hey guys chrisfix here and this is my
second annual top five Christmas gift
ideas for car guys car girls car
enthusiasts whatever you want to call
yourselves I do a lot of work on many
different cars all year long so I get to
test out a lot of different products
which help me with my car fixes so
everything that I've picked out here to
share with you guys are all products I
actually like to use and you've probably
seen me use in my videos the goal for
this video is to try to help you find
the perfect gift for you or for somebody
else heck all these things are gifts
that I would love to get so this might
be a video you want to share with
somebody as a helpful hint and finally
all the gift ideas that I show you in
this video will be linked down in the
description so you could easily find it
you could check out the reviews and you
can see how much it costs so let's get
started and real quick
I want to thank all my fans it's been an
amazing year and for you guys have some
awesome swag between soapy water
stickers hats t-shirts bumper stickers
keychains you can find all this stuff on
my website I'll link it in the
description just wanted to quickly
mention that thank you now let's go open
up some presents gift idea number one
what do we have here this is exciting
it's just like Christmas and check it
out a 3d printer this is a cool gift now
everybody's used to printing a sheet of
paper but with the 3d printer you can
print physical objects like this wrench
now as somebody who works on their car a
lot there are a ton of useful car
products that you can print with this so
let's say you're having a hard time
removing an oil filter well we can
easily print out your own oil filter
wrench instead of going to the store so
now you could go and remove your oil
filter with your own homemade oil filter
wrench but it gets even cooler how about
a custom shift knob for your car I
printed this custom carbon fiber and for
you shift knob for my Mustang that
screws right on so now you can roll
through the gears with a 3d printed
shift knob and as you roll through the
gears you could use your 3d printed
GoPro case to hold your GoPro I even
customized mine with part of my logo so
you can really print anything you could
think of these pesky trim clips that
hold the interior pieces together a
plastic gasket scraper even a drill bit
sharpener that fits on the end of a
rotary tool and for those of you who
don't know I love to fish so I made my
very own 3d printed fishing lure and it
works awesome
like this out I've caught yellow perch
largemouth bass and even a rainbow trout
using this lure so there's a lot of
different products that you can make
with a 3d printer and I'll tell you one
thing not only is it cool because you
print your own tools and car parts but
it's useful and fun which is why it
makes my list so let's move on to the
next gift idea actually we have
something new this year I'm going to be
including some inexpensive stocking
stuffers all right so let's see what we
got for our first stocking stuffer
cleaning wipes just what I always wanted
kidding aside I use these wipes all the
time these wipes work great to get your
hands clean just to show you I have some
anti-seize and we all know once you use
this it somehow finds its way everywhere
maybe your tightening a bolt so it gets
on your tools as well and these towels
work well to clean all that a nice ease
off your hands not only that they don't
have any grit in them so they're not
abrasive so you could use it on your
tools I see a lot of guys using break
clean on their tools so this is a good
alternative and it's what I use and the
best part is these things are
inexpensive so they make great stocking
stuffers all right now let's move on to
gift idea number two
[Music]
anyone with tools needs a toolbox like
this even if they already have toolbox
these little portable toolboxes are
great my favorite thing about these even
though they're small they still have
plenty of room to fit a bunch of tools I
use this all the time here's all the
stuff that's kind of like the
miscellaneous stuff that might not
necessarily fit in the drawers and the
first drawer I have a bunch of sockets
the second one I have a bunch of pliers
and the third one have a bunch of
wrenches it's all disorganized just
because I've been using it so much
lately but I like this so much that I
got another one and I'm pretty excited
for getting this toolbox because I've
been using a tool bag for all my
electrical supplies and it's just it's
overflowing and whoever you get this
word is going to use it all the time I
just threw this together with all my
electrical stuff and it already keeps it
way more organized and I've been using
these boxes for years non-stop that's
why it's one of my top 5 Christmas gift
ideas so let's go check out to see what
our stocking stuffer is and what do we
have here
perfect a breaker bar now going along
with our tool boxes here everybody needs
a good breaker bar I use this all the
time and by all the time I mean really
all the time so time to use a breaker
bar with your breaker bar long breaker
bars on a breaker bar so you're gonna
need a breaker bar with the breaker bar
you get the breaker bar in there nice
long breaker bars I'm gonna try using
the breaker bar with our breaker bar I'm
using a breaker bar so use a breaker bar
the breaker bar
we'll get the breaker bar on it break it
loose as you could tell these breaker
bars help with the job significantly
they're very useful they're almost
necessary for not using power tools and
they're great because they're
inexpensive which is why I picked it out
as a good stocking stuffer alright let's
move on to gift idea number 3 let's see
it we got
open this up first all right so we got
