It’s kinda crazy but aviation mechanics are a breed all their own. My eldest boy is good friends with a guy who’s dad is a helicopter mechanic and man o man his garage and home SnapOn tool chest are amazing! Massive. Every tool imaginable and those were his home units, not his shop on site rolling tool chest. He has or had, died from lung cancer few yrs back but he had i believe 4 or 5 large long Snapon at his aviation hangers he worked out of. 10’s of thousands in tools. Probably close to 150 grand in SnapOn. The man was a wizard and so smart when it came to engines, all engines. But his personal home rolling tool chest looked like this dudes. Always blew my mind. When I would compliment him he was always so humble and nice but he’d say “Victor this is nothing, you would love my lifetime collection for work In the hangers”. He had been at it since the 70’s. Such a good man. Very sad that smoking cigarettes and drinking home brewed beer took him in his prime, he was 56. Young. Such a wealth of knowledge. His only boy, Cam has his dads lifetime collection and it’s insane. Cams boys will be using those tools and Kevin’s great grandsons. Very cool. It’s wild but these guys leave a massive amount of money to their boys in tools alone when the inevitable shows up. Such a cool tour of this man’s tools. Everybody just imagine the knowledge this man has built up. Amazing. I could watch these videos for days and never get bored. 🤩🙌🙌❤️❤️🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
I was on a job at Boeing Everett a few years ago when they were super busy and my jaw dropped when I saw a 18wheeler unload a dozen huge Snap-On boxes. My ‘minder’ was a tech there and said the boxes were preloaded with specific tools, all barcodes and shadow foam to prevent FOD. The boxes had a keypad to unlock them. Probably $70k each in street money.
More than $70k probably. The boxes without the keypads and cameras are that much. But it’s nice because every cutout has the part number of the tool and every tool is etched with something custom. Usually a toolbox number. But SnapOn doesn’t sell them for retail, each sale is unique
If they were specific tools for an aircraft I bet the tools were more than 70k, special auto tools are expensive, I don't want to think how much special aircraft tools are, did they have one box per make of plane.
@@ToolBoxTour Its pretty incredible. I work for the DoD, watching the Boeing travel guys come out is pretty impressive. They load everything they could possibly need. They leave everything behind thats not tools too so the locals love it when they get called in. Replenishes a lot of supplies. Fod control is crazy tight with their boxes, thats why they wont just use our boxes even though we have everything they could need. Their FOD program is so tight that way if fod is found after they left is almost certainly not their fault.
Not every oil is, specific types, I work on helicopters and we use “Third Generation” oils that are high thermal stabilized and they are luminous to UV!
When I ran a USAF F-16 Inspection Section I got to assemble exactly what we needed. My Lista rep (fantastic company who can outfit your entire shop with cabinets and storage) worked with our excellent (not every rep is and quality varies!) Snap-on rep to get our Lista boxes with laser cut foam for mostly Snap-on but a variety of other tools they don't produce. Much love for Snap-on boxes but if I hit the lottery I'd go pure Lista for every box and cabinet. They're top tier such that at least one company buys nearly all of them that come up used at auction in my area to overhaul!
Wow!! So clean and simply handsome! This dues boxes like the McLaren mechanic his boxes are IMPECCABLE and clean handsome ❤️❤️. Fuuuuuuu!!!!! Rolling tool chest goals, baby! Love it!
I can’t find it now, but there used to be a list on the website of the US Gov of required tools for the F-35 maintenance. Hundreds of line items - socket by socket, wrench by wrench. All Snap-On.
@@Comm0ut spline drive bolts are the bane of my existence… the MS14181 bolt spec is becoming more popular in bigger sizes but finding sockets is tough. A couple of times We’ve just made our own (referring to the MIL-W spec
Can you do a tour of the aviation "line techs" toolboxes? They have unique rolling mobile toolboxes and that would be awesome to see. Most of the ones I've seen are custom made, so that would make it even more interesting.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube channels! Really great setup! Love how clean and organized his box is! Also agree that the knipex flush cuts cut way better than the snap on.
Recently discovered this channel and am loving it. Almost too distracting to have on when I’m trying to work. From this video I bought the flush cut pliers and the safe blow gun.
Spencer should check out a Koken KO2762 - Flex extension, I've got one which I use for Motorcycles and it can get into places that no combination of extensions and wobbles could make! (as long as its used properly!)
I do hd trucks and heavy equipment and I actually have and use safety wire pliers. It's not every day but occasionally you'll come across something that needs safety wire. The first one that comes to mind is a PTO shaft with a set screw on a fire truck i had to safety wire, application specific stuff but we do see it from time to time.
@@ToolBoxTour I swear man if I didn't live in the deep south I'd gladly volunteer. You have an excellent channel and I really do wish I could contribute.
