My friends joke about me having a tool fetish. I definitely can watch a full breakdown of your toolbox. It’s always nice to know what tools i can buy to enjoy twice in my life.
-
Can you do a similar video on tools to avoid/ ones you eventually got rid of? I really enjoy trying to keep a minimal toolset but the world is full of tools that claim to solve problems
-
2 things I’ve come to appreciate: Step drills; awesome to open up any hole size just a bit. Some garden hose on vice grips. Great for clamping off any soft hose like a radiator hose or fuel line.
-
I Would definitely be keen on a full toolbox tour, even a look over welding equipment and power tools.
-
You may not be able to sharpen those step style drill bits but if they became too blunt you can always grind them into a regular drill bit and give them a second life
-
If anyone reading this does Carpentry … the company, Tajima, that he mentions regarding the 1/4” bits… best chalk lines and caulking guns ever made. It’s insane how good they are relative to the standard.
-
I'd be happy if Benny broke the internet doing a tool box tour.
-
I'm mostly a woodworker but this is the same: starting with a cheaper tool can show you if it's useful in your shop. If it's not, no big loss. If you find you're using a tool on a regular basis, it might make sense to upgrade to a better version.... usually when it breaks.
-
I hit pause 5 times and put 5 tools, all for around a tenner, in my Amazon basket that I know are going to make my life better 😊👍

Thanks for the tip on and adjustable AN wrench. I didn't know about the nut size differences. For brake stuff, I've grown to love my locking adjustable wrench. Stanley 85-610. They have smooth jaws. All the others that I've seen have serrated jays and they will gouge soft fittings. Good for holding things while grinding too.
-
I have been replacing a lot of suspension components lately. Dead-blow hammer, pry-bar, breaker bar, 3 jaw puller and press tools and torque wrenches.
-
Crows foot spanners are also in impact grade too when all the leverage is needed too but have never had a normal one fail yet
-
I love tools and this video was great! Do more of these. I cant be the only one who is obsessed with tools.
-
Magnet bar tool holders that mount on the wall, great time saver for high use stuff
-
After seeing a Milwaukee youtube ad for Step Drills, I bought a set the next day. The best thing ever. I would like to see more of Benny's workshop tools.
-
Impressed by that drill but set. I hadn’t heard of these. Always good to know of a high quality drill bit set.
-
I went out and almost immediately (after picking my jaw up off the floor) bought one of those radiator funnels after seeing it on your channel some years ago. Yes, they are amazing!
-
One of my favourites is the rivnut gun. Handy bit of gear.
-
Transmission mechanic here. My top 5 tools would be: Impact gun with a 3/8 socket adapter- makita is my brand, electric ratchet - I have Milwaukee and Matco, a good set of picks - anything with a lifetime warranty but I have snap on, flexible magnetic socket organizers - I have ezred. They really are convenient to move around while you work, Long shank, flex head, offset ratcheting wrenchs - mine are Platinum branded - I think they are sold under Mountain now, but Matco and Harbor Freight also have them. They are my favorite hand tool and one of the best investments in my tools box
-
The screwdriver with socket on end is called nut drivers. With the hex key sockets the best tool is the 1/4" screwdriver which can make getting screws out quicker. For dash work the 450 mm long 1/4" extension makes life so much easier. They aren't common, one of the few tools I had to buy Stahl Wille brand.
