![PADDINGTON IN PERU - Official Trailer [4K] - Paddington Bear is back!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lKgitu25ZAg/mqdefault.jpg)
NOT everyone grew up with a FATHER, or father figure to look up to. Videos like this are taken for granted. This type of video seems minor to some but with truly help many young men and woman who can use this. Thank you for taking time to make this video and sharing it !
Shaving video next? How to balance the check book? Why does the car need oil. Lol need
Wait people have Fathers and not two mothers that’s not normal
Yes. Young women will definitely learn a lot on this channel. 🤣 I’m pretty sure he said in a short that when the husband gets home, if there isn’t warm dinner and she isn’t looking her best, because he’s the breadwinner, the marriage is falling apart. Young women who don’t want to be looked at like that, should probably learn from other channels.
One big reason having a mother AND a father is so important is spelled out in your comment. I understand that some people will grow up with a single mother, but the child is being done a a disservice if he is being raised by two women, or she is being raised by two men, or visa-versa. There are very important lessons that only a mother can teach and lessons only a father can teach.
Growing up fatherless I've learned all I know through RUclips and experience and I feel I'm pretty well off in the using my hands front

I am a widow that needs to learn more about homestead maintenance, since Papa has passed and those chores fall on me now. May YAH Bless Cody for doing these videos.
Good luck and God bless you Grandma Ginger
We could all watch you do this for an hour once a month. Best wishes to Cody and family. Been watching for 10 years.
Same Ive grown up watching this guy he’s awesome!
I’ve inherited all my Fathers tools. Unfortunately he died three years ago. He was an engineer and taught me as much as he could. It’s a fantastic 45 year collection. Of course some of the hand tools were my Grandfathers. I need to get them organised is the only problem. Great video, you do valuable work for people who weren’t as fortunate as me. A good father is an undervalued commodity these days.
Fun fact: your Snap-On dealer can swap out just about any 1/4" drive body with a 3/8" driver head/guts! Works great for tight spaces where that adaptor may get in the way. Just a helpful tip!
You can also buy the conversion kit too. Like 10 bucks iirx
My favorite conversion is turning the TH72MP into a 3/8 drive
Funny you mentioned your Grandfather having a bunch of “ice picks” and other picks. My Grandpa also had a bunch of picks of all kinds in his 3tier stack Snap-On Tool Chest. After WWII he owned/operated a Sunoco Station. Side note, as a kid that tool chest was like a treasure chest of things I could spend all day going through. For years! The top section of the chest when unlocked folded up and had the Snap-On plate that said “I own the best, please don’t ask to borrow”. That made everything in there twice as exciting to me as a kid. My oldest brother was fortunate enough that my Dad passed it on to him since he was the oldest and first to own a home. He’s not a big tool person, so I keep working on him to give it up, but I’m not sure he’s going to let that happen! Lol. Sorry for the rant….just got me thinking
This was a great video. Plenty of fizz here. The one essential item I would add to this kit is a telescoping magnetic pick up tool, for that one nut, washer or bolt that you drop deep out of reach in the engine compartment and that there is no way to reach with your hand.
Great idea
It's born of experience.
LOL, got a telescoping magnet for Christmas. Great gift.
Not sure about any of your other viewers, but as a professional home owner who works on their own vehicles and owns a tractor I find the 1/2” drive sockets very useful and they don’t gather dust. Snap-On is the best I agree but most people cannot afford these. I have several wrenches that were given to me by my grandfather (heavy equipment mechanic) and I know I couldn’t afford this wrench set today.
You’re absolutely right. It would cost a *_LOT_* of money to buy all those SnapOn tools today.
I’ve never heard the term “professional homeowner” before watching this video. Obviously no one earns their living as a homeowner. Is that a term he came up with for someone who takes being a homeowner seriously and does all his own maintenance and repair?
Here in the rust belt 3/8 won't even reliably get lug nuts off. Even use 3/4 sockets from time to time. I'm not sure how much he really uses those tools I can't remember when mine looked that nice. I have twisted off enough 3/8 adapters and stripped enough ratchets to know that 3/8 has limits.
