FULL DISCLOSURE: Milwaukee is sending us tools to use, to make videos with, and eventually to give some away. We are under no obligation to review their products as part of that relationship, and this video went live before they saw it or gave us any feedback on it. I have had this under hood light since August, did not receive monetary compensation for this video (just the tool), opinions are my own, and everything is scripted myself.
Thank you guys for watching, it's nice working with companies whose products we already use, but you guys are the reason we get to keep doing what we do.
MORE DISCLOSURE: De Ruijter is sending DEBOSS fruit sprinkles to eat, to make sandwiches with, and to eventually fire out of an air cannon.
How do you know I have an air cannon? (Shoots golf balls about 1km)
DEBOSS GARAGE Every shop, I ever worked in, had some type of air cannon. Or like the first shop, I worked in had a cannon, that used a primer fluid, and a push button igniter to fire items a 1/4 mile away! At least!!
wash your hands before eating.. soap is the first tool u need :)
Don't mind it, you gotta eat too. Milwaukee makes good middle of the pack tools anyhow...
1: Pocket Screw Driver(The screw driver that magically seems to work on everything)
2: Sharpie
3: Phone(good for taking pictures for reassembly and googling repair guides)
4: Work Gloves(I'm famous for smashing my hand against things the one time I don't wear gloves)
5: Acetylene torch(Aka sparkle wrench)
Bonus: A sense of humor/positive attitude(even as a home gamer you won't last long working on things if you can't step back and laugh)
Solid list. A sense of humor is a very good attribute in the shop. If you're a hard ass no one will want to help you.
Sparkle wrench, love it! Never heard it called that either, it’s a gas axe here in the UK.
Pocket screwdriver +1
3:35 !!! You can't hide that can! Now that's the most important fuckin tool in the shop! Almost 60k subscribers buddy! You and your vidya guy keep up the minty fuckin work your gunna get huge! Fuckin eh bud!
Top 5 things in my garage i can't live without
1: Box organization
2: Floor stuff organization and things (floor jacks, jack stands, transmission jacks, welders)
3: Box organization
4: Box organization
5: Box organization
Just for youtube crazy how much more efficient your shop can run when you’re organized
Totally agree, if my box looked like Richs I'd lose my mind!
Love the tape boss. Beats the crap out of pulling your phone out of your pocket to add a voice memo, or even more old school, having a notepad & pencil on your toolbox to right down idees & messages to yourself.
Damn man, hate that you showed us that underhood light. $250 gone just like that xD
Ok stupid thing I always keep in my toolbox at work is a putter. I found it in a storeroom collecting dust at one of the shops I worked at and it's almost turned into a universal tool for me. Makes a good hood prop for when the little hood shocks are blown out or the customers is missing. Biggest use is for pulling jack stands back out from under a vehicle. Hit the release hook the stand and yank it out so I don't have to crawl under. Also I have a low heater duct over my bay and usually forget to put the hood down then remember after it's just out of reach. So I grab the putter hook the latch loop and pull it down. I know it's stupid but I keep finding new uses for it.
I've really been contemplating one of the M12 underhood lights for a few months now. I think you've sold me on it. I also took way too many years to get step drill bits. Super handy!
Good sized sized 3/8 rachet. And ironically a good 1/4 set with bit accessories. Saftey glasses
Deadblow hammer. And Extentions.
I use my tapeboss all the time, that is when I can find the tape it is mounted on. I guess I need to buy more...
Good video man! I know what you mean about being the wrong size. I'm 6'3 and got stuck doing clutch jobs on Mack trucjs for a year. Now I do heavy equipment.
Hey, its Outlaws mechanic! :)
Stephen Cox tell chuckeE to get the lead out and post a video already! At least on bitchute for crying out loud. Don’t know if he had the baby yet but I wish him and the family well!
Being a non-mechanic/diy-er, and having a limited set of tools, my favorite tool is an adapter for a cordless impact to accept sockets. Love it and couldn’t live without it.
1. Eyes and ears.
2. Angle grinders
3. Hammers
4. Welders
5. Clamps
(Hobby Fabricator)
Like your stuff a lot man!
An electric ratchet. Cuts the work time down incredibly. Very nice especially in cold weather. Another good tool is an LED work light you wear on your head. Those 2 things have made so many things much easier
Really enjoying your videos. Eye protection is super important. Even a tiny flake of rust or certain chemicals in your eye can cause permanent damage. Eye trauma is also very painful. I did eye reasearch for ten years so I know a little about the subject.
