I was thinking about buying those Pittsburgh screwdrivers last week I thought they look like a good set of beater, screwdrivers, funny.
We always need some good beaters for screwdrivers,lol!! Thanks for joining in my friend!!
I got those screwdrivers to throw in a toolbox I keep in my truck I actually like them
Jeff's garage adventures.. Awesome video and cool giveaway. That is going to be a hard choice between the Icon ratchet and the Carlyle wrenches. I guess I have time to decide. LOL
Hi Renegade thanks for checking in,good luck sundays drawing!!
@@jefftovani5535 Thank you sir.
Another giveaway! You're awesome sir!
Coming up on 7K already! That’s awesome Jeff, congratulations!!!
Thank you my friend for checking in and your support of the channel!!
Weekend Warriors are in the house! Every time I see those flexible hose clamp pliers I think that it would make my life so much easier. I have to pull the trigger on those soon. Thanks Jeff
There worth a look my friend,i use them alot!!!!! thanks for joining in!!!
The long cable operated hose clamp pliers are the my first choice and i don’t get my other hose clamp pliers out of my box, they are collecting dust!
Here are some additional tools that may be useful:
- A bench vise
- A bench grinder / wire brush combination
- A 3/8-inch socket hex/torx set
- An anti-seize compound
- A penetrating oil
Great content, as usual!
Thread chaser set, knipex cobras, and extra large pry bar.
I have a second small bench grinder rigged up with wire brushes. It's a time saver if you work with rusty fasteners.
@@ToolsMethodsPhilosophies Yuup, thread chaser set. quicker than the tap and die set. Use it too often actually, chasing after other peoples "repairs".
Hi Kara yes some good ones my friend,more coming on this,stay tuned!!
Yes,yes!! stay tuned on this topic!!! thanks my friend!!
Those Carlyle wrenches are mighty nice, thanks Jeff!
They sure are my friend!! thanks as always!!!
Good line up I found that when I was in shop I used a 21 to 24 in prybar daily in 97 I worked at GM dealer found a pittsburg pry bar under hood of car went on snap on truck had a snap on put a handle on it used it for almost 26 yrs didn't bother me when I lost it but I miss it it really held up great
Yes big prybars are a must!! thanks for sharing that story!!
Just heard that HF will have a sale in August with 40% off all Icon ratchets. Is that flex head ratchet worth it at the 40% off price?
Hi Ben,yes its worth it!! is a solid ratchet!!! thanks Ben!!
I never fail to find something I need watching your vids.
Thanks chris,more coming,stay tuned!!!!
Awesome video and giveaway Jeff you're tool box picture would make a great screen shot , here is a tip that has worked for me go to the gun range and pick up a bunch of different sizes of brass they work great for gasket hole punches when they're full start with a new one my biggest was a 37 mm shell thanks again Jeff oh what tool is in the blue box at the start of the video ?
Hi tank thats a clever idea with the brass casing!! the blue box are rocket sockets,damaged fastner removel ,turbo sockets there also known as!! thanks for joining in!!
They are all great suggestions Jeff keep up the great videos. 🛠️
There more coming!!! thanks phill!!!
I went 20 years without having the round nose hose pliers. It felt like a game changer when I got mine.
Boy Mike i hear ya!! they sure are handy!!! thanks mike!!
Computer friendly test light
Hi dave yes,another good one!! thanks for joining in!!
i end up buying the same tools over and over again as i can never find the ones i already own when i need them...my tool chest overflowed long ago.
From Louisville, Kentucky. I like your channel. Very informative. I will be adding to my toolbox, based on your suggestions. By the way - I love your ultimate toolbox. Absolutely Fantastic! Thanks a bunch.
Thanks mark!! lots more coming!!! stay tuned!!!
Wow...7K, I remember you being excited at 500. Nice work, continued success, brother.
Thanks steve for beiing around to support the channel!!!
One draw, two choices, one pick!!!
Sounds like a Weston.
Sometimes it's the tool that makes all the difference....
Hope you have a wonderful day!!
Hi norman i try to make things interesting,lol!! thanks my friend!!!
love these kind of vids. lists of must haves etc. 👍🏻
Hi sam im not done with this topic!! its been popular video!! thanks sam!!
This is the type of video my bride doesn't like 😁
As an amateur / volunteer / DIY'er / Handyman, I probably have all the tools I need, but for some reason, my toolboxes keep growing... 😁. Looking at the opening scene - I think I have variations of everything on the table! Anway - Thanks for the Video, Jeff!
Hi my friend i hear ya!! something about tools,lol!! thanks my friend for supporting the channel!!!