I have the snap on lug nut socket in several sizes but find that it’s really not necessary for the average mechanic to have all the different the half inch sizes in snap on as they are very expensive and it’s just not cost-effective unless you’re a diesel mechanic or large equipment mechanic
Well ya most people can’t afford to pay them in full up front. That’s why most of us we make payments every week. Truck accounts are great and keep your tool guy coming back if you ever need warranty
As a mechanic in a building that uses like 90% Allen bolts.
#1, Cody is correct. Ball allens save lives.
#2, buy a good torx set and a junk torx set. Junk tork socket driven into a rounded out allen with a hammer gets the job done every time ive had to. Also Knipex Cobra/Alligators will get the job done if its exposed.
#3, Stubby Allens(socket set and wrench set) and Flat tipped allens like his Bondhus T-handles are a must in a kit if primarily working on allens.
You are the father figure so many young men and women need, those who lack one. Otherwise, oftentimes they end up being boys and girls for a long time mentally. Dont do everything for you kids, show then and they will learn!
11:19 Tip for the ball allens: If you are breaking a socket with an Allen that is tight, do *not* use the ball. There is a high chance of rounding the socket.
Or the bolt.
As a recently retired auto mechanic, then shop owner then teacher at a school in Nashville, I can really appreciate all of these tools. I have them all in the garage, along with a whole bunch of others in 2 Snap On tool boxes. That one handle with the hook like end is either a hose hook tool or a cotter pin tool. And you are right that is an o-ring pick! I love your videos and have been watching for a couple of years. Looking to move out of the Nashville area and buy some land in Tennessee and enjoying retirement and serving The Lord with the rest of my days. The wife and i got covid and are fighting it now but I believe The Lord will pull us through. Cody, I truly enjoy your videos, you are an inspiration to me and a breath of fresh air in a dyeing world. Thank you for what you are doing, and sharing with those who see the true value in being self sufficient. May our Father bless you and your family mightily in the years ahead !!!
Congratulations on your retirement. I am glad to hear from other Tennesseans with shared views. Cody is a blessing to me, and it would appear to you as well. Best of luck with your search for land, we need more followers of Christ and good people in rural TN.
Amen. I’m looking for land also, but in the PNW.
This is so great, I just bought a house in Maine and realized I was using most of my dads tools and needed my own. Literally just got back from the hardware store with all the necessary tools! Good timing brother! God Bless, Happy New Year!
Welcome to maine Brother! I am in baldwin near sebago lake
Thanks for the welcome! We are up in Hampden near Hermon pond!
If you ever need anything let us know
@@willkindred7450 Thanks brother! Very much appreciated!
Welcome from Fairfield, Maine
Cody, only thing I’d add to that kit is a good utility knife and a small level. Those are two items I often times need, figured I’d throw that out there. Hope you and yours enjoy the new year!
Set of drill bits needed a lot too.
@@carlzirk best drill bits I’ve ever bought is a Norseman set. Amazing never going back
I'm a service plumber & gasfitter and I wear a small Stabila magnetic level on my belt (it comes with a strong belt-clip holster). Being a Stabila its of course high quality and has magnets on two sides at 90 degrees from one another, but the thing also has a hidden talent in that I can stick it to metal door frames or strike plates to prevent a door from closing, often a handy technique when accessing in and out of commercial buildings, or keeping certain doors from closing for the duration of my work.
@@verbotnit’s called the pocket pro, I use one as well
Those curved picks he had, are hose picks. The ones he said he used for O-rings. Which is actually another use.
But in case someone is interested in knowing more. That's the specific item you'd be looking for.
Actual O-ring picks are identical, accept they are a bit smaller.
The hose pick is basically for stuff like heater/radiator hoses. They get essentially cooked on it seems at times. Well once the clamps are removed from the hose, you use the pick to break the seal around the inside of the hose. Basically just enough to break the bond/seal between the hose and spout/nipple. Then you can begin twisting the hose back and forth until its off.
