@@ToolBoxTour definitely do this, I'm a mechanic from the UK and I've seen some tools you just never hear about from watching your channel. Keep up the great videos.
Interesting on the "hide the repair" thing. It might be because I'm a fleet truck guy but I buy the clear heatshrink for the sole reason of being able to easily see where harness has been previously repaired. Totally get what you're saying but for me it's super helpful to know exactly where a wire previously broke in case the symptom comes back again a few years down the road. I've been known to tie pink flagging tape to kevlar loom over spots I know I've fixed XD
I have a Milo tin full of coloured zip ties for three reasons, marking hydraulics, marking electrical, and making sure I or the next person knows that section has been worked on before. My service manager hates that I leave my zip ties behind, even though it’s just a mini coloured zip tie that I’ve left around the harness, hose or sensor that I had to remove previously. It reduces work in the future, makes it known that sections of the machine have been worked on, and can give you a time reference as the zip ties fade over time. For a $1 per 100 zip ties it’s worth it
Bro, I can’t watch a video of yours without learning something. This time it was the lesson about the fender cover; I only work out of my garage for myself and friends, but enhancing professionalism is something that sets me apart and I haven’t been using fender covers. I’m 100% sold. Thanks for all your insight and for sharing your personal tools with us. Enjoy your vacation and I’ll look forward to seeing your videos when you get back 👍
I just found your channel a couple of days ago. This is helpful information. I'll definitely look for the plant hangers at the dollar store, you can simply add shrink tubing to add color to them. Looking forward to watching your videos
Thank you for your time my Friend. Be interesting whatever country you visit, perhaps a tool box tour..nice to see what other mechanics have in their tool box arpund the world! ✌🕶🔧
Awesome video man definitely a couple things in her to add to the box. The fin comb especially. Keep up the great work man and hope you and your family have a good vacation
What a great idea 💡 for content. I would encourage this for future videos, and certainly is a format that welcomes input from viewers. We all learn from each other. 👍🏻
I have the milwaukee heat resistant sleeves, so the thing about ryobi is they may not be a pro tool but they definitely fit the bill for your home. Once you have the battery and charger they offer a lot of neat tools that you can use the battery with under $50 its good for replacing the corded items you have at home like a glue gun, or mini car vac, dremel tool... Lots of viable options. I don't need milwaukee yard tools for how much my yard grows which is only in the spring and mid fall. I did buy some milwaukee tools for home use that I justified because they could be used on automotive and other things.
The ryobi fan is a life saver in the summer, even just for BBQ's etc. And I recognize that straight edge!!!😂 Have the best time on your vacation and fingers crossed for a toolbox tour while you're out there!!
Some great items on here for the DYIer that has a good tool collection but can utilize some of the little tricks and tools that are a little less common. Thx
For the fan... get a adapter for whatever battery you have. I have one for nicad dewalt to use my milwaukee ones. I do have a few Ryobi tools so I have a battery and fast charger though. Maybe worth it for my garage!
I just about ordered half of the tools on the list lol. I already had the other half. Very good video. That fan might be next. It's been miserable in the heat down here in the south this year. Very hot and humid.
Lol I use the dollar store plant holders too. I often also use them to hold a bucket when draining the washer fluid tank (semi trucks) or purging the power steering system or honestly a ton more uses. Not bad for a 1.25 for 2 they are pretty strong too. Oh also for painting smaller items, the company we service is all about brand image and wants no visible rust (and we are in Chicago lol) so we stay busy painting.
I could see having that fin comb for a DIYer that is detailing their rig. Use it to straighten the fins on the outside of the radiator. Make it so things look a bit newer.
Thanks for the video. I got lucky and got some fender covers in Autozone on clearance a few years ago. $5 a pop. I would suggest for anyone to get themselves some medical shears as they are tough enough to cut leather. I cannot tell you all how many times they have saved me when blades or scissors would not work. I keep a pair in my toolbox, home and car emergency kits. Madison Supply makes a good pair.
I found the best air tool swivel is the one Cornwell sells they don't get lose they stay stiff and seem to last longer and not leak I had problems with the matco one and cheap one's from lowes just my experience
Dude no one talks about those heat sleeves. I’ve had a pair for years from mechaixwear and love them. Don’t use them often but nice to have when needed.
The arm guards could have helped me out. Messing with a drivline in a school bus for a roadside repair. I smelled bacon cooking before i felt the burn of the DPF canister on my arm. Im getting some right now !!
If your looking for different format for content. You could do a series like tools you need when working on xxxx (automaker) Like video for all weird tools working on hondas like crank pulley holder, weird socket thing for adjusting vtec valves specialized things or stuff that makes your life easier.
That’s funny you said the caliper hangers are bright colored so you don’t forget them. I didn’t get that lucky 😆 the ones I bought were black and I’ve already left them on a customer car. Luckily the guy was cool and brought it back to me when I called him 😆
People who hate on air are too cheap to buy a compressor, one you have one its amazing. Also harbor freight sells those spinning hose joints and also another style that swivels where the air clips into.
Get one of the adapters that will let you run the Ryobi on one of your existing tool batteries. I have one that lets me run Ryobi tools with a Makita 18v
Spray paint will fix the black caliper hooks! Mine are now a bright gold after they took a ride on my car and I had to remove the wheel to get them back.
need to get you a log of videos for about a month or 2 out just in case. This way you can do what you want. Have videos ready to go at all times so the content wheel keeps turning, those subs keep growing, and tthe money is filling your pockets lol
It’s actually a MONSTER Bluetooth speaker. Works great and gets pretty loud. We use it for birthday parties and stuff or just chilling in the garage. 👍
Enjoy your vacation! I started wrenching in 1994. #1 tool by far for doing a job the first time.....take pictures. We had a polaroid camera in the shop. Cellular pictures BEFORE disassembly are crucial,when it is your first time for that vehicle. Most used tools for all different types of repairs. Long bent needle nose pliers, angel grinder with a flap disc,24" prybar,10"Knipex plierswrench, zip lock bags to sort parts,screwdriver with on board bit storage,10"locking forcep pliers.
Are they any tools you recommend that that double in original price wen resale like the Craftsman double box end wrench set 6-30 metric made in USA 100$ original price and they resale 800$ - 1000$ for example a few years ago I got two ratchets a gold icon and a gold Craftsman $50 each made in China and the Craftsman resales on eBay for 100$ and the icon for 30$ how is even made in China resale double the original price and it's only going up
Good question. I can’t really think of many tools that can double in value. 🤔 the only time I can usually get over retail for a tool is when the tool has been out of stock for a long time on the snap-on website. A prime example would be the Blue-Point Aviation Pliers.
If a tech puts a fender cover on my fender I'd be pissed. The only thing they do is marr the paint. I absolutely hate them. (15 year professional master tech)
"Vampliers" alternatives I think are improved: *Knipex **#8201200* *ICON **#PBBSJ8* Air Swivel I think are the best: *Astro **#3SB40* (I've had them on all my air tools for many years now and they push a ton of air)

