I hate that when I lose a tool, it happens more often than I want to admit. The one that hurt the most was a $700 mistake when I lost my fieldpiece probes kit, I think I left it on top of the van when I was putting my tools away. Most of my customers or managers call me when I leave tools behind, but some of them tell you that you did not leave it there, and you know, you left it there. One night I came back to a restaurant to do a repair on a prep table cooler, and what did I find in the chef tools box? One of my UEI thermometers, bingo.
That's the worst thing when I notice I'm missing a tool out of my bag. The thing is, I look around before I leave a job. And I still loose tools. Must be age creeping up on me
I've always been good at setting tools and other things down in places that I don't remember. I'll remember everywhere I went and did things on a job except for one place. It will be totally lost from my memory. This happened when I was young as well. I'll wander around for quite some time trying to find the tool, or the keys or whatever never being able to find them. Sometimes I'll end up going back to those places some time later, and then get that instant flash of memory 'oh yeah, I was there and forgot about it so never looked'.
I've always been doomed in this way.
To compensate for this evil trick the universe has played on me I work to be conscious of everywhere I go, and everywhere I set things down. For me wearing a tool pouch and putting the tools out of my bag in the pouch helps eliminate the problem plus putting the tools at each reach on my hip.
So is your spelling. Lose***
Hey Dave long time viewer. It’s been a solid few years since I’ve watched one of your videos and you just came to mind! I would like to say thanks for your content and knowledge and all that you taught me! I am a refrigeration mechanic from Australia and used your videos to help educate and teach me throughout my apprenticeship and being thrown in the deep end as an apprentice going onto refrigeration service calls solo. I watched you throughout my second year all the way up to my completion. It’s been a solid few years now since I’ve been qualified! Thank you for your videos and spirit you are a legend. Much love Aussie Fridgy bro.
That’s awesome. How’s the job going?
@@NorCal-refrigeration great Dave. We look after a nation wide bottle shop company over here which mainly consists of coldrooms and cases. Australia is much lagging behind in the world regards refrigeration. I am slowly transitioning to a management role. I am keen to develop my system design skills and furthermore!
Nice fix, maybe Mr Easter bunny will return you Fluke 16! 🙂 Happy Easter!
When i lose a tool that i love, i can no longer focus on the call that im on. Oh and i like my supco universal relay. I will replace them and sometimes go back with oem later. Or sometimes i just leave them in there.
Uei 386, phoenix, rising from the ashes!
One of the first ones I bought based on your vid...7 or 8 yrs ago?
Damn time flies!
Crazy isn’t it.
“You know you gotta recover the charge to mess with these terminals” shit had me weeeak hahaha
Dave great job don’t worry we all done of leaving some tool. l had a coworker that use to leaving refrigeration gauge still hook up to the racks on the system .l gave them back 3 time after that l kelp them even he lost an commercial giant ladder that folded in different positions there was meeting they couldn’t find it they gave up . I found at a grocery store after 1 year I call my supervisor & manager they both said keep the ladder l still have in my basement they bought other one .
I've been waiting a year to get my variac back from a nice big job (unrelated to HVAC). If there's on-going work that pays well I get more lenient then I should.
Great save on that compressor! Nobody wants to swap a compressor if it isn't really bad.
Side show bob who doesn't have enough work, because he sucks at his job is the only guy that wants to swap compressors without going through the start components first, I have definitely met a few of those guys. If run cap, start cap test good and the compressor isn't out on overload or internal overload and it's not even trying to start, it's got to be the potential relay!
You may be a ding dong sometimes but at least you know your shit! NorCal keeps it 💯! Nice stickers.
Since you can't be happy every day, you have to be happy every day. Especially for technicians
That's when you tell the person where you think but not sure you left it that you're on your way to get it. So far it has worked every time for me. If you don't they'll hide it from you and play stupid. Lost many flashlights forgetting them in furnaces.
Hope you find your fluke. Left my whole tool bag at a grocery store years ago. Had to go retrieve it first thing in the morning before work.