Yeah but we all know we don't use tools as intended. I mean I'm a farmer and I'll tell you the only tool i carry on me is pliers......but those pliers are also a hammer, pry bar, ratchet and socket, chisel. Pick, and depending on the situstion......lol.....a tree trimmer 🤣🤣🤣 like why would you use an o ring pick for o rings when you could use something notnintended for o rings 🤣
Granddad and bread-and-butter and granddad bread-and-butter and grand dad bread-and-butter... legend.
For anyone wondering the screwdriver extension is called a “spinner handle”.
God I miss these lists so much
I’ve watched the workbench build so many times. With the 2 by 4 on their side and metal legs. I built it and I love it.
And top 50 tools video you started because of the book on the blacksmith.
You’ve taught me all the things I wish my dad could’ve taught me
He worked all the time and he knew so much. But health got the best of him and I couldn’t learn from him before he got his stroke.
I appreciate everything you do.
I was raised Christian and am no longer religious but you are certainly proof of a higher power.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I watched the metal leg work bench video also now there is one in my garage. It truly is a bomb proof workbench. My son and I just recently used it to build and paint some wooden cars he got for christmas
Good tool talk Wrangler star 👍👍 as an electrician my main go to EDC is a 6 and 1 screwdriver, hybrid lineman pliers and a flip bladed utility knife. God bless you and your family this up and coming year 🙏
That mid length socket set is a life saver in metric, so far only had maybe two times I could have used a SAE mid length socket one in half inch and one in nine sixteenths so never looked for a mid length set which my snap on dealer never had on his truck, he did keep a metric mid length and I was glad I bought that set, used the heck out of almost all of them. Since I did a lot of hydraulic work I found that angle wrenches were also a life saver. I too have not seen the three eights drive one and never had a use for the quarter inch one so never bought one. Smart move getting the ball end on the Allen sets, used my socket Allen’s in metric and SAE, yet I did a lot of brake and in cab work where they served me well. For the punches get one that has a half inch round on the small end as well as the long one you have with what looked like an eighth inch end. Ahhhhhhg get snap ones pry bar set and please stop hammering on a screwdriver or using it as a pry bar, for your safety not mine. And the long five foot pry bar is great for a multitude of jobs
Have a blessed new year filled with good health, happiness and prosperity
FYI the silver Sharpies need to be stored tip-down. (That's why there's no picket clip on the cap.) So you can use the magnet to store the black ones tip-up and silver ones tip-down.
Now I'm curious as to why the silver one is tip down
I love this video! I am a industrial maintenance technician (do anything and everything guy) I work out of a 5 drawer roll cart and I have almost everything you have in your cart and then some. I love 3/8dr sockets and I use a 3/8 impact universal joint on my hand drive stuff all the time.
Snapon still sells those nut drivers but call them handled extensions but there the new handle style. I have they Mac versions in 3/8 and 1/4dr with the locking collar use it all the time at home and work. I also say a good multimeter is a must have. And if you do precise work more a digital calipers might not be a bad idea.
I love your tool choices and selections. I want to have a good selection like yours sometime.
Have a great and happy new year keep up the great videos!
I have a similar setup. I do have a lockable 5 drawer with a cover because of the other hands in the shop. Biggest time savers taking the tools to the car\truck etc. I've added a fender cover, rubber gloves, and safety glasses with the readers in them. Basically make the cart and tools fit what you do every day. Happy New Year!
I really enjoy when you make these type of videos. From your EDC to bug out bags to all the tool videos you produce. Thanks and looking forward to more tool videos in the future.
23:24, tool with the orange handle is a “cotter pin extractor.” A job for which I don’t think I’ve used mine. - Most of my tools are old, US made Craftsman. I wish there was a decent novice option like that still.
There is. Pittsburgh tools are guaranteed and serve me as well as Craftsman. Their six point sockets have too much taper in the leade and I am forced to grind that off for some applications. Kobalt come closer to Craftsman with a better finish.
