Most Full Apprentice Toolbox On YouTube! 

Awesome to see a young fella who takes pride in his trade and his tools good job!!

Very impressive collection of tools especially for a high school student!

It’s awesome to see a young tech take pride in his work and his tools. You’re onto a great start!

Love your tool collection and the fact that you got some of everything and are totally shameless about it (as you should be). Kudos to you for amassing such a giant collection of tools (considering your young age) and for what appears to be an awesome work ethic. VERY impressive young man!!!!!

when he opened that matco box..... wow for 17 ........im 22 you got more tools than me bro You are doing Great!!!!!

This is the best tool collection on RU-vid

I'm actually really impressed with what you have. At 17 I was working out of my dad's tool box that had half of what you have lol. You actually have more in tools at such a young age than I have at an old age. Glad to see a young guy so into this that's impressive. I've been basically tearing things apart and fixing everything since I was like 6 years old, I'm 51 now. Been in the business a long time.

Dude this is one of the best tool boxes I've seen. I tell my young people coming up to do what you've done. Used tools work just fine. Flea market, pawn shops, yard sales are gold mines. Cash talks loudest. Keep up the great work, man. You're doing great.

Dude get the tools while you have no bills and no responsibility’s you’re way ahead of me and I’m 20 and have all these bills now i wish i did what you did but i was too busy getting high and wasted and sleeping with my exs good to see someone who didn’t make the mistakes i made

You are a very intelligent young man the tools you have will be a steppingstone for your future endeavors it’s right between your ears that will make you the money and you seem like you are very disciplined already

I’ve been wrenching 17 years and I think you have more than I do 😂 nice!

hey guy! line tech here! awesome to see someone who is proud to work!

Awesome to see how much knowledge you have of the tools you use and the work that you do at such a young age..🏁

Awesome tool collection! After 24 years in the field. I still like collecting tools. Great tool box tour!

Impressive. If I thought I'd be working on cars more I would've started collecting sooner lol. I started in collision when I was 20. Covid hit hard when I was 22 and got let go and I found a transmission shop worked there for 2 years and now I'm a general mechanic at 24. When I was 17 I had a set of Stanley sockets and that's it. So I could work on my car. Should have started collecting sooner lol

Great video. Keep up the good work. You should be proud of where you are at 17. It's good to see younger people taking initiative!

Wow. Your set up is amazing for you being so young. I have cheaper stuff like Pittsburgh and Husky. I am not even a weekend warrior though. I just use it when one of my personal toys needs attention. Just keep your head in the game and you'll do fine. Don't let others distract you or bring you down.

when it comes finding a good job that's good paying, friendly environment and enjoyable to work in,I can totally relate 100%,it's not easy,but the jobs are there, another thing that can be frustrating is that the employer a lot of times will either provide you with complete crap tools that very difficult and a pain to work with or the tools will be decent but yet could still be improved, I honestly think you made the right decision by going with better quality tools that work best for you because that's makes a worker more efficient and faster at what they do,keep your head up and do what you can,don't try to reason with the employer,because 9 times out of 10 the employer will act like they're listening to your complaints when they're really not.

Nice stuff bud. I like to work on my cars as a DIY guy. At 17 you learned a lot.

Nice, awesome to see a young guy motivated. Never stop.

I was a farm kid growing up and I don't work on vehicles as a professional mechanic but I have fixed several of my own vehicles usually 4x4 and some 2wd usually used up older farm trucks and alot of them were gm square body trucks.

Halfway through the video and I am amazed at how much you have at 17! I also see that we have a lot of the same "good enough" tools from harbor freight. I even have the same box I just got this weekend 🤣. Congratulations and thanks for some ideas on organization.

Just watched this for a second time man you are going to have on hell of a collection when you get i to just your 20s 30s at this rate i wish i started at you're age i hope my boys get into cars so i can help them get started

The more skills you pocess the better your treated in the work environment….this translates into more money and how your treated at work…you seem that your going in the right direction…good luck on your future.

Wow! Nice boxes and great tools! Thank you!

Glad to see you're starting young , learning the trade and investing in your skills . Ive had some issues with places when it comes to recording / pictures. They worry about liability issues or opinions from YT channels that could reflect badly on them, etc . But lately ive been working about 30 hours on the side doing other trades, so its something to record Great selection of tools. Love SK Knowledge is the key to success Good video dude, showing some support

The grease is labeled super lube in s/o ratchet rebuild kits.

