Good to See someone else Using Halfords / Us pro stuff - I must be one of very few people that have never bought A snap on tool - or have any tool debt - managed really wel with Halfords stuff
@ORileysAutos3 жыл бұрын
Halfords tools come with a lifetime warranty so it makes it very easy for us to just call in and say I need a new one of this that and these and they just hand them straight over without asking any questions. The only thing expensive I buy are the Milwaukee tools but I couldn't use any cheaper brands as they just don't compare on quality or torque for opening bolts

Great video, I run a mobile horticultural engineering service, very similar set up. Haven't wired up an inverter yet but sounds better than a generator. 😉 thanks for the tour. I'll be posting a video of our set up soon. 👍

Couldn't live without my inverter. It was the first priority on my list 😃

We do now take extra measures because last year one of our fans was stolen with a key coding equipment device and our van was found 6 weeks later in London completely stripped. To top it off insurance company told us it was void because we left our tools overnight in the van.

Great video. If you have a chance you should stick air compressor and airbag jack, or just reservoir bottle linked with 12v compressor. It will make the job a lot easier.

@@ORileysAutos 50l bottle should be enough for the airbag jack if constantly supplied by electric compressor. I made mine from an old gas bottle. They're designed to handle much higher pressure then you need.

Lovely setup I really like the rear lights inside idea that defo makes more sense. Do u have to meet certain weight limit restrictions? Also how is fuel consumption with all that weight ?
@ORileysAutos Жыл бұрын
Weight limit is 3500kg unless you go to 7.5ton trucks. Mpg can range from 26-40mpg depending how careful you drive it