Love my bright headlamp. A lot of times there's not space for a cobb light or underhood light it comes in handy. Also being able to light up what ever i am working on and have both hands free is nice especially being 3rd shift/night shift if i have to work outside.
And next is air hammer, couldn't live without that.
Tool organizers for your tool box
Working on it, stick around!
Still waiting....😁
The tool that I discovered that I need even more than a great lock back knife is my Mini Maglight. It has a really bright LED light and runs forever on two AA batteries. The older I get the more I need it. I think I probably pull it out more times a day than I do my knife!!
Favourite tool is the mini snap on flathead screwdriver that fits in your front pocket. It is great for quick adjustments, picking o-rings, prying, etc.
I made a video on this a month ago. Good call on the ear plugs, my dad has industrial hearing lose & hearing aids are not very helpful for it.
Second the hearing protection!!! I done messed up and didn't listen when I was younger and now I'm paying for it
Me too, I am 62 years old and work as an HVAC Mechanic and I have lost 60% of my hearing, due to working around noisy Chillers up to 10000 Tons...they really scream! Also, not to mention my eyesight...I wear Trifocals.
I've got a slight ring in my right ear after I drained the air compressor the other day. Regretted it immediately.
Reflex Photography NZ watch out I have a constant ring . I haven’t lost any hearing YET, but the ringing is pure hell at times when I try to lay down at night and relax
Greg Jordan the ringing in my ears is pure hell
That ringing is called Tinnitus. No cure for it, but there's white noise machines for night, I personally listen to quiet non vocal music at night to block the ringing. Something that works for me. Talked to a doc one time and he said it would be worse when I was stressed out or had bad congestion. Hope this helps q little.
Thanks - that light made it to my wish list. I had a crappier one (that one a chore to even find) on my list and just that light output and color alone has my attention! Looks like a good choice for my first M12 tool.
1)good floor jack & jack stands
2)Big swivel vise on the corner of a strong bench
3) Bench grinder with a stone on one side and a wire wheel on the other side.
4) Oxy Acet torch
5) 60 gallon air compressor
100% on the earplugs. I'm 62 and have ringing 24/7 in my ears after years of racing cars and working with power tools without using proper protection. DO IT!
Hearing protection is key. I lost my hearing due to disease in my twenties. I had it fixed. Now in my sixties and deaf again. Hearing is a gift. Do what you can to keep yours.
The one thing I can't live without (in addition to my grab kit) is an oxy acetylene torch. It is absolutely mission critical for so much of what I do, from dealing with stuck fasteners and frozen assemblies to various fabrication tasks.
The nicest thing about stepped drill bits is that they do an outstanding job of going through thin materials. They're *the* tool for the job, it's something about how they cut radially that renders perfect holes in sheet metal.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. As a new tech this knowledge is overlooked but incredibly important. Nobody talks about how difficult it is to fix a vehicle when you're just too overgrown to fit lol
you nailed it, taking care of your body when you get out of tech school at 20 years old isn't on your mind, but when you hit about 35 you start realizing what you're doing to yourself and it's not good. take care of your body
My favorite tools
Mug pliers
10,8,12, and 4 inch adjustable wrench
Pipe wrench
Tape measure
Speed square
Combination square
Spud wrench
My number one is my power probe have three or four of them the amount of time it saves on electrical is amazing. I haven’t touched a test light in twenty years sense I got my first one
Hand impact driver: When you have to get out a stuck, semi-stripped bolt\screw). You insert the bit into the driver and hit the impact driver with a hammer which applies both downward force to grip the fasteners as well as twist to loosen. Only con is that sometime there isn't sufficient space to hit the hand impact driver with a hammer.
Extractor sets for bolts
uts\screws. This is useful for stripped fasteners. You pound on the extractor to the fastener and use a ratchet or breaker bar to loosen.
Sprinkles, from the Netherlands !
I feel ya there. We work on everything from small equipment to class 8 trucks. Im 6,1 and i always have to tilt my head under our big truck lifts. It sucks.
Has no one said a torch... that saves so many jobs for me😊
Many have said it; they've referred to it euphemistically with slang expressions which seem to be regional. Around here it's called the blue flame penetrating oil.
Heat and beat
My favorite tool changes pretty much daily, but today it's my Eastwood double flaring tool. I'd been wanting one for years and finally came off of the money for it this week and man does that thing work nice. I've got to imagine that up north you do as many brake lines as I do so I highly recommend it. I'm also never going back to steel lines after trying the conifer stuff. Line jobs now take about 1/3 as much time.
