Thank you Patrick. Good job. Boom for cables. Frame on back. High above lid. Add wall mount to frame to be able to hold your 75 inch flat screen. Have a blessed and safe week.
Black friday is coming up, and the prices of televisions are coming down! HAHA! Maybe when I become a youtube celebrity like Eric O, or Keith. Then I'll buy myself the 75" for the cart haha!
Love the cart PJ and the shirt!!! Way more organized than my cart. I also want a boom but I want one that can be collapsed to roll the cart under a car on a hoist.
ThePracticalMechanic that’s a valid point, about the boom!
After the Holidays, I’m going to try to get this cart finished.
Love the usb tool, never seen it before. Looking forward to the final setup 👍
It's a pretty cool tool. I know a lot of people aren't diagnosing USB failures much. But this tool can come in handy. Heck, I may actually try to show it in a video.
I just put together a diag cart. Got good ideas from Cody & Mario. Went with the series 2, 5 drawer US General. I was undecided between a scope boom or bnc plate like Mario had. I ended up getting bnc extensions and running them through the screw driver holes & using magnetic hooks on the side of the cart for the leads. I was able to fit a 27” monitor on the inside of the lid.
Thank you for sharing your videos!
I filmed that video, and then work fell off completely! I haven't made any improvements to the cart yet because work has been a little slow, and money got a little tight. Hopefully within the next month I get back to it!!
Thank u so much for telling us about the launch deal,mine is coming today👍have a good Thanksgiving
george bonney90 sweet! Which one did you get?
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics i got the X-431 V, its the tablet,thx again man
george bonney90 let me know how you like it!
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics sure i will ive been wanting the diagun4 for awhile now i guess this is the same software just on a tablet
george bonney90 it’s funny, because the thing I like most about the diagun is the small size.
The thing i dislike most about the diagun is the small size.
I’d like the next size up.
You MIGHT be able to graph more than 2 Pids on the screen. The diagun can only do 2.
Mount your monitor on two vertical draw slides on the back of your box. Slide up to use, down to protect.
Thats a good idea. But truth be told. I'm not much of a fabricator lol. I wonder how hard it would be to do this?
Thanks for the shout, PJ👍👍
It's the least that I could do, man!
I absolutely love the u-activate too. It’s just an awesome tool. I say boom it.
I think the boom is a clear winner! Now I just need to figure out how to mount the monitor! Yes, that uactivate is a great tool to have around!
Very nice indeed. Rather than buying the front probe kits, what I like to do is get the actual connector, male or female, pull it apart and remove the pins. Then I solder the ends of the wire so they r nice to alligator clip to. Your methods r much nicer though.
I have done that in the past, too.
It’s hard to get the male micro 50 terminals though. I do have a handful of the female micro 50s
Thanks Bill!
I go back and forth between boom and front of the box .. both Mario and Cody I think have the best examples of each. I do know I want my monitor mounted on the lid instead of outside just makes things more compact when moving around the shop and easier to lock up. Love the box man can’t wait to see part 2
I keep going back and forth myself, which is why I wanted to hear some pros and cons in hopes that someone would persuade me one way or another! Thanks for watching!
I’m leaning towards the boom just for the fact it keeps stuff out of the way and saves some room
Or like Cody said boom it baby haha
Haha! He has be cracking up when I read that!
Hey I had a quick question about the diagun IV. My dealer is telling me they are not longer servicing /doing updates for that tool. Not sure if you know or not but it kinda worried me as I’m bout to buy one
Awesome set up. Love the suggestions and the setup. Keep up the good videos. You have me hooked on UA-cam diagnostics!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Nice set up PJ. Looking forward to part 2. I'm for the boom for numerous reasons. ✌
Thanks! I linked your video to mine! Hopefully you get some views! lol
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics Thanks bro I appreciate that !
Great set up PJ! Can't wait to see full outcome.
A quick Note about Steckler's Class is the hands on part!!
Yes! I forgot to mention that it is the hands on class!
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics It's going to be great for those that can attend. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable on this topic. Keep up the great work PJ!
Miguel P thanks man! I took Brandon’s class at vision last year, and it was game changing for me.
I’m sure it will be the same for everyone that attends, especially with it being hands on.
Nice tour, i am in the same situation on my diagnostic cart to, you can get a monitor boom on Amazon btw
I seen a couple of the monitor booms on amazon that I am looking into. I think that I am going to finish up the cart after xmas.
