Reason I ask, my oldest grandson is taking diesel mechanics as a junior, and he can work on trucks. Might be worth a shot....... What school district I love the idea.

rickeieio Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Grandson is in south east Indiana. Perhaps 20 or more districts support the vocational school. They teach all the industrial arts, plus things like upholstery, child care, senior nursing, cosmetology, etc. I bet there's one near you.

RickS Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Things change fast in the cordless tool game and the above shootout is a little out of date. There are much better impacts available with a lot more power today. :) Rick & Carey,Excel W41GKE Wild Cargo Toyhauler Volvo 730, D13, I-shift, 500/1850Brabus Smart Car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the local CCs in So. CA has diesel mechanics - for sure they rebuild all sizes of engines, but not sure if they can accommodate HDT (tractor) for ? duration. (have *not* visited that one) When I see the CC auto shop instructor I know (different CC) - I will ask. He's retired now - the CC he worked at has an awesome shop - he would "fit in" some of the local street rodders "after classes" for brief use of the facilities. (visited that one).

Not that does diesel. We have magnet schools not vocational schools, we used to have a vocational school then magnets took over. Remember I am a high school teacher in Las Vegas.

sclord2002 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Cory, being a tool nut, I have several inpact wrenches...corded, air and battery. Since i have gotten the battery impacts, my corded and air wrenches just gather dust. For light/medium duty, my Ridgid 1/2 inch does great and for heavy duty use, my Milwaukee high torque 1/2 inch will do anything I have used it on, including 22.5 truck wheel lugs. My toy store, Home Depot, is my go-to place. They have good sales, give a 10% military discount and are located nation wide. This has just been my experience.
