Nothing wrong with OCD when it come to your tools. I by no means have high end tools, but I take pride in what I own and make sure its spotless before it goes back in the tool chest.
Same. I remember one time I yelled at my dad for putting a greasy wrench in my box and didnt put anything back right. I definitely deserved the backhand that I received for screaming at him. But I guess both of us learned our lesson that day because hes never put a dirty tool back ever again
Same here. I give them a good wipe down before I put them back. Especially these days.
I get sick of people not caring about my tools addiction.
"fine looking box" needs to be on a tshirt !!
"Every tool has a hammer side." - Eric O. - SMA
Haha not my tools. You are welcome to use them as a hammer but you will replace them with the exact kind or newer version and you can take the “hammer tool” with you.
Not a screwdriver
@@KoonTrucking So I was wiping down my toolbox last week, and i found quite a few paint splatters on the side, the workstation front and some drawers (my snapon box happens to be flat black). I was quite pissed off. The only guy that paints in the shop is my co-worker. And he does that after we are done for the day. His response was "I dont know how that got there." So needless to say i managed to get all the spots off, and i am looking at getting a toolbox cover from Snap-On.
@@joshcraven9781 save yourself a ton of money and do what I did. Measure the size of your box and go online and purchase yourself a BBQ cover. It works just the same at half the cost
@@danieltubbs458 yeah i was gonna do some looking around this weekend as far as options.
That Hamilton is such a cool dude a very good salesman I Braig to all my fellow workers we should have a salesman Like him The dealer we have upstate New York is crusty
That’s really nice of Hamilton to look up part numbers for people in other countries. I can’t even get a snapon rep to come to the shop
I treat my Harbor Freight tools the same as the few higher end tools. I may be a shade tree mechanic, but my tools are still an investment. It saves the money of taking my vehicle to a mechanic. I'm with ya on the cleanin. I dont like puttin mine away with finger prints, nevermind grease or oil. It cant get dirty unless its clean.
I’m with you on cleaning tools . Nothing will set me off more than someone using my tools and putting them back with grease on them or if they abuse them.
No doubt!! Not only is it rude but its straight disrespectful...
When you are OCD you don't care if others return your tools dirty because you have to reclean them even if they appear clean on return.
I had a customer try to get me fired years ago as certified Harley Tech. Guy walked into shop and walked up to my box and stated going thru my large Snap-on box. I told him to get F away from my tools, him and owner came downstairs to "Talk" to me I just told him I can have my tools in the back of my Pickup in under 5min with fork truck and he could let the guy finish his own bike. Turned around and told customer "Your Call, sparky?". worked there four more years then drug-up
thumbs up for wiping the crud out of the insides of your sockets before putting them back on the rail!
When I was a kid, I left my dad's pliers in the yard. Next morning he cut the grass..
Yep he hit the pliers! I was lifted up by the arm and whipped all the way to my room! And I miss him every day. Great video!
Hey clay, I know this is an old video, and you probably won’t see this but I think the reason I take such good care of my tools is because those tools are a reflection of my time... time you’ll never get back. You get paid for your time and in return with that money you buy tools to make you more money. I always think a person that respects and cares for their tools is someone who respects and cares about their time.
Exactly not to mention all the money they spent
A snapon bottle opener and a Michelob Ultra are his only tools on the weekend
Hey Clay, I'm a big fan of your channel and although I am Not an auto mechanic, I was an industrial mechanic and taking care of my tools was a very big deal for me, my tools made me money, guys I worked with would talk very abou the way I would clean and organize my box after every work order, and I had a cheap set of tools I would use as loners, my good stuff for f my hands only.😂
I really like my snapon guy. He has always done me good and never let me down
im saving up for my first set of snap on wrenches
I can remember when I was a kid back in the 70's, watching Saturday morning cartoons and there would be a commercial come on that talked about using the right tool for the right job the right way. I guess that has always stuck with me. I learned the value of clean tools when I turned 16 and started buying tools to take care of my truck. No regrets.
Amen to that.
I always remember Mr. Koon saying there is a tool for every job. Something like that😉
Your the reason I take time every day before I leave to clean my tools and make sure they are good to go next day . I appreciate how you put why you clean them up
I am eternally grateful for your tip on using tub o towels. They work awesome. Especially with all the high viz snap on stuff I've been buying lately. I was taught just like yourself that you take care of your stuff. Whether it be guns, tools, vehicles or anything else that you have invested your hard earned money on.
People like to call me a tool polisher but I am far from it. To me a tool polisher is someone who buys something and never uses it.
I've got a buddy of mine that could take that demo and open everything back up and even get the updates down the road free of charge. It's a good thing he's an honest guy and has a security clearance where he goes to work.
