Its refreshing to see he has an assortment of tool brands, rather than just sticking to snap on. I had to notice the camera guy ignored the craftsman at every chance he could after the first wrenches lol.
There’s a Snap-On dealer on a beach somewhere smoking a cigar and sipping a drink and laughing hysterically.
You're a moron.
@@Crazywaffle5150 you must be a snap on dealer 😂
@@demonxslayer5 Nope. I'm someone who works on my Hotrod out of my garage.
There's a Harbor Freight employee somewhere dreaming of a beach while sipping on a ramen noodle soup, weeping and depressed earning minimum wage. 🍵🐸 but that's none of my business...
@@nitroustommy3668 what does that have to do with anything lmao?
I've been a semi diesel tech for 25yrs now. You name it I've done it. ASE certified on Mack, Cummins, Detroit & Volvo. And all I have are two Snap On tool carts. One for all mechanical repairs. The other dedicated just for eletrical & laptop diagnostic, etc. Ive never understood these techs with huge boxs. No reason for it. But, each to their own.
I imagine you just work heavy duty then? No 3/4 - 1 ton pickups?
ASE certified on manufactures training? I didn't know they had ASE's for Cummins or ect.. 🤔
Samuel Taliento yeah I’m a tech at a Mack dealership and ASE isn’t a thing here. We get Mack master certified which takes a lot of schooling but can only get it through a dealership
There's no way your ASE certified on Mack cummins or Volvo Mack and Volvo go to the same school you either go to Chicago or South Carolina and Cummins is a whole nother school by itself there is no ASE certifications for those engines or those trucks you can get preventive maintenance heavy duty brakes heavy duty engines drivetrain you can't get ase-certified on Mack engines or Volvo engines you can go to school and be certified through Mack or Volvo but you don't go take a test for Mack and Volvo like you would an ASE certification
He does seem young to have so many tools huh… bit of an addiction I suspect. A lot of the stuff seems excessive/doubles/tool truck violations.
Not trying to hate but this is a light/medium duty diesel mechanics tool box. Heavy duty is also different. Great video non the less.
🍻
Tommy Kozak yeah. This is baby diesel. Not heavy diesel.
yea my homak box is as about as long as my wright 3/4 ratchet
@Zoro357 "Har Har Har" -Tim Taylor
@@evanm9026 ok baby girl we get your use to the big trucks
Yeah the same thing I was thinking. I work in the mine with mtu4000, QSK60s and the cat3516
From what I've found Wright Tool company is the last privately owned and operated in America. They only use U.S. sourced steel, and it shows up at their facility near Columbus Ohio, as blanks and leave as a finished tool, all under one roof in house. Pretty cool.
Can't get their gear at all in AU, bit of a shame.
Adam Engelberth They also have made impact sockets for the biggest names in the tool truck business. Their WrightGrip 2.0 wrenches are stronger and grip better than my Flankdrive Plus wrenches. They’ve never advertised because their focus has always been industrial markets plus making stuff for other tool companies. I hope they continue to be successful among all the import knockoffs that have flooded the market.
The only thing he is missing is a snack drawer every good mechanic needs one lol
This is a very helpful video, gonna have to take good notes for when I start buying tools.
How about that fancy case for the $1200 thermal imager..lol. Way to go snap on....
Sanp-on snaped the money so easy!
@@vuhuynh702 not sure if Stupid is the right word, maybe gullible, or loyal? ;)
@@JimmyMakingitwork hahaha
@@JimmyMakingitwork m
No
My I Ik nin
the people that fall for that barbie bs is hysterical
Nice setup he’s got there. I’ve been building up my “mechanics” box the past 3 years, I’m a welder/fabricator by trade. I used to just work out of tool bags and a ~250pc kobalt tool kit, it’s crazy to think how much I struggled on some jobs lacking the proper tools. Now at my current job, I work on everything... small engine, light car/truck, medium trucks, equipment... you name it, it comes through our shop. Because of that, my toolbox/cart setup has become quite the mishmash of stuff. I will say that he will probably love that thermal imager. I own the elite (newer) version, and I don’t use it everyday, but when I need it, boy does it save some time and it’s worth its weight in gold!
