I didn’t know what to say when I saw a tank sitting in Mike’s garage. Needless to say, his setup supports any hobbies he has - including maintaining his tank and military truck. Mike easily has the biggest collection of Snap-on tools out of anyone I’ve had featured on this channel to date. Such an impressive setup! Thank you SO much Mike!! I had a blast! If you enjoyed the tour Mike took us on, give this video a Like!

It would go great with your large crowfeet. The handles are short.

One of my parents best friends was a mechanic and electrician. He was my mentor for that type of work growing up. He taught me how to do everything and was helping out my parents at the same time because they had four kids to feed and house and just didn’t have the money for expensive repairs. Anytime something broke instead of just doing it himself he would teach me how to fix it at the same time. He was an incredibly good guy and would help anyone out without asking for anything in return.

Stop thinking of Snapon as an investment. He will spend YEARSSS parting this out to get some money back, but what will most likely happen is he'll sell it for pennies on the dollar as a package.... or the more likely scenario his daughters will give it away after he dies.

I wondered when Mike moved the blow molded case and said "that is a DP51" if it was a Daewoo. Later he mentioned working on firearms and then I knew it probably was a Daewoo. Interesting set of tools and some very nice ones. So many that will not be used until somebody is "restoring" an antique car from the 1970's to 1990's. Mike seems to be the kind of guy who people can go to when they are in need of help and can't afford to visit a repair shop. I know of a few people who help out like that and I have done the same myself when I could. Take care, jack

I was a working mechanic in the late 80's early 90's and I can tell this guy has experience just by some things he mentioned. This is a justifiable obsessive collection, LOL.Man, would I like to know a guy like this for when I get stumped on something. Thank you Mike for taking the time to show all of this.

Mike is a great guy. I sold Mike just handful of those Snap On tools back when I ran a truck (2011-2016) when he was working at a gun store at that time. Bought some gun stuff from him that was back when he had left SilincerCo and before starting up dead air. Never saw his box or setup but wow heck of a collection. I thought mine was decent I was a tech before doing Snap On, and when I left Snap On I kept at least 1 of most anything I possibly thought I might use one day still have stuff in my box sealed up haven’t even opened it yet.
