I was ridiculed in 1997 for buying knipex tools , I’ve still got most of them and use them every day, the ones I no longer have, have been lost not broken. Bach’s adjustables are the best! I have got two of every size. I’ve also got a Halfords pro set of sockets and spanner’s ( lifetime warranty) never had to return a single one.
I was given a 15 inch Bacho adjustable about 45 years ago. It has served me on many pieces of steam machinery, road, rail and stationary, as well as many large parts of cars. I'd be lost without it.
Much respect given for telling Milwaukee to Fuck Off. To manty UA-camrs gets sponsored buy a brand and they bullshit people that there stuff is the best. I have a wide variety of tools and I buy what feels the best in my hand . 🍻
Fantastic video The one tool that I can depend on is the genuine vice grips, I can't afford snap on, I've draper, Halfords and plenty in-between but experience has taught me cheap grips are a waste of time As for the Milwaukee pr guys telling you what to say, sod that, calling a spade a spade suits me far better
All my life I always preferred to buy craftsman tool because there are fantastic, warrantied and the most important thing is if I broke something at the shop I worked at .I always new I could stop at the store on my way home and replace it. I never had to wait for the tool truck rapist to stop by whenever it was convenient for him. Fuck snap off tools.
Great video thanks 😊. My must have tool has to be my glasses 😂😂 I am a lot older than you , you will know exactly what I mean in several years if you get them in your tool box now you will know we're they are when the time comes. Loved the video all the best from Henry Central UK
Mucka thats an impressive colection. Have you ever tried Wera kraftform screwdrivers? Fantastic. Myself im a sucker for german brands, I have most of all the brands now, wera gedore ,elora, stahlwille sockets and spanners also hazet knipex and old skool Heyco 3/4 socket set I found in a tool dealers.
Hi mucker .. it is good to see a toolbox tour from a guy you respekt and know that things need to work not just look nice... i am a weekend warior in my own garage with my boys 6 and 8 year with our projekt 69 mustang, super major and super dexta.. Tools need to work like bacho and knipex but also you dont cry when you loose it...
Got old gedore half inch socket set,had it off greenshield stamps when i was 12 .kept dads loadmaster 700 goun for years with it never failed hoever long a scaff bar i used never part with it
Great video M'lod! Tool for me which is unmissable: super scraper gasket scraper Has got a carbide edge and works a treat on getting rid of gasket residu. And a pair of knipex parallel jaws and a bahco adjustable gets nearly everything undone at my job👌 Keep it up! Cheers, Mike
Brilliant video Kurt, Thanks. Me? 76 y/o now and started work on my 15th birthday as Appretice Mech. Been in engineering all my life until retired. When I started I would buy 1 spanner a week if I could and I was told to get the best I could afford. I was also told to NOT buy bright shiney tools, if matt black was available, that's better stuff. Why I Asked ??? People don't pinch the black ones because they think it's crap. I've got some Britool stuff that's seen well over 50 years of work. Also in the early 60s when I started there was still lots of Ex WD (MOD) stuff from WW2 available for pennies. I've got ex US Army Snap-On 3/8 drive sockets that are now 80 or more years old and all still good. Over the years, like you, I've bought what was best for the job and it paid dividends in the long run. A few years back I wanted some 3/8 drive impact sockets and I got some Bergen, cheap as chips and as good as stuff 4 or 5 times the price. Spanners, I always liked Britool and, another I would buy was Stahlwille, not cheap but well worth the money. Totally agree you don't need to sacrifice your arse, some of the less expensive stuff is just as good. One final thing for Youngsters just starting out to remember- THE MAN WHO LENDS TOOLS IS ALWAYS OUT !!!
A great comprehensive tool kit there melod. I must agree on not being a one brand man. I have Britool, Elora, King Dick, Knipex, Record, SnapOn, Sealey, Teng, Wurth and other named brand stuff. Much like power tools, I like a mix. Some of the stuff I have is unbranded or really old brands that have long since gone.
Good honest video and well used tools. I like the knipex and the Halfords lift time warranty can’t be beat. I have plenty of spanner’s but the best one are the extra long aviation spanner’s. Long straight spanner’s which put the max torque into nuts and bolts. Great for high torque bolts are suspensions. I bout the cheapest of Amazon and the quality is as good as you can get. Perfect fit and the have neaver rung a bolt.