Good collection! Really glad to see you’re using hearing protection, because the more you protect your ears, the longer you’ll have hearing - it never comes back once it’s damaged, trust me 😖

Drooling about those SK X wrenches! Nice kit!

You know I was watching one of these videos and a man brought up a very valid point about Allen's. Why do we still use Allen wrenches and tea handles when now? We have bit sockets that we never really did before and you just get so much more torque out of a ratchet that I find myself where I used to always go for the Allen wrenches. Now I just go for the socket unless it's in a very particular position where an Allen wrench would have a advantage to getting to. I go straight for my sockets now but it never really occurred to me before

I'm blown away at the tool arsenal your piecing together. I can't remember if u said your 16 or 17, either way wow love your passion for your trade tools..

You are a Great Guy! Thank your Parents ! At your age I don't want to say just what I was doing, Make the most of it! I'm 64 now. It goes by at just the right speed.. It looks like you are doing well ! Keep it up.

Well done. You are fortunate to know what you want to do at such a young age. That's a nice tool set, cart and box. It's good to see you dedicated to building your foundational skills. Some advice if I may, with the increase in hybrids and the relentless push towards electric vehicles, it would be wise to keep developing your diagnostic/troubleshooting skills. Computer re-calibrations and the like seem to be where the industry is headed. You're off to a great start and I wish you all the best for your future 👍🏽

Sweet setup man, I have the same US General but in black. Great roll cart

Impressive, stick with it 🤟🔥

Very interesting video I'm brand new to the automotive industry and know Jack about cars and tools so it's cool seeing how a car tool/box/chest or whatever it's properly called I'm still not familiar with names of things yet but yeah seeing all those different tools the names of it and stuff and how you went about organizing them and the brief explanation about it throughout the video was helpful for a guy like me who does know absolutely Jack about cars and tools and wants to learn

Did you say you’re 17 years old? Damn that’s awesome young man keep up the good work

Really impressed for how things are with what your age is. Keep up the good and hard work man.

Yo the “strap on” decal on your Matco box is golden 😂 same font as good ol snap on. Also… if that was when you were 17 imagine your damn box now… you up to a shed yet?😂😂

I enjoyed both videos to the max! So cool that you did them in one take. Regarding the collection, mad respect!

And I like the 72 tooth husky ratchets..

All them hours went straight to your boxes and tools 😂

Great setup. I’m 20 been in the field for about 3 years now. I’ve always been the one everyone came too for tools because I buy so many even if I don’t need them right then lol. Me and you differ a little bit though cause I hate working on European cars lol 😂 I’m a Subaru tech at a large dealership with 10 franchise brands. Luckily no euro stuff lol. The only euro thing I work on is my classic Aircooled VW Beetle. I love working on cars. I’m not sure what all my tools are worth I’d say $8,000-$10,000 they sure do add up quick. I have tons of brands just like you do too. I don’t care what brand it is if it’s a tool I love it lol. I have lots of Snap-on, Matco, some Mac but we don’t have a Mac dealer. And lots of stuff from the auto parts store and Harbor Freight and Lowes and Home Depot. I seem to love retail store tools lol. Don’t know why. But the important stuff I buy from Snap-on or Matco like wrenches and pliers and ratchets and stuff.

i'm 15 and starting to get into these things. I have been working on my atv's and my f-150. this video really helped me understand all the different types of tools and what they are for.

Is the brand steelman good? How do you like those magnetic extensions by steelman? I’m asking because I want to get the Mac ones that look like those. Nice collection you have bro keep it up. You can never have to much tools

Nice setup. In addition to having all the tools you need, there is nothing wrong with additional tools if it makes you happy when you open the box. Plus, organizing all those tools is a blast IMO.

Nice to see how different American apprentices tool setups are like compared to my Australian set up

Awesome video. Your thumb bending backwards is freaking me out a bit 😂

Hey bud great video thank you for sharing a tour! Can you please do a tool review on you harbor freight torque wrenches please? I’m wanting to buy some new upgraded ones and want to see how good yours are before I buy.

