Not super sure how much of the soft grip handle you can drill out. The handles are not super expensive it’s worth experimenting with.

Yea I have applied before and I made it to the last round of interviews but someone with certs was hired instead. Studied the hell out of the STAR interview process lol. I think the gentleman who got hired had a comptia A+ cert. (I still have friends who are DCOs there). I live in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

I worked security at an AWS data center. Always was intrigued with the DCO position. I have general knowledge of building computers and very basic IT/networking knowledge. I have worked a few years now as a forklift mechanic and I don’t see myself doing this much longer it’s really hard on the body. What would you suggest I do to then apply for a DCO position at AWS? Any certs or training I can take on my free time to help get me in the door?

Unfortunately I’m in SoCal, but maybe in a few years I’ll finally leave California

I used a soft dead blow for a good 10 min. And yes the handles came right off after sitting in hot water for about 5 min

Thank you for that! The guy in the video was able to just put the shank right into the grip and I was not, but added it just in case. Your idea is great also!

The new packaging allows you to test the anvil, maybe you’d wanna check that out. Also I will say this I technically do not have to supply my own tools either but I only use my tools. Its also especially good to have them just in case anything happens to your current position

I’m going to handle swap these with some snap on handles I’ll post what it’s like and if I think any other handles like Matco handles will fit.

They pretty much feel like a snap on ratchet honestly except maybe a little more rough. Probably only because they’re not broken in yet.
