5 Car Tools Every Car Enthusiast NEEDS!
Рет қаралды 138,395
Күн бұрынCar Tools REAL Car Enthusiast’s NEED! In a day and age where clout culture is becoming more prevalent and shop babies are ruling the recommended, it’s hard to believe there was once a time where the average Car Enthusiast was actually expected to take care of and fix their car on their own...Instead of crying to a local shop for the smallest of things.
There is no shame in visiting a shop if you’re not confident in your work or if you need help in learning about your car, but there should come a point where every car enthusiast strives to work on their car. And we all start somewhere, a good set of tools will help you in doing the right work to your car!
In this video, we’ll not only talk about the tools you will need, but also how to use them! Get rid of the two biggest barriers of entry: get the car up, get the car’s wheels off, then start working!!
I still visit the dealership twice a year for Alignment, but also for Tax purposes. Reporting my mileage to the IRS apparently isn't "Trustworthy enough" to them, so I have a Dealer service the car and validate the mileage at the start and end of year.
I also take the car to be Dyno Tuned by LSXperts because let's be honest, I don't have a Dyno just sitting in my backyard. That'd be cool, but unfortunately I don't. So there's no shame in going to a Tuner for tuning, since Tunes are rarely adjusted relative to everything else you can work on.
*Note: I'm purposely wearing cheap clothes cause duh, I'm working on the car and am getting dirty. I always have Brits in specific who call me a "chav" for wearing airy sports clothes, but let's be real, why would I wear a hard to breath through expensive shirt that's gonna get dirty?
Haters like that really show they grew up spoiled in a White Collared Family and never turned a wrench in their life. I grew up in Indiana in the middle of Boone County and have seen others work on the fields and on their cars, so I'm not scared to wear cheap clothes and get em dirty.
Also yeah this entire video was basically me flexing against all the haters who are like "He has anime on his car, he's not a real car-guy". Meanwhile I see their Instagram or TikTok and those MF's are just Clout Chasers who haven't gotten their hands dirty ever and let a shop do all their work, but brag about being "Built". Oh it's built alright...not built by you that is. Imagine an "Anime Car Owner" having more Car Knowledge than so called New Generation "Car Enthusiasts".

Yeah, iirc they use magnets or something and given the material properties and the goal of the suspension. To easily adjust between performance and comfort, it makes some sense with carbon fiber.

I do know that the stigg did say that the corvette couldve gotten the track record at the time if the magnetic suspension worked, his words.

I remember when I got my crash course into RX-7 ownership when I helped a friend dismantle the rear of the car for a auxiliary injection system. I later went on to buy my own and we replaced an engine and transmission, installed a VMIC and a bunch of other stuff. Prior to that, I had never done any serious work on a car, let alone my own. You’ll get a better understanding of your vehicle and all of its systems if you know every part on it off of the top of your head, but you’ve got to start somewhere!

In Finland you have to change your wheels from summer to winter tires when the winter comes and the other way around when the winter ends, so I am pretty suprised when people can't replace their wheels

I had to do this in Indiana too. Winter can be in negatives for a couple weeks and 4 months is below freezing, so Winters were a Must, even my Vette had a set. Fun fact, Indiana has the same Yearly Temperature as Finland. We're below the Great Lakes and get the Cold Air from Canada like 6 months of the year. (both between 5-7Celsius , I learned this cause one of my Finland Followers on Twitter and I looked it up out of curiosity) Meanwhile I moved to the South and was shocked to see how lazy ppl were.

This way you know what tools you need before you start working and don't put yourself in a bad position where you are only able to complete half the job and now don't have a car to drive to go get whatever tool/part you need to finish.

