@@fordaddict2610 since your wife bought you one of the boxes i would say she understands it pretty good. Im a mechanic by trade and it took me a while to find the right girl but finally my current girlfriend and hopefully my future wife understands and doesn't question me spending money on tools i need. Great tour!
You probably dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
At the beginning of your socket presentation I loved how described the beautiful mix you have. My dad gave a mix of sockets that I still have 35 years later. Sockets and tools in general have soul.
love the way you have your tools well organized. thats the way i will have mine organized as well when i purchase my tool storage. very great video. thanks for showing.
I appreciate the time you took to explain all your tools and point out brands. Some videos I’ve seen they don’t talk or go thru a whole drawer in 30 seconds. Nice collection
I'm a big fan of the U.S. General boxes & like how you have linked your boxes! I have the same box but with the top also. I plan to get another set & link them with the locker in the middle. Great collection of tools & thanks for sharing!!
Very nice setup you have there... I used to have a collection the size of yours and left it to my brother about 10 years ago when I was having some serious money issues and he helped me out. I let him have my entire 30 year collection. I have been collecting again for about 3 years now and have most of the essentials (enough to get the job done), but have a looooong way to go... Thanks for the vid..
Great video You've help me decide on when I need a bigger box. I currently own the 44"as well. And I was considering selling it to get the 72" but now that I've seen your setup. Im sold MORE BOX, LESS MONEY. Thanks again
I really enjoyed the video & it's one of my favorite tours on RUclips, it's great to see a long video. If there's more to come then I'll subscribe, great collection & thanks for sharing.
Wow man, thanks for sharing! You've gave me some ideas on my tool boxes. Hopefully someday i'll get enough tools to have a tool box as long (if not longer) than yours! But thank you. And God bless
the tool boxes are great for where they come from. i got mine used off craigslist for $180. mine is the older style with the matte powder coating. it also has angle iron that the casters connect to, apparently the newer ones don't have that angle iron. loving the box so far, i've noticed i'm buying a lot more tools lately since buying the box! great tool collection there.
God bless you too. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the awesome comment. It took me about 20 years, and I'm still building my collection.
Nice video, you seem like a really genuine old school guy. Love your box looking to get the same one soon. I like how your not brand specific whatever works and gets the job done. All my sockets at work are craftsman and i have yet to have a problem and boy do i abuse em.
Love the video on the tool box. Now I know what will keep my Ford running smoothly. For a shadetree mechanic you are 99.44/100 complete. That is so cool!
Nope, you win. That is the best tool set I have ever seen! So nice to see a hard working set bought without any nod to any one manufacturer. If it does the job it is in the box. Great. It just goes to show you don't need to keep paying the truck guy, search around, buy what works and you can collect a great tool collection. Like you said, we would all love everything Snap On but tools are there to earn money, $300 plus for one low profile ratchet and a handful of sockets? Just buy the Craftsman. Thanks for a great tour, nice camera work too.
I found a set of NWS side cutters in excellent condition walking down the Avenue in traffic late in the day, noone to claim and finders keepers, great collection you seem to enjoy tools.
Impressive setup and tool selection. They all don't have to be the same name brand as long as they get the job done. I'm hoping to have a nice setup like this one day.
Love your collection! I have many brands as well. Also a lot of the same but what the hell I like them lol. Personally I like ratchets I have a lot of those to
The odd ball Mac is a model S 4 which is a vintage starter wrench. It looks similar to the snap on model M 1329 , which is for air compressor/ fuel pumps. Still good to have.
Just a couple of thoughts, your 1/4 inch socket driver is called a spinner handle. Also that Goodyear ratchet kinda look like a max craft from Napa. It has the two lube holes behind the selector lever. By far my favorite toolbox video. I own a harbor freight 56 toolbox.
I made it a habit that if I borrowed a tool the 2nd time I bought one. Retired now but I worked professionally as auto, marine, and heavy equipment mechanic for over 40 years. You would be amazed the amount of tools one amasses over the years.
