Awesome Organization HACKS On This Toolbox Tour

Connor is a full service automotive technician with not only the skills, but the tools to back up any job thrown his way. I was stoked when he invited me out for a tour, and when I showed up, I wasn’t disappointed to say the least. Connor, thank you so much for your hospitality! If you enjoyed Connor’s tour, give him a LIKE! As always, thanks for watching!

Here are some Amazon Affiliate Links for some of the tools in the video. As always, prices fluctuate, so prices posted in the video are from during filming.

As a DIY enthusiast who’s constantly building his at home set up, I freaking love these videos. the only drawback is the damage they do to the wallet 😂

As a tech who’s only been in the industry a year or so I love these videos. Please don’t stop they are so informative if I wanna know what to buy or what not to buy. Thank you sir

Huge shout-out to everyone that's shared their setups so far!!!

Good call keeping tools in drawers instead of cases. It's easier to find stuff and faster to grab and put away and saves a ton of space.

That extendable pry bar is made by gearwrench aswell. For anyone wantin to save over half

Interesting to see use case adjustments to what people use, how they store it and what they prioritize. I have a lot of tools, mostly hyper organized in foam. The funny thing about tools I always tell people when they ask why I have so many is "I'd only buy what I needed if I knew in advance what that was". So in my case, I tend to be value driven with what I buy, I beat my tools hard (everything has 3 uses to me) and expect to break them. Anything I break I buy a much higher quality version. Oddly though, the cheap stuff these days holds up INSANELY well, I rarely break anything so who knows.

I got the extendable pry bar gearwrench branded... I found it at Homedepot on the clearance shelf for 20 bucks.

Nice box, awesome tools, and another great and interesting mechanic Connor. I love Connor's resourcefulness.

There’s so many cool ideas here. I also don’t like blow molded cases and I stack my pliers on each other. I never knew about those Husky dividers at 11;02. That would save a ton of space, stop clutter, and keep stuff separate with complete adjustment.

Gearwrench also offers that adjustable pry bar. I have that one and a bigger one and paid less for both than Mac's list price on the small one. Looks like it's exactly the same.

Seeing so many guys saying “bigger wrenches” when referring to like 1 1/4” is kinda funny to me. My set goes from 1/4” to 2” without any size skips. And I use those bigger sizes more then I ever thought I would.

That Matco tool box is freaking nice! I highly doubt that I will EVER own one, not at $15K, maybe a used one someday. I am in the market for either a bigger box or a tool cart. Have not yet decided on what way to go. Thanks for all the tool box tours man! I have really enjoyed watching them.

Those 11:14 husky organizers … *chefs kiss

Great tour and thanks for sharing. This was like taking a tour down candy lane.

Few have seen tool organization like the USAF operational maintenance wing flying multiple aircraft including the all titanium SR-71 Blackbird.
A locked tool crib will contain all the roll away tool boxes and portable line kit tool boxes as well a lock "chit box".
A tool monitor assigned to work in the tool crib signs out tool boxes to workers.
Each individual will be assigned ten chits with with a number stamped in them hung on a row of hooks next to their name.
Upon every turnover of the custody of each tool box a full inspection will be made with a inventory list.
Each and every separate tool and tool bit will be inscribed with the number of the tool kit box.
Each and every tool will be set in a cut out of neoprene foam inside the tool box drawers going a quick accurate way to see if a tool is missing.
The inventory of each item in the tool kits and tool crib boxes will be inspected at each shift change and signed for if accepted by the incoming tool crib monitor as well as a monthly inventory update at squadron command level.
Before a portable tool kit is removed from the shop it will be inspected. Upon completion of a task on the aircraft the tool box will be inventoried again. Upon return to the shop the tool box will be inspected again.
If it is found that a tool is missing, maintenance control will be immediately contacted and all flight-line activities will be halted, supervisors notified and personal with supervisors will back track every move conducting a full inspection until the tool is found.
Covering up an incident of a lost tool could result in criminal charges.
Each time a tool is removed from it box by another worker than who has signed custody of the kit must retrieve a chit from the tool room and place it in the cut out where the tool rest.
In the case of the SR-71 titanium aircraft, full duplicate tool kits specific for use on specific aircraft must be used. This is due to cross contamination of corrosive elements used on other aircraft that could contaminate the titanium. For example, an apex screw driver tip used on aircraft with cadmium plated screws and then used on titanium screws will cause the titanium to become "Poisoned" or cracked due use at elevated temperatures at mach 3+ flight.
It sounds complicate, it is, but once the system is established it is critical to operations and national security.

Excellent video, love Connor's box. That add on top drawer makes a huge difference. I used to have a Matco full bank cart in the silver vein finish it was great because it was so durable and never showed how dirty it was. Excellent video Dustin 👍👍

[Jack_all]

Seeing all these massive tool carts explains why the Big O mechanic quoted me $1600 to change 2 brake rotors and brake pads. 😂
