A few pretty essential things you missed:
12" steel rule
Utility knife
Magnetic pick-up tool
Magnetic parts bowl
That he didn't mentioned a Magned on some sort of flexible extension is mind buffeling for me.
Lighted magnetic pick up tool. Bunch of magnetic bowls. At least a half dozen 10mm 1/4" drive 6 point shallow and deep sockets.
not crucial but yes nice to have,
I'd add a 6-inch steel ruler, for measuring parts in place on the car where space is tight. It's all relative, however; no two people will ever have an identical list. Everyone's needs and wants are different, based on their experiences and what they think they need to do a job.
I came into the comments for this exact reason and an inspection mirror or a endoscope and I believe a butane soldering iron is better than corded or battery (imho)
Don't forget to get extra 10mm lol
I find I loose 12 and 13 more as they are genuinely more common on a car in my experience
The 10mm socket gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle constantly, the crazy thing is once I buy more 10 mm then I find my old ones but when I need it I lose them all.
@@whiphore I don't understand the joke as I've never lost a 10mm simply by putting my tools back when I'm finished
Literal nightmare back in my ag classes, someone always running off with it, and losing it
Air hammer.
Best advice I was ever given when it came to tools was “buy the cheapest shit to start, if you break it or wear it out. Then you can justify replacing it with the nicer version”
That's actually an amazing piece of advice
Not amazing advice when you got your car apart and you break that cheap tool. Now your stuck without your car for a day or 2
@@NativePride4051 if only there was a way you could borrow a buddys tool. Or have a buddy drive you to the store so you can buy the more expensive version. Or another cheap one as a stop gap....
@@mibmophba some new comers don't have car buddies. Hell I didn't really have friends or "buddies" to call to get a ride or get a tool. Also how you gonna go to the auto store if you aint got another car. And what if you don't have money for a Uber or lyft to and from the auto store.
@@NativePride4051 if you don’t have money for Uber or Lyft. I guess you’re buying the cheap tools anyway.
One tool I recommend getting is a brake caliper compressing tool so you can do your own brake jobs, very cheap and pays its self the very first use. Also it’s good to have different types of lube/grease around like dielectric, brake grease, silicone paste etc so you don’t have to keep buying those little “sample” packets at the parts store
A cheap 6 inch C clamp will compress brake calipers just as well.
@@LeverPhile try doing that with a 4 pot caliper....
@@LeverPhile Good luck using that C clamp on newer cars with electronic parking brakes. Good way to ruin a caliper
@@cody4873 Right, you'd need to unactuate the electronic p brake motor on the caliper first, before using a clamp or screwdriver.
Just unplug the electronic motor and put 12volts across the two pins to release the p brake (generally, always research your car first).
@@LeverPhile Using a clamp of any kind can damage the motor. It has to be turned either clockwise or counter clockwise. Only way to properly reset the motor is by manually disassembling the motor and hand cranking it prior to piston retract or put the car in maintenance mode.
The video I didn’t want. But definitely needed. This gets my hyped for the day I buy a house and set up my garage
As a professional auto technician I can say that this video would be extremely helpful for any new mechanic or even a seasoned tech. All the hand tools and wiring tools are a must have. The Milwaukee stuff is definitely nice if its in the budget.
VERY GOOD feedback, bc I wasn't sure if it'd be worth my time to watch this video. Now I know it IS work my time.
THANKS MUCH!
$4 test light with a sharp probe. If I was managing a shop and a guy didn't have a cheap test light for in case the fancy tools break, I wouldn't hire them. Don't need a whole drawer of test lights, but one as a backup. And bonus points for the $10 harbor freight two lead logic test light.
Yeah I'm starting with just 1/4-1/2" ratchet+socket sets, an impact wrench, and a hammer lol. Anything extra will come as needed
A vise is a must. I don’t know how I lived without one for so long.
12:05
There's really no argument. Just ignorant Americans saying it wrong.
The company has commented officially on their name numerous times.
It's pronounced KA NIP EX; it's German the "K" is hard, not silent.
