@jamesmonahan1819 7 жыл бұрын

Tom M My uncle said always run the muffler bearings dry. the stuff you pack in there just attracts dirt. He was a real mechanic he could change the engine in his Monte Carlo in 5 minutes with a screwdriver and a pair of vice grips and no hoist. He used to have every tool that snap on made but he stamped them all with his name and it caused micro fractures to form and they all broke, and snap on wouldn't give him new ones because he put his name on them. Once he got a flat left front tire and he didn't have a jack, so he put on the parking brake, put it in drive, and threw a brick in the gas peddle, and the torque lifted up the left front tire so he could change it, with his screwdriver and Vice Grips. He said if it would have been a back tire he would have used reverse.

Yeah I doubt they are checking brands, if they see a easy buck it don't. Here's how life works when your in the hood. A branded and stickered work truck comes in for repair, the truck has nothing in the cab so it is left unlocked but has cars parked behind it to block it in. Thieves bust out the window of the unlocked truck, fuck the dash trim up to steal the factory radio that had nothing special going on. The owner used to chase and fire his gun off at people like that when he caught them, but times have changed and #blacklifesmatter

It's that Citroen doesn't have much value when you buy it. BMW does, and nobody wants to buy a used one, because when you have a BMW (meaning a real car, not SUV), you're a lot more likely to go rough with the car, meaning the second owner might have to pay for all your repairs, and nobody wants to risk it.

Well I gave this a try and it worked great. I ended up using a 12 volt 1 amp motor cycle battery charger with some vinegar and rock salt mixed (rock salt had a hard time diluting) then I cleaned my sockets off and used cold gun blueing to darken the lettering. The etching process had no problem cutting through the chrome plating. Thanks for the vid.

Hey great video, loved the concept. I only have one question, where did you make custom stickers like your logo? Any suggestions, diy, or place to get custom logos? I really would like my initials the way I write them but wouldn’t know where to start looking. Thanks for the video.

I personally have a cricut vinyl cutter that I can trace images digitally and then print it, but you could get vinyl and draw on it and cut it out.

Yeah, instead of showing us this why doesn't he tell us something useful like where to buy 0 mm sockets and blinker fluid. One of you ask him, I'm embarrassed to.

One of the best things I did for my shop was go through and organize/buy new sockets throughout the entire shop. Running all Craftsman sockets now, love how they mark them and only the 10mms are missing so far lol

Yes, it's a great idea. I would suggest you try it on some scrap bit of metal first though. If experience teaches anything, it's that other people can make something look a lot easier than it turns out to be! I'll be getting some practise in before working on my tools.
