Front Toward Enemy
I spent a couple of years turning wrenches at an equipment rental place. They had in-floor heat and it was unbelievable. Pull an excavator into the shop in the middle of the winter, and an hour later crawl under it to change a hose. Nice warm floor to lay on.
I have a small handful of Snap On stuff, mostly picked up at yard sales. Too pricey for a part time shade-tree mechanic. Guy I worked with had a box full of the stuff tho.
Trying to get a wheel off a skid-steer once, didn't have anything in my box NEARLY big enough. Squeak handed me a 3/4 drive 36" Snap On breaker bar. Still no go. Squeak dug up a 4' piece of pipe and proceeded to snap the knuckle on the breaker bar.
"No problem, the truck stops here every week"
Wound up borrowing a 1" drive air impact from the Class 8 truck place down the road and driving it with one of our 180 CFM diesel air compressors...
My dad works in the coal mines (for now) and goes to the 1 1/2" drive impact for the stupid stuff! He's got sockets to 5 inch. $300.00 for one socket, but when ya gotta twist the big nuts......