Very nice, pretty well thought out, comes from years of using your tools. I to love that pick thing(the orange handle one you said you cant remember the name of, I was always told it was a hose pick, for losening radiator hoses that are corroded into a neck, I have my Dad's from when he was a full time mechanic, actually have a lot of his tools). There's a few tools I can think you need in there but the major one is, a snap on air blower/nozzle with removable rubber tips. Any time I work on ANYTHING, it first gets blown off. Any leaves, dirt, lose oil, also helps if you drop a bolt in a fender and need to try to bow it out. Also, a magnet, a small extendable one. And a simple test light. I to have a big snap on tool box and I catch myself working out of a small 3 drawer Craftsman box all the time, only using my snap on box for "extra" tools or special tools that I've made over the years.
The first 6 hours into 2022, and it's great to spend the time biking and watching this. This is really helpful and gives good feedback from your experience. Some tools are hard to imagine buying, but when you have them you don't realize how much you'll use them for vs doing without. Husky has those pick sets for 10$ ea, and HF for the small orange ones that are disposable for epoxy etc. A "carpet cutter" is super hearty and I grind it down so it can slice things too. It's stout, gives good leverage and picks those tight areas too. Lineman pliers is flat and gives good pressing as well as lateral twist. Makes a good hammer in a pinch ha. mechanics gloves are great and phone friendly to avoid taking off gloves constantly. Also the thinner, smart phone, green wood working ones are incredibly helpful for fine work. As well as some black nitrile gloves. Gloves are indispensable and help me dig right into the job more efficiently. God Bless Cody!
hi Cody, my father was a mechanic for cars too (british and italian oldtimer cars) and he had a lot of these ice pick like screwdrivers too. He used them a lot as a bolt substitudes. If he disassemble something like the brakes or engine parts, he substitude removed bolts with these tools to prevent everything falling apart the moment he removed the last bolt.
I would add a small and larger vice grips. Great for clamping, pulling and turning damaged bolts or backing up a hard to reach bolt. Then I would add a parts magnet for fishing out lost parts and tools.
As i was watching and listening to you tell the story of the Prodigal Son, I could hear Softly and Tenderly in my mind. I’ve, many like you and I , have heard and/or told this story many times. But I couldn’t help think how many people were hearing this for the first time. I enjoy your channel and appreciate you sprinkling in some Christian education. Every little bit helps. May God Bless
An accent I can understand and no stupid music. Than you!
I'm thankful for inheriting both my grandad's and my dad's tools. These tools are made so well, the motors on the drill press, table saw, etc. never die! They are Irriplaceable!
My adjustable wrench and channel locks is all I need to fix anything.
@@HonorableBeniah-A That's because your much better at working with less than I am! That's for sure! Have a Happy New Year my friend!
Take care of those tools because they are not replaceable! Aside from the value of coming from your dad and grandad, old tools are often better quality than anything you can get today.
@@HonorableBeniah-A damn bro teach me how to cut metal and drill into metal with adjustable wrench and channel locks.
@@CruelSun69 I taught plenty of women, and I can teach yours too.
A Trail runners headlamp, has become one of the most useful tools. Brands like Black Diamond, Petzl and BioLite.
This was a useful video great job and thank you 👍
Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
Razor blade, vice grip, universal swivel for socket, needle nose plyers. Happy New Years!
I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find that snap on extension with the handle and never had any luck then about a year ago I found the same thing made by Bahco that appears nearly identical. I went ahead and ordered one in 3/8 and 1/4. They are German made, very high quality. The 3/8 has a black handle, the 1/4 green looks identical to the old style snap on handle
I heard Mac makes one,
@@wranglerstar MAC has them in 6,10, and 18 in. but only in locking male version. They call them "3/8 Drive Locking Hand Drive Extensions"
Bahco is owned by snap-on Swedish company pioneer of the water pump plier.
Could I get a link to that tool you are talking about sir?
Bahco 7756 and 6956. Square drive spinner handle.
