      @@busbqbill449 well it's true that you cannot load a circuit for a proper voltage drop test with a power probe, but it's also true that your load pro test light has to be used in conjunction with a multimeter because the load pro test light is just a set of leads as far as I can tell but I havent ever used one with that said I'm glad that that paticular tool is good for you. Although with that said no other test lights have this function so far as im aware. So to make a general statement that a test light is more versatile is quite short sighted considering that a power probe is a self contained unit and can do more than 99% of test lights out there it's also true that depending on what model of power probe you buy you can also measure resistance on a circuit and a plethora of other things that are essential to electrical diagnosis that even your load pro wont do in a standalone unit. Therefore the logical conclusion is that a power probe is still far more versatile than a test light except for possibly your one specific use case which you sighted with your load pro and since your load pro is basically just some over glorified test leads and not really a test light I still fail to see how a power probe is less versatile but that's my 2 cents. I'm glad the load pro works for you and fits your needs

    whenever i work on a car, i always put the front driver side window down no matter the job so if the keys ever get stuck inside, the window is down and easy to get the keys or open the door so it’s a suggestion for you :)

      I do have an extra set of keys but still.

      @ConTheDon187 4 года назад

      The problem is finding good techs willing to do mobile repairs. That mixed with the Corona virus is why my boss's business didn't work in Colorado, and why I took over most the accounts by myself. But it can work, it just takes commitment and time, which my boss was getting old and wanting to retire so he gave up on it.

    Common questions:
    I wear the face shield on my head to keep sweat and hair out of my eyes. There are some tools i use often that i still don't have so this is an ongoing project. No I don't have a vice. I don't need one often so I haven't gotten one yet. My truck is so big because I wanted to get people attention and its nice to be able to move round in amongst my tools. and it locks up very well. I got the truck on Facebook. but you can find them at government auctions for about 7 thousand dollars in good shape. (this one had 63k miles).

    • @johnaclark1
      @johnaclark1 4 года назад +4

      @@soota6083 If you're using an impact wrench then get impact sockets. Chrome sockets are a bit to hard for impact use and will take a beating. Really, you need both. The thickness of impact sockets makes them not usable in some circumstances where clearance around the bolt/nut head is an issue.

    I recently ordered car door magnets from instaprint for my truck, pretty inexpensive and also can get like tailgate magnets; maybe for the ranger when you use that? Wraps can get expensive that’s why I’m not ready for one yet lol the mail truck looks LEGIT though

    i'm assuming the autozones in your state are much better than the ones here in southern california. i quit buying parts at autozone due to all the faulty new parts i had to return. i mainly go to o'reily's and napa now. i'm no mechanic, i just work on my own truck to save $$ lol. another good video.
