Best beginner Automotive tool guide that I could find...

[MrSupernova]

This was a very comprehensive list and probably something that most people should acquire over time but definitely must have for serious DIYers. I don't agree with using impact sockets for everything due to their added thickness and malleability. I prefer to have separate socket sets for regular ratchets.

I can see, Sue that you are talking from experience. Thanks for the video.

[DanielDroegeShow]

I love how you gave aditional uses for the tools outside of vehicles.

[anonymanonymity]

I love your videos, I have learned a lot being a DIY since watching a lot of your videos. Keep up the informative videos. Thanks.

This very channel helped me working on my lifted truck. As an Amateur, Im still learning as this is a side hobby. Main occupation is a welder

Excellent info, now a vid on selecting a toolbox to put them all in 👍🏽

[larrycroft]

Very good review with an extremely pleasing and informative presentation. The tip regarding ball socket adapters vs traditional universal joint types was so helpful I subscribed because of this video. Thank you

[nordicpride]

Regarding sockets, any true mechanic has both chrome and impact. The issue with only having impact sockets is the they are too bulky for access in alot of tight places and by their composition are softer than a chrome socket. Thus they wear out faster. So having both is the best of both worlds.

Hey what's up A-1 Auto I like your videos always finding something new to do on your channel. Helpful learning process of working on my 2006 Chevy Colorado. I don't have a air gun most of it is by hand cuz I can't invest in one yet. But I appreciate you guys doing what you do keep up the good work.

[shemmac]

[bwagenberg]

[joshuadugan]

Don't forgot the torque wrenches. Some of these things, if you torque it to tight, the engine might blow up, too loose it falls apart. LOL.
