![ЛЕБЕДЕВ у ДУДЯ: муху не обманешь 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E74h5fvVrqs/mqdefault.jpg)
As for being a part 147 practical instructor, I could not have explained it better! Specially with that much of humor! Now my 30 students can learn toolboxing..............
This is the older wizard type dude you dream of having available on the flight line when questions arise and also you love to see others with energy and passion for aircraft maintenance! The military is not the place you typically find such individuals and I look forward to transitioning to commercial aviation and watching the videos on this channel along the way
I just retired from about 30 years as an aircraft aftermarket repair technician. One of my favorite tools were the Proto spline drive ratcheting combination wrenches. Not as pricey as Snap-on but very good quality. Quality tools was my highest priority because I had to fix what I screwed up!
This is an awesome video I would love to see you give us an idea for a portable toolbox that could be used by guys in general aviation who doesn’t have room or ability to move a huge toolbox place to place but still has enough tools to do your job without weighing a ton. Thanks and keep posting these videos
Awesome vid, I'm close to finishing my A&P certs and got a deal on a travel size tool bag from school with basic aviation tools but now I want some more
That's some real excitement coming outta ya, boy! Love it lol I also get very excited about tools and airplanes. The Snap On guy description made me laugh. Though, I love my Snap On guy. He's a great young guy, former Army. Just a real honest dude and always ready to help with warranty repairs/replacements. Never bitches about anything. In fact, I can't say I've ever had a Snap On guy that I didn't like. None have been pushy or rude and once they know you pay your bills and buy things that you actually need, they'll work with you on price if they are able. Sometimes they just can't give you a discount, but I've gotten calls from them all like "hey man, next month there's gonna be a BOGO on sockets...just thought you'd like to know."
One tool I used very often was a screw buster for a rivet gun. I worked in the sheetmetal skill most of the time. On a C-check crew we opened the panels every third day. The airline did provide a cheap version. If you remove lots of fasteners you need one. And a decent tap wrench handle that you can hammer on to hold easy outs (General brand or better size #0- 1/4").
Im about to start my brand new job as an A&P and this video helped me a lot. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Nice video. Interesting to watch other tradesman in different fields
Great video man. Too many people just dive in spend WAY too much money. And thank you for the safety glasses bit. I would say the smaller drills are good if you're gonna be removing a bunch of panels. Those little 12V ones from Bosch or dewalt are on point. Keep up the good work!
Regarding the King Air Cowl "screwdriver", it's for cowl fasteners on a lot of old airplanes (i.e. Warbirds). Get one and join the world of really cool airplanes. Pick up some radial engine tools while you're at it (good news is that they are all used and often at decent prices). Some old Indian Motorcycle tools work-- like the one for the knurled fitting on the valve lifter tube on many radials. Spark plug sockets: get the one from Snap-on and the one from ATS. ATS is good but the one from Snap-On sometimes fits better , like if there's a CHT "washer" involved (I think. I remember the Snap-On was better on one particular cylinder of a Jacobs radial). Nice video. Thanks for posting.
thank you good work on the video im about to start school for the A&P
Set of double open angle wrenches is nice. Flipping the wrench 2 or 4 times is better than the alternative!
Okay, I watched this some time ago, so I don't remember if you mentioned these, but I needed mine just yesterday: a nice, long locking surgeon's forceps. I needed mine when I dropped a washer down past the battery box and into the belly of my Tri Pacer. I could see it down there, and I finally managed to lock a 10" forceps on it. You don't need actual surgical quality for these; I got mine at Harbor Freight. Edit: these are more of a "hemostat" than a forceps.
Been a aircraft mechanic for year 16 years however all my tools were provided by my employer. (Military aircraft) I'm in the process of improving my personal toolbox and stumbled across this fantastic video. Loved the "when you drop shit" and "these aren't my vise grips" part. Awesome video!
Thank you for the information.
We need more videos highly entertaining but informative
I feel like this guy could be jack Nicholson reviewing his tool box
