We’re nearing the peak of the holiday season, which means you’ve likely got a bit of [vacation time](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31592/live-flight-tracking-map-shows-us-skies-are-full-on-a-record-holiday-travel-weekend>) to catch up on wrenching in your garage. But should you take a break and feel like [getting into the holiday spirit](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31598/ditch-the-yule-log-this-christmas-and-enjoy-two-full-hours-of-ford-mustang-hoonicorn-action>), one mechanic-turned-maestro wants to remind everyone that you can do so by diving into your toolbox.

You might not think much of it when a tool clanks on the concrete, but it does produce a musical note. Round up the right combination of wrenches and you have yourself a full-fledged DIY orchestra of sorts. That's what Brandon Anderson did, creating a viral video hit in the process.

Anderson used the wrenches to play *Jingle Bells* and the result is pleasantly surprising. Much like a xylophone does, the smaller, lighter wrenches produce higher musical notes while the larger, heavier ones produce lower notes. Arrange them in the right order and voilà—you have a true gearhead's way to wishing everyone a [Merry Christmas](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/25619/seasons-greetings-from-a-217-mph-ferrari-laferrari-aperta-hauling-a-christmas-tree>). Well, almost.

And of course, you could probably find a way to mash up the noises other tools make for a quick tune, too. Although, if you're counting on the 10 mm to play a pivotal part, you might have to look elsewhere.

On that note, have [a happy holiday](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31425/drifting-around-a-christmas-tree-is-the-best-way-to-decorate-this-holiday-season>) from all of us here at *The Drive.* May your projects get finished and your [turbos be gigantic](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31540/this-gigantic-turbo-thats-rated-for-5500-horsepower-exists-and-of-course-you-need-it>).
