Awesome setup!
Thanks to you for the most part!
I'm waiting on an interview for an aviation airframe apprentice. Hoping to use a bunch of your stuff if it comes through, I need to go through the tool options yet to see if you carry all the sets I need!
First time watcher, when I first became a professional mechanic almost 10 years ago my mom also helped me buy the tools I needed so I didn’t have to take mine from home. Couldn’t of done it without her. Moms are awesome !
My mom did the same thing. God bless mama
Pathetic
@@sambeck8010 loser
Yes they are!
Just finished MMI an got right to work an got a job at speed shop my mom said she'd held me to but then she kick me outta her home an basically stool all my MMI book an isn't helping me
This awesome!! When I got my first professional mechanic job working in a high performance speed shop my dad gave me a $10,000 loan to build my first box ( he was a NHRA Mechanic ) so he understood what I needed. And 4 years later when I had enough money saved I handed him an envelope with $20,000 cash as an appreciation an pay back for the help he gave me. Fast forward 17 years now, we build 6 sec capable crate engines for local guys.
Dear son,
you forgot the loan I gave you.
thats soo awesome
What is your local area? Not forcing you to say it, but I might like to buy a used engine from you guys. If you have anything used.

Nothing wrong with your parents helping. I’m 30 and my parents still help make sure I have what I need to succeed. I’m so happy for you.
Your mom is a great mom! Mine bought me a 60" Macsimiser tool box from Mac Tools and also loaned me $2500 to start at my dad's automotive shop. My dad helped me out on the education side and my mom hoped me on the money side. I love my mom for it and, yes, I love my dad too
I like your last name lmao
You have awesome parents good look to your family's business 👍
When I was 7 my grandpa gave me all hand me down tools, he got at yard sales started off with a toolbox I got for $25 at a yard sale 20 years later I got my shop in PA working on any older cars buying 20s and 30s cars all day long and reselling them
First of! those are the parents who don’t stop supporting their kids even after they are grown! Blessed to be a child raised by parents like that. I get to pass down the support to my kids ❤
Tech school kid here, moms and grandmas are the best
A lot of times when you live a good life and are a good person, you become surrounded by people who love and care about you and go out of the way to help you out. Glad to see that you have some good people in your life dude
Back in 2019 for Christmas my mom gave me her card bought me my first tools box (us general 5 drawer) and said buy what ever you need for work (I started off in a tire shop at 18 years old) I got all my basics 🥲couldn’t have done it without her ❤️
Your mom is awesome. Wish I had a mom like yours. You are blessed
Good luck on the next chapter of life. The real blessing sounds like it’s your wife, mom, and good friend who hooked it up… subbed, and great content thanks for sharing :)
When I started, I started with basic hand tools- assorted sized ratchets and sockets, screw drivers, pry balls, pliers, etc. but my uncle sent me a few of my grandfathers air tools he inherited. They weren’t expensive or special in any way. But he explained my grandpa got him his first set of tools when he started so he was going to send me something that would get me buy until I could get new stuff. Many years later, I have upgraded but have the old stuff at home and still makes me tear up when I see my grandpas name engraved on my tools
That is awesome that your Mom helped you get started. Take advantage of all the “time” you don’t have to spend not doing without, & help your Mom back. That’s an awesome way to get started in any trade. Your mom deserves many Sunday Brunches ;-)
Awesome setup! I'm an aircraft mechanic and love the Icon tool line. Congratulations on the new job.
I’m an A&P too! Where are you at?
Right to the heart! My dad took me out while I was on leave and we went to Sears! He bought me all the tools I could ever need and I still use them all after two years! It’s about time I move on to a small cart but never gave it much thought. I’m living out of my tool bag and it’s FULL of stuff. Super happy for you!!!!
I love hearing stories like this!
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I’m so happy for you!
Having a new job that you’re this excited about, and having a wife and mum be this supportive! So wholesome!
This video is awesome. I love watching tool storage videos but your story makes this so much better. You have a beautiful family on your side and wish you the best.
The hardest part is uncertainty. I admire your courage. Best of luck to you.
You have a good family my friend. Good luck on your new adventure.
