    Wow dude! Thanks for being so generous and sharing your collection! I’m excited to get a garage so I can start collection more tool and organize them. All my tools are in tool bags and boxes in my truck.
    I’m 43 and just started learning small engine repair. I absolutely love it!

    You don’t have to defend your decision to buy good tools. That’s what you do for a living so why not purchase good tools if u can afford it. Having the right tool for the job is time saving which saves you money!!!

    No need to apologize! Not a darn thing wrong with a man that likes thecbest. I was blessed in my life that I was blessed that I could afford to buy snap on tools. They really are the best hand tools out there. My humble opinion. I'd say 90 to 95 percent of my tools are snap on. Like you I tell people to buy the best you can afford. I feel the tool snobs arebte ones that can afford snap on and then the hate comes. Well enjoyed the vid. Take care and be safe!

    I remember when the tool trucks only had those special tools. We had two trucks Snap-on and Mac that was it. I bought stuff I couldn’t find elsewhere from truck. Today you can go online and find stuff that’s just rebranded much cheaper. Some will buy of the truck because of warranty and they have a relationship with the truck dealer. I think it’s best for the young tech to start with more affordable tools and then as the years pass do as they see fit. It’s your money and your Choice and I see many of the techs doing videos doing the right thing when trying to help the new techs. Thanks for sharing.

    Well, to say your colllection is comprehensive is a bit of an understatement lol. But looks like it's all necessary. I had to use my tap and die set last week to get a seized bolt out of the underside of my Toro lawn mower aluminum deck. That process is really a bit of an art form - needs a lot of finesse. I did OK at first, but couldn't loosen the bolt and got carried away with my drilling. I should have walked away from it for a day to let it soak and loose some of my intensity, but I wanted it done "right now". So, I'm going to have to utilize another type of fastener. Not sure how the result will be. Lesson learned. Great collection, I enjoyed your vid.

    I like the paper manuals as well. There are some pit falls of paper manuals. One you can’t zoom in to read stuff which I think is the biggest plus and searching is usually easier on a computer. Pit falls fighting with getting computer to work right crashes all the good stuff you know like loss of internet or power manuals aren’t effected by that. I am older maybe that’s why I like the print manuals.

    • @kbssmallenginerepair2615
      @kbssmallenginerepair2615  3 роки тому +2

      I like Matco and have a lot of their tools. If you don't have a shop and don't have a tool truck come by I would personally research a tool you see from them and purchase it elsewhere for cheaper. Most of their tools are rebrands and you can find it cheaper elsewhere. That being said the convenience of a tool truck coming by the shop, lifetime warranty, supporting the local business man, etc etc is valuable, so if that is the case buying off the truck is perfectly acceptable. Just my (sometimes unpopular) opinion.

      @@kbssmallenginerepair2615 I'm strictly shade tree. But I've wondered if mechanics that buy off the truck get any sort of discount. As much as I would love a box full of Snap-on, it would be really impractical for me. Craftsman has always been a decent "go-to" for me. But, they're gone now and I've been burned too many times by Stanley and the stuff from the local discount tool store. That stuff is way too inexpensive for me to be able to afford it. Have you ever thought of creating a video on different tool sources for the different types of workers? Your video above would just about cover the full-fledged mechanic, shade trees might be in the middle, then the Stanley workers might be on the entry level. Or you might have other ideas...

    • @kbssmallenginerepair2615
      @kbssmallenginerepair2615  3 роки тому

      Great question Jeff. Buying off the truck (vs. snapon.com etc.) does have its perks. I rarely pay retail price on anything. Each dealer has the ability to run promos and give discounts etc.
      Everybody has a personal preference on tools. I know auto mechanics who use Harbor Freight tools, and I know DIY'ers who use Snap-on. It all comes down to your preference and what you can afford. I say, buy the best tool you can afford, for the job. If you purchase the cheapest option, but spend a lot of time driving back and forth to the store either exchanging it under warranty, or having to purchase a new one, are you really saving money? There are several great options out there that are not tool truck brands. Gearwrench, Sunex, SK tools, just to name a few. Some of those you can find on amazon or other online retailers. Most also come with a lifetime warranty and are really great quality tools for much cheaper. You can find great deals on ebay for brand new tools, or even lightly used tools at great discounts. I would also recommend looking at Jersey Discount Tool Company. They have great quality tools at killer prices. Follow them on facebook for promos, or they have an app (jdtco)

    I have had great tools made by companies in USA and i have had bad tools. Many time the same tool fit great and then bought same tool again that turned out not be worth the metal it was made with. Same with chines or japanese tools. If quality control is not checking every batch, bad tools can make it to market. This is why a good warranty is a requirement for peace of mind.
    Good tools in the hands of an experienced mechanic makes money.
    Experience can only take you so far without good tools. Tools are with the investment.
