Dude you got a sweet setup. I really thought about getting my a&p after i separated, but ended up working at a Kenworth dealership. How is working on helicopters? I worked on the radiation detection equipment that flew on the WC135.
Worked with a guy who was Army and he brought in his own tools for installing commercial radios in business and police vehicles. All foam to prevent FOD. Still have several Snap On ratchets that are over 65 years old and still working, the rest are Craftsman from the early 80’s.
That's one of the best toolbox tours I've seen...interesting, informative with some good explanations of how the tools are used. Also one of the best organized boxes with everything in its own place...you can always spot someone who has served in the military👍
Your videos are awesome. You step in and ask questions just the right amount. You're an excellent host. Your video skills are great, and the prices coming up on the screen is so helpful and entertaining. Nobody is doing it the way you are. I love every one.
I was a 2A753 in the USAF. I do not feel comfortable not having a full shadowed CTK. I even want to I.D. all my tools and have a master document where I am able to document damaged/broken/removed/replaced tools. Accountability is #1 and thats how I learned tool husbandry and thats how im gunna keep it. Im suprised companies dont take tool accountability it as rigorously as the USAF does.
I have done 4 or 5 aviation boxes, and none of them are shadow foamed like I have seen in many other aviation setups. I guess it's just up to the employer, but it seems most of the private sector is not as stringent.
How can you tell that someone is TRULY organized? Not by opening the 'top draw', because that draw is always impeccably in order. It is by having a look at their 'random parts and stuff' draw. As soon as Tyler opened his, I knew we were in the presence of a Master.
Sweet setup! I love that color combo on the box. I like the butcher block top on the other box, you don’t see those much anymore. Thanks for your service Tyler.
Another great video.... Ive said it before.... I'll say it again..... you are now the ONLY Tool Box Tours that I watch consistantly.... You show the most interesting people and the best tools. Thanks my friend. my invitation to you still stands.... when you are in the austin Texas area.... you can show my boxes.... Im no longer a professional but still work on my stuff.... currently just a 48 cj2a but soon a 55 Chevy Gasser.....
What a clean and well organized box! I've been an A&P since 2017 and now I own an Automotive performance welding and fabrication shop. Wanted to mention one thing. Yes his tools are new and clean because he obviously cleans them but the main reason is the type of work. Aviation is night and day difference compared to an automotive maintenance. Everything is much cleaner and obviously precise. I've been into cars since I could remember and never wanted to become an auto mechanic due to it being so dirty and underpaid in most cases. I wanted to work on something more intricate but still utilizing similar skills so chose the A&P route. I still hold my license and will go back to it if necessary. Working in Aviation is one of the best jobs I've ever had. Probably one of the few jobs that you can paid really well and only work for half of your shift or less. The major downside is if you get into a major airline you will most likely have to work night shift and have odd days off.
My favorite clean organized did I mention clean that tells me a bunch Tyler Thank you for your service I want one of those 68's so bad or a Mr. Big 🤦🏻♂️another great Saturday video 👍😎👍
Ive been in aviation for 15 years. I see a lot of new guys buy big right off the bat and end up not using a lot of what they bought. I did the same for a bit. The truck shows up and its easy to buy stuff you don't need because it goes on the truck tab.
@jabawocki9462 I got a basic order of tekton in, snap on 808cf diagonal cutters and 61cf duckbills they recommended me getting the blue point safety wire pliers for fast warranty as a few have broke. That's about it besides a cotter pin puller. Knipex is coming in a few days and my m12 fuel screwdriver came. A guy walked on the truck and got a 16oz deadbloe ball peen for like 110, I got a couple icons in the buy 4 icon hand tools and get 25% off. I did step back from tekton on 30/60 and crows feet. They're made in USA but I didn't have the budget so picked up icons again on sale based on size recommendation. Company list seems out of date but I know my team lead and he's frugal so he gave points on what to get from the truck vs not. Realistically I bet you guys could say you need these 3 out of a whole set and save money even if the only individuals came on a truck. * side note, Tekton wobble extentions are a wobble plus that I didn't realize until they showed up. Oh and in the extension accessory kit...read the lengths there's an 18 and 24 in the 3/8 kit. I didn't realize I was getting that big.
@jabawocki9462 i dont think my reply posted. So there were 4 things recommended from the truck: 808cf, 61cf, blue point safety wire pliers for warranty, and their cotter pin puller. I ended up getting the mini picks and a std pair and long pair. I was going to get 3 mayhew sets for similar money but would have used just a few. I ordered recommended knipex and then tekton. Since I'm a 36 yr old to apprentice and they didn't recognize the company's A&P schooling, Tekton offered me their student 15% for 90 days.
Nice to see a couple of Icon things sprinkled in there. I’ll never be able to afford a 20k toolbox and full snap on gear as a weekend warrior but I really enjoy seeing these setups
That is an awesome color on that epic! I'm also so envious of how clean his stuff is. I'm super organized, but work in diesel so it is so hard to keep my stuff clean.
Nicely organized box to get your work done! I started work as a tech in aviation testing 2 years ago and love it. Like a combination of being a millwright and an A&P. I have mic's and tiny taps in my box as well as 4ft pry bars and multi ton rigging equipment. We get to use power tools assembling the test equipment also 😁
Please do more aviation tool box tours! They're my favorite along with engine builders. I have a playlist anyone can checkout that is all aviation tool box tours, I think I have almost everyone on youtube.
I kept tidy when fitting turbines. now I'm not so concerned when a tool is a miss, nothing is going fail horribly with my name on it. Two sets of eyes my friends.
The major difference between working for general aviation and working for an alrline is that you don't need all those tools. An airline will take care of providing all of the specialty and measuring tools that you will need to work on the airplane.All measuring tools go through a calibration program, torgue wrenches, micrometers, calipers, etc. All you need to have is your basic hand tools, sockets, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, ratchets etc. Even electrical tools such as multimeters, wire strippers, and wire crimpers are on a calibration program. The pay is even way better.
I use rigid and love them i just warrantied 2 1/2 impacts that were 3-4 years old and its nice to never have to buy batteries again also a lot of rigids new stuff kinda looks a lot like Milwaukie it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same tools
And here I am trying to get young auto techs to stop cross-threading drain plugs & lug nuts because they won't work without a power tool in their hand.. should've went A&P.. where you actually have time to look up service information
@@COBRO98 One of the best auto mechanics I ever worked with worked aviation for 20 years prior to auto. I asked why he switched and he said because the amount of liabillity, stress and regulation. I switched to aviation for a year and couldnt stand the PMs but was impressed that ALL required tooling was available