I have the same 34” full bank roll cart in black as well. I think you’ll love it. It rolls well too with the large casters.. and the top is deep enough for plenty of stuff. I’m not quite finished setting it up/filling it up,(outgrew the US General smaller 5-Drawer cart). Also remember to utilize magnetic holders!! (Sides, back, lid, etc.).
Good luck with the new gig! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
First time watcher! You hit the nail on the head for a powersports dealer! Except for buying your own zip ties, did that too and now I have tons of extras from projects here and there! Awesome setup, Need it!
Sorry for the unnecessarily loud time lapse music - I messed up - I’ll do better next time
Just found your channel. I like your calm way of telling your story. Easy and informative. Keep updating! I can't say enough how blessed guys like us are with support from family and friends. Makes the journey so much more meaningful. Take care and good luck on the change!
What does the tool box look like now?
@@monteblackburn733 - ruclips.net/video/EavkxEmObo4/видео.html
That’s a more up to date look at the box as it sits now - it’s just a lot dirtier now 😬
Don't be sorry, man. It's a learning process. Great box set up. I hope life is going well for you.
Andy, it seems like the music is always too loud (in my own stuff) right off the bat, and the microphone audio is always too low. I wouldn't sweat that too much! Most videos anymore, I'll try to find a 'baseline' off of one of the popular RUclips channels, and then level my audio out to try and match that. I wouldn't sweat it, looks like you've got a great following so far and a ton of views on this video for being a fairly new channel!
Shout out to all the moms and wife's that support us men/boys. My dad purchased many of the tools I needed when first started my automotive career. Awesome cart
Awesome! Congratulations on your new adventure. I’m sure looking back you’ll see it was a great decision.
Got to love mom. That's really cool that she would do that for you, love a supportive parent.
My wife was talking about getting me a similar toolbox but as a novice mechanic I had no clue how to set one up. Thank you!
I’m a fleet mechanic I just bought the same tech cart in red I absolutely love it ,also have both the roll carts u.s general makes there awesome
This video warmed my heart. its awesome to see your Family want to support you and your goals! hope life is treating yall good!
Congratulations Andrew I'm so happy for u.
Such a wholesome man God bless you
My mom before she passed for Christmas two years ago got me the biggest Kobalt tool set you can buy since I liked doing my own auto work thanks to that set i became a mechanic officially for a career and I still use the heck out of those sockets I think of her anytime I use it I'm so grateful that it has like special bits I wouldn't have thought to buy yet have come in so handy
Nice setup man!, I’m just now getting into the automotive field I just graduated and I start at a car dealership and this exactly what I need right now but hey we all have to start somewhere I’ll be buying things little by little. Nice video !
Andy thank you for sharing your wonderful toolbox tour I am watching from South Africa
Your mom is badass! And so is your friend who hooked you up. Congrats on the new job! Also awesome donut media tee.
That's a bad-ass custom work bench! Nicely crafted design.
Sweet setup...thanks for sharing it with us
I also own the same vessel screwdriver set there awesome you’ll love them ,I’ve slowly bought every wrench set icon makes and the double box end ratchet wrenches are absolutely awesome
First time watcher. Great tool haul. You are very lucky to have all these supportive people around you! Good luck at the new job!
as a non mechanic (might do the study in the future ) i find it very relaxing to watch you fill a toolbox i dont know why
Awesome video! I remember my first time getting into the HVAC trade 7 years ago ny mama gave me some money for all my handtools and a nice set of power tools! Helped me out a bunch!
CONGRATS, AND THANKS FOR ALLOWING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A SETUP
Props to your mom for buying all this. Crazy. I'm a student in mechanics, I've been working on my bikes for a while, now started to get onto cars, but I buy all my tools myself. My parents barely buy me anything tool related. That will take me ages lol Nice video man!
Congrats on the new start. I have the same box and I love it.
First time watcher, loving the content ! I just put my first tool box together and love getting some ideas from yours. Thank you very much, keep it coming !
good luck on your new journey! keep giving us updates
Thats pretty genuine how honest and down to heart you are! Ill subscribe!
Love the shout out to Mom !
Great video and shout out to your mom! That’s awesome.
Super thumbs up for Moms support of your new endeavor.
