much better to see a cheap toolbox full of tools than someone with a $15,000 toolbox setup thats empty
Farm we custom harvest for has a 73" Snap On toolbox in their shop. Grandson bought it when he was a mechanic. Didn't last very long before he a couple DUIs, etc and ended doing construction now. Beautiful box. Total of a handful of tools inside it. smh Oughta try buying it off him.

This is so very cool, I'm excited to hear how this turns out after going through the ringer with what you do on a day to day basses
Damn, son... That’s a helluva setup! Good inspiration for me!
I like these boxes. I bought a black one because it’s clearly built at a different facility. The black one is the only one that doesn’t have a large gap between the 2 small drawers on the left and the larger drawer on the right.
Love the video. Bad to the bone box. I have the same one but red. Love it.
you won my sub just for the fact that I love your cart and I saw it at HF this afternoon its a killer deal of a box, plus your box is clean as heck
I absolutely love the wrenches on the tool box lid
This guy's the real deal! Thanks for sharing!
That tool cart looks great in white!!
You're so organized that I would trust you based on that! When I worked as a dispatcher with plumbers, I saw the back of their trucks enough to know which ones I would ever have in my house. Not the ones with junky trucks that looked as if a tool store vomited in the back.
I'm usually pretty ocd about my tools.
MrSubaru1387 same
Nice 👍 I had the old school red one, thing was a tank. Amazing cart
Love the set up, I had to paint my cart white before they were selling the white version
You have come a long way
Nice cart and excellent setup for sure flashlights are super nice and damn good video too
i like your video alot thanksgreat video hope u get your new box
I have the red version of that HF Pittsburgh cart; and I also have a similar Matco cart, it's a tad bigger. Long story short; for the price of that Matco today, I could buy 4-5 HF carts and, the former isn't that much better IMHO.
@5:45 you show a tool you made for installing wheels. That’s pretty awesome idea. I have 3 tractors that I maintain at work and the have lug bolts as opposed to lug nuts. A tool like this will make my live a tad easier. Those big tractor tires are freaking heavy.lol. Great idea.
Get studs and nuts.
@@SgtJoeSmith Theres no way to securely fasten the studs into the hubs.
@@carsandguitars7064 where do bolts thread on then?
Yeah every VW mechanic has made one of these too. VW used to provide a plastic one with the spare tire tools.
Great put together tool cart!!! Love it!!
They need to make a series 3 with a grey colored tool cart and added rubber bumper stops for the corners.
They sell rubber bump stops for the corners at HF if you already have one! Kinda sucks it doesn't come with them but they're an amazing value.
Nice cart set up
Thanks!
You said the Milwaukee drawer is the big money drawer but there’s $1500 worth of torque wrenches in the one above it.
A guy at work has a matco that has a middle split slide top and the tops are also compartments. Its really cool. But its more akin to the KRSC326FPCM that I have.
I have the same box and it is as good as any other box made if not better.
Kick ass video! I dig the hell out of these tool carts. I wish I had one when I was a mechanic in the Army. Only issue I have with white, as cool as it looks, is getting dirty super easy. Keep up the great work!!
The white is still clean and dirt free after a month in the shop.
@@MrSubaru1387 I didn't like how the white looked in the catalog, but after seeing your video I have changed my beady little mind!
I still prefer the snap-on cordless ratchets but I do have the newest version of the 3/8 and 1/4 My 3/8 is 40ft lbs. I dont like the trigger on the m12 ratchets or the fact you cant grease the heads. I do love the stubbys and other impacts from Milwaukee though. I've been on the fence about the mac hex sockets for rounded bolts. I dont have a mac rep but I'm gonna order em up online. Yamaha loves metric Allen fasteners and they love to round after a few people has had ahold of them lol. Enjoyed the video
Good setup
Sweet tool cart... Have a great day...
Thanks for the tip on the Mac tools SXMHS7RBRT torx extractors!!
I just realized... that tool is for a hex bolt. I suppose you could also use it on a damaged Torx ?
