Late to the party but 40k in tools is not actually that bad. As a semi retired technician i can promise that i have much more than that. After 45 years of wrenching and buying quality tools it adds up. I do have my box(s) very well organized. Not each tool in its own foam cut out, would need alot more storage, but a place for every tool. Thank you for this dream garage brother. I do have quite a few Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools.

Seeing the excitement on Matt’s face as he realizes the scale of everything that it took to get to this point is the best part. Too cool.

I would venture to say that people who can afford a build like this and have the means to purchase all of these tools, have others complete the mechanical and menial tasks many of us must execute ourselves. Just my intuition.

I don’t think you’re wrong however, I think it’s just like the car washing. In all honesty it makes more sense for me to have someone wash my cars every week then to take the several hours and do it myself. I find it a great way to let myself melt and meditate. I think there are still plenty of people out there who are high earners but grew up working with their hands or started by working with their hands or just derive satisfaction from being able to do things themselves, and then ofcourse on the flip side of that are the people who just want to have it so they can tell the people in their life.

I find it fascinating that anyone would not want something like this if you have an interest in cars. I've chased my whole life to able to make choices that didn't involve consideration around money. Fly first class or coach, order whatever you want from the menu, get any car you want, send your kids to school and just write the check... These are all things I find valuable and am willing to make the sacrifice to get it. I want the choice to work on my own cars...or not. If I'm going to work on something, it sure would be nice to have amazing tools to do it. But...I still have the choice. When you've had the success you don't have the baggage of worrying about justifying any longer. You just make the choice without judgement.

You're not wrong but there are a lot of people, myself included, that do not wrench or work on cars to save money. We do it because we love it. Now, in order to achieve that for me I take no joy in detailing or wrenching on a crappy mini or economy car. Give me something interesting and I'll spend days happily

“So where do you draw the line? I say you don’t. You just keep going.” This Matty quote would like nice as a douche banner on a OG HQ wall.

45 batteries is beyond overkill

The batteries to me are an area where an OG spec charging wall with 6 to 8 of the high amp hour packs ready to go in their chargers at all times makes more sense than rarely used batteries resting in their tools going flat.

Lithium Ion batteries are best kept in the 50-80% range. Fully charging and discharging is what takes a toll on them. The other real problem causing thing is heat. The more often they heat up, the more wear and tear. The magic of having the funds the buy a complete set like this is that you can game the Milwaukee packages to get a battery for each tool without a ton of extra cost.

Thx for including the cost matt.. Much appreciated.. That garage is absolutely a dream ...wow... Good job too all that had a hand in designing/installation /planning etc...

Incredible, Matt! You can see all of the passion you’ve put into OG come out in this project! Hope we get to see it when it is populated with cars as well!

It's amazing the entire business that you have built. One thing you should speak about is YOUR ability to take action in life. I think alot of us can learn from that.

I think this is awesome, and I can't help but see a future where Matt has a further perfected solution. Filling in the empty spaces in the drawers, and ironing out the nuances of the milwaukee kits will make this even better as time goes on. I have some sonic cabinets on the way and I couldn't be more excited to dig into them.

I love love love your attention to detail,I would give anything to have a garage like yours ,all the hard work you have done SHOWS!!love it!love ya!

I’ve watched this complete series and love how it has all come together. However, for me you have lost me at Sonic tools. Call me a tool snob, but I will always go for Snap-On tools over anything else for my hand and air tools. Using tools as part of my job over the years and when I had to buy my own tools, I always bought Snap-On. Even now when I don’t need to have my own tool set and tool box for my job, I still buy Snap-on tools and tool boxes.

Love the organization and design, love Matty, but where the tools are located in the cabinets clearly shows it has been done by someone who is not a mechanic. A 72” wide top drawer full of screwdrivers? On top??? Mechanics most used tools: top drawer-sockets & extensions, next drawer down- ratcheting wrenches, next drawer- hex/torx/reverse torx bits. 4th drawer-pliers/ knipex pliers wrenches/ diagonal cutters/ hose clamp pliers/ hose removal pliers/ Swedish pipe wrenches/ vise grips. Although still necessary, even ratchet handles have fallen out of favor with the advent of 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” impact guns and battery ratchets. Still love what you do Matty, it never ends. He who dies with the best toys wins!

I'm telling you man. I've climbed the ladder from trailer park to where I am today. Spending $3000 to have a battery for every tool when you make/have lots of money is simply a choice with very little meaning. If you are make something like $75K or even $150K/yr, it may not be smart to do that.

To know you have a complete set is comforting.OG spec garages are by far the coolest .

What a dream. So awesome. I’ll have my version one day 💥

Great content as always!

Love the series the only “gripe” I’d have is from the contractors angle a 3rd of the batteries is still more than ever needed. Incredible though and having 60 isn’t the worst problem in the world lolol

Amazing. I can’t necessarily do things ‘right’ but I enjoy seeing the folks that can.

Do you have a map of what’s in what cabinet? I just imagine trying to find the one thing you need to finish a project and spending an hour trying to find it

Crazy cool.

Looks so good. Work of art.

This is a wet dream for any car guy! Wow!

One hell of a process!!!

Hope you have a Band saw on the list, they come in handy. Nevermind you got it covered matt

It’s actually not best to leave the batteries in the tools.

Looks like it’s going to be a awesome setup, it’s definitely a lot of work. I’m liking my swisstrax but ended up going newage on cabinets. Just can’t afford sonic right now but plan to go that route down the road. Sonic is about the only one that offers most tools to go with there cabinets which would solve some of my OCD problems 😂

The giant top drawer is the place for all the sockets and ratchets.

I really hope this garage gets used and isn't just a collection to share with buddies drinking beer in the garage....... Be cool to fast forward a year and see the work that's come out of this garage

Why not place all the sockets on the top long drawer

Tool grid needs a 1/4 bit holder and a plastic clip holder that’s press fit for metal rod like things (screwdrivers, drill bits, picks)

Just the Drill bits are a flex Hahaha! Those shockwave bits are $18 a piece

Those Sonic boxes are cool and all but they really need to come out with small drawers for storing miscellaneous small tools & accessories or it's just wasted space. I can sense your struggles trying to fill these voids lol

Trolls … most of us can discern from what we “need” versus what we “want”. If you’re complaining about stuff like “why waste money on tools you’ll never use”, you have completely missed the point. I’m afraid you’ll never understand. Why buy season tickets if you don’t use them all? Why pay for cable if you don’t watch it that often? Why buy a 75” TV? …… how about, stop being a hater and just appreciate another’s success? You know, you don’t HAVE to be jealous/envious. It doesn’t effect you. For me, a $500 garage chair is utterly ridiculous. That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the value (real or imagined). Same here, no I’m not going to spend anywhere near this on tools but I still see the value and convenience. Not to mention it just looks killer. It’s just my humble opinion, but maybe spending more time with your family may help reduce the hate?