great collection. I always smile at how USA calls imperial sockets, standard. the rest of us in metric world call them imperial :-) keep posting brother
I have a Cornwell 3\8 ratchet that is the same as then one in your 1\4 socket set. my grandfather has had it for 40 years and it is still working and has never been rebuilt.
the good year ratchet was sold at pep boys i have the 3/8 shallow set metric and standard its a damn good rachet i like using it because it feels professional.
Hi ,nice tool set man. im 25 years old, becoming a Diesel Tech. I wanted to be a Cop but my heart is in a garage working with tools. How did you like working for Freightliner? and other shops? do diesel techs work off of flat rate?
now that was an awesome tour. you have a really nice set-up with a lot of tools. I really liked your socket drawer and also your air impacts and impact sockets. what kind of torque are the Snap-on air guns putting out?
Thanks Kenman 1717. Most of these tools where purchased from the Pawn Shop and I got great deals on them. I wish my snap on set didn't skip sizes, oh well. I am always up grading, do u have a tool box tour?
awesome. I thought I had a big toolbox, guess not. going to try to get a couple vids up of it soon. I have seen that goodyear racing brand before. I bought a set of metric ratchet wrenches of that brand for my father a couple years ago, I bought them at Canadian Tire. I have that same stubby snapon set, but I noticed yours skips a few sizes, mine goes from 8 to 19, but I bought the sockets separately from the ratchet, maybe that's the difference. you have lots of extras, and no extra space. I just moved into this box I have like 4 months ago, didn't have enough room in the last one, and It was pretty big, but this one is twice as big, I have a few empty drawers, but that's only because they are the really shallow ones.
Frankenstrat25, thanks for understanding, I am going to do an update hopefully tomorrow. Gonna try and make it shorter though, I want to highlight some new "used" snap on, blue point and matco tools I just picked up from the pawn shop. Plus I rearranged a few things in the box. Also I've been playing guitar since I was 18, I'm now 44 so it's a little while, great to see a fellow musician and tool finatic, I checked out your channel, impressive. Have a great one!
awesome collection. How do you like the Carlyle ratchets? both of my 3/8 swivel ratchets broke the first day I used them. Also you should keep your torque wrenches in its boxes, from what I heard it can effect the calibration from banging around.
Emin hvac, I want to order the cases for my torque wrenches which I got from the pawn shop. So far the carlye ratchets have worked well, bought them new and they where kinda pricey though. Hopefully they will hold up, we'll see. Thanks for the comment. I'm going to do an update soon, just got more tools and rearranged some tools, will make the next video shorter though, thanks again.
Thanks bro. Took me awhile, not a professional mechanic, just work on my own stuff mainly but still building my collection. Someday I'm gonna get the roll around cart.
As a final touch I had my wife label each drawer so you would know exactly where everything is and you would not have to open each drawer to find different tools. Those strips on each drawer pull out so you can label them. A great video I enjoyed it.
Yes, with what to my ADD is somewhat random placement, and his multiples, the labels probably help. If you do major projects regularly or use them ever day the labels aren’t really needed imho. You basically ‘know’ where everything is. At least for me. What helps me is organizing common use tools all in one associated drawer. The primary three drawers in the top box are 3/8 socket stuff, metric and inch, torx, e-torx, allen sockets, air ratchet, several regular ratchets and 3/8 torque wrench- all one drawer. Above that is standard wrenches drawer, drawer above that metric wrenches, then 1/4” sockets above that: sockets, ratchets, 1/4” torque wrench, plus odd stuff like the triple square sockets, hex driver bits, right angle screw drivers etc. Top drawer in the top box is miscellaneous supplies like pens, markers, aveno hand cream, plastic gloves, a comb, hand cleaner, first aid stuff, emergency coffee packets, decals, a couple utility knives, keys… Top drawer in the bottom box is 1/2” ratchets, sockets, impact gun, 1/2 extensions. The right bank has a hammers and punches drawer, a precision measuring tool drawer, screwdrivers drawer… You get the idea. Everything related in its own drawer. No labels needed because nothing is scattered.