The main reason I carry fixed screwdrivers in my tool bag is that when I'm applying a lot of torque with a multi-bit screwdriver/drill, sometimes the bit becomes friction-fitted to the screw/bolt so when I pull back the bit comes out. Naturally, in some situations, having a bit fall out can be really annoying lmao.
@everettclunie3525 2 жыл бұрын
As a mechanic by trade, can confirm one thing. No matter how many tens of thousands of dollars you spend on tools, it never really ends. There’s always something new coming out that you’ll need new tools to work on. Not to mention upgrading existing tools and tool storage. Then there’s scan tools, shop equipment, specialty tools etc. I’ve been wrenching for 9 years and I have well over 50k invested into my tool boxes. And I still need more. Probably always will.

I've cracked 2 10mm's trying to adjust my Leaf Spring Bolts. Then bought an Impact Rated one...and cracked that too with the Breaker Bar. My bolts were seized HARD cuz of Indiana Winter lol.

when I get my own place I'm gonna need to get my own tools but for now I'll just be very appreciative for being able to freeload off of my dad's tools. also I should probably check torque specs on my wheels I just uga-duga-ed them on with the impact gun till the bolts wouldn't go any tighter so hopefully I didn't fuck anything up doing that.

a torque wrench can go for like $30 nowadays if you go the right place. You can also get an electronic one for $100. An open socket has been my frined. if you have a nut where you cant reach the bolt an open socket set would be good.

So far in my life I have done all work on my car myself (it's all been repairs so far cause I'm 16 and super poor) and I plan on keeping it that way, unless it's far beyond my skill level or I get a new car and it is warrantied work. Btw I just got my first torque wrench and I have bought my own socket/wrench set :)

This may seem like a joke, but dog nail clippers are by far the most versatile tool ive used, use it for body clips, stripping wires, crimping wire, can use it for messed up bolts. Helped a dude last night and he got home because of it. Anything is a tool if you can use it properly

My high school has a know your car class of which I was in. They’d usually have us watch a video on a certain topic b4 they’d let us do whatever we wanted 4 the rest of the period. In the back, they had this 2007 Toyota Camry that ppl could work on as they see fit. I’d usually dig in after the period 2 take apart the engine and see how it worked, but that’s literally about all I did. I never understood any of the shit that I just learned in this video. I’m not gonna say thanks 4 nothing; I did learn some valuable skills and things I needed 2 no, but I guess I didn’t retain all of the information, which tour video helped me with. Thx, Bladed, and sry 4 the unnecessary paragraph of a comment lol

The unapproved method of wheel torquing is start by hand then ugga Dugga with the impact. (Just a midtorque and I'm not hammering them on I took a torque wrench after once and it was at like 100lbft)

One bit of advise when taking a wheel off and working on a car that's lifted by a jack is set the wheel underneath the car, to many accidents occur where people are working on cars and the jack fails or they don't place them correctly and the car can fall and seriously hurt someone or worse, setting your wheel under the car is a way to prevent you from getting hurt, better to damage a wheel and the car than injuring yourself.

My personal list of essentials is basically the same as yours. One light weight floor jack with a rubber puck. One cheap 200 pcs rachet set. And one 150+ pcs screw driver bit set. And if you do a lot of work under the car with suspension i would gotten 2 jack stands as well. Also i like to always put a wheel under the car when i am going to work under it in case something fails. I heard horror stories where the jack sprung a quick leak. Always get the versatile sets. My buddy got a rachet set that is missing half the sockets.. like 12, 15, 16, 18. It was a "Quality" rachet set so that was his justification. The worst tool you can get is the one you can not use. There is not point of any quality if the tool doesn't fit.

Speaking of brake, BG has a brake kit that includes this graphite liquid you can use on brake pad material to severely reduce brake squeal, it also has no adverse effects on braking power/fade. MB uses some carbon ceramic rotors on some AMG models and they love to squeal without it. And unfortunately customers don’t care that it is a natural byproduct of high end brakes. That BG graphite liquid is liquid gold especially on performance brakes. One of the only things from them that is worth the money.

Bladed I'm probably just being a arm chair mechanic here but I think it's much safer to jack up your car and stick it on jack stands than having 2 jacks. Jacks can fail and you could be unlucky and hang out under the side that gives away.