Great video. I still have my 4 draw Eden toolbox I bought in 1969 from Motor Traders Palmerston North New Zealand I to have the 3/8 drive Britool socket set. Bought Stahwille ring open enders, imperial and whitworth. Still have them. My experience over 55 years you will lose more tools than you wear out.
Great video Kurt 👌 tool i couldn't do without is my 15inch adjustable was given it about 45 yrs ago by a guy who worked on power lines it has an insulated handle and no makers name anywhere and this spanner is still as tight fitting as it was back then and its had the obligatory extension pipe on the end of it 💪👍as to what tool you should have a look at is the never lost or looseable 10mm socket 🤔👌🤣
Like you say tools you use the most are the proper ones, I have a Milwaukee cheater set of stepsons, screw in handles compact, I use it far too much bloody handy!
Snap On Locking extensions. They have a quick disconnect like an air fitting, but for sockets. Don't loose sockets that way or have to wrestle with a socket stuck in a spark plug tube.
Hi bit late with this comment, have been busy watching lives 🙃 different tool box ( carpenter) my Stanly Yankee screwdriver was my pride & joy, overtaken by the cordless Family now, but I still have mine in semi retirement coming out now & again like a majestic shire horse 🤣dreaming of days gone by. All the best to everyone and the Dogs 🐕 👍🐝🌞
I've got about everything from Snap-on to the middle of Lidls in my box. You're spot on about the m18 batteries being wobbly feckin things, the Ingersolll rand 18v stuff is way better. Need to get yourself a hollow ratchet and socket set.
I will get on the knipex waggon when they make a version of the pliers wrench with tooth jaw option. I have the standard knipex in various sizes but don't like the curved jaw design. I reach over them for the channel loc 460 most times. Just personal preference.
I have been a mechanic for 57 years and still working, Started buying tools as an apprentice and still using them. Added a lot to them over the years. Have made a lot of tools to do specific jobs as well. I have to say the pair of Britool pry bars I bought early on are something I could not do without, they have lots of uses. Oldest tools I have are a very large stilson type pipe grips, an American make which date back to about 1920 which were my grandfather's and still get used..
One tool that I rate is the Original Irwin 11R vice grip all metal type, the reason being it just works. Now they do wear out but it take a bit of work to do that.
Ive just ordered a Bahco Adjustable after watching this. Think I saw you at weeting yesterday. I recognised your dog first before I realised it was you
Hi Mucker. Loved seeing the Brit-tool set. My cousin and I bought a full set of whitworth size many, many years ago. Indestructible. You’re spot on with reviews, and as you say you’re going to tell the truth, good or bad. 👍🏴🇺🇸
Agree wholeheartedly about Knipex, beats Channellock easily. I was wondering why you don't carry a speed handle or a palm ratchet in your tool bag. They're very handy if you dont have an impact or if they have dead batteries.
Your wrong in the sense of, return on investment. At half the price all my Craftsman tools turned those nuts and bolts, on and off, the same way, with the same warranty !
Knipex side cutters are a must, my Dad bought me a pair years ago and they are by far the best pair I own. I also have a really small pair of curved end knipex pliers that are very handy when you have bad access. Most of my tools are cheap junk or very old but you use what you have.
ah the knipex pliers wrench... I genuinely never leave the house without a set! I also love my unilite 1450s... apart from the fact that I left one stuck to a van at a job.
I'd forgotten about this comment... so about 3 months ago I left one of my unilites stuck to a van as I mentioned... a couple of weeks ago I bumped into the guy who's van it was and he gave me it back... it had done at least 300 miles in the pissing rain stuck to the side of a van before he found it, still worked perfectly!
Great stuff Kurt and Puppo, I think You have everything pretty well covered there, but a three quarter inch breaker bar, every workshop should have one, and its mainly cars I work on, Thank You👌👍🙏😎
Hi friend great video thank you but did not see any easy outs in your tool kit maybe I didn't see them or you forgot to put it in the tool box - boxes 😊. Please keep the great videos coming friend. From Scotland 😊🎉
I bought a Halfords set when I was 17, spanner’s,sockets, screwdrivers etc. I’m now 40!! And apart from a couple bits missing, and tracking over the box one day, there in my toolbox now on the digger. The screwdrivers are the most comfortable I’ve ever used
Very good video. Interesting to see how we all have some 'method to our madness' in organising our tools. Gave me some good ideas for my little workshop. Many thanks Mr Mucker!
