Most definitely! I do have much more extensions in my other box, will be doing a tour of that soon so that y'all can see those as well. Definitely love extensions and adapters
I really appreciate your candid and no frills approach to this video. The fact that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the job done and still have a thorough and respectable set of tools with a mix of high end , mid quality and bargain tools is the way to go. Cheers!
Imagine what all those sockets would cost if it was all snap on or Mac! I don’t have nearly that many kinds of sockets, but I’m slowly building up my set. I have a lot of the same brands that you have for impact sockets and swivels and such. Great video man 👍
Agreed, when it comes to sockets and wrenches, I couldn’t afford to buy the tool truck brands nor have I found the urge or need to, the ones i have have done fine for less than fraction of the cost. I do wish they would make the cost more cheaper for the guys that buy them for their work, it’s already a tough industry as it is. Thanks again for watching!
Good setup man I had thousands invested in the tool trucks over the years but I've slowly evolved out of the shop in the last few years and found myself Wrenching on industrial machines & equipment, now I'm jumping into other trades. Pulling 30 hours in the auto world, about 30 in the remodeling world and 30 in the industrial world and in some cases I earn more elsewhere than I did in the shop People hate it, but tool trucks are setting you treat yourself to, not something that you need these days You want some good USA for a fair price, Wright & Proto are solid options with Klein /Channellock for hand tools
All good recommendations thanks. I loved using Klein when I was briefly in the electrical and hvac field. Other than that since all of my work I do is on my own at my own time I’ve just purchased what I’ve either needed at the moment or what I’ve really wanted but yea I won’t buy directly from a truck plus I don’t have that option, so I just find deals that are much better than retail and go from there
Proto are unquestionably the most durable and well made American mechanics tools. You want to work on a Honda? Buy Snap on. You want turn a wrench on industrial and commercial equipment? Buy Proto. I'd like to see one of these stress tests on a Proto ratchet, someone is liable to get butt hurt.
You've got a excellent set up young man. I've owned so many brands in my day, including snap on and Mac and I can tell you, the quality the Orient is pumping out is just as good as American made now. I started to notice this about 15 years ago. I would take Icon and gear wrench and compare them to anyone now. This was not so in the 80's and 90's.
Great well thought out tool trolley. Shows what tool a pro do his job with. Nothing in your box I would consider 'cheap junk', rather very well selected more affordable choices that still stand up in a professional setting.
22:30.. It I grab a few Genius tools years ago when no one really knew what they were.. now they are fairly well known and can get expensive.. nice come up on that 3/4 inch Genius impact set...👍
Tub o towels will be your best friend, they clean very well and don’t give that dried out look like brake cleaner would do. And for sockets I hose em down with wd40 every so often
Awesome! Yea the service cart is big upgrade from the tool cart, much more room for more organization. I went from a tool cart as well and the tool cart always got over packed when working on a car
Awesome! Just checked it out, I have the 3/8 master impact set currently but glad you mentioned their site as they have a lot of individuals for sale as well which is great to complete the sets
I gpt lucky woth snap on sockets got a 1500 pound socket set with extensions and universal socket, with 3/8, 1/2 and 1/4 shallow and deep for 500 pound. All im saying is unless your just doing services all day nothing extreme theres really no point spending shit ton of cash on snap on or mac
Haha yea, the gearwrenches I have are older Chinese made set I got for like $60 new for both MM and SAE. Upgrading may be a “strong” choice of word more like “change over” haha but still on the fence on what I want to go to, time will tell or depending on deal I come across
I see you have a lot of impact sockets . Is there any reason to buy chrome anymore because if I’m working in my garage I’m going to grab something cordless because I grab a hand ratchet
Honestly, once I started using cordless tools, I just mainly use impact sockets now, the only time I use the chromes are on the occasions where the bolt is recessed into a tight area where only a thinner wall chrome socket would fit as opposed to an impact socket, it’s pretty much the same with wrenches for me as well. Given that time is such a commodity, using power tools I just started acquiring more impact sockets to cut down time that I’m working on something.
Some are Ernst and Tekton(which is just a rebranded Ernst) keep an eye out on Amazon used section they’re still brand new most of the time just returns and are like half the cost
The parrot pliers haven’t used to much, so can’t feedback yet, I got them with my rewards so more of an impulse buy. The gear wrench snap rings I would honestly get something with more finer prongs as they don’t fit all snap rings I’ve found only bigger ones. I used them on some hub snap rings and they did fine, but I ended up getting some snap on ones for a deal just for overall use as smaller snap rings as the gear wrenches one wouldn’t fit and two they’re all angled so once you get fully compressed in they can slip.
Rookie question but did you use self drilling or self tapping screws to fasten the magnetic strip? If you used self tapping did you drill a hole first? Thanks!

So get a strip of painters tape long enough to mark between the holes used to mount the handle, then mark where the holes are, take off the tape and move it to the side tray and use that as a template to mark where to drill on the side table that way you’ll know where to drill 😊
@@JoeyMx112 Tool grid, love it, a bit pricey as they charge tremendously for shipping. But you can basically setup and reorganize in whatever fashion you want. They have all kinds of holders for different tools as well
During the last couple weeks i have watched a whole bunch of toolbox videos and only two ones make sense to me. Your cart seems to be very well organized and made to work, not for posing. I don't know why it has become a contest for measuring dick size on how big and expensive someones toolbox is. Of course it's CZcams so extreme stuff is on show more than in real world but come on... The other box that stood out was from a motorcycle guy who called himself rookie and had been working on his tools for only eight months. I really liked his setup because he had all the necessary ones, essentials, and not that much duplicates or extra stuff.
I greatly appreciate the comment. I've tried to build this service cart up just purely for work purposes and what I do out of it. There are some tools I indulge in as a way to stress relief, and I've identified that due to my passion for tools in general, and working on cars is sort of my sanctuary for my sanity. So with that yea, I've found that with tools and tool boxes, and the whole social media thing can be financially dangerous, so I try to separate the two, and make sure that function is priority when I make decisions.

