    Using a pipe as an extension?

    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...

    Using a pipe as an extension?

    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.

    Using a pipe as an extension?

    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.

    Using a pipe as an extension?

    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.

    Using a pipe as an extension?

    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...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    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...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    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...

    Do you change your own oil in all vehicles?

    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.

    My 38' x 65' shop

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    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...