I have used that exact same noco battery boost it has never let me down one of the best on the market I reckon
Hi sam its super handy!!! everybody should have one!! thanks for joining in!!!
Your videos are always enjoyable...I've loved tools since I was a kid, rummaging through my uncle's Snap On box while he worked on the Rambler.
Boy my father had a 65 rambler i believe!! thanks for joining in my friend!!!
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
No problem Chuck!! stay tuned,thanks!!
Great content for the weekend warrior! Excellent work! I’m inspired to get to work this weekend on my old 65 Plymouth Barracuda I’m starting a budget garage build and I’m so excited about it. Those are really good quality wrenches from Napa, not cheap. Been having my eyes on them but can’t never find them in stock at my local stores. Cheers❤
Thanks for joining in my friend!! good luck with your build and good luck sundays drawing!!!
I'd probably get 2 torque wrenches. A 3/8 dr that measures ft lbs, and a 1/4 dr that measures inch pounds. Maybe add a decent code reader to the list, one that has the recommended fix for the codes and live data. Harbor Freight has a really nice one for around $130. And, a set of the large size impact socket set for axle nuts. Lately I've been adding to my service tools, the last thing i got was a ball joint service kit and a wheel bearing kit, like the one you have there. I also picked up a blind bearing slide hammer kit. Usually, i see whats discounted at HF each month and i also joined their Inside Track Club. It paid for itself the day i joined by saving me $30 on an air compressor.
All good choices my friend!! this topic will continue,stay tuned!!! thanks my friend!!
How bout sum pass through sockets or maybe sum low profile duel drive sockets... But that's pretty much the essentials if anyone wanted to work on automobiles... Nice video. 👌👍🤙😎
Good ones to add my friend!! i not done with this topic!!! stay tuned thanks!!
This video I didn’t know I needed. Thanks again Jeff. My next project is a manifold cover replacement.
Hi my friend this has a part 2 and 3,stay tuned!!
Commenting for the giveaway. Thank you Jeff. How about Nut and bolt thread checker gauge.
Thats another good one!! stay tuned on this topic!! thanks my friend!!!
More excellent information coming from Jeff! I haven't been watching long but, I appreciate every video you produce. Keep up the awesome work!
Is that a 85 GMC square body you have?
If you're like me, you're always dropping nuts and bolts. An extendable magnet has retrieved items from some of the hardest to reach places and they're cheep. Also, Jeff, I just picked up the Astro magnetic spark plug socket set. Awesome.
Hi randy i have that also,this is going ti be a mini series!! stay tuned,thanks!!!
Did you ever consider doing a Hercules impact review? The high torque 1/2 3/8 and 1/4 drives???
I havent but ill put it on the list,thanks for the feedback!!
Love your videos. Gotta get me that jump pack. The Carlyle Wrench set is something I have been eying for awhile so if you draw my name I would pick them. Great videos. Thanks for all the content.
Jump packs our nice!! stay tuned for the drawing!!!
As a DIY weekend warrior, I use the tool exchange for things like Pickle Fork, Bearing Puller. The tool is free to use when picking up the part from the local store. Better than borrowing from a neighbor and less expensive than purchase and storage. Just an opinion. Thanks as always for providing your experience.
There nothing wrong with doing that tool exchange program,it works for lots of folks!!! thanks my friend for joining in!!
Keep up the good work. I like seeing the different tools. Helps give ideas on things I don't have. I just saw that Harbor Freight is having a big sale in August. The bit driver set will be at a low sale price. Good time for people to pick up. Just FYI. Keep up the good work, Jeff
Thanks for the heads up on the harbor freight sale!! stay tuned!!!!!
Excellent selection, Jeff!! Those pickle forks sound great!! A set of .5 sizes for lugs is also handy. When the lugs swell up, standard sockets won't fit unless tapped on.
Onother goid one!! there will be a part 2 and 3 on this subject,stay tuned!!!
IMO, since I've been wrenching for over 60 years, some of these are absolutely necessary, but others are just nice to have. All are good. picks.
Hi ron thanks for joining in and sharing your thoughts!!! more on this topic,stay tuned!!!
Hey Jeff, I haven't been commenting as much but I'm still here watching. I have most of that stuff, but I don't even have a tool box because I just have a small storage unit where I have to keep all my tools. I would like to buy one of those small five drawer carts from HF and keep it in my unit. Awesome stuff thou, thank you for the opportunity.
Hi bigc i know your a great supporter of the channel!! i understand how crazy life can be!! take care my good friend!!
