Good to See someone else Using Halfords / Us pro stuff - I must be one of very few people that have never bought A snap on tool - or have any tool debt - managed really wel with Halfords stuff
Halfords tools come with a lifetime warranty so it makes it very easy for us to just call in and say I need a new one of this that and these and they just hand them straight over without asking any questions. The only thing expensive I buy are the Milwaukee tools but I couldn't use any cheaper brands as they just don't compare on quality or torque for opening bolts
My garage AKA as my workshop is like Jimmys van , I too use Halfords tools & Britool / Gedore / some Blue point tools & many other decent makes inc’ Milwaukee too ! It’s nice when you have a trade card for Halfords I’m sure Jimmy may have one but you get about 30% of tools , even my tool chests are all Halfords as well , they are pretty decent & like you No Snap-On at my gaffe too expensive.
Great video, I run a mobile horticultural engineering service, very similar set up. Haven't wired up an inverter yet but sounds better than a generator. 😉 thanks for the tour. I'll be posting a video of our set up soon. 👍
We do now take extra measures because last year one of our fans was stolen with a key coding equipment device and our van was found 6 weeks later in London completely stripped. To top it off insurance company told us it was void because we left our tools overnight in the van.
@@ORileysAutos I know what it’s like ... my van was robbed... never saw it again ..... fascinating how much equipment you’ve got , but it just tempts scrotes ! Take care
Great video. If you have a chance you should stick air compressor and airbag jack, or just reservoir bottle linked with 12v compressor. It will make the job a lot easier.
@@ORileysAutos 50l bottle should be enough for the airbag jack if constantly supplied by electric compressor. I made mine from an old gas bottle. They're designed to handle much higher pressure then you need.
Lovely setup I really like the rear lights inside idea that defo makes more sense. Do u have to meet certain weight limit restrictions? Also how is fuel consumption with all that weight ?
@@ORileysAutos jeeney mac that's really good mpg its alot lighter on fuel then my passenger wagon which is a 1.8 petrol mazda 5 which is a mule on oil an petrol haha. cheers for the reply good work.
Ok ton of tool but wheres ur wheel bearing press machine ( that press u have ll not work for a siezed bearing i busted the rod threads many times so i only use my hydraulic,an air compressor and a welder
Very impressive. Well organized. I love your van set up. Greetings from Austin Texas.

Nice setup. Great thought process going on here! Love it!

Couldn't live without my inverter. It was the first priority on my list 😃
I was half expecting a tire machine to be in there somewhere😳
Great video mate, love the content. Coming from a fellow mechanic 👌👍
Thank you
What a setup!. Hope you’ve got that locked away on a evening !👍

Not sure I'd have room to fit the tank anywhere

@@ORileysAutos get Milwaukee on handy out
Nicely lade out mate, gives me a good idea as I'm just starting out by myself, not quite to that standard yet but getting there. Good luck!
I started with a Fiesta car derived van back in 2011 so we all start somewhere 👍🏻
very cool, your van is better than mine 👍👍
Thanks 👍
proper setup 👍👍🔥🔥🚗🚗

Also how is fuel consumption with all that weight ?
Weight limit is 3500kg unless you go to 7.5ton trucks.
Mpg can range from 26-40mpg depending how careful you drive it

Beautiful van
Thank you
Would you stick with the crafter or do you recommend a better van
Great video! it made me smile to see some of the Halfords and US Pro stuff that I own :) do you use chrome sockets with 3/8" impact wrench?
Halfords advanced tools are convenient to buy and a lifetime warranty so nothing to worry about
Exellent set up
Thank you
Very nice 👍🏽
How do you rate the milwaukee ompact wrench😊
Nice setup
Thank you for your comments
very nice
Thank you
Really nice
Thank you
What is your favourite tool?
Ok ton of tool but wheres ur wheel bearing press machine ( that press u have ll not work for a siezed bearing i busted the rod threads many times so i only use my hydraulic,an air compressor and a welder
nice
As daft it sounds tho I find myself slowing down on jobs and glancing back at my van to
Make sure no ones robbing me while I’m under a car ha ha
It's happened to us working under a car to get back out and our diagnostic machine and sat nav was taken from the van. £2500 gone in 30 seconds
Impressive 👍🏻
Thanks
That's a lot of gear!!
Yet still not enough for what jobs we come across
What vans, do you recommend for a mobile mechanic
Sprinter/crafter
Would you recommend halford advanced tools?🤞
Yes. Lifetime warranty so great value for money and no questions asked for exchange. The torx bits are weak
Nice
Thanks
