Working on a car can be intimidating, but with the right tools, you'd be surprised by how much you can do on your own. After tackling many automotive DIY projects over the years, I have acquired quite a few tools. In this video, I'll go over the tools that I feel are most essential, especially for beginners looking to do their first project.
There is nothing more annoying than being 4 hours deep into a repair and realizing that you are missing the tool for the next step. make sure that you have al the tools you need BEFORE you start your project!

What tools do you use the most?
Justin Buice: The ones my dealer uses 😁😁😁 I've been forced out of the DIY business for about a year and a half. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into DIY!
Justin Buice oil filter wrench, oil changes are very regular for me.
Hi bud, love the vids, I have a question: my 15 plate 3 series came with 16" wheels can I put 19" rims on and if so will is grind the tyres if a have two people in the back. Hope you can answer this also will it effect the auto gearbox on it. Thank in advance.
@@pvfa38 You can use 19" wheels. I have 19x9.5 in the rear with +35 offset and they dont rub at all. And my car is lowered
Torque wrench...because goo'n'tight is not to spec!
Don't worry, you start off changing your own oil and end up repairing every single thing on the car because most mechanics straight up screw you and even do a bad job.
They do a crappy job alright !!!!
Yes,start young,buy/collect quality tools as needed,get a tool box,then a bigger tool box,save many thousands,learn while doing,keeps ya from having to tell off bad n crooked "mechanics", keeps ya off the streets.
Yes indeed, even worse when mechanics see your 10 yr old car in great condition they just can't let that go by without doing some serious damage to the car, recently went to dealer now turns out i need to change Valve cover gasket , which they ended up tighten up the bolts too tight ended up leaking from one side and of course the cover is made out of plastic, soo yes please keep away from mechanics or dealership... They just want money they get a commission for every part that is being changed and the labor
3 things with 1 common feature. A magnetic flash light or light bar, a magnetic wand (especially if you are a new DIY'r) and a magnetic catch plate for nuts and bolts you may have to reuse. Great simple video man👍
The fact that I lose the 10mm every-time is just so hard to accept😁
I have a bmw and your videos been helping out since day 1 with the car, keep it up bro
Glad I could help :)
Same here! Now I am going to school for BMW Tech and I'm working at a local Bimmer dealer :)
I didn’t notice how much I needed a set of picks until I got them recently and I’ve been working on cars for over a decade. They’re sooo useful for electrical connectors, BMW coolant pipe clips, opening plastic lids, and a variety of other uses.
Excellent Justin. Especially like your highlighting how essential the use of jack stands are!
Simply put, there is NOTHING on your car as valuable as your own LIFE or LIMBS.
Old school mechanic here, honest video. My opinion, on tools for I am guessing for beginners. And kinda on a budget, for complete mechanic socket set, I would go with dewalt 204pc mechanic tool set. For a complete set you get 1/2,3/8, & 1/4, sockets, you get allen, T-torx, socket set, you get 9 extension set, metric & SAS wrenches, & allen keys. Another tool is a low profile jack from Harbor freight, along with rhino ramps, usually the rhino ramps come in a pair set, I would suggest to get 4 ramps to support the car properly, another tool, jack stands. At least 2 pair. Also jack pucks I suggest a set of 4. So you won't damage your sides underneath your bmw car when lifting. Another tool a ob2 reader or Carly app. A good set of wrenches, pick tools, or hook tools , and plastic pry tools so you won't damage the paint on your car or other parts of your car when removing a part. Oil tool remover, I would suggest Ares brand oil tool remover ,along with Ares magnetic spark plug socket with built in extension. Last but not least, a magnetic flash light, or a hood light bar that hooks underneath your hood and lights up your engine bay. These are just my opinions, but cool video 😊
A set of etorx sockets, especially if your first diy is the oil filter housing gasket...nothing worse than waiting to do a job bcuz you don't have a part/tool...universal joint adapters recommended too...but good vid of the basics👍
My favorite is the foldable head ratchet. I have one from Gearwrench that has a rubber handle that I love and I have it in the different sizes. It is a knuckle saver! Also most of my sockets are in 3/8 and metric 6 point btw which is what you need most of the time. Don't bother buying the 12 point sockets or the larger like 1/2 in wrenches. For those of you learning and just getting into it. Also, spend the money on good useful tools, don't be cheap, you'll regret it later when you start buying the good ones later on and you spend double on the same tools.