Man, when you go to someone's shop don't cut or say you like brand x better then what they have. Stop saying, ”I don't even have these! Who cares what you have. Have some respect for others and their tools. If they ask your opinion give it, if not shut up. People might not be able to afford what you can.
Mechanics always like finding new tools dude.. you need to chill. Mechanics isn't a sensitive profession.
This dude can most definitely afford what he has lol
Some beautiful tool boxes !!!
Thats an awesome tool box/cart . Maybe one day ill have something like that for my shop . Great video thanks for sharing #smallenginenation #keepwrenchin
The matco stepped drill bits are beasts I love my sets
I agree have all Milwaukee tools except the ratchet got to have my snap on 14.4 3/8 ratchet love that thing
Diesel tech 4 life over here sir!! For the most part I love going to work every day! Been turning them BIG wrench’s for going on 15 years myself. Class 7-8 trucks mostly and heavy equipment from time to time. Not knockin on or taking anything away from the car or light duty guys- I have utmost respect for them- my brother is a Toyota dealer tech and loves it. Lots of $$ to be made if u do it right! I professionally did auto for a few years here and there but never liked it. I like light duty/automotive at home on my stuff or side jobs but 40 plus hours a week day in day out I’m a class 8 tech to the core. People fail to realize that now days it is every bit as computer/electronically controlled as the automotive smaller stuff.. if not more!! Especially the last few years with the RIDICULOUS EPA restrictions and everything! But all in all I love it man. Sulfur running thru my veins ( well used to anyways , I think I’m withdrawing haha) Anyways awesome tour awesome channels. Stay safe out there gentlemen and keeps turnin those big wrenchs!!! (And those smaller ones too lol). From Cleveland Ohio!!! Stay dirty!!
And when my bodies too beat up from it (because sooner or later it’s almost always inevitable whether ur a HD tech or car guy) then I can drive em...So ya anyone interested in becoming a tech def be open to diesel as well
Hands down I enjoy semis more due to most of the time the owners are paying up and paying well because they depend on it.
Hi Rustbelt Mechanic,
Great video you have produced here, I really enjoyed it, great content. I particularly enjoyed at 2:00 talking about that massive tool box. I felt it was really informative and you really brought the point across well. I am really interested in engineering and have had a career in engineering for over 28 years from everything from starting as a mechanics assistant to now a Project Manager. I enjoy sharing my skills and knowledge as well with others like yourself. I have provide training to others and had apprentices work with me to kick start there careers. I have started my own channel to share some of my knowledge. I thought your video was so good that I have subscribed and look forward to other content. Many thanks, Great job.
the Snapon Flat hose pic is awsome I use it daily on coolant hoses and air to air tubes, no more ripped boost tubes.
I like this guy he’s honest. Wish he let the diesel tech talk more and show his box
You should do more random toolbox tours this is awesome good stuff
I love that sliding tool cart!!!
I have a set of wobble plus have to be careful you can twist off the ends. I have done that twice but I still love them to give them 2 thumbs up
sneak dissed him right in his face "im not a big matco fan but" Lmao good vid
Great video very interesting had watch to the end perfect
The one thing I do like about this box is it has 1 drawer with a USB and a plug in it and plugs in the front that is a bonus I just ordered the snap-on lockers I don't have a on top and
Definitely my dream job right there i love working on diesels
I’m a carpenter with no desire to be a mechanic but her I am watching this I thought I invested into my trade
That's quite the tool set up.
That is an awesome setup!
Very nice video. Have been a diesel tech for over 25 years and it’s nice to see what other diesel tech have out there. Work on class 8 and refer trailers.
This guy's shop caught on fire and seems to be pretty bad. Happened over the weekend. Loved watching this video. I'm from around the Swartz Creek area.