How many boxes do you have with all the essential tools? This box has just about every tool in there to do most jobs and any subaru model vehicle. lol. I like these videos. Gives me an idea to conserve space so I can make efficient use of space on my snap on box that is 10 times bigger than that.
Nice set up.
these carts are fantastic!
Thanks for sharing
dmm with hammers lol,its all nice and neat until u work flatrate on a busy shop
Series 3 came out. Will you upgrade? Would you recommend upgrading if you only have a series 1?
Hi Mr Subaru!, where did you get your folding side tray diamond plate liner from?, I would like to get some for my 30 5-drawer toolbox as well
One of our stores in town can not keep that white cart in stock
I am not a pro mechanic but like to look at the tools pro's have to give me an idea where to spend my money.
There are certain items that come up in every pro's tool box.
Knipex and thread chaser kits.
I have Knipex and I am looking at the thread chasers.
"Follow those who know."
Great video
not a fan of the new snap on ratcheting wrenches, the new smaller selector switch is hard to move when your hands are covered in slippery stuff, i've been switching over to the protos as i found them to be the smallest head on any ratcheting wrench.
Where did you get that mat for the that little extra slide tray?
Nice cart greetings
I have milwaukee but I love snap on ratchets
These snap on ones look exactly like the Milwaukee
Every thing look new
I use the brake light switch grease for my ratchets lol
Just watched a review the Milwaukee long neck vs the snap on long neck and they did fairly the same. I like the Milwaukee line up but I’m a fan of the snap on cordless ratchets cause they aren’t as bulky and are quicker when pulling the trigger and taking a bolt or nut off. Milwaukee is a beefy hog though for breaking a bolt or but loose I will admit. I keep the snap on stuff at work and the Milwaukee at home in my second box.
The sprinter on the brakes use Hex 6 not torx !
Harbor freight tool boxes are good. I stopped buying snap on boxes for these general ones. They are really good and to tell you the truth I don’t see much difference other than the price on these name brand tool boxes
A lot of stuff. Mine needs to streamline
where did u get your megnet on yopur door soon as u open it up
Still looking forward to your Milwaukee video, I went with Milwaukee due to a crazy deal on one of their kits. I'm curious to see what made you drop Snap on.
Me too. But I've noticed there are a lot more Mechanics using Milwaukee battery power tools these days. Before everything was air power tools & now they sit in the box a lot. Admittedly it's nice not to have an electrical cord or air hose dragging on all the tools.
Cheapest place to buy pre-mixed Subaru Super Coolant by the gallon? (And will 2 gallons do it for a 2014 Forester? I'm opting out of the Conditioner, which I believe is intended for older models or those with 'problems'.)
All Subaru super coolant is premixed. Amazon or your local dealership. 2 gallons should just do it.
@@MrSubaru1387 I kept seeing those quarts of "Subaru Super Concentrate" as well, but figure that's a PITA alternative to use.
Thanks for putting up this tool video. Please keep them coming.
I have been acquiring Subaru specific tools over time to work on my 2010 Impreza 2.5i. It looks like you have a very complete setup for working on Subaru's. I noticed you have an SAE impact set on that left rear red socket tray - anything necessary there for Subaru's?
No. Just had it for the occasional lawnmower. Took them home to work on my Caterpillar dozer. Lol
Mr. Subaru, I have a totally unrelated question. I purchased a certified 2017 Subaru Forester about three months ago. I plan on traveling and sleeping in it in the not too distant future but I just realized there is no way to open the rear hatch from the inside. I see an easily removable plastic plate with possible access to the inner workings, maybe there is a way to open it from that point? Is there a hack for this problem?
if you could provide a link or part number for that magnetic sheet on your lid that would be great.
amzn.to/2R3jupb
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks.
Nice vid. I live in Canada eh. We only have Canadian tire and princess auto. Neither are as good as harbour freight. 😭
Well. If we had one up here I would prolly have spelled it right.
Who makes that red, 4-row, socket organizer you're using for hex and torx bits?
I don’t think it was even branded. Got it on Amazon. I think it might be in my Amazon store, but not sure.