I really appreciate the words. More toolbox tours to come when I get back!!
Great video! Series this, next up $50-$100 tools that we may not have. I already added some of these to the cart! Thanks!

Thanks Michael!
Can’t say how much I agree with you on the non insulated crimp terminal
The snap on electrical cramps are my favorite. I had a pair of cornwells cut the plastic seal. These videos are also fun and educational. GREAT JOB
I just found your channel a couple of days ago. This is helpful information. I'll definitely look for the plant hangers at the dollar store, you can simply add shrink tubing to add color to them. Looking forward to watching your videos
I don’t have any of these tools. Thanks 😊
I really like that Lisle cleaning pad extension. That will make my job way easier.
Yeah it’s the small things that can make a job so much easier. Thanks Mark!
Two Golden nuggets here. One the drum brake spring tool. Two the Yellow Caliper hanging hooks. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your time my Friend. Be interesting whatever country you visit, perhaps a tool box tour..nice to see what other mechanics have in their tool box arpund the world!
✌🕶🔧
I hope to get a tour while I’m out but we’ll see 🙂. As always, I appreciate you watching Alfred!
The tekton mini picks and pry bats are the best
You Sir the maker of these wonderful tool videos are one of my favorite people on RUclips. Great solid content thank you.
I had no idea Kevlar heat resistance sleeves existed. Fantastic recommendation.
Enjoy your vacation!! Keep more content like this coming
Thank you! Will do!
Good, useful video. I have those Vampliers and really like them. But I like the Knipex Twin Grips which I added later a bit more
I am gonna be on your channel one day! Gotta get my box up another level or two first!
I hope to visit all my viewers some day!
Enjoy the family we will be here 👍😎👍
As always, thanks man 🤘
The manifold spreader has many uses. Lots of times we need a little push
@@markm0000 If that is as wide as you need them spreading, I would keep quiet.
I was talking practical applications.
@@harveysmith100 just joking around. Shop banter. You know
@@markm0000 Too late Mark, your secret is out
I'm constantly scouring the internet for tools I didn't know existed. That drum brake spring tool is genius!

