Last time I was at the junk yard I found 2 vise grips. Vise grip brand even. They were rusty but worked. I evaporusted and oiled them and now they are in my bag too. Funny thing is I was keeping my eyes out for a used vise grip at garage sales hah

Excellent video. The only thing I’d add is a small telescoping magnet for retrieving dropped tools, etc. minimal size & weight but handy when/if needed.

2nd time I've rewatched this video, keep coming back to it for useful tips. A very well thought out kit and well put together. junk yards save me all the time with my old car, constantly needed parts to rebuild. I'll have to put a kit together myself just for lobbying around . Ill make sure I carry a hacksaw too, amount of times you can get something just by hacking it off, saves so much more time

I carry not a whole set but 2 of the most common plastic trim and door panel tools. I can use them on doors dash switches so on. Also being old and blind reading glasses and a head lamp. I’m going to build a kit dedicated after watching your video. Oh being in the PNW something to lay on. Almost forgot a cheep small magnetic hardware dish. Drop the stuff in and put it in your bag and go. Also find lost stuff on the ground.

It's been a really long time since I've been to a U-Pull (pick-a-part in my neck of the woods)... Got lucky with a well kept Ca XJ, but there are little minor things that have to get replaced and the U-Pull will be the way to go. I'm in the process of getting a bag together. Thanks for taking me back to my High School days when I would go there just about every weekend. Keep up the videos. Great job guys.

13/16 socket. Mid 60’s gm seat belt bolts. These are very good items to make some money on eBay

Gallon Ziploc bags to hold messy parts

Great video loved how you went in and showed all the tools. Makes me think I need to re look at my trail tool bag

Every Subaru driver has an empty vape juice bottle laying around

My favorite junkyards tool is my Milwaukee 2564-20 with wobble extensions paired with cheap kobalt metics sockets 6-19mm shallow and deep. Paired with Capri extended reach double box wrenches. That will get 90% of it apart without busting a knuckle.

Excellent video, I am going tomorrow to a U-Pull & was trying to figure out what tools to bring. Very helpful and valuable info. Thanks!

I added a 1/2 ratchet by not even taking a hammer and just using the wera koloss hammer ratchet. I found club style hammers a bit overkill when you dont always have the space to get enough force behind it so the koloss is the right size for me. plus they can have rubber pads over the face if you want a bootleg mallet. some other small things I carry are trim/panel remover, mini picks and hooks, diag cutter, bent needle nose and magnetic pen light.

My favorite punch has been a broken extension I grabbed out of the scrap bin at work over twenty years ago. It broke clean enough I never bothered to grind it. In fact, I found that the jagged edge helped get a better purchase on lock rings. I nicknamed my punch and cold chisel "special factory tool 1 and 2" For additional tools, I like to carry a 3" c-clamp, bungee strap and wood shims. I've found for Euro & especially Asian cars, they put fasteners in stupid places. Sometimes you can save considerable time and effort by moving or bending another part out of the way for access. The strap helps if you want to just unbolt one or two bolts and hold something out of the way. Also, if there is a particular tool you tend to forget about, like when propping up a hood with shot shocks with a vise grip. Wrap that tool with brightly colored electrician's tape. One tool I carry in my pocket constantly is my small Knipex pliers wrench. I keep a medium one in my go bag. Thanks for the video!

Great video I can relate , thanks for taking the time to describe the details! I do most of my own repairs and maintenance, love it, great work 👍

very nice and comprehensive video, thank you for posting it. I especially like the use of the socket bag and tool roll and will be adopting them into my kit. I generally only take what i know I'll need but always have extra tools in my car so i can always go out and get what i need, my local pick-n-pull gives a stamp on back of hand so you can leave and come back as many times as you need to within that day. the only thing that i didn't see in your kit that i use on a regular basis is a good compact flashlight. cell phone works in a pinch but don't really want to use it when in real greasy or tight situations.