I love you tube and thank you and all the DIYselfers who have helped me build confidence in my ability to repair things and the money I have saved. One thing that makes me feel good after I finish a DIY repair is the feeling that I can do it.
Superb video. If I had the time to work on my car, and had a garage, i'd definitely get some of these, but i have limited resources for the time being.
I’m so happy I found Justin buice! He’s the whole reason I bought my bmw e90!! I’ve had it for 4 weeks so far and it’s hella fun and great to work on when you have a guide like Justin, keep killing it with the videos brother!! New sub!🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥
Good advice and straight to the point. Thank you!
I’ve been saving videos to start my DIY tool set and found yours which has it all in one place. Practical advice, thank you!
Great list!
Awesome overview Justin. Two additional things i'll add, LED light and wheel chocks.
Awesome video as always bro 🙏🏽 very informative 🙏🏽
Hey Justin another great Video! They have helped me out a lot with my BMW E91! Since you've asked what other Tools to have I think especially when working on the floor is one of those cheap gym mats to lay on. It is more comfortable and you don't get yourself all dirty.
I've got the same 3 ton Pittsburgh floor jack. Love love love it. Makes the job so much easier! Everyone should get one imo.
They are a must-have for sure
Especially for BMWs, a decent scan tool. I use a Foxwell NT510, but there are others that might work even better. Even before you get a SES light, you can do live monitoring to make sure everything is functioning properly, such as your fuel trims or O2 readings, before something fails. However, when you get an SES light, you can get the direct BMW code along with the description, rather than a generic OBD code. Some googling around and 9/10 you can fairly quickly determine the source of a code/codes.
Thanks, missing a video like this for a long time. Gona start doing things on my car. 👍
Huge fan of your videos my man! I’m an auto technician, been in the business for a few years now, so I know everything you talk about in your videos but watching your videos is actually pretty fun! Huge thumbs up on the channel. 👍🏽
I appreciate that!
Good helpful video for those who are new to diy stuff. I would recommend having a multi meter also. Just knowing that the electricity gets to the right parts/wires/switches etc. of the car is quite convenient.
Thank you for sharing. Great video
Quite a few things I've bought and used for the past ten years. Yellow oil catch pan, 2t floor jack, stands. Eventually got a longer ratchet for oil changes and recently a 1l Gatorade bottle that screws into my engine for oil changes (Subaru!)
really nice video man thanks!
When I got the FRS that floor jack was the BEST investment.
Great content thank you Justin!
Very informative video! I would also include an air compressor and an impact gun or just an electric impact gun to help with removing/replacing nuts and bolts!
Thanks a ton! It is an wonderful video.
Hi Justin. I use ramps for my oil changes. They’re safe and efficient. Thanks for the great videos.
I might pick up a set of those
The car jack is a need for sure! If you don't buy any other tool get a good jack. It will help you more than you think if you wanna work on a car.
Screwdrivers and pliers are also a must!
Buying jack stand and torque wrench after watching this. Thanks Justin. Always an inspiration 🤗😉
Nice!
Great job👍👍👍
A good flashlight with a magnet/hook can definitely come in handy when you're under the car or deep in the engine bay. Also, you can never have too many rags/shop towels. Great video as always Justin!!!
Thanks!
Next video maybe you can speak about the safety of the car! I have trouble to fit the fire extinguisher above the sit! Nice video 👍
Great video, would also mention a BMW scan tool 👍
Thanks! Those come in handy
If you are working on BMW's I would also recommend getting a thin wall spark plug socket. Regular sockets are too wide to fit in the Cylinder the spark plugs are in for some BMW models.
