Love the old craftsman! And checking your box before car leaves! Brilliant!

I believe in having multiples of the same tools, but you probably don’t want to keep them in the same place. It becomes clutter.

Got to agree with you on the Hansen style socket racks. For all the reasons you stated. I already had racks and saw these Harbor Freight knockoffs on sale and thought I'd give them a try and I absolutely love them

¡WOW Lou, That was a Terrific Freaking Tour of your TOOLBOX, brother. Thanks! It sure was nothing like the soup-to-nuts INTRO we got as part of our training in vocational high school 😂! I like how your feature presentation was on Olsa socket holders, and then how you magically turn things around and start showing and teaching us right from your box…from the NEAT to IMPRESSIVE “do-dat” tools (without which a job would be far more difficult if not impossible!) to your MacGuyvered pliers to that awesome Stanley Rotating Ratchet Drive… I gotta get me one of those!!! Oh, and that deep mystery drawer…When you first opened that thing, I swear I think I saw a beam of lights and heard celestial voices singing from above 😂😂😂! Hub sockets and Old school drain plug TOOLS…I thought I was in Kansas 🤣🤣🤣 without Toto😮!!! ¡What you expect from a GKlasse owner and enthusiast, with a 1987 w460/280ge, in the Caribbean😂😂! Anyway…thank you very much for the Tool Box Tour! Stay Humble and Nimble on your feet! I like your speedy replies to @jamher and @datdamndavisboy…love it😂!!! And please keep us posted of your collaboration with MWTR…. Peace.

Nice, I always love a toolbox tour! I’m trying out the Westling socket organizers and so far I really like them. They require a bit of planning. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for making me think, I love your explanations and your logic behind things

I just started working at Mercedes and love watching your videos 💪🏼

I’ve used nearly every socket tray & rail design on the market in the past 6yrs, and with that, I still came back to the Hansen design. The Olsa Tool trays are awesome, and while you might not believe it, I actually proposed the 3-row design to them a couple of years ago. I wanted them to stand out against Mechanics Timesavers, and no one else had a 3-row design on the market. What I found after getting my set was, they take up a significant amount of spacing. I have a fairly large socket drawer, but if you’re the guy who has a ton of verging sockets, you need space. These sets are great when you’re working with complete sets of sockets, but if you’re not, then I don’t recommend them. The logic is the same with the Hansen or any socket organizer with pre-defined sizing, however the overall foot print of the Hansen trays are much smaller than Olsa Tools. In general, I know I’ll look at others as they hit the market, but for now, it’s Hansen all the way!

Hey thanks for sharing your toolbox setup, I appreciate the content you have put together

Hansen's for life. HF socket organizers are an amazing price and work great too.

Great video brother a lot of good & accurate information. Thank you

Love the color of the box.

Thank for sharing your tool box🧰 tour🤘🏼. I’m suprime to see that you get to using tools from the big box store👍🏻

Great tool box !!! Great video !!!! I chuckled at the Batman LEGO. Loved it !!!

Good video with some good content!

Sooo cool and nice tool boxs

What phenomenal deal on that tool box you got. But you didn't get it you work for that deal. Great shopping

That’s a really pretty box. I’m just a hobbyist with a tool habit. Lol Also, it’s cool to see the Merc as I’ve considered finding a low miles older CL55. I am totally with you on the flex heads. And as I recall, the old Craftsman ratchets were 36t, even my beloved 3/8 11” polished tear drop. I quit using my old USA Craftsman mostly because I can’t replace them. They’d hand me back some piece that just isn’t the same. Now, that said, their new V series stuff is decent. Thanks for the tip on the E Torx. I have some Snap On stuff. But a LOT of Gearwrench. I love that little Icon kit. Looking forward to them adding sockets. It would be even better with a few appropriate wrenches and a driver handle. On the Jeeps, I regularly used a half inch drive. Frequently even a breaker bar. Though I did use a 24” 1/2” ratchet on a long Pittsburgh 14mm combo wrench to break a Nissan Frontier driveshaft bolt loose. It was utterly ridiculous.

Great video! I had to pause it half way through to order those low pro socket adapters. I like the socket boss rails....kinda the best of both worlds in my opinion. If memory serves me correctly, Olsa did come out with a 3 rail. They must be listening!

