Great tour sir. Nice set-up for sure... you can normally identify a true craftsman in the way he organizes and cares for his tools and equipment for his trade.
Awesome tour! Like you I have a blend of tools from four job changes that take up alot of space but I'll never get rid of. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Great tour! Lot of nice stuff there! I just built a small 18' X 28' shop that I am hoping to start doing some small engine work as well. Sold most of my good stuff after getting fired for no good reason from a powersports stealership I was at. I was going to school for industrial mechanics at the time. New owners bought our shop and took on BRP full product line and all the tools were brought in boxes and no one sorted them out. So I was the only guy who would work on the PWC's, got BRP certified, and they weren't making as much money as they thought, so I had to go. Pretty sure because I was in school. Working as a maintenance tech at a large machine shop now. So kinda starting over with just a 56" harbor fraud box that I ordered, and starting to build up my collection again without getting hosed by the tool trucks. Got a lot of people around here that need work on their ATV's, UTV's, bikes, and sleds so hopefully I can make some cash on the sideski's!
Thanks for the view and the comment Ricky. I put a ton of time into organizing my box and tools. It is expensive getting all the tools. It didnt seem quite as bad for me as I purchased little by little over several years and made sure to pay off as I went.
@@twssmallengine1411 i did the same thing. I've probably got $15,000-$20,000 in snap-on, mac, matco and cornwell tools in a $900 u.s. general box lol. Bought them over the course of several years. Best money i ever spent.
No explanation needed, he who dies with the most tools wins! If you had a set of the new Snap-on Talon grips I would’ve said you’re a contender! Lol just kidding, you’re definitely a contender! Nice set up !
A lot of $$ into that setup. ✊ respect. People don’t understand how much we spend in tools. Can skimp on a lot of things but you get what you pay for in most cases.
Very nice toolbox and a hell of a nice tool collection too. I'm really sorry but I only made it to the 25min mark. I really love tools and toolbox inventories. I even have my toolbox inventory video here on RU-vid too. You try and show & talk a little to much for me. Because I got board. But a really awesome toolbox & tools! Gregg Muse
GP makes great, top shelf stuff! I'll actually use their impact sockets over my damn Snap-On that always rust, no matter how much I oil and care for them!
Thanks for watching Wayne. If your referring to the little red box on top that isn't a toolbox. Its just a little parts organizer like what they use for hardware assortments from Fastenal
You mentioned that you used your triple square sockets in truck repairs. What makes/models/situations did you have to use them? I have never run into a triple square fastener in heavy truck repair. Thanks.
The new Mac 1/4 impact gun is the best of the best it took off lug nuts on a light duty durmax torqued with a snap on torque wrench it was set to 210 ft lbs it aS able to do 205 and its only rated at 70-130 it does wayyyy wayyy wayy more
Hey Troy, I was hit on my Harley about ten months ago and had my leg crushed . I had extensive blood clots and was told if I didn't have surgery that I would be dead in less than ten minutes. I was not able to walk for 7 months and ended up leaving my job because I could not do what I needed to do. I am starting a small engine repair/lawn equipment/mobile welding business and although I do not have all the tools you have, I am well stocked. I also have several great welders and my specialty is cast iron and sheet metal. I am building a machine shop and also have a 1999 Ford Ranger that needs welding that I am building a Knuckle boom crane for. I am in Phoenixville PA and welcome any advice you could give me. Are you in PA?
Hi Jimmy, Thanks for viewing and for the comment. Wow that is quite a story! Good for you to keep going! The advice I would have for you would be to start out with a good business plan in place. It sounds like you have a very good plan as far as being diversified to what you offer with the welding part of it. I think that will prove to be a good thing for you during the slow season in small engine repair. Advertise a lot and don't forget your best advertising is word of mouth. Put 100% effort into each and every job you do and you will be busy with repeat customers. I am in MN.
I hear you man I was also cut of on my motorcycle by a guy making a left hand turn pulled right out in front of me nothing I could do less then 2 sec. also had my leg crushed between the bike and the suv broke both bones tib and fib down by my ankle. I was in wheel chair for 6 months myself. This was like 3 years ago. Things do get better sounds like you have a good attitude. Hope things work out for your new business.
Had to resuscitate an old thread, but if you want to run your own business. Learn standard bookkeeping, and become an expert in taxes...you can do the courses at a community college. Every penny saved is a penny earned. You will be very surprised that itnis not about making money itnis about keeping it. Knowing your taxes you can suck everything from a proportion of your mortgage, utilities and your tools out of taxes. Best of luck.
@@twssmallengine1411 yeah, GP has a website but you can't buy directly from them. "Locate a dealer" is the option they give. I hate that crap. Why even have a website.
@@wolleysegap9740 Mac Tools sells GP, they are an authorized retailer. I bought two sockets from Mac Tools, and they will warranty them. I heard GP won't warranty stuff bought off of Amazon. Anyway, the price I paid for my sockets was only 2 or 3 dollars more than what I could find on Amazon so to me it was worth it to buy from Mac Tools to get the warranty. If you plan on going that route, go to GP's website first, write down the part numbers of the items you are interested in (or a description of the items), then call Mac Tools and speak with the tech department and give them the GP part numbers/description of what you want to order. They will be able to give you the "Mac Tools" item number for the GP items you are interested and then they can transfer you over to a customer service person who can place your order. Kind of a pain to do this but to me I want to be able to get the full warranty on the GP sockets.
That long barrel Marco air hammer is a bad dude its proven itself to me bar non besides somd of my old big industrial air hammer is so strong it will literally break ur hand if u dont use it right
Nice and cleaned and organized. Some of the people that I have worked with have like a rats nest of a tool box. You couldn't find nothing even if you tried
You don't need to explain yourself or why you have so many tools, if I man likes tools then he likes tools, it's your money and you spend it the way you want, ain't nobody thats watching this video waking up every morning and going to work for you or taking care of you so no one has any business saying nothing