I have a Britool 1 inch drive set that I have had for 50 years and not replaced any item, still good. A lot of Chinese shit coming into the UK now. Snap on stuff is way over priced. Don't see many of their tool vans these days. See that Kier Starmer's father was a tool maker ! . I also have a stiff British made sweeping broom, had it for 30 years ! only needed ten broom heads and two handles. Quality gear.
I bought a Halfords professional 1/4 drive socket set back when I left school at 16 and still use it 24 years later almost daily for mower/chainsaw repair/service work where the bigger 3/8 stuff is just that bit too big and clunky
As a professional nut twister, retired after 48 years , Snap On is my choice. Ergonomices matter. ✌️ Vasiline to premedicate before the SnapOn man comes to collect🤣
Well wish I had a Cornwell tool (in the us) guy when I was younger would have saved alot of money about half the cost compared to snap on butt evey snap on guy i had has been good tool guys not total a holes. I see the current snap on prices and iam happy mine are payed for😅 yup have kinpex too worked some to death too. Worked with a guy bought a snap on tool set in 1970 crome was gone along time ago still worked fine
As someone who started out 15yrs ago with a Halfords advanced sockets set (still the biggest part of my tool kit) I’m still finding and trying bits at the cheaper end of the scale but definitely finding the right tool and paying a bit more is worth it. Only just realised I have a pair of realy good pliers… didn’t notice they were snap on for about 2yrs😆🤦♂
Kurt, I was interested in getting one of the Unilite inspection lights like you have, ET’s finger in particular. Do you have a model number. There are two different models that look to be close. Do you have an opinion between the two models of Folding Inspection Lights? Thanks for the Videos and your honest reviews.
Buy both and save us all from confusion, I have a lot of torches because most problems occur in the dark when it is wet so be prepared and little goes wrong.
Hi mucker great vid. Love Halfords advanced n got some old snap on. When I started with cars n stock cars. Buy kamasa stuff n still going strong. Cheers smithy
I bought a set of imperial and metric RJ series Britool combination spanners and sockets to match when I was an apprentice agricultural engineer. I'am now 57 and still using them every day.
Can't beat a halfords socket set. I've had mine years and regularly abuse it with the impact gun and breaker bar and its still holding strong. US Pro do some good tools for the money. Cheap in budget but durable. I've had things like socket adapters, twist sockets for rounded bolts etc. very cheap, good strong item. Worth considering if you need a tool for a 'one off' job.
Excellent.. im going to have to put everything back in my boxes now 😂.. The tool that i found and now wouldn't be without is made by Stanley and its a locking shifter... sifter/mole grips style.. very handy for holding bolts round the other side when you cant reach 😊.. stay safe 🏴
Yup Yer Lardship, I've had my share of " Uri Geller Tools " in me time. I Once told the Charming Snap-On Rep. " I Can Only afford Snap-Out-Of-It Tools on What I'm paid !" He finally gave up hounding me 😂 A Good Tradesman Will get it done with what ya got !
One tool I hate to be without is my Leatherman. Lost one recently, bought a replacement that evening. Currently using (and have for the past 4 or so years) the Bond because it's good, affordable and because of the non-locking blades I can just keep it in my pocket without thinking about it. One tool that I think it's worth considering... difficult. Toss up between a bit ratchet set and the Snap-On LN46ACF slip joint needle nose. You seem to have everything else! The Bahco bit-ratchet set is very good and they're only about £20. I relatively recently upgraded to the Facom R1 Pico with the flex head, it is better but it's not 3-4 times better. The Facom set doesn't have the 7mm which I had to borrow from the retired Bahco set.
Enjoyed that Mucker, for me my favourite tool has to be my ballpein hammer or as it was issued to me 45 years ago in army quartermasters language , Hammer, Hand , 2lb , Ball & Pein. 👌
Before battery powered nut removers always had trouble finding a socket slide bar which wouldn't bend when putting an extension tube on it. Go to socket sets 45yr old Kamasa 3/4,3/8,1/4 Draper 1/2 rusty set Got to Richmond 3/8 set for worn nuts, quality. Wouldn't be without 13mm,17mm,19mm Halfords ratchet spanners no batteries required! Only thing missing on your toolbox is labels, always opening screwdriver draw when needing spanners in the drawer below, Great video! Sold me that knipex wrench thanks 😊
Wish I could recommend something to you but it looks like you already have every eventually covered! Nice to see what you are using day to day, a bit different to what I have in mine for work as a composite laminator. Enjoyed this vid.