As mentioned by others: couple of magnetic tool trays
Telescopic inspection mirror (Mine has a light)
Telescopic magnetic pick up tool.
Universal joint ratchet extensions.
Happy New Year!
Can we just take a second to appreciate Cody’s glasses situation at the 11 minute mark 😂 they were so low on his nose it made me push mine up
I was thinking the same. He was wearing them on his top lip.
Yeah I ended up machining my own version of the extension with the handle. M2 tool steel I hardened and tempered and made an ok handle out of ash I had laying around. Not my best looking handle job but man is that tool handy! Made a proper dead blow hammer with actual lead shot in it like it should have. Lots heavier and feels more "dead" than the steel versions, got a brass a plastic and steel head version. Difficult to change heads, I need to redo the mounting for the screw on heads I come up with. The brass and steel work ok but I have to cut the plastic off the mounting plate then epoxy on a new one every time it's worn and it's a pain. The steel and brass I just machine a new one with threads cut on it
I'm looking for a 6-7" handle shot filled replaceable brass head hammer. when using alphanumeric stamps many times a day, it just saves the stamps and when the
brass end gets too beat up, you just screw in a new head, (machined stud on brass head)
Idk if it’s just me, but I found a good pair of clear safety glasses to be essential for whenever I’m working on the underside of a vehicle. I’m not sure if it’s just bad luck, user error or both but I use to always get crud in my eyes. Threw on a pair of clear (for me non-prescription) safety glasses and like magic - no more crud in my eyes. Never really found a use for them besides that though 😉
Still always end up with SOMETHING in your eye at some point, but glasses certainly help prevent a majority of it.
I put a pair of safety glasses in every tool box/bag/tote, if the safety glasses are handy you will use them and the job will go smoothly, if not, you don't use them and then spend the afternoon getting your eye flushed out at the ER....
gloves also should added.....
Yes there is a machine shop owner and local race car driver here in North Carolina, Ralph Brinkley he has a glass eye from dropping a screw driver into his eye while under a vehicle so the glasses are a must
Mickey mouse ear protectors too
Personally a 3/8 socket will do everything you need around the house and beyond. Saying that, I work industrially everyday and my 1/2 inch are my go to and I even have adapters from 1/4 to 3/4 😅. They don't get used often but when you need the 3/4 drive, you NEED IT 🤣
I really enjoy the longer videos. Thanks Cody & Happy New Year!
Great video. I was very fortunate when I graduate high school a widow in my church let me come over and pick through her husbands tools. I took two bags of hand tools to college with me and I still have them. Great gift!
The orange handle tool is for removing radiator hoses… I only rarely used it for that! Handy tool
Been building up a tool set for a few years. Never have I regret buying a quality tool
Cody I’d say you pretty much got the tools covered. Thank you for your insightfulness I think I’ve got pretty much all that you’ve shown except I’m one of those guys that have the craftsman as my primary and whenever possible picked up the snap on at the yard sales or thrift stores.
I'm a big fan of screw drivers that take 1/4" drive bits.
Having those around is very handy for the limited use drive types. #2 square drive, almost never come across it but the bit is in the kit just in case.
Much more convenient than buying and hauling a bunch if screw drivers that'll see near zero use.
Buy good bits! The 99 cent for 20 piece assortment will be broken before the first fastener is driven.
Klein Tools makes a damn good multi screwdriver. I just got a Klein multi stubby as well.
Great video. Sad you deleted the live stream from yesterday, hope you re-post it. Happy NYE!
Im so proud ive been using the same 10mm socket for 3 years now. I did lose my 1/2 inch off that socket set though.
just a few things I would add: towel holder to hold the roll on the end of the cart, a holder for a box of the thin latex gloves (or whichever you use), and a small safety plunger can full of acetone. I use that multiple times a day when cleaning off what I'm working on, cleaning off a tool, degreasing something, etc. Oh, and a holder/place for Red and Blue loctite, Brake cleaner and Carb cleaner, and WD40. Last, a good handheld multimeter.
