Yup, driveside is reverse thread, non is regular.

I didn't want to start a big ordeal over this, I was just asking about the cheater. Work experience students aren't required to be paid, but he did say that he'll probably put me on the payroll depending on how I did, rest of the guys in the back think I'm doing an awesome job. But I won't be...

Bike mechanic.

Because I'm on work experience right now, when I started, he said he'd probably put me on the payroll after he see's how I do. I would have left already if my parent's would let me leave.

I doubt that will happen, he won't even pay me yet even though I've busted my *** over the past 3 months for him. I'd go buy own proper tools and my own box if he didn't think I would "misplace" tools in my toolbox.

We don't have a breaker bar at work, they told me I only had about 10 minutes left to work in my stand(Next guy needed it) and there was no way I could break the bottom bracket free with a 8 inch long ratchet. From there, he gave me **** afterwards still. I hate my job.

Hey everyone, Just wondering if it hurts the ratchet at all if you use a hollow pipe to get extra leverage. I had to pull a Bottom bracket out at work that was seized and one the of the guys there told me I shouldn't use the pipe because it will "f*ck up" the ratchet. I only used it till the...

I needed tools to take to work, but my boss didn't like the idea of me bring my own box(liability issues), So...I remembered this little jobbie I bought back in December-ish. Its handy as hell, no more looking for looks to build a bike or do bicycle repair. This is what it houses: some...

I'm looking into a small chest for work. I came across this and thought it would be worth while to ask about...

Nice box man. I probably won't have that many tools for a while. Probably going to pick up a metric and standard wrench set from princess auto to try them out. Moneys hard to come by right now until I find a job or get into RAP. Though I've been taught to buy and have what I need. So I'll...

Not yet. =). Need to acquire my learners and bring my f-150 or cutlass in. But...I usually let my dad sit around while I change the oil in his dodge, and my moms dodge. Approx $100 per truck using royal, if I recall correctly.

15 turning 16 soon. Only have a small black and decker hand box to myself. The chest is my dads, but I use it a lot. Most of our tools are in the chest. Gonna need to buy another box with my own money here soon. Little to no room left in either. Here are some pics Mine: My dad gave it to...

Oh, man. If I had a shop like that with my dad, I would never go home. I would put a bed, fridge, cable and internet in it and like live there.

Our compressors are loud as ****. Lol. I've never heard of a "quiet" compressor. Unless its in a different building then mine.

Don't have any pics but we have a 3-4 gallon pancake from princess auto a few years back as the main compressor. When my dad was painting at home, he used a 5hp, 2stage 80gallon compressor. I don't know the model for the 80 because it hasn't been used in a good 5-7 years. The circuit in the...