Finally getting to start my career in automotive and so glad I found your channel. Thank you for the run down on tools I’ve been needing advice. Love how you are honest and speak like the audience is your friend.
As a bodyman it hurt my soul hearing that 1/4” isn’t important
Quinn Michalec for real and he has no ball peen hammer that’s all I use
yeah that one stung! i work on everything from combines to mini bikes and i love my 1/4" sockets!
That was the only thing I could think about through this whole video
YEAH...not just as a body person. The ratchet drive size really IMO depends on the kind of torque you are needing, not all 10mm bolt heads are the same. I snapped many a bolt head with 3/8 that 1/4 probably would not have. Just sayin
Even as a service guy and not a body guy I thought that was weird
1/4 isn’t a “luxury” it’s a necessity
You forgot an obd 2 reader, Really helpful with diagnostics and they have gotten cheap enough it's hard to justify driving to the auto parts store every time a check engine light comes on.
Auto parts gives a really in-depth read that cheap ones don’t
@@jonnnn4895 meh not really I’ve been slanging parts for the zone almost 8 years and our scanners even the new updated ones that do abs , srs and all that jazz are very vague mostly due to the system used, basically 2-600$ paperweights that’s you’ll still either end up throwing parts at or ending up at a shop.
@@jonnnn4895 you're crazy
@@snafuequals u ever went to autozone ? I always go when my codes on it shows what part I need and what the code means for engine light codes would be nice if it read abs and etc
@@jonnnn4895 😐
Long 90° needle nose pliers are my favorite for reaching hard to get hose clamps. Must have
I have a pier of those I found them in my grandpas old tool box.
Best
Just bought a snap on pair, Honda tranny plugs are hard to reach
@@katelynlowe3559 just bought the snap on 5 pack of needle noses. Barely used them yet but already love them
Harbor Freight would be like "yo get everything in that table for $49.99!!!!"
That's one hell of a deal lmao
Yeeeeeessssss! Yes! Yes!
Harbor freight has 2 people lovers and haters Im a lover.
theyre going out of business all their stuff is 50% of
@@swide2750 lol no they arent
A jack and stands is a must !! :P
Came here tonsay this.
Hes got a lift so that's not a must for him :/
ShortGeared or a piece of log
@@ChromeCowboyGaming but we are not talking just about him, most people watching this video are not going to have a lift so jack stands and a jack are a must have
Should be one of the first things on the list
That is definitely a good use of my 40 minutes. Can we get a full on Toolbox tour/ tool collection video too?👍🏻👍🏻
You basically just did get a tool collection vid
Idiot he technically did
Good presentation
@@Yoshi-jy7nq Well no not really at all because part of a tool "box" tour is seeing their layout, how they organize things and specialty tools.
Anyone still coming back to this to buy tools 😂 I know I am
yes
Same
Yup.
i just added all to an amazon list. i just buy em as i need them
A Knipex Pliers Wrench is a great tool as well. They are like an adjustable wrench combined with slip groove/channel lock. Countless uses and they don’t damage the workpiece like channel locks could
I swear Taylor knows exactly what I want to know tools, welders, wheels absolutely love these videos keep it up big man👍🏻
Definitely pick up an impact swivel socket set! The harbor freight set literally changed how I work on cars. I use them 80% of the time now unless it's a deep socket. They dont swivel as much as universal joints so they don't get bound up and make it soooooo easy to get onto hard to reach bolts. Biggest unexpected game changer tool I've probably ever gotten.
Man I have been watching you for years and literally just notice I wasn’t subbed, man I’m glad I saw that. I appreciate all the time you put into teaching and demonstrating, not skipping over the details for flash! Thanks man.
Thanks for the list. I've just started getting serious about my tools and actually just started a new job as a mechanic apprentice at my work. After plumbing for 17 years, time to learn and master a new skilled trade. Slowly building my tool kit.
21 dislikes wtf this man really just spent at least a hr probably 2hrs looking up the tools an posting links
graphic_ twinkie 2hrs 😂
I was thinking more like a couple of days!
Heck of a good job!
