Started Wrenching At 14 Years Old!!! (HEAVY DIESEL) 

The best part about this is the know-how of the owners of the tools. And in the case of this guy, there is simply no fooling or fiddling about, he is prepared for whatever comes his way. Brings a tear to the eye. Thanks for filming these.

Keep bringing more Heavy Diesel tours. As a Diesel tech, I can appreciate these videos.

That’s one of the most impressive box tours yet. Seeing how worn the ‘new’ stuff is says all you need about this guy… he’s a grafter.

Impressive young guy. I’m tired of gen xers criticizing the younger generations. There are lots of impressive young men out there.

Another great toolbox tour gotta give some respect to that young man for being the only tech at such a busy shop. Thanks for sharing

He looks so tired, when he said he was the only technician there I saw pain in his eyes

I’m addicted to these videos

The last two heavy duty videos have been awesome. Keep them coming great job.

I love that he doesn't hesitate to buy the best tools for the job. Respect brother 💪

Oh man, when they open their top drawer and it has the tool grid you know you're in for a treat and Tristan did not disappoint! Very comprehensive set of tools and you can tell he's got the skills to go along with them. Cool guy too, type of guy you hope you have for a coworker. Thanks for the toolbox tour Tristan keep up the hard work buddy! And as always thanks for the awesome video Dustin, really enjoyed this one!

What a great collection of tools. for a young lad. Hes used them tools well and you can tell. I hope his employer looks after him well. Because very few young lads wanting to become mechanics in today's society. Great video well documented

This is the second very impressive young tech you’ve featured recently. There may be hope for the future yet!

One thing you will notice about shops like this is guys can keep their higher end tools like he has all of his expensive ratchets sitting right out in the hutch and not worried about someone walking by snagging them. Its an honor system among hard working men that people who havent been in these environments cannot understand.

15:27 I have a replacement selector valve for FWD/REV I can send that guy, the new ones are dead on concentric so wont bind up from grime.

Great to see young people working in the trade, fantastic setup he has.

Love the HD diesel tool box tours man keep it up.

I’m a 14 year teen and I work on cars and this is cool this is very inspiring 😊

My favorite…was wondering when you’d get to a heavy equipment box tour. 😁 This is my new favorite video with the guy with the tank a very close second. This young man knows what he wants, says what is garbage, and knows his direction. Nice. More time on those big sockets, some are $500 on their own. 😉

I've been binging these tours and as a small engine technician myself I think it would be awesome if you did a tour with a small engine tech, It might not be as flashy as some of these other shops but it would definitely be a very different perspective and a chance to bring in some new audiences

Very knowledgeable guy. Can tell he’s been doing it a long time

That's a sweet setup! He started talking about the snap on crescent wrenches, and I was nodding in agreement. I never knew a crescent wrench could be so perfect! I love mine

This guy knows what’s up! Great video

Epic. Thank you for the video and your time Friend! Hope all is well with you & yours! Have a great rest of your day & a nice weekend! ✌🕶🔧

Love seeing young dudes who has a lot of tools that use em and know what they’re for . a lot of new guys in the shop who have no clue and just buy stuff to flex snap on and end up not liking the trade and being in debt or selling their stuff for half off lol

Only tech in the shop and he’s 16 years old. Just kidding In all seriousness this guy has it figured out. Good luck to him in the future. Keep the tours coming!

That's a proper tool collection, but I hope he hasn't got loads of debt to have it at such a young age.

After watching several of Tool Box Tours I have noticed there is a huge difference between how a mechanic stores their tools compared to electricians. Give an electrician 3 task special screw drivers for a project next week and the next week they will have a broken one in hand, one in their junk drawer at home, and the other one in their lunch box.

Keep up the good work in your videos. I really appreciate your time & detail with your videos. You are going to blow up on youtube & i pray that you do.

Guy has a good head on his shoulder hope he sticks with the heavies. and great vid.