Awesome Toolbox setup you have there Jeff. You’re so right you can’t have too many lights. I haven’t found one that works well for every situation. Who makes that light bar you show in this video?
Greenlee i think,ill have to double check!!
Wow, after 50+ years of amateur car repair I must be advanced…I have most of the tools you mentioned. But i never thought of a right angle drill or the 90 degree pliers. Both are great suggestions…. It is off to the tool store for me. (Such a burden 😊). Thanks.
Thanks for joining in and sharing what you have!! there will be a part 2 on this topic,stay tuned!!!
Very helpful video, I have just about everything but lack pullers, only have 2 3-claw types
Hi rob thanks for checking in,more coming on this!!
Congratulations on coming up on 7k!!!!!! Nice to see your channel grow and your work rewarded.
Hi barry thanks for the kind words!!!!
There is always that one tool you didn't know you needed until you absolutely NEED it to finish a job lol
Congrats Jeff on the channel growing. You'll be at 10k before you know it!
Yes there is always something we need,lol!! thanks my friend for supporting the channel!!
Very Good Video. I have most of those tools, so those were well-thought-out picks. I have to buy one of those cable clamp tools. I'm not too sure about the angle drill. For some reason, UA-cam keeps unsubscribing me; you should tell your viewers to check.
I dont know why you tube does that!! maybe because of privite setting,instead of public? it pees me off some of the crap you tube does!! they also erase comments sometimes!! well i know your subscribed,so dont worry about that part!! stay tuned and thanks for putting up with you tube,ill pass the word along!!
Those Carlyle wrenches look mighty sweet, but so does the icon. Decisions...decisions...
Its all about options,lol!! good luck my friend!!!
Great video Jeff, I think all bases are covered by this set. Only item I could think off is some sort of hand fluid pump, but that’s only because I am facing transmission fluid change soon 😊
oh im not done with this topic yet!!! stay tuned my friend,thanks!!
You also need..a bench vise, and hose pusher for popping it off the pipe, stethoscope to listen for ticking or knocking or rattles and where it's coming from..., temp gun (infrared gun)... thanks Jeff 👍
Oh boy your so rite!! this will have a part 2 maybe a part 3 on it,stay tuned ,thanks as always my friend!!
Always something I need. No matter how many tools I buy…I always need something! Thanks for the ideas!
Hi shane it never ends,lol!! stay tuned!!! thanks!!!
Another great video Jeff. While I've always made things work somehow, those flexible hose clamp pliers are definitely on my short list of future tool purchases.
Hi harry there super handy!!! thanks my friend!!!
If I had known then what I know now, I would have kept my stepdad’s tools; I believe all snap on in a large roll around snap on tool box. He was a mechanic all of his career, from the smallest car to 18 wheelers. He had wrenches the size of your torque wrench. I was a dumbass back then saying I wanted new. The box would have easily cleaned up, along with the tools. They were a little greasy, but that was the character.
Hi chris it happens to lots of us!! newer itsnt always better,especially in the tool world!! thanks my friend for sharing your thoughts!!!
Noco battery pack is the best thing I ever bought it's definitely one of my most used tools. Mines the 4250 I do believe the size bigger than what you showed but holy smokes I've never found anything it won't start. I don't work on vehicles unless I have to buy tractors and equipment all the time so this list isn't totally for me but it is crazy how many of those tools you listed that I have. Very nice list you came up with Mr jeff
Oh you got a bigger jump pack,wow!!! it must be a beast!!! im not done with this topic,hold on,thanks my friend!!
Great information Jeff. I'm graduating into the more advanced now, and this looks like a great starting point for my next purchases...
Hi my friend,i hope this helps you then!!! there some real handy tools here!!!
Great list of must have tools. I have a few and need a few more you listed. I didn't buy my first set of those automatic wire strippers until two years ago when I rewired my boat with Marine duplex tinned wire. WOW what a difference they make. I wish I had bought them long ago. I bought the Harbor Freight ones and they work great.
Hi brian those automatic strippers are sweet!!! more coming on this stay tuned!!!!
Great selection of tools. If working on a classic car, grab all the speciality tools for that application you can find. A lot of them aren’t being made anymore or almost impossible to find when you need them.(carb tools, axle pullers etc) Found this out from experience.
Good advice jannear!! thanks for joining in!!
Jeff's at it again doing what he loves giving tools away and good advice I will give 10 to 1 you are at 100k subs by Apr 2025 👍😎👍
Boy that would be something!! thanks my friend,as always!!!
My shallow and my deep sockets are impact and my mid depth are chrome. And right angle pliers would be a good addition yo my tool box. I could not do most jobs without my long 1/2 ratchet. Good video, tools for most jobs.
