    Today could have ended up MUCH worse

    I did have all 4 arms under the truck. Its an Asymetrical lift, so when I moved the rear arms out, the front arms were underneath the vehicle. I went ahead and put them under the front lift points on the frame. Everything we do in the shop is on video, and if caught using two arms it means...

    Today could have ended up MUCH worse

    The only part that really worries me, is that I've put bigger vehicles on these kinds of lifts. And there are 10 bays in the shop, 7 have lifts identical to this one. If this one is like that, who's to say all the bays arent like that. I think this in one of those issues I'll bring up to corporate.

    Today could have ended up MUCH worse

    Thanks AP. In that first picture (sorry for the bad quality) the white area is the edge of the crack. The blue post started tilting and lifted that whole piece of concrete up about 4 or 5 inches. The second picture is the ground level shot of the concrete underneath. Its very brittle and 'sandy'

    Today could have ended up MUCH worse

    At work today I put a toyota tundra on the lift to do a flat repair on the rear. Lifted the vehicle up ~6 inches, took the tire off, plugged hole, balanced, etc. As I'm putting the wheel back on vehicle, I hear a SNAP like thunder and another tech screaming F**K F**K HURRY THE F**K UP. I rush to...

    And the rest. I bought the bottom box used. I bought the top box from a guy I work with for 50 bucks. He also threw in the drawer full of assorted wrenches. SCORE

    who buys SAE tools these days?

    I work on small engines. Most of what I touch is 10mm, 8mm, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 3/4. Mostly in that order. Honda and Kawi's are what I see the most.

    Snap On's tool box challenge - opinions needed.

    You have welders, eager techs, and some time. Maybe let them fab up some 'custom' carts. IE, a job box (knaack etc) and a decent craftsman or used snap on roll cab, but without wheels, and put those on some sort of roller frame. What i'm thinking of is Nissan Crawlers old craftsman box, but...

    tech school

    I attended Wyotech for Diesel. I, for one, would NOT do it again. Yeah, you'll learn about the given subject, but when you step in the shop to do your comps, you might finish the comp in 25 minutes, and wait around with your hand in the air for 40 minutes waiting for instructors to come and sign...