Love it man! Very interesting video. Tool collection is 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥

Nice boxes bro &good experience for a beginning .once u have tools u can do the work

hello fellow apprentice from chicago this was motivating to watch

Keep those coming brilliant for content I'm the same new apprentis

Plenty of american cars/trucks have Etorx. Ford front axles for example.

When ur back feels better i can view indept

Gearwrench mid length sockets are awesome!!!

Nice set up man

Just saw this video, dont know maybe you already have one explaining my question but how did you get started at your age? It seems like you have a lot of expiriance alreay. I had a shop owner take me under his wing at 16 so i am curious how you got in the door. Either way you are impressive, i guess there is hope for younger generation!

1st time viewer, Hey man, great video. I saw one thing I want to point out.... Those blue earplugs you have.... yeah that is the 3M design that the militaary is paying all that money out over. They are bad for you, Id switch them out if I were you

i have been a mercedes tech for 28 years now. you just need to start applying at the mercedes dealerships and you will get hired. just do it for experience as the dealerships will not provide you a financial future. study and pass the ASE test.

Amazing set up for a guy your age! Too bad snap on doesn't warranty their screwdriver handles. I only buy the hard handles.

If you are doing newer jeeps you will need the etorx sockets Great video and awesome tool collection 🤙🏻

Your very lucky to be able to work on luxury cars man at your age that awesome bud nice setup you got to be makin bank 😂you got as nice of a setup as me and I’m more than twice your age lol keep it up bro

So cool. You'll have these tools with you for decades, then come back and do a video "10 years later" lol. Good luck bud!

💪💪 Damn , Nice set up

dope video 👍. I could only dream about having a sexy setup like this lol

Nice setup and well taken care of. I must have $80k in tools, always have room for a good deal.

With all your tools and your knowledge are you sure your 17? Lol

I’m pretty sure when I was 17 I didn’t have a single snap on tool

Sunex impact sockets are great. I regularly use 3/8 - 1 1/2 deep and their hex bit impact sockets in all drives. I butcher them daily and haven't broken one in 3 years Edit: my employer uses grainger, and ive broken several westwood hex bit impact sockets, even the big ones. which is strange because i always had assumed if it said CR-MO it was good...

Nice walkthrough! What material did you use to line the top and drawers of the green cart? What did you use to blackout the handles?

Ain’t even 18 already quit 2 jobs haha good job they love that on resumes

Wow awesome collection and great video!

Instead of snap on bits I’d recommend Mac rbrt bits because those for me are super amazing

Very impressive.

How can you afford all the tools and the matco box as an apprentice???? Very impressive

Nice setup! Reminds me of myself

Good stuff tommy.

17 with a matco box 😂 my man

keep up the goof eorl

can you make a video showing the tools you would not buy again?

That is not the top of the line klein multimeter that would be their tough meter series and kind does not make tools for home use. They make them for professional use, although most professionals use Klein hand tools or knipex hand tools with fluke multimeters

Really cool

Sounds like you need to lean to do as your are told, the boss's way. If not you better open your own shop! Awesome set of tools though!

when you look for deals such as snap on especially used sockets what are you mainly looking for.

Only thing you need to change is that meter get a fluke those Klein suck you will start having problems with leads not workin

How much do you owe to snap on mac and cornwell I have the hardest time letting me do payments bought 2 of those snap on combination wrenches a 8 and 10 12 point it was 90$ for just the 2 😂

im 13 just getting into tools but ive been around them for day one. My question is should i buy expensive of the start and take a little to get everything or cheap but i could have everything relatively quick

how do you push that to your flatbed? that things wait like 3 tons.

your thumb is very flexibel

What happened to the big red box?

Do volkswagena trzeba mieć nasadki 12 kątne + niektóre europejczyki mają śruby z łbem typu ribe

Asome 🤘

I know it sounds weird but they call them kuh nip x.

Does being an apprentice pay well???

Snap on doesn’t warranty handles only shanks

I’m not sure if it’s a tech thing or common but majority of you guys eat combos as snack never seen them till I started working at a dealership pretty cool lmao

Ain’t it illegal for 17 year olds to work overtime

i have a sense that he just bought a retired persons box and all their tools

Lot of tools for a know it all oil boy