Hi john thanks for sharing your thoughts!! more coming on this topic!!
Your toolbox looks MASSIVE. I love it!
I’ve been looking at magnetic sockets for oil plug. Great video. Thanks
Hi rudy these gearwrench ones are nice!!
Take a gander!! Some solid entertainment and tools.
Hi nick more on this topic,thanks for joining in!!
Wow almost seven thousand that's cool. This was a very informative one for me.Thank you.I thought I had all the tools but now I found out.I need to go shopping LO.L
Hi my friend there more coming on this topic!! stay tuned ,thanks my friend!!!
7K subs just around the corner Jeff....congratulations.
Thanks mike,you tube is hard to get subscribers,you have to stay with it!! but i like doing it,so here i am,lol!!
As a weekend warrior myself, I thought I had all the basics. Looks like I got a ways to go. Thanks for another awesome video you’ll be at 10 K in no time.
There will be a few follow up videos on this,stay tuned!! thanks my friend!!
Jeff was that the combination SAE and Metric Pittsburgh tap and die set you showed. If so how do you like it?
Yes!! it works pretty good!!! its not the best set out,but its decent!!!
Great lineup, those will cover most things you run into, possibly later on a vise, inexpensive grinder, hand cleaner and penetrating oil thanks for all the hard work jeff! thanks for generous giveaways as well. Have a good one!
Hi dave this topic going to have a part 2, maybe 3,its a very popular topic!!! thanks my friend!!!
All great tools for sure I am missing about 1/2 of the list there like I need the fuel line disconnect kit but it's on my future list. One item I found I can't do any repairs without are pocket pry bars for taking apart electric connectors at least on GM and Mercedes, they have really bad connectors that after 100k miles don't want to come apart. Also break caliper tool to compress the pistons on break jobs, I started off using C-clamps but they are a pain to use.
I hear ya!! im not done with this series,i had lots of interest!!! stay tuned thanks!!!!
I would say that a torx set is necessary tool these days, especially if you own a European vehicle. But even the domestic makes use a lot of them and they're relatively cheap. Allen head sockets/wrench used to be a needed item, but I almost never use them any more. Have a set of SO 3/8" metric Allen socket set, can't even recall the last time I used those or regular metric allen keys. Been replaced by torx.
Hi my friend you got some good ones!! im not done with this series,stay tuned!!!!thanks!!
These summary videos are awesome. This is the type of content I’m looking for as a DIYer so I’m prepared for unexpected issues!
Glad you liked my friend!! hope it helped!!!
Jeff,
Excellent overview of what the next step in tool ownership for a weekend warrior needs to up their game in next level mechanical repairs! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Jeff
Not done with this video series yet,hold on!!! thanks for joining in!!!
Great info and collection of tools. Have to find a balance between cost and frequency of use. If it's something I might need once or twice a year, I see if my local parts store has it as a loner, or decide if it's worth buying. Also, is the specialty need tool cheaper than paying for a shop to do the work for me. Recent case, the dreaded hemi tic, broken exhaust manifold bolt. Was it cheaper to buy a bench top sander to get the exhaust manifold square again, or take the manifold to a machine shop and have them do it.....I now have a bench top sander. :)
Yea those can be factors,how much are you going to need or use the tool!! it changes also with how much more experence you have on fixing harder repairs,the more experence and confidence you have you start branching out into more specialty tools!!! thanks for joining in and sharing your take!!
Thanks Jeff! And congrats on 7K. Love watching this channel grow.
Thank you my friend,much appreciated!!!
All very good useful, & essential tools.....Thanks Jeff!
Im just getting warmed up,lol!! thanks don!!!
I have that same charger I have 2012 5.7 l hemi 4x4 and it had zero problem cranking my battery over to start it.
nice car travlite!!! thanks for joining in!!!!
Great video. I totally enjoyed it. I do need to get a set of mid length sockets, though. Have been thinking that for a year, I guess it's probably time.
Good investnent tiddums!!! stay tuned more on this topic!!!!
Appreciate the giveaways you are doing. The short explanations of why specific tools are useful also good.
Thanks glen!!!
I have 6 magnetic bowls but I still keep buying them they do come in handy. Thanks for the great advice.
Boy i hear ya!! thanks Ric for joining in!!
Thanks for this video Jeff! And you’re a generous man giving back!
Thank you hank,you guys are fantastic to talk and hang out with telling what we like and use for tools with one another!!!