Dudes check is going right out to the snap on man
That atd light he has on top is an awesome light!
As a duramax diesel and Isuzu tech I have several Cleco tools that right angle 1/2 inch right angle impact is about 1500-3000 bands new. I got a study flex head air impact and a few different drive size right angles I only have to use them on older iprs and and ancient isuzu powered motor homes we get.
I just finished an 8 month mack/volvo program and i can tell you that socket drawer made me smile. I'm just dreaming of the possibilities.
Good job Ice, I am proud of your accomplishments.
very nice and well organized
You will love the stepped matco drill bits Kyle you should pick them up
Great video looks like a great set up. The way his main box is set up, doesn’t look much diff than a auto tech. He prob works more on Diesel light truck “duramax” etc & Car rather than Semi vs like Koon trucking with the autolink and huge wrenches and tools made for semi. My favorite part of any video is kept tools from dad and grandfather. I love that stuff because the sentimental Value is worth more than the whole box to some people. Thanks for sharing... Jay
You are right, I'm a heavy tech and my sockets go to 3-1/2 inch lol
jim crawford yeah you need large sizes for heavy diesel. I’m sure you have the snap on auto link or Maximas 3.0 etc for a scan tool as well right? He’s got a perfect set up tho for light diesel.
That was awesome!!!
Wow 👌 👏 👍 👌 👏👍 👌 👏
Good Evening Rustbelt Mechanic take care and have a great day 👍
❤ it
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
2nd year diesel tech student here. Thanks a bunch!
Quick! Find a different career before you're too deep!
That’s a nice setup!!
Very nice tool box tour
If your doing a open end wrench test you need to include Wright tools 2.0 grip Wright. The best imho.
Thanks for the input!
Do a tool box tour a on heavy equipment mechanic and you'll find old pawn shop tools and craftsmen tools
thats the real truth none of this glitzy barbie bullsh*t
*Awesome MATCO box!!!!!!!!!!!!! MATCO 88 Eighty8 ratchets like better due to the handle/head design*
“TELL US WERE YOU PICKED THIS BOX UP” lol probably from a Matco dealer
Good tool box setup 👍🏼
Nice setup!
Those cleco pneumatic torque ratchets are from mainly the aircraft industry. The "tuning fork" job on 737s uses 3 of them, only settings I can think of are the 80ft/lb and 120ft/lb, can't remember the third torque value.
I picked up the new brushless Snap-on impact a few weeks ago and I love it so far. Haven't had a chance to compare to Milwaukee, but there's nothing it won't do.
let me do one of the comparison for you.
milwaukee 280
Snap on +1000
just for laughs. hehe
Miguel Garcia
Yea it’s tool only price.
Adam Slack I have the Mac/dewalt brushless kit (1/2” HT and 3/8) and love them, the 3/8 is nice and stubby, great for brakes and tighter spots on cars, will take off wheels without thinking of it and the 1/2 is more powerful than our 3/4” gun. Two more guys in my shop got the Mac on deal and someone just got a Milwaukee so now we get to compare!
The snap on that we have in the line out gets bailed out all the time by my gun even after being rebuilt, although that is an 18V gun from a few years ago.
hell yeah on the flf80 thats my favorite ratchet
Nice tools, I have a orange snapon roll cart, I order all my tools in orange handle to match my box..
It's amazing how many more tools you need as an automotive tech/ diesel tech vs. how little I use in avation.
I’d like to get an aviation tech box on the channel for some variety sometime
@@RustbeltMechanic , you would see a lot of 1/4 drive, 12 point sockets, and weird screwdrivers.
You gotta see all the different too we use as auto body technicians/mechanics
Lots of safety wire tools as well lol
I see the green harbor freight punches. Idc what people say them punches are bad ass
Milwaukee, makita, Bosch, de Walt , have always been carpenters tools😎
wow nice setup
I like the flat wide hose picks. Don't know what you're using them on that you can't get them to work.
