I am a mobile Tech working on cranes, chippers, knuckle booms, diggers, bucket trucks and more. My channel is about the tools that hopefully makes my job easier. Doing overviews, reviews and updates.
I sometimes will show what I'm working on on my Instagram channel.
Thanks for stopping by..
Let's help each other. All For ONE and ONE For All...
Yes and no... lol. I have the angle wrenches and they have been great for hydraulic lines. The regular ones I sold to another mechanic. He is using them daily. There hasn't been any failures. They aren't anything special in my opinion. I do like the variety of sizes though. I bought some wrenches from Menards for my electrical bag. I also bought some bigger sizes in 1" to 1 1/4 because they aren't as bulky as the Wrights or Gearwrench jumbo wrenches. They have been doing great.
www.mactools.com/products/srwmo26pt The web site says 379. But I dont think I paid that much. I think my dealer got a deal on them from one of the tool shows...
That’s nice and handy and doesn’t take up a whole bunch of space hope you are doing great I will try to catch up with you soon been busy as crap last few months
So do you think that roll/bag would be to big a roll to use motorcycling? I have an old school HD Road King and been looking for a better option than my big Dewalt bag.
This would definitely help in organizing more.. Size? If it's the size bag that comes in the tool kit, then this would be a more compact option. It also depends on how full you pack it... Thanks Nick. Stay safe
Hey David, yes I left the municipality. Got tired of government politics. I work for company as a mobile tech. I work on cranes, diggers, bucket trucks and other equipment that support power, telecommunications and tree service companies
I just bought the Wright 11pc metric set and a 21 and 22mm. Zoro is running a special right now: add your email and get 15% off. I got a 7-22mm set for $166.75 to my door.
My 2019 Ford Escape Drivers side Rear door will only open about 1". It's not locked, you can hear the lock engage and disengage when pressed. It seems like it binding right where this hinge is. Any ideas?
It is not the Mac. It is the falcom wrench they're identical and some of the other V-Shary products are falmcom And they're all part of the same Stanley Black& Decker brand
Anything advertised and is professional that has skips is annoying and I don't like it. I bought the metric wrenches because I don't really use my dick often and I had old USA non-ratching and I wanted some ratchet and I figured f*** it. We'll see how they are and they're not bad but it skips 9 15 16 and 18
I wish they would at least offer the skip sizes so in case you do want a full set . Example - Menards wrench sets are not complete but they offer every size so that you can complete your set.
I just picked up a slightly used 3/4 drive 40-inch expert breaker bar e033804 for $35. The thing looks like it can break loose about anything I throw at it. At first, I thought it was some cheesy off brand junk. So this is matco cheap line ?
Supposedly they do that so you don't pinch the cord for you laptop or scanner if you keep them in tops.. I loved mine.. it wad to wide with the side box so I traded it in on a SnapOn.. Stay safe!!
Dave, 09 chevy impala. I replaced a sensor and activated it at 315 with my OTC brand older TPMS tool. I dont have the original key fob to have the car relearn mode to start the relearn process. My friend just got one of these Autel tools. My question, do you knkw how to get the car to recognize the new sensor already installed. The Autel scanned each wheel and shows they are activated with the id numbers, 315hertz and the actual tire psi, yet I dont know how to get the ECU to recoginize the tire in the dash as LR. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated!
On my 08 Chev, you have to plug into your OBD port. Let the scanner read what it has stored and then program four new Autel sensors with those IDs. That is what I did for my truck. As far as I know it won't program the ECM. It just programs Autel TPMS sensors.
@@OneMechanic i got into the relearn mode with the Autel scanner, under the advance button. I had put a new ac/delco tpms in. The advance feature allows autel to link everything and activate the relearn mode for the ecu. I didnt have to install an autel sensor. I was in a hurry so wasnt able to record the steps but it is capable of reload/program ac delco sensors. Thanks for the response. When I do the front wheel monitors with the other 2 ac delco sensors I have, Ill try to video for reference on how to do it.
Thanks for saying so.. Yes I am. Working more hours but getting paid well and not stressing over money or inner politics is very nice. Happy New Year Bro.
Hey Joey... no sir. I'm now a mobile tech working on cranes, digger derricks, bucket trucks and the supporting equipment. Our customers are power, tree, telecommunications and government.. Hope you have been doing well... Happy New Year!!
I am going to have to get those Snap On crimpers. I use a Fluke 27, designed for working in mines, it is sealed so it can take the rain and snow of road work. Do you use a sealed beam to locate shorts? I picked up one of the Electronic Specialties relay circuit tester I saw on Eric O" channel, used it on a Volvo trailer light issue a couple of days ago. Check it out as you going to be knee deep in relay circuits in cranes and bucket trucks. Happy New Year Dave!