Those are the guys you are glad that are on your side
Great video, feel like it was painful to end it but it appears that this happens regularly and you both are profiting 🤙
Nothing better then clean tools. I have some of the first generation comfort grip snap on tools from when I started 20 years and you'd think they came off the truck yesterday. I have always taking pride in the tools I own. If I'm paying 200 for a set of screwdrivers I want them to look like 200 bucks every time.
Exactly !
I never leave my tools out overnight! Even if I’m not done with a project! That drives me crazy
I totally agree I clean all my tools after my work shift ends and now the all their technicians at my job are seeing my toolbox and how organized in it is they're now starting to clean their tools and box... 👨🔧 👍
Miss some snapon Friday!
I clean my tools after every job being a marine mechanic, my mates look at me and say why are you cleaning your tools. The simple answer is if you take care of your tools the tools take care of you
I agree with the Razor being my favorite old school phone. Dang that was trustworthy .
I could go 3 weeks without charging the thing
I much preferred the samsung hue flip phone... dont know why but i did
Also... the true light sure makes Hamilton a sexy devil. Just look at that thumbnail, what a handsome glamour shot. LMBO🤣🤣🤣
Haha model material !
Put my Netflix show on n pause just too watch snap on Friday....then I saw it was a half hour long I grabbed a 🍺 and ate some 🍕 nothing like snap on Friday👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hahaha thank you ! I really appreciate you watching !
I watch all the time I am from West Virginia
I find that cleaning your tools, even wiping them down if they’ve been sitting for awhile, is a good way to fight corrosion. I live on the coast and when you’ve got a ton of tools, it’s pays to keep them clean and well maintained
I bought those 100 year anniversary screw drivers too. They sat in my box wrapped up for about a month. Put them in my storage cause i dont want loose them or something lol
My Pop's had a crocodile 🐊 belt; that he would threaten us kids back then, when Crocodile Dundee was a big deal! Lol! He actually showed me one of the shop's bill, for tools purchased! I knew the value of the dollar; even back then, when I was just a kid. I was born in April 22nd, in 1974. I miss my old man so much! You guys are great! Thank you Clay!
Great video as usual Clay. Love me some Snap-on Fridays...
I’m just a DIYer and will probably ever own a snap on tool unless I get one as a gift. Lol. But you both seem like such nice dudes and it’s fun just listening to you guys talking about tools.
Well thank you! I appreciate you watching.
You are right about using the tub o' towels cleaning tools up,got me to do it.Grease,oil and dirt come off easily what a rag does not remove.I keep one on my tool cart now on my 2nd one.Look up this on youtube,Yes Dear Court.It is an episode of Caught in Providence,you and Shiloh will laugh watching it with the husband saying this: Yes dear.
Best day of the week
Koon you are awesome, you and Hamilton are funny guys and always make me smile. Keep up the hard work I love your videos, especially tool box and “what you need videos”
Thank you so much!!
Treat your tools like your life depends on them…..because it does. My dealer offered to trade me a full set of new instinct grip screw drivers for my original soft grip screw drivers because they looked almost new. They are 16 years old now, and they still look fantastic.
Nice video! I work in a shop where I am the senior mechanic with 20 years. I have guys with less then 4 years of experience. These guys would work on a truck and leave spills on the shop floor, dirty tools, parts everywhere. They did one engine swap on a F250 and swapped parts and never washed or cleaned the intake or anything. My OCD went nuts and my manager and I had a big talk about talking pride in our work and keeping everything clean. Most of the problems is just being green and new. My guys at the end of the day would have piles of tools on their boxes and would frantically hurry up and put them away. I would tell them to wipe their tools down as they use them as they go. It takes extra time to clean but it’s with it. I replaced a radiator and used all new bolts and even pained them lol. I have had Snap on since day one. Every Snap on mechanic has OCD. Everyone else are usually not as clean. I am not being a snap on snob. I have known mechanics who do not have snap on and keep things clean also. But it’s rare. I think because you spend a lot of money on your tools for work. You care about keeping things clean. I always say this. Great mechanics keep their tools clean and work on cars on their days off. Their cars are clean and their house also. One tip I have for snap on guys is to get a Cover for their snap in box. My current Snap on box I almost cried when I came in on my day off and a coworker was grinding right in front of it. He embedded metal in the front. A lot of mechanics who don’t have snap on don’t care about other people’s stuff. I have been in my shop for 6 months. I have had to tell 2 guys to wipe my tools off when they are done. One guy used my snap on chair and left grease all over it. I told him I sit in it every day to change into my boots and use it often in the day. The guy got pissed and called my picky lol.
This had to be one of the more entertaining videos I've seen with you and Hamilton. It had me laughing so much I couldn't help myself so I came back for round #2.
Great video y'all have a great weekend and stay safe 👍
I’m with you. You pay good money for something, take care of it and it’ll take care of you.
enjoyed the video Clay!! thank you for your hard work on the videos! the hard work always shows! nice,Hamilton has pearl blue ratchets! hard to find!
