So what tools do i use to fix Toyota and Lexus at my shop? In this video I give you a full tour of the blue tool box that you’ve seen since day one on the channel.
I am somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to tools and one of those mechanics that believe tools are one of the means to fix cars. Knowledge and experience plays a larger role.
These tools took over a decade to accumulate and are used daily in my Toyota and Lexus specialist shop.
If you are a mechanic just starting out in the field, focus on the tools you need rather than the tools that will impress the mechanics you work with. You don’t have a spend a small fortune on tools. Buy what you need and little by little you’ll have a full set that will last you a life time.
If you are a DIY mechanic some of the more expensive tools will not make sense because you won’t have the use for them, however invest in quality basic tools that will last you a life time as well.
The most important thing about tools is the warranty they carry. In the past life time warranty used to be reserved for the professional tools however lately many companies are offering quality tools with life time warranty at an affordable price that makes sense for DIY mechanics.

Very good collection of tools,sir can I recommend you try Stahlwille tool set, they are expensive but they are very good and handy.
Koken tools USA screw drivers have been amazing to me so far I would recommend them alot.
I expect the electrical series
Is there a reason you went mostly Snap On instead of other brands like Matco?
It's music to my ears to hear amd talk about just about anything. Thank you for the tool tour, hopefully we get to see some of those niche tools you have, get put to work.

Another good video from Adm………Thank-you Sir! I salute you for the wonderful video's and please keep it coming!!
10 12 14 17 are the major ones used
Tools are a very emotional purchase. They are an extension of your hand. They save you a lot of time and can be the difference between doing the job and not being able to do it.
One tool that I also have that you skipped over was the brass cube disk brake piston tool.
I have a set of hinge drill bits. They are great for centering holes on broken bolts. Maybe a little unorthodox for car repairs but I love them.
A video I would like to see you do is removing brake caliper pins that are severely seized. This happens quite a bit in the rust belt. You must have an excellent technique.
What a NEAT setup! I will go to my man cave next week to clean and re-arrange everything. By the way, I slowly moved from Milwaukee to Makita. Battery will outlast any brand.
Thanks AMD, I know you have done some UTs on moderate cost DIY diagnostic scanners. It would be appreciated , if there has been any significant updates on what is available today. Thanks
