Just throwing that out there. Also who cares about being green around a shop. Everything outside of machining I learned by doing, fucking up, starting all over until I got it right. Made note of mistakes and learned my lesson.
Tools are personal preference. If you're just a home owner pretty much anything you buy will get the job done. If you're going to be using that tool more than a few times a month buy something contractor grade.
Like I'm a big fan of Milwaukee linemen pliers, where John uses Klein, I cut nails all day with mine and Milwaukee seems to holds an edge longer.
@Joseph McCarthy - NJ oh and READ THE FUCKING MANUAL
You wouldn't believe how many people out there don't know the potential of their tools.
Also SnapOn, new holland, Browning are better than craftsman and popular mechanic because they use a better quality steel. Those cheap pig iron dropped forged wrenches break easy.
And I believe that SnapOn does on site repair too. I know the Milwaukee reps will do repair for cheap.
Sorry, just thinking of things.
@RevStench I'll ask you some question when I get a break from work.
@Deleted User every mechanic I know uses nothing but SnapOn and New Holland. My boss only uses New Holland wrenches.
He says they hold up longer than any other wrenches, they don't strip as fast as others
Their socket set has been on point for me for 8 years.
The case itself has cheap snaps but the wrenches drivers and sockets have been really sturdy
Haha that's all companies, crappy cases but nice tools, I have a set of Pittsburgh sockets and most are stripped out, I broke a few, so I'm actually looking for a new set now. I was at the New Holland dealer yesterday looking at their sets. Funny that we're having this conversation today. I like real world feed back when it comes to tools.
@RevStench you won’t go wrong with em.
Snap on tools are amazing I have a small set to do work on my car
@RevStench generators and compressors at work and a project car held together by zipties and bailing wire 😂
Bought a generac powerwasher two weeks ago to clean my implements. Changed. My. life.
Hi guys. Indy tech here. 5 years experience plus 2 years of tech school.
Nice. Welcome aboard!
Awesome, welcome bro @Justice - WI
No start. Replaced battery, plugs and wires, coil pack, camshaft and crankshaft position sensors. P0340 on MIL. 01 Caravan 2.4L 4-cyl. @here
Is the starter just not cranking?
Could be ignition switch
@sigruna14 no start how? Won’t turn over? No juice at all? Somewhere in between?
Cranks but doesn't run.
Fuel pump was replaced recently and I hear it whine when I turn key to on so don't think it's that.
@Deleted User If you're talking about wires then hell no they ain't clean, there's oil everywhere.
Maybe try cleaning off the contacts to make sure that the oil isnt impeding the flow of current
Starter could be bad
Seems unlikely though
@sigruna14 Check inertia switch
No, it's a safety device that cuts off the fuel line if you flip. As the vehicle gets older, they become more sensitive
It's just a spring loaded normally closed switch. You can test it by pressing the button, and if the car starts and then stops, it's the switch
@John O - But if that switch were tripped, would I still hear the fuel pump whine when I turn the key to on?
Yeah
It stops the fuel line, not the electrical circuit going to the motor
The intention is that if the car gets in an accident, the fuel line doesn't pour all over you if the hose breaks
@John O - Where is the reset button? I Googled it but nothing definitive.
Consult the owner's manual
It was under my dash in my old truck