Washed my Motorola razor out in the washing machine, and then ran it threw the drier. It still worked when I found it after the load of laundry was dry lol
In Hamilton, we trust.
Now that is service!
that is called a true day light i believe
Watching some of your older stuff and I'm a new-ish technician in the field.. between my dad teaching me how to treat tools and stay organized like yours did, and tech school pounding us with weekly roll cart checks and marking us if something is out of place or not cleaned.. you best believe that shit stuck with me and everyone who goes in my box comments on how clean and organized every drawer/tool is. Makes you feel better and it's almost unexplainable but the people who are like us know exactly what we're talking about LOL
My neighbors boyfriend tossed my Vintage Proto 1/2in ratchet on the floor after I gave it to him to use. Had to open up a can of whoopass on him.
Keep up all the awesome videos
I really really enjoyed this one Clay!!
OCD is when you use fast orange on your screw driver handles.Then blue shop towels to wipe it off. As I hate grease and grime on mine...And they are stacked in order of size....
Mmmm I love these long form videos. I put em on while I’m workin in the shop
Clay can i get the part# on that light HAHAHA just kidding. Always look forward to your videos thank you for the content
I dropped my razr phone from a crane 75 foot in the air. I saw it go into 3 pieces an when I got down to get it I put it back together an only cracked on the bottom corner! Loved those phones!
Im from the Nederlands to
Pearl blue just came out as a new colour over here in the uk. I picked up a 1/4 drive long hard handle and 40oz hammer in it , love that colour
My 11 year old son is starting to buy some harborfreight tools. I'm excited!! I always left my dad's tool all over place.
Saw the video and text my snapon guy! 🤣🤣🤣
Another great one, I'm a heavy duty mechanic and found the pliers you showed for the push lock air fittings very interesting I would love to see how they work if you ever have time to show them thx.
My 55 inch box looks just like that blue one! I have a roll cart same color, almost bought a Matco box but the Snap-On man offered me more on trade for my old one and let me put it on my truck account at a reasonable payment! No credit account!
Finally snap on Friday!!!
Man I was beast at t -9 texting sounded like you were writing a novel when really you were just saying “what’s up”
It forced me to memorize my keyboard so I could still pay attention and text in class when I was in Middle school and high school
Had my buddy's teenage sister teach me how to text like a pro. I miss the old flip phones, but I miss my Blackjack with real keyboard buttons the most. Touch screens suck.
Awesome video Clay 👍
My tools are my partners and I never abuse or leave my partners behind. They work and they get cleaned up and put back in there spot ready for the next job. Good Job and really like your videos.
I Got me a high viz 3/8 ratchet and it does not get used. I just love how bright n shiny it is. I just can't bring myself to getting it all greased up.
I’ve been looking all over for a pearl blue handle ratchet no one around me has one
Nothing wrong with keeping your Tools clean between uses no matter if they are Snap On or the cheaper stuff I have a little bit of everything of every brand but have accumulated a lot of Snap On + Mac and some SK Tools as of late still got all my Craftsman, Husky and Gear-wrench stuff no need to throw them out just because I got some higher end tools in my Box
I always put my tools away in their proper location although they don't get the attentive clean often probably once every other month. Just a quick wipe off and put up so there are finger prints and general grease marks but I only spend two minutes cleaning and organizing tools
Man that was a great snap on Friday! Really enjoyed that one y’all! Much love from Missouri!
Thank you! Sometimes it’s good to just shoot the breeze and laugh, I know Hamilton gets tired of talking about Tools, we honestly hardly ever talk Tools even off camera !
My dad taught me the value of tools at a early age. I found out that a ratchet is not a hammer. The hard way. Lol. All of my tools may not be top brands, but I take care of them, and they take care of me.
My Daddy had a tool set he bought at Montgomery-Ward's when I was a small boy (I can hear the Whipper-Snappers now, "What's Montgomery-Ward's"? After a while of trying to fix my bicycles and my friends bicycles my Daddy wouldn't let me use his tools anymore; I lost quite a few of them. No, he didn't buy me my own tools either. The military "dress-right-dress" has stuck with me all these years, although it has waned some. I used to drive my wife crazy. I'd say, "No, that one goes here and this one goes there." She would roll her eyes at me.
I was a Bill one time way back when, but I changed my ways. It's too easy to toss an old blanket over a seat or use a fender apron, put on some nitrile gloves so you have clean hands in an instant when you need them, and it's too easy to give a tool a wipe down with kerosene or WD40 (one thing it's good for). Really dirty stuff gets a good soaking before wipedown. Why work hard when you can work smart?
I enjoyed the banter fellas.
