Fix one job and find two more! YouTubers at work D&j projects, B&P paving Topdon JS2000 review 

I’m a tradesman and there’s no fu****g way I could go without a good swearing each day 😂.. nice to see the RU-vidrs working together ❤love it mate 👍👍

Hi Chris, I’ve been watching your videos for a while, me and my old man are just like you and yours we run coaches and buses down in the south west. The old man’s been in the industry since he was 14 and now 66 still going strong doing 70+ hrs a week, it’s great to watch your video and see we’re not the only ones in the struggle and relate to your day to day. Unfortunately I’ve got more time to watch your videos at the moment as I’ve had to put the daily struggle on hold for a bit while I deal with the cancer struggle. My old man came over to see me today and I’d been telling him about you so I put on one of your videos to watch. We had a great laugh knowing how you feel. Thanks for making the videos and keep struggling! Dan

So the struggle test is not your average RU-vidr product review, verdict is..... "pissing good bit of kit"! Cracked me up that did, priceless.

That Birdie of yours is priceless; loved seeing her in that hat of yours! She looked right at home amongst your tools on the shop floor!

The reasons I watch your channel is because it’s a good laugh and real life keep the videos coming 👍

i was thinking chris you needed a jumpstarter pack to you out of trouble well done top don. hope your dads feeling better now chris .

Thats why we love your Channel Chris, real down to earth good old fashioned lifes reality, Great Vids Great family super stuff keep on the struggle matey.. Oh and little birdie what a cutie .. She will be on the spanners soon..

So many generations in one video! Always enjoy seeing you with D&J. woop woop

Chris. Push and hold the boost button until it clicks, normally a couple of seconds, and away you go. Bloody good little power packs they are.

I do my best mechanic work when I’m swearing and that’s what life is all about ! When everything falls apart at once you have laugh and swear . Great Video again Chris! Thanks for sharing a day of the great struggler 👍

Nice one Chris. Always keep a sense of humour. Whilst repairing a large food packing machine at work i was inundated with all the crew asking how long it would be. I told the team leader the " Giggling pin" was broken. With a straight face they wrote this down in the breakdown log book. All very funny---------until the next day at the morning meeting when the operator stated that they had lost 1.5 hrs whilst i repaired the Giggling pin. I was then asked to explain what this pin was and could i write a procedure to inspect it regularly. 😱😂

Great video Chris, nothing better than true to life, nothing wrong with swearing, providing its not being used as abuse to someone 😀 nice to see you at D&J watch there channel also, keep the laughter coming, woòo wooo👍😂

I swear as soon as I open my eyes. It's good for the soul. Keep making honest videos chris it shows people that life is not always the way we expect it👍👍

Haha that beeping in D&Js unit is torture just watching the vids, can’t imagine working with it in the background day in day out 😫

Good evening Captain Gingerbeard 😉 I did tell Stevie to give the wood to you but it was when the Strugglebus Was on her knees 🤣👌💯🇮🇪

Chris, the booster was 75% out of the box... Impressive. Just think if your pre-charge it?

So many generations in one video! Always enjoy seeing you with D&J.

I am 63 and I retired from full time work as a crane electrician in a steel plant.. I miss the lads but not the climbing and the winter shut downs on the docks. But you right Chris, I got bored and now I run my own business with my own Chevy Struggle Van

on these jump packs, they auto detect the voltage on the car battery to check the leads are the correct way round. when the your battery is dead it obviously cant. so you have to hold the switch down and override them to turn the jump pack on.

They sell those Sanys at Union farm equipment. I've been meaning to stop and try one out. They have loaders and rollers. I wonder about parts availability.

THATS a review 😅 Class as always!

