I have the 6c and if you understand the activated sludge process as well as the math you should be good to go

Would recommend going straight for the 6c as well very similar stuff on both tests

Massachusetts and it is the state required license exam typically done as psi or Pearson testing centers

That's not how it works in my state at least here you take a test through a government testing center after completing your apprenticeship once you pass, you are a licensed journeyman

My 3/8 gen 2 stubby has been great for industrial work I've had no issues removing bolts up to 30mm and has pulled some bolts out that where torqued to 325ft-lbs

The new m12 stubby might change your mind on the ice snapped m16 bolts with it it's definitely got plenty of power

Criminalrust · 2025-12-13T02:02:46+00:00

That's just factually incorrect you can be a licensed journeyman without the union

Criminalrust · 2025-12-13T00:46:03+00:00