Awesome video keep it up
Good video guys 👍
I do heavy equipment all day. Cat and john deere. Etc
Not a Diesel pro..... No prolink or laptop....... Kiddy time here with this.
Should see a heavy diesel toolbox.
;)
Loose the top of the torque wrench boxes.
I use mine enough that they don't have a box anymore. They have their own drawer Shared with
Many truck mechanics do service calls, always want to keep the torque wrenches safe
i been bustin knuckles for 25 years or so with your average hardware/autoparts store tools just fine.i put a toolbox together for the cost of his first three drawers.the only difference is i also weld and do body work and paint out of my home shop and prob make triple what he makes lol its the knowledge and creativity that one posseses that impress me not a bunch of fancy tools that probably hardly get used.sockets and box wrenches welder and some basic elect tools and impact and few ods and ends with i could build you a racecar with every tool comig from harbor freight or home depot bahhaha
Neat light-duty setup. Should do heavy duty OTR or heavy equipment one too. Big boy stuff when you get to the ridiculous wrench sizes, hydraulic tools, diesel powered toolboxes, etc...
I’m thinking about reaching out and finding other professions to do just that for some more perspectives on toolbox tours.
Yeah, this wasn't really my idea of a "diesel tech" either. I work on diesel pickups and wouldn't say Im a diesel tech for that reason.
Nice cart!
I love my Snapon ratchets, but the only ratchet I have that’s not a Snapon is a 3/8’s flex head matco ratchet 12” love it one of the best besides a Snapon.
Same here the locking flex matco design is better my opinion
Me being a everyday diesel mechanic in ohio working on semis I use more standard then metric because of 9/16 3/4 and especially 15/16
Cooper Moon I’m in Cleveland myself. What parts u from?
Cooper Moon oh don’t forget 11/16 on a lot of air fittings lol
I know a lot of newer auto techs look at u sideways when u mention a “ fractional size” haha. For me I’m standard all the way if I can get away with it
@@johnnybratsch6019 west unity and depending what semis you work on if they have a wet line there are alot of 1 1/8 and 1 5/16
@@johnnybratsch6019 yep but sometimes when you do motor work you get some metric that throws you off
cordless grease gun is a muuuuust
Got a question, watched your video noticed the think you called help assist double jointed snap ring pliers been looking thru snap on catalog didn’t see them. Where can I get it at?
I agree more full size drawers for technicians
That is why you get a Snap-on box. They just make more sense
Cornwell new platinum series box has good sized drawers.
Tell this guy instead of his bent wrench for the spun cages nuts, stick the welder in there and tack the nut to the cage. It’ll never spin again, plus you get bonus heat to help loosen it up.
Pretty cool wow expensive good for you
I’m a heavy equipment mechanic. My tool box has 19.5 tires and a Diesel engine and a crane lol
People ask me all the time “why don’t you have a big snap on box?” And I’m like, I change the oil on my box every 5,000 miles lol 😂
That CLECO air tool goes for about $6,000 new. SnapOn has a new competitor in town for charging an arm and a leg...
Great video, guys. I'm a HD diesel tech, just started out my channel.
What NO jb weld?? I ALWAYS have some sitting there, in the package... never opened. but i like to have it around it makes a good glue, good for plastics, but id never use it to replace metal or a weld.
27:02 In this drawer, on a right there is something like brush. Is that tool for honing the liners?
MY SELF I BELIEVE THAT'S COMPANY TOOLS AS PER SPECIALTY PULLERS N INSTALLERS SPECIFIC TO ONE ENG.. COMPANY BUY'S IT FOR ME & THE SHOP. THEN IF I BELIEVE I CANT LIVE WITHOUT ER, THEN I PURCHASE ONE NEW FOR MY BOX... BEAUTIFUL BOX BROTHER!!!
The new Milwaukee fuel ratchet actually has more torque than the snap on one. Just by a little
That Cleco is actually called a nut runner.
