- Connor is a full service automotive technician with not only the skills, but the tools to back up any job thrown his way. I was stoked when he invited me out for a tour, and when I showed up, I wasn’t disappointed to say the least. Connor, thank you so much for your hospitality! If you enjoyed Connor’s tour, give him a LIKE! As always, thanks for watching!

As a DIY enthusiast who’s constantly building his at home set up, I freaking love these videos. the only drawback is the damage they do to the wallet 😂
I’m glad you enjoy the videos! Also - I have the same problem with the wallet! 😅
Every time, it never fails. Several purchases after watching 🤷🏽♂️
Yea true, however the tools you buys make you money
@@delusion_904 true actually. When you have better tools, even as a DIY’er… you can save money by doing all the repairs yourself. And money saved is money earned
Harbor Freight man. I have harbor freight to snapon and I abuse the hell out if my 3/8s icon sockets and they've lasted about 2 years and still runnin
As a tech who’s only been in the industry a year or so I love these videos. Please don’t stop they are so informative if I wanna know what to buy or what not to buy. Thank you sir
I’m glad you enjoy them! I have no plans to stop 👍
My advice to you after 20 years is that a tool or item is only as good as it's warranty, the guy in the video spent 5x as much money as he needed to for re-branded tools(they're all made in China now even Snap-On). I have watched countless newbies go into life-long debt just to have everything name brand, don't make this mistake. The bearded guy in the video will be 50 before he pays all of that off.
Huge shout-out to everyone that's shared their setups so far!!!
I can’t thank them enough! Thanks Corey 🤘
Interesting to see use case adjustments to what people use, how they store it and what they prioritize. I have a lot of tools, mostly hyper organized in foam. The funny thing about tools I always tell people when they ask why I have so many is "I'd only buy what I needed if I knew in advance what that was". So in my case, I tend to be value driven with what I buy, I beat my tools hard (everything has 3 uses to me) and expect to break them. Anything I break I buy a much higher quality version. Oddly though, the cheap stuff these days holds up INSANELY well, I rarely break anything so who knows.
Agreed. As someone who owns multiple snap on ratchets, and turns wrenches every day, it's not worth spending that much. I abuse my budget tools and rarely break anything.
That extendable pry bar is made by gearwrench aswell. For anyone wantin to save over half
If you want to take that a step further you can get almost the same thing from harbor freight

Good call keeping tools in drawers instead of cases. It's easier to find stuff and faster to grab and put away and saves a ton of space.
Nice box, awesome tools, and another great and interesting mechanic Connor. I love Connor's resourcefulness.
Excellent video, love Connor's box. That add on top drawer makes a huge difference. I used to have a Matco full bank cart in the silver vein finish it was great because it was so durable and never showed how dirty it was. Excellent video Dustin 👍👍
Thanks James! Yeah I really think that finish resists scratches a lot better than a regular powder coating on most boxes.
Sweet set up Connor! That brake bleeder set is awesome! Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Great tour and thanks for sharing. This was like taking a tour down candy lane.
I got the extendable pry bar gearwrench branded... I found it at Homedepot on the clearance shelf for 20 bucks.
Nice! That’s one hell of a deal!
There’s so many cool ideas here. I also don’t like blow molded cases and I stack my pliers on each other. I never knew about those Husky dividers at 11;02. That would save a ton of space, stop clutter, and keep stuff separate with complete adjustment.
Yeah I’ve never seen anyone take a fuel pressure tester out of the blow mold before so I thought that was kind of cool. And yeah! - those dividers are something I’m going to invest in!
@@ToolBoxTourfor some reason I looking in hd site and can't find em I type the hmdrwdiv but nada I even have your vid on TV paused for the sku and on my note ultra to type my comment 😅 and look on hd

Gearwrench also offers that adjustable pry bar. I have that one and a bigger one and paid less for both than Mac's list price on the small one. Looks like it's exactly the same.
Good to know! Thanks for watching!
Matco doesnt make any tools. They are all rebrands
Fun wow. Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Thank you for the video & your time Friend! E P I C!
✌🕶🔧
Thank you for watching Alfred!
That Matco tool box is freaking nice! I highly doubt that I will EVER own one, not at $15K, maybe a used one someday. I am in the market for either a bigger box or a tool cart. Have not yet decided on what way to go. Thanks for all the tool box tours man! I have really enjoyed watching them.
Another great video 👍. This channel has cost me so much money. Every week I buy something I see. 😂
Haha thanks for watching Ryan
I'm going to start sharing your videos on FB if that's OK. I am an HVAC mechanic, so most of my work is in the field; but I still freaking love shop set ups.
