- here’s my guide to tools needed to be a toyota tech! i’ve been asked many times to make this video so here it is for y’all! this doesn’t cover everything you’ll need, but a broad overview from lube rack to main linewhat you’ll use daily. there’s a few things i forgot after i rewatched it so i apologize, 17mm stubby wrench for power steering racks is essential. as well as a torque wrench (which was in the video just forgot to note it😅), and a multimeter.
anyways, let me know feedback and thank you for the love and support. 🤘🏻

"YoU CaNt UsE ThAt As A bReAkEr" laughs in lifetime warranty
what’s crazy is i’ve never broken it…. yet lol
@@TxToolGuy got the same one brother, just in the locking flex head. I put pipes on the end puts shit loose. Still haven’t broken it lol. And I work on heavy equipment so you know it’s all rust and dirt
@@TxToolGuyI have! It broke for its first time this year after abusing it for a hard 5-6years as my breaker bar ect
I carry around this tool in the car in case I need to change a flat. It is the medium sized snap on 3/8” flex head ratchet (green😉), just like the one you showed, with the 17mm deep wheel socket on me at all times. You might consider keeping around something similar in the trunk of your car because once what happens to me happens to you also, you’ll be so paranoid that you might also pack a floor jack too while your at it lol😂 the factory bmw lug next wrench left me very stranded one night and thats when I found myself standing in the local tool truck. What I didn’t know what was up ahead was going to be a slippery slope because that was like 6 years ago and that one ratchet and wheel socket slowly escalated into a full tool bag packed with all the essentials a guy can need for his far from reliable classic bmw m3 🤣
Ps….I’m not a mechanic by trade, I just enjoy working on my own cars and building them as a hobby. That doesn’t mean that 3/8” ratchet and it’s baby brother the 1/4” flex don’t get used nearly every other day and since they are my primary go to ratchets I can say based on my experiences of using them as breaker bars and more lol I’ve only just once broken the gear set inside the 3/8 ratchet . Which was earlier this year I got it warrantied and the head rebuilt and that’s things ready for another decade of useage and torquing wheel studs 😂😂😂😂 that’s quality you just can’t get anywhere else. Stop being cheap and buy yourselves some nice shit you won’t be sorry you did once you realize once you been missing out on all this time, talk about ergonomics 🤭😮💨😮💨 ok dam this was long hope someone gets some amusement out of this and some useful insight if you’ve been on the fence about spending snap on type money for tools 🤷🏼♂️
Just to let you know, the Rust Belt is not called that because things are more rusty there. It's called that because it use to be the steel belt when American manufactured steel (US Steel) now the steel economy has died out for the most part in America, now it's called the Rust Belt
I finally bought my first Toyota (2007 Sequoia)a few months back and absolutely love it! I have also been wanting to upgrade my old hand-me-downs and HF tools to something nicer I can give to my sons when they are older. I appreciate you making this so I know what to spend my money on first.
that’s awesome! that’s why i made this channel, i appreciate the support 🤘🏻
The brake spring tool for the trucks is pretty useful. Also that double box wrench with the 15 degree offset in 14x17 is pretty money too.
I’ve been a Toyota fan my whole life (non mechanic), ‘04 4runner v8 ‘14 4runner trail edition now ‘23 Gx460 and ‘16 ram 1500 hemi. I’ve accumulated a lot of snapon on tools over 35 years. I just did the parking brake on the ram which had a seized parking lever. Drum brakes inside the rotors was a major PIA but I must admit, that trim tool by snapon was so useful esp with the pin clip and helping to release the parking cable. Never thought I’d use it on anything but trim clips. Love your videos. Btw - I picked up the 1/2” 24” snapon breaker bar w/45 degree offset is now my favorite, time to retire my 18”.
OMG thank u. Youngster all these years im around i now realize how dull i was using a socket set an tape measure .u have triggered the senses in my brain .i now realize all the socket sizes are in the set but some are labelled as fractions(SAE , standard) 5/8is 16 & 11/16 is 18. Thanks again youth for your review👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Great video without swearing!
