    I liked your toolbox. I would like to see how you bend brake line. I don’t like the way I do it.

    Don’t know if I’m the user your referring to but I’ve been waiting on this!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tsty5 says:

    Have all those tools. You really need a power probe 3. Everyone who’s anyone has one for electrical testing. Awesome.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamie Edwards says:

    Are you even able to buy a bigger tool box than the one ray has already it looks like the largest size box you can get ????

    Looks like you ready to go for business…
    I’m not a mechanic, I bake, bread is my thing, been doing it since 87, own my shop for 17 years now, everybody told me to rent, which I didn’t do, bought a 5000 sq. F. House and made it a bakery, I don’t think I would of survive if I had rented a building.
    Today’s time are difficult, it’s very hard to find help, so I work with my wife in the store and myself baking.
    We take our time, leave our lives, and work.

    Great videos and love your presentation style and talking to inanimate objects.

    Lovely boxes of toys you have 🙂 but what sort of tools/gadgets would you recommend for a home DIY mechanic?

    Couple of more questions if I may?
    What are your thoughts on carbon build up in modern direct injection Diesel engines and how to clean our EGR and air intake?

    What do you think of OBD dongles and home diagnosis?

    Anyway. Keep up the fun videos and I’d love more on European cars (ok, I’m a Brit and drive a big BMW 740 G12 Diesel)

    I have 2 toolboxes here in the UK. My first job involved performing basic maintenance (oil changes etc) on London's famous red hop on / hop off buses. I didn't know it at the time but my boss started me on simple stuff and progressed me a bit at a time through my probation period. This meant that I started out with basic tools and I moved on up I bought the new tools as they were needed. The only thing is, they are all imperial sizes. Only one nut and bolt on the busses was metric (as a result of a later modification)

    I moved on to join London Underground where I worked on the Bakerloo line. Again everything was imperial. Those trains still run today. I'm currently on the London Overground service where everything is metric, and despite the fact that the company supplies a team tool box there is a couple of problems. The tool you will most likely need will be getting used by someone else, and those tools are utter shite (cheapo crap brand) so I started buying my own tools in metric format, and now have another complete metric set. Your own tools pay huge dividends.

    2 tools I didn't see in your kit were:-
    1. A tote tray, I often need to just chuck a few tools into this to go inside the train where my big tool truck can't fit.
    2. A sticker that says "tool thieves, please carry contact details for your next of kin"

    Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Cohen says:

    I have watched many of your videos and am always impressed that you always have the right tool for the job and never half-ass it. Love your videos!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charlie1219 says:

    Q#1 Why the dead, unused or broken stuff? Q#2 Why not go up with a top cabinet?
    At retirement, I purged everything that I had not used in 3 years. Sold them and the box and only lost most of a fortune.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dennis Brogan says:

    Seams similar to opening my tool box , with the exception of a 3/4 ratchet and socket set , also very useful tapped wrenches which are fantastic for holding the battery stud retaining nut on starters . The distributor wrench was always good to put a ratchet on for some of those bolts in the middle of nowhere

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul McGrogan says:

    what size electric drive do you use?1/4 or 3/8 drive. also do you like the longer neck on them or a short neck?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cody Sallander says:

    Can u do top 10 tools for a starting out tech

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Rea says:

    I liked the tour. You have a lot of specialty tools that I have watched you use in action, though no mention of the "angry pliars" in this video. I shake my head every time I look at my toolbox and see how disheveled it is especially at the top deck where I plug in my chargers. After seeing yours, not anymore. I don't know how you can find anything. OEM tools found on Amazon makes some excellent magnetic tool organizers. Nice tour Ray. 😊 Thanks.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Hill says:

    Yep definitely time for a bigger box! You deserve it!

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars That Guy says:

    "Florida" – no doubt. I use minimum 40% deet, 100% if I can find it. And permethrin soaked clothes.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars puregsr says:

    You, my man, are not very organized

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars real eyes realize real lies says:

    NICE….