Will you please start to do videos of various types of field mechanics' truck setups? Like heavy equipment mechanics, HVAC, etc?
Share away! I would love to do some HVAC and other setups. I have quite the line up, so I’m working through them as I speak. Thanks for watching Jason!
I got one of those organizer trays he has in the cart from a ps pump rebuild kit. It works great
Recycling ftw!
Like magnetic emblem thing. I was same way . I started collecting monster /nos rockstar lids and glued magnetic for all blueprints to keep on machines
Really nice setup! Thanks for sharing! I would appreciate it if you would put all the links on the left side because when they are on the right the subscribe button sometimes blocks the price. You make the nicest tool box tours on you tube!
Ohh! Good to know! Thanks for pointing that out. I only put them on the right when the left side is really bright and hard to see the numbers, but I will figure something else out. Thanks for watching!
Gearwrench also has the same indexable prybar, bought mine off amazon for $120ish
Few have seen tool organization like the USAF operational maintenance wing flying multiple aircraft including the all titanium SR-71 Blackbird.
A locked tool crib will contain all the roll away tool boxes and portable line kit tool boxes as well a lock "chit box".
A tool monitor assigned to work in the tool crib signs out tool boxes to workers.
Each individual will be assigned ten chits with with a number stamped in them hung on a row of hooks next to their name.
Upon every turnover of the custody of each tool box a full inspection will be made with a inventory list.
Each and every separate tool and tool bit will be inscribed with the number of the tool kit box.
Each and every tool will be set in a cut out of neoprene foam inside the tool box drawers going a quick accurate way to see if a tool is missing.
The inventory of each item in the tool kits and tool crib boxes will be inspected at each shift change and signed for if accepted by the incoming tool crib monitor as well as a monthly inventory update at squadron command level.
Before a portable tool kit is removed from the shop it will be inspected. Upon completion of a task on the aircraft the tool box will be inventoried again. Upon return to the shop the tool box will be inspected again.
If it is found that a tool is missing, maintenance control will be immediately contacted and all flight-line activities will be halted, supervisors notified and personal with supervisors will back track every move conducting a full inspection until the tool is found.
Covering up an incident of a lost tool could result in criminal charges.
Each time a tool is removed from it box by another worker than who has signed custody of the kit must retrieve a chit from the tool room and place it in the cut out where the tool rest.
In the case of the SR-71 titanium aircraft, full duplicate tool kits specific for use on specific aircraft must be used. This is due to cross contamination of corrosive elements used on other aircraft that could contaminate the titanium. For example, an apex screw driver tip used on aircraft with cadmium plated screws and then used on titanium screws will cause the titanium to become "Poisoned" or cracked due use at elevated temperatures at mach 3+ flight.
It sounds complicate, it is, but once the system is established it is critical to operations and national security.
Dan, what a comment to leave!! That’s so interesting to hear how incredibly careful they are with tool inventory (which I guess they have to). Another subscriber commented on another video about some of the strict tool inventory policies while working in the military. He mentioned new mechanics would get hazed by hiding a tool from their box so they would have to shut everything down.
Wave drive Capri are just as good as Snap On wrench’s!
Sees any tool..
WHOOOAAAAAA
I do like the setup of that toolbox
Seeing so many guys saying “bigger wrenches” when referring to like 1 1/4” is kinda funny to me. My set goes from 1/4” to 2” without any size skips. And I use those bigger sizes more then I ever thought I would.
Me too, but guess what I needed last week? A gotdamn 2-3/16" combo wrench. Guess I will be going up to 3" now. Might just get sluggers. What you think?
Sweet video bubbas...
Love the video, from a tool nut👍🏻🇺🇲
If your ever around New Jersey I can show you some crazy setup!!
whats the name of the magnetic sockets in the foam storage
23:15 what's up with the glowing plutonium?
Put a non slip mat on top of the magnet tray.
I can't find the husky magnetic drawer thingy I srarch the sky you share but nothing comes up 😢
Just go to Homedepot.com and type in HMDRWDIV in the search. A 6 pack of the magnetic dividers will pop up 👍
do you have a part number for those streamlight bite caps?
It’s in the video, but it’s 660045 made by streamlight 👍
The matco wrenches are the same as ez red, mountain ,and platinum
How far do you travel for these tours? Or are they all just around your local area?