I can't for someone to use my tools and put them back dirty or in the wrong place lam training 2 new techs. And it is hard i have to tell them everything like you don't use my crome sockets with the impact and my matco 42 in prybar with the striking cap don't mean that you can use a sledgehammer on it
FYI. Clay got my mini cobra pliers 87 00 100 They are mini. About 1/2” overall shorter than snap on AWP45. The cobra head is also narrower.
Being a Snap-On dealer, Hamilton knows the truth about tool boxes. I have a Blue-Point roll cart that is similar to the Snap-On one in this video but not as nice. I didn't like it because you have to take everything off of the top to get in the upper compartment, so I gave it to my wife who uses it for painting. She puts a small easel on the top and the tubes of paint in the drawers. So I wondered why would mechanics get a roll cart if they could just roll their KRL722 with nice work surface over to their job? The reason is they traded in their tool box for a huge KRL1023, which when full of tools is a pain to move. So they get a roll cart and live with its compromises. I have an old KRA-380 with a wooden board on top and I prefer that over my modern roll cart.
I want a flashlight like that one, right away.
Personally I was raised to take care of my possessions however I was also raised to used what I had to get things done. I use my tools as intended but I also use them as practical tools such as using a bladed driver for slotted screws but also as a prying tool that being said I don't use it for actually heavy-duty prying I use it for you know I'm in a pain shot got to use something that's right they're sort of situation. When it comes to cleaning my tools I keep my tools as you put it about 80% clean for the screwdrivers and stuff with like a plastic handle I wipe those down with a tub of towel but for like a wrench or a ratchet I don't have any soft handle ratchets I can't stand those ratchets so I always get the are metal handle because then I can just take her shop rag and just wipe it down and if I need to do extra you some type of towels but I don't make some showroom perfect. I use them and take care of them.
I try to clean my tools at the end of each day, but not to the extent you do. One reason I don't like comfort grip ratchets is hard to clean handles.
Get some tub o towels. They work great on them
Thats one reason I like the hard handles on the snap on ratchets
Get oderless mineral spirits it works on everything. Will not melt the plastic or bubbler on tools. Wipe on wipe off grasshopper.
Oh yeah been waiting all day
Seriously
Where's Wallie? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Off topic question, does Hamilton wear contacts? The way he blinks makes me think his eyes are dry from wearing contacts! 😂
I'm the same way with my tools, and every guy I train turns out the same way.
That's how it should be. In college they should teach these techs like at UTI about organization and using a clean tool
Stay positive mr Hamilton
Took we a while to translate “tub-a-tile”, but I got there! Great video, keep’em up!
Nothing wrong with taking care of your tools at all I'm fussy about mine as well
When I got my box I took the identical one in red and black I could’ve grabbed the sonic blue cause he had both but everything better in red
I’m not as OCD about my tools and my box as you but I always wipe down my tools before I put them away just like you and my big box I wipe that down a couple times a week. I see other techs that just throw their tools in their cart and do t wipe shit down and it’s sad.
Yep too much money to treat badly.
I called everyone duck you had me laughing to
I'm 51 years old and when I was a kid the term "time out" was only used in sports, my Dad never used a belt on me, he used a piece of my Hot Wheels track. Point well taken Dad, I still flinch when I see Hot Wheels track. ;-)
Clay will be 90 still hittin that camera! Lol
I just wipe my tools. Maybe not even a clean rag like you said. If the rag is too bad I might get a new rag.
You should do a video about the snap on scanners because I’m looking for one to do side jobs and I’m not sure which one to buy
I have an ethos pro, bought maybe 3 years ago. Reads codes and you can also see some freeze frame data, or you can look at monitors, like various sensors. Think i paid like 1800 for it though. Still use it to this day though
It is relatable. I don't allow anyone but my coworker and me to fix our test generator.
I made the mistake of getting grease in an interior. for a cleaner I would HIGHLY recommend the motocraft spot and stain cleaner.
Friend of mine took his brand new diesel range rover to the dealer for service. The white leather was covered in grease as well as the steering wheel and dash and there was muddy footprints in the carpet when he got it back. He is just now recovering from a heart surgery and I am sure that may have been part of the cause.
Ouch
I’ve got a Solus Ultra. It’s got the trouble shooter . Last upgrade will be the next 2020 update.
I have to agree that Tub-o-Towels work great at cleaning tools especially plastic handles, but I have been using WD-40 for years to clean my tools. It removes just about anything and it leaves just enough of a oil film to prevent rust on certain finishes-ie impact sockets!
I've been getting my stones busted for years over keeping my tools clean and organized but it's worth it!!!
I agree about cleaning tools for sure. Way too much money not to take care of them
Cool off and time for tool dream land with clay and Hamilton lol
Wipe it with a rag and let it go is how I roll. After a long, late day job I sometimes don’t even go that far. To each their own though haha
I use oderless mineral spirits to clean my tools.... I'm a clean freak as well.