Thank you very much!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
That fan is awesome
Right?? Kobalt also makes one, but I decided to go with the Ryobi.
Safe travels !!! Enjoy your vacations 😉
Thank you! Will do!

Absolutely! As always thanks for watching Russell.
Thank you for the uploads love the videos! We need a garage tour pls

Thanks purchased couple of the tools
Great! I’m glad there were a couple that you didn’t have 👍

I just double checked, and for less than $20 you can get a Ryobi to Milwaukee battery adapter so you don't need Ryobi batteries for your fan.
Some great items on here for the DYIer that has a good tool collection but can utilize some of the little tricks and tools that are a little less common. Thx
Yeah! I hope some of these smaller tools can make someone’s life a little easier.
For the fan... get a adapter for whatever battery you have. I have one for nicad dewalt to use my milwaukee ones. I do have a few Ryobi tools so I have a battery and fast charger though. Maybe worth it for my garage!
Radiator fin spreader, had no idea. Thx! Oh and one day I hope to have a toolbox. I pretty much use home depot buckets to store my tools, lol
I just about ordered half of the tools on the list lol. I already had the other half. Very good video. That fan might be next. It's been miserable in the heat down here in the south this year. Very hot and humid.
Oh the fan is an absolute GAME CHANGER!!
Killing it as usual. Tech in Cleveland Ohio
Yeah, thoughtful suggestions man. Nice man
Glad you think so Matthew!
Lol I use the dollar store plant holders too.

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one. Hard to beat the price!
That Lisle roloc extension was a must have for doing thermostats on Dodge Magnum motors. 3.9L, 5.2L and 5.9L.
Absolutely!! Otherwise your in a tiny area with scotchbrite in your finger tips.
Good video, would love to see you using some of those tools on a bit of wrenching on your own car.
That would be cool to get a out of country tour but spend time with family family is first but we are a close second lol 😜
Haha no doubt!
I could see having that fin comb for a DIYer that is detailing their rig. Use it to straighten the fins on the outside of the radiator. Make it so things look a bit newer.

Sweet! I’ll have to pick up a pair of those shears. Makes sense they would work great if they’re made for the medical industry.
Have fun see you when you get back!
Thanks James!
Thanks for sharing, good job, good info.
9:42 I prefer that style of crimper. In my old age, I’ve gone to non insulated butt connectors with heat shrink. Same reasons as you mentioned 👍
Great minds think alike 🤘
I found the best air tool swivel is the one Cornwell sells they don't get lose they stay stiff and seem to last longer and not leak I had problems with the matco one and cheap one's from lowes just my experience
Someone else mention TTC made a video about them and found the Astro ones to be good as well. Thanks for the info!
Dude no one talks about those heat sleeves. I’ve had a pair for years from mechaixwear and love them. Don’t use them often but nice to have when needed.
Yeah when you need them, they’re an absolute must have.
Appreciate you he belt design very smart
I use Astro high flow air swivels on all my air tools. Don’t know if you’ve seen the TTC review on air swivels, but Astro was the best of the bunch.
Oh very cool! Thanks for the info!
@@ToolBoxTour heck yeah, and thank YOU for the fun videos 🤝
The arm guards could have helped me out. Messing with a drivline in a school bus for a roadside repair. I smelled bacon cooking before i felt the burn of the DPF canister on my arm. Im getting some right now !!

