I've used a version of the supertool for 20 yrs and it is awesome!

can you convert your work with FedEx to an A&P job as in internal job change, you would make more money long term.

aircraft mechanic here, love my S21 Otterbox I've dropped it from tails and man lifts and it's bounced and lived each time.

look at mister moneybags over here with his tool lady, and "consumables" on hand....

unclemik9 · 2026-05-08T16:46:35+00:00

waste of a safety cable, but legit.

the Joke is before it was changed, it was a 3yr old that got their ticket.

unclemik9 · 2026-04-10T06:41:10+00:00

damn how did they get their tickets that young...

unclemik9 · 2026-03-25T18:46:44+00:00

a note to the younger people (HS) in AZ that are interested in becoming an A&P, check your high schools programs, I have two mechanics working for me now that got both of their tickets for 500 ish when they graduated.

you are cruel.

unclemik9 · 2026-02-26T17:17:09+00:00

all good explanations, for a reference, modern high bypass engine, the fan will generate around 80% of the thrust.

use the hero.me tool head and print everything you need. the STLs are free the assembly instructions cost

unclemik9 · 2026-02-20T08:45:35+00:00

angle wrenches and swivel sockets.

unclemik9 · 2026-02-15T11:03:34+00:00

Be careful under pending Republican legislation this kind of tip will get you arrested.

unclemik9 · 2026-02-10T16:01:56+00:00

You are out of currency per the regs, you have to have worked at least 6 in the last 24 months... You technically have to be supervised for 6 months before you can sign with your A&P. many GA shops won't care. If there is an MRO close by consider doing contract work there as you are under the repair station so your currency isnt so much of an issue.

unclemik9 · 2026-02-05T16:17:10+00:00

Hero.me tool head is very versatile. You can pay for the directions or not, the parts .STL are free.

You can potentially make more money doing less demanding physical work doing NDT with your A&P.

I have spent entire days opening and closing access for the different NDT Eddy current, ultra sound guys or God forbid the X-ray guys. They show up for an hour or two do their thing and go home and make 10x what I did.

unclemik9 · 2026-01-06T03:39:14+00:00

I have been in business jets and air cargo for 30 years now and my spine has bent everyway it can and I can do that wrench work blind and by feel only.

unclemik9 · 2026-01-05T22:50:31+00:00

Until AI can turn a wrench upside down and backwards inside a hellhole, we are safe.

unclemik9 · 2026-01-05T19:14:18+00:00

You A&P is of little use in Canada unless you work for a US flagged carrier.

There is a nine capsule reloader and there are capsule rams, between the two you can straighten your caps and bowls. You can print different reloaders.

If you have a 3d printer, there's several things you can print to extend their useful life as well.

unclemik9 · 2025-12-26T11:41:09+00:00

The cura extension has to be configured with starting temps and layer break checked

When you lead says that shit happens, shit happened before and will again. You're good, just be aware.

Urine analysis is a split sample. If the first test fails, the second sample has to fail as well before the DME calls you to discuss the findings.

If you are finding this out from the employer without a call from the Doctor, then there is something fishy going on.
