      Lose some weight and do some deadlifts. It'll take time but even small arms can look good(ari isn't a big guy). You could also do some wrist curls but start REALLY light so you get the form down and don't hurt yourself.

    Ari is completely right that fixing stuff becomes a habit when you have the right tools. I am blessed in that I inherited a significant amount of high quality tools from family and friends, but all you need is a simple and cheap kit, and it will pay for itself in a year.

  • @chris3407
    @chris3407 3 роки тому +23

    Great video! The tool selection seems very reasonable. I agree it doesn’t make sense to buy an existing tool kit with “900 pieces.” They are packed with unnecessary tools. I also like the balance of quality and budget friendly tools, such as investing in the Icon ratchet that will get used a lot. A new mechanic doesn’t need top of the line sockets so those cheaper Harbor Freight selections are just fine. Finally, thank you for not throwing the torque wrench!!

    • @AriH211
      @AriH211 3 роки тому +11

      Glad you liked it. Agreed that low-end or mid-tier tools are fine for occasional use. That's what I bought when I first assembled my tool kit, and all those same tools are still going strong over a decade later!

    • @beo2421

  • @trwilliams22
    @trwilliams22 3 роки тому +4

    For first tool kit build out, buy Harbor freight. As you break things, replace with nicer tools. You will end up with nice tools for what you use all the time and cheap solutions for those that turns out you don’t use much.

    only thing i'd mention. an impact driver is a good tool to have. Especially if you buy an older or used bike. As you're bound to encounter a stuck bolt or screw that needs the impact driver to shake it loose
    if you happen to get an older UJM (or maybe even just check on any japanese bike) be sure to get Jis screwdrivers. it makes a difference in how many screw heads you strip ---the linked article does mention this. so kuudos for looking out.

    After having rounded out a couple of bolts and screws I would highly recommend to skip Harbor Freight's Allen keys for a quality set made by Bondhus (iit's inexpensive as well). If you own a Japanese motorcycle use a JIS screwdriver instead of the Philips for cross-headed screws; it's a huge improvement in fit.
    I'd also add a T-handle shaped socket driver (much faster to use than a ratcheting socket wrench), zip-ties, and an extendable 1/2in socket wrench (eliminates the need for a breaker bar).

    I also do maintenance on my bike on the street, and I live in an apartment on the second floor. I can assure it is doable. But I suggest you start small. For example: get the tools for the oil change. Then get the tools for brake fluid change and bleeding. Then the tools for a wheel change and brake caliper change. Little by little you get a very nice tool set, with just the ones you need. BTW, I think the list of tools here are legit.