You have all the room but yet you have a mess. Never have understood other guys like you that keep so much that you will maybe use once in your life. Guys that use there tools every day and are productive never have boxes like this it's too much clutter but good for you in doing what you like and setting up the way you like🙃🤓👍
hello sir, really enjoyed the video! I have seen a handful of longer toolbox tour videos and a lot of times they are pretty boring but I really enjoyed yours! I may do the same and make a long toolbox tour video. I won't lie though, I didn't think you were serious when you said at the beginning of the video that you didn't have enough room for the files. I was definitely surprised when during the whole video every drawer was stuffed like a turkey on thanksgiving! haha I have the same titan bit set. it has been an excellent set. I have heard many many times that people love those long reach box end wrenches. I really want to take a plunge on a set but I hope to find a cheaper set somewhere online. I have to agree on the pittsburg impact sockets. I have a 9/16 that is completely chrome now it's been used so much. it's the chrome molley (spelling?) pro series. they are amazing impact sockets. I also have a set of A T D (Advanced tool design) imnpaqct sockets in 3/8 drive at work and they have been awesome also. I am starting to build up my air tool collection. I finally got a decent air compressor over the winter. I can't say I have done much pawn shop searching. every time I have been in one they're asking tool truck prices for off brand tools (Pittsburg torque wrenches for $60+) but maybe I'll have to do some more searching. anyway, great video again! thanks for uploading.
Just started as a dealership tech, and I was debating buying the 44" vs. waiting and saving for the 72", but I really dig this setup. Plus I can build it piece by piece. Not interested in financing a truck-brand box for $6-10k when the HF boxes do the same job just as well. Thanks, man.
don't let the shop guys shane you into debt. many of my guys started with a walmart 3 piece 210 kit and started working up as needed. several in the shop now have two of these HF boxes along with the top box.
Absolutely nothing wrong with a 44, I had one in a pro collision shop when I went back into the business. As a tech you are most likely going to grow out of it quickly. Your next step would be to add on to the 44, move into a bigger box or stop buying tools. :)
I’m six years too late for you but imho and from experience my advice is just save and buy the 56” top and bottom boxes and be done with it. 44” is “just barely” big enough for an all-around mechanic but the drawers aren’t quite wide enough for all the 3/8 sockets and accessories you’ll need or want in both metric and standard. So the 56” top and bottom set is ~$1500 and it will hold all my 3/8 stuff including torx and allen bits in one very full drawer. And you’ll have unused drawers for a while. But you shouldn’t need a bigger box anytime in the near future, or perhaps never.
Knipex makes the best mini bolt cutters,not cheap.The Truecraft,New Britain and Bonney tools you can't get replaced anymore when they break,out of buisness.Another good place for good used to find good used tools is garage journal which is a tool forum with a classified section you might want to check out.
lol never know when someone is going to attack you when your working on your pickup I like your video tho I hope to have enough room one day to get a bigger tool box and more tools
Just have a couple questions about the cabinets you have here. Did you connect all of those cabinets together as one large unit? Also curious if all 4 casters swivel on the roller cabinets or is it just the 2 locking ones that swivel?
Do you mind me asking what your background is? obviously you have a awesome collection of tools, but how often do you use them? daily? what do you do for work, im going to guess something mechanical related?
lol your video should be a college drinking game every time you say it's good to have you take a shot.. anyways kidding aside I love your tool set up you got everything lol 300 wrenches. You got a nice snap on collection I'm jealous I wanna know how you actually used all your tools that you say have been good, well how many times have you used them man you just got so much I know you gotta have a favorite tool of each type. I'm dying for a set of snap on double box end long 0 offset wrenches in metric. Christmas is coming less than 2 more months.Are you a professional mechanic or extreme DIYer? Anyways thanks for your video as it's my favorite tour.
trust me when you need those little husky pliers they will be worth every penny, I have the kobalt set of them and have only used them once under the dash but nothing else would have fit.

