracious motorsport mechanics who'd let us use their tools to help the team on race weekends. Really miss those Snap-on bits as an engineer just working in his garage now. Hats off to you mechanics. Amazing stuff Chris...
And I thought my socket drawer was stocked. Amazing set up.
I'm just starting out over the last month. Most of my stuff is Harbor Freight. I guess Between the Box and tools I have spent $1500. Starting off I would say I'm doing good. But if someone were to give me this package, Zero complaints.
As a guy in the electrical trade, I envy that drawer with the full set of knipex alligators and pliers. My lord
Thanks for the tour and commentary based on your experience as a heavy equipment tech. Much appreciated!
I admit the knipex is definitely worth their slightly higher price. They make amazing tools.
This man is living my dream
you dont want that dream truse me...
One of the best tool boxes I've seen, great balance of tools. Quality where it's needed and value where needed.
Have you ever been addicted? I am addicted to tools. Vidyas like this, fuel my addiction... In the best way possible, of course. Thanks for taking the time. Good video...
haha i bet he had fun making this. Its like adult show&tell. Badass shop man!
What a dream man. Your quality of work shows through the box and tools you have
Levi Wozab Thank you sir! I really do love my job and am very passionate about my tools!
Fantastic. The dribble was running out of the corners of my mouth. I would love all that gear. Thank you very much for the video. Retired Ford mechanic from the UK.
Kudos to the snap on guy that found you😂
That setup must cost more than my house
and car.
I assume you dont have as much debt as he does......
@@callumtoye20 how do you know he didn't pay out of pocket i'm sure he makes enough to suffice the cost of all of this
@@bjmxd because anyone who could pay cash for all that at once ain't getting dirty for a living. That box alone costs more than most new cars, and that's before putting a single tool in it. It's an investment, not a pleasure thing. It would cost him MORE to wait and pay cash for the tools, cause he couldn't work. The box and tools pay for themselves over time, but believe, nobody pays cash for this box at once.
He probably just got out of diesel school
@bjmxd that box ALONE cost over 7,000 plus all the tools that's over 15,000 in tools and the box I have over 2,000 spent on tools an a box and AM NO WHERE close to even have what he gots
I kept expecting him to show a drawer full of nothing but spare 10mm sockets.
It's not 10mm I have the prob with its 9/16 and 5/8
anyone notice this video was from 2019 and we all got it on are recommendation page today (Nov 3rd)?
Yep
Well it’s the 27th for me. The algorithm has jumped somewhere along the way. Maybe snap on run a sale, maybe lots of people searched the icon tool boxes and this cross referenced those videos. It’s all algorithms but maybe snap on is paying for this to go viral
I could NEVER afford a box like this, nor could I justify the cost to my wife because I do not wrench everyday for my job. I am a lineman so no need for the best of the best in tools & toolboxes. Thanks for sharing your toolbox, it is freaking awesome man!!
Hell yeah brother. Good to finally see a tool box tour for us heavy techs. Sick set up!
We have smart tool boxes in 2020. Hey google tool box! Get me a 21 mill socket!
It arrives at the front of the tool box.
@@dreyn7780 where does one find one like that? I want one!
This guys tool addiction knows no bounds.
His knipex collection alone costs and arm and a leg. Honestly, there is nothing more impressive than seeing someone so dedicated to what they do. Keep at it man I can only imagine the job going to work and opening that box up everyday. Take care man and good health to you
Such an amazing box with so many different tools. Thanks for sharing!
I like how you choose the best brand for the job, rather than worrying about loyalty. That's the sign of a pro and a businessman.
Matthew Graen Absolutely my mindset. Thank you for the support!
Hell yea about time a toolbox tour for the heavy equipment tech!
JC Olivera Thank you!!
Awesome thanks for sharing. Nobody posts in depth videos like this found stuff I never knew I needed
Thank u for sharing. I couldn't afford snap on but I love seeing other ppl using their tools
People commenting on how much money he has in tools. While it’s a lot don’t get me wrong it’s no different than getting a degree and going that much or more in debt to get a job. He invested in himself which is Never a bad investment
the only difference is this is worth something, while that 50-100k piece of paper dignifies one getting getting scammed through the system
@@goodgoyim9459 It's not worth what they paid. I'm sure you'd love your doctor to not have a degree. you're a dumbass.
I love how organized your box is, i’d love to have mine like that....but since I work flat rate, it’s nearly impossible to keep it that way. Which gives me an idea....
lol
Flat rate is where you need to be very organized.
Good lord that is impressive. Can't even imagine how much money that guy has tied up in that box and tools. Great to see someone "invested and dedicated" to his craft.
Very impressive collection. Nice and organized and you can tell that you use your tools, but still take the time to clean and maintain them.
What I liked the most was the color of the toolbox

FULL OUT BEAST MODE!!!! Great job and thank you for sharing
If I get worried about buying too much , I return to where I left this hour and half video and feel better
Damn, He got more money in that box than ive spend in all my time being alive. Bravo. Hope to each that point myself one day
lol
That toolbox colour is killer.
everyone loves to spend money on their hobbies. I love it that you have that stuff so organized. something to pass on to your loved ones. awesome !
I had to make monthly payments just to watch this video. Im as green with envy as the toolbox
It’s weekly actually
Hurt my soul watching this. I got some 3/8 drive sockets for 450$ off the snap on truck today and have been upset ever since lol Every Thursday i walk off the truck questioning my well being and sanity. 😂
Hope you didn’t really pay 450 if you did your snap on guy is ripping you off

@@laxwarrior1221 Looks like he's playing at Daddy's work after Daddy spent his college tuition on tools.