Your the final boss of tool reviews so...I give up, I'll pull the trigger on mid-length sockets😟
There come a day youll thank me!!! those mid- length are sometimes the only thing that will work!!! thanks my friend!!!!
Congrats on the 7k subscribers! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Yoshaki!!
I don’t really know if need any tools until I know what is broke…. Yes , it is nice to have everything, but to have what you need is more important . This is a good group of tools that may be needed and I agree with you with all them , but a coozy cup holder and a radio are missing.
Hi marc this series is not over!!! i got lots more to show,stay tuned,thanks for joining in!!
Always enjoy your videos
What do u suggest icon or capri for the wrenches with flank drive?
Both good choices!!! icon great warranty!! but im still partial to my capries!!
I like your selections of tools. 🧰 I agree with you my friend. I love that jump stater pack and the extra long1/2 drive ratchet. 🇺🇸
Hi rick yes this is a great topic!! there will be a part 2,maybe a part 3 to this,stay tuned!! thanks for checking in!!
Glad you included the heat gun. For years, I was using a lighter for heat shrink and you can get a heat gun for less than $20. What was I doing that whole time?!
Thanks sam for joining in!! heat gun a handy tool!! there a part 2,maybe even part 3 on this topic,stay tuned!!
I bought those Pittsburgh screwdrivers for shits and diggles I actually like them a lot
i hear ya walter,i like them as well!! they can take a beating!!!!
Great video and super informative. I'm a full time heavy Equipment Mechanic And all these tools are a definite must at home and on the job!
Thanks Neil for sharing your background!!! i love hearing what you guys do and like!!
That was some great advice Jeff! Looking forward to the drawing on Sunday!
Hi keith were not done with this topic!! stay tuned,good luck in sundays drawing!!!!
Thank you for the recommendations. Finally building my own set of tools and picked up some from your list.
Glad i could help kimjong!! thanks!!
Have you tried the long pattern Carlyle wrenches that don't have the V jaws? I really like them, but haven't tried the V jaw ones.
I never tried the plain open end ones!! i might at some point!! thanks hawaiian!!! for joining in!!
Thanks Jeff, always good advice from a beautiful venue!
I always try to make it interesting,lol!! thanks my friend!!!
Great video!! Some very useful tools and like you said must haves!! Great video!!!
Hi blueboy there more coming,stay tuned on that topic!!! thanks!!
Thanks Jeff, great video. My son is in tech school, I'd love to surprise him with a new wrench set.
Good luck my friend stay tuned my friend!!
I have access to a lot of those, except the wheel savers and the hose clamp pliers may look into the clamp pliers, but I'm too old to worry about having fancy wheels on my truck or even a fancy truck.
Hi albert i hear ya about having fancy wheels!!! the hose clamp pliers are nifty!!! stay tuned my friend,thanks!!!
Can’t wait for Sunday!!! Love this channel
Hi my friend im always trying to get people somthing to get excited about!! stay tuned,thank you!!!
Ive keep putting off buying a right angle attachment and i keep running into situations it would be useful. I have a right angle impact but its a little bulky. Great video jeff
Right angle is very useful!!! sometimes nothing else will work!!! thanks for joining in my friend!!!
Great suggestions Jeff! Thanks as always my friend!
More to come on this topic!!! thanks lieser!!!
Awesome video Jeff as usual. Congratulations on the 7k
Thank you andrew!!
The 30" looks massive 👌🏿
Thanks my friend,stay tuned!!!!!
I like the looks of those pliers, one of these days I’ll pull the trigger. I do find many uses for the pickle fork/ball joint separators.
Thanks Paul for taking a gander!!!
Slowly but surly I add to my tool contents based on your videos. Saving for a jump pack.
Jump packs are a must!! i have 3 of them!!!! more coming on this topic chris!!! thanks!!
When i first seen those double box ratcheting wrenches they seemed to be a bit gimmicky but when i borrowed them from my coworker i knew i had to get a set. Got the icons on sale for like $175 i wanna say. Well worth it.
Yes chris those are nice!!! great for additional reach and leverage!!! thanks for joining in!!!
Great reviews based on facts and real world use. A great series would be a job specfic show down of tools. For example a panel clip tool showdown or a brake job show down. I am looking forward to more great content.
Good suggestion, ill rite it down!!! thanks my friend!!!!
The jump pack was one of the best purchases I ever made! The convenience and peace of mind it offers is excellent, but being able to plug a DC tire inflator makes it even better. Makes filling tires more convenient and it also gives me more use than only jumping dead batteries.😊
Thats a fantastic use for the jump pack my friend!!! stay tuned,thanks!!!