Yup looks like I need more tools now!
Nice video... 👍. I’ve always heard u should use a small block of wood on the jack mounting area when jacking up the car.
Always impressed with the time, thought, and skill you put into your videos!
Thanks!
Vids are helpful as always
multimeter is important and very useful as well
A cheap but powerful impact wrench is a must to speed up most diy garage work.
Telescopic magnet to reach the screws and bolts which at some point you will drop in a place you can't reach.
great job
Hey Justin I've seen sooo many of your vids and several of them involve your father doing repairs or roadtrips. Talk with your wife first to get her input, but I would love to see you do a vid with your mom. Take her out to lunch, treat her to an afternoon with her favorite son-----and blow her wig off with your acceleration. I'll bet you get lots of positive feedback from your subscribers (as it would give them ideas to do the same) but also score big points with your mom and pops will be proud of you.
Good shit bro
good advice here. I have that same low profile jack, it weighs a ton!
Yeah it's pretty heavy!
Video came out awesome babe!
Thanks!
Thanks!!
You forgot to mention the breaker bar :) Nice vid, keep it up!
Thanks! Yeah especially for when the dealership over torques the wheel lugs!
Have you done a DIY for newbs on oil changes? I have a 2009 328i xdrive
My car arrived yesterday, today this video is on my feed... love it
Nice!
yeah man! I just got a F31 316D. first BMW ever... your videos and Kies's ones are like my bible now, please keep the coming, cheers from Czech Republic
Flahlight, pole magnet, pack of lint free cloth, and paper towels.
Awesome!
hi, is there a video for how to use the jack tool safely for oil change, tire change etc you have?
A breaker bar is nice to have. Cheap tool from Harbor Freight. Helpful breaking free the over torqued wheel lugs from the dealership.
I hate when they over torque them
How very true Paul
So there gloves come in "handy". Got it 😁
Hi can u show where the floor Jack should be put under BMW, please.
i would have added so kind of cloth set or something to wipe out any spills
You inspired me and I just replaced my BMW F30 N20 timing chain in my driveway.
Nice!!
How many miles ? Thought the chains last almost a lifetime
boboprime2000 106,000 miles.... The plastic timing chain guides break and the chain either jumps a tooth or breaks.
@@invisiblenolonger501 oh yeah forgot about the 4cyls ...
Broken timing chain Check it out.... czcams.com/video/Mli1-RZyRjE/video.html
I HIGHLY recommend a code reader especially for BMWs. I have an Autel reader I bought for $70 online. They are good for finding misfires on specific cylinders and some can even erase fault codes. It will give you a good idea of what's wrong with your car and save you money on getting a diagnosis from a shop or just from "throwing parts" to fix the issue.
Definitely a code reader. I recommend BimmerGeeks ProTool for E90+, I've coded everything I need to code. It can register injectors, batteries, give you codes and the descriptions of each code, and is a direct (mobile) replacement for INPA
So basically an OBD2 reader ? Why one for 70 bucks ?
@@E9X330 because it's cost effective and can read manufacturers specific codes. Also has a multimeter and has live data. It's a good tool for people that have never used a reader before or can't afford a more advanced reader.
@@austingfellers9112 No I mean aren't there much cheaper readers than 70$ ?
@@E9X330 yes there are. But you get what you pay for such as some cheaper readers can't clear codes or display manufacturers codes. If you have Facebook, message me: Austin Gfellers I can send you several link for cheaper readers.
One more I'd never live without... if you have German cars (i.e. lug bolts instead of nuts), that threaded spike that helps you put the wheel back on. Best $10 I've ever spent on a tool.
I'll check that out. I've looked into converting them to wheel studs like other cars have.
@@justinbuice It's basically like a threaded shaft, smooth where the wheel hangs. You thread it in then hang the wheel on it while you put in the other four bolts. Then you take it out to complete. This has decreased my swearing each spring and fall when I change 12 winters on/off our cars.
@@djcsr can you post a link ?
At what point do you jack the car up from
Cool!