I have only done 1 out of state toolbox tour so far, but I have plans for more 👍
8:10 I super glued mine and then caulked it and they don’t move around at all anymore
Seeing all these massive tool carts explains why the Big O mechanic quoted me $1600 to change 2 brake rotors and brake pads. 😂
It doesn’t bother me personally, but my one critique is to keep the gum chewing away from the microphone. I could hear it a few times. You’re doing great 👏
I appreciate any input I can get! This and the last video were shot in the same day. I won’t let the gum happen again. I usually have mints that I like to have on hand since I’m usually up close and personal to techs but I had run out. Again, I appreciate the input mark! Thanks for watching!
I hope u can collab with txtoolguy his setup is nutty
Alignment tech hu? Didn’t know that was a thing I thought we all did alignments
Our alignments are .5 we don’t make much on them
Oooof. .5 isn’t much. That that for any alignment or just toe and go? I used to get 1.2 for full 4 wheel alignments. Thanks for watching!
@@ToolBoxTour .5 all 4Wheel
@@hanzyj7021wow, you're getting ripped off, my comment to costing clerk / service writer would be , do you work for Nothing because I sure don't.
.5???? Nope, that’s insane, ours are 2 hours,
💯💯💯😊
Sick set up but if I spent that much on a box I’d be losing my mind if it squeaked like that ever time I opened a drawer. I’ll stick to my snap on boxes 🤷♂️
Just remember, Matco dont make tools, they re brand them.
That branded Matco pry bar is gear wrenches 70 bucks I have had two them first one I traded for 600 dollar tool . Done the trade and went straight to Napa after work and bought another one . Because I didn't want to go one day without it . I was maintenance machinist .
Astro lights smoke Snap On lights! Ask Eric O!
Why did we skip that one draw on the left second from the bottom?
It didn’t have any tools in it.
Dewalt has a nice hood light for 125, not 500!
Come to Covington Georgia
I’d love to! If you have a cool setup, hit me up on instagram @toolboxtours
@@ToolBoxTour do you have an email I don't have Instagram
@@ToolBoxTour 84 in epic two side lockers slap full brand new snap-on Zeus plus diagnostic station slap full and old diagnostic station roll cart slap full plus extras
@@ToolBoxTour I just found you and sent three pictures they don't do justice because that was a couple months ago and a little bit longer
For anyone who wants to be a tech this is a easy 25k plus of tools, some aren’t needed but super handy to have isn’t honestly crazy how much we spend to get paid piece rate/hourly, find me another profession who spends this much on there own dime 😅
The irony is Federal law states that employers are required to provide you the tools required to perform your job, technically mechanics shouldn't be buying their own tools. In most other countries they don't, the shop does.
most have to spend 3 to 4x that amount on just a piece of paper to be able to get the job, at least we can sell our tools!
Black panel pliers can easily get lost in the interior of a vehicle.
where are the organizing hacks? he literally has pliers just stacked on top of each other. the most organized things were his sockets and wrenches which come with those when u buy them lol
Intro too loud then video too quiet mate
You know you can adjust your volume right?
Thanks for the input 👍 I’ll have to do better on the next one!
@@JamesMartin-rb7zr😂
This guy isn’t exactly organized. Every drawer was like “just random stuff in here” and then it’s like 4 million in Snap-On stuff lol.
You act like you have never seen any of these tools with the amount of boxes you done i would figure you have seen most everything but you go wow on some of the most basic tools lol
Honestly, even though I’ve seen them before, I love tools so much - I’m still always excited to see them haha.
We all understand that ! Thats why we keep watching lol @@ToolBoxTour
Nah I got to have a bay in front of my box mane. Ain’t no way I can feel good about having an alignment rack in front of my box can’t Make money bro
Why would anyone buy all Snap On Torque wrench’s? They are way too much money! I’m sure it is because of the tool truck credit, but how many years does it take to pay for all Snap On! I am a 37 year tech and sure some special Snap On tools are necessary, but sure not every socket and torque wrench s, and Snap On Battery tools aren’t any better than my Milwaukee power tools! I have both and no way is Snap On power tools worth what they charge! Less torque than Milwaukee!
Sweet set up. But hard video to watch with the dog barking in the background. Along with the gum chewing during a video.
Wow! I didn’t think anyone could hear the dogs. I appreciate the input. The gum won’t ever happen again - horrible mistake. I forgot I chew like a cow 😅. Thanks for watching!
Tʜᴇ ʙɪɢɢᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ғʟᴀɢ . . .
you do toolbox tours and you have no idea that a lot of these tools even exist?
Absolutely! Seems like every toolbox I look into, there’s atleast one awesome tool that I’ve never seen before. I would imagine that is the same reason that some people watch the show (to see new tools). Thanks for watching glen!