Great video!

For Chevy LS engine 8mm rocker arm bolts I used to use a 1/2 inch drive and six point socket as they would snap 3/8 drive sockets. I switched to 3/8 impact 8mm on a battery impact drive. It’s a weird bolt though. I’m lucky with my Craftsman warranty in Eugene Oregon as the Jerry’s hardware store stocks the sockets and will do the exchanges. Thanks for doing the video. I’m building out a new Harbor Freight cart and having fun with it.

Awesome price for that box 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I have that Stanley rachet it is so handy. I have had it for probably 15 years

Awesome

Awesome video! 🔥

I think you could take a normal socket rail, cut it down to the right width, and pop those extensions on leaving them horizontally but nicely spaced.

Brilliant video Thanks for sharing it with us 👍 CANNY Mercedes-Benz Master Tech Lou From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 07:31am Good Morning 🙏 🌄

Titan makes a nice low profile square drive adapter set as well as a low profile 1/4 bit to square drive adapter for the 1/4 impact too. The 1/2,3/8 and 1/4 rails for people that do take their rails to the car is also put a 3/8 to 1/4 and 3/8 to 1/2 adapter on the rail as well!

What an awesome ratchet I didn't even know such a thing existed

I love the olsa socket trays I have three rows for sae and metric

olsa tools has a grid system organizer that has holders that can be used for extensions. I really like them.

Husky has magnetic dividers in various lengths, going to try them for my extensions.

Commenting on the video for the algorithm

I have and used the Olsa Tools 1/4 and 3/8 socket organizers. They were pretty good but there were some cons...they take up more space than some other options and a bit less than others. They have some unusual sizes that are hard to find in many brands, such as 1/4x4.5mm, 1/4x20mm, 1/4x5/8, 3/8 x 15/16, and 3/5x1". I had to buy a variety off brands to fill it out. I did not like the way the shallow and deep stacked from different ends, as that made it harder to find the correct size in the shallow ones as the numbers are hard to reach on that run when the trays are close together. In the end I wend gucci with the TBW modulars. They are pricey and have a few cons, too, but were the best solution for my needs.

I'm still using the Hansen style drop on socket racks like you have, also? A few posts have snapped off, but really like that style the best? Also have the large metal rack with the old school steel socket holders, but they are pretty good for sockets you don't use as often? The MTS plastic magnetic 1/4" lay-down socket rack is one of my favorite for only 1/4" shallow SAE and MM sockets?

For extensions storage options...go creative. Hit an office supply store, look for a modifiable desk organizer...made for pencils, paper clips etc....should be able to separate by lengths that way.

Great video man, congrats from Pogotá Locombia (right in the middle of the 3rd world) ;)

Dealing with Torx bolts is interesting cause you have to collect a new set of tools. Finding quality torx wrenches isn't easy.

For craftsman the warranty has been nothing but easy as long as you know what to do. If you dont care about giving up a broken USA for a Chinese or Taiwan tool and your local store has the same item you need, you can swap from shelf at lowes or ace. (Once Lowes only had a torx screwdriver set where a local ace had single torx drivers so I had to go to Ace for a rounded T15) If there isn’t an option to swap at a store you can also text a number now amd just take a picture of ur tool and get one sent out. Just something to think about since I’ve already done plenty of testing for their warranty at this point…

Everyone has an opinion, but I love toolbox widgets

I also only care for the Matco ratchets, much over the Snap On's? Their locking flex-heads rule?

I got a set of those and use the 1/4 and 3/8 in my cart. The 1/2 didn't really work out, so I use the old tray. I cut it off below 13 since I never use 10-12

PS: I was a bit surprised I didn’t see any Gedorf, Wera, Dowidats and Wihas in your box…especially when I saw some ground down open/box Craftsman wrenches. I inherited a bunch of them when I got the G. They are trim, light and have a perfect fit, and are very strong….

Loved the tutorial on socket sizes for bolt size. Have used the same standards as you for years. Only broke two sockets 'cos they were miscast. Hope someone sees the thought behind the words.

I have the older orange hard handled Matco ratchets, which the plastic started fracturing pretty bad, that's probably why they went to the softer newer ones?

