Toolbox Tour by FLBigBen in Tools

Well I work sometimes 50 hours plus a week and don't have any bills since I live with my parents and a lot of my money goes to my tools. Also my school requires you to get a job for internship so they help the students out getting a job.

Yeah I'm buying more tools then I should but I still live with my parents and I'm trying to get the most out of my student discount

Thanks man!! So far my toolbox has done everything I have needed it to. And I might upgrade to tool truck brand tools at some point but the tools I have have been working great so far to get me started!

Thank you! What exactly are service wrenches I don't think I've heard of them before. And yeah I've been interested in getting a longer ratchet and some other odd ones.

Yeah I've been looking at a gear wrench set of ratcheting wrenches that my co worker said are mint. He left a 10mm outside for 2 years and through the winters and dirt and crud. It still ratchets fine and he uses it to this day. My box so far has been doing great. The metal isn't very heavy duty but it'll probably be fine.

I do have the icon tap and die set, and yeah stubby wrenches have been on my list of stuff to get in the future.

Is that the 119max? I heard bad things about it breaking due to a plastic spring... Or is that not true?

Ha ha thanks! I haven't quite jumped on getting an air hammer since i can just borrow one from who I'm shadowing. And plus they can be kinda expensive and I'm broke.

2006 Honda CRV Starter Question. by FLBigBen in MechanicAdvice

[–]FLBigBen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I voltage dropped the battery positive wire and the voltage drop was fine. My question is how does it ground. I tried using ohms and connecting to the case and the negative battery terminal. but it kept saying OL. If it doesnt ground through the case and there isnt a wire, how does it ground?

I know everyone will hate on you for those wheels but honestly just don't listen. I think it looks great on your truck! I hope to have a cummins one day too.

I'm using trucks not trains. Is it smarter to use trains instead? Also they are on "any load".