Great walk around on your tool's . I have got some tool's from the 60's mainly hand tools. Mucker I always have a rachet screwdriver. Ideal to add bit on it and put lengthen bits on it . Great video as usual Mucker 🚜🔧👍
Unilite 925 torches will take a beating brilliant torches and a tool a couldn’t be with out since a bought it my ingersoll rand 119max air hammer fucken brilliant thing
I have a claw hammer that was a gift from a friend which is of a very limited production run due to a potential of legal action, it is a metal shaft hammer with a bend in the shaft allowing a reach over hit. Beautiful hammer and sentimental. As for what tool I would by, fckn all of it.
Bondhus Allen keys , the amount of force you can apply to them and still hold there shape and not snap, plus cheap as chips for the quality. i use a set of the folding ones daily on stainless cap screws and other workmates with cheap allen key just round off the ends . As for a suggestion for a tool for you i would suggest Facom does a 1/4" drive socket set in a case that fits in the palm of your hand and has a real clever wee ratchet for tight spaces.R.360NANO 1/4" Drive Socket Set
When your out in the field you revert back to about 12 old faithfuls which will give you the means to accomplish any task. Usually the oldest and ugliest. Cheers mate🇦🇺
Good walk about Mucker for your tool Box ,most of us that have been pissing about with mechanic work have multiple tool boxes or rollaways as we call them in the states I have some good tools I started with and then I also have some china use once and then shit can them ,I keep the good tools in my first rollaway I bought a hundred years ago ,why in the hell can't I keep a 10mm wrench or socket they fall into a black hole , a draw for electrical, and measuring stuff Torque wrenches ,drills and grinders ,very cool Mucker
I've had an old Swiss army knife in my tool box for years. It has been used as a hammer,screwdriver,( normally the crosshead)leaver, saw knife. In Fact everything it was designed to do I've used it for and more. All doors have to be locked,guards posted and full searches carried out if it goes missing.
Mag drill /rotabroach absolute must for putting holes in steel. I have a half inch drive ETC brand socket set that I got in 1973 or 4 cannot remember which exactly, made in Japan still going strong, split one socket soon after I got trying to undo a lorry wheel nut, I had the T bar on it with a putlock on that the shop that supplied the set replaced the split socket. I told them How it split and was willing to purchase a replacement but they said it should not have split even though I was abusing it so they replaced the socket free of charge.
I was ridiculed in 1997 for buying knipex tools , I’ve still got most of them and use them every day, the ones I no longer have, have been lost not broken.
Bach’s adjustables are the best! I have got two of every size.
I’ve also got a Halfords pro set of sockets and spanner’s ( lifetime warranty) never had to return a single one.
I was given a 15 inch Bacho adjustable about 45 years ago. It has served me on many pieces of steam machinery, road, rail and stationary, as well as many large parts of cars. I'd be lost without it.
Always remember to check your grub screw !
Bacho adjustables are the staple of all industries. 150mm is perfect for working on trains lol
Much respect given for telling Milwaukee to Fuck Off. To manty UA-camrs gets sponsored buy a brand and they bullshit people that there stuff is the best. I have a wide variety of tools and I buy what feels the best in my hand . 🍻
Fantastic video
The one tool that I can depend on is the genuine vice grips, I can't afford snap on, I've draper, Halfords and plenty in-between but experience has taught me cheap grips are a waste of time
As for the Milwaukee pr guys telling you what to say, sod that, calling a spade a spade suits me far better
All my life I always preferred to buy craftsman tool because there are fantastic, warrantied and the most important thing is if I broke something at the shop I worked at .I always new I could stop at the store on my way home and replace it. I never had to wait for the tool truck rapist to stop by whenever it was convenient for him. Fuck snap off tools.
Excellent content from someone who does ¬ just talking about how to do
Great video thanks 😊. My must have tool has to be my glasses 😂😂 I am a lot older than you , you will know exactly what I mean in several years if you get them in your tool box now you will know we're they are when the time comes. Loved the video all the best from Henry Central UK
Mucka thats an impressive colection. Have you ever tried Wera kraftform screwdrivers? Fantastic. Myself im a sucker for german brands, I have most of all the brands now, wera gedore ,elora, stahlwille sockets and spanners also hazet knipex and old skool Heyco 3/4 socket set I found in a tool dealers.