Nice boxes! I slid the silver drawer faces out and painted them black.. it looks really nice
Had Truecraft sockets and ratchets for over 30 years and they are still going strong, Great video
I have a snap on master series tool box and you make me want to rearrange my box!! good tour thanks man. I would never hat eon a u.s. general box
Very fine video. Unbelievable collection of tools. Great to know you are a Ford guy too!
Thanks for the complement.
God bless you too. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the awesome comment. It took me about 20 years, and I'm still building my collection.
Well buddy, sorry it took me 4 months to reply back, but you gave me several great ideas for me to do when i buy a bigger box
thats a nice collection, gave me some ideas what ''buy/horde'' next.

I liked the end when your said sons toolboxes. hell yeah. my children will also turn wrenches for their main hobby just like me.
Can't believe I just watched 3/4 an hour of this! great video...
Nice box and collection
Nice! Never seen a breaker bar ratchet socket adapter that's pretty cool my dude. The whole collection is but that's just what impresses me

my eye's literally bulged out at 1:02 so shiny lol i was like damn i'm in heaven best collection i've seen in a long time
That is one awesome collection of tools you have there,and here i was thinking the tool boxes were impressive.
great collection. I always smile at how USA calls imperial sockets, standard. the rest of us in metric world call them imperial :-) keep posting brother
Trips me out too. I'm gonna be posting soon as we moved and now I have to reset everything over again. Thanks bro.
Great collection from a ford addict in the uk.
I'm here because the title commanded me to watch ...so I watched!
I have a Cornwell 3\8 ratchet that is the same as then one in your 1\4 socket set. my grandfather has had it for 40 years and it is still working and has never been rebuilt.
the good year ratchet was sold at pep boys i have the 3/8 shallow set metric and standard its a damn good rachet i like using it because it feels professional.
That 5/8 Mac wrench that is straight on one end and half-moon on the other, is for taking the air compressor off of an 855 Cummins.
Very impressive mate.
impressive set up my friend!
Love the setup man! You can never have enough tools.. same thing goes with guns n ammo!
I used to work on frieght liners and ford diesel trucks. Now I only work on my own ford diesel and occassionally help out my friends. Great life.
Hi ,nice tool set man. im 25 years old, becoming a Diesel Tech. I wanted to be a Cop but my heart is in a garage working with tools. How did you like working for Freightliner? and other shops? do diesel techs work off of flat rate?
I can only dream of owning all that gear :( nice collection mate!
Really in-depth video thank you. It’s been a long time why don’t you do an update of the stuff you’ve gotten?

great great tools
awesome. I thought I had a big toolbox, guess not. going to try to get a couple vids up of it soon. I have seen that goodyear racing brand before. I bought a set of metric ratchet wrenches of that brand for my father a couple years ago, I bought them at Canadian Tire. I have that same stubby snapon set, but I noticed yours skips a few sizes, mine goes from 8 to 19, but I bought the sockets separately from the ratchet, maybe that's the difference. you have lots of extras, and no extra space.

my favorite is the BIG Wrench Drawer:-)
That is a damn impressive tool box! You have a lot of duplicates, but who cares. The more, the better!
awesome collection. How do you like the Carlyle ratchets? both of my 3/8 swivel ratchets broke the first day I used them. Also you should keep your torque wrenches in its boxes, from what I heard it can effect the calibration from banging around.
Nice spread my friend
awesome video
What wrench rails do you use? They looked great
you have the tool box of my dreams
I liked your video bro just because you have truecraft tools, bought mines at pep boys auto store back in the days.
Emin hvac, I want to order the cases for my torque wrenches which I got from the pawn shop. So far the carlye ratchets have worked well, bought them new and they where kinda pricey though.

Top drawer in the bottom box is 1/2” ratchets, sockets, impact gun, 1/2 extensions.
The right bank has a hammers and punches drawer, a precision measuring tool drawer, screwdrivers drawer…
You get the idea. Everything related in its own drawer. No labels needed because nothing is scattered.
Nice tool box
great tools
nice set of tools you have.must of took along time to get all them
Супер инструмент! Супер мастер!👍👍👍👍👍
Where you get that flash light sun gun that's awesome

lol your video should be a college drinking game every time you say it's good to have you take a shot.. anyways kidding aside I love your tool set up you got everything lol 300 wrenches. You got a nice snap on collection I'm jealous I wanna know how you actually used all your tools that you say have been good, well how many times have you used them man you just got so much I know you gotta have a favorite tool of each type. I'm dying for a set of snap on double box end long 0 offset wrenches in metric. Christmas is coming less than 2 more months.Are you a professional mechanic or extreme DIYer? Anyways thanks for your video as it's my favorite tour.
how do you like your boxes? I am in the market for new boxes and have been shopping around and figured I'd ask how you like the US General's
trust me when you need those little husky pliers they will be worth every penny, I have the kobalt set of them and have only used them once under the dash but nothing else would have fit.
So which drawer has the doctor McGillicuddy for a quick pop once in awhile
Are the two bigger boxes 44 or 56 inches. Looking to pock up a couple US Genrals like yours
nice buddy