Worthwhile tools under 20 bucks!¿ YESS, I'm watching 😅😅👋 where's the wicked toolbox tour brotha!!?
Comin soon!
@@ToolBoxTour 😁😁😁
great vid!
Thanks Mark!
One thing I do is keep magnetic tray holder in my vehicle. I also keep the Milwaukee safety eyeglasses in my daily driver.
Nice. Always prepared 👍
put colored heat shrink on the hangers and some of those caps that doc has showed on his channel last best tool.
I have the engineer nijasauraus or whatever its called. love those things
LET'S GO 🏁..very good video idea..☝️
10:42.. me too.. I'll use separate heat shrink insulation..but non-insulated butt connectors are much better
Yeah! I think it makes for a better repair. 👨🔧
The universal joint are handy but!! They loose power, had to switch back to normal fitting and made a difference at least on 1/2 impact
Oh good point!
Have you ever done a video about your whip game. Cause it seems like you got some pretty cool older cars
Fantastic. Some tools i made ..
You'll feel better about the ryobi fan if you just buy more ryobi tools. They're great
Good idea! I really wish Milwaukee had one but I’ve heard good things about the ryobi glue gun so I may grab one of those.
Got spend more money on tools😢 seriously, thank you for sharing
Haha! Glad I could help!
That’s funny you said the caliper hangers are bright colored so you don’t forget them. I didn’t get that lucky 😆 the ones I bought were black and I’ve already left them on a customer car. Luckily the guy was cool and brought it back to me when I called him 😆

Ohh good tip! I’ll have to whip out the spray paint next time I’m messing around in the garage.
I have about 6 of the Engineer brand (Japan) pliers. I like the green handles and way cheaper.
I had no idea they had a variation of pliers until I looked up the price for the linemans! I may have to get a few of the others.
If I remember correctly, they are the company who invented vampire pliers.
@@ZERONEINNOVATIONS Engineer is the real deal from Japan. Vampire is the rebrand.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed!
Battery adapters are around $20, can use whatever battery platform you have to run your fan
Have you done a tool box tour on your tool boxes?
Ryobi makes a pretty good inflator if you want to get more out of the platform
Oh good to know! The tough thing is all my other tools are Milwaukee and it’s rough having two separate platforms going.
need to get you a log of videos for about a month or 2 out just in case. This way you can do what you want. Have videos ready to go at all times so the content wheel keeps turning, those subs keep growing, and tthe money is filling your pockets lol
I bought a battery adaptor so I can use my Dewalt batteries on the one Ryobi tool I have.
You can plasti dip those DIY caliper hangers
How’s it going would you happen to know how much a used revel x 3 bay would cost?
Is that a battery jump box on top of the black toolbox behind you? If so what brand and model is it?
It’s actually a MONSTER Bluetooth speaker. Works great and gets pretty loud. We use it for birthday parties and stuff or just chilling in the garage. 👍
If you want to cut down on battery platforms then you just try battery adapters. Been using adapters for years.
Get the ryobi hot glue gun, and the mini clip fan to go with the misting fan.
Nice! I’ll check them out
I'm watching this as I shadow my box at my new aviation job.
Nice!!
You should do a snap on version of this video: best snap on tools to buy under $20… a month for the rest of your life.

I started wrenching in 1994.
#1 tool by far for doing a job the first time.....take pictures.

Always put cardboard on the radiator to prevent any denting while working on it !!!!!!!
Ohh!! Good tip!

Good question. I can’t really think of many tools that can double in value. 🤔 the only time I can usually get over retail for a tool is when the tool has been out of stock for a long time on the snap-on website. A prime example would be the Blue-Point Aviation Pliers.

Thanks for the invite!! I’m headed to Japan.

Coming soon! Vacation coming up but I have a few planned. Thanks for watching Victor!
Dont diss the Ryobi...😂😂😂...ive got a load of it and have beaten the shit out of it with minimal magic smoke coming out if them😊
No joke, if I didn’t have a bunch of Milwaukee already, I would be tempted to build a bigger ryobi collection. No hate at all!! 😁👍
Next video… wear that hat on the wall‼️😂😂😂
😂 I wear that thing every time I do yard work. We go way back haha
If a tech puts a fender cover on my fender I'd be pissed. The only thing they do is marr the paint. I absolutely hate them. (15 year professional master tech)
That’s something I should have mentioned. It’s always a good idea to make sure the fender is free of dirt to avoid scratches.
Dont forget the meth pipe. A lot of these guys its there favorite tool
The truth about battery powered tools it takes more time and effort to use than air tools.
Guy can't go a minute without describing something as 'super'. Get a dictionary and learn some english.
"Vampliers" alternatives I think are improved:
*Knipex **#8201200*
*ICON **#PBBSJ8*
Air Swivel I think are the best:
*Astro **#3SB40* (I've had them on all my air tools for many years now and they push a ton of air)
Nice! Another comment mentioned the Astro swivels as well. Thanks!!
You always need more tools 🧰
Always! 👍
Always!!!
