I've just started six months of chemotherapy struggler, recently found your channel and I know nothing about lorries but it's been a massive help watching. All the best to you and your family.
Great video as always Chris.Dave at D&J must be well chuffed that he has you to call on as you will always go that extra mile to serve your clients.Keep the content coming as its a real pleasure watching you at work.Top man.👍
Another cracking video Chris. We've all fallen for the hidden fuse ploy haven't we. At one time things like that crane would have had the circuit diagram printed on the inside of the lid to aid fault finding, today the manufacturers don't do that, so they can charge the extortionate call outs to fix em. By the way its a chip butty up here in Yorkshire.
Company called truck loader, unbelievable knowledge and will always give advice over the phone if your ever stuck, have used them a couple times and are life savers 🤙🤙
Another great video Chris, i do sympathies with you as a now retired commercial vehicle mechanic mate, nothing worse than spending hours out in the cold and rain chasing a fault !, then some one comes alone and sorts it in seconds !! lol been there mate !! keep up the good work !!.
Morning Chris……., bloodyhell, what an arse of a place to put a fuse, had similar on my oil boiler in the house, bloody thing was hidden, always a bloody fuse……aargh. , I see you found the “ Kickstarter” on Dave’s dog, my JRT has got one as well…..lol. Nice bit of struggling done this week…..woop woop 👍💪🇮🇲
You can jumpstart the grinder batteries with a good battery to get them to charge . Don’t do it for more than a couple minutes at a time because the struggle gets real.
Great diagnosis Chris, ref lack of power , but hidden fuse was your nemesis, on this occasion 😀 😉 . Yep, self-employed is great, no more boss, just twenty of them. Lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great week 😀
Great video Chris that's the first thing I've seen you couldn't do however as you say we are always learning and if you come across it again then you're the man MFI.Stay safe matey
for filling gearboxes I have an old fire extinguisher that I have welded an airline fitting into and also has a small pressure regulator set to 50psi, fill the extinguisher with oil and connect the air..easy..
Hi Chris, not sure if it will be the same issue as you're having with your batteries. But a lad I work with has a milwaulkee gun and the battery was completely dead, wouldn't register on charger. He hooked it up to another battery for 30 seconds, basically jump started it and then it charged perfectly! Great videos, keep it up!
What better way to start a Sunday than with a new video from the No1 youtuber, then followed with touring cars, by the way its called a chip bap. 🤣🤣👊, fair play chris, you don't see many mechanics roaming round on there backs inspecting trucks, enjoy wats left of the weekend.
Its always the smallest hidden simple fuses, as i had a breakdown whilst i was at Biffa waste and when the engineer came out to it the RAM had a 3 amp fuse for a 12 amp job and a piece of cardboard caught a piece of wire that tripped the fuse to the ram, that compacted the waste on the truck
Was in Asda carpark other night fetching beer, nachos and dip about 8pm. Young lad had locked scooter up to nothing by back wheel and forgot take it off so I tried pull it back out by hand another struggler of the spanners bought his out so exhaust, wheel came off to get lock off. I did my shop, we was there thirty minutes trying get back wheel back on until I stood back 🤔 unlocked the brake cable and wheel went straight on, it's the simple things that get you. Was pleased to see the Chinese are using copper crush washers for the exhaust manifold though. I'd of thought they would have used sparrows nest material 💪
Dave regardless of whatever is always chipper and positive....very much like yourself Chris although I could hear the frustration in your voice not finding the power fault .....the amount of wires in those boxes .... It's a *Chip Bap* in these parts although they used to do a scooped out little chewy loaf and filled them with chips which was a *Chip Cob*.. There is nothing worse than seeing the fuse when you've searched for it for hours and someone comes along and just says "it's in the box"...possibly the struggler needs an illuminated magnifying glass ? I can imagine the money that buried 5w fuse has made palfinger over the years! 😉😉. Those forklift bearing struggles were truly knackered weren't they although it must gets some use that.
