At least they have the option, Harbor Freight doesn't. Harbor Freight's largest model is Snap On's space saver model. Why is this even a thing anymore. 30 inch drawers are nothing new, I've had them for 25 years (and love them) on my 9000 series Matco box...That was before the 6S series came out. Snap on has actually been late to the game in offering 30 inch drawers.

Git you bye tools. If you have no such tool, harbor freight Pittsburgh is great. I wouldn't waste money on Icon thought. Harbor Freight for tools to put in your truck. If they get lost or stolen, just go buy more tools. But are they good tools? Hell no 🤣 You gone eventually need tool truck tools. Even the Sunex tools are better than harbor freight. The problem is Pittsburgh tools skip sizes and Icon tools are probably the same cheap chrome steel for more money. Then again any tools is better than none.

Everyone is untitled to an opinion but if that's yours, you haven't been paying attention. There have been channel after channel and mechanic testimony that show them to be solid tools. Not just mechanics, but contractors, fabricators, and maintenance guys.

If I have a job that pays $250 and I use a HF ratchet for $25, I have a profit of $225, if I use a snap on at $200 my profit is only $50... both ratchets work the same and do the same exact job. I see you didn't pass English class so I'm guessing you didn't pass math or economics either....

Bro, you're coming at Harbor Freight right now, but the first tool was a braker bar! If you want to spend $160 on a snapon breaker bar, be my guess, but that pittsburgh braker bar is $20. I could use and break 8 of those before I spend the equivalent of the snapon.

If you make it to your house, might be time to retire. Let's say Jimmy did without most of his life and ran into some money. He goes out and buy a new tool box, all new tools, a welder and everything he never had and thought he needed. A few months later he realized it's all a huge mistake! Now he has all new tools, but cannot program modules. So he buys a J2534. It bricks a new module and won't work on another car. So he buys a new Windows Laptop a rugged one for $3000, Jimmy still wants to flash program modules, he buy one of those $3500 RAP suitcases, and a subscription! Another problem arises. They don't support flashing used modules and only certain cars. Another programming failure. You think Jimmy would give up, and he can't even program a key fob! So he buys rhe latest Autel key programmer for $4500, plus an Alldata subscription. First car he gets it don't work on this particular car and it's a Mercedes and Alldaddy don't have shit on it😳 Now Jimmy has all this stuff and a customer calls... I need my oil changed. How much do you charge? CLICK! Maybe Jummy should have opened a QucikLube, or a pawn shop! Could have with all the money he spent! Or he could have kept the money and got a job cutting lawns or mopping somebody's floors, it pays more than the dealerships and zero tool bills! By this time Jimmy is sick of working on cars anyway. In 8 more years, there won't be anything left to work on anyway. It's all overpriced disposable junk! A two chicken box and drink is 14.99 and gas is headed toward $10 per gallon. Mechanics make about the same as McDonald's or Walmart workers. Hell Kroger is in the Union now! The Mechanics wages are stuck in 1985! With zero benefits and no retirement. If Jimmy worked for those lonewolf independent shop owners for too long, he won't even get any social security. They didn't send anything in- now they dead and there's nothing you can do about it. Today, information is worth more than the entire Snap-on truck full of tools. But I can tell you something worth more than information and tools combined. Cash money!

A lot will say “But you didn’t buy American!” Well ya, and you saved enough for four or five different setups with endless combos!” And the quality really is impressive regardless of it being a Chinese export. I changed over a few years ago starting with a simple five drawer US General cart that Im now currently modifying into a fifteen draw roller and with an additional side cabinet that’ll total 22 drawers! The first cart was dumb luck finding it stacked next to a dumpster behind Harbor Freight being tossed due to the bottom pan being dented during shipping. From there I bought one new almost half off on a sale and after watching a vid I modified it to a ten draw stack. Now I’m incorporating another one into it soon, it’s a marketplace find to make the fifteen drawer total then I’ll re-ad the side box to make it 22!) So many great ideas on mods on the tube that you really can’t go wrong and get to build the box just right for you. Kinda like playing with legos and you really can’t tell the box didn’t come like this. Anyway I think you did the right thing upgrading and you saved a ton too because the snap on resale may not be the huge bucks you spent originally, but you’ll definitely have a nice chunk of change left over reselling to roll into future tools and/or project stock so it’s a win win.

Otherwise - phenomenal video!

hell yea
Excellent video! Couple of things I would suggest to round out this kit would be: a set of punches/chisels, some torx sockets (I know they are kind of a 'specialty' tool, but they are found on a lot of cars now a days), good penetrating fluid, and a potent work light (I know you showed a pen light). Otherwise - phenomenal video!
Te reason I left out torx is due to I was targeting the beginner lube tech, a work light is a great addition, and most shops I worked at provides lubricants ond expendables as such.
I have been a tech for over 30 years I have Snapon tools I will say they probably make the best ratchets and chrome swivel sockets but I have been using Astro pneumatic air tools and cat are my favorite air tools capri koken sunex and many more you can’t go wrong
Also that Bam deck is rad!
Glad you’re pumped on it, can’t wait to see what to make!
Maybe just maybe watch how much shit and weight you put in it. Like your ass
Have you seen the little blow off attachment you can put at the bottom of the tool that has a small button? Might be useful idk what it’s called but seems handy
Bro how dare you show an unorganized tool drawer. You might as well call it a junk drawer. Ohhhhh sheeeet i said it!
I'm soo sorry did I offend you? Not un organized just full... reason why I ordered a larger box
Thought this would be a stand in drawer video like the snap on guys do and the hobo freight drawer would snap off 😂
Nope just showing how the snap on wiggles just as much...
Honestly if you can get an icon box and upgrade the slides, it’s a great box IMO.