I’ll use a 3/8 standard or ratcheting wrench on om642 dpf brackets. Sockets don’t fit in the forward upper bolt so it has to be a wrench. Sometimes you have to play around with it to find the cheat codes

I have the exact same OEM low profile sockets, that came with the flat bar for doing tensioners? They are pretty sweet, and rare, never seen anyone else with them, but you? Pretty cool, right?

1:58.. that's "retail" making payments.. It's not actually an $18,000 value.. It's just what they charge because an individual is making $300 a month payments for 4 years..but they're not really WORTH that ...imo 2:57.. i have the Facom version of this...very handy

I literally have boxes of misc. sockets Craftsman USA, Thoresen, Armstrong, just hundreds of odd-ball sockets and sizes? Let me know what you need replacing, I probably will have them?

What’s up Chief!! I need troubleshooting help. My 1997 S500 Coupe has a battery issue. I connected a fully charged battery. When I crank it, it clicks as if the battery is low. I jump the battery and it start and runs and drives like a dream. (No dim lights or flickers) Once you turn it off, then immediately attempt to restart it, it’s back to acting as if it has a weak battery. Autozone says the batter is good. I even had them charge it up. Any Suggestions?? Thanks!

I tried the Matco 88 and I can’t deal with how loose the head is. I like how they are slimmer in most dimensions than the snap on but the slop in the mech is unforgivable.

It's a 6s, right? I had a 5s, and loved it for almost 20 years? I still think the higher end Matco boxes are some of the best on the market? Mine was only a 56" x 25" and weighted 636 lbs. empty? That box is about 800 lbs, easy, nice unit?

@Master 24:00 How U like those Husky Thin Head Wrenches 🔧 I need set for Brakes

Sir, love your phenomenal tool set up. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE reveal your location tho.

Help!!! The Harbor Freight pliers that you show at 54:35 in the video...do you have an HFreight stock #? or maybe a name for them? or what line they are (Icon, Doyle. or???). Asking because I just looked at all of HF's pliers online and can't figure out the ones you show in ur vid.

Could you please send me the part number for the black handle Snap-on 1/4" extra long driver. Used to use it with a 1/4" extra long flex head ratchet for everything and then I had to sell everything to take care of my wife's medical expenses. I'm currently trying to get back some of the best of what I had

That Stanley tool is a speed ratchet without the t-handle.

How popular Hazet tools in yuor shop? I bought for myself Hazet torq wrench 1/4, i can feel the qality of it...

Do you have any videos about your experience from running your own shop ?

Hey, Lou, have you ever made a vid on fuel pressure regulators, injectors and other fuel system related stuff. My 99 CL500 (M119) is not holding fuel pressure after shutting the car down. Climbs and holds at 50psi or so, but as soon as I shut off the car, the pressure drops like a ton of bricks. Car is also misfiring and smells like fuel. Wastes a lot of gas too. NO check engine light on. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why do you even need so many scanners? Wouldnt you be alright with just the Benz one with Xentry on it and a generic one for other brands?

There’s a problem with all the magnetic socket holders like Mechanic Time Savers. My Snap-on 1/4 inch dr chrome set goes to 15mm! My 3/8 Snap-on impact set includes the 21 and 22mm - there’s no room for it on those type socket holders. Why I switched to Ernst socket rails. With those fixed socket rails, even if you drill the holes out for impact sockets, there’s no room for all my sockets and no room to grow. The MTS or Mechanic Time Savers which are the USA made originals have not been updated in a couple of decades. All those other 1001 company brands on Amazon are copying an obsolete outdated product!

I’m about to kick my own ass because I’m stressing so much about color and same brand of organizers. HELP ME!!! Also where did you get the super low profile ratchet adapters?

Hey you may want to check out wessling machine they make some awesome trays also very nice tool box

28:15... yeah, Hazet is a professional, premium brand... they'd better last forever

Those magnetic olsa ones are the same as the others on amazon but the others are half the price.

You like the icon, but not snap on?

16:50

8 minutes in and i fell asleep. Im sorry what is this video about again?

Why the title of your video is about Olsa tools? You didn't even Open box !!!

You lost all credibility when you said you have seen newer Craftsman and china freight outlast Snap On sockets. That's a complete joke to put those sockets agains Snap On.

So in other words you are being paid by olsa to make their product look good.Gotcha.