At this point I’m mad how jealous I am. That’s part of being human I guess. Mad respect to this guy for what he’s accomplished.

We see who is making all the money, being the only tech he probably gets a blank check everyweek! Thanks for the post!

Those big cobras work great!

This kid is sharp! Love his setup

This smart guy mad respect

That Snap On multitester must be their best seller.

That young man is squared away

Hell of a set up ! Those 22” Knipex are amazing. People laughed at me when I first bought them. 2 months later everyone had them in their boxes.

I’ve got that same Astro 1894 half inch. I find that sometimes the direction switch does get bound up, but usually what I do is brake clean it out then drip a bunch of air tool oil on the switch and it works good. Almost like something bound up in it. I do think that’s the most delicate part and I’ve heard about it getting bent with just a little abuse and really not wanting to switch. Other issue, if you run it with the silencer in, eventually it’ll pull the threads out of the plate on the bottom of the handle cause it moves so much air, mine also rattled the screws that hold the rear cover on out. I put them back with red locktite and they haven’t come out since. All in all, big fan, I believe it’s the most powerful gun in the shop. Kicks the snot out of the Milwaukee high torques everyone else uses. (And I’m not anti-Milwaukee, all my other powered tools are Milwaukee)

Wow,he has some money tied up in tools!! God bless him!

The heavy hitters. 💪🏽

Dear god. Definitely a subscriber to the ‘buy once, cry once’ school. Fair play to him. A terrific set-up. Them crescent wrenches are Bahco-made, I’m almost certain.

More auto body box tours. As a body tech I love seeing any tools I don’t have

19:59 the words I live by 🫡💯

I'm 27 now my dad is a general contractor growing up we had excavators loaders skid steers dump trucks farm tractors you name it and it was my job to maintain and repair them I don't remember exactly how old I was when I actually started working on them probably 11-12 my mom has a picture on the wall of me and my dad when I was 2 years old with my dad's legs hanging out from under a dump truck fuel tank and you could just barely see my feet sticking out I've since gone to trade school and I went into heavy duty equipment and truck repair everything from little stump grinders up to earth moving dump trucks and on site excavators that have to be repaired on site because moving them requires the boom house and track frame to be separated then reassembled for hauling it's too cost prohibitive to move them no matter what the failure but I was getting a flywheel ground at the Kenworth dealership about 6 years ago and I had gotten to be friends with a mechanic there and we were shooting the breeze while he ground my flywheel and he was an older guy in his 50s and I asked him if it was a good idea to make it a life long career he said verbatim "boy look around this shop . do you see any other old men in here ? he said they're all retired early because they got back injuries shoulder injuries etc. get out while you're young " I made a hell of a lot of money doing it and had a lot of fun experiences traveled all over the country and about 4 years ago I said enough is enough already have back problems I feel 14 feet off of an excavator straight knees first into gravel they swelled up the size of cantelopes and I have a high tolerance for pain but I just laid face down in the gravel for 15 minutes it was so bad I couldn't even move I was by myself on site so eventually I rolled myself over and drug myself up against the track frame and started to see how bad it was blood from my knees to my waist and running into my boots I laid there for about an hour finally checked myself out nothing was broken that I could tell other than one knee cap I got up I walked to my truck and I got in and drove home the next day I took my friend got all the tools I had left there and decided never again I now still am a mechanic but I run a powersports shop working on atvs and UTVs and I wouldn't even consider going back I make even more money (this makes no sense but its true) people will pay more to have their toys fixed than they will to have a piece of equipment repaired its cometely backwarda toys cost them money and equipment makes them money but theyll pay $200 an hour just so they can go ride again the followijg weekend get out while you can man quit hang it up and find another mechanic job that wont drive you to an early retirement

Master Series that 👌🏻

The beeping in the background. Dang ! 😮😅😂

Nice to see a box without a bunch of parts and trash inside.

