Tekton has really impressed me. There flex head quick release ratchets are very nice and there socket sets are great i have a few metric sets from them.

Im starting as Lube Tech The 15 of October. Best adivice my brother in law told me was “ Buy cheap Tools, if one breaks, you know what tool you need of quality you need” best advice i ever heard, i have easily $1500 on Tool & they all from Harbor freight only expensive thing i have is the Drill, Impact & Impact Wrench from Milwaukee & that is because the past few years of working on cars since i was in school.

Capri tools are amazing quality tools, and their sockets (chrome and impact) are VERY worth the money. I use them nearly exclusively and they have yet to fail or not meet my expectations.

Well I didn't learn anything new unfortunately but as an old mechanic with some opinions on tools, I have no disagreements. I'd be willing to bet we'd like the same resturaunts lol. If I could add one thing, craftsman tools are dirt stupid cheap on marketplace and some of their old stuff is usable especially for lube tech. I worked for a good while with just my old craftsman tools. Once again not a disagreement just food for thought for anyone watching. I give this gentleman my complete endorsement on this video. Other than that I'd like to thank you for giving reasonable advice and information to any new crop of young techs coming up. Best of luck with your channel and please don't fall into the snap on tool box tour trap. We all know the fastest way to grow a tool channel is with snap on and icon but then what? You are providing something real here. Who talks about Cornwell and Lisle? Good job

Nice no-nonsense talk on the topic. Thanks

Thank you I’m a really huge fan of home depot husky products I own pry bars screw drivers from them and they are good

[ILwoodsman]

Great video and great tool topics. Thanks for sharing sir.

As a mechanic for many years I have mixed feelings about your video. When you first start out you don't have the money to buy the big brands. I still use ratchets that have never let me down even though I did not buy from the truck. You actually do not need all those tools being a lube tech. Gradually build but you don't need to run to the truck every time. One thing you neglected about sockets buy 6 point not 12

For no more tools a lube tech needs there is no reason not to buy Snap On and be done with it. You can have the tools paid off in a short time and you have the best.

Will d makes the pry bars for tekton 2 they're also making the new channel lock Prime bars and yes the dominators are basically the same as Mac or macro Cornwall so yes they make it all for them things to do Snap-on same as the trust to cook hammers they make for all the same tool companies used to make for Snap-on but once again snap on stole it lifetime warranty there's a lot of good tools out there you don't need to get on the tool truck. Zorro Amazon eBay buy sell trade there's another one I can't remember pawn shops
