    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.

    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

    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

      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!

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 can’t/won’t go full time in with wrenching as I broke my back a few years ago and it’s painful to do so, but on average I stay about 3-4 weeks backed up on power sports jobs.
    I started out as a tech almost 20 years ago in a car dealership.

    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!

    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.
