I noticed the sticker on the top right of your box. I just accepted an airframe to apprentice job at the Lincoln location yesterday. I will have to go through this super slow, I got the tool list but guys in the shop will always be able to say this is the best thing to get over something else.
@aptechknowledge I poorly wrote that, my apologies. Yesterday I accepted a job with Duncan as an airframe tech helper, after 90 days I will move to apprentice. I will have to rewat h this video to see all the tools you have in your toolbox. They gave me the recommended tool list, however, many times guys doing the work will give recommendations.
That is a really nice box. I work on completely unrelated equipment to the aircraft industry, but shadowing tools in foam is fascinating. I will do that someday just because I like it. I specialize in the diesel refrigeration units that keep cargo trailers at a constant temperature.
Hi there. There are advantages to working for a large company that has lots of specialty tools one can check out or the tool room. For example I don’t have to buy nearly as many tools. Thanks for watching
Dude I'm a car mechanic and have like 30× more tools ...even the measurements side have tuns more..not sure how u get away with just that but guess keeps cost lower so cool...
Simple really. I work for a large corporation and their facilities has tool rooms where we check out all sorts of specialty tools. So all I need to have is basic stuff. Also the company has different department such as: electrical/ avionics; structure/composite; paint; upholstery/interior; airframe; batteries/ tires; landing gear, and each department has specialty tools of their own. Therefore if I need a special tool I check it out from the tool room, or if I need a special job done I call the specialist in that category. Hope this helps
Most general auto mechanics are not paid anywhere near close enough to how much work they do and the wear on their body. I strongly recommend specializing in something. The highest paid mechanics barely have any tools. It’s all about knowledge.
You need alot more tools for auotmotive/ 2 wheelers. like, Impact, saws, thread restore tools, chisels, breaker bar, box full of sealants/ glue/ loctite etc Very nicely organized tho.
Exactly! It’s the way the company I work for has us inventory tools at the end of every job and every day. If a tool is missing, the airplane is not leaving until the tool is found.
Figured yall have to b more precise..like u not have and dial indicators or measure half a 10 thousand...guess thought did..use to work on turbines and everything was blueprint and measured..same with high performance motors..measured rods everything
That reminds me, we also have machine shops and in house teams of engineers with 3D printers and the likes. We have fabricating capabilities. We work on cutting edge technologies, reason why we’re compartmentalized and specialized. I work in the airframe department. Hope this satisfies your curiosity.
One thing to understand - a lot of things can be measured quickly with stuff such as a pair of calipers - such as "acceptable size is 1.125 inch to 1.130" But what a lot do not get- all precision tools in aviation have to regularly be checked for calibration- so really precise tools are usually not the mechanics responsibility
@@GruntHarley I just accepted a job with this same company and there's size requirements for boxes...roughly. I know it one set of documents for the tool list for Airframe you have to be able to see over the box when moving it around. Now if I'm 6'5" thats a lot different than 5'10". Most guys I saw only had the bottom so no hutches etc. I know a team lead and one weekend he walked me around and I didn't see any really under the plane but up near it.

Please forgive me, for English is my second language. Would you be so kind to explain again what you wrote? I don’t understand

Welcome my friend, welcome to the family.
Around $2100 for that box without the stainless top in the Lincoln area.

Thank you sir
Working on French aircraft but no facom tools lol thank you for the video

Sounds like cool gig...I had to buy everything and tools don't resell well once retire

I make 75k a year to b honest..it's not alot

Just curious, where did you get the shadow foam?
The employer provided it. They want the toolbox shadowed so they provide the foam and the time to do it.

That tool shadowing is utmost important..forget a tool and it gets tossed around by a compressor or turbine wheel..expensive mistake.

huge waste of space.i dont need foam to keep track of my tools..
I understand, but it’s a requirement where I work. The airplane won’t leave if I’m missing a tool.
That's very standard in the aviation world. I have a regular toolbox, and a "go" box- and every tool in both is shadowed
Specially if your Flight department wants ISBAO level 3 certification. Im just surprised you are allowed to rolll a toolbox under the wing.
