Still, can't wait to see the loot! Get a photo of your SO guy with the big smile!

shanker · Jan 28, 2011

wow...I'm helping my brother-in-law start up a new company from scratch, the margin on his product (as a wholesaler) is about 34%,..thats just the margin on the product he's selling itself though, from manufacturing from raw materials to packaging.

Whats crazy is he'll sell a product for say 70 dollars a pail to a full service company, who'll turn around and charge the end customer about 190-210 per pail for it.

copterdoctor · Jan 29, 2011

had to remove pics due to a spyware issue with imageshak... going to rehost images somewhere else, any suggestions??

bchee · Jan 29, 2011

Aren't you required to have those FOD designated tools?

Boiler · Jan 29, 2011

I've never even held a snap on ratcheting wrench. Keep that in mind when I say that the blue point ratcheting wrenches are by far the best I've used, or even handled.

mkdive · Jan 29, 2011

Sheeze nice......helicopters. I went for those pictures first. Man I wish they were high res.....I would have them as wallpapers right now! That glass cockpit is unreal! very, VERY cool!

And the new tools aren't bad either!

Thanks for sharing!

jeepmedic · Jan 29, 2011

Kenwc · Jan 29, 2011

When I viewed the first pic of your choppers it sent my PC into some virus tailspin....looks like everone else was able to view it...but man..it knocked my PC for a loop. I've seen that happen alot with Imageshack....not your fault...

You hit the nail on the head Chad.

ourkid2000 · Jan 29, 2011

Those Snap On scrapers are nice but don't you find that the edges get mangled and they don't work well anymore? If you're scraping PRC that is.....I'm assuming that's what you'll be using them on? I try to put the edge back on with a belt sander but they're never quite as sharp.

Even the cheapest of companies I've worked for gave us those things for free (usually Browntool).....as many as we needed.

Hey Boiler

If you ever get a chance try out a flank drive plus wrench, you'll be amazed. Get your SO man to show you how the FDP wrench works.

make sure you ctrl-alt-del and close IE that way, clicking "ok" installs malware onto your pc.

I have to commute into Anchorage now, it's 63 miles each way.... I work in the hangar in the winter, and will be out in the Alaskan bush in the summer... so no, don't ever really work close to home. lol

you just have to be careful to not marr the bolt or nut you're tightening.. which is a big no no on in aviation..

copterdoctor · Jan 30, 2011

and sorry to everyone that's getting spyware..... I think it's imageshak...
I tried uploading pics directly on garage journal, but goes all the way through the upload process, then gives me an error message... I can upload 1 or 2 at a time and it's fine, but more than that and I get an error.....