I take my electric tools, a small craftsman socket set, 1/2” breaker bar and ratchet and common size half inch sockets, screw drivers, torx bits, pry bar, and a hammer. If I can’t get it off with those tools I don’t need it

Great video! Love going to new yards and grabbing parts (especially jeeps). Currently carrying around a 320 piece craftsman tool set and looking for ways to downsize when out at the You pulls. I think the bag is the way to go, thanks for the advice!

I just recently got a WJ from my father who passed away, and he never got to work on it nor really drive it. So for me this is a lot of good info for things that I need to think about since I want to rebuild (his) my 99 WJ!

Excellent video Man. Lots of useful tips.

I needed this video! Thanks

Splendid. Intelligent and practical, the result of experience. Thanks

What might be a good alternative to a heavy bag is a large durable suitcase with large wheels which can still have room for parts.

Forgot most essential FLASHLIGHT

I have a set that covers a pretty good range of things and I have that exact same bag to supplement it. I usually try to get a pretty good shopping list together and take a buddy with me and we knock out every thing for upcoming projects in one trip. No matter what I can't take a limited amount of time to go to the junkyard, I almost always make a day of it.

Good video and info brotherhood ⚡🔥👌🏽👍🏽💯

I would add some trim tools to remove push pins for inner fenders or bumpers. Tip on removing your part from your car first is great, because you might break something else while you are removing it. You can then get that part also. Thanks for the video.

I use that same bostich bag to carry my basic hand tools for when i do handy man side gigs

NIce video D&E. I carry too much. I am rebuilding the bag!

You could probably get a piece of pool foam and cut to fit in the bottom of your bag and cut holes for each of your sockets in order and write the sizes in sharpie underneath the holes. Make your holes small enough so the sockets fit sort of snug. That way your sockets are organized and easy to find. You can also take your foam tray with your sockets out of the bag and under the vehicle with you and leave the other stuff in the bag with your tool bag.

Learn something new everyday no matter how old you are..... subbed ya

Great video man

The 80s s10s love to use Torks as well everywhere makes the interiors hold up well though love you’re junk yard set very well thought out gave me some good ideas thanks deffinnetly a new subscriber

Adjustable wrench is a must for me. Ball joint nuts since my wrench set I have only goes to 18MM in my junkyard bag.

I have that very same bag. Bought it from Ross. Most of the tools in it are from Ross. Not my best tools. But that bag goes with me whatever vehicle I happen to be driving. And I agree...no cannibalizing from this bag.

You should honestly have more subs

Stanley makes a ratcheting driver like the little red one you had in that bag its inexpensive and pretty durable you can use any hex bit you need.

Great video

Excellent well thought out video!! I would say to bring crows foot line wrenches also and a small 3/8 impact. Also do you have the link for that tool roll? That’s is a must have!

good stuff

I use a roll mat tool holder segregated tools handy little pockets and easy to carry ...long shoulder strap but with added cushion pad for carrying comfort.😂😂😂😂👌👍👊🙌🍻

13:33 13/16 is lugnut size of many fords

I love you man!

Was looking for a mini rachet set like urs and found a decent kobalt one. Always pays to prepared never forget my first time when packed to light. But then u find shit u wernt plannin on.

Get the twist-lock rails by Ames. Come in a variety of sizes and they're durable. Never had a problem with them ever falling off.

I had to add a set of Yaktrax shoe/boot chains to my pick-a-part tool bag for the winter...our yards are a treacherous disaster in the winter when we have snow. I got an extremely nasty cut a couple years ago from trying to catch myself from falling and ended up catching a jagged edge on a grill on a truck...would have been better off falling without trying to catch myself...kind of ruined my whole day at that point. After that I started wearing the boot chains during the winter. Sounds dumb but having a good firm grip while walking around the yards is a very good idea for safety. I need to rig up a battery to take to the yards for testing electrical items.

