    I have a golden rule as being a mechanic or those getting into the trade.. When starting off alot of people wont have everything they need so therefore you tend to barrow tools which YES it does get very highly annoying when you loan your tools out & when you need your tool you can't use it due to another person using it.. That is highly annoying so my rule to everyone one is if you barrow the tool 3 times its time to buy it for your self. Tools can get very expensive! You DON'T have to get name brand tools to start off with, get tools to perform the job then later on.. Upgrade your tools.. Yes some name brand tools such as sockets & wratchets are worth it.. You do get what you paid for however 6 years into the trade as a mechanic i have the complete set of matco impact sockets 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 deep/shallow metric & sae/standard sockets however i as well have the exact same socket set in chrome sockets but there craftsman chrome sockets & they are perfect for me. Yeah id love to upgrade my chrome sockets but i use my tools for there soul purpose & do not misuse my sockets for what there intended for!! If you misuse your tools they will fail you. As for being a mechanic.. I am truly proud & love my job. Its an expensive trade/job but is rewarding in its own way.

    I agree with everything you've said but the oil filter wrench I disagree with everyone should have one but don't be dependent on them work on your grip and do all filters by hand doesn't matter how strong or weak the person is every filter can be removed and replaced by hand and I've seen way too many people over dependent on the filter wrenches and damage the filters or housing or just be a sitting duck when the tool walks off on it's own plus it helps build strength which makes the rest of the tasks much easier

Harbor Freight is your friend not the tool truck when you start out that will be foreign land ..but this video was very helpful especially the Toyota filters cuz I literally borrowed one today when I had to show and prove. Anyone who thinks this guy was mean or too stern you might wanna rethink what your getting into this was straight to the point just like being a mechanic will be.

    Guy is dropping knowledge and people want to talk about his tone/delivery... Everything he said is 100% true, I've seen people walk in the door without so much as a pen to fill out repair orders with, let alone any tools. Or the guys that have Mac tool chests with master sets of pliers and tap and thread kits and all kinds of big money tools that are brand new (and slowly become covered in dust) because they are not needed for lube jobs really... Yet they are asking to borrow my 21.5/22.5 flip socket for swollen lugnuts... So your $10k in debt to tool trucks and have all these high end tools, but you can't/didn't buy a $10 socket that you WILL use almost daily!? (My shop sees a ton of swollen chrome capped lugs.) You don't need a whole lot of tools starting out, but prioritize your tool purchases. Get the essentials first, THEN get the tools that will make things quicker/easier/etc. If you feel it is a job you want to stick with, once you have the essentials, start getting the tools for higher up positions. That way when you do get tapped to move up, your not scrambling trying to get everything all at once. Plus when they start giving you some brake work, tpms sensors, light gravy jobs to see if your ready, your manager and other techs WILL take notice that your banging out work with YOUR tools and not with borrowed/their tools. It shows that you came to work, not to just post tool and box pics on instagram and flex like your a mechanic online lol.

    Why wouldn't you have a thirty dollar multimeter and a full socket set range from 1/4 to 3/8? And a 1/2 breaker bar and lug nuts for your car and your mom's car. I mean, if you use electricity in life you need a multimeter. And even if you have a bicycle and no car you need a socket set, and Allen set. And combination wrenches. I feel like a socket set is about as reasonable to own as shoes. Although maybe it's good you try theirs and see what you like before you buy. But even if you found out as a mechanic, you still need sockets and multimeter and Allen keys. You spending all the money on beer or what?

So calm it and gain some perspective, not all countries have a "fix it yourself" attitude for cars, that was always very much an American thing to do, so people don't have multimeters and sockets laying around, and even if they were, they wouldn't be mine to take, they would be my dads, so why would I take them?

    Including the tool cart and basic power tools, a beginning lube technician will spend $1,000 if they go with value priced, low end / Harbor Freight / US General cart / Bauer power tools / Pittsburg brand hand tools, or $10,000+ if they go high end Milwaukee Tools / SnapOn / Mac brands. Thats for the tools needed by a lube technician, not a full automotive mechanic. This for a job that typically pays $12/hour - $15/hour, about what they could make flipping burgers, and less then what a waitress makes after tips at a sit-down restaurant. By the time a full fledged automotive mechanic is completely outfitted with quality, name brand tools, its not unusual for them to have $50,000 invested in tools. What’s a real shame is that’s a years salary for a automotive mechanic at most dealerships in the USA. Your typical mechanic at a automobile dealership in then USA makes $25/hour, or $50,000/year. A little less in some areas, a little more in others. That’s just one more reason why good automotive mechanics are becoming more difficult to find. The industry is in trouble in my opinion. The juice is no longer worth the squeeze as they say. Automobile dealers will say there is a shortage of automotive mechanics. Thats completely false in my opinion. The truth is many competent, quality mechanics leave the automotive industry for better jobs. Many good automotive mechanics go to other fields such as industrial mechanics. As a group, industrial mechanics are treated better, valued by their employer, respected by the other employees, and have a better benefits package. Other fields that can pay better then automotive dealership mechanics include A&P (airplane mechanics) and agricultural. Also, becoming a traveling mechanic for service providers that focus on planned maintenance shutdown contracts or disaster recovery can be lucrative. If you were making $25/hour and offered a job at $35/hour, what would you do? That’s $20,000 more per year. Over a 40 year career thats $800,000 more pay. So no, there is not a shortage of mechanics, there is a issue of automobile dealerships not providing mechanics, as a group, fair compensation for the benefit they provide, causing some to many of the best automotive mechanics to leave the industry. No, I’m not a lube tec, I consult for industrial and utility clients. Because of my work, I engage with industrial mechanics, electricians, technicians, and engineers often.

    1:03 the correct way to explain it would be to use 12 point sockets with 12 point bolt heads only, 6 point sockets with 6 point bolt heads ONLY. If all you have are 6 point sockets what are you going to do when you have a 12 point bolt??? All tools have their own designated uses. Just like a pozidrive Phillips is used for security or tamperproof applications, if you use a regular Ole Phillips it will strip out the head. Just because something fits doesn't mean it's right. The pozidrive bit puts more torque on the screw so when the uneducated try to tamper with it using the wrong tool it's strips it out and you end up taking it to a professional or keep struggling. Torx bits are not to be used for Allen heads and vice versa.

    I can understand not having the tools to do the job but you don’t have to get top of the line stuff to do the job with. I disagree about the air impact gun I removed lug nuts just fine with my husky air impact especially if you buy the 800 ft lbs one no problems what so ever it worked great for years, I might of had one maybe two times it didn’t work but that was because the Lugnuts were super tight. Of course I upgraded to a milwauckie electric impact and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg for being on a budget super portable too And you don’t have to drag a air hose around with you. You can get the tools that you need to do the job at Harbor freight every single one. And they will last you.

    I think in general an employer has to provide all tools needed to get the job done. A bakery don 't ask you to bring your own trays or ovens or no pilot brings his own plane. How about buying your own bus to be a coach bus driver? You spend money for the job what you actually want to make and when you get dismissed you sit on expensive not longer needed tools. Employees bring their manpower and will to work, that should be enough to bring to a job. But it's just my opinion.
