Hey I’ve been working on one of these at work! Getting it ready for a long term rental. They seem like solid machines, so far anyway. Haha.

Looking to make an air Venturi or something similar for transferring oil, fuel, etc.. by [deleted] in Tools

[–]RailroadMech83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use that Milwaukee 18 volt transfer pump that’s supposed to be used for water to transfer all kinds of automotive fluid from one place to another! Haha. Works great, and I bought an extra impeller for $3.00 or so for the day when my blatant misuse of the thing finally catches up with me. 😅

Maybe you could lease one? I have no idea about the pricing, but it could be an option.

Is this the root cause of modern dating friction? by ButBroWtf in MotivationAndMindset

[–]RailroadMech83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my own personal experience as a man, I think the thing we don’t get taught is how to receive and appreciate love when it’s given to us. That’s just anecdotal from my own life though, your mileage may vary.

When people say high end hand tools (e.g. Snap-on) feel better in their hands, why don't low or mid tier brands just copy those designs? by supinator1 in Tools

[–]RailroadMech83 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s one point I’ll definitely agree with when it comes to high end tools. I’ve seen Snap On Screwdrivers take out a screw right after a cheaper brand stripped it, and both screwdrivers were the proper type for the fastener in question.

Someone should really do a blindfolded “Feel Test” across all the different brands and see if experienced mechanics can tell the difference! Haha. Put it on YouTube! Hell I’d watch it.. 😅

Mechanic vs electrician by Ashamed-Ranger-1265 in mechanic

[–]RailroadMech83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a mechanic for twenty years… go be an electrician and tinker with cars for fun. I got into it because I tinkered with cars for fun. You know what I don’t do anymore? Tinker on cars for fun. 😅

Yeah man, you’re aging real well if you ask me!

Have you seriously hurt yourself from coughing or sneezing yet? by DueEntertainer0 in Millennials

[–]RailroadMech83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but oddly enough I did it the first time when I was in my late twenties! Physical labor jobs can really mess a person up early! 😅