some oil filter pliers those are always
useful and this bag is pretty heavy so
we got in here so we have a ton of
different pliers and this is a perfect
gift idea now most of us already have
pliers but there are so many different
types of pliers which is why this makes
it such a good Christmas gift idea you
can get wire stripper pliers you could
get oil filter pliers you get crimping
pliers side cutters these that I just
used in a recent video where I was
parting my Jaguar and it really helped
me remove those hose clamps you have
long pliers you have short pliers
there's just so many different types
you'll always find something new that
you could use plus with all these
different types of pliers you can now
use that new toolbox that you get and
you can come up with a really cool gift
package that anybody would love where
you put the tools in the toolbox imagine
the look on their face when they open up
their new toolbox and see it filled with
tools so all the different types of
pliers you could get is why it makes my
top 5 gift ideas let's go check out our
next stocking stuffer oh I hope it's not
coal just what I needed a tire air
pressure gauge now if you or the person
that you're getting the gift for likes
gadgets this is perfect for them and
I've been using it all the time I've
been going to the track recently and on
the track it's very important to know
your tire pressure and set it
accordingly
I'm learning how to drift so there's
certain tire pressures for the front
tires versus the rear tires and that's
where this comes in handy because you
could actually save the tire pressure
for each tire so check this out let's do
the passenger front tire just unscrew
the cap hit the power button we're doing
the front right tire 32 psi so this tire
pressure gauge is a really good idea for
a stocking stuffer now let's move on to
gift idea number four that is right here
what do we get and if you're wondering I
can't wrap like this this came out
awesome big thanks to my mom for helping
me out let's do it we got here
oh man this is a good one this is one
that I've been using behind the scene
for almost a year now
and it's just absolutely awesome so I
can't wait to show you guys and we have
an impact gun this thing is beefy it's
heavy and it is strong 1,100 foot-pounds
of torque
removal power and it comes with two
batteries but really you only need one
check this out
if you see my recent video on how to
strip a car for parts well I've been
using this impact gun for this whole job
it's taken multiple days it's been
really cold out and I've removed a whole
bucket full of fasteners yet let's go
check the battery power on this I've
used a single battery and it's at half
battery power so you're able to strip a
whole car and only use half the battery
and although you don't see me use it on
the channel I like to use common hand
tools that most people have if you or
somebody you're getting this for fixes
cars a lot you can easily remove bolts
real quickly and let me show you that
right now
actually I got a little note from Santa
he said to check the stocking so let's
go do that all right just what we needed
for these impact guns now you want to
impact socket set because these impact
sockets are made of a special material
that's designed to be used with an
impact gun I have two different impact
guns here so check it out these lug nuts
haven't been removed in a while and it
comes right off and the orange one takes
a little bit longer but it still works
just fine so both of these impact guns
are great
this one is more powerful but it is also
more expensive this one is less powerful
less expensive if you work on cars or
the person you're getting the gift for
works on cars that would love to see
this under their tree which is why it
makes my gift idea list and with that we
are on our last Christmas gift idea
let's see what we got what are we
thinking
all right torque wrenches now a torque
wrench is a perfect gift idea for
anybody who likes to work on their own
car you can see they come in different
sizes and what these do is these allow
you to tighten down your bolts and nuts
to the correct tightness so you don't
over tighten them and damage the threads
or break a bowl and so you don't under
tighten them and then the bolt comes off
and I use these all of the time now grab
your torque wrench gets torqued down to
25 pound feet of torque and in this case
I'm torquing them to 100 and then we're
going to grab our torque wrench then
torque it down to 40 foot pounds let's
talk them down to 25 foot-pounds now
we're going to take our torque wrench
we're going to get our torque wrench
grab our torque wrench okay and I think
you get the idea
torque wrenches help you do the job
safely they help you do the job properly
and that is why it's one of my top 5
Christmas gift ideas now that's all 5
gift ideas but we have one thing left
and that is stocking stuffers it looks
like we got a ton and this gives a stuff
stocking let's see it we get looks like
we have some car soap
and some microfiber towels I'm sensing a
trend here
my favorite wax sealer ooh this is a
good one a microfiber wash mitt and
finally a foam cannon now anybody who
gets one of these is going to love it so
all of these car cleaning items are
things I use actually used it in the
super cleaning video the foam cannon is
by far one of the coolest gifts with the
foam cannon you're able to spray a thick
layer of foam all over your car which is
going to help you clean and I mean if
you guys haven't seen that super clean
video that it did my Mustang went from
this to this so all these products do
work I highly recommend them it's stuff
that I use and these are all great
stocking stuffer ideas alright and those