YOUZTUBE2000 for sheer I like when you tubers do that my wallet doesn’t though
Haters
He thinks that 1/4in ratchets are unnecessary and doesn't care about breaking ratchets, man needs to respect his tools and start using some more 1/4in drive because it's a necessity.
@@maxotzenberger8374 you need it but you don’t use them enough to warrant the nice expensive stuff.
Dude this is the work of the lord. I wish there was video like this years ago when I first got into cars and working on cars. You nailed it with the list and what is and ins't as important. Keep it up!
I'm starting to build out my Milwaukee power tools and after watching today's upload I referenced back to this video to see which options you recommend. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Hey man, this is probably one of the most important videos I have watched on youtube. It's an awesome video and has really helped me make a lot of choices when it come to buying tools. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Also, an updated version down the line if any new tools or changes are made!
This is awesome. Thanks Taylor.
The complete list in the description is so helpful.
This is probably my favorite video man, I've always been curious about what tools you use the most. I'll be keeping an eye out for some of these tools that are missing in my collection
This has to be the most thorough and practical advice I’ve gotten. Thank you so much.
When you're talking about screwdrivers, and mentions Japanese ones fitting better, many people forget that Phillips is different to JIS.
They look similar and many people think they're the same but they aren't.
This could be what you're talking about.
Yeah JIS is real working on Yamaha bikes.
Doesn't make sense to talk about it though since all screwdrivers you buy nowadays are JIS screwdrivers, since the ISO standard for screwdrivers is the same one as JIS. The issue is when you buy screwdrivers that aren't made to modern spec, in which cause you're buying old outdated Phillips
Philips screw drivers are designed to slip. Use Pozidrive it's designed to hold on!!!
Stavros
Very informative video Taylor! I feel like I already have more than half of these exact tools just from watching your videos for a while. 3/8 stubby impact for the win. If anyone needs an impact, get that one.
I second this.
Great video man. I’m in the same boat as you kind of, was a mechanic for years then went to the military while building cars on the side now I’m getting back into cars as a job and want to go back with a stocked box. Thanks for the tips, always good to hear what someone else uses and why!!
This is a really good set. I'd add plastic trim tools and clip remover. dirt cheap and very useful
Taylor Ray,
I am very grateful & thankful for taking the time to go over the tools!!!
A couple of notable mentions in my experience, Pass-thru sockets. While not a requirement they come in handy say when you have a long alternator bracket bolt you're trying to remove close to a fender well, in occasions like that I prefer them to ratcheting box wrenches. Since you mentioned crank removal, I'd mention chain wrenches for holding the crankshaft when you go to reinstall the crank bolt, I used to ratchet strap the crank arms to the sub frame to hold them before discovering that method.
I've been on the fence on picking up the Stubby impact, so thanks for this. Gonna be grabbing that realllll soon.
Air hammer, chisel, a nice long sharp punch, air compressor plus a blowgun for sure, some type of scanner/code reader as well. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it and I can honestly tell you that your opinion on the KNIPEX and the stubby Milwaukee 3/8 impact is shared on 100% and is spot on both of those tools are my best investment I've ever made and most used tools.
I really appreciate your videos in a huge way my friend. The videos you make are a service to the people that is so very valuable and just wanted you to know that I think you are phenomenal guy and I greatly appreciate you.
Magnet ... thats for damn sure haha
drop so many 10mm that have be saved by a magnet
@@FredricMccubrey Maybe that's just meme but I don't think I have newer dropped sockets somewhere tight. They are secured on the ratchet. But nuts and bolts...
And good size rechargeable magnet light is also awesome
“Don’t really need the smaller pry bars you can use a screwdriver” as the smallest prybar is the dirtiest one of the set
@@fartsoundeffect5013 he’s saying that he uses it a lot derp 🤦🏽♂️
Don’t use screw drivers as pry bar
Thank you so much for this video. I'm somewhat of a new mechanic with my own cars. I had almost all of this in some form but I added a few things to my list and learned a lot. Thank you!
