Another great video. Spot on man. Thank you for the time you are putting in to this. It’s awesome.

I have over 30 years of turning wrenches, you definitely gave some good advice regarding what tools you need to get in the door. As a new mechanic you don’t want to be asking to barrow tools from someone else. That someone else uses his tools as an extension of his hand. Great advice 33:26, can’t wait to see your other videos.

Awesome video. Really great selection for the starter set

My new favorite channel. Thanks for the advice. This really helped me because I’m fixing to start dishing out money and now I know what I’m actually going to need.

Terrific video and information from a terrific mechanic.

Very well thought out, good advice. I have a set of Sunex impact sockets I bought in 1989 I haven't broken one yet and I have abused the crap out of them! Stay safe and God bless

[bradparker-tzxk]

This definitely help me out I got most of that stuff already

[ILwoodsman]

Thanks for the videos. I have enjoyed all of them thus far. Great information. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Another great video !! Glad to see you putting it out there what people need and not try to get them in as cheap as posible cause lots of people getting in don't understand how much you need a month in or six months down road . Many video just set them up to get buy. It cost alot. It you are investing in yourself

[montevallomustang]

I am loving your videos! I am fascinated with heavy equipment repair.

[POSSUMK]

I think my best purchases for my first year was my Milwaukee 3/8" stubby impact with the 6.0ah battery along with a set of good wobble sockets. I can zip those clamps right off the valves for hydraulic lines with that stubby and some wobble sockets in some tight ass areas that there is no way I'd be able to get my air tool in. Oh an on prybars get you a 29-48" extendable indexing prybar it's the cats meow i can use mine on smaller stuff and extend it out for the big jobs an being able to adjust the angle of the head makes it really really nice. I probably got 10 different prybars an I pretty much just use the indexing bar 95% of the time.

I just found this video thanks for all the info i start my journey at a bobcat dealer and this should help me out some wish you had more videos!! thanks

[debolt]

good job well done for techs starting out.

[bryansenulis]

Been buying tools for 20 years now ....every week to grow as a master mechanic

[jacobwaltz]

But I'm glad to see a heavy equipment tool YouTube channel. I've been in the heavy equipment industry for 3 years now just starting out, so I'm excited to see this channel

[markiefufu]

Great info! I'll be living on the road in a 40ft converted school bus with an 8.3 Cummins. I have most all the tools already, that you mention, with the exception of some of the specialty tools like the filter strap. I like to be self-sufficient and do repairs myself.