Did not know that e90 had a jack point in the front under the engine. Is that safe? Before i had a e34 and jacked it up in front center and that metal bar started to bend....
I have been playing with cars for a very long time, toy cars and full size but my laziness makes me give it to someone else to do it. The one thing that pisses me off is that most people don't Torque wheels and I have to tell the dealer off because of it. What else do they over torque ??? Dealer not worth the money I give up ready to get dirty again just plugged my puncture myself. LOL
Can you please make a video about the interior door handles melting. I’ve been facing this issue with my E90
I can look into that :) mine are peeling too
I started wearing clear safety glasses cuz I almost got used coolant in my eyes doing an oil change once. Rubber hose decided to burst on me while under the car.
hi JB
my e90 320i 2011（made in huachen china） has had problems recently.
something about engine because the engine light on,it's yellow,kind of half of the image is filled in you know?
error code=283D and other nummber i forgot
Garage worker told me it's Solenoid valve (SOLV)/vanos solenoid (i don't know) broken down will cost about 180 dollar may be
and now i want diy
I watched several videos，But there are still some questions,
Is 8mm 10mm enough? and what is 283D exactly mean and What caused it?
thx
A cheap odb2 sensor to preform maintainable scans
Another thing you need is time
Great video but I wish you would of included a list of all the necessary Torx sizes you need for a bmw.
A torx set has about every torx you'll need. For an E90, T30s and T20s are the most common from my experiences
T-15 also for the headlights. If you get a set that has t-10 through t-40 it should cover just about any DIY
@@justinbuice Thank you! :)
@@valant963 Thanks man! :)
I don't even have a BMW, but always enjoy your videos! Always great info, and well shot videos. 👍
Thank you!
Do you have wheel spacers? Random question haha
No spacers :)
Reverse torx . Bmw has that everywhere. Suspension and need engine
Breaker bar
Harbor Freight is amazing for 95% of tools
En dónde consigo todos los accesorios que utilizas para el mantenimiento!

@@AngeloGuardia gracias
How do I know what engine is in my bmw?
Look it up on google. Type in the year and if it’s a 328, 535, etc. it’ll tell you
JUSTIN BUICE great video bro
Thanks!
@@justinbuice Keep the good man ever since i have subscribed i have always been very satisfied where your DIY's. I have a bmw and i learned to do DIY from you. It would be so nice if we ever got to meet up. 😎
Nice info man i have a 328xdrive i have to change my rear breaks i can get all the bolts off but i cant get the wheel off its stuck like crazy i kicked and used a hammer but im not able to get it free any other
ideas ?
Rc Watching spray some WD-40 where the bolts used to be and let it sit for a while. Then use a sledge hammer and tap it from behind on the tire part of the wheel. Try not to miss and hit your rims though!
That happens to me sometimes. you can spray wd-40 or some other penetrating oil on the hub. I usually end up just kicking it for a while until it breaks free.
@@justinbuice alright cool thanks ill try that 👍
@@dillon5938 ill try thanks
I would add a Electrical tester
Must have if you own a BMW
A Milwaukee electric ratchet. Not a need, but it's a great investment and a huge help.
You forgot DEEZ NUTS
Hah gattem
LMAO 😂 🔩🔩
The best way to own any vehicle, is wrenching 🔧your own way around the engine, otherwise mechanics will bankrupt you.
Ben Kioko nowadays cars are very popular, and running into maintenance issues is a must, mechanics are very busy, so there’s usually a long line of vehicles getting serviced and they might not even get to yours the next day, so having an arsenal of tools, and knowing how to get stuff done is the better cheapest route to go, it’s better than waiting for someone else to do it, and they charge big money for labor, that you yourself could do, especially with so much information on diy available.
Flashlight
Naw just give me a flat head, 10mm socket a case of beer 🍺
I should have said buy a hand full of 10mm sockets for when the others get lost lmao
🤣🤣🤣 very funny
"gorilla strength" ! LOOOL ))))
Eye protection... Who like rust or chemicals falling in their eyes 😳
