Your fail safe is probably a low oil timer.....if there is a significant leak and the car goes on a up run, it will stop short of the top landing because there isn't enough oil in the system to push the car there. The elevator would fault out and be innoperable, causing you to call the service...

Sure! I do it pretty regularly with other tools (drills and portaband). Keeps the hand/arm fatigue away. I'm young compared to most in the trade but have a lot of friends and family that have been in forever that have arthritis and constantly moan about pains. I try to use whatever means...

We tried about everything and the best by far was RIDGID from home depot. I think we bought about 10 12" blades and only used like 6. Still have a few that are good.....pretty impressive. The trick was to run the sawzall trigger stop in a bit to slow it down and zip tie the trigger on. I ran...

Nice pics:bounce: Im an elevator mechanic in seattle and have done the same thing a few times. That looks like a nice puller setup!! Mine have always been made up of a few counterweights and 3/4 allthread and a porta power or bottle jack. I was doing a mod at the VA hospital where we...

Imagine the shipping costs saved on things like big Knaack gang boxes going cross country....:shocking:

I was on a couple mod jobs as an apprentice and loved it. You get more time to do the work and really get to rack your brain and think outside the box to come up with a solution...everything is custom. I really enjoyed being able to make a job a real showpiece and something to be proud of...

Well to start, I LOVE my job...best thig that ever happened to me. Its a very fulfilling carrer with lots of interesting paths to follow. It can be extremely stressful at times do to pressure from the elevator companies, but you have to stick to your guns to provide a safe product to the...

bump

Im an elevator mehanic in local 19 in seattle. I know quite a few guys that are still carrying around an adams tool box. Mainly older service guys that have older equipment on their service route. With constant technology advancement, laptops and pda's are the new toolbox. Im mainly in new...

Hard to see, but its spring steel formed around the wrenches, with a detent on the top side that captures the wrap around part. Ive seen them on super cheap (junk) taskforce brand wrench sets at lowes, but would like a larger size and to be able to buy seperate. Might seem like an odd setup to...