Pretty good load out! I like the idea of a cart. I carry my A&P essentials (American Truck too) in a big carry around tool box and always want a table to lay stuff out on. See a cart in my future!
May I humbly recommend an inspection mirror? I’ve found my 3” BluePoint mirror invaluable.
We stayed home worked on constellations in my daughter’s ceiling!
Happy New Year!
Awesome perfect video for tonight since I never go out on this holiday!
Cody, I’m sorry if someone already mentioned it, but what you described as a “big punch” (that your granddad possibly made), is a “drift” and is made to do exactly what you use it for: aligning holes. I’m a first time commenter....really enjoy your content.
The "side cutters" you show we call diagonal pliers or dykes. Side cutters are traditional "Kleins" linesman pliers. The Knipex are the standard now.
I was about to say the same; thanks for this….saved me the time. I also have the knipex tongue and groove pliers (channellocks), great tools. I would also recommend a better set of screwdrivers, maybe Klein over snap on. I’ve had luck with greenlee as well. I love the Milwaukee channellocks too. I personally hate fat max tape measures…my favorite is the 25’ Klein tape. Bosch drill bits are awesome and the Home Depot Ryobi drills seem to be the best bang for your buck cordless drill systems.
A magnetic tray is always good to have around, I have mine on the side of my rolling tool box.
If you're trying to add tools quickly, I recommend a local auction or estate sale. Usually can get good tools for decent prices. Hardware organizers, too.
Habitat for humanity stores often have hand tools (cheap)
When I worked at a shop I had a large tool box with a work surface top. It was a good tool box but a pain to move around and due to certain disagreements I took it home. Later I bought a US general harbor freight tool cart with a few drawers on it and that thing was perfect for the shop when I had to move around all over. When I first brought it in the machine I was on was having issues beyond us operators so work ended up paying me double time to put my tool cart together. It was a good day
absolutely love these longer videos! hope theyre here to stay
My first Snap On purchase was a 12 volt test light, I consider it essential and still have it 40 years later.
I really enjoy the design of the THOR hammers made in U.K. they usually have a hardened leather and copper faces.
I use mine constantly on the workshop probably in my hand more than any other tool
The hammers aren’t cheap but the inserts are long lasting and replaceable
Mr. W, you are the perfect blend of Ned Flanders and Tim Taylor and I love it.
Very well rounded kit! Thanks for the experience. God bless.
I love my brass hammer! I enjoyed watching this I’m a huge proponent of the wheel cart. I have buddys that like to run me down about my tool cart. I tell them the same thing you say it has everything I need in it. If I go bigger or get to far into speciality items. I’m bound to get myself in trouble😂
A tool tote or bag is the most helpful overall thing I've come across in the last few years. It's quite a game changer to do even the simplest of jobs and have everything I need. It really diminishes the feel to need to Jerry rig jobs.
I do the same thing Keep a bag in my car so I always have what I need
My parents bought me the occidental tool tote for cristmas
It's beautiful, I'm gunna use it for all my finishing/door hanging tools and bits
@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 and here I thought I was uptown with my 100 dollar packout tote.
Ioved my klein oval bag until it got stolen
@@David.D3 I guard my tools with my life. I trust nobody with them.
The people I work with aren't theives exactly.
But they are prone to losing and ruining and breaking alot of stuff.
I'm not taking my time in choosing what I buy, reading all the reviews, saving up and spending my money on decent tools that will last a lifetime, then spending years looking after them.... only for some bozo to "borrow" it coz he doesn't wanna spend his beer/weed money on one for himself, then either losing it or breaking it like it don't matter....
Gotta say your tool videos are some of my favorite! I love to hear the stories behind them or why you have them!
The one tool that I can remember going to the most while doing maintenance on my vehicles is my snap on ratchet screw driver with the black plastic handle. It has replaceable tips and a hollow handle for storage. My most used tips are the #1 & #2 Phillips, medium size flat blade screw driver tip and I believe the 5/16 nut driver tip for hose clamps. I'd "almost" do unspeakable phalistien ( I think I got it right🤷♂️) thing to someone if they would break/ loose that tool since i don't think snap on makes that one anymore🤔
I just got one off a truck a month ago. Should be available still.