Great video

This guy is a perfect example of why you don't need to buy snap on for everything. Keeps his snap on at home so he doesn't lose them. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I’m the only tech at our shop I stay pretty busy which is nice. But at times can be pretty stressful. It’s gave me a lot of good opportunities to talk my way into a raise.

The low battery radio noise driving me crazy while I’m at work thinking it’s my radio

Great video 👍

both my snap on boxes u have to pull hard to get the last inch every now and again

This guy is definitely like me, not afraid to tell you something he bought wasn't very useful.

using these videos to see how to set my self up for organizing 🤣

Wow if he takes care of all that in 30 years he could sell it and have one hell of a retirement nest egg.

would love to see a budget tool box from a master tech

Mind you this was a dealership, but the most successful shop I worked at was a Ford dealer and they had 15-20 techs. Two more in the frame shop and 12 more in the body shop. Any shop that has trouble keeping employees, something is wrong.

8 minutes in… my man is thee shit! Lol

I got that fancy punch set by mac

16:28 I think that air hammer is the MPH1911, not the MPH1931.

Buddy is stacked I got a lot of stuff this is one of the better stocked boxes I’ve seen with quality tools .. interested to know that wrench set what sizes they got to.. not gonna line the snap on air hammer it the best must have not had it turned up Iva head all 4 brands snap on kills the others

Nice

Hopes he’s well taken care of

As always, nice video but I'd like to see more aviation guys .

140 dollars to remove panels... what a time to be alive

The pwz snap on pliers are like the knipex but they make some that are massive I got the 1 and 2s

I love my Mac air hammer aswell

God these videos cost me money, but keep them coming

I went onto a snap on truck for the first time ever. I left immediately after getting a quote for some trivial set of three extensions. The price was ridiculous. Can’t see why people pay inflated prices for those tools.

Nice tool setup. Jealous. That’s some good job security. I’m sure you have a hand full of bargaining chips.

One minute into the video… its a classic series… dude is shot… lol Its a Masters series…. Lmao

The rotor screws are a jis bit. Get them and you will be happy

Anybody know the name/part for those clip things in his hutch that he used for holding his wratchets?

Anyone know the brand name of those red locking socket rails

Yeaaahhh he wouldn’t be a great candidate in the automotive industry 😂 I can just tell. He’s one of those dudes that just like to talk and takes HOURS to do an oil change and do a battery service 🤣

I know guys finance their tools but do mechanics actually pay these snap-on prices? Or is is like the parts store here where everything is marked up huge for walk in customers but mechanics buy everything at 40% off?

This man has only one tone of voice lol

didn’t know snap on pliers would bend like that wtf

That's not a classic series box. It's a master series. Classic don't have the trim running vertical on each side.

I tried to warranty a ratchet at a snap on dealer and he said he had to sold to me to warranty and he can't du it and if u go to offer up a wrench set that was 500 is 200 and Craftsman wrench set that was 50 new is 400 on offer up snap on lost have the value and when u ready to retire and don't spend money on the truck u won't ever see hom

What he said about Cummins around 8:00 is true on freigtliner cascadias also. It’s sooooooo annoying. Anything not a Detroit part is typically metric anything a Detroit is typically SAE but that’s on the older-ish freightliners. Again typically, not always

I would sale all of it and retire

2,750$ for the wrenches 😮!!! OMFG ok I love my snap on stuff. But there’s no way no fucking way I’m spending nearly 3k on wrenches. That’s a robbery

Get more heavy equipment. Train mechanics large crane and ship mechanics. Say an engine for cargo ships earlier that was like 18’ long.

this guy is way under paid. Shops like these go on the cheap thats why he is the only tech. Time for a raise or tool allowance

Wow letting your girl friend tell you how to spend your money how sad 😢

One important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?

Cocaine is a helluva drug...

I could .. Totally work with this guy doin Heavy wheeL..!!🤘🪛🤘

20 something grand on a toolbox? I might not never.