Never seen it blow a charge thu compressor windings but herd stories about it
Yeah this is Bruce from Bruce's Refrigeration Easton Pennsylvania you remind me of myself when I want you go through the same scenarios Auto restaurants a lot of refrigeration HVAC also the more Refrigeration I would say been doing it for 43 years and 63 still going one guy that's it
Goowd stuff Brother Dave. Happy Easter to you and your family. Stay safe and be well Brother
Happy Easter to you and yours
Nice repair super tech mex 😂😂 keep up
Nice work Dave. I hope you find your meter.
🌴👏🌴 Epic job... I rock a Mr. Tippy as well.. great tool bag 🎒 😅
It is. The xxl tippy is the best.
The 116 took the place of the 16 but I never have liked mine . Like You I would really be sad if /when my 16 gives up.
I found it. 🤘🤘
I sure hope you get your old meter back...
you bumped that cover pulling the 3rd terminal,
I jumped over here,
go find your meter
Great fix dave 👍
Happy Easter
HEY love your videos, on an older video you changed out the bearings on a restaurant hood fan, you said you added grease to them but most of them don't have zerk valves on them? How do you add the grease to them, can't find any video on how to do that
nice work Dave, best supertech ever !
I hate losing tools. About once a year i lose the KLEIN 3/8X7/16 offset speed rachet on top of a Traulsen and the UEI Thermometer.
I've lost so many uei thermometers
hope you find your meter!
I would recommend the mars16023,b13-471,the compressor is worth it.keep finding my thermometers years later checking delta on residential.
Problem is Fluke 16 are obsolete it was replaced with another meter if you find one again let me know where you find one only if you find the original Fluke 16
Good job Dave. Happy Easter to you and your family. Hope you find your meter brotha 🤘🏻⚡️🤘🏻⚡️🤘🏻⚡️
Same to you and yours
Those Universal relays are only a temporary to get it going to go back and replace an Ashley with the right one with no one goes back
Exactly
i think the sad day was dave not realizing the compressor was not running and saying the sight glass was full 🙄😂
So true. I even called myself a donkey 🫏 and made the donkey sound 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍 I hope he calls you back for your meter
🤘👍🤘⚡️⚡️
What universals do you use?
I’ve been using those Icm ones and have had great luck . Love the fact that they’re dual voltage
I’ve had great luck with them
Also have a 1984 Electra Glide iCarly man
Do you still have and use the Supco start kit for small compressors….
Those things are awesome, but can’t find one to buy….
yes i use it all the time.
I see before evaporators fins very rotten due to the same reasons, will be more beneficial if is used an evaporator with copper fins? I remember BOHN have some models.
Nothing new after two! Definitely no more after four!
DING DONG!!! Lol
Bummer dude! It will show up when you buy a new one..
O doubt
Everytime
UEI changed their name to Kane!
Wait.... your supposed to pull the charge to pull the terminal wires off? 30 years of doing this and ive never heard of such.
Oh ya there literature on it believe it or not
303 thumbs up
Did you getit back then ?
I seen the one day you were with your bike or something that's why I said it
Cant you buy coils that are treated to keep acid from eating it ??
They still get eaten
👍🇺🇸💪❄️
Man I hate it when you realize you leave a tool at the customer house and then realize where it is. but it’s 1hr30min away and your like mother trucker! Is it worth it lol how much was that tool? 😂 3hr round trip for a tool.
Supertech fix
TH-cam police came there and busted u Dave lol
What is your day job?
Bye!👋
Lol, it's not dry. it's green from leak die!!! Now it gonna die, lmao. Uhm i think its the thermostat. Can you just top it off... 😂
i dont know about some norcal , ... here... WE'RE NOT- CAL .. smFh
What’s Not Cal ?
The wall thermostats are trash
I constantly loose good tools I just chalk it up as getting a new tool. 😂
I was shopping until I found it. 😂
If I knew for a fact where I left my tool, meter etc. and the person didn't want to give it back to me. I would include the cost of a replacement if and when they called me back to do another job.
Sorry, it's just morally wrong to keep a man's tools that he happens to have left on your jobsite. We need to be much kinder to each other than that. If you think you can rationalize that since he left the tool, it's now automatically yours speaks lowly of your thought process.
Low baller
😂😂😂😂
I got the XXL for my son for work because he’s a big boy.
And when he picks up the XXL he makes it look like a little bag for school to carry books in .
