I sent you an email a while back, and I took your advice. You said “if you want to be a mechanic, then be a mechanic.” Well. I just finished up my first full week as an entry level auto tech. I thank you for making it simple. Just by saying, if you want to do it, then do it. That was all I needed to hear from someone in the industry to get just enough confidence to see if I’ve got what it takes. And so far, I think I do! Thanks man.

@markm0000 Год назад

I always admired mechanics whenever I’d get my truck worked on. I decided to make this career change-4 months deep and I’m loving every minute of it. Before this, I was in IT and then had a small Trucking business. My best advice is to do the research and buy the tools that make your life easier before you buy expensive tool truck tools. Ask senior mechanics to show you what they use and buy what makes sense. Also, never ever use your hand as a hammer and wear gloves all the time. Put lotion or Vaseline on your arms to keep grease and burned oil out, it’s also a good scratch protectant. Keep a set of earplugs at arms reach when things get loud. Good luck 👍

@AdeptApe Год назад

That is super cool. I remember your email and good luck.

@djosbun Год назад

Congratulations! Don’t forget to try and learn something new every week. You’ll go far if you always invest in knowledge.

@coleyoungren9207 Год назад

This is what I like to hear it is always nice to get a straightforward solid answer. Keep up the hard work.

@LS98G Год назад

Great Job

@howardjlogan Год назад

You have bought the best tool box on the planet. There is nothing quite like the Snap On Epiq box. Congratulations! I really liked your walk through of your new box. I really like how different techs imagine the space for their tools and how different lay outs of tools satisfy their needs. Really enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge of Cat diesels!

@edbuckley1670 Год назад

I loved my snap-on toolbox but after paying $14,000 for it and some idiot backing a cement mixer into it at work I replaced it with the harbor freight 72 in US general box and had enough money left over to buy a Monte Carlo SS.I will never drop over five figures on a metal box to store my tools again. Your box looks really nice though congratulations. As a professional mechanic people do not seem to take you as serious if you do not have a Snap-On or matco box

@diesellivesmatter Год назад

Agreed

@Failure_Is_An_Option Год назад

Second that.

@jamesjohnson7266 Год назад

Nice setup , I like the spring idea for pliers, I accepted a position with cat in my area starting in mid January , after 20+ years of truck repair I think I'll give a try to the heavy equipment side

@johngoldsmith6629 Год назад

One of my best tools, I found it on top of a cylinder head. A magnet that is so strong you can not pull it off a I beam with two fingers. Drop something in the oil pan you can drag it over to the drain hole. Around the oil pump it will stay in place do to the oil pump gear. One of my EUI height tools, I cut the lower side off (radiator side) so it fits better. Took a 7/8 deep well socket and cut a hole in it to torque EUI nuts on ACERT engines. Took a broken pocket magnet and attached it to a SOS tube. Made a short nine pin splice so when you hook ET up and you have no power, it has a long power wire with alligator clip to hook to a power source. Most of the time your home made and modified tools are your best, as they make your life easier.

@AdeptApe Год назад

I have a damper turning tool that slides over the damper to turn it, kind of like a sideways pipe wrench. Doesn't damage it, but might scratch the paint, really makes turning the Cats a lot easier.

@johngoldsmith6629 Год назад

@@AdeptApe Interesting, I use a long 1/2 drive ratchet with a cut off socket. Made a TDC bolt with a spring for C13. Put it in the flywheel hsg and when the bolt hole lines up, snaps in.

@rburli Год назад

Awesome video with an amazing amount of proper tools and equipment for your trade. Josh you take pride in what you do, it shows in your videos. Thank you for taking us along with you.

@FarmerSteveO Год назад

I always enjoy the review and comment you give! You can learn so much of what works well and what doesn’t, even when it comes to tools.

@cattech1321 Год назад

I just recently came across your videos I work for a CAT dealership myself in Florida been there for 22+ years on the heavy equipment side I’ve accumulated quite a bit of tools myself I really enjoyed the video just when you opened your oring box my mouth dropped our contamination control is so strict anyway keep up the great videos thanks for sharing

@davidj736 Год назад

RP Safety Dept would have field day with those red hooks that have no latches on them lol.

@BigJfan Год назад

So hard to organize a new toolbox and then relearn the new set-up. It's amazing how many tools you need/ collect during your career. I switched to the 84" bottom and top box a few years ago and couldn't believe how hard it was to get used to it. I still end up opening three drawers before finding things. Congratulations on a great purchase.