Any chance you have the name of the socket tray you use for the silver eagle bit set? Been wanting to get mine out of the blow mold case
Which? The Silver Eagle impact are in Hanson socket trays. The SE torx/hex set is in a tray I got from Amazon. amzn.to/2kvkDZb
How do you like the Milwaukee m12 cut off wheel? Up in the air between that and the Milwaukee die grinder (with cutting disks of course)
I like it, but the access is awkward due to handle and motor placement. Waiting for the new straight die grinder to come out. Won't have a guard like a normal cut off, but will accept an arbor and 3" wheel.
What is the holder for your torx and hex sockets..did it come with the set?
I found it on Amazon. I think it's in my storefront if you look at the links in the vid description.
Still watching, so don't know if you say out, but what are the holders for all your sockets?
Hansen socket trays. Get them off Amazon or from Northern tool. Harbor Freight sells a similar design.
I Want This soooo Bad But Dammmmmm Mannnnnn, HF Shipping fee *$89.+?!!* ..Well I Guess I'll Ummm,..Ummm...
Where did you get the tray mat? Ive been looking for one that will fit the us general tray
Made it.
Auto zone sells some cargo mats that can be easily cut to fit my boxes for under $20 a mat
Saw someone's video where they cut up a spongy yoga mat.....said he spent like $8 for the yoga mat.
Did you sell it?
I love the convenience of mag strips for tools, but frequently I hate that my tools are magnetized. Any thoughts?
Do they make open ended torque adapters like that? I need something like that for Pitot/Static lines and crows foot are sometimes wonky. Also, do you have to calculate anything for torque when using them?
The torque adaptors have a 2" head length. In my digital torque wrench you can adjust the head length.
My sockets do not have the slash striping at the bottom, is that telling of model number or type of socket? I only noticed after 8 years of owning my ratchets, that non of them say US on them. My sockets do, just not the ratchets.
GamerNxUSN you got the questionable ratchets. The new ones have USA on them again.
Do you think there is enough space to store jack stands in the open space on the bottom? Thanks.
Not sure.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thanks, saw another video where a guy had stands under it, but just by a little. Might depend on what jack stands they are.
Lay them down or take the posts out.
How do you like the quality of the usg?
It was ok. Ok for the money for sure, just way too small.
MrSubaru1387 thank you for the feedback !
Question, I have a light bolt on 19 STI (315 WHP) and am consuming 2 quarts every 3k (when I change my oil). I have absolutely no knock but do drive aggressively often and engine break. Figure I should be concerned?
Cameron Beyer Take it in for an oil consumption test, could get a whole short block under warranty
Crehvix yeah but then my lazy ass needs to take my go fast bits off
Cameron Beyer 🤷🏻♂️up to you if it’s worth a free short block
Crehvix my current game plan is to keep my receipts, then have it towed to my house I’d it blows up. I’ll swap it to stock, then use my Subaru warranty to tow it to a dealer 😂
I live near Seneca SC, where abouts you located??
In the upstate. Chester /Lancaster County.
Orangeburg here
Where. Did you get the stick on adhesive mat part for the tray
Timestamp?
@29:53
So how are icon?
i may get one when i run out of space in my snap on box. also do you have a STI key for your outback?
I do. Lol
Can you do more videos on your WRX my brother has a 2018 STi
I thought i was watching an eric the car guy video at the beggining
Did you take your tool haul vid down from Sept 13?
Have u sold that cart yet?
Yes
MrSubaru1387 k thanks. I been looking for one
Do the safety glasses have magnification ? I have 20/15 vision and most glasses make working such a task because of that
No. They're clear. No magnification.
Home Depot has magnified safety glasses. If I remember correctly they're not too expensive.
What is the part number for your Long 1/2" drive Snap-On Flex Head Soft Grip ratchet?
SHLF80A
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks! I have the Harbor Freight 1/2 in. 25" breaker bar with the comfort grip, but wish it had a flex head ratchet added. Maybe they will come out with one sometime in the future.
About 1200 in tools can do the same as 20k in tools.
Goes to show big brand tool boxes are overrated and priced
Typical Subaru guy lmao
