Too wishy-washy in the area. And things like oil changes are not even worth my time to perform. Margin is too low. Besides I kinda already have a 2nd job

I was quoted 21%... Mac quoted me 14%... So I have a Mac toolbox

So I know alot of guys on here are professional auto/diesel techs so this is more of a question for you guys. So I've been a professional aircraft mechanic for the past 6 years. I've always been sort of a hotrodder I guess, I have my race truck that I'm always playing with but I've never worked...

I'm just interested in why he owns safety wire pliers... He must race motorcycles

Yea, apparently the set I got is not common at all... Some kind of gift given to Chrysler dealership mechanics back in like the late 1950s or early 1960s. Too bad I'm a Ford man, only thing good Chrysler ever did was put a Cummins in their trucks. hahaha, I'm horrible

Streamlight stinger HP stuck in my mouth lol

This is my box, one day I'll have a 3 bay

Welcome to aviation!

Well all hardware must be certificated for said application. The manufacturer says that only XYZ bolt and XYZ nut is acceptable. For another nut and bolt to be approved you'd need to get it certificated by the FAA... How would you test it? Well you need to come up with that, consult with the FAA...

No idea. I just know turbine engines are covered in nothing but 12 point and the hardware is outrageously expensive. Cost for the 1/4x3/4 bolts on the compressor case halfs on a JT12... There's about 100 or so of them. Last time I priced them out, the nut was $75 and the bolt was I think $200.

Ended up picking these up. Figured it was a good deal for a full set.

Does anyone have a suggestion on an articulating borescope for around $1500 or less? So far everything I'm seeing is $2000 and up, I'm starting to consider ebay unless you guys have any better suggestions.

They can take alot more torque! Like 25-30%

That sums it up in a nutshell. Good job. I tend to go for 6 point unless I'm in a real tight spot... OR turbine engines, they're all 12 point hardware.

I never suggested it! Just saying!!!! lol