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Nobles Jr. says:

    Nice to see that you randomly organize, too.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars L.D. Smith says:

    I just wished I could afford to upgrade my box

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matthew Wearsch says:

    My favorite drawer was the one with the 27 different hammers.Hammer it to fit then spray paint it to match

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hans R says:

    Nice overvieuw, love the tools! Do you also use te wobbly exstensions Ray?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MegaTapdog says:

    i feel you, i have a real hard time letting go of any tool.
    i end up trying to find more storage rather than purge.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vladimir's Kitchen says:

    I would have thought you'd have a box full of AF sizes working with American cars.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lonnie Harris says:

    Ray I watch all of your videos,I'm a retired mechanic of 25 years and you do a great job be safe.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars matthew Clarke says:

    Maybe an icon tool box or a husky

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon Clark says:

    One can never have to many tools. It’s just the tool box that cost money.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars james nash says:

    I keep distributer wrenches for working on valves on fire trucks. Bolts are hard to get to.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars khofakyerself says:

    Brake line flange kit?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duane Thumudo says:

    Its time for Snapon Mr. Big

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cane_Nation says:

    Loved the tour of the tool box. If I did one of mine y’all would see a timing light, drum brake tools, and even some screw drivers with wooden handles. Alone with some other older tools.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Armitage says:

    There was a lot of “just because” and “when you need it, you need it!” and “random stuff” in there. Just like my tool boxes!

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kicknsystm says:

    I had to use my distributer wrench when changing the EGR valve on a friends 95 Silverado 350. No other wrench I own would get to one of those bolts. I'd given up thinking I would need it again. Never throw away/give away tools!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Stewart says:

    I know I know the video is 3 months old but guess what this is the first time seeing it so I get a pass yes I know I just climbed out from underneath that rock.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Stewart says:

    Your quarter inch size 3/8 drive ratchet, did you buy it like that or did you make it like that?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kraken wood floor service Mcmahon says:

    I am the ultimate capt. Retardo for tools..

    10 years framing homes = tools
    10 years electrical = tools
    2 years at Toyota = tools
    6 years floor sanding = tools
    12 years railway = I blew up their tools
    Now I just want to sell my house to a retardo contractor myself, live in a motel, never touch a screwdriver again…… and watch Rays videos while eating Chinese takeout…

    I am halfway there..

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt McNicol says:

    Buy a new toolbox. Don't put anything in it right away. As you use tools, put them away in the new box. After a year, anything in the old box goes home, gets sold/donated, gets thrown out, whatever. You don't need it. Now you have a nice, new toolbox, well organized, and only filled with tools you actually need.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Lapierre says:

    WOW.. ONCE SAW ALL THOSE TOOLS AND EVERY TOOL NEEDED.. ALL I HEARD WAS A HARP AND SINGING… I'M IN HEAVEN''… AND YES DO NOT TRHOUGH AWAY ANYTHING.,, NEVER KNOW… AND SAW A INNER TIE ROD TOOL THAT I LOST AND ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS, COULD HAVE USED THAT BUT AHHH WELLL!!!

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Blundell says:

    Yea!

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BOFH402 says:

    I have a Stanley ratchet that you can loosen or tighten a bolt by twisting the handle. I bought it when I married my wife and her car broke down in a small town so I had to buy a set of sockets and a ratchet at the local hardware store. I changed out the alternator right in front of the Napa store where I had coasted too. The tools at the Napa store were cost prohibitive but I use that Stanley ratchet more than any other 3/8" ratchet I own.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cengeb says:

    That is a lot of money in TOOLS!!! WOW!!!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 111smd says:

    these are suggestions: Part numbers are from snap-on for an example
    what you need for your tools

    Tote Bag: TB40
    – this is where you put tools you might need to get a car into the shops doors
    – screw drivers/wrenches/your code check tool/a quick jump pack/flash light/etc.
    – always keep these clean as to keep customers car clean

    Roller Cart: KRA2007FPBO
    – this is where you keep your most used tools, so they are easily accessible at every work station
    – Wrenches/Screwdrivers/Sockets/Electric tools/etc.

    Your big box: the one you have is good
    – tools you do not use vary often/battery chargers/torque wrenches/etc.
    – keep the battery chargers on top on the back edge of the top with a power strip to turn off chargers when not in use

    take all of the tools you want to keep but not use home

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christian Paul says:

    I have more than a couple "yeah…" drawers.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul N says:

    ORGANIXZATION!!!

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Mchodgkins says:

    I have that super scrapper and that orange brand tpms tool and many other tools you have, I definitely love the 1/4 size 3/8 ratchet that tool is well worth the $

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Søren Bjerregaard says:

    Where have you bought your electric ratchets??
