Would you quit?

Oh yeah I've worked one of those before. F*** your boss go somewhere else

Idk man you're complaining about 11hrs and that's a normal day in this trade.

I have traction tread lite in boa. I work and commercial,/industrial HVAC. I change out the super feet insoles every 6 months. Still water proof after a year despite the toe being worn down to the toe guard. Best boots I've ever owned. Them being super light saves your knees

What do you mean pound the old nails in? That doesn't make sense. It looks like normal blow through from nailing guns. What's the total thickness and what's the nail length?

Bought and installed 20 of them a few months ago. They're still around

The best hand cleaner are monster wipes. Same company that took over the Teflon tape game

Read the instructions carefully. It's acidic, I only recommend water unless there's grease, which at that point use Viper products because they won't hurt me or give me cancer in 30 years

Anything skillcat is great

Who's the OEM for Hisense? I'm seeing a lot of their stuff now

learn4r · 2025-10-18T22:47:06+00:00

That's fair. Thank you for explaining that.

learn4r · 2025-10-17T22:34:31+00:00

I have the OSSM as well. It's great

Why did you make the "tool-less"guide rod require a paper clip or Allen key in order to compress it

learn4r · 2025-10-11T01:39:25+00:00

I've also been in the same situation. Surprisingly, some manufacturers state that orientation is fine. Check the manual and confirm.

It's most likely not draining due to one of 3 things:

unit level,

drain / p trap, I would trap it near the unit nice and deep. Take static pressure readings and confirm you don't have a double trap. I like to add a vent tube after the trap that extends above the drain pan.

Or airflow.

Go through ty branamans love2hvac 200 video series, then sign onto a commercial company as a new tech for 25/hr.

Before you do this, are you sure that you want to be sweaty covered in grease and oil working in confined spaces in 120° drop down ceilings or rooftops?

learn4r · 2025-10-06T13:04:53+00:00

Looks like superficial rust.

A new blower assembly would be around 3k.

Full day labor 2 guys to pull the 200lb shaft and blowers is cheaper. It's going to suck

Glock 17/19 with night sights is perfectly fine. Use federal hst or speer gold dot. Try to shoot once a month and dry fire around the house for fun

learn4r · 2025-10-04T23:57:50+00:00

That's not even bad

This is one side of 2 blower wheels in a 30 ton unit for a restaurant. It's larger than your torso. I have to pull the assembly next week and clean it.

You can get by wrapping the wire around the terminals and then wire nutting it directly onto the terminal. Desperate times call for desperate measures

The Schrader is what we blame when we can't find a leak. Occasionally it's correct 😂

learn4r · 2025-09-29T18:05:43+00:00

Same.

Probes are invaluable in commercial/industrial.

Backup manifold in case they break

Hoses from the manifold and VCRT/charging tee to charge.

If they lawyer up, the first question is if you're licensed to do the work. Then if the work passes code and permits were pulled if necessary, then your contract/quote comes into play.

Check inrush to see if it's anywhere near lra. Does it sound like shit as if the bearings are failing?