Very nice set up Pat!!! I’m jealous of how clean everything stays.. My shop is made from wood and EVERYTHING gets dusty! 😩 Hey man keep up the good work and we’ll be waiting for part two! Btw I think the boom would be better ... I’d rather walk underneath my leads than step over them. Plus having them hang up is a great idea and saves space!
I really liked how Mario has his leads going through the front of his cart. But after talking to him, he mentioned that he tripped on them once and that's what had me start thinking that a boom may be a little better for me.
Boom Boom..ShakaBoomIt.! Sorry, couldn't help myself on that PJ lol I am amazed you had 3 dollars left too...must tell us your secret. 🤣🤣 Cart look great bro..look forward to part deux.! The cart saga continues..."Will he monitor his lid.? If so...HOW.? stay tune to find out.!"
Cheers Bro
haha! This had my cracking up, but I made a big mistake! Now my wife wants to know where I got that $3 from, too! And wants to know why I'm hiding it from her! haha J/K
I really like that Snappy Roll cart...she is pretty!
Great setup Pat, sorry I am late to watching this video man...I'm trying to get caught up on videos and I'm getting there slowly.
This is a very nice setup! Looking forward to seeing your final on this!
You have quite the collection in that cart...very good stuff!
The diagnostic cart seems to be the next generation and the way of the future.
I'm definitely going to invest in the boom if I ever part ways with some $$$ to building one of these down the road! I get so tired of rolling up my leads🙄...wastes SOOOOOO MUCH TIME.
Anyways, I am off to another great VDD video...thanks for everything you do for us Pat...take care man!
Looks great looking forward to seeing part 2
Im going to try to get back to upgrading the cart here soon! Work died off almost instantly, and all of my extra spend money is gone for now haha
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics i no the feeling
Already signed up and definitely going to that class! Lol. Looking forward to it!
I enjoyed this! I liked that USB tool. I don't need it quite yet, but I can see that being needed in the future. ..
The monitor, I think should me kept in the top for extra protection. Idk
I agree with the boom vs front ports on the cart. It's not just you tripping over them, it's the other techs. Also when working on vehicles, it helps keep them safe from moving parts or better reach, like those tall trucks.
That's a valid point as far as protecting the monitor. An even bigger issue for me is that I store the cart under a wall cabinet, and I don't have a lot of extra height about the cart for the monitor, but I'd be willing to move the cabinet if needed. But I'm pretty certain that I am going with a boom arm for the leads after everyone's suggestion.
I'm glad you'll be at the training in Maryland! I am thinking about heading down there myself!
Awesome set-up PJ, couple things in there I added to my list.
I think boom arm might be the better bet, for what its it's worth.
It's worth a lot! You're extremely organized with your diag tools. So if anyone would know how to organize them, it would be you.
Whatever you do build your own boom arm. I bought the Pico arm and it’s wobbly at best. Too much slack in the joints. For the price they ask for that thing it should be solid.
Leed connectors on the side AND the boom
Now that might be a great idea! Let me think about the logistics for this one for a while!
Awesome tour!! There's always room for a HF tool. 😂
haha. Harbor Freight has some hidden gems in my opinion! lol.
Nice cart,I would go with the boom and screen on the lid because of the configuration of the tool cart,
Thanks, David! I'm 99% sure that I am going with the boom. I'm still not sure about the monitor, though.
Boom it baby!! 😂😂
Nice setup bro looking forward to seeing what you come up with on e setup
I think that is the route I'm leaning. And I might grab those pomona scope lead hangers. I'm still not sure what to do with the monitor though.
Nice setup, only thing missing is a Phil’s probe.
Yes! I need a couple! They look nice
Nice vid man I wanna get the uscope master kit. Heard good things about it. Haven’t got much experience with scopes yet I figured it would be a good starter
Yes. I don't have the master kit. But I do have a uscope! I use it all of the time for the majority of my basic voltage checks.
Pj do you know a lot about hybrid vehicles? If so can you put a video together on how to diagnose them. Like how the starting system works and charging system works
I know a lot about them, but they're a pretty reliable vehicle so it isn't often that I see the fail. But I'll try to come up with a way to make a video explaining normal operation of one.
