awesome to hear! us aircraft guys or i find ones with a bit of experience generally have the sort of set up!! cant wait to show you guys my new setup now that ive gone mobile!

First of all, wtf is freshers. Second, an AME licence is quite a few steps above the average A&P. You would pretty much have to go back to school. And start the apprenticeship over.

I've heard that a-lot what does that mean, to shadow tools?

Does depend on where you work. It's a smart thing to do for sure! But it does take up a lot of extra unusable space. As you could see. My box was pretty full already

Hey John, I worked for a regional airline for a while and now I'm working for a really big airline. I'd recommend getting a box that's about waist to chest height, but no taller. If you're working on small machines or aircraft with very low wings like the CRJs that I used to work on, a tall box will not be able to roll under the wing, which can make moving around the hangar a bit of a pain in the ass. My box is only 18 inches deep, but I'd recommend 24 inches deep if you can find/afford it, because it'll give you a lot more workspace on top of the box. Also be sure the drawers are on bearings so that they open and close nice and smoothly, and nice big castors to roll the box around with are also nice to have.

Mr. Popo dude chill out Jesus Christ

Don Gonsalves I would say mechanics. More diversity and easier to find work anywhere there may be planes. But they are all good! I specialize in sheet metal repair. But wrench almost more than I do wrench. It's a nice addition to a licence. Here in Canada it's a little different.

some men are larger than others

I see Dave’s moms been telling stories about me again

Alastair Scoular haha...but they are soo expensive. And too big! I really love the little space this one takes up. Not to mention the drawers and castors are still tip top.

someppls kids I agree. Just figured you were a professional

steam fanatic the green drawer dividers are from snap on. Dirt cheap unlike the rest of their stuff. Lol

Alex Eddy yeah man. I hear yah

91rss have had this conversation many time before with many of employers and a few inspectors as well. It the hangar itself has adequate lighting that is all the employer is responsible for. They will not be liable for lighting accessories. However in the past 15 years in the biz I've learned that if your employer won't provide batteries, chances are they are cutting corners elsewhere as well and maybe it's a place a guy shouldn't be working at in the first place. It's a small price to pay and I have never had an issue getting batteries from an employer. Even if I stockpile them for future use.

khalid it is valve grind compound. Not what it was intended for. But works like a hot damn!

someppls kids thanks for the reply , I asked the tool room in mycompany and the say we dont have it (am working in Airbus 320 ).

khalid you should be able to find it at any car parts place. The stuff we have is made be Permatex. There is different grits a guy can choose from. Used for lapping valves in four stroke engines. But has many other good uses.
