Great list, just a few things I would add that make my job easier: A formable-funnel for ram 1500's with the 5.7 and the oil filter right above the steering rack (thanks Chrysler!) ~$20 on amazon A screw cap for removing 6.7 Cummins filters through the wheel well without spilling ~$15 on amazon 21mm impact socket for Promaster lug nuts 8 and 10mm hex for diff/tc services 19.5mm socket for badly swollen lug nuts on Cherokees and Compasses I like a claw-style 3/8 drive oil filter wrench for 2.4L multi-air's I think I needed a 15/16" socket for lug nuts on a heavy duty pickup, could be wrong It's the stupidest little thing, but a small squeeze bottle with motor oil for lubricating O-rings on oil filters. I wish this video was around when I started a little over a year ago, it would have given me more confidence.
The gearwrench isn't exactly the same as the Matco, they are similar but not the same. The Armstrong Maxx 12-994(1/2") 11-994(3/8") and 10-994(1/4") are the exact same as the Matco, the handles differ, the Armstrongs are more elegant in my opinion
At one point Matco was under the Apex branding. You can switch the internals between the 88 and 90T ratchets. Many tools are/were identical between the brands even still.
5000 views holy crap thank you all for comments and support on this video good or bad I’m gonna try to put out more videos for you all check out my latest video for the special tools you need!
I have a mix of everything , snapon, harbor freight, craftsman tekton.... I also have a digital caliper......my harbor freight Pittsburgh wrenches, just like his, measure nice and snug for both open and box end. In fact, they measure more snug than some of my snapon. Is it as durable? I duno.....but until it looks deformed, it's in spec and not rounding fasteners.
I just picked up the 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2” Gearwrench ratchet set like the orange one you have. I love them so far
Great list, just a few things I would add that make my job easier:
A formable-funnel for ram 1500's with the 5.7 and the oil filter right above the steering rack (thanks Chrysler!) ~$20 on amazon
A screw cap for removing 6.7 Cummins filters through the wheel well without spilling ~$15 on amazon
21mm impact socket for Promaster lug nuts
8 and 10mm hex for diff/tc services
19.5mm socket for badly swollen lug nuts on Cherokees and Compasses
I like a claw-style 3/8 drive oil filter wrench for 2.4L multi-air's
I think I needed a 15/16" socket for lug nuts on a heavy duty pickup, could be wrong

I’d add a 20mm deep impact socket for the mega swollen lug nuts, and a 24 ounce ball pean to help seat the sockets onto the nuts.
And torx bits.
You need a full set of half sockets for lug nuts. They're not that much money.
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍
Thank you 👍
As a mopar lube tech the worst thing I can hear at the shop is “we’re out of 349’s and 339’s!!” 🤣

40$ for a body clip tool.... Affordable?
If you can’t afford 40 dollars there are much cheaper options
eBay and Amazon have some cheap ones.
