    I agree with the idea of peeking thru an experienced tech's box. I did the same when I started at the dealership I work at now, and also looked at his cart since he kept his most-used tools there too. I didn't initially spring for the tool truck brands of his tools, but I got myself set up nicely with some Tekton, Sunex, and Neiko sockets off Amazon and lots of Tekton wrenches. They also might be willing to pass down a few tools if they've upgraded too, depending on their mood and outlook on your abilities.

    Another great video my friend. I have an old set of “Made in Canada” Snap On 4 angle wrenches up to 1” that I picked up on eBay for $50 because no one else bid on them. I find that most of the hydraulic stuff I work on is SAE until we get into the Japanese and German cranes then back into the BIG metric stuff again. Keep the great content coming, and I’m guessing that specialty sockets are coming next or soon.

    You can also cut custom wrenches on a CNC machine if you have one available. I've done that for when an o-ring boss wants to turn instead of the ORF fitting coming loose- it can be impossible to get another full-size wrench in there sometimes. I took a picture of my snappy wrench and edited it with different shapes, sizes, and angles, and had them cut out of 1/4" steel. I have like 10 wrenches that I use for very specific things and I can modify or replace them in just a few minutes.

You asked if there was any other wrenchs you should have put in there and I'm surprised because you mentioned them but didn't show them and that's the extra slim or thin tappet wrenchs. I'm sure you know how handy those can be like when the fitting breaks loose instead of the line or my favorite when you've lost the wrenches to your die grinders and need to swap attachments lol granted it's not something a new guy to the trade probably needs to go out and spend a bunch of money on. But later in a career they are something to think about. Anyway great video keep it up!

    We were a bit limited for tool brands here in the U.K. during the 80s when I was buying most of my tools. Most of my specialty wrenches are Snap-on, because that was what was available. I have angle wrenches, stubbies and crows feet (both open end & flare-nut) in addition to standard length combination wrenches, which seems to tackle most things I have come across. The crows feet were very expensive, but saved so much time in not removing half a dozen other pipes or hoses to get to the one you need to change or tighten!

    TheHeavyWrench There’s not much that’s actually British anymore sadly. We used to have Britool, King Dick (Yeah, really!) and Gordon, who all made great tools up to about the 1970s. Britool are still around but not so good now. My first 10 years in the trade were in the British Army, and that’s the stuff we used exclusively. I have a Britool 3/4” drive set from this era, & it’s pretty much bombproof. Hell, I’ve used it since 1988 and it was by no means new then. Never broken a piece, and it’s had some use and abuse. I started using Snap-on when I left the Army and generally prefer it, though it has become VERY expensive. We can also get Mac & Proto over here, I have some odd items by them. We don’t have Harbor Freight though, so no Craftsman. European brands are fairly common, and relatively cheap while we’re still in the EU. I have lots of Facom, though that’s owned by Stanley now. Good stuff but not quite up to Snap-on IMO. Other good brands are Bahco, Elora, Wera, Wiha, & Knipex, though the last three don’t make all types of tools. Of course with the internet you can get pretty much anything you want now, but I tend to stick with what I know.

Worked on CAT, Hymac, Terex, Allis Chalmers, MF & a lot of smaller stuff. I’ve had a few periods on plant since I left and did a lot on JCB, Kubota, Hitachi, Benford, Barford & again lots of smaller stuff. I live in Devon in England, we don’t get too many big projects down here so there’s a lot of smaller stuff. 3 ton excavators are more common than 20 tonners for example. I ended up on fork lifts because there are more jobs in that down here and the money is generally better.

    A set of wrenches you need to try is the harbor freight “service wrench” set. I use mine all the time on all kinds of equipment. You can buy a high quality version from Proto or Williams...but for $50 the HF ones kick the most butt for the buck.

    Snap On's patent on the 4 way angle wrench's ran out, so now everyone is copying the Snap On design but not the expensive steel Snap On uses. It's funny that Snap On has been ahead of all the other tool companies for decades, the only way they begin to catch up is when Snap On patent's expire and they can steal Snap On's designs legally. Snap On innovates, the others follow (decades later).

We found one when we were pulling an engine out of an excavator and I laughed when I saw it, but I've used it a couple times and now bought the whole set off the truck, they are amazing!