By far the most true to life bloke on RU-vid, fact

Good morning Chris, Your battery has what is more commonly known as a parasitic draw. This is normally caused buy a piece of electrical equipment staying awake during the night. You have to find the piece of equipment causing the problem or the battery will be knackered pretty quick. To do this you will need a digital clamp on ammeter. With everything turned off place the ammeter on the battery cable and see how many amps are being drawn from the battery you will then need to find where that current is going. Do this with your digital voltmeter check the voltage across each fuse. You are looking for a very small millivoltage reading of 2-4 mV or higher. When you find a fuse that is showing a current flow, find out what it is supplying and then try pulling that fuse and see if the parasitic draw falls. You can normally expect a draw of no more than 0.020 amps at the battery. Keep checking all fuses until you are down to the above level and then you will have a good idea what is flattening your battery. Quite often the problem is a computer module, like the abs module that has a fault and keeps the ECU awake and alot of other equipment with it. So the fuse test could be difficult to pinpoint the issue. If it is a module you may require a vehicle diagnostics tech to look at the vehicle CAN-BUS to see if it is going to sleep or not, this has to be done with an oscilloscope. But if I was you I would do the simple fuse checks first. Try watching "pine hollow auto diagnostics" on RU-vid he's excellent. He also uses a thermal detecting camera to see the heat being caused by the fault. Good luck Keith

Everyone swears. Only issue with some RU-vidrs try keeping it all pg, your channel is brilliant as you can see and hear it's all natural showing your daily struggle. Another great video Chris, keep the struggling coming WOO WOO

I wonder if Dave will ever admit that loaders the biggest pile of crap he’s ever brought 😂😂

Never a dull moment with the professional struggler love the videos big man ❤

Good blog again .Well done Chris

Bloody good show Chris 💥💥💥

Chris spray that seatbelt with furniture polish, it 100% works 👍🏻

🎉🎉🎉 the best lads on RU-vid the struggler and d&j. Glad they got the wood over to u bloody good show lads

Thanks Chris, great watch again 😊

Chris loving your honesty in the swearing front .

Great video Chris the beeper would drive you mad 😂I love a good swear it’s part of life 😂

And there back together! Good to see man

Chris love watching you and teh advetures you get up to. Keep on struggling brother😊👍

Great stuff...

That was the best promo a company could ask for! I have a similar product and I too was amazed. Woo woo. I actually installed a ground switch on my van as I don’t drive it often enough and the battery goes flat. That is a fair price too

Brilliant mate, great episode - all the best 👍👍👍👍

Hi chris,another fantastic video from you loved it,so really good to see all 3 of the best youtubers out there,yourself,d&j & b&p paving,I came to your channel from d&j and found b&p paving from d&j also so it's great to see youall helping each other,what you were saying about retirement to the b&p lads is right y dad worked hard all his life and retirement at 66 then not even a year in he passed away so makes you think doesn't it,have a great week chris if you can in this horrible weather 🤠🙂👍

Wonderful video again Chris! I'm not sure if it would speed up your brake adjusting, but when you have the drum off you could quickly extend the adjuster and check it by putting the drum over the shoes, slip it off, extend, drum on again, check, off, extend and so on instead of having to turn the pesky adjuster with the screw driver the whole way. Just a thought from a sofa in Canada. Cheers!

Mate of mine bought one and I didn't believe they would start anything but they DO. Want one.

Hi Chris. I've made my way from D&J! 🙃 I've not seen one of your videos before bnut I've seen you on a few of theirs so i though I'd check you out. Loved it! Its good to see people with different sets of skills helping each other out. I also love your style of filming too 😊 Keep up the good work mate. I'm subscribed now so I'll be back 😉

A up struggler excellent video nice to see all the lads 🚜🚛😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I drive past them flats every week and always thought to myself how has nobody took them on to revamp. I saw them in one of your video title screens and watched the vid purely to see if it was owt to do with the Chanel . So glad I did now keep on struggling 👍

I bought one a little smaller for my wife’s motorcycle and it worked great. Nice you got all that free wood. Little Birdie sure is getting big. Little supervisor is on duty so make sure you toe the line struggler 🤣🤣. ❤🇨🇦👍

Bit of Pro Struggler, D&J and B&P Paving on a Sunday, good stuff Chris me ould fettler keeping it real..