Yes I've got all those brands and love Wera stuff especially the Joker spanner's
@LordMuck yep I have the Wera zyklop socket sets also, love em! Cheers Mucka..
Hi mucker .. it is good to see a toolbox tour from a guy you respekt and know that things need to work not just look nice... i am a weekend warior in my own garage with my boys 6 and 8 year with our projekt 69 mustang, super major and super dexta..
Tools need to work like bacho and knipex but also you dont cry when you loose it...
Got old gedore half inch socket set,had it off greenshield stamps when i was 12 .kept dads loadmaster 700 goun for years with it never failed hoever long a scaff bar i used never part with it
Ah yes, one must always have a jar to hand for when the strap-on lorry arrives 😂
Surprised you didn't have a bucket full of 10mm sockets......well, half full, full would be impossible.
Your Question - "Tool that I cant do without". My answer - "PLIERS".
Great video M'lod!
Tool for me which is unmissable: super scraper gasket scraper
Has got a carbide edge and works a treat on getting rid of gasket residu.
And a pair of knipex parallel jaws and a bahco adjustable gets nearly everything undone at my job👌
Keep it up! Cheers, Mike

Love my signet spanners can't beat em
A great comprehensive tool kit there melod. I must agree on not being a one brand man. I have Britool, Elora, King Dick, Knipex, Record, SnapOn, Sealey, Teng, Wurth and other named brand stuff. Much like power tools, I like a mix. Some of the stuff I have is unbranded or really old brands that have long since gone.
A Bahco in every vehicle just in case. Not for you so much but I can't fault Ryobi tools, for my personal level of use. Got to agree about knipex.
I've got a ton of Ryobi at home. It's owned by the same people that own Milwaukee
Good honest video and well used tools. I like the knipex and the Halfords lift time warranty can’t be beat. I have plenty of spanner’s but the best one are the extra long aviation spanner’s. Long straight spanner’s which put the max torque into nuts and bolts. Great for high torque bolts are suspensions. I bout the cheapest of Amazon and the quality is as good as you can get. Perfect fit and the have neaver rung a bolt.
2 pairs of knipex grips, had mine 30 years and still like new
My two favourite tools are Class wedges. Bloody great thing for getting bearings off shafts.
Either you have 25 ten millimeter sockets or none, but you can never find one when you need one!
One tool I could never do without is ? My Stanley thermal mug . It'll keep my tea or coffee warm all day
Great video. I still have my 4 draw Eden toolbox I bought in 1969 from Motor Traders Palmerston North New Zealand
I to have the 3/8 drive Britool socket set. Bought Stahwille ring open enders, imperial and whitworth. Still have them.
My experience over 55 years you will lose more tools than you wear out.
I don't care about brands either. For example, i have a metabo grinder, milwaukee nut gun, dewalt drill and a matika in the bin lol
Good collection of tools great video thanks Curt
Great video Kurt 👌 tool i couldn't do without is my 15inch adjustable was given it about 45 yrs ago by a guy who worked on power lines it has an insulated handle and no makers name anywhere and this spanner is still as tight fitting as it was back then and its had the obligatory extension pipe on the end of it 💪👍as to what tool you should have a look at is the never lost or looseable 10mm socket 🤔👌🤣
That was most enjoyable 👍 MINT 👌
Bessy f lever clamps can’t be without them now
Like you say tools you use the most are the proper ones, I have a Milwaukee cheater set of stepsons, screw in handles compact, I use it far too much bloody handy!
Ah, the hammer drawer..... You can't beat that. 💪
My tool would be the impact gun really great thing
Snap On Locking extensions. They have a quick disconnect like an air fitting, but for sockets. Don't loose sockets that way or have to wrestle with a socket stuck in a spark plug tube.
Hi bit late with this comment, have been busy watching lives 🙃 different tool box ( carpenter) my Stanly Yankee screwdriver was my pride & joy, overtaken by the cordless Family now, but I still have mine in semi retirement coming out now & again like a majestic shire horse 🤣dreaming of days gone by. All the best to everyone and the Dogs 🐕 👍🐝🌞
One tool I found is great. blue point PBFT10 . Metal pry fabrication tool , . Check it out 👍
I've got about everything from Snap-on to the middle of Lidls in my box. You're spot on about the m18 batteries being wobbly feckin things, the Ingersolll rand 18v stuff is way better.