I will have to check that out.. Thanks. I just bought a Lisle relay jumper so that I can check voltage and amps while the operation is live.. This is a company Fluke. Every year it gets traded out for a certified one.. Happy New Year 😃👍
Looks like you got a nice bag 😉...well that wasn't my intention but you know me..can't help myself..😂anyways looks nicely organized & equipped..Happy New Year's #ONE 👆
Oh wow, I never knew that. It's good to see that they haven't been bought out by big corporations and made obsolete like so many good tool manufacturers. That is why I'm impressed that Wright Tools and Cornwell are still making tools here in Ohio.
Thank You.. I no longer have that cart. I loved that cart but with the extra side piece it was hard to move around the shop. So I traded it in for a SnapOn. Now I'm a field mechanic and it sits at home.. lol
@scottaddison8071 Very sweet! I like the maximizer carts alot. I wish they had then in a slide top. But the SO guy had this one and it was orange so it was calling my name... lol
@@OneMechanic its a bit of a mine field out there for OBD readers. some will only work with certain brands, some won't even put out a engine light on the dash. looking through the amount of choice on Amazon, I really don't know what to buy. They all seemed to be knocked out in China. I have Ford, Chrysler and dodge vehicles and haven't a clue what would be the right OBD reader for me.
I totally understand and the SnapOn, Mac and Bosch are just crazy priced. My last garage we had a Can-Do. It was mainly for doing big trucks but was also a generic OBD scanner. It was decent but didn't like jeeps. I have a small handheld Launch at home. It's about ten years old and it works well for just a reader. I always hear good things about the Autel but I have never used one so I don't know. I'm now a mobile Tech working on cranes and aerials and I do very little on the chassis side so I'm kinda out of the loop. If I was to look, I would look at Launch because I had such good luck with my old one or try Autel. Good luck and stay safe.
Can a professional use these? Lol, a professional can use any tool he or she wants regardless Of the make or rebranbed what ever it takes to get the job done rite 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Yes, but you know what he means. A professional needs to get the job done properly in an acceptable time. When an amateur runs into a problem, he goes looking for another tool he needs to finish the job. One question for the professional mechanic in comparing these two wrench sets is: will the shorter length do the job?
@GH-oi2jf Sometimes the shorter length is a blessing where the longer length is hard to get into places. And then you get more leverage over the shorter ones... sooo.... depends on what you need 90% of the time in my opinion..
Wright tools wright grip is unbeatable ime and better yet their literally giving folks jobs and feeding families paying a living wage in little old Barberton, Ohio within a couple hours from me me as well as being one of the last few privately held businesses in the space and they cannot be beat, I do wish they had 6pt tho
Man I loved SK, hell I still really love the x frame series and would love a set of the metric but this past year SK did me really dirty, it took over half a dozen emails and over a year to warranty a 1/2” drive 36mm socket There arent any better quality wrenches, impact sockets or ratchets (the contour grip is phenomenal ) but that’d have to be Wright tool, they really deserve more love than they get, I just wish they had some ratcheting wrenches Domestic ratcheting combi sets especially 6pt combi ratcheting wrenches, a surprisingly good ratcheting wrench set is the Milwaukee 12pt ratcheting Also tekton have phenomenal warranty and make an effort to make made in USA products like there open end angles some great double box end ratcheting 6pt use one of those with an Astro low pro socket set is a great option for tight areas but anyone looking for good and unique but high quality wrenches check out the capri wave drives the cougar pro ratcheting wrench set designed and wright tool oversees the manufacturing but they are made overseas.. also check out Tonè rmfq700 flex head ratcheting box end and ratcheting open end wrench sets they’re quite unique but the set with the traditional non ratcheting open end are great Japanese tools along with koken, nepros, KTC
What do you do if the vehicle doesn't have any tpms sensors installed. The previous owner had them removed will the ts508 make the new ones I have work?
They would have to be Autel tpms sensors.. I have only used this on GMC and Ford trucks. It was easy to copy the original s/n from the ecm and program the Autel sensors... other manufacturers I have no clue
Hey thanks for the reply I purchased one of these 508's with 12 sensors and will see if I can program the other sensors I already purchased since I can't really send them back at this point. @@OneMechanic
Well damn, just bought this expert set in both standard and metric (second hand). Kinda wishing I woulda seen this video first now. I'm more of a hobbiest and not a full time mechanic. Doubt ill be putting these thru the ringer like you guys. Ya did say you hadn't used it that much so im not sure that's going to be my saving grace. Always understood that these arent supposed to be used for high torque situations. Thanks for the honest review tho. Happen to know if they make rebuild kits for the ratchet part of the wrench?
I love the size selections in the sets. I hate when they skip sizes. If one fails, buy a replacement and then send the failed one in for warranty.. Have a great weekend
@TravisKenimer i don't remember that.. I traded my set in or the Mac PT ratcheting wrenches. They have been great but only go to 15/16... the Expert went to 1 1/4...