Shop stool was a great suggestion though. I bought a pretty expensive one about 10 years ago now with 5" wheels that was guaranteed to roll over gravel, air hoses, etc and I'll be damned.. it does! One of the best investments of my wrenching life was a GOOD shop stool. Sadly, I haven't been able to find my exact model again, but if I do, I'd buy a second one in a heart beat.
1/4 cordless impact and Streamlight flashlight
For electrical work, Milwaukee has a version of their flashlights that render the true colour of wires & their band/ stripe.
LED in general distort the colors & this may be a useful addition to any bag or bench.
I'm a diesel mechanic and the best tool I ever bought and use everyday is my streamlight head lamp. I love it
ppe is very important. We always have it at work where we have to, but even on your own car where nobody is telling you what to do, having safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, masks, etc is essential.
10mm 😂. They need to sell them in packs like batteries. Id still loose all of them but it last a little longer.
I've seen them sold in 10pk or more - can't recall where...
Jman Go to AutoZone. They have a just 10mm pack of sockets that are all different and special lengths and sizes, wobble and impact, like 10 sockets.
I would loose the package tho lmao
Genius
With a complimentary 5pk of 12s
Second the hearing protection.
Also gloves and boots for me.
A good pair of gloves that grip even in oily, greasy conditions.
And a good pair of boots. I bought a pair of Danner Crafters last year. Most comfortable boots or shoes I've ever worn.
Transit Bus Mechanic
My top 5 tools by use:
1. Pocket Screw Driver (magnet end preferred, favorite one so far has the phillips and flathead that you flip within the handle)
2. A Good Quality Pocket Knife (Currently a snap-on supplied Kershaw)
3. Cordless Impact
4. 90° 3/8 Impact (Amazing for doing air bags in tight fenders)
5. PPE (Ear muffs/plugs, safety glasses, and netrile gloves)
Special Thanks to DG for great content!
I love my vertical bandsaw and my drill press. I 100% agree with you on ear protection. A good vice too.
LOVE IT !!!! I'm retired but That's the first tool box That resembles MINE hehehehe.You don't need all that fancy shit.I done this wrenchin' for 55 years and shoulda took heed to all the protection devices but all were not even heard of,back then.Good video.
Gloves! heat proof gloves! And wiring pliers, my favorite tool! Great vids, thanks
Kudos on the hearing protection. I wear blue tooth earbuds all day. Doubles as hearing protection and you can listen to your favorite tunes or whatever, and no, you don't have to have them blaring loud to enjoy them.
I love my Streamlight LED flashlight. Got one at work and at home. Lasts for days between recharges. My Bosch Driver is my favorite power tool. 12 volts and lasts a long time too. Bosch 10 LED magnet light uses the same battery and its another favorite.
Aircat 1/2 drive impact. Quiet and a powerhouse.
1/2 inch breaker bar seems to find its way into every project. Also the old 500watt halogen work light is great for heat and lighting up your work space
10mm 10mm 10mm always needed never can be found
I wish y'all hadn't pointed that out. Now I constantly lose my 10mm tools.
How true, why is that???...LOL
So that's where they go...LOL
Yep, I need a bucket of 10s.
Most of the time you can get by with a 3/8 if the 10 mm can't be found
Good job on the hearing protection, good advice young guys need to hear more often
Techs who work in the dealership environment will tell you the most valuable tool in his/her tool arsenal is the pen. My personal favorites are the pocket screwdriver and Streamlight pen light.
Nice! Definitely gotta try the christmas tree bits. I would say my top five tools i cant live without would be Torque wrench, feeler gauges, caliper, swiveling socket, and impact gun.
They're awesome, great for embigoning holes, and they self de-burr as well. Go slow if you're drilling stainless steel though, chowdered one size right to shit trying to drill stainless gate hinges too fast
Love Milwaukee Tools. I will definitely buy more. Yall keep up the good work
Lady slipper and cordless impact for me and u are perfect on the step drill bits👌
I also love my TapeBoss!
I love my headlamp and I use it a lot but I'm saving up for that awesome Milwaukee under-hood light.
William Lee m18 & m12 for life
Dewalt quick bit driver. Long 3/8 flex socket wrench, 1/2 and 3/8 drive stripped bolt removers. Hose clamp pliers. Ratcheting wrenches .
At 58, my reading glasses, i have pairs in every toolbox, my dodge cummins, bathrooms, and my backpack that i use to haul my work laptop around in. My safety glass also have built in readers.