Thanks for that. I never thought the biggest obstacle of this channel would be to find tech to show me their tools! I guess people don’t like to be on video 🤷♂️
Watched the live tonight, now I'm watching this episode again going through my tool list. Added a couple things that weren't on the purchase list. That aero creeper...holy smokes I don't know if I need one but I want one
If you want to do it, now is the best time to get in the industry. The mechanic shortage is as bad/worse than the pilot shortage. Check your area for any community colleges that offer a program. That’s what I’m doing. There’s also dedicated places, with the downside being more expensive. And as the other person commented, see if there’s an airport somewhere with a mechanic or a repair station that who’d be willing to train you. If you go the job route, you need 1800 hours and document the experience (basic sign offs saying you did “x” job) and then to test. A school is typically about 12-18months and some will even pay for testing
Yes and no. To sign off work at most maintenance shops you need an a&p (a=airframe, p=powerplant). But you can work for a 145 repair station and use their repair station license to sign off work
You can totally get started without your A&P like Mr. Whale said, but if it’s going to be a career for you it’s definitely worth it to spend the time & get your A&P
@@gtcam723 The multi-position ratchet is nice at 4:30, but I am curious about the snap on speeder handle at 7:50. It has a ratcheting adapter that I want. It’s the blue attachment I just can’t seem to find.
180 for some wobble extensions I got the exact same thing a hf for 15 dollars. Has all the same feature the snap in has and it comes with more than 3 piece it comes with 9
I want to know what the bit adapter is on the SnapOn Speed Handle. It's 1/4square to 1/4 hex, but I'd like to know the maker of that particular design.
Any tips or suggestions on how to be able to afford a nice toolset when you just graduated from A&P school? I have all the tools that I bought for school. And none of them are “high end” like snap-on etc. I know that I’ll get frowned upon whenever I start working. Is that normal when you’re just starting out, and just build a nicer set of tools as you progress in the industry?
I’ve never been an a&p mechanic. However, I was an auto tech for a long time, and I never shamed anyone for the tools they had. Buy what you can afford, and upgrade when they fail. There is no doubt that some tool brands will out perform others, but believe me, anyone who shames you for the tools you own is full of themselves.
He skipped over them but what are the two power tools in the top drawer? I know they dont use impacts in aviation, so not the usual tools to see in a toolbox
Company will have them in there “tool room” for you to check out because they are all in a calibration program that a single person isn’t going to track and pay for
It's like a different industry. Airline guys generally get hammered, high pressure, dirty, rubbish conditions, heavy work, night shifts, grotty company tooling. I work in corporate and pretty much get paid to chat shit and drink tea for twelve hours a day, when I see the airline guys in the carpark at shift change they all look at least 10 years older than they are, like the living dead shuffling along.
In aviation all torque wrenches are calibrated items. The shop you are in is responsible for providing them with the calibration date/serial stickered on it. Its a huge no no to use an uncalibrated tool and would be a violation in the eyes of the FAA.
Ive never seen an aircraft tech not have countersink cages, rivet gun. Rivet sets, pneumatic squeezes, cherrymax gun, die grinders, 90deg angle drills, clecos, etc etc, etc.. where is all that?.
@sergeantdog3255 makes sense. Seen this many times. Glad you replied so i dont ha e to wonder. Never worked in MRO. Only mfg so guess thats why i didnt think of that.
I hate that there are 2 different standards for tools. I'm on the opposite spectrum and work on Japanese vehicles where everything is metric. SAE always seemed to confuse me.
That makes two of us. I’m guessing it’s different business to business? I know forsure the military requires shadow foam and every tool has to be accounted for before the plane can leave the ground. Thanks for watching Mike!
You are right with most places, its a bit unnerving to me seeing that many unshadowed tools but to each their own, all of mine are shadowed and engraved with my initials and a four digit number, and each location is numbered so anyone could look at my tool sheet and tell what tool belongs where, (this is all required by my employer) some places require a pre and post shift sign off to insure all your tools are accounted for, (also required where i work) its great for doing quick inventory of your box but it kills a lot of drawer space
The deal on the 68” box is UNREAL. Good for that guy.
Right?? Deal of a lifetime!
fr thats HF price territory

I thought aviation mechanics had to have everything foamed so you don't leave a tool behind? I must be ignorant here.
That makes two of us. I’m guessing it’s different business to business? I know forsure the military requires shadow foam and every tool has to be accounted for before the plane can leave the ground. Thanks for watching Mike!
You are right with most places, its a bit unnerving to me seeing that many unshadowed tools but to each their own, all of mine are shadowed and engraved with my initials and a four digit number, and each location is numbered so anyone could look at my tool sheet and tell what tool belongs where, (this is all required by my employer) some places require a pre and post shift sign off to insure all your tools are accounted for, (also required where i work) its great for doing quick inventory of your box but it kills a lot of drawer space
Airplane tools are so expensive ☠️
Great tour, but the music is repetitive to the point of being irritating.
Got it. Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for watching!
lol i have that same blue point plier/cutter set I'm not happy with kickin around my box. Terrible quality