Thanks mom! Good luck at the new gig!
Congrats on the new job bud. I just had my last day at Jiffy Lube yesterday and there I didn’t need to bring my own tools or anything. Although I was heading towards the 2nd mechanic position but things just weren’t working out, so I finally got a call back from a Chevrolet dealership and they offered me a job as a lube tech to at least get my foot in the door and start, so I’m supposed to start Monday, so I gotta fill my current toolbox and organize everything how I need to and then take everything out and load it in the back of my truck to take with me AND I a, getting my own Bay Area thank god. But yep, new jobs I get anxious for but I know I’m gonna do what I always do, and give my 200% and do my best and see where we go. Good luck on the new job dude! We both are gonna rock the new jobs!
I’ll never be afraid to admit if my parents helped me and bought me things. That’s what parents are there for, to help you out. My parents are the same way, they are super supportive in pretty much anything that I want to do. And this is how I’m going to be when it’s time for me to have kids, I’ll support them
Honestly a lot of people talk shit about the Harbor Freight tools, but my god for the price you really can’t beat it. I would rather buy Harbor Freight shit for 1/4 of the cost rather than snap-on or MAC, etc. because if shit breaks then I can go just buy another one, not a big deal
I love that he appreciates his momma
Love to hear the excitement in your voice. Good luck on your new adventures.
Good for you on getting the job and it's so awesome you have such a great support system of family and friends, good luck on all of your endeavors.
Moms are the best always being great no matter how old we get !!!
Your Mom is awesome!!! Good Luck and I know you will do great my friend!!
Congrats on having the best mom and good luck on the new job.
You have a very cool and generous mom! Nice garage too!
Love that work bench!
Nice setup and good luck! I've been wrenching on bikes for two dealers and a small shop for the last 17 years. Very enjoyable work if you don't let the occasional frustrating job get to you. I have that heat gun. It does the job fine. Point it up to cool off after use so it doesn't cook off the thermal fuse in the back, and it'll last until the cord starts to fall apart.
I absolutely love it man. WOW
That's an awesome parent to help you keep your tools at home. When I first started at FireStone I ran into the same issue. Took my tools to work which made doing anything at home a tremendous pain in the butt. And GOD FORBID you forget to grab 1 tool that you don't think you'll need because it always works out that it's the one thing required to do something.
That's an awesome mom u got man 👍
Interesting watching you set it all up. Gave me some ideas for modifying my layout. Thx. Watching from Ontario Canada
I like the set up. I too have a US General box (got it last year). Mine is just a service cart so not full bank like yours. For Christmas one year my parents bought me a Masterforce 36 inch full bank cart from Menards after seeing me struggle with space for my tools, and my now brother in law gave me one of his old boxes for use a top box for it. That was every bit of 6 years ago and it was truly the best gift ever. When I graduated for small engine repair last year I added to my collection of tools (hence the US General box), and now I’ve got a good amount of storage. Almost need the actual topper for my big box. Best of luck on the new job! Hopefully it goes well for ya!
fair play dude thats a really nice set up, took me best part of 7-10 years to get to the point of knowing what i needed and what i didnt. cant fault any of your purchases.
Mom is the real MVP
Your Mom is AWESOME 🎉…… my mom is the same way😊 they are the greatest 😊🎉
Just a quick tip that will hopefully avoid headache down the line… Chrome sockets are for wrenches, the adapter is ok for a drill. For impact wrenches & drivers look for black oxide finish and label that says “rated for impact” or “impact ready”. Some heavy duty Chrome may work for a bit but generally they are thinner walled and have a balance of higher hardness & lower strength that’s not designed to withstand or take advantage of the concussive blows from an impact’s anvil. At some point they’re likely to crack. The higher strength/lower hardness of Impact sockets will probably make your tool run better as well, deforming to absorb and transfer force over a longer period of time, causing less rattle and power lost as heat
I use the impact sockets for everything unless a special case arises. chrome is a waste unless you have a space concern.
@@Garandmasthumb yep have never bought a set of chrome sockets there just isn't a use very often, they are almost double the price of the impact sockets and the impacts work on a ratchet and my guns
@@owenouthwaite8848 They're easy to clean after engine repairs
That was wayyy too extra , if you dont know tools like that you shldnt be a mechanic..