This video has so much value! I appreciate you dropping links for the majority of the items
My college is trying to get students to buy all snap on. We get half off but the price for the set still at 3000. Im not going to be stupid
Good for you but as a rule if you break the same tool 2 times upgrade to the next tier and you will be fine
My college said the same, my harbor freight sockets work well🤷
I would buy 2 sets and flip the tools
Buy two sets, sell one at just below full price and you pretty much have a free set of snapon tools with lifetime warranty.
Great vid! And I'd say a cheap-ish tap and die set can be pretty useful to have as well.
I would agree but opt for the mid to high end taps, or just the most expensive you can afford. Much less likely to break.
Mate a great rundown of the tools you need with no BS no snapon this and that, but real tools to do the job Very refreshing to see a real person doing a real review. Nice work.
Been coming back to this vid for a long time now slowly building my collection. Appreciate the content man 🤝
I recently bought a headlamp after holding it off simply because i was thinking it was overkill and i wasnt going to need it or use it often but mannnn i was wrong! One of my most favorite purchases! Can work on my car(s) outside at night if i want to with little to no issues
It felt like a little kid showing me his toys. Now i know how my friends look at me when i buy a new power tool😂
100% agree with the ratcheting wrenches. They make things so much easier and faster then the normal wrenches. Could be done without, but after using them would never go back!
Taylor, great video! Just the links to all the tools is worth the price of admission alone.
Thanks for all your great research and sharing your experiences!
Haven’t seen it listed anywhere else yet but when I built my first tool set for working on cars I included a C-clamp for doing brakes. Yeah, a lot of the disc brake spreaders are same price any more but c-clamp can do more than just those spreaders as this past year I used one to put bushings into a control arm as I re-did suspension and not all control arms you could buy new but you could find the bushings
Same I haven't upgraded mine for that very reason it's multi purpose and it's just what I'm used to for brakes now
A handful of C clamps in different sizes come in handy for all sorts of things too. Definitely a nice thing to have. And they're not terribly expensive either, as long as you don't go out of you way to seek out the expensive ones.
From my limited experience working on my own cars, the tools that you need are the ones that you don't have.
If you are crafty and creative, you can get away on smaller jobs using what you have. There's always a way to get the job done!
Thank you for the comprehensive list and advice.
Yep, get creative. Make a solution with what you have to work with. Excellent point.
"there's always a way to get the job done" But not done right, get the right tools even if it is the cheapo version.
@@makojuicedaniel9307 Good little sheep!
@@ec6052 naw he's right, trying to repair a car with only a drill and a few sockets and a pair of pliers suck
@@escapetherace1943 What a wimp!
Taylor Ray. A most wonderful video, for which I offer many thanks. As an Englishman who's odometer has just hit 50 i'm looking to start wrenching on my 30 year old Land-rover Defender, and my relatively young (15 year old) 2006 BMW 335i N54 e92. As a younger and much poorer man back in the 90s i had to do much of my own maintenance on some very dodgy cars, and I have kept my tools safe should I ever need them. Since then I've had some male relatives pass away who have placed their tools in my care (I am merely their guardian). What's delightful to see is that apart from a few cordless impact wrenches I have pretty much all that is required, and a few more besides. Keep up the good work my good man, and more strength to your elbow.
Dude this is actually such a good video! I didn’t even know I would need some half of these tools! Spot on 🤘🏼 subscribed!
So basically every tool ever
I've found that a right angle die grinder and rotary tool are extremely useful for restoration work, if there's a lot of rust and old paint and crud to remove prior to treatment and painting. They're more maneuverable than an angle grinder and come in decent cordless versions. Mine are the Milwaukee M12 and I really like them.
And like many I prefer the non-Fuel brushed M12 ratchet, because it's the least expensive and has the smallest head to get into tight spots easier.
Also, if you're working on transmissions then you'll probably need lock ring pliers, which are like snap ring pliers but with flat tips for snap rings with flat tips instead of holes.
And yeah, the M12 3/8" stubby impact wrench is great. Second favorite tool after the die grinder.
I also think that locking adjustable pliers are handy, kind of like an adjustable crescent wrench but with a vice grip-like locking mechanism. Useful for tie rods and whenever you need two wrenches.
And personally, I'd never use non-impact sockets with an impact tool. They'll usually work but you really don't want to risk that one time when they break and throw shrapnel everywhere.