When my breaker bar broke before my 1/2 inch ratchet, I knew it was time to retire the breaker bar.
The best oil filter housing tools I found were from Matco, made from machined steel with a chrome finish. They sell two, one normal for most Toyotas and one slightly bigger for Tundras. They work well on both the metal and plastic filter housings, even when the plastic ones have wear on them. I have the same blue point one you have. I didn’t buy it, it was struck on a Toyota Corolla’s filter housing.
Thanks dude. Appreciate your content. Subscribed.
thank you for the support 🤝🏻
Great video 👍🏻
Much better channel the DP the Tool Bag. Just my opinion, keep up the good work young man.
I love my set of Matco long double flex ratcheting wrenches, you can buy them under many different brands and they also act the same as a zero degree offset wrench. Also important to mention that you will need a good set of picks, doesnt have to be Snap On but they are the best in that department imo
Koken is definitely Japan’s Snap On. Have a lot of their stuff and love it like my made in Japan Toyotas sitting in my driveway!
those J vins! haha. and yeah Ko-Ken is a great example of Japanese craftsmanship
I have some KTC tools, they are definitely Snapon quality.
I always use the first ratchet to install those cartridge oil filters
Dude!👍🤘
I need that koken nut grip in a 10&11 universal socket!! And that koken 1/4”extension 6 piece set and the full set of 1/4” nut grip sockets but they are going to have to wait until next year 🥲😏 I told myself no more tools this year as of the moment I still hsbe yet to pick up my latest snap on pocket pry bars that came in in my color 😂
This provides a detailed explanation of each tool and its usage. Unfortunately, I declined an offer from a Toyota dealership because I need a flexible schedule to take care of my kids for now.
dang, that sucks to hear! Toyota was a great brand to work for while i did
The Green Snap-on 3/8" in 1/4" body w/ the industrial finish is nice!! I've not seen that one before, so now I'm on the hunt. Not a Green guy, but I would change it to either Red or Purple.
good luck! lol. it’s been discontinued. i’m thankful to have two, it’s a black hard handle ratchet with industrial finish. i just swapped handles and head kits
@@TxToolGuy you wanna trade…. I have over 105 Snappy’s
tempting… lol. but i wanna keep it because i have a matching 3/8” one
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME , AWESOME , AWESOME ,,,,,,,,,, THE TOOL SELECTIONS ARE AMAZING FOR THE JOB AND THE TOOL BRANDS ARE THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY . I AM TRYING TO PUT A SOLID SMALL TOOL BOX TOGETHER FOR CHRYSLER VEHICLES BECAUSE THAT IS THE DEALERSHIP I AM AT . LIKE I SAID YOU ARE THE MAN WHEN IT COMES TO THE TOOL GAME I WILL DEFINITELY BE FOLLOWING EVERY TOOL CHOICE YOU MAKE . THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AND I KNOW IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP BUYING THESE WONDERFUL TOOLS AND THIS IS WHY I HAVE THE GREATEST RESPECT FOR YOU SIR THANKS.
Hell yeah love that TSX in the back 😜
haha that was a side job i was doing so i drove it to the shop 😂
@@TxToolGuy nothing wrong with that lol
I used to break 3/8 ratchets and 14mm sockets pretty regularly doing oil changes on cars that had been at jiffy lube
good old 15 min or less
Im here in texas too i understand the heat and thankfully we aint in the rust belt
I use the assenmacher 640 and it’s such a snug fit, it’s 64mm and that snap on is 65mm fyi
So FCF head on a long flex handle for that green handle ratchet? I gotta get one of those.
What are the internal dimensions of those epiq drawers. Can’t find that info anywhere online and my snap on dealer doesn’t carry epiq boxes unless you’re throwing your 401k his way.
Hello I am a beginner mechanic so Im still new but the only tool I don't understand from this video and even in general is how do brake bleeding machines work? I though brake bleeder machines require an air compressor? Do I have to buy a little air compressor if I want to use a brake bleeder? I am in a wheelchair and I can't go on a tool truck and I don't want to buy from a tool brand online but what store do you recommend to buy one..