@@Isteveym gotta learn somehow.
Awesome man great video
Subscribed for the shout out to your mom. I am in a similar situation in that I just accepted an automotive technician position after working in offices and schools the last 6 years. I had already started my collection of tools, but would love to fill it out with more. Good luck out there!
How was making the switch? May I ask if you have to take a pay cut? I'm in a similar position where I want to get out of supervision and into the automotive industry.
Great tools. You did a great job preparing your new job box. I wish you good luck.
Beautiful set up and love the support from the family!!! My mom is the same way brother keep up the grind!
Shout out to all the moms out there. I love it.
Great setup, good luck with the new job!!
I Love tool time i go there for everything there so helpful
Such a nice thing for your mum to do. Hope the jobs going well!
Moms are pretty great. Good luck in your endeavor!
Good luck to you on your new adventure! Great video. Cheers!
Good luck on the new job! Mom is superb for getting u the extra tools u need. She wants u to win! Good luck bro
Grown as man getting kind of sponsored by his mom thats fucking awesome lol i wish my mom would do that. Love and appreciate your parents while we still have them 👍🏽👍🏽
Gotta love the moms supporting us ❤️
Awe, good old mom. So sweet!
My grandparents bought me a big Craftsman tool kit when I started as a tech back in 2002. I still use some of them today.
14 years ago when I first started tech school, I bought nothing but Harbor Freight. Two months ago I finally up graded to Milwaukee electric tools and I still own and buy nothing but Harbor Freight and Amazon tools.
Love the video
Awesome haul and I hope you’re enjoying the job. Your mom sounds awesome
My first professional job as a mechanic started with Milwaukee battery powered tools and harbor freight sockets, ratchets, wrenches, 3 ton jack, and power probe 3, all together I made it through jobs on Porsche's, Corvettes, and Mercedes 😎👌
Pretty lucky you’re mom supported 90% of your tool build.. most arnt so fortunate
you have an amazing mom take care of her
You have the GREATEST mom EVER !!!
Love tool time! Have many tools from there, til an an accident retired me.
Spray adhesive the drawer liners to the box drawers, they bunch up over time when opening and closing the drawers with tools.
It's great that you have a ton of organization type of tool holders.
I never worked at a dealership, only my own supermoto and street bike and I am a general car and small truck mechanic for 13 yrs, now im part time due to attending my local university for mechanical engineering and maths. You have all the basic tools but a power probe, blind hole bearing puller on a slide hammer, spark tester, compression and fuel pressure gauges, digital tire inflators (consistently more accurate over the life of the tool), everything else is specialty tools that you'll figure out as you work in the field. Power sports assembly checklists and inspections, oil changes, tires and tubes, battery and stator checks and installs, fork rebuilds with checking for tubes surface corrosion and of course new case rebuilds if their chain snapped or gears were grinding.
Good luck dude, consistent good work is always better than fast but un-thorough work.
Great video! Best of luck!!
your video quality is crazy, nice box setup. I hope you keep making videos bc I love them
You're going to need a long Phillips head screwdriver and the SnapOn 5CF 5" Ignition pliers. They are great for electronic plugs, tight carburetor screws where using an impact driver is impractical, and any other tight fit items you need seperated. Honestly the best plier they make. I love it. Those will be absolutely necessary as a motorcycle tech.
That's the kind of mom to have!
NICE SHIRT!!!
First time watching the video, I started out with a harbor freight box, harbor freight tools, some craftsman, some Lyle tools, vise grips, channel lock tools, Milwaukee tools, and few others, after I started getting my certs and time under my belt, I bought a used repo snap on box dirt cheap, and started going to tool auctions and stuck gold with a few things from snap on and was able to warranty it out for the new version and then built my current set up, my harbor freight box is in my garage but my is general service cart sits next to my snap on box and inside my work tool box is a range of mixed tools not all snap on. I love the video and also putting together beginning tool boxes.
awesome set up! Good luck on the new adventure!
I love this. Happy for you, and wishing you much luck. The price for a new life has always been your old one, growth is good.