@mattmargerum9618 5 месяцев назад

I already feel the pain. Im going from a 13 drawer Ive had for 20 years to a 10 drawer. It’s going to screw me all up! Lol

@caerusdharken57 Год назад

I love the idea of the springs for holding tools, I'll give that a try. Thanks for sharing.

@richpitty Год назад

I have the same matco box and I’m happy with it I’ve had it for years now never had any issues

@billcovert3473 Год назад

Nice tour. The 1 1/2 socket for thermostat seals, same here for over 40 years. Instead of wood chisels for gasket scrapers the guys in this area would get saw mill planer blades. Cool tour!

@harrywu2785 Год назад

Wow, you are awesome and professional. I am providing engine parts to others, but I am still learning the structure of the engine.

Sick tool box Josh. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve got that same 68in but it’s matte orange and I love it!!

Nice new "cart" I hope you got a really sweet deal on it. It will take a little bit to get things how they work best for you. Stay safe and healthy.

@tobybrown1179 Год назад

Nice top draw setup,you do a great video . Keep up the great work

@brownwrench Год назад

I'm heading for the ICON 72" with a hutch.

@martykath4427 Год назад

Did my apprenticeship in Australia in the 70s and a tool allowance was part of the deal. We only had to supply spanners, sockets up to 1 inch in size . Ones employer had to supply all the 3/4 stuff, air tools, tension wrenches ,special tools, lifting gear etc. Hence I could pick up my tool box up on my own and take it home to do whatever. I worked on Massey Ferguson tractors (30 to 120hp) and cane harvesters at the time.

@gregblau8082 Год назад

Nice setup. My old snap on guy offered me a great deal on an epiq a few years back and I didn't really need it, but am still kicking myself a little for not jumping on it

@supremetacoholdthesourcrea5968 Год назад

Watching videos like this makes me thank god I’m an aircraft mechanic, I don’t need nearly this many tools.

@esaigarcia6741 Год назад

Holy moly, I been wanting on this!

Ahhhhh the Destruction of the Week sound effect for a Snap On box...only $50 a week for the next 20 years! Yes, true destruction of the week material there!

@maskeenabbasi9319 Год назад

Very nice

@larrytalley117 Год назад

Wow, orange and black were my high school colors. I used to work with a technician who had one of the premium snap on tool boxes with butcher block top. Understandably he was very possessive of his box. Once another technician placed a part (part was in a box) on the top of his tool box. He was not a happy camper.

@markm0000 Год назад

I don’t get people that buy a ultra expensive toolbox and treat it like it’s made of gold and nobody can touch it. My philosophy is any tool I bring to work is going to get used and damaged including the toolbox itself. What’s crazy is how none of these toolboxes have options for a clear covering over the paint like cars have on the front bumper. If I ever get a fancy box it’s getting protected so even if I throw a wrench at it the paint will be just fine.

@guacamoleweiner69 Год назад

I wouldn't be happy either if someone were to touch or put something on my property

@marcosdiesel6012 Год назад

organization and everything

@brandonceulemans9077 Год назад

That’s the shape of box I wish I had got. I have the 84” with bed liner top and workcenter. But it has the single wrench long drawer not the two.

@ronaldjohnson1474 Год назад

A true mechanic - has speed drivers. Too many "techs" use powered tools when they need the finesse available from a speeder.

@redmesa2975 Год назад

4:56 I have 2 of those height gauges too. Found one under a rocker cover in an engine & bought one. I don’t even work on cats lol , but I have ‘em 15:51 - colored telephone wire works great. Hard to find though. I raided the phone computer scrap bin years ago, and stocked up.

@1Truckman Год назад

I dunno, it doesn't look any more disorganized than my boxes looked when I was still pulling wrenches...It's good to upgrade your boxes now and then, kind of a reward to yourself...

@dieselfixr Год назад

An epiq 68 inch box just has the ROLL CART! Damn.

@haiderk3246 Год назад

Nice 👍

@ElkoCowboy888 Год назад

My only comment would be to get better organized and clean out what you don't use or need. Buy some Ernst drawers organizers for loose tools and Plano or Flambeau fishing boxes with movable dividers so you can customize them for all the little parts. I got a new big triple bank a few years ago and decided I wasn't going to let it become messy. Mechanics tend to keep everything and the next thing you have 20 years of stuff you will never use.

@jeremylucker9564 Месяц назад

Hey Josh! Love your videos, really helped me land an apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic. Can I ask you do a 'tools for new diesel mechanics‘ specifically what tools are most commonly used and the names of them? I’m starting my apprenticeship in a few weeks and a increasing my knowledge on tools would be very advantageous! Thanks so much

@jerry4012 Год назад

I remember my first time seeing an inverted torx bolt, it shook me down to my core. WHY GOD? WHYYYY?

