Not a problem with rivets from what I know because the rivet alloy is harder aluminum than the metal skin. I could be wrong though. I think I this case it was that the rivets were improperly installed. I think whoever was bucking the tail must've pushed too hard which caused the manufacturered...

Sounds cool, I'll have to watch that later. Thanks

Yeah, rivets worked most of the way through the skin. Luckily Airbus got back to us quick.

Had to make a quick repair. Got the engineering back today and knocked it out.

I have the 72. It's been good so far. I got it not long after they came out with series 3. I use it for my helicopter box so it travels quite a bit. Probably 8-10k miles inside a trailer fully loaded. My only real gripe about it is the drawers stick part way in and I have to pull a little harder...

The driveway isn't necessarily bad. We just had about 15 inches of snow and I was trying to get into the two elderly lady's to help them evacuate, we were all without electricity for 3 days and they were getting low on supplies. I wasn't sure about using any trees because we've been having them...

So earlier today I was stuck in the neighbors driveway (slid off into a small ditch) and had another neighbor helping me get out and we were talking about how there were no good winch points. So this had me thinking maybe when I start building fence this summer to have some extra large steel...

One that’s kind of neat is ultrachem assembly fluid #1 it’s a sticky sort of snot consistency. When you have an o ring or something that just won’t stay put with oil or Vaseline this stuff is great

I got mine in the fall of 2019 I think they were on sale for $350 both sets

Also there’s an app for that I think its torque adapter app

From ac43-13.2b for torque on civilian non pressurized aircraft

I got what ever this thing is for $3 The end cap threads off and the foot part swivels like a c clamp Edit- internet says it’s an old bumper jack, unfortunately it seized up and won’t extend

I have the blue power set at work, they’re decent enough I guess. Definitely fatter than my boss’s snap on set but I needed up to 1 1/4. The metric has come in handy a couple times on airbus helicopters.

It trips intermittently, so far I haven’t noticed when other than when my tools quit working. Today it worked fine all day and didn’t trip. I will check voltages tomorrow. 220 v Thanks for the help.

I have my dads old compressor and lately it has been kicking off at the overload. I don’t know a lot about electrical diagnosis. If I reset it the compressor runs fine for a while it has a 5hp motor. Thanks for any help