Thank you o much for making this video! You truly helped me so much!
you’re welcome! and the air brake bleeder has to hook up to a compressor. there’s a feed bottle you put on the master cylinder full of fluid then hook up shop air to the bleeder unit and pull the trigger
Thank you, sir for another great video. I enjoy all your content, I'm not a professional mechanic, but I enjoy working on my own Toyota's. Could you please provide the part number for your Snap-On ratchet with the green handle with a 3/8 anvil in the compact head. Thank you. Much appreciated.
that one doesn’t have a part number because i made it. too a ratchet, knocked the handle off, swapped it with green and then replaced the head with a 3/8” kit
@@TxToolGuy Thank you. Much appreciated.
Matco just started selling that exact thing in a locking flex head, saw one on the truck yesterday @ILwoodsman
would you need the same stuff for subaru
Just wondering who you prefer to buy Koken through and how smooth their warranty process is?
straight from kokenusa.com
got a 10% code too TXTOOLGUY10. warranty has been painless though i havent really used it much
I would say get an impact asap. Im not a professional but as someone who does all his own car Maintenance having an impact was a game changer. Right now you can get the best deal on the best budget impact made by TTI who makes Milwaukee. The ryobi p262 mid torque with 3 batteries (2,4&6 amp hours) a charger and a shitty bag all for $200.
yes i agree, an impact, but not an electric impact which is what i stated in the video. a 1/2” impact is essential, but starting out you don’t need cordless
@@TxToolGuy like I said Home Depot has the ryobi p262 with 3 batteries charger and bag for $200 right now. Can you get an air impact and compressor for that price? People knock on ryobi but it’s made by Milwaukee’s parent company tti and their new one plus high performance line is pretty comparable.
i totally get your point of view on that. but for context on this video and tool guide in particular was tailored to the apprentice/professional mechanic not DIYer. so the cost of a compressor isn’t factored in because that’s shop provided
No 1/2 " battery impact?
Make sure you buy striking prybars
Hi,are you interested in reviewing OBD2 scanners? We have the bluetooth OBD2 scanner with full-system diagnostics,8 reset services and bi-directional control for less than 100 bucks. It works with android and IOS.
You renting the shop or did you build it? I want to build something similar.
we rented it for now
Does that oil filter cup do the cartridge type in 2020 tundras?
yep. does all toyota cartridge
In your experience, what are common uses for the 3/8 dr in a 1/4 body ratchets in Toyota? They are expensive! Why will I need them?
some recalls that are in tight areas in the dash (can’t remember the recall name), some dash work like ac actuators, and really any place you need tight access
I also use a long 24" 1/2" ratchet as a breaker bar should I need one. I'm not convinced of the benefit of using an actual breaker bar... What's the model for that 3/8" hard handle black ratchet (1/4" body)?? I don't see it one Snap On's website.
it’s discontinued. and i had to configure it myself with the help of my dealer
@@TxToolGuy Yeah, I asked my dealer about it... He said he could get it, but only in chrome, not the black finish.
Have you ever done axle seals on 3rd gen 4Runners?
yep, actually just did some about 2 weeks ago
@@TxToolGuy you got the special tool to pull the ABS tone ring and retainers?
you only need it if you’re doing bearings too, you can change the axle seal and not change the bearing if it’s not bad. but yes we have the special tool at the shop for pulling them
@@TxToolGuy right I mean typically if the seals are leaking they’ve ruined the bearings depending how long they’ve been leaking for but yeah I own a 98 3rd gen 4Runner 5 speed but I also had a 01 on that one I did do axle seals and bearings but I made my own custom tool
ahh gotcha. yeah we advised the customer but he said he had just had his bearings done (we all know how that goes lol)
Hello from reddit
what up! you the guy with that Ko-Ken post i commented on?