Something to note whilst it's fresh in my head. In terms of a kit, it's probably better to carry a set of security torx sockets. They double up as normal torx (external) and they have the added option of the internal hole for security torx, so they're a 2-1 socket. Also to save weight, maybe buy a socket with a 10mm hex head, then use some "bits", rather than have full size sockets, just have sets with hexagonal shafts that are interchageanble similar to 1/4" bits. That's what I'd probably do anyway

@D&E In The Garage why not use 1/2 drive impact adapters for your breaker bar??...they get you out of jams at the junkyard...especially when the clock is running out with closing time looming.

Nice....!!!

Great vídeo thanks,l love tools wera wiha knipex gedore my lovers.

i use a military backpack for my yard tools.

I’d be getting some Knipex cobras and twingrips in there. Easier to use and less damage than vice grips.

Great tools tallke real worker man tools love it

Can you or have you showed a video to show how to test things with that battery and wire? I would like to see that.

I don't know if you mentioned a pic to help clean out torx heads and maybe a plastic hack saw or just the blade from a hack saw.

Bro bandaids are something good to keep cant tell you how many times its hot af and im sweating and i cut my self and blood start gushing out and starts dripping everywhere carrying a few can relly save your butt

What is the brand of your torx holder, also if you dont have speaker wire, fuses work in a pinch

I bot a lil roll cart for my tool box the best inestment your body gets super tired walking around with tools on your Shoulders

Awesome channel! My 97 XJ is my poor mans dream car. Keep chugging on with the genuine content

I would also carry a pair of wire cutters. Great video

Just saw this video And I do the same thing .only thing is that I have a truck with a cap

cordless grinder,recip saw,drill

My lowes doesnt sell sockets or adapters individually so if i need a pc replaced out of the set how does that work? How do they honor the lifetime warranty?

There's no right and wrong with things you nee.d You buy for the knowledge you have and what you personally want to carry. My tool bag weighs around 35kg, but I just chuck it in the boot and leave it there. I carry the tools I need to help myself, and potentially the tools someone else needs along the road. Adapters are always useful since you might not have that socket or ratchet, but they do but don't have the drivers for it

When I first bought a Jeep, I automatically thought they would be imperial. How wrong could I be....... Good thing I have both.

Phone, wallet, keys. Phone, wallet, keys... Everywhere I go all I need is my phone, wallet, keys. Phone, wallet, keys

Sadly I am only 13 and I am not allowed in most Junkyards. I tell my dad what I need but then when he gets the wrong parts we have to sell it for lee. We live in Central Florida does anyone know anywhere I am allowed?

i missed how it's free if you got it at the junkyard. don't you have to pay for things you get there?

You all should make 4 wheel cart so you never got to carry a tool.

I promise you the one thing you need you won't have

What kind of bag is this?

universal drives 3/8 etc

Missing Fix A Flat and tire plugs.

Your just like me men I always wanna be prepared for the worst great gear

Every tool in this bag has a purpose he says but what is a tool without one?

Man what a awesome video !!!! I do the same with speaker wire and a drill battery lol but what blew me away was the little bottle of break fluid , I’m going to my shop right now to add to my bag ..... thanks for the video man . Hit up my page as well , 2 thumbs up for you

If u didnt have eric a milwaukee stubby impact something i use ever time. Just faster

Look up engineer screw extracting pliers. They're pliers with a weird tip for rusty screws. Junk yard + Rusty screws + Shouting and swearing = www.amazon.co.uk/Function-Neji-Saurus-Damaged-Extracting-Engineer/dp/B00NBSVYOY/ref=pd_sim_60_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=45HCNYGPPWFMK9RMSDK7

I've got a AAA Card and a Garage full of tools at home. I never insult my Jeep with Junk Yard Part's unless it's absolutely necessary.

WD 40

We men love tools,women will never understand.

trial and error. derr. tools are fun. buy a half inch and loose the tool breaker pipe.

Over kill abs too heavy
