2 years starting out as a mechanic working at a Saab dealer. Best organized cart ever. Over flowing with tools! From harbor freight tools to snap on tools. Full tour of my box. I’m always trying to improve on the organization and getting new tools. I had so much tools I had to split the necessities into another harbor freight cabinet.
* 2:35 in video starts updated organized tool cart*
30 In. 5 Drawer Blue Mechanic's Cart:
2 year review of the US general tool cart: Cheap
-Working full time, working on about 80% Saabs this cart has been great. I would recommend buying a cart before you buy a tool box. This cart is Fantastic no issues yet!
I roll this cart up to any side of the car I want and I have almost everything I need in the cart to do almost any job around the car as effectively and efficiently as I can.

Nice to see a young mechanic who did not fall prey to large debt to the tool truck brands for his tool cabinet/cart. Used the money saved to invest in some quality tools 👍

cardo yes!! I’m always trying to do reasearch on best/lowest price stuff that is quality enough to get job done and hopefully last. As well as have more money for the expensive specialty tools like line wrenches from snap on that I wouldn’t want cheap brand

It took me 7 to 8 years and my own shop to buy a bigger niice box. I worked out of a husky and 2 craftsman boxes until efficiency started playing a roll. It was harder to find things and easier to lose them. It's always a great ideal to buy every quality tool you need then buy a nice box if you want. I see to many young techs buying snapon box's but have Chinese Craftsman tools. Also the box is not even half full. Keep doing what your doing.

I have the same box. I love it. Traded in a big craftsman ball bearing drawer rollaway to and bottom box and switched to this cart. The big box is hard to keep organized because there is so much extra space. With the cart you are forced.to keep it somewhat clean and organized because space is at a premium. I like the way you have.your stuff organized. I am looking to see how people have organized their carts because I am running out of space but I know I am just not organized well.

Well the monster are flex head reverseable ratching box end vs the straight zero offset box end wrench’s? I use the monster mostly the snap on is more of a speciality in my opinion I don’t use them often...the monster brand or off brand ones are all pretty much same and we all put them thru some crazy stress but haven’t broken them... also keep in mind it’s not a socket and ratchet so sometimes break a bolt loose with socket then use whatever..

My wrenches are Kobalt, DeWalt, husky, Duralast, O'Reilly's power torque and Craftsman, few Proto and one snap on 1 in. I have never broke one, even the tough brand from Walmart haven't broke. In my opinion don't make snap on, Mac, matco and other massive expensive tool companies more rich Don't buy shit but also don't get fucked, just buy medium lifetime warranty brands. For 300 you can buy all the wrenches from DeWalt that you will need, stubbys and ratchet wrenches. I used a snap on 14mm non impact on my Milwaukee 1400 lbs and became popcorn, I used a 14mm Stanley non impact on my Milwaukee 1400 lbs and I keep using it lol.

Haha! I’ve just retired from 45 years on heavy equipment and fork lift trucks. I think you need 3 hammers. 8oz ball pein (for very light stuff & tapping out a gasket) 4lb lump (for most stuff) and 14lb sledge. (though probably not for car mechanics!)

Gear Wrench is just rebranded Craftsman

@c.r.edmister5223 4 жыл бұрын

That's not true. They are both owned by APEX Tool Group but, that's where the similarities end. There aren't enough similarities between the tools to be able to confidently make such a claim. If you hold a Craftsman Ratchet in one hand and, a Gearwrench Ratchet in the other, you will throw the Craftsman Ratchet in your junk drawer. The quality of Craftsman isn't even close to Gearwrench. I'd buy Gearwrench tools over Craftsman tools 10 out of 10 times.

umm gearwrench is more like matco, u can buy the guts for a gearwrench ratchet and put it in a matco co worker did that few times🤷🏻‍♂️

@@c.r.edmister5223 And that is NOT true either. Well the part about Gear wrench being owned by Apex is but they do NOT own Craftsman Tool. Stanley Black & Decker owns Craftsman as well as Mac Tools and several others..

I'll never understand why people fanboy Snap-On to the point of de-branding logos to stick Snap-On on it. if you love the company that much, buy their box if you can't afford their box buy a cheaper box and own that shit yes that US general is the same as the bluepoint but changing the logos is basically a "look at me I have Snap-On box" move instead of a "yeah Snap-On have one of these but I decided to go for the cheaper one because what's the point of spending more for a logo"

Just buy a cheap servicecart. Grab what u need and do the job cart should empty between jobs

@c.r.edmister5223 4 жыл бұрын

I think 90% of mechanics would disagree. The cart is the most common way of working on things. Put what experience tells you you use most frequently in it and, leave it. Most mechanics don't like having to walk back and forth from the job to their big tool box because they forgot to put something in their cart.
