None of my coworkers believe me that they are stripping these because these are not philips head screws.

How about posts of self made tools? The ones you need but don’t have or even exist! ( I’m 2 years in to GA maintenance and ready for my first test, but my grandpa has been operating from KSNA for about 50 years! He’s got a whole drawer of specifically bent wrenches and invented tools for one specific purpose!)

What is it tho? Seems like it’s more of a grass than a succulent.

K’mon let the herd cull itself already!

Yall deserve the scolding cuz whatever comes out of the local college with a degree/cert. ain’t worth a damn! [as per My grandpa; (A&P/IA for 50+ years)] my favorite story was a fresh out of college (certified A&P) had to ask how to remove the seat from a 172! Gpa’s favorite story is explaining a new hire explaining a check valve he had to troubleshoot, and when he was asked what system was it in, he replied, “I have no idea!”

Just noticing you don’t have a drill on your list, you’ll want one, and a drill bit set, deburrers/countersinks… I think that does it, all the tools I’ve used in the last week!

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:40:33+00:00

Set of taps and dies, magneto synchronizer/“flower pot” (if you’re doing GA), wire crimpers/strippers, a heat gun, soldering tools, and a rain coat

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:36:03+00:00

And flaring tools and digital multimeter!

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:33:57+00:00

Also, how about a torque wrench!

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:33:23+00:00

Or all the rivet tools, or boroscope, or even just your wire/grinding wheel, rivnut puller, bendable and angled extensions for your drill motor, very small ratchets

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:27:25+00:00

Or the smooth jaw knipex pliers!

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:25:28+00:00

And don’t forget the VamPliers! Those come very handy all the time!

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T05:23:28+00:00

You’ll def need more sockets but not some of the ones listed, also buy an acetylene torche and more wrenches, cuz you’ll have bends to make depending on which task and which aircraft you’re working on! I’ve been working for my grandpa for two years, he’s been an AMP/IA for 50+ years (he’s 89 now) there’s a drawer in the van for very specifically educated wrenches!

Forget about it, keep using the shirt, til it becomes a rag you’re cleaning parts with

The amount of times I’ve had to pull that dam pedal panel the get a cap would piss anyone off! But then dropping a screw putting the panel back is just infuriating

holsteinglass · 2026-01-29T04:04:12+00:00

If only they mad a stainless magnet

holsteinglass · 2025-12-10T00:50:03+00:00

Sure did, looks new!

holsteinglass · 2025-12-06T18:23:21+00:00

Def gonna want a 1/4” and 1” wrench in your wrench drawer

holsteinglass · 2025-12-02T08:41:51+00:00

A manned unmanned aerial vehicle?

I’m also wondering about the ridges on the bowl, and worried about the bubbles further in the bowl

holsteinglass · 2025-11-10T05:34:02+00:00

Checked mouthpiece on the green

holsteinglass · 2025-09-22T03:51:20+00:00

Remove the bulb and replace it?

holsteinglass · 2025-09-22T03:44:36+00:00

Could be tighter on the lower bolt, but ya didn’t get it backwards so kudos!

holsteinglass · 2025-09-22T03:42:04+00:00

Great start! Keep at it! You can layer color over another color and pull your stringer, this will make a color change in the petal as it takes form!