@@TxToolGuy yes sir that's me
Sexton, Gearwrench, Willams, and many others, are the way to go. Yes there is exceptions, but why pay 300 bucks for pry bars, ashen you can get a set for 100 bucks? Mayhew or such. Snapon is way to high to buy everything from them. You will look back years from now, and think of the money you spent on those over priced tools, and how much money you could have saved!
No offense, but the majority of this Toyota tool guide is what a normal tech should have. Wrenches, ratchets, spark plug sockets, etc... is what a beginner should have to begin with. The only tools that were "Toyota specific" where the axle sockets(missing one), oil filter wrench, and Maybe the combo wrench. You didn't say why you prefer that bluepoint over another make. How about harmonic balancer holders, seal installers, timing tools, head bolt sockets, master cylinder adaptors, adjusters, etc...and yes I did listen to your caveat at the 2:10 mark. Not trying to hate or troll. Just trying to help. Have a good day.
thanks for the feedback! and yeah i know i left some tools off. i noted that in the description, especially head bolt sockets. but i tried to make a broad overview of what you need for toyotas because everyone is at different levels in their career. as an MDT your tool set of waaaaay different than a lube tech. or a heavy line tech. but that’s why these videos can be hard because you can’t tailor to every tech you know?
How do you make any money, when you pay Snapon every week? I'll bet your bill is huge and wont be paid off for years! That is why I only use Snapon with a few special tools. I have 42 years worth of tools and I have everything I need, without the over priced Snapon! I just dont think Snapon is a way to make money, it isnt worth it. It will take years to pay for all Snapon tools. No way is that a smart design! Koken is awesome stuff too, but for only special tools! Why spend every dime you make on Tools?
one who’s always quick to assume! my snap-on bill is actually paid off :) and i don’t spend every dime on tools but thanks for the concern! i put a lot of my money into my family and new house i just bought 😎
@@TxToolGuy You know you owe a ton of money! You Snapon only fan boys are so addicted to Snapon. I'll bet every tool I have will do the job of your Snapon. Dont lie about not owning money to the Snapon Truck. No way you have all that overpriced crap paid for at your age, unless someone left you a ton of money! It's your story, you tell it. You know as well as I do, all those high dollar tools wont be paid for in years!
it’s called hard work, managing your money, and being responsible. all of it’s paid for, but then again i don’t know why that concerns you so much? it IS possible, i don’t know where you turned wrenches but I only worked for shops that paid me what i was worth.
@@TxToolGuy if that is true, congrats, but just think of the money you could have saved by buying something else that would do the job! I agree Snapon does have some awesome and special tools, but I only bought the ones I really needed! I have Mac, Some Snapon, Marco , and a lot of old Craftsman, Gearwrench, VIM, Texton, Williams, and many other great brands! I just get heated when guys post their tools and some of the new techs think they have to have all Snapon! You don’t have to have any Snapon to be a good tech! I have seen many tech jump on the tool truck and just go nuts, then they hide from the tool man when they can’t pay their bill! I have seen it many many times! It is harder today to Find alternatives, because companies like Craftsman and other now sell junk! But if you have all those tools paid off at your age, you are an exception! Any idea what a total is you spent on Snapon? I’ll bet it will blow your mind if you add it up! Have a good day!
@@TxToolGuy I find it crazy how people can hate just because they see someone have things they only wish they could have and own all my tools are paid for
Although i'm not a ASE certified mechanic (I work in the commercial heating and cooling industry) I do most of the repairs on my Toyota/Lexus myself, and I constantly wonder, do any US based Toyota/Lexus mechanics own any KTC/Kyoto tools? Personally I perfer Cornwell, although I do have Matco sets here and there, I always wonder if the KTC tools were good quality tools? 🧰 🔧
I actually have a KTC spark plug set for the toyota 86. it’s great quality, they’re a great japanese tool company 👍🏻
@@TxToolGuy Appreciate the feedback! That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! If there is two things I really wish Toyota would make, that would be their own factory spec metric tool line, as well as motorcycles. 🔧 🏍️ (although it is awesome to finally see Toyota in the Nascar circuit 🏆 🏁)