@mikemata623 8 месяцев назад

You would hate working on Euro cars, I work on them daily and pretty much every other bolt is inverted torx. Still better than triple squares tho.

@Justme-jt1ef Год назад

I got the roll cart with the impact gun holder I use one as my coffee cup holder lol

@pedropedro2837 Год назад

Thank you

@danieldesantiago6472 Год назад

Ahh, Tapatio… a man of taste.

@SuperSecretSquirell Год назад

I'm the last one in the shop without an Epiq box now. I like the flush front of the Epiq because I tend to drop things and it smacks the top of every drawer on the way down so a lot of my lower drawers have dings in them. Not to mention the stupid plastic slide locks on the Masters suck. But I haven't owed the the truck a penny in a decade, so that probably won't change unless I hit the lotto lol.

@syndoxxx1665 Год назад

I'm about 10 months into the trades, goin for my first year this May-June I took block instead of day release cause I heard that the sooner you finish the better. Bought my first mac tech series toolbox and man oh man... I wish they had it in orange with black trims.. the green with black trim isn't all that bad tho.

@finnsuchara1992 Год назад

I love how the intros just keep getting quicker and more incomprehensible with each new video. (0:00) 😂

@OnTheToolsWithSal Год назад

Avoid the rhino liner top, lots of failures. Then you end up waiting again. The bedliner coating Snap-on uses doesn’t hold up to brake fluid etc. I had mine replaced and went with a plain top

@flatoutricky Год назад

I had a ex coworker that just got a few 2x6 glued together and cleaned them up and took it to get line x, haven’t heard if it held up but I thought it was a good cheaper idea

@AdeptApe Год назад

Well they talked me into the rhino liner one so it doesn't scratch and if there is a problem I'll definitely let them know about it or there might be a video about it lol.

@markm0000 Год назад

Omg yes bro 🙌

I thought I was the only wierdo with socks in my toolbox hahahaha

@DeiselD305 Год назад

the cut scream about the snapon torque angle had me dead🤣🤣🤣 ive never trusted it either

@josephpuchel6497 Год назад

Nice box tour . I need one with those deep draws . You like the Milwaukee cordless. I like the crock pot.

@AdeptApe Год назад

I do like the Milwaukee tools, but not their battery prices. Still use air tools on big jobs like main bearings and stuff though, keep oil off the electric impacts and doesn't beat them up as much.

@johngoldsmith6629 Год назад

I will take the crock pot over the tools any day. They make you sweat and say bad words.

@ccooper04 Год назад

Power Gen tech here with Cat but about to be moving into the engine bay. The epiq box is what I’ve been looking at as well. Can’t decide between the 68 and 84

@Cyn_fan 8 месяцев назад

I bought that same box back in May my snap-on guy gave me a pretty good deal on it half the price that it is online

@Fatamus Год назад

Inverted Torx head ... Crescent makes a specialized adjustable wrench to round them off.

@rsmith3033 Год назад

@wheelspin1000 Год назад

Thumbs Up! What brand/model tool do you use to cut open the oil filters?

@Madeoll Год назад

Great video thanks! Do you get a tool allowance? Is that pretty standard in the trade to get a tool allowance? This looks expensive

@timmay2k Год назад

That’s an expensive set up there. It ain’t cheap being a mechanic. Every time a snap on truck comes it’s like a kid in a candy store. 😂😂

@daltongoodwine6617 Год назад

how big are the springs u use to hold wrenches ect

@patcb829 Год назад

Haha. I was wondering what those were on your boots.

Where do you keep all your dial gauges, micrometers, etc.

@mikenicholson2548 Год назад

The cat torque wrench looks just like the snap on that I have.

Snap on makes CATs tooling.

@vvldinoss1063 Год назад

@erik34 Год назад

"I should probably light this drawer on fire." That's gotta be my new box sticker. Like the vid, by the way, what are those boots ya got on?

@zimmyflip Год назад

That is why I ordered my Powerset up in my Cabinet I wasn't a fan of the drawer. You didn't get the alarm system add on I see.

@knickebien1966 Год назад

11:25 what is cooking in the crock pot? seized fasteners or lunch? hot sauce is as good as penetrating oil, at least taste wise.

How do you like that Milwaukee 3/8 stubby I think it's the best damn tool I ever bought out of all the tools I have I could not live without that so nice not having to Drag a air hoes around to get the job done