Handy bit of kit the Topdon jump pack , some great youtubers on this video going over now to watch D&J, i have the Audew jump pack put on battery press boost button and start up straight away no having to wait 👍

Came through Newark yesterday on way from Monmouth to Woodhall Spa and saw the village you need to move to. Strugglethorpe - was Stragglethorpe but got the white paint out :)

Morning Chris. Hope you and the gang are well.

That's a decent test of that there wee jumppack on the strugglebus, Chris and nice to see the other RU-vidrs

I've got a Halfords jump starter like that brilliant bit of kit will start upto a 3.0ltr engine

just keep up the great work Chris

Those topdon Jumpers are very good I have the JS1200 bloody brilliant

Hi Chris great video as usual, those brakes on the shovel loader look very similar if not the same as Ford Cargo front brakes. There a blast from the past. 👍

Chris,i watched the jim holden vid again last night,hes so interesting, you want to send your dad over to see him,i bet they they could burn some diesel over a cup of tea 😆,its great to meet people with similar interests that will spend the time to talk,so many people in to much of a hurry these days.great vid with 2 x top blokes👍👍

Mosfets and battery's are a wonderful things... What a great video..

Great and funny video bud well done all stay safe. 😂🤣👍🍺

Another productive day matey :) that's weirs how the booster works . But that's surprising it started the struggle bus . I wonder if there is a 24v one now that would be a handy piece of kit :) . Stay safe and hope you have a good weekend

Well done mate keep doing what you're doing

I guess the advertisers are doing exactly that and choosing to scroll up. Love the channel and your outlook xx

Don't forget to keep that Jump Pack charged. Looks a great bit of kit. I must get one

Chris on that Chinese red one I’m wondering if the top post the shoes pivot off is missing a fancy washer, that goes on in between the shoes and the springs 🤷‍♂️ also we used to put an arrow on the back of the backing plate next to the letterbox for the direction of cog to adjust up the shoes (on the trucks they were all different some even had 2 adjusters) so that when you slid under them with your spoon still half fuelled on dancing juice you could get them adjusted up quickly 👍

Fanatic vidoe mate you did a great job doing all them jobs at Daves D&J projects and you still have more to fix lol you have a good channel and the swearing doesn’t bother me at all that’s what real life is all about lol keep up the good work mate and can’t wait to see you go back to daves to do all them other jobs he’s got for you lol.

Love your contens pal 👍

Cursing is our therapy it saves a fortune on doctors bills haha😂great video lad

I had a seat belt like that, bloody breakers wanted 90 quid for a secondhand one. In the end a drop of oil cured the problem, I think it dampened the lock so it worked ok.

i use the same topdon on my 6 cylinder tractors, works a treat. i've also got a sealey one that never works properly and cost twice the price.

Have used a jumper similar to the one that you have. no problem jumping totally dead batt. Have to fully charge jumper first. Only comes with surface charge

Just found ur channel through p&b ...ur fukin hilarious mate..lol...gonna have to go bak and watch all the rest of your vids now😅..cheers from New Zealand bro!

That Birdie is adorable. You are a great Dad

Another great video has always chris 👍

Brilliant 👏

Here we go top man 👍👍👍 ( please don’t swear anymore I get really offended ) fu** that bring on more mate 👍👍👍👍😜✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Good show that man golly good show and all on a Sunday morning I'm impressed weekend struggles

Great video Chris. Them topdon are good I've got a slightly older one it's called a volcano 1500 it's worked every time I've used it. Mine is about 15 or 16volts fully charged so when the starter kicks in it pulls the voltage down to nearer 12v to start. My m8 used to use his 18v makita battery to jump start his works van two big washers and jump leads the starter pulls the 18 volts down to nearer the 12 and it works if the vehicle starts well. Plus there useful power bank mine has 2x usb and a cigarette lighter socket to plug in. Keep it fully charged it will serve you well m8.