Happy New Year Everyone
If you made it this far that means you've survived 2021.
If you can survive that you are gonna be just fine.
For 2022 everyone should kick-a$$ and be the best version of you possible.
those pen magnets are awesome, wish i could get my hands on some of those
I'm 24 and have basically all those tool and have done full motor swaps and engine replacements with just those tools good advice
When it comes to buying tools you will use alot, the old saying "buy once ,cry once" rings true. Also buy a good quality box to keep them oganised and also to keep them from getting "borrowed".
You should try knipex side cutters they are amazing and my favorite
This video was awesome. Thank you so much! For some of us who didn't grow up with dads to pass down this kind of knowledge to us it's invaluable. Getting to the point in my life where I'm starting to recognize being capable of doing anything for your family is the most important thing
Agreed, or for people like myself who, even having my dad and grandpa and uncles around all of the time - though most are now passed away - I was too lazy and “millennial” to learn the knowledge and use the tools when I had the chance. Now I have to try to figure it out for myself. One of my life’s biggest regrets. Live and learn.
I will say don't start off with Snap On like he says, I highly recommend Kobalt or Crescent.

The top of the line tools are expensive and not always the best option for a homeowner, but a good way to tell if you need a higher end tool is to get a cheap option and if you break it get a higher end one.
@@nicholasholden8139 Thank you for your helpful response. I will check out those videos.
Thanks for the video. God Bless you and the family in 2022
gosh, cant believe I got that Christmas wish. these are some of my favorite videos, the length, and the topic!!!
Glad I got the Knipex on your recommendation. It was the only pliers that would grab a hard to get radiator hose clamp. Happy New Year.
Yep, I got the Knipex after his recommendation too. Great tool. I thought he needed a needle-nose plier in the kit, though.
@@jporterfield Good point.
Seriously great video, very informative. And all done in one take, I think! The carpet floor on the tray is a nice touch. I would add a pair of tin snips, basically super-strong scissors, to cut not only what they are designed to cut but also cardboard, opening packages, plastic sacks, etc
Couple of things...the light duty impact drivers are great for spinning on/off lug nuts. Makes the tire rotation job a bit easier.
Also, I always have an extendable magnet handy for those nuts and such that always seem to fall into tight spots. And a small flexible mirror comes in handy. Especially for finding leaks and such in tight spots.
I think that a 1/4 inch drive to 1/4 inch hex adapter is one of the coolest little tools I own. Also, you should ALWAYS have oil. Both an aerosolized and a regular liquid with a relatively precision size tip. 3 in 1 is my go to brand.
Being a transmission mechanic, your granddad probably used the "ice pick" tool to remove the giant snap rings that hold the clutches, etc, in the transmission. I've watched several transmission rebuild videos, and they all use those tools for the snap rings.
Im sure you mean the Jesus clip?
Wranglerstar, Knipex makes a pair of slip joint pliers, you should check those out, great video as always, and have a happy new year.
@@TheSoftspokenShaman he already has those
GREAT VID, THANKS AND YES SNAP-ON NEVER FAILED ME , EVEN ON THE BOLTS THAT OTHER SOCKETS WOULD SLIP ON. PUT MY SNAP-ON SOCKET ON AND IT WILL TURN THAT BOLT OFF! TRUE STORY
Happy New Year Everyone!
Thanks Cody, you make this sort of stuff so fun, and interesting, i don't even think of your instruction as a life lesson, but i know it is!
Thanks for unknowingly backing me up on the 3/8 drive thing! A customer came in on Christmas eve looking to buy an impact wrench for her husband. When I asked her what size, she asked me what was most common. I then went into a long winded explanation of how it depends on who she asks, but I would say 3/8 is the most common. She then told me her husband is a mechanic. I told her I wasn't sure I could be of any more help.