You should get a set of easy outs and a set of twist sockets for rounded nuts and broken bolts. fix them up to work in a small impact wrench then you will not snap the easy outs by putting torque to them.
Great video man, getting into working on cars now and this is really helpful. Ill be buying through your links a fair bit.
You should teach cleetus how to weld 😂
I thought the same thing watching cleetus ‘s video today. Or he should let Taylor come and do his fab work for him. I think it would make another good collab video.
James can weld pretty well, cleetus just likes learning new stuff. Hence why he tunes a lot now even though he has a great LS tuner in his shop
How's that plasma cutter treating u? Thinking about getting one.
Cleetus knows how to weld as much as can be taught, what he needs is practice.
Didnt feel like 40 minutes, good work!
Have been looking for this video for years! Thanks :)
Best explanation I have watched so far - thanks for making this, subscribed!
Was on the hunt for the perfect adjustable wrench too. Found the knipex pliers wrench. Doing alignments is super nice with them!
Carlyle adjustable wrench from Napa is the best one I have found better than the snapon ones or mack ones that my buddies have
Got that right. The 7 and 10 inch pliers wrench almost completely replaced my wrench drawer.

@@SayntStorm I was coming to say it but glad you got it covered
FOCUS YOOUUU FUCK
This is a one video covers all I was looking for, thanx man .
Nice to see another Mechanic who's go to is 3/8"! I see so many of these RUclips guys saying their 1/4" is the go to. The recommended GW 84t is definitely a great budget 3/8 ratchet and was my go to for several years, for most of us the 3/8" ratchet is the tool we'll have in our hand more than any other and if you can afford it ponying up the extra $$ for one of the truck brands is totally worth it if you're doing a lot of wrenching. My personal preference on impacts has always been air, since with a little oil they last a LONG time; batteries are expensive and don't last decades, but as time goes on I'm slowing going towards the battery stuff.
I totally agree on the knipex cobra pliers, best $35 I’ve ever spent and another thing I would definitely get is something called a mechanical finger. Little grabby thingy that can grab ahold of any bolt of lost screw if it falls into a hole where your hand can’t reach!
Don't forget these small mirrors on a telescopic stock
One thing that jumped out as missing to me is a set of flare wrenches for brake lines. I have seen way to many people round off nuts on hardlines using vice grips or open end wrenches. I would be interested to see how the milwaukee ones do since they have more contact.
Thanks! I’m using this video to educate myself on tool names for an apprentice position for mechanics tomorrow
Lovely video. When I was a young enthusiat and unleaded ruled I bought a set of £2.99 spanners, one in Metric and the other imperial. I was gifted a Kamasa Socket set by my sister with a jack and stands. I used to service cars with these when cars were simple. However I then went into high end tools, like Ingersol Rand and Rippoff. Then I found I was too old and cars too compliacted needing scan tools and ramps, with undertrays and I have called it a day now. But lovely to see your take on the tools.
Two talking hands on a steel table and a lot of tools. Got some serious TOT vibes. 👌
so true
That's a pretty good list I think I like that you included the quick connect tool because I've had to use 2 flat heads on each side pushing at the same time and pulling to get them off and it's honestly a pain
I don't work on cars, but I use many of these tools (adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets) to work on machines. A pass-through socket set is very useful, as are a pair of channel locks. Also, don't forget to buy a chest for all the tools, and a sturdy workbench with a vise (Yost forged is a good mid-range option that is still very strong, Wilton Bullet if you are too rich).
Great video! Tx for taking the time to do this
"This guy isn't a mechanic..." *Sees the wobble adapter with electrical tape around it* "Yep he's a mechanic!"
why tape?
@@MrFrambooise You put tape on it so it doesn't flop around while you're trying put the socket on the bolt. Especially useful if you're using an extension. The tape holds it in place but still allows it to flex. I do use this trick often. I even thought of it myself about 25 years ago. Thought I was unique but the internet has proven otherwise.....