Honda dealer tech here. My most used tool has to be my 1/4 electric ratchet. I was sceptical at first but now that I have one I hardly ever put it down.
Instead of regular ear plugs, get the 3M "banded hearing protection". I'm a woodworker, so lots of noise, and the huge advantage of that particular kind of ear plugs is that they're always around my neck so they're always ready, and they don't require squishing to fit in my ears (so they are faster to use and don't get gross from dirty hands). They have replaceable "pods" (the actual plugs) too.
Great video, I love that little roller attachment you made for the hydraulic jack for splitting tractors.. awesome
Angle Grinder, is my #1 tool.
I got fancier cutting tools now, but when you want a quick and dirty cut, Grinder every time.
gas axe is better lessen its alum or stainless
3 jaw oil filter remover, the kind that clamp down on the filter when you're turning the ratchet. They're cheap and after 2 trips into town and practically ripping the factory oil filter off because they had it on so tight, I got one of these and it made the next oil job take less than half an hr with basic tools.
Heating protection is so important. I have the 3m work tunes and I love love them.
If you’re a mechanic get good 1/2 and 3/8 battery powered impacts. Keep your old pneumatic ones and only use pneumatic in 3/4 or if your battery is wearing out on the other sizes or if you’re not in a hurry. Also get cordless 1/4 and 3/8 battery powered long handle ratchets. I use snap on like most techs but they are really awesome. Snap on price is bullshit but they save me much time on repairs.
Vise and the Goto socket those things are amazing for taking off rounded nuts and bolts
Milwaukee is close to home town. They are good company from most part help us in our industry with making tough tools for lineman.
Find it hard to live with out a good floor jack an a vise !
I appreciate the shit out of you highlighting hearing protection.
I have to say one tool that has always come in handy and I couldn't live with out is the old pen and paper. An older tech told me its the real money maker in your tool box and I'm finally learning what he meant.
Long reach magnet
Pry bar
copper hide
power probe
mirror for those hidden bolts
+agazillion for hand, eye and ear protection. Especially eyes. Been there, 67NewEngland.
Despite the entirely reasonable comments below, I like that your tool drawers are disorganised. Makes me feel a little better that someone successful has a great big rollcab with everything thrown in. I too subscribe to the Mattias Wandel school of tool storage, something along the lines of "I suppose I really should organise my drawers, but I like the space efficency of chaos". Roller stool and Tapeboss on my xmas list if you send to the UK....
Can't live without my airhammer from the Mac truck. That thing is priceless. The battery 1/2 drive Mac impact is essential. It's worth every bit, in my opinion. The 1/2 drive earthquake mini that I bought from Harbor Freight has proven it's worth as well. I could spout off about magnetic trays and magnetic impact socket holders, ratchet wrenches, 26" 90 tooth 1/2 drive ratchets all day, but those are the first 3 that come to mind.
Gearwrench pass thru or craftsman max access sockets,gearwrench flex head wrenchs,2763 Milwaukee cordless impact wrench, impactor, and a stepbit
sooo right about hearing!!!!!you are not getting used to the sound, you are losing hearing. where your plugs
My 5 Favorite Tools you ask?
1: Spark Checker
2: Pneumatic Grinder because i can never seem to fit the bigger grinder where i am working.
3: Wet Sand Blaster
4: the set of Impact Sockets from Matco
5: Paint Spray Gun. Brushing paint sucks.
Your recorder tape measure, is brilliant, I have lived with memory loss my whole life, my passion is motors this would help anyone!
I would add a rolling tool tray and/or Rubbermaid utility cart. We use them all the time in the building trades (utility carts) but the rolling tray is nice when you don’t have enough room for a full-size utility cart. Having everything at hand is rarely rated high enough because it’s just assumed.
Non-sequitur: I paused the vid right at the end and who did it stop on? Jessi Combs. Almost made me tear up...RIP, Jessi. You were a blindingly bright light while you burned and the world could use more people like you right now.
Electrical contractor here, we love step bits. I keep one in my tool belt.
agree with the light bar 100%
I am retired farmer, dirt contractor, general contractor. Now as Machinist/antique engine and tractor restorer who works in shop every day--here is my take on subject. I now wear heavy canvas apron working on almost everything and I have custom pockets sewn on for these constant companions
l. Eye and hearing protection (I have lost 65% hearing in left ear--machines, equipment and competitive shooting)
2. Sharpies (usually layout blue and black)
3. Pocket screwdriver with magnet on end (Advertising giveaways work and I have lots)
4. Streamlight pen light (remember I am old and getting older/blinder)
5. 6" metal hook rule with imperial graduations (Satin chrome because I can's see as well as once possible)
My list has 6: Pocket extendable magnet (So I don't have to bend over in the floor to pickup dropped fasteners and tools--also use magnetic trays to keep from dropping "stuff")
Protect your hearing and eyesight--can't buy replacement and hardware store or WalMart.
