The CAR WIZARD can't live without these tools! 10 tools essential to running a mechanic's shop.

that crank pulley bolt. ive looked online, so many searches and cannot find it. can you provide a more specific make and model or exact tool name if its called something different. I really need one of those

Wizard: I seriously doubt that your jumper pack is capable of 2000 amps I am NOT saying it isn't...because I don't even know it's manufacturer's name but the size of the pack & the small cable size
suggests to me that it is unlikely to supply 2000 amps. All that having been said, I own 2 of these packs & they work just fine, so whether yours will supply the alleged current or not is academic. Your list of tools is right on the money. Your advice on what to buy or not buy, regarding vehicles, engines, or whatever to avoid is excellent Thank you sir ! Cheers! Brian

My family has a farm and those lithium battery jump starters are VERY useful.
Lots of machines and vehicles that don't get used often so there batteries are going flat, saves money too because if you've got a machines or vehicle that you don't use often that has a bad battery (for example doesn't start after a few days of sitting) then you won't have to spend hundreds on a new battery just for the new battery to sit degrading for months at a time.
Can simply just jump the half dead battery for the occasional use the vehicle gets.

Those hose pliers also double really well as a set of small fingers for depressing wire harness clips that are hard to reach.

Been wanting an electric hammer much like an air hammer for a while now @milwaukee

Even 10 times a year is 10 times nobody has to dodge a wrench, that's value.

Perhaps you can do an updated 2023 version of this video? 🚗🔧🪛

Preferring to be more like a surgeon than a butcher, I use my Dremel 8220-2/28 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool Kit, along with a Dremel EZ456B 1-1/2" EZ Lock Rotary Tool Cut-Off Wheel, to remove inner-races from wheel hubs. The smaller more controllable cut-off wheel enables me to remove races without leaving a scratch on hubs.

My best tip that body men know but most mechanics don't is to have dum dum (3M strip caulk) in the shop to hold nuts in sockets and Philips screws on the tips of screw drivers. Works great for assembling and is reasonable.

i bet the last one is product placement but wizard is one of the few people who ill let advertise to me

A special thanks to Mrs wizard for the hose pull....

I see u take your job real serious and you treat n work on 🚗 as if they were your own plus you have a lotta of patience as a mechanic 💪💪💪💪

My number one rule......there's no such thing as a "one time use" tool

That scan tool sounds awesome. I have an old MItsubishi Fuso as a personal work truck and nobody in my area knew how to work on them, so its nice to see that there is some support out there for them.

You did not mention the gas axe !

#4 is called?

I use mountains on drive belt auto tensioners. I dont have a drive belt wrench set, and never have issues. Sometimes they like to stay attached, so reverse the drive and wiggle and the mountain wrench comes free with no struggle. That's a good set, even for DIY or occasionial wrenching. It'll save your body and hands. Worth every penny for that alone. Not to mention frustration, you cant put a price on removing frustration. Cheers 🍻

The Noco GB 150 is a real beast too

YOu should have links to these tools in your Amazon store in your description....

My alternator went out on my home the other day and i hooked up my noco gnius and made it 25 miles home with traffic and its saved my ass many many times at work jumping off heavy duty construction equipment

Sorry for the dumb question, what what is a car?

U are great source of knowledge wizard

I'm really surprised to not see long reach 45 degree bent nose pliers.

$2000 battery booster. Sure

My Dad who was a mechanic always insisted that every vehicle have a crescent wrench, a 7/16, a 9/16 and a 1/2 inch combination wrench (box and Crows foot ends), a pair of slip joint pliers, a pair of side cutter pliers, a pair of needle nosed pliers, a pair of good quality slot and Phillips screwdrivers, a pair of jumper cables and a tow chain. Of course you also needed a jack, lug wrench and a four way wrench. Back in the 60's, 70's and into the 80's a good backyard mechanic could generally get a vehicle repaired so it could either make it to a shop, or back on its way. With the simple hand tools a trained could just about rebuild any vehicle.
He also impressed on me to get the best quality tools I could afford. He had a set of SK wrench's and sockets that he got when he was in the Navy during WW II. Those wrench's did the job for him, my brother and myself for over 60 years until I lost them in a forced move.

I really need this #4 tool to hammer loose the crank pull bolt, where can I buy this tool? can not wait to use this tool. thank you Mr wizard

2000 amps on that tiny wire yeah right maybe 550 if it’s 4 AWG. IF the pack had only 12v, 1 ft distance, 2000 amps would require 3/0 AWG OFC. Plus even some of the best cells that you could use are not rated or 2k amps.

Those jump packs have ratings like boss audio ar amplifiers 😂

Your videos score pretty high in all the indexes that matter to me: 1) You're a pleasant person. You don't come across as a know-it-all, just someone who has accumulated a lot of knowledge and is willing to share. 2) I suspect a lot of your advice to a lot of your viewers is already somewhat known to them, but they don't mind hearing it again because [see reason #1 above] plus they are curious about your take on topic. 3) You frequently bring a new possible solution to the table for people.

edit: 4) High level production values. Good sound, clear images.