My favorites: Duckbill needlenose pliers, 8" pipe wrench, light that clips on my baseball cap, multimeter with alligater clamp test leads, love mine, magnet on an extension for working on engines, bigger magnet on a stick for looking for that thrown c clip or dropped nut on the ground, Dewalt mechanics light, largest set of hemos you can find.
What is a Hemos?
Great vid!! I really like my wobble extensions! cheers
Just in Time I love popping in right at an upload especially when its a nice cozy night like this. Thanks for sharing Cody! Happy New Year!
“Flat Blade” screw drivers are Slotted Screw Drivers. Punches are generally not tapered, designed to drive out roll pins. Tapered are for aligning holes and known as drift pins.
Megnet tray to hold screws bolts or other items from getting lost.
Great video and good advice, I am totally a Craftsman guy and wood handle hammers and I do too much mechanic work to use just 3/8 drive but I don't have an issue with Snapon other than having to track down a truck when you need something and they definitely have the best impact adapters
I am one of those East Coast liberals you're always digging at. I watch all of your videos when they come out. I am a quadriplegic so I always have to have other people doing my work but I like to bone up on the knowledge so that I can direct them since the people available to me are not usually very experienced with the types of projects I am having them do. They are effectively being my hands since mine don't work. I learn a lot about basic professional homeownership through your videos that get applied directly to my ambitions for a "poor man's" backyard farm. This has been one of the more useful videos that you have put out. I am currently working on building up a patio in front of my shed and as soon as it's done I'm going to build out a tool cart like this. Mine will likely be pretty different since I don't do a lot of car work. Mine will be built out more for backyard projects and tinkering but a lot of the tools are pretty much the same.
I’m so very sorry to hear about your terribly sad problem of being an East Coast liberal. Hang in there, keep your head up, have faith, and never stop learning. If you just do those things, chances are that someday, eventually, you will see the light, and things will get better for you. You’ll be so much happier and wiser, and your life will be better in every possible way, once you become an East Coast conservative. God bless.
How do you type? Voice?
@@Jetsonn I can type with the side of my knuckle and I use my voice most of the time. I am a c4 - C5 level quadriplegic which means I still have use of my arms to a limited extent. It's enough use to be able to drive with some really extensive controls in my van
Snap on isnt worth the money. Used their tools for 10 years.
I always love the tool videos. I use the US General 5 drawer cart with the side table. Of course I have modified it in some regards to suit my needs. Like you said using your heirloom tools, most of mine are the old school craftsman made in USA. I also have SK tools and of course Channellock and Klein. I like using the old school tools though because it reminds me of working with my Dad and Grandfather. I always like the look on my dads face when he uses some of my Craftsman tools, like a kid on Christmas.
i definitely agree in the tool cart idea. I have a red blue point cart just about the same as yours. Although in mine i keep it pretty barebones. I have a 3/8" metric socket set (shallow and deep), a 3/8" wobble head ratchet, I have a Milwaukee 3/8" cordless ratchet ( I hardly ever use a hand ratchet anymore), 3" and 6" wobble head impact extensions, a USA made Screwdriver (one of those flip ones with phillips and standard), a set of metric wrenches (astro pneumatic 90 degree offset wrenches, I have a set of snap-on wrenches but i like these so much better due to the design. Not made anymore unfortunately), i also keep a bottle of soapy water on the side( to cool down things ive welded/ slip off rubber exhaust hangers easier, check for tire leaks, clean stuff, etc). I don't work on any one specific brand, I have a healthy mix of asian and domestic cars/trucks. Anything else I need ill grab out of my toolbox.
First
Tested positive for covid yesterday, and being isolated in the bedroom has been pretty boring. This upload is a blessing 🙏 thank you cody
sorry you got the sniffles get better soon
Netflix just uploaded a bunch of stuff.
Thats called a dead blow hammer with the shot inside of it.
Was a mechanic for 30 years,I like craftsman better, broke every deepwell snap on I ever bought I got tired of chasing the snap on man..