Really like the GTO in the background 🥸
Yes I would like to have your tool. I subscribed to your Channel long ago and try to watch all your videos.. Always learning something new. You are the best out there. Keep it up.
Headlamp, zipties, multimeter, airwand and picks just a few u missed. Lol 👍
Double thumbs-up on that headlamp; indispensable when you have to see and use both hands at the same time!!
A good bit set for sure is my #1 must have
I cant live without my Milwaukee 3/8 electric wrench. Saves me time!
My power wheelchair s my most important tool, I have four all in reserve.
I'm forever dropping shit, and with a bad back, hip and knee replacements, bending over or squatting to pick things up just aint as easy as it was 25-30 years ago. So, the most useful tool in my shop, garage, kitchen, or anywhere, is something to pick up those dropped items. Most used is the telescoping magnetic pick up tool. They're cheap, sometimes less than a buck, so I have a dozen or more staged in strategic locations. Get the ones that are strong enough to lift a 3/8 drive ratchet. (I also use one to locate wall studs by finding the screws or nails in sheet rock.)
Next is the flexible spring-loaded three or four finger grabbers. Those are particularly useful for grabbing those plastic or otherwise non magnetic gizmos that get dropped.
Then for in the house, those gripper/grabbers that can pick up a dime or a can of chili from the floor.
And something that I have been finding very useful recently is a flexible USB camera that plugs into my cellphone. With LEDs for light and an APP for my Android phone, it has been handy to use under the hood to find where that 10mm socket fell to. It is even small enough to poke through a spark plug hole to inspect a cylinder. I found several of these cameras for about $18 online.
Breaker bar if you’re like I was last year just starting off in tools and don’t have money for an impact gun I highly recommend a breaker bar I got a m18 2767 impact gun but I do still use the breaker bar a lot
My favorite tool is my shop!
👍
1. My speeder wrench, way faster than a wrench, but still gives you feel
2. My adjustable rechargeable magnetic light, harbor freight has one that's actually good, and the battery is replaceable.
3. Magnetic tool tray
4. marker
5. magnet stick
Long prybar, vise grips, needle nose pliers, pick set, and wire crimps
Favourite tool by far is my oldschool 10" Jamestown crescent wrench. It has to accompany me on every job and it almost always saves my ass!
AGREE with the Milwaukee Under-hood light!! YES!!
Mini sledge is my favourite.
WELDING MACHINE, clean shop, torx 45, air gun (impact) ;),phone when not ring !
good call on the hearing protection. We hear safety stuff so much these days it's gotten ridiculous like we all need to just stay on the couch wrapped in bubble wrap with four layers of eye protection and wait for our heart attacks. We've all been told a thousand times in lots of different trades to protect our hearing and I was one of those who didn't take the time or just thought it wasn't going to bother me. I'm 43 and already completely deaf in one ear. What you said about it being hard on the family and missing stuff is so frigging true. I'm always yelling what and tilting my head to point my good ear, sometimes they give up and say oh nothing or never mind. The docs told me even what I call my good ear has already lost frequencies that we naturally lose as we age so things don't look good for the future. Sorry to ramble on too much about it because I hate the safety nancy society we've become, but there are some things we don't think that are that loud or may not seem like they're damaging such as compressed air. Think about what you're exposed to every day in whatever you do and figure out what could be causing you damage. You may not care now as I didn't, but that's one of the big things I'd like to go back and kick my young stupid butt for
Knipex tounge and groove pliers, or think they're also called cobras. Haven't used vise grips or any other pliers since. I over paid a bit for mine but been one of my favorites for the last few years.
Top 5 for me:
1. Extra long Snap on flex head ratchets in 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 inch.
2. Mac anti-vibe 48 ounce ball peen hammer.
3. Snap on 1/2 inch tech angle torque wrench
4. Milwaukee 12 volt 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets
5. Snap on 18 volt 3/8 and 1/2 inch impacts.
Zip tie flush cutters, paint pens and extendable magnets
My favourite tool is an organised tool box. You should get a set of custom made ear plugs instead of using throw away ones if you wear them all day.
