$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.

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!
The only problem with the Quinn tool set is the lack of slip joint and needle nose pliers.
Well i like tool unboxing now. What a world 30 creates
Reminds me I need to Jordan Peterson my garage and clean my room.
The Icon ratchet wreenches are the best thing since sliced bread. use em all the time
Nicely done. Have you put something together for a "charge shelf"? Something where you have all your batteries getting charged?
You haven’t seen anything until you go to Canadian tire on a sale week
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
Plus 4000 dollar scanner 😄
Did you get those magnetic wrench holders at HF? Awesome setup btw love the red white and blue 🇺🇲
Cool video. Possibly do a homeowners kit with cart? First tools, essentials, budget minded. That would be cool.
I can tell you you’re gonna love that box. My friend who is a mechanic for years has owned one of these. It’s battered, abused and overloaded for God knows how long and the drawers and casters are still smooth
Excuse me, did I hear you say Hayabusa Geo Spectrum?
I’m 17 and I’ve owned my harbor freight tools for almost a year and take good care of them, and honestly I love them, never had any issues apart from my 10mm deep well impact socket not fitting 10mm but other than that they’re solid tools
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.
Where are you at in Kansas?? I’m in Olathe!
I stopped watching when you showed us the shit tools
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 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
Kind of surprised the ratcheting wrench didn’t go up to 18mm.
Next trip to HF, pick up the flex head Pittsburgh 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets. You will not regret it.
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!
You have the sockets upside down in those organizers
I have this set. Plus I added the 93 piece wrench set from kolbalt.
And the husky non slip wrench set.
And the master driver set from Lowe’s kolbalt.
300 for Quinn
125 for kolbalt
55 for non slip
79.00 for hex and torx.
I like these videos
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!
Fav part is that the Hercules 20 V in the Dewalt 20 V systems work interchangeably!
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
Aww "it’s just Eric" 😂
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!)
I believe harbor freight is coming after snap on and the tool trucks business?
You need the Quinn Master impact socket set.
Why does everyone hype up 12 pt sockets? They strip bolts for christ sake.
When you have to replace H.F. Batteries, stay away from the 2ah they go dead fast. 5ah works for me.
Just missing some e torx for the euros.
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.
No screwdrivers?
GOOD TOOLS
Jrgo a Army soldier or veteran if not you should not put Army on it
Your putting in the sockets upside. Thats why.
I’m about an hour from Boston. The wind has been crazy lately
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.
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.
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.
I don’t care what you say you CANNOT GO WRONG WITH HarborFreight I love their tools
From personal experience the 1/2" will even take off semi truck wheels and the yokes that go on the differentials
Sorry hercules n quinn is garbage. You were better off buying the $99 husky mechanic set from home depot
"my helmet fell off".😂
Love The Video. I Love Harbor Freight. Heres My set up