Need to get yourself a hollow ratchet and socket set.
I will get on the knipex waggon when they make a version of the pliers wrench with tooth jaw option. I have the standard knipex in various sizes but don't like the curved jaw design. I reach over them for the channel loc 460 most times. Just personal preference.
Tell them - they do actually listen !
8 inch bacho used one for 35 yrs at the steel works and never let me down marvelous tool looking a bit sad now but still does the job 👍
I have been a mechanic for 57 years and still working, Started buying tools as an apprentice and still using them. Added a lot to them over the years.

Mine are Irwin 😎👌🏼👌🏼
Snap on multi position ratchet so handy and can get it in most places and always get good bit of travel
The twist lock socket rails are wonderful. I have them in every box and every size. Mechanics Time Saver is the brand.
Ive just ordered a Bahco Adjustable after watching this. Think I saw you at weeting yesterday. I recognised your dog first before I realised it was you
Hi Mucker. Loved seeing the Brit-tool set. My cousin and I bought a full set of whitworth size many, many years ago. Indestructible. You’re spot on with reviews, and as you say you’re going to tell the truth, good or bad. 👍🏴🇺🇸
Bloooody hell mucka seeing those photos you'd put in, would love to have a video on your work history..be amazing to hear youve done a awful lot!! 🤞
Agree wholeheartedly about Knipex, beats Channellock easily. I was wondering why you don't carry a speed handle or a palm ratchet in your tool bag. They're very handy if you dont have an impact or if they have dead batteries.
Yes, I keep looking at palm ratchets 👍
Ya wrong !!!!!!! You’ve gotta have all Snap On ! It’s the way forward 👍
🤣🤣 You'd lose half of them !
Your wrong in the sense of, return on investment. At half the price all my Craftsman tools turned
those nuts and bolts, on and off, the same way, with the same warranty !
Knipex side cutters are a must, my Dad bought me a pair years ago and they are by far the best pair I own. I also have a really small pair of curved end knipex pliers that are very handy when you have bad access. Most of my tools are cheap junk or very old but you use what you have.
ah the knipex pliers wrench... I genuinely never leave the house without a set! I also love my unilite 1450s... apart from the fact that I left one stuck to a van at a job.
I'd forgotten about this comment... so about 3 months ago I left one of my unilites stuck to a van as I mentioned... a couple of weeks ago I bumped into the guy who's van it was and he gave me it back... it had done at least 300 miles in the pissing rain stuck to the side of a van before he found it, still worked perfectly!
Got to have the right tool for the job 😊😊trouble is remembering where they all are 😂😂❤❤
I don't like the way that toolbox is looking at me, cheers mucker
What a gift I have my dads ratchet exactly the same ❤
Great stuff Kurt and Puppo, I think You have everything pretty well covered there, but a three quarter inch breaker bar, every workshop should have one, and its mainly cars I work on, Thank You👌👍🙏😎
3/4 bars, sockets, ratchets etc in other yard 👍
Disappointed there was no easy start in any of the boxes! 😂😂
It's EVERYWHERE...
Can’t beat old school Britool 😊
Can't fault the knipex cobras or twin grip pliers saved much swearing in the workshop
My twin grips save me everyday
Very interesting Are you a farmer or are you an engineer or both? You seem to know a lot of farmers Bet you have a good story to tell?
I'm a storage facility loader for Tesco
Thanks Kurt excellent vid enjoyed that very much.... Take care sir...
Cheers Kev 👍
Bummed dry 😂
Hi friend great video thank you but did not see any easy outs in your tool kit maybe I didn't see them or you forgot to put it in the tool box - boxes 😊. Please keep the great videos coming friend. From Scotland 😊🎉
I have a Dormer set in my blue top box (not shown in vid) and have Irwin bolt removers to the right of my file draw
@@LordMuck it's a tool I could not do that out friend they are so hand to have people do not understand how handed they are
I bought a Halfords set when I was 17, spanner’s,sockets, screwdrivers etc. I’m now 40!! And apart from a couple bits missing, and tracking over the box one day, there in my toolbox now on the digger. The screwdrivers are the most comfortable I’ve ever used
Just the greatest 🙂♥️
Great video Mucker. Lot of good information & advice. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼👍🏼
Very good video. Interesting to see how we all have some 'method to our madness' in organising our tools. Gave me some good ideas for my little workshop. Many thanks Mr Mucker!