Great tool box tour man. Looks really well thought out 👌
Appreciate it 💯
A 'real world' cart!
Not all tool truck stuff, and it looks like you purchased as you needed to, and not all at once.
Sensible.
Thanks for the tour
Thanks!
Man, I want that red box. Great set-up!
Yea it was a nice well built box, but ended up getting a bigger box since it stayed stationary most of the time
Great set up. You should look into more wobble extensions especially different lengths.
Most definitely! I do have much more extensions in my other box, will be doing a tour of that soon so that y'all can see those as well. Definitely love extensions and adapters

@@kdtxtooldad
👍
Nice setup. I like have you have all three tiers of sockets. Comes really handy. Most people don't understand that how handy mid lengths are
Thanks! And agreed! Each socket length from deep to stubby have their places depending on the scenarios
Just found your channel, thats an awesome setup. Just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate it!
Great vid! You made great use with the top socket layout! The whole cart is quite the setup!
Thanks a bunch!
KDTXTool Garage.. Nice toolbox tour brother. Nice setup too. I seen a couple things I might have to get....
Thanks 👍

Don’t apologize for how you spend your money. Thank you for the video.
Appreciate it 💯💯💯 most definitely
Honestly never seen so many sockets and adapters in one vid
Lmao I admit I have a problem
22:30.. It I grab a few Genius tools years ago when no one really knew what they were.. now they are fairly well known and can get expensive..
nice come up on that 3/4 inch Genius impact set...👍
Thanks! Agreed gotta keep an eye out on those types of deals
Those look like surgical tools as clean as the are!
Tub o towels will be your best friend, they clean very well and don’t give that dried out look like brake cleaner would do. And for sockets I hose em down with wd40 every so often
Sheeeesh. This was a good one! Happy new year :)
Thanks! And happy new years to you as well!!
Nice video! I just picked up the black 34” service cart. In the process of moving all my Snap-on hi-viz tools into it before making a video.
That’s awesome can’t wait to see a video of it!
Nice setup, thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!🙏
You should use the 25% coupon at harbor freight to buy tub o towels before it ends on 1/2/2023
Yea gonna try to swing by there tomorrow if I have a chance
Yeah you can get Tub O Towels fairly cheap at Walmart too.
Great set up, Brother, Happy new Year!
Thanks and happy new years to you too!
Hopefully I can upgrade to that newer U.S. general tool cart from my five drawer U.S. general I have and this gives me a good idea on how to set it up
Awesome! Yea the service cart is big upgrade from the tool cart, much more room for more organization. I went from a tool cart as well and the tool cart always got over packed when working on a car
The milwaukee Shockwave imoact sets are on sale at northern tool I just picked up a set, just a mention in case your interested.
Awesome! Just checked it out, I have the 3/8 master impact set currently but glad you mentioned their site as they have a lot of individuals for sale as well which is great to complete the sets
Nice setup bro! 🙌🏻
Appreciate it!
Hey, what brand were those extra long bent needle nose pliers? Great setup btw, I love that cart.
Titan Tools and thanks! 💯
Where did you find the soft mat for the side tray? Great setup btw!!
Bought it from harbor freight, it comes in a roll, just cut to spec
I gpt lucky woth snap on sockets got a 1500 pound socket set with extensions and universal socket, with 3/8, 1/2 and 1/4 shallow and deep for 500 pound. All im saying is unless your just doing services all day nothing extreme theres really no point spending shit ton of cash on snap on or mac
Did you say you have Gearwrench wrenches and would like to "upgrade" to ICON?
Haha yea, the gearwrenches I have are older Chinese made set I got for like $60 new for both MM and SAE. Upgrading may be a “strong” choice of word more like “change over” haha but still on the fence on what I want to go to, time will tell or depending on deal I come across
Where did you get the gray trays that fit deep, semi deep and shallow all in one? There awesome and I love your tool box set up congratulations
Those are Hansen socket trays
Awesome tool box. What side tray is that? i was thinking of getting one for my box as well
It’s also US general side tray from harbor freight

Those blue and red socket holders that you have your expansion and shallow sets on, those are great. What brand are they.
Mine suck

Hey was just wondering where the side tray was from.
Side tray is US general from harbor freight
How are the icon parrot pliers and the gear wrench snap ring pliers? is it worth to buy? Great video! Happy new year!

Genius DI-415M, that’s the part number, I ordered mine last year through Amazon, looks like only website I saw carrying them is toolsource
@@kdtxtooldad thanks bro. I’ll keep looking
I have the same roll cart, but haven’t figured out a way to install the side table like you have. How did you do it.
So get a strip of painters tape long enough to mark between the holes used to mount the handle, then mark where the holes are, take off the tape and move it to the side tray and use that as a template to mark where to drill on the side table that way you’ll know where to drill 😊
Who makes that socket holder
Which one are you referring to?
@@kdtxtooldad on top. It’s black with holes in it. It looks like you can move and mount the sockets in any order
