$1,000 Budget For EVERY TOOL YOU NEED (And The Box) *Harbor Freight*
Eric picked up this brand new white US General tool box at a pawn shop for just $150 and we decided to fill it up. Today we’re going to build a complete mechanics tool kit for less than $1,000 at Harbor Freight, and then spend a little extra on power tools to make our lives easier.

I had that same problem with two of my 1/4 sockets on the tray. I just through them in the vise and drilled the middle out more. Coming from auto and skid steers, I’d recommend checking out the new 58" prybar, way better price than the trucks
Why does everyone hype up 12 pt sockets? They strip bolts for christ sake.
Cool video. Possibly do a homeowners kit with cart? First tools, essentials, budget minded. That would be cool.
Good setup, I picked up a similar setup last summer and it’s been great. Just today I brought home the 56" series 3 for all of my metalworking tools so I can consolidate stuff shoved everywhere.. Organization is KEY!
You should do a toolbox tour and make suggestions for your audience of what they might consider buying for their diy project Jr sir
This probably sounds bad but… I’ve seen those mechanics tool sets and wondered if they’re junk. My toolbox is full of hodge lodge tools acquired here and there. I’m not a heavy user to Harbor Freight tools would do fine with me. Thanks for posting this! To bad they didn’t give you a discount code we could stack with our Inside Track membership because I’d literally go buy the bundle you and stack my old stuff into a small rolling box to keep on the boat and camper. If they’re good enough for @WatchJRGo, they’re good enough for my use. #harborfreight
Excuse me, did I hear you say Hayabusa Geo Spectrum?
Hercules makes some pretty decent tools. Personally I don’t like 12 points so I try not to buy a set that has them.
Great video!
I stopped watching when you showed us the shit tools
Fav part is that the Hercules 20 V in the Dewalt 20 V systems work interchangeably!
I get all my socket organizers from Temu. I actually purchased 15 for less than $20 including freight. Wrench racks too. Harbor Freight is my go to place. I am an Inside Track Club Member.
My girlfriend says she buys her sex toys at Harbor Freight. Didn’t have the heart to tell her she bought a Jack hammer.
I’m still doing most of my repairs with the same 169pc Channellock tool kit my wife bought me nearly two decades ago. I’ve replaced all the ratchets by now but all those wrenches and sockets and allen keys and bits still see daily use. I’ve added so much from estate sales, garage sales, and Harbor Freight since then. It’s all the little specialty tools that add up over time, but I do wish I had been able to start my collection with the 428 piece Quinn set because it really IS the best starter set out there. Better yet, it’s a tenth the price of what a similar set would cost from a tool truck name brand. If you manage to break a Quinn tool, replace it with the equivalent ICON one. If you manage to break that, go ahead and sign off the kidney for the Snap On version.
put blue tap over the sluts that you don’t have so that way you can easily see what item is still in the vehicle.
"my helmet fell off".😂
You need the Quinn Master impact socket set.
I’m about an hour from Boston. The wind has been crazy lately
At work when I’m a “professional” I use mostly snap on. In my home shop where I work on stuff and make my YouTube videos I use a lot of harbor freight tools. They are pretty good.
Next trip to HF, pick up the flex head Pittsburgh 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets. You will not regret it.
You guys realize that you could buy the us general power extension center in like 4 different colors and they are magnetic and use the Christmas tree bit and take the lower drawer out and cut the hole in the back of the box and the drawer and put the power extension center in the back of the drawer and plug it in and wahla a power drawer in the tech cart
Did you get those magnetic wrench holders at HF? Awesome setup btw love the red white and blue 🇺🇲
Reminds me I need to Jordan Peterson my garage and clean my room.
Where are you at in Kansas?? I’m in Olathe!
I grew up around a lot of tweekers that were great at taking things apart but never putting them back together, they would have loved those harbor freight carts! Your customers must be extremely satisfied!
When you have to replace H.F. Batteries, stay away from the 2ah they go dead fast. 5ah works for me.
The Icon ratchet wreenches are the best thing since sliced bread. use em all the time
did it have every size? or miss the 16 like a lot of harbor freight sets…. but they include something like a 9/11’ths or some shit…… lol
is there any way for you to set up commission links? i for sure would have used your link for a couple things you showed if there was one.
You have the sockets upside down in those organizers
Kind of surprised the ratcheting wrench didn’t go up to 18mm.
I don’t care what you say you CANNOT GO WRONG WITH HarborFreight I love their tools
Sorry hercules n quinn is garbage. You were better off buying the $99 husky mechanic set from home depot
GOOD TOOLS
I have the brushed 18 v bauer drill 1/2 inch Dr and the impact gun of the same thing,, and the DeWalt 1/4 inch impact driver and now a home Depot deal 18v mainline Milwaukee 1/2 inch Dr and 1/4 inch impact Driver…. So several different brands of power tools..so several different chargers
Harbor Freight has moved above Home Depot and Lowes in DIY tool quality in my opinion. They (smartly) changed their business model about 10 years ago, and it has been a win/win for
the homeowner/DIY crowd.
Any of HF’s ICON, US General, Hercules, or Quinn offerings are better than Husky, Kobalt, Rigid, or Ryobi in my opinion.
Great vid, and nice set-ups!
Take some color matched paint pens to those sockets and make them pop (but also make them easy to read for when your on your 14th hour of the day!)
You haven’t seen anything until you go to Canadian tire on a sale week
picked up the same kit, same rails. and that 9/16 wont sit just like yours lol
Plus 4000 dollar scanner 😄
Totally geeking out on sockets, love it 😂
No screwdrivers?
Your putting in the sockets upside. Thats why.
I believe harbor freight is coming after snap on and the tool trucks business?
The only problem with the Quinn tool set is the lack of slip joint and needle nose pliers.
Just missing some e torx for the euros.
I like these videos
Nicely done. Have you put something together for a "charge shelf"? Something where you have all your batteries getting charged?
Love The Video. I Love Harbor Freight. Heres My set up

Aww "it’s just Eric" 😂
This is exactly what I did a few months ago just starting out as a mechanic. I love the Quinn set and the cordless ratchet. I skipped out on the impacts tho and saved up for Milwaukee mid torque.
My box is orange too!
