The Mechanics stethoscope,l use a long screwdriver putting the tip near the noisey part and the handle near my ear.Another good under $20.00 tool is an inner tie rod tool,looks like an exhaust clamp with teeth in it.l have one and worth every penny
this format seems very familiar...haha good video buddy. That magnetic tool with the grabbers looks like next level version of my magnetic telescoping tool I do have.
Excellent advice and tool choice Jason. When you showed the magnet tool I immediately thought on the magnet tool I have. I bought off a Snap-On Toll truck in the late 80's and it was 30.00. I cried and sputtered about the cost but needed it so bought it. You never pay too much for quality as that magnet tool will still pick up a 3/4 drive ratchet and hold on to it.
I purchased a stethoscope from Harbor Freight a number of months back. It works good enough. Just remember to use a little bit of care, 'cause the sounds you hear can be quite loud.
The trays use to be free at HFT with coupon and one tool that needs to be in every mechanics box is a good vaccum gauge...which most don't know how to use.
Great suggestions Jason, the only other one I would add especially for fellas and felletts working on modern rigs is a remote hose clamp tool, saves so much cursing and damaged hands when dealing with those Satan invented spring hose clamps.
Jason, excellent recommendations with the tools. I have always had the grabber, this thing is worth its weight in gold. So is the tire pressure gauge. I have one in each of my vehicles. The mag dish is a great idea. Thanks buddy. Big Al.
Often, these "top 5 must have" lists aren't really all that "must have". But I really agree with your list. Those grabbers are fantastic and scary at the same time. ;) That first camera angle had me wondering if you had shrunk!
hi guy i commented on a problem you had with dale i never did get a reply back from you it was the push rod that broke and what happened was it the lash to tightare how to set 0 lash what ended up being the problem the cam the lifters the springs or what i am curious please rewply
Sorry I missed your comment before! As far as I can tell, when I had the heads rebuilt, the new springs may have been too strong for the old stock rockers and push rods. I replaced all pushrods and rocker arms and have had zero problems since in over 8000 miles!
@@OldeCarrGuy I would not disagree, but for small stuff like measuring voltage, current and continuity, the harbor freight one worked fine for me. I am sure for serious people it’s a toy.
All those suggestions were fantastic, especially the magnetic tray and the grabber.
Glad you like them!

Good tip! Thanks Walter
Great video! Next week, top 20 tools for 5 bucks!😎
That sounds a bit energetic! Lol
Great suggestions!! They are all tools that once you have them you ask yourself why didn't I buy this sooner
Exactly!

One of those things i said I was going to try! Fingers crossed.

Right on. Made in USA costs more. This Chinese crap will have to do for the price.
Very good ideas for garage tool box.
Glad you like them!
Very good list.
Thanks Kip.
Got em all except for tire gauge. Never tried a digimatic one. I still use the two step inflation method. Maybe i should step up.
No time like the present!
I need that tire pressure gauge! Will let my wife know as the birthday annual clock is coming up for me!

Hey Great Advice! 👍
Hey, thanks Bud
Good finds.

Good point Mr. Evil
Loved this and great suggestions. Great video!
Yay! Thank you!

100% Princess auto used to do the same thing here in Canada.
Nice thanks for the info on the tools! ☺️
Thanks for watching.

I do have more tools to highlight. and yes, the Satan's hos clamp tool is one of them.
Problem is the 20 dollar hose clamp tool causes some frustration too.

Thanks Big Al!
Thanks for the info
You bet
I have the magnetic tool holder things but I don't think I have ever used them, yet.
Isn't this where Murphy's Law comes into play! Thanks for watching.
@@OldeCarrGuy Yes absolutely. Murphy and his law kick my butt every time I work on a car. Every tool I drop rolls to the middle of the car every time.
Keep up with the solid content and advice!
Thanks, will do!
I got everything good sir wow finally I have it all ☺️
lol Stay tuned for more top 5 must haves...
I have 4 of the 5 ,but maybe a magnet type flash light for night time
There's a man who knows must have tools. lol
@@OldeCarrGuy Dad taught me well thanks

Good list.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have 4 out of 5 I did have 5 out of 5 but over time and old age my stethoscope give up. So now I use a PVC pipe. It works good for me.
If you don't have the tool you need, use the tool you have.
Agreed!
Thanks!

Links in the description! lol thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. I have several magnetic trays, and I really like them, until the magnets come unglued. Am I the only one with this issue?
Not at all. We have several at the shop i work at and they are doing the same thing.
Have you NEVER heard of superglue?
@@ronaldjohnson1474 Sure. Tried that. Super glue eventually gets brittle and fails too.
Holy crap do I win something. I have all five of those. Lol
You Do win Mark. An all expenses paid trip to ................ No! Not really! Thanks for watching though.

You’re allowed to!
A multimeter anyone???
Definitely a must have tool, but the good ones aren’t under $20