My dad told me 55 years ago that many a good conversation was spoiled for want of a few Fu-ks. 😂 and has I spent all my working life repairing trucks it was good advice.

TopDon going up in the world Chris! Another entertaining video.

Yes Chris hellicoil is about 70 years old I used them on an Old Ford anglia in the 60s Chris they work a treat 👍👍 keep on the struggle Chris 😂😂

Get that Top Don charged up . I have a Duracell version it will start a 3 litre Chrysler. Great video just the job for Sunday morning .

how do chris heard plenty of swearing though my working life been called a few too lol not offended chris carry on with the vlogs dude for funks sake lol its only words for god sake stick and stones will break my bone but name will never hurt me lol. the struggle is real on the swearing front its real life chris for sure. keep liking and subcribing people d and j and b aand p paving yeah chris tell it how it is matey.

"Bloody good show "!! Chris!

Keep up the good work buddy well done 👏

Hi Chris. Another cracking video mate. B and p dAnd j. What more could you ask for. Have a good week Chris 👍

That's a handy little jump pack. Be careful of the durite 12/24 one that's about the same size, they have a habit of exploding...

Boy Chris the Canadian you tube is putting 2 ads every 2 minutes it seems. Love the D&J visits, I think they suggested you to me

Morning Chris……you and an electric van……😂. the extension cable would need to be hellish long….because you would forget to unplug in the morning as you leave home in a struggling rush…….lol. 👍🇮🇲😂😂😂

Could be a load of possibilities for draining the battery but it should be easy to check if the engine earth is in good condition.

Hi Chris ....nice to see David dropping off the wood FOC what a great guy and I wish I lived closer as I'd of had some off D and J ....plenty of uses before it turns to heat!! Everyone swears and I like swearing ...if people don't (£uck off I say 🤣🤣🤣). It's a working channel this not white collar .... As for retirement .... it's wonderful!! Not about staying in bed but not being ruled by your watch or day or trying to cram stuff in .... obviously you won't have the disposable income but if you can see past that a life virtually stress free Is worth 40k less....trust me. My two favourite channels ....The Struggler and D and J ...Great people and staff 👍🏻👍🏻 as are B and P ....hard workers and loving the life and the bants!! Great vlog ....be safe , be kind G 🦉🦉🙏

Bloody good Wood👍🤣🤣

Bloody Good Video 👍 swearing is normal workplace banter it would be good to stop or be able to control it 🤣🤣🤣 jump pack is great bit of kit will get you out of trouble for sure.

Chris it gets better every time mate

Good video Chris 👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍🍻

This is the first time I've watched your videos but I knew about you from D&J and then again with B&P. Aren't a copy of Senior Struggler? You're right, we never see Senior Dave on D&J either, I've been following them almost since they started the You Tube stuff. Cheers bud and about swearing, if people don't like it, they don't have to watch it. I was just thinking that sometimes when I watch children might be around me and that could be the reason some people may be complaining. For me, whatever makes you and your channel genuine is what matters, the rest is all talk. Cheers and GOD BLESS.

Decent mix on that video pal keep on struggling

Think the battery tester I’ve got in my van is topdon, not a bad bit of kit tbf. Just thinking, would it be a good idea to install a battery master Turn off switch on the struggle Bus, save faffing about disconnecting it - also added security because you can take the plastic knob out when it’s off

Cracking vid always a struggle 👍

Thank you for being you Chris.I agree i work in the building trade and there is nothing better than ah oh FFS man lol 💙❤️👌🏻

Good job lad's Like the td5 ones got 2 of them lol

great video mate - you don’t sweat much anyway mate ? you wanna see swearing 🤬 get round my house while we’re playing monopoly! 😂

Chris a bit of D and J and B and P all in one day. Aren't we lucky. Decent video as always, love how your Archie gets mucked in. Heard got dog kidnapped so will be going back to Nottingham real soon. One way getting you back ... Birdie joining the struggle to, bless her.
