Thanks, I'll look into that!

I'll be working on a variety of stuff from cell phones, tablets, and gaming consols and accessories.

I might have better luck on an electronics forum, but I'm looking for a decent quality brand precision electronics repair tool kit. I'll mostly be working on cell phones, tablets, gaming consoles and accessories. Any thoughts?

I know any spool will help me stay more organized and productive, but which ones do people like? Any particular reason you don't like one brand? Basically, sell me on which one is the best and why it's better than the others. [background]: light vehicle repair, busy shop, sometimes clustered...

I borrowed one for an odd bolt and now I'm convinced I can't live without a set. I was hoping to get feedback on type/brand/size/drive/chrome/impact etc... I work on small cars and SUVs (specifically Hyundai, ATM). Rarely have anything bigger than a Sante Fe on my lift, occasionally a f-150...

I love that immediately after your comment is the guy telling me to get knee pads. :headscrat

:wtf: I hope you mean this is intended for saving my knees over the years and not intended for *achem* getting on the good side *achem* of my superiors. all jesting aside, any recommendations for knee savers?

Just curious, what do you do now? By comparison I made more $ delivering pizzas but I was bored out of my skull. I at least feel like I'm using my brain and I love those "ah-ha!" or "eureka!" moments, so I'm tempted to stick with this for a while. I also have experience with CAD and design...

can verify, the boots I bought off them are garbage. 1 year old, can't make them any tighter and they are worn through and uncomfortable. couldn't drop 300 on a decent pair at the time so 10 a week wasn't bad.

[1] Great, just dropped 11k on a box... j/k I'm fine with the POS I have =) [2] Check [3] I'll add it to the list and ask to try out some of my co-workers in the mean time. [4] Check, absolutely love it. Got a 1/4" hex gun I love too. Thanks!

I've heard the same from many people. A lot of people grow working in the industry or staying in it because of family. I'm kind of the black sheep in regards to actually wanting to do this work. I tried for 10 years or so to find something I'd like, but discovered my love for...

Greetings, I'm an automotive technician. I've been working in the field for 5 years. The first 2 of which were in school and internship. I got strait A's through school, and have always busted *** at work. I have access to company specific training which I always take advantage of when I...
