GREAT VID, THANKS AND YES SNAP-ON NEVER FAILED ME , EVEN ON THE BOLTS THAT OTHER SOCKETS WOULD SLIP ON. PUT MY SNAP-ON SOCKET ON AND IT WILL TURN THAT BOLT OFF! TRUE STORY

Bluepoint is snapon’s foreign exchange program.

My father has always been a handy person. I recently got married and got my own house. The one thing I got good at is patching drywall. I’m trying to become more handy myself… I have a feeling that i will still ask my pops to come help even if I don’t need it.

I've been using torx bits in lieu of allen wrenches for years. The only reason I like allen wrenches is if they have that ball end.

A man teaching boys who want to be men on how to be a man is probably the best thing that ever happened on the internet

.

I have always found my tool cart to be very handy instead of dragging the tool chest around the shop.
The most handy tools I have used over the last thirty years:
1/4 drive Snap-On air ratchet, great for quick assembly or disassembly of things
curved picks for digging crap out of odd places and working with O-rings
1/2 drive, Snap-On long handled flex head ratchet
Snap-On Ratcheting screwdriver with multi-bit set
pocket slide caliper (what size is this?)
Snap-On stubby wrenches
Blue Point thin head wrenches, great for tight places
Snap-On die setter bar- great for pulling seals and prying
20 inch Snap-On pinch prybar, makes for a great tire tool and small jack handle
Snap-On soft grip hose pick , you would be amazed how handy this odd contraption can be
Snap-On thread chasers
Blue Point tap and die set
Swiss Army knife
Snap-On oval bearing race punch, great for tight places
Blue Point bushing cutter
automatic centering punch
Mini Mag light
small triangle file, great for fixing damaged bolt threads
PB Blaster penetrating oil
Snap-On reverse drill bits for broken bolt removal
various types and sizes of Vise Grip band vise grips, where would we be without Vise Grips?

I think the only tool you missed was a magnetic grabber.

So women should buy different tools 😡

Nail pullers stat

Cody in my personal opinion you are the chuck Norris of Tim the tool man Taylor. I think both Tim Allen and chuck sit at the thrones of aregghh and beam of pride for your efficiency. You are an . Impact demigod sponsored by snap-on

It's called a scratchey pokie thingy

I think that a 1/4 inch drive to 1/4 inch hex adapter is one of the coolest little tools I own. Also, you should ALWAYS have oil. Both an aerosolized and a regular liquid with a relatively precision size tip. 3 in 1 is my go to brand.

8, 10, or 12 point sockets always slip 6 point impact sockets are 10x better

About screwdrivers... have you tried brand called Wera ?

I agree with the snap on, but I’m not an auto mechanic I’m a refrigeration tech, but I do have a couple select Snap-On Tools, and they are just excellent tools all around. When I use my Roto head swivel ratchet, it just hold tight it works. I’ve never had a tooth slip or a gear slip and whenever I’m working with somebody else and they are using it they always say some thing about it positively snap on tools aren’t super common outside of the automotive fields and so a lot of people gonna get them and discount them for their high prices but they really and truly are worth the money. In my opinion it’s just whether or not you can justify the cost. I’ve never put a snap on tool in a guy’s hand who turns wrenches for a living allowed them to use it and then have them hand it back to me and STILL tell me that it’s over priced for what it is.

Snap on owes you for the 35 minute commercial 😂

The first tools I ever bought was a Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set and Torque Wrench from Sears, I've tried other sets over the years but prefer Craftsman. Great tools, great warranty, never had an issue exchanging a tool. If you don't have dimes to drop on Snap On or MAC, you can't go wrong with Craftsman. Just be sure you buy from an authorized seller and register your kit and your good to go.

I use US General rolling tool box and it is the best of both worlds

I always thought it would be neat to have a tape measure

You are missing possibly the most essential tool.. my favorite as a mechanic.. the pocket size mini flat blade screw driver. Most versatile tool in my arsenal… also missing an extending magnet and mirror

As a heavy overhaul railcar mechanic with 30 years turning wrenches...I will say snap on makes good tools, but definitely overrated and severely overpriced. Same with matco and mac..As a homeowner you should spend your money on other things . A good set of kobalt,husky, craftsman ect will do you fine and last forever for what 99% of mechanic work. I have 10k worth of snap on/matco tools at home, but at work I use mostly craftsman tools that Ive had for 20 plus years. Dont wanna lose or break my designer tools lol

As i was watching and listening to you tell the story of the Prodigal Son, I could hear Softly and Tenderly in my mind. I’ve, many like you and I , have heard and/or told this story many times. But I couldn’t help think how many people were hearing this for the first time. I enjoy your channel and appreciate you sprinkling in some Christian education. Every little bit helps. May God Bless

Hey brother im with you on your setup. What about those pliers for opening the retaining rings for a ball joint? The set i got has a replaceable tip that i can use to get the rings of my hubs too.
I swear to buddha they are the best investment ever. Sure, ive used regular pliers and picks etc-but those pliers are so nice and make that last step so easy ill never go back.
Maybe someday ill be able to afford to pay someone to do it for me but until then. Ball joint press is amazing too-paid for itself several times over

Old Craftsman Robogrip pliers 🤌🤌

What is the screwdriver to ratchet attachment called??

An everyday homeowner's toolkit would need woodworking tools.

I would add a cheap $10 Amazon digital caliper.

Im so proud ive been using the same 10mm socket for 3 years now. I did lose my 1/2 inch off that socket set though.

Great video for a traffic jam

Metric is standard it’s only the US that stubbornly makes us have 2 sets of sockets

You are the father figure so many young men and women need, those who lack one. Otherwise, oftentimes they end up being boys and girls for a long time mentally. Dont do everything for you kids, show then and they will learn!

I am a widow that needs to learn more about homestead maintenance, since Papa has passed and those chores fall on me now. May YAH Bless Cody for doing these videos.

A good snap on pocket screwdriver. The most used tool in the cart.

The orange handle pointy screwdriver thing is a "probe" at least thats what we call it on the east coast

Thats called a dead blow hammer with the shot inside of it.

‘Metric and standard’
lol I admire the level of delusion required to think that

Don’t think snapon makes the screwdriver type extensions anymore, but Mac tools makes the screwdriver type extensions still.

Allen key sockets with a 3/8 drill adapter are absolutely essential if your wife won't stop buying stuff from Ikea

Cody, the average homeowner can’t afford “Snap- On”. It would be nice to name off some brands that are good and affordable. God bless😊

I use torx for everything when possible. And i build alot of things myself so around my house torx bolts are found in just about everything.

Cody: Stick to these kind of videos.

Cody I’d say you pretty much got the tools covered. Thank you for your insightfulness I think I’ve got pretty much all that you’ve shown except I’m one of those guys that have the craftsman as my primary and whenever possible picked up the snap on at the yard sales or thrift stores.

Professional homeowners have no business with a half inch sockets 😂 yeah okay! Speak for yourself hun.

Very enjoyable video. Thank you.

Professional homeowner. Jesus Christ

I'm 24 and have basically all those tool and have done full motor swaps and engine replacements with just those tools good advice