Bravo
Thank you!
if it were mine i'd do a boom. know an electrician? have them bend up a piece of 1" conduit. then i would do a frame so the monitor sits high enough you can have the lid open and still see it. i really hope your workplace is either paying real good or has a tool program. most of that is what i'd call a "shop tool". i know i rather had my own cuz someones always messing the shop ones up but its unrealistic for a shop to not supply them.
also a thought have it so your scope and laptop is hooked up ready to go. may have to drill and gromet the backside for the wiring to go through. the more times you hook and unhook those connections the less they will last.
That's a valid point about using those connections constantly. The autel and the picoscope is the shops tools. One of the few perks about being a foreman is the ability to keep them nearby. The snap on verus and the launch, and everything else in the box is mine.
Brian Good did a video of his cart and he used conduit that he bent. I am really leaning towards the boom being built that way.
❤️
One thing for sure, I totally agree that the Diagun 4 is a go to scan tool. Would you recommend a Verus Pro if I could find one used? If Snap On isn't going to support the tool in the near future (at least that's what the guy in training last week was saying) I'm just wondering if it is still a good investment.
I also heard that next year is the last update they’re doing for it.
I’ll be honest. I wouldn’t buy one right now unless it was a smoking deal. Right off the bat, it will most likely need a battery. They’re $310 and nobody rebuilds them or sells a knock off, i looked.
I love have my verus pro. But If i were buying one today, I’d spend a couple more dollars and get the verus edge.
Thanks for the advice I didn't want to make the wrong move and regret it later. 👍
Definitely like the setup and giving me some good ideas for myself! For myself, I would put the screen on the inside of the lid, the cart would be more compact and screen would be protected when not in use from dirt, debris, flying wrenches, etc......have you looked into the snapon hook accessory panel that bolts to the side of the cart? It would definitely free up some space! What do you use for a power supply for reflashes and testing? I use the 100amp powermax converter, awesome compact box, provides constant power with the flip of a switch.
I haven't looked into the snap on panel. But I will now! As far as the battery maintainer that I use. I use a GR8 that is a required tool for the dealership. I don't own my own, yet. lol
Bowie like the knife.. but awsome maybe ill come up from VA
hahaha! I had no idea how it was properly pronounced lol
“Boo-we” haha let me know if your interested!
Did you end up doing a part 2 to this? I couldn’t find it? Loving your videos by the way.
No! I wish! Covid hit and money got tight. Then with a snap of a finger we got so busy at work that I haven’t found time! Hopefully this winter I get back to building it the way I want it to be! Let’s hope! Thanks for watching Dan!
Nice set up 👍🏻 I need to upgrade my laptop as well so what’s better to run these days window 7 or windows 10 ?
Hey Burt, I'm probably not the one best suited to answer this since, for the most part I am sheltered in a dealership. But from what I have heard, a lot of manufacturers are heading towards windows 10. So that the route I'd probably go. But if you need more info, I can have a friend or two pop over and answer any questions that you may have.
When is the give away for the diagnostic box and it's contents?
Hopefully, really soon! When I get to about 2 million subscribers and I no longer need them, I’ll gladly do a giveaway 😆
Do you think you can show more videos of the basics of the autel scope when you get it back? Also do you think it’s a good beginner scope?
Absolutely! I love using it, so it will be in future videos.
As far as it being user friendly? It isn’t as user friendly as a pico, but there isn’t a huge learning curve, either.
Thank you! Love the videos man keep them coming!
As a DIYer and a teacher who has been dusting off his old tools and getting back to working on my own vehicles, I'm curious as to why you have so many scan tools? Thought you'd be using toyota tech stream mostly. Also do you have a separate cart for wrenches and such?
Haha yeah! I have a separate larger tool box for my hand tools.
I just use this box to hold my diagnostic equipment. As to answer the question as to why so many scan tools? Well, not every scan tool does everything that I need it to. So they each fill in gaps. And although 90% of the time I use a techstream. I still work on other makes and models.
👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi PJ, is the link you put up for the x431 V scan tool from an authorized dealer? I would like to buy one, but don't want any issues with registration if it is a knock off. Thanks for the videos!
Billy Esposito it’s NOT from launch USA. Launch USA doesn’t make the tools listed, I don’t believe.
If you want a Launch USA, don’t use those links. Those links are for the company that sent me my diagun, from China

Thanks for watching!