I had the exact same thought hahaha
I use orings, you don't get the tape residue goo

I scooped up a set of SK spanners (combination wrenches) for about 60% off on a Christmas sale, love them. My most used wrenches are the gearwrench flex heads.
Tecton makes some excellent price value pliers.
PROTO makes snap ring pliers which convert from inside to outside with the push of a button, wonderful!
Knipex *channel locks" are the best
Curt VanWinter One of my first tool buys ever.....Made in W. Germany!
I'm a big fan of Wranglerstar and he raves about them and not even a sponsored item. To me they look like the newer ChannelLocks. BTW did the same brand of screwdrivers have a steel impact pad on the top like Klein?
Knipex are awesome! Their high leverage side cutters must have
I watched a bunch of these videos before buying my tools and I have to say, yours was the best...I basically ordered 90% of what you recommend. I’m now wanting to build out and outfit my garage at the house. I would love to see a similar video to this one that covers what I would need/ want in my garage (i.e jack, jack stands, creeper, etc). Thx!
How’s it going
^
Just buy it when you need it
I like your setup man! You're not a snapon/matco freak and your tools have been used!
As a newbie DIYer, this video was incredibly informative!
"a 40 minute Taylor video?" "Yes"
Gusmanbro blind? Yes!
Love you Taylor. my goal for 5 more years is to be where your at now. Just turbo k series instead of LS. Maybe at least 1 Doritos boy for fun to build. Thanks for everything you do. I'd offer to help on your team when you go pro am or pro 2. Get my travel cost and sleeping arrangement and no need to pay me for time at the track.

Curt VanWinter life is good
I agree for the most part. I prefer the snap on brand electric ratchet. It has a more slender profile and better reach. Also a big thing is a good set of swivel sockets. I use those about as much as regular ones.
I’m so lucky I ran into this video before building my first toolset. It really helped me
I love u video’s I am 14 and really into cars because of my age though it can’t get a car so I got a l206 go cart that I worked my ass off to get and I am finally doing something to drive and work on love the video keep it up
Nice keep grinding, when i was 15 i started working with a mechanic
You said you were looking for a good crescent wrench, or "adjustable wrench." I recommend the Proto brand wrenches. They are the cat's meow when it comes to crescent wrenches. I haven't found one that even compares.
The snap on adjusables are extremely nice as well.
Another option are Knipex Cobras and Pliers Wrench. Those are amazing and even can do a ratcheting action.
Interesting video. Now I know more about every single tool that I need to start working on cars. Thank you.
Nice startup set of tools, very nice over view, you will help a lot of beginners get started out on the right foot.
Dude didn’t even realize it was 40 min but was so focused and entertaining the whole time . Awesome video 👍🏻
"I have this really big one that goes to 240 ft lbs"
Laughs in HE mechanic
Right I've got a 3/4in proto torque wrench thats about 5' long I honestly hate using it but it works
*laughs in aviation mechanic* 😂
Curious what toruqe spec range you do as a plane mechanic. Ik in heavy ive seen quite a few in the 1000 lbs range.
Awesome video, thanks for putting the time into this!
Very much appreciate you posting this. Recently took a PT position at an auto parts dealer to learn more about vehicles, their components, etc. I knew a lot of this, but most ppl expect me to IMMEDIATELY know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING... (To be more accurate - They assume I'm equipped with a CRYSTAL BALL 😆)
Thank you!
I've definitely cracked chrome sockets using an impact. However I do agree, cheap sockets are better. You're more likely to lose it than to break it. And most every company has lifetime warranty on sockets these days anyway.
Ur missing an air chisel literally one of the most useful tools that I never thought I would have used but be careful where you use it, it can destroy stuff 😂
He doesn't use air tools
He also.doesnt like in the rust belt
Still think he should have 1 it's pulled me out of alot of holes tbh
1/4 ratchet is a must for such as taking off covers, installing water pump. Jobs that needs light pressure.
Thank you for great video , I’m new to cars and tools. And I will use this information
How's about an extendable magnet, ( antenna type)?
I didn’t need to watch this entire video, however I definitely did
That was so satisfying to watch. Good job
I love that he made a video now I can buy stuff that I don’t have that I need ! Love the work
