      @@ToolBoxTour where I live in Mississippi there are a lot of BOUJEE private schools. They like to keep the buses looking good. We are an international truck dealership. So they send us work from all over. Any international trucks, school buses, fire trucks, ambulances, or CV model trucks. We do mostly bluebird, Thomas, and international school buses. I have work lined up for months

    2:40 my first Snap on 2 bank box, I fabricated a lift kit like that.
    Only difference, I used a full length on front and back.
    With the tubing running full length, it doesn’t show as big of a gap at the bottom. And you could potentially use a fork lift to lift the box up.

    Jonathan, You might have a hard time convincing yourself, but just know--without someone like you working on these school busses, there would be absolutely no way for most kids to get to school and learn. You need to separate the duty of repair with your work environment. Figure out which one you don't like and change it.

      The racks that I 3D printed were designed by me specifically for that brand of pass through sockets. If I can figure out how to share the file, I will gladly do so (just keep in mind they are a very loose fit, and wouldn't do any good outside of a tool box). If you're asking about any of the others, I could let you know what they are, and where I got them.

      Yes, we do torque hose clamps. If a heater hose were to slip off of a heater under a seat and burn someone’s legs, it would be pretty serious. It is also part of the pre-delivery process on new buses.