I have a Britool 1 inch drive set that I have had for 50 years and not replaced any item, still good. A lot of Chinese shit coming into the UK now. Snap on stuff is way over priced. Don't see many of their tool vans these days. See that Kier Starmer's father was a tool maker ! . I also have a stiff British made sweeping broom, had it for 30 years ! only needed ten broom heads and two handles. Quality gear.
Mini 4" Bahco adjustable. Pocket size and goes upto 13mm. Very handy.
I bought a Halfords professional 1/4 drive socket set back when I left school at 16 and still use it 24 years later almost daily for mower/chainsaw repair/service work where the bigger 3/8 stuff is just that bit too big and clunky
As a professional nut twister, retired after 48 years , Snap On is my choice. Ergonomices matter. ✌️
Vasiline to premedicate before the SnapOn man comes to collect🤣
Their newer stuff is second-rate compared to their older stuff. There's a lot more choice these days.
Well wish I had a Cornwell tool (in the us) guy when I was younger would have saved alot of money about half the cost compared to snap on butt evey snap on guy i had has been good tool guys not total a holes.
I see the current snap on prices and iam happy mine are payed for😅 yup have kinpex too worked some to death too. Worked with a guy bought a snap on tool set in 1970 crome was gone along time ago still worked fine
One of my oldest (38years +) Ingersol Rand air chisel / hammer is one tool I would be lost without , so handy for so many jobs.
Very enjoyable video and good advice. Cheap isn’t cheerful
I love the milwaukee stuff .Recently changed from makita ,m18s are seriously good tools
As someone who started out 15yrs ago with a Halfords advanced sockets set (still the biggest part of my tool kit) I’m still finding and trying bits at the cheaper end of the scale but definitely finding the right tool and paying a bit more is worth it. Only just realised I have a pair of realy good pliers… didn’t notice they were snap on for about 2yrs😆🤦♂
Kurt, I was interested in getting one of the Unilite inspection lights like you have, ET’s finger in particular. Do you have a model number. There are two different models that look to be close. Do you have an opinion between the two models of Folding Inspection Lights? Thanks for the Videos and your honest reviews.
I have the IL925R and also the smaller one. Both are excellent 👌🏼
Can you get the discount code to work for the US site or just the UK site? 25% off is a great deal. Thanks
I assume so, put it in and try it
Buy both and save us all from confusion, I have a lot of torches because most problems occur in the dark when it is wet so be prepared and little goes wrong.
@@LordMuckdiscount code will not work on us site. Cannot ship to us from uk site.
Hi mucker great vid. Love Halfords advanced n got some old snap on. When I started with cars n stock cars. Buy kamasa stuff n still going strong. Cheers smithy
the tool that changed my life .... adjustable / locking crowbar or pry-bar
I bought a set of imperial and metric RJ series Britool combination spanners and sockets to match when I was an apprentice agricultural engineer. I'am now 57 and still using them every day.
Can't beat a halfords socket set. I've had mine years and regularly abuse it with the impact gun and breaker bar and its still holding strong.
US Pro do some good tools for the money. Cheap in budget but durable. I've had things like socket adapters, twist sockets for rounded bolts etc. very cheap, good strong item. Worth considering if you need a tool for a 'one off' job.
Great collection of tools Lord muck ! Great video ! Sledgehammer is my favourite ?
Excellent.. im going to have to put everything back in my boxes now 😂.. The tool that i found and now wouldn't be without is made by Stanley and its a locking shifter... sifter/mole grips style.. very handy for holding bolts round the other side when you cant reach 😊.. stay safe 🏴
Cracking video 👍 my precision adjustment tools take up at least two draws plus the ones in the field kit 😂😂😂
Yup Yer Lardship, I've had my share of " Uri Geller Tools " in me time. I Once told the Charming Snap-On Rep. " I Can Only afford Snap-Out-Of-It Tools on What I'm paid !" He finally gave up hounding me 😂
A Good Tradesman Will get it done with what ya got !
One tool I hate to be without is my Leatherman. Lost one recently, bought a replacement that evening. Currently using (and have for the past 4 or so years) the Bond because it's good, affordable and because of the non-locking blades I can just keep it in my pocket without thinking about it.
