Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I'm not saying the set screws are tight. But my snap on Allen did become a snap off.

 

One of those jobs that just keeps getting better...

I worked in a place that most of the equipment was Allen heads, we found the Bondhus brand wrenches to last better than any others we tried.

 

I feel for you ! All maintenance people The unsung Hero`s that make the world go around.

 

I've gotten my money back already from how many snap on allen wrenches/socket allens I've had break and replaced for free. Definitely one of the better "buy once cry once" tools in my line of work.

 

Tool trucks it came down to the dealer !

I always paid Good so I got treated good!

 

I only have projects at home. Retired 18 months ago.

 

Congrats!

 

Back together and ready to be forgotten about until it explodes again. Time to punch this clock and head home. Cheers!

 

And it feels damn good doesn't it!

One year ago yesterday at 6:15 am I was giving my notice -- by the end of the month they were starting to realize that I took care of a few (100) little things they previously didn't think were important.

 

Just got back from the body shop... not official yet, but the estimator figures the frame is tweaked, box, tail-gate, and rear bumper assembly are shot, cab is dented... probably a write-off!

 

Bummer... order a 2022? Or buy it back, bob the bed and make a sweet rock crawler!

 

I forget you work at a nightmare factory.
Good job.
Makes me think of the classes I had in farmatics for fire department for disentanglement training. Nightmares.

 

Yeah, the thought of "man, if I mess up or slip right now..." occurs on almost a daily basis.

 

If it is written off, then the first thing I do will be to slap in an order for a '22...

 

When I was in the fd we had a guy with a prosthetic leg from a corn picker accident, years later he got off the tractor with the round baler still turning, the tractor stared rolling and he went after it, his leg came off and through the baler he went. I remember it like it was yesterday and it was 25+years ago. Awful.

 

Looks great, too bad you can’t fix it right but at least it’s turning again.

 

To me, I would consider that a blessing. I'd much rather have a new one.
Not sure about what the rest of you think but unless your talking a 30k dollar custom paint job, no body shop will ever match the quality of factory paint. Then possible dents that need pulled and bondo up.
I just feel strongly about that. I know sometimes factory paint goes bad too though. Some early to mid 80's paint was horrible but I think they got that worked out. Now if you look on here TW see threads about the super white recently.
4 decent body shop repair bills in the last 21 years, I found all work but one to be substandard. That one shop that did a good job, that guy retired and son runs it now. Took my kids car in for repair and I'm not exaggerating when I say finished with a cheese grater and paint applied.

 

Hey cool kids.. I had my user name changed from DC 17_3 to Kilo Charlie to match my other social media stuff.. apologize for any confusion
