Mason comes across as a great youngster with the right attitude, temperament and keen to learn. IMO these qualities are rare in young people. I was going to say you're lucky to have him but maybe you should take the credit for his development. Anyway well done.

I've actually really enjoyed you guys testing out all the Harbor Freight tools. Makes the whole job feel more down to earth rather than some tool fashion show

What people don't realize about "American" made products is that most of them have a lot of foreign parts on them. Even American made trucks/cars have TONS of Chinese components. I think it's good to invest small when starting and move up from there. Thanks for showing folks how to do that.

My Ford truck was made in the late 1990s, and while the engine was made in Canada, probably 80 percent of the other components and assemblies were manufactured in Mexico.

Clint has to be the best one handed mechanic in Indiana 😆 I hope Mason appreciates how lucky he is to be learning from a true master. I think the most important thing he’s learning, is to think 😊

Excellent content, Clint! Sometimes those head-scratching, butt-kicking, goofy one off glitches are the best for content. It is good to see Mason spreading his wings a bit; even with a fairly approachable boss like you, between the Dreaded Camera and voicing opinions to the boss can give Newbies fits. It appears that Mason is coming along into his own. Now if he only had some sausage fingers or a hyper festive fetish for, say, 4th of July or Thanksgiving... .😊

I think it's very nice of you to give those tools away. Some people just have to make an ass out of themselves. No matter what you do. Keep up the good work.

Wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtful response and demeanor… the Competitive Advantage of the USA … is design engineering and innovation… the sooner we support and develop that advantage the more productive our value added industries will become… such as tooling and production… it’s a global economy… we need to adapt and overcome this homer mentality and actually be global leaders … Keep up the good work C&C … well done

I love that you show the entire troubleshooting process: rabbit holes, dead ends…there’s something to learn in every false lead. Videos like this help give me the patience to run down mystery problems on my own equipment, and to take the time to do it correctly. Thank you.

What does it matter if some or all of the tools have some wear on them there FREE to who ever wins them! Great job Clint, Mason’s going to make a good mechanic my hats off to you for teaching the younger generation your skills I’ve know some people who won’t teach because they think only themselves should know things and everyone should beg them for information. I’ve always thought those were some lousy individuals.

Although I'm a trained Petrol & Diesel Engine Fitter and Plant Operator Mechanic, I have spent most of my working life as a Cabinet Maker. When I started that journey, I bought cheap tools in the UK from ScrewFix and B&Q (our version of Harbor Freight). As busness came in, I re-invested and slowly replaced all the cheap tools with better quality - but it was with those cheap tools that I learnt my trade!

Clint, when my grandson got out of the Marine Corps he needed some tools to get started in his new job. So, his Dad and Grandpa went Harbor Freight and brought him abot $400 worth of tools. Now 4 years later he has replaced most of them and sold his starer set to a new mechanic in the shop.

More HET videos please! Good detective work and ride along.

Great video again ! Love watching the detective work trying to solve these problems you come across. Mason is one lucky young man having good teachers to learn him his trade and he certainly seems like a good hard worker. Thanks for taking the time to film it all for us.

I'm glad to see young Man like Mason working and learning. I think he found a good place to work.

Clint, for me, your videos are never boring, so just keep on truckin...You've got a great crew as well, and having your sons working by your side is something special. You mentoring them is huge benefit and will think of the times spent together their entire life as they turn those wrenches. With the haters, no one can please everyone. Keep up with the great work!

Not gonna miss a single hater I think what you are doing with the tools is awesome thank you

It absolutely amazes me how much damage mice (rodents) can cause in this equipment sitting around for years. Watching your videos and Matt from Diesel Creek, he deals with much older equipment at times and he calls them mousedominiums. Proud of Mason for the great young man he is but he has a wonderful teacher. Clint you are spot on with the tool give-a-way and glad the haters have thousands of dollars to spend on tools while us common folk just fix things. Love this channel and all the great work you do and the whole crew. Absolute joy to watch.

Hope the tools hold up. 70 years ago my Dad’s advice was, by quality tools, they will last a life time. He was right, hope Harbor Freight tools last.

Barry - your dad's advice is definitely sound. I have my doubts about the electric tools holding up to professional every day use but who knows? I think what Clint was getting at is that for someone starting out, HF might be a workable option. But they'd be a means to an end - definitely should be replaced over time. On the other hand, the wisdom your dad passed along to you of "buy once, cry once" is a good rule that kinda negates everything I just wrote, haha.

​@@nicke1903- South Main Auto used a few Harbor Freight 1/2 drive impact guns at his garage as a test. They all quit working and he sent them to AvE who did a post mortem. The internal hammer and anvil (the parts that make the impact to break loose lug nuts, etc) was a powdered metal part instead of a forging and wore out when used hard every day. If HF cuts corners on the most important parts, all the other pieces of the impact gun are probably pretty junky too.

