Hi all! My name is Brett and I've finally pried the lap top away from my wife so I can post some pictures up of some tools I have, and share my work stuff andple service truck.
First off, Alloy Artifacts didn't give me much insight on my Truth branded tools, I have a couple of sockets, ratchet head, handle, and extension, all made of what looks like galvanized steel, all in 1 inch drive. I use them at work on a decently frequent basis, mainly when I'm too lazy to fire up my compressor and I am removing a counterweight or some smaller truck's wheels.
And here is my work van and all the lovely tools. A lot of craftsman, some Snap-on, some Matco, and then some various Harbor Freight and Northern Tool stuff that I couldn't hold off on getting off the truck due to funds.
Rear, compressor, torch bottles, pack rat, fall harness, various nuts and bolts, counterweight chain that I made and painted, and random junk like wires and parts.
The main area. **** Mac cart with the top off holding all my sockets(almost all), 26 inch craftsman that was butchered with a shelf welded on, I cut it off, and painted it Clark colors haha.
Green, technically "Hot Yellow-Green"
Piled to the ceiling, I need help laying this van out better.
You can kinda see my sockets, in HF organizers, under a custom sheet metal drain pan.
Honestly, probably one of my 2 favorite wrenches. I have a 5/8-11/16 and a 3/4-7/8. I wish i had more haha.
Some others I like.
Under the cart. Random solvents, sockets I havent put back, grease fitting and electrical connectors.
Screwdrivers. Matco that I hate, Craftsman I keep breaking, and some junk and a few nut drivers.
Wrench drawer. Northern Tool angle ones, Craftsman raised panels, and some random Williams, Herbrand, and one Husky.
Stuff in boxes, it wont open cause my oil dry barrel is in the way haha. Also a DVOM, random connectors, and sever Fork Lift horns.
Drive tools. Two Matcos that I'm sorta beginning to dislike, a badass Dual 80 3/8 that is my absolute go to now, couple Craftsman, and lots of junk in case I need to heat or modify one. Random adapters and extension, mainly no name and Craftsman.
Allens, punches, and a couple picks.
Plies, adjustables, and a pipe wrench.
Air tools. The highlight being the MG725, which I love by the way.
Big stuff. The before mentioned Truth stuff, HF Budd socket set, and several 3/4 and 1 inch sockets from Wright, Craftsman, Bon-e-Con, Indestro and maybe more.
The van is a 2013 Express 2500. My company cheaped out and wouldn't buy a 3500, or an extended one. I had moved from a 2005 3500 box truck, so I'm really having an issue adjusting to the size difference. The economy is great though, about 15 average.
And here is some of the different things I've been able to work on. I wish I had pictures of the Sroka Tugger, that might possible have been my favorite project. Enjoy
Put a flywheel in this guy, 318 Chrysler powered.
Thanks to the tire company we used, I had to install lug studs in this big Linde H80D. This one happened to be stubborn, so much in fact I over heated the hub, and had to send it to our shop and have the hub removed and resealed.
Cool crane I had to help install a new winch brake and many, many hoses on.
Linde Tugger drive motor I had to replace, the first time sucked because I didn't realize you only have 3 bolts that hold it in, not 14, which is what holds the actual drive wheel on
Probably the most common "new" truck I work on. The Hyundai engine inside, is literally garbage. I have yet to be able to get on to run properly, and they are constantly plagued with intermittent rough running that Clark cannot explain.
The best Hyster I've got to see in the field, heat and ac, and a Cummins.

I have never liked Clark and here in the UK we had many parts supply problems. Is it still like that?
