Here's a tip I heard from an aircraft mechanic:
"Buy cheap tools to start and the tools you break are the ones you use the most, so upgrade them."

I'm a 25 yr old girl, started driving last year and I'm really interested in maintaining my own car. I did my first oil change today and it's all thanks to you Chris fix!

My dad passed away last year. He had the best tool collection ever and I’m so lucky to inherit it. I’ve saved thousands working on my own car because of him, it’s just sad that now I’m really good at working on cars he’s not here to see. I would have loved working on cars with my dad.

Chris, you are a staple to my son and I. He is 18 and getting into car repair. We are spending so much quality time together that I am in heaven. He is welcome to all of my tools and, actually, he knows there is nothing I wouldn't get him if it was reasonable. Thank you for inspiring both of us. My own dad was NOT mechanically inclined (to say the least) so I am playing catching up and enjoying every step along the way.

Friend: -Do you have a 10mm socket?
Me: -Yes I do. Do you want to know why I have one?
Friend: -Why?
Me: -Because I don't lend it to anyone.

everyone know that early mechanics just borrow the best kind of tools, their dads tools.

[davidbeavers]

Don’t forget to buy a locking safe/vault for your 10mm and 13mm sockets.

Been flipping through some old videos of yours & just wanted to say how much you've helped me & my friends over the years. I went from a teenager who didn't know how to change spark plugs to being able to fix nearly anything myself. Largely bc you showed me that I could. I really appreciate what you've done for me and the millions of others out there.

A magnetic bowl or two. Seriously one of the best investments ($6) and I use them all the time. No more lost nuts/bolts/screws etc.

[kushy]

It's so satisfying seeing you opening them draws and seeing all those filled spaces, anyone else?

[EpicMelns]

Same here Chris, I’m a delivery driver at Pizza Hut and with the amount of wear we put on our cars it can get expensive having to constantly go to a mechanic to fix your car. I got tired of it and started working on my car myself and with the help of yours and many other youtuber videos, I’ve managed to save thousands of dollars getting the job myself all thanks to people like you👍

If it moves and it shouldn’t: Duct Tape
If it doesn’t move and it should: WD-40

[redneckraccoon]

Why dont they call them postive and negative screw driver

[appollion]

my tools are like a cop car...never around when you need them but always there when you don't.

Couple things I highly recommend even if you are just starting out. Long needle nose pliers, straight, and 45°. Also a good telescoping magnet tool. Matco makes a magnet that has a solid flexible long magnet tool that I really like and it doesn't cost to much. And a good flashlight, ones with a magnet built in can be really helpful, or just a small bright light.

a shop tried charging me $100 to change the oil on my did it myself for that is what made me decide to do all the work on my truck so far I've changed CV axles, hubs, tie rods, ball joints, transmission fluid, thermostat, my I've saved so much thanks Chris

[Lagomization]

Always have a drawer full of 10mm sockets. You have to make them feel at home or they will leave your toolbox.

[blehblah]

Chris is like the cool uncle the shows us cool stuff😂😂👍👌❤

I waited until the like 250+ set of tools from home Depot went on sale for $100 and I'm really happy with it. It comes with 2 lower plastic drawers which are kinda goofy, but it's well organized and I can still carry it around. Also, Husky does lifetime warranty and I've heard from friends it's as easy as taking a tool back to home Depot and leaving with a new one.
