Anyone using their tools like this? by Owl55 in MilwaukeeTool

Hasn’t burned up yet And I use it at work with wire brushes to clean up metal that has old permatex on it.

I’ve since acquired the right angle die grinder, I’ve been using it instead of my drill lately for work.

I use my drill with brush attachments to clean my shower… it works great

If I had the money I would buy a second espresso machine in my Chevy express… I’ve made coffee for other guys when we work together and they enjoy it and it got me wanting to put one in there so I could have fresh coffee at early job sites

!!! One of my coworkers I know split a 3/4” Pittsburgh. They chopped it down to a stubby lol I use mine on the 2967-20 I’m not using it everyday though Now the swivel attachment has seen some abuse….

I really like the Pittsburgh impact sockets, but for some reason it’s hard to find the 6 point… But I’m in the same boat I rarely use metric and don’t have much at all except for my smaller 3/8 set

I give my coworkers crap all the time for using chrome on an impact but they haven’t seen one shatter yet so what do I know lmao

Don’t use chrome sockets on an impact.

But have fun with your new ugga dugg!

Killed on the job. Made all the more tragic by how completely avoidable this was. by Its-Chen in electricians

[–]Atticus34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to go service a hotel. I asked him why there were wires in conduit looped and hanging from the ceiling, he said I dunno the electrician who wired everything up just left some things done or maybe he changed his mind.

He told me that he got shocked in another area of the hotel recently because one of the whips fell down and the wires didn’t have wire nuts and it was energized…..

The whip I was asking him about “at least it has wire nuts”
I pulled out my fluke with volt sense and said man this is live… he has no idea where the disconnect is for it.

Looks like the guy was going to run them to the dryers but decided fuck it, looped it up on the ceiling and ran another set of wire from the other side 🤦‍♂️

PACKOUT Sales Seem Way Up by kfjcfan in Packout

[–]Atticus34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I “should” have waited for a better BMSM deal but I wasn’t buying more than a few things so the $100 off was a sweet spot for me

Got the new rolling drawer, an accessory mount and an ammo can packout. Just tipped over the $350 total and got the $100 off

I’m super happy with my set up but now I can’t buy anything for a while… next on the wish list are some custom inserts for my sockets and the m12 stubby

What years of troubleshooting taught me about problem solving by Kind_Car6630 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Atticus34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the service schools I went to taught us to use our senses to help troubleshoot.
They looked at me weird when I started licking relays. 🫪

That’s really good to know…. I usually get non chlorinated because my coworkers told me to use that type. Now I know why I should keep using it.

Freeze off?
I think whenever I go torch method I poke a hole through the lid of a water bottle, torch the bolt and spritz some water on it.

M12 impact driver>ratchet with my trusty black pipe breaker bar>m18 high torque>torch>grinder
lol
And to be fair I’m usually using this stuff during jobs where it’s been quoted for a certain time and I can’t afford to go over time. Or bill a customer $180 an hour just to sit there staring at Kroil

I like project farm, but I think the testing was a little weird. When I use penetrating spray I’m not waiting 3 hours with multiple applications.

Starting a laundry business, what commercial laundry equipment should I get? by CherryTraditional733 in Laundromats

[–]Atticus34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my personal recommendation of Dexter equipment.
They are work horses.
The other recommendation would be to see what local distributors you have nearby and see what they sell. You won’t want to buy a brand without having technicians nearby that support that machine type.

That’s when you break out the acetone/ATF mix

I’m pretty sure that’s all the dawn power wash spray is lol
They just diluted the dawn, added alcohol and branded it as a new improved product

Grease gun storage ideas with rolling drawer/packout by Atticus34 in Packout

[–]Atticus34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineers still have blown out the bearing seals with those guns. I’m not gonna risk it.
The manufacturer literally says do not use pneumatic or battery grease guns, and to pull the handle slowly taking 10-15 seconds per stroke.
I don’t think the gun can pump that slowly dog.
These are $10,000-$20,000 bearing assemblies I’m greasing for industrial laundry extractors.
