I am a widow that needs to learn more about homestead maintenance, since Papa has passed and those chores fall on me now. May YAH Bless Cody for doing these videos.

[jamesparker]

We could all watch you do this for an hour once a month. Best wishes to Cody and family. Been watching for 10 years.

I’ve inherited all my Fathers tools. Unfortunately he died three years ago. He was an engineer and taught me as much as he could. It’s a fantastic 45 year collection. Of course some of the hand tools were my Grandfathers. I need to get them organised is the only problem. Great video, you do valuable work for people who weren’t as fortunate as me. A good father is an undervalued commodity these days.

Funny you mentioned your Grandfather having a bunch of “ice picks” and other picks. My Grandpa also had a bunch of picks of all kinds in his 3tier stack Snap-On Tool Chest. After WWII he owned/operated a Sunoco Station. Side note, as a kid that tool chest was like a treasure chest of things I could spend all day going through. For years! The top section of the chest when unlocked folded up and had the Snap-On plate that said “I own the best, please don’t ask to borrow”. That made everything in there twice as exciting to me as a kid. My oldest brother was fortunate enough that my Dad passed it on to him since he was the oldest and first to own a home. He’s not a big tool person, so I keep working on him to give it up, but I’m not sure he’s going to let that happen! Lol. Sorry for the rant….just got me thinking

[MrGuy]

Fun fact: your Snap-On dealer can swap out just about any 1/4" drive body with a 3/8" driver head/guts! Works great for tight spaces where that adaptor may get in the way. Just a helpful tip!

[stanpeterson]

Not sure about any of your other viewers, but as a professional home owner who works on their own vehicles and owns a tractor I find the 1/2” drive sockets very useful and they don’t gather dust. Snap-On is the best I agree but most people cannot afford these. I have several wrenches that were given to me by my grandfather (heavy equipment mechanic) and I know I couldn’t afford this wrench set today.

This was a great video. Plenty of fizz here. The one essential item I would add to this kit is a telescoping magnetic pick up tool, for that one nut, washer or bolt that you drop deep out of reach in the engine compartment and that there is no way to reach with your hand.

[turnedwrenches]

You are the father figure so many young men and women need, those who lack one. Otherwise, oftentimes they end up being boys and girls for a long time mentally. Dont do everything for you kids, show then and they will learn!

[jdsedcgearandreviews]

Cody, only thing I’d add to that kit is a good utility knife and a small level. Those are two items I often times need, figured I’d throw that out there. Hope you and yours enjoy the new year!

[mainelymadagain]

This is so great, I just bought a house in Maine and realized I was using most of my dads tools and needed my own. Literally just got back from the hardware store with all the necessary tools! Good timing brother! God Bless, Happy New Year!

As a recently retired auto mechanic, then shop owner then teacher at a school in Nashville, I can really appreciate all of these tools. I have them all in the garage, along with a whole bunch of others in 2 Snap On tool boxes. That one handle with the hook like end is either a hose hook tool or a cotter pin tool. And you are right that is an o-ring pick! I love your videos and have been watching for a couple of years. Looking to move out of the Nashville area and buy some land in Tennessee and enjoying retirement and serving The Lord with the rest of my days. The wife and i got covid and are fighting it now but I believe The Lord will pull us through. Cody, I truly enjoy your videos, you are an inspiration to me and a breath of fresh air in a dyeing world. Thank you for what you are doing, and sharing with those who see the true value in being self sufficient. May our Father bless you and your family mightily in the years ahead !!!

As a mechanic in a building that uses like 90% Allen bolts.
#1, Cody is correct. Ball allens save lives.
#2, buy a good torx set and a junk torx set. Junk tork socket driven into a rounded out allen with a hammer gets the job done every time ive had to. Also Knipex Cobra/Alligators will get the job done if its exposed.
#3, Stubby Allens(socket set and wrench set) and Flat tipped allens like his Bondhus T-handles are a must in a kit if primarily working on allens.

[Havocme]

11:19 Tip for the ball allens: If you are breaking a socket with an Allen that is tight, do *not* use the ball. There is a high chance of rounding the socket.

Good tool talk Wrangler star 👍👍 as an electrician my main go to EDC is a 6 and 1 screwdriver, hybrid lineman pliers and a flip bladed utility knife. God bless you and your family this up and coming year 🙏

God I miss these lists so much
I’ve watched the workbench build so many times. With the 2 by 4 on their side and metal legs. I built it and I love it.
And top 50 tools video you started because of the book on the blacksmith.
You’ve taught me all the things I wish my dad could’ve taught me
He worked all the time and he knew so much. But health got the best of him and I couldn’t learn from him before he got his stroke.
I appreciate everything you do.
I was raised Christian and am no longer religious but you are certainly proof of a higher power.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love this video! I am a industrial maintenance technician (do anything and everything guy) I work out of a 5 drawer roll cart and I have almost everything you have in your cart and then some. I love 3/8dr sockets and I use a 3/8 impact universal joint on my hand drive stuff all the time.
Snapon still sells those nut drivers but call them handled extensions but there the new handle style. I have they Mac versions in 3/8 and 1/4dr with the locking collar use it all the time at home and work. I also say a good multimeter is a must have. And if you do precise work more a digital calipers might not be a bad idea.
I love your tool choices and selections. I want to have a good selection like yours sometime.
Have a great and happy new year keep up the great videos!

Those curved picks he had, are hose picks. The ones he said he used for O-rings. Which is actually another use.
But in case someone is interested in knowing more. That's the specific item you'd be looking for.
Actual O-ring picks are identical, accept they are a bit smaller.
The hose pick is basically for stuff like heater/radiator hoses. They get essentially cooked on it seems at times. Well once the clamps are removed from the hose, you use the pick to break the seal around the inside of the hose. Basically just enough to break the bond/seal between the hose and spout/nipple. Then you can begin twisting the hose back and forth until its off.

As i was watching and listening to you tell the story of the Prodigal Son, I could hear Softly and Tenderly in my mind. I’ve, many like you and I, have heard and/or told this story many times. But I couldn’t help think how many people were hearing this for the first time. I enjoy your channel and appreciate you sprinkling in some Christian education. Every little bit helps. May God Bless
