Tekton has really impressed me. There flex head quick release ratchets are very nice and there socket sets are great i have a few metric sets from them.

Capri tools are amazing quality tools, and their sockets (chrome and impact) are VERY worth the money. I use them nearly exclusively and they have yet to fail or not meet my expectations.

Will d makes the pry bars for tekton 2 they're also making the new channel lock Prime bars and yes the dominators are basically the same as Mac or macro Cornwall so yes they make it all for them things to do Snap-on same as the trust to cook hammers they make for all the same tool companies used to make for Snap-on but once again snap on stole it lifetime warranty there's a lot of good tools out there you don't need to get on the tool truck. Zorro Amazon eBay buy sell trade there's another one I can't remember pawn shops

As a mechanic for many years I have mixed feelings about your video. When you first start out you don't have the money to buy the big brands. I still use ratchets that have never let me down even though I did not buy from the truck. You actually do not need all those tools being a lube tech. Gradually build but you don't need to run to the truck every time. One thing you neglected about sockets buy 6 point not 12

The point of my video is certain things I feel that’s it’s good to spend high money on and certain things where cheaper is better. It’s also why some of the tool truck branded tools I talked about in this video I also included cheaper option brands. I believe a good impact and ratchets are the only two tool truck purchases I didn’t regret starting out.

For no more tools a lube tech needs there is no reason not to buy Snap On and be done with it. You can have the tools paid off in a short time and you have the best.

I’ve seen so many young guys buy a lot of snap on then decide they don’t want to be a mechanic after 6 months. That’s also why I think you gotta be careful

I think you could propably get atleast same quality if not even better German tools at lower price if you order. Not sure what importing costs are but propably still way less for good quality German tools compared to the ridiculous prices snap has

As a lube tech myself, I disagree. I put together my basic set of tools for around $200, plus a few odds and ends I already had laying around. A single 3/8" long ratchet from Snap On? $190. I'll add the caveat that this likely isn't a typical situation. Our express section of the dealership ONLY handles oil changes, tire rotations, batteries, OEM accessories, etc. No suspension, brakes, fluids, etc. They also do provide a basic assortment of shop tools (breaker bars, sockets, torque wrenches, etc. Even a few beat up impacts), so while most techs have a some sort of a portable toolbox with their own personal tools, it isn't strictly necessary if you're willing to go hunting. Still, most people should be able to get started for around $500, which realistically gets you two long ratchets on the truck. The way our shop is separated, we don't even see the Snap On truck - in only goes to our main shop about two blocks away. Not saying tool trucks are the devil, or that you should never buy from them, but when you're making $16 an hour, spending $300 on a ratchet doesn't make sense yet.

In Georgia, Waffle House was in the news. It seems their waitresses finally got a pay raise. From $2 per hour to $3 😳 Mechanics still waiting on theirs.