Had a similar issue with a New Holland backhoe I rebuilt for a customer, had some cracks in fuel from it sitting ,, was sucking air and not meeting the flow the pump required,, new line and some priming,, ran like a champ👍

Mason seems like he never backs off he just keeps pushing on, The old Oshkosh taught us all on this one. Thank you for another fantastic video ,Clint.

Also I believe the harbor freight tools have a lifetime warranty that all you have to do is take it back to the store and they'll replace it no questions asked. I tried to buy american made as much as possible but as an electrician klein tools don't even much of warranty today. That truck is so cool!

Love seeing this oldish American Military hardware. Great learning material for Mason. Fun seeing you two working together. He seems to be soaking up your knowledge. Good to see young people working with their hands AND their minds.

WOW!! It's been a few decades since I saw a mount like that!! I repaired radios for the ARMY. That is a VRC-12 series radio mount. Most likely for the RT-524 Radio. WOW! such a deep dive.

I noticed at the end of the video that the flapper on top of the exhaust was not closing. Do know if a little rain would hurt but too much rain might cause some problems.

Its great to see your son working with you. Great that he shares his thoughts on the problems with you. Most kid either have no thought or are afraid to share them because dad will make fun of them or worse get mad. I enjoy watching the start ups and the repair videos. Thanks for your time.

The harbor freight tool thing is interesting. I wish you would talk more about the pros and cons of them in daily use in your shop.

1) Anyone who hates on you for the whole HF long term test/giveaway probably needs to address the things in their lives actually worth getting mad about. I'm no fan of the chicoms either but lots of those tools are made in Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, etc. The service you're providing by giving an honest review is a gift. As you mentioned HF stuff is a good option for something just starting out who might not have $5k to spend on a Snap-On tool cabinet (with no tools in it). 2) Do you all use the dash 20 manuals for these vics when you troubleshoot? You guys are ninjas but they do come in handy sometimes.

Great job you two. You're a lucky man Mason, to learn from Clint. You have some serious sleuthing skills Clint. Great video. For suck a big machine, it seems to have good road manners. That air throttle would drive me nuts though.

Williams tools are very expensive and pretty close to the steel that Snap On uses. Just for info Snap On Tool Co uses only virgin high carbon steel which I thought steel was steel but the steel used on Snap On tools is not recycled steel and when a dealer turns in his broken warranty tools they go back to the factory and are buried in a big trench. As a dealer back in the 80’s I had to go out to the Snap On grave yard to see it happening with my own eyes and sure enough there was a big backhoe digging a new trench and they were dumping some broken tools. I couldn’t see why they didn’t scrap the steel but they said it was because of liability. I didn’t really buy that but they stuck to the story.

If it matters, the flapper on the stack is stuck open at the end of the video. You might get rain water down into the manifold. I noticed that the alarm wasn't beeping when Mason was trying to start it, but I didn't have to comment on it!

Thanks for another great video. Just a tip from the Old VT Logger, my dad thought me year's ago, when someone is riding with you, and you get to a stop sign, or crossing, and they are checking for Traffic. They are to say , clear, if it's ok, or wait, if not. Go, no, and woha, sound to much alike in a load truck. It's worked for me for over 60 years!!! Just a thought guys!!

I started turning wrenches with a hand me down set of Craftsman, until I found out can replace for free. Then I had a shiny set of Craftsman tools, went to garage sales and bought everything craftsman. I would only buy 1 wrench from snap on, the most commonly used, when I was earning more I bought a set of snap on. When I was rolling in cash, I bought the big box, took 3 years but it takes time to build quality. When someone ask me to borrow a 9/16 wrench, they are surprised that I have 15 different styles of 9/16 wrench, every tool has a purpose.

Hi Clint with your amazing mind I don’t think you need to explain about tools to any one ,geniuses are dime a dozen so don’t let them bother you God bless you all at C and C.

6:03 if i were to use this particular truck model, i would defo put a tool tray on rails. You'd loose a little bit of height, but the convenience of being able to pull all your tools out would rock the world. Probably something using the slides used for kitchen cabinets (the ones for narrow spice racks) with a knee joint that would allow you angle the tool tray down at an angle when it's at max extension (basically four pieces of square section with a bolt through. In two pairs, two of the four pipes are attached to the slider, two attached to the tray). Back in the mid 90's i was stateside to visit family and one of the things i saw then was something very similar to this, but for a f250 truck bed. The whole thing would come out, bend down with a knee joint and you could load stuff on board. IMO, this kind of truck needs a tool tray on it. Nobody buys something like this to buy groceries.
