Air hammer, chisel, a nice long sharp punch, air compressor plus a blowgun for sure, some type of scanner/code reader as well.

Taylor, great video! Just the links to all the tools is worth the price of admission alone. Thanks for all your great research and sharing your experiences!

A couple of notable mentions in my experience, Pass-thru sockets. While not a requirement they come in handy say when you have a long alternator bracket bolt you're trying to remove close to a fender well, in occasions like that I prefer them to ratcheting box wrenches. Since you mentioned crank removal, I'd mention chain wrenches for holding the crankshaft when you go to reinstall the crank bolt, I used to ratchet strap the crank arms to the sub frame to hold them before discovering that method.

Great vid! And I'd say a cheap-ish tap and die set can be pretty useful to have as well.

Great video man, getting into working on cars now and this is really helpful. Ill be buying through your links a fair bit.

Taylor Ray. A most wonderful video, for which I offer many thanks. As an Englishman who's odometer has just hit 50 i'm looking to start wrenching on my 30 year old Land-rover Defender, and my relatively young (15 year old) 2006 BMW 335i N54 e92. As a younger and much poorer man back in the 90s i had to do much of my own maintenance on some very dodgy cars, and I have kept my tools safe should I ever need them. Since then I've had some male relatives pass away who have placed their tools in my care (I am merely their guardian). What's delightful to see is that apart from a few cordless impact wrenches I have pretty much all that is required, and a few more besides. Keep up the good work my good man, and more strength to your elbow.

Didnt feel like 40 minutes, good work!

I've found that a right angle die grinder and rotary tool are extremely useful for restoration work, if there's a lot of rust and old paint and crud to remove prior to treatment and painting. They're more maneuverable than an angle grinder and come in decent cordless versions. Mine are the Milwaukee M12 and I really like them. And like many I prefer the non-Fuel brushed M12 ratchet, because it's the least expensive and has the smallest head to get into tight spots easier. Also, if you're working on transmissions then you'll probably need lock ring pliers, which are like snap ring pliers but with flat tips for snap rings with flat tips instead of holes. And yeah, the M12 3/8" stubby impact wrench is great. Second favorite tool after the die grinder. I also think that locking adjustable pliers are handy, kind of like an adjustable crescent wrench but with a vice grip-like locking mechanism. Useful for tie rods and whenever you need two wrenches. And personally, I'd never use non-impact sockets with an impact tool. They'll usually work but you really don't want to risk that one time when they break and throw shrapnel everywhere.

Nice to see another Mechanic who's go to is 3/8"! I see so many of these KZread guys saying their 1/4" is the go to. The recommended GW 84t is definitely a great budget 3/8 ratchet and was my go to for several years, for most of us the 3/8" ratchet is the tool we'll have in our hand more than any other and if you can afford it ponying up the extra $$ for one of the truck brands is totally worth it if you're doing a lot of wrenching. My personal preference on impacts has always been air, since with a little oil they last a LONG time; batteries are expensive and don't last decades, but as time goes on I'm slowing going towards the battery stuff.

I love u video’s I am 14 and really into cars because of my age though it can’t get a car so I got a l206 go cart that I worked my ass off to get and I am finally doing something to drive and work on love the video keep it up

I'm a big fan of Wranglerstar and he raves about them and not even a sponsored item. To me they look like the newer ChannelLocks. BTW did the same brand of screwdrivers have a steel impact pad on the top like Klein?

Knipex are awesome! Their high leverage side cutters must have

I love that he made a video now I can buy stuff that I don’t have that I need ! Love the work

I agree for the most part. I prefer the snap on brand electric ratchet. It has a more slender profile and better reach. Also a big thing is a good set of swivel sockets. I use those about as much as regular ones.

So basically every tool ever

Dude didn’t even realize it was 40 min but was so focused and entertaining the whole time . Awesome video 👍🏻

This is the first time I see a long video! But it was worth it 😊

Thanks so much for putting this together! Helps a newbie out

Curious what toruqe spec range you do as a plane mechanic. Ik in heavy ive seen quite a few in the 1000 lbs range.

Great video, thank you. I literally have most of the tools that you had shown. I've slowly been collecting over the years, and some I had to go and purchase in the middle of a project. Now I have a list of items I will need to have for just in case. There is nothing more frustrating to me than stopping in the middle of a project wishing I had a different tool. I would like to give a shout out to Radio Shack's soldering iron kit. I've had the same soldering iron kit since I was 16 years old, I am now 41. I still use that bad boy when doing head units, speakers, and stuff.

Do they make them like they used to :c actually since the world started the big sick, do they make anything anymore? 😋

I scooped up a set of SK spanners (combination wrenches) for about 60% off on a Christmas sale, love them. My most used wrenches are the gearwrench flex heads. Tecton makes some excellent price value pliers. PROTO makes snap ring pliers which convert from inside to outside with the push of a button, wonderful!

I’m so lucky I ran into this video before building my first toolset. It really helped me

One thing that jumped out as missing to me is a set of flare wrenches for brake lines. I have seen way to many people round off nuts on hardlines using vice grips or open end wrenches. I would be interested to see how the milwaukee ones do since they have more contact.

I've broken many of the cheapo harbor freight ratchets that come in a kit. My advice is to spend the $10 on the pro series black ratchets they have

@@NicholasFussell the black Pittsburg pro is no joke. I have had a 3 foot pipe on one and started bending the handle before I stopped lol. Didn't skip a tooth. If I had kept going it may have but I was probably nearing the 200 ftlbs area Didn't have a 1/2 inch in that situation

I don't work on cars, but I use many of these tools (adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets) to work on machines. A pass-through socket set is very useful, as are a pair of channel locks. Also, don't forget to buy a chest for all the tools, and a sturdy workbench with a vise (Yost forged is a good mid-range option that is still very strong, Wilton Bullet if you are too rich).

Nice one. I came here to see how my collection stacks up and to see what I was missing. I'm an amateur diy mechanic (but mainly just cheap) so I've acquired tools over the years. Agree with the head lamp being the most used tool, impact wrench and electric ratchets being highly useful too. I still question the wrenches though .. I use sockets more than wrenches. I think I'm only missing the flex ratcheting wrench set (plus highly specialised tools like puller). The flex ratchet wrench may have saved me once... But I found a workaround.

I've definitely cracked chrome sockets using an impact. However I do agree, cheap sockets are better. You're more likely to lose it than to break it. And most every company has lifetime warranty on sockets these days anyway.

I didn’t need to watch this entire video, however I definitely did

I'm not a mechanic but I like organization, so thank you for showing me your tools!

You should get a set of easy outs and a set of twist sockets for rounded nuts and broken bolts. fix them up to work in a small impact wrench then you will not snap the easy outs by putting torque to them.

It's so much better than the HF ones. Sockets go upside down and dont fit right if they're in the wrong spot