Wilton makes the best hammers hands down. Nice vid
Been pulling wrenches on big gear for like a decade.... I have the lower half of a 54 inch box only and a 36 inch chest with cases of 3/4 and 1" sockets.. this guy must be working on stuff from another planet to need all that gear... and all snap on and Matco too? More money than the Alberta oil patch in the US apparently
Big Box Wrench, thank god im not alone I was beginning to worry I was messing up. Probably not even a fraction of the tools here but been in business years now
The owner of the box is patient nd humble he didn’t even get to show off his box rust belt hogged the whole tour
Well he’s definitely not gonna have any spark plug sockets.
Not many lol
Ha ha true. Although back in the day international made an engine that would start on gas until it warmed up then would switch to diesel. Seen one in action on an old crawler tractor. Legit spark plugs/wires/distributor on one side and diesel injection pump on the other. It’s been many a moon but if memory serves I believe the old timer told me that was internationals solution to cold start issues prior to modern glow plugs, or hell maybe prior to glow plugs period, not sure. I’ve got a 2010 Cat C15 that has a single spark plug on it for the emissions shit. Not nearly as cool as the old international, but a spark plug nonetheless.
@@brycejcox I just looked this up, that is freakin sweet!
@@brycejcox Very cool. We rescued a small dozer that was at the bottom of a pond after it filled up while digging it. the dozer sat at the bottom for over twenty years . It has been many years since we did this but I remember changing fluids and drying out the pony motor. When that started , the diesel was only minutes behind. I believe it was an international. Just incredible. I still know where it is and it has not been run for thirty years and the son of my friend will not sell it as of a few years ago. I really want to buy that as well as the farm truck I learned to drive in when I lied and said I could drive and the farmer called my bluff and said hop in. The truck was a15 speed diesel and the stake body was over stacked with hay bales. Barely made it out of the field without taking the telephone wires out and dumping the truck. So many awesome farm memories. I went to many years of school for a PhD in chemical engineering and I just opened a vintage chopper and metric cruiser shop with fabrication and tuning. Go Figure.
Some medium/heavy truck shops have spark plug sockets because you can get some medium duty trucks with gassers. Some of the old ones were also gas pots.
What's in the case at the back of the screwdriver drawer behind the the torx set?
Nice video 👌
My hand impact came from my grandpa who was a machinist. I think it's a right of passage
Mine came from my great grandpa
If you can't flag more than 40 hrs a week it's a waste of money
I'm all for getting something done with best bang for the buck for the buck items. The thing I think some people are missing is that this guy is the owner of the business. I bet his accountant told him you need to speed x amount on tools every year or you'll have to pay a higher tax rate. I'm super cheap but if I was in that position I would have tons of the high dollar stuff too.
I’m sure there’s definitely a point of tax spending in there. Much rather spend the money on tools than give it to Uncle Sam
Yeah the difference between the Matco and snap on pick is huge!!!! Lol
I wanna know more about that wheel lock remover kit in that bottom left drawer
Nice tool collections! I am happy with my DeWalt, Tekton, Gearwrench, and my "cheap" Chinese made Harbor Freight tools at less than 1/25 of the costs of Snap and Mac/Matco.
Was really hoping to like this guy, let the box owner talk, and get your SnapOn and Milwaukee impact differences figured out.
I believe Flir makes Snap Ons thermal imagers?
Nice set up though, have to make a tool box video of my own now, lol.
please tell me the purpose i need a god damn flir camera wtf just some bs snap crap trying to sell
If you're going to get a thermal imager you should just go straight to Flir
Check out dynamic tools d010029 3/8 flex head flarenut socket they have them in standard and metric really good sets and the prices are good also check amazon for them definitely a good buy
No super glue? What does he do when he gets cut?
very cool
34:56 when he was talking about a Milwaukee impact wrench and it was a snap on!!😂😂 Honest mistake.
You should do a auto body technician box tour
Nice set up.. I do diesel and automotive.. gets pricey..
