Ur long reach tool is busted not full green, especially the spots that rub by the door.... U should use a protective film around it .. But seems like your in a rush and don't care about the cars
@@next492 agree to disagree it’s ok if you want to think wrong about something. Maybe in Canada that’s what they are called or another country . But in America, I’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years and they have always been called extension bar because they allow you to reach a bolt or nut that is too far to reach because of other body parts or wires etc. you have a nice day scooter
Stuck bolts, make a mix of transmission, fluid and oil. is the best for getting stuck bolts and rusty bolts broken up the Palmer molecules are smaller so they can get into the rust. Better than PB blaster check out project farm video on it.
I own and operate Knights Templar Free Roadside Assistance here on RU-vid I kept running into vehicles that didn't have those clear funnels for pouring fuel into their cars so I went down to the salvage yard and found a couple of them and keep them in our trucks.
Wow... $65. That's cheap. I charge $150 for standard changes and depending on time and/or where it's located... such as a highway, or if it's after dark/before dawn, I charge between $175 - $195. There's other factors that play a role... a key role whether or not we'll change the tire. So it really depends on what Roadway they're on. If they're on a stretch of Roadway that's extremely dangerous, we will only tow you. Some will say... it takes more time to tow than to change a tire. Although that may be true for some road service calls, that's not always the case. *****FULL DISCLAIMER. THE FOLLOWING DETAILS ARE PRETTY DETAILED. SO IF YOU WISH TO READ MORE... BE MY GUESS. JUST KNOW... IT'S LONG. LOL***** Getting back to my personal account of what is like being a RSA SERVICE PROVIDER... Usually, if you're calling for a tire change, then it's safe to assume your vehicle runs/drives. At which point, we'll just drive the vehicle up on the bed, work on the shoulder side as much as possible, get it strapped down using just 2 straps and roll up to the nearest exit or safe area to complete the tire change safely. I've lost a number of colleagues and friends to roadside assistance disasters. Thus, I refuse to let that happen in the best way possible. I lost a friend who was changing his own tire one morning. The vehicle that killed him also kept going. A colleague of mine was killed by a 70y/o driver suffering from a medical emergency. Both died that day. He was actively loading a vehicle involved in a single vehicle crash, in the center median (extreme left side of Roadway) prior to losing his life. He was just 26 years old. Smh. It was tough. But as he was loading, the elderly driver crossed 3 lanes of traffic, struck the car being loaded, proceeded directly towards the bed, hit the bed, and went airborne. The disabled vehicle then stuck and killed the operator. So yeah... they're situation beyond your control even if you're doing everything right. Such as the way you position yourself and your vehicle in a way that approaching vehicles can see you, you work from the opposite side of the truck, wear high visibility gear, and quickly get out of the danger zone promptly. However, it's my opinion (based on years of experience), to safely affect a safe and successful service call, it may be best to relocate the vehicle. Sure s tire change is something that can be completed in under 5 minutes with the right tools, but when you're changing tires, often times you may be focused on just that... changing the tire. You may not have your eyes on oncoming traffic. Even if you did, given the speed at which most of these vehicles are traveling, you may not have time to get out the way. I've been very fortunate doing this kind of work. I've been hit my a number of cars. Never to the point that i was seriously injured. But I'll be loading a car, and as I'm securing the vehicle on the driver's side? I've been hit by mirrors. Many times! The last time i was hit happened right in front of a police officer, whom i was in scene towing a vehicle they just stopped. But immediately after she hit me, she pretended like she was pulling over but then took off. Needless to say, the officer chased her down. Why she run? Hmm... perhaps she NEVER had a driver's license, but was taking her kids to school, the vehicle was unregistered and displayed fictitious plates and no insurance. Apparently her husband was aware of this but neglected to tell her not to drive the car. Instead took the car and left the home. Another time was a brand new MERCEDES BENZ (with temp tags) hit me with its mirror too. The hit was so hard that it literally broke off the side view mirror and cracked the glass. Also... right in front of police. But he remained at the scene. Mainly because he tried blaming me for breaking his mirror. So in his mind, it was my fault and he wanted to file a damage report. It was then when he learned that not only would that not happen, but he was also getting a number of citations for his actions. Failure to yeild to EMERGENCY VEHICLES (both the police car and my truck), Unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to exhibit proof of registration. (That's just a minor violation that can get thrown out of court if you're able to provide proof to the courts. ) I've also replaced all of the lightbars in my vehicles with Chameleon Lightbars, to flash both blue and clear or blue red (in the rear only) just to give my technician and myself a chance to make it home safely. When people see blue or red flashing lights as they're approaching, will often times think it's a police car. So, in that respect, they're likely to slow down and move over. Some don't, but majority do. There's been times that we've called Troopers/Police to come out and standby, too. But when drivers clearly see amber flashing lights on the side of the road, they'll continue traveling at highway speeds, never moving over or slowing down. What I've also witnessed, many of these drivers had ample time to slow down and/or move over... i also see that no one was ever in the next lane, but they're just so ignorant and oblivious to the potential dangers. It's imperative that drivers yeilds to "ALL EMERGENCY VEHICLE". THAT INCLUDES TOW TRUCKS AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SERVICE TRUCKS. Speaking about our lightbars, we have 2 police towing contracts. Therefore, when we're responding to a call for service, depending on the call priority, my light bars can change from all amber to full blue red... labeled as "CODE 4=RESPONSE MODE". Once we're on scene, we can select "CODE 2=ON SCENE MODE" and it'll change the lightbars back to amber/amber or amber/clear or split amber/clear front blue/ clear or blue/red rear. Stay safe out there Sam. We want you to make it home every night. And $65 vs your life isn't worth it. Neither is $150-$195. But at least you're being compensated for putting yourself in harms way simply because the driver pulled over in the left, as opposed to the right (in every driver's manual). Therefore, when drivers do stuff like that, unfortunately, they have to be charged for their stupidity by putting you and themselves in that situation. As i mentioned previously, things happen beyond our control, even when we try to prepare for hazards. But pulling over on the left is just unacceptable, in my opinion. First of all, all vehicles should remain in the far right lanes when traveling on roads with 2 or more travel lanes. So if the driver was in the right lanes, perhaps they could've safely pulled over to the right shoulder safely. I often see people camping in the left lane ALL THE TIME. Abs you'll be surprised at how many people actually thinks that the left lane is the slow lane. They'll enter the highway, B-Line it over the left lane and camp out. Or you'll see other vehicles passing you in the extreme left lane. Meanwhile, you're over to the far right. I often will say... "If that idiot experiences a breakdown, they've got no where to go but left. Why are you in the left lane? You're not actively passing or overtaking another vehicle... get over." Stay safe, Sam. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
You do phenomenal work boss. But I do think that was a little rude that man had his hand out to shake your hand and you just left him hanging. I get it you guys are in a bad spot on the highway. But I treat all my customers with respect & dignity. Their scared and relieved when pros show up and show out. Good work overall. Salute