One tool that I think it's worth considering... difficult. Toss up between a bit ratchet set and the Snap-On LN46ACF slip joint needle nose. You seem to have everything else!
The Bahco bit-ratchet set is very good and they're only about £20. I relatively recently upgraded to the Facom R1 Pico with the flex head, it is better but it's not 3-4 times better. The Facom set doesn't have the 7mm which I had to borrow from the retired Bahco set.
Don't know how I managed without my cordless grinder 🔧⚓🤠 JB
Lisle 55000 soldering clamp…honestly it makes soldering anything anywhere a pleasure!
Was a special order in the uk but well worth the money 👍
Super video LM. Even though I don't mind making the click click sound myself, a good torque wrench comes in handy sometimes.
Enjoyed that Mucker, for me my favourite tool has to be my ballpein hammer or as it was issued to me 45 years ago in army quartermasters language , Hammer, Hand , 2lb , Ball & Pein. 👌
Before battery powered nut removers always had trouble finding a socket slide bar which wouldn't bend when putting an extension tube on it.
Go to socket sets 45yr old Kamasa 3/4,3/8,1/4
Draper 1/2 rusty set
Got to Richmond 3/8 set for worn nuts, quality.
Wouldn't be without 13mm,17mm,19mm Halfords ratchet spanners no batteries required!
Only thing missing on your toolbox is labels, always opening screwdriver draw when needing spanners in the drawer below,
Great video! Sold me that knipex wrench thanks 😊
Lang make hose clamp pliers that self lock and adjust for pinching off hoses I believe they make them for snap on Mac ect there awesome
Wish I could recommend something to you but it looks like you already have every eventually covered! Nice to see what you are using day to day, a bit different to what I have in mine for work as a composite laminator. Enjoyed this vid.
Great walk around on your tool's . I have got some tool's from the 60's mainly hand tools. Mucker I always have a rachet screwdriver. Ideal to add bit on it and put lengthen bits on it . Great video as usual Mucker 🚜🔧👍
Adjustable wrench here in the Netherlands we call it Bahco after the brand name.
Unilite 925 torches will take a beating brilliant torches and a tool a couldn’t be with out since a bought it my ingersoll rand 119max air hammer fucken brilliant thing
I have a claw hammer that was a gift from a friend which is of a very limited production run due to a potential of legal action, it is a metal shaft hammer with a bend in the shaft allowing a reach over hit. Beautiful hammer and sentimental.
As for what tool I would by, fckn all of it.
Bondhus Allen keys , the amount of force you can apply to them and still hold there shape and not snap, plus cheap as chips for the quality. i use a set of the folding ones daily on stainless cap screws and other workmates with cheap allen key just round off the ends . As for a suggestion for a tool for you i would suggest Facom does a 1/4" drive socket set in a case that fits in the palm of your hand and has a real clever wee ratchet for tight spaces.R.360NANO 1/4" Drive Socket Set
When your out in the field you revert back to about 12 old faithfuls which will give you the means to accomplish any task. Usually the oldest and ugliest. Cheers mate🇦🇺
Good walk about Mucker for your tool Box ,most of us that have been pissing about with mechanic work have multiple tool boxes or rollaways as we call them in the states I have some good tools I started with and then I also have some china use once and then shit can them ,I keep the good tools in my first rollaway I bought a hundred years ago ,why in the hell can't I keep a 10mm wrench or socket they fall into a black hole , a draw for electrical, and measuring stuff Torque wrenches ,drills and grinders ,very cool Mucker
I've had an old Swiss army knife in my tool box for years. It has been used as a hammer,screwdriver,( normally the crosshead)leaver, saw knife. In Fact everything it was designed to do I've used it for and more. All doors have to be locked,guards posted and full searches carried out if it goes missing.
My impact driver makes my job quicker and easier with the amount of under trays and torx screws I have to undo
I love my Halfords kits got a few now and can't beat the guaranteed to replace it if it breaks
I run the most Chinese junk every made still gets the jobs done 👍
Mag drill /rotabroach absolute must for putting holes in steel. I have a half inch drive ETC brand socket set that I got in 1973 or 4 cannot remember which exactly, made in Japan still going strong, split one socket soon after I got trying to undo a lorry wheel nut, I had the T bar on it with a putlock on that the shop that supplied the set replaced the split socket. I told them How it split and was willing to purchase a replacement but they said it should not have split even though I was abusing it so they replaced the socket free of charge.