Evening Gary, yeah mate that was annoying and as you said when you know where it is it’s right there in front of you 🤦♂️ sickening mate, them bearings are at the first stage so take all the weight, thanks Gary have a good week mate 👍
I have revived old cordless 18v cordless batteries when they wouldn't take a charge by putting 36v into them for about 10 seconds i got the 36v by joining 3 x 12v car batteries together in series, it seems to just add enough power into them to fool the smart charger to start charging them up.
Cracking video Chris found your channel thru watching DnJ on Sunday that fuse was hidden well no wonder you didn't spot that. On the plus side date night looked cosy lol
Don’t fret about hidden fuse we have all done it and felt a right prick after 😢 I once couldn’t get a large processing plant going and tried all night to no end, main switch on all lights lit circuit boards changed main processor changed but sill no go 😢 They had to fly an engineer from Germany 🇩🇪 to sort it, it took him 10 minutes to change the main switch that had a multi functional.😮
Talking about grinders Was at lidl battery impact and grinder with one battery and charger less than £100 I paid that for just a battery Have a great day
I love working all the older kit because its just Black & White pull a leaver and it works no sensors or electronics's to go wrong I think they put all that B,S on them so you will have to pay them to fix it and they can make more money.
regarding batteries try putting power into them, via another cordless battery as they need above 6v in them before the charger will reconise it and charge. plenty of TH-cams on subject. I knackered a brand new ferrox battery in a angle grinder when it tripped out and i forgot to switch it off, not knowing it would still keep drawing power out of battery till it was f**k*d completley
Chris! It was a fuse in the fuse box🤓 Date night with Dave, it couldn’t get any better🤣 That old gear oil pump, built to last(a bite like you) struggles but works🤣 Great video. SHALOM 🔥
@@Professional-struggler That’s why you hung the job out just to get some grub🤣 you know where the fuse was all the time(because your a professional). 😁
The older you get Chris you more you get “I’ve come across this before and I still can remember how to fix it “ I’m 65 , love your channel make me cry laughing , all the best from Spain 🇪🇸 woo woo
You shouldn't run the batteries below 10% because it damages them ie your phone will inform you when its at 15% ie needing to be charged get/AGM are exactly the same
Not sure if this will help with ya batteries Chris, but if ya using charger made for battery ,it might have circuit protection ,that'll prevent battery charge.... which it sees as a hazard. How ever you maybe able to get the charge level back up by using a bench power supply , set voltage at battery level. Written on battery , but set current very low , and see if power supply unit , which has a display starts to change. Do this under your supervision , as also keep check on battery casing for increase in heat !!! .... p..s. do this out doors ,just to evade fire risks !!
Chris that forklift has the wrong category forks on pal . Should be class A forks .they are class B .probably caused the top roller failure . Worked on forklifts fir 32 year mate .shout if your stuck
Chip butty and as for electrical faults i always used to say to customers i can spend 4 hours searching for it and once i found the fault it'll be a 2 second fix hence why i hated doing any electrical faults when i was on the spanners
I've just started six months of chemotherapy struggler, recently found your channel and I know nothing about lorries but it's been a massive help watching. All the best to you and your family.
Good luck with the chemotherapy 🤞
Good luck Adam. Been there got the tee shirt. We do win mucka 👍👍👍
Cheers mate! You best be an expert by now Adam 😂😂👍
I think Dave is about to stick on the pay roll you are nearly full time there 😂 love it
😂😆 poor Dave! He’s had a shocker mate
@@Professional-struggler
Just a wee tip replace the fuel cells in the batteries rather than buy new ones .. costs 1/4 of the price 😉😉👍👍🇬🇧🌈🇬🇧
@@Professional-struggler
For the hand crank grease barrel … take off the handle and attach a battery gun 😉😉

Yeah I’ve noticed that on modern lorry’s to missing the diagram on the other side of the cover mate! So the dealer gets the job
We see it in refrig and air con, the diagrams are in a folder, or on a cd or men stick in someone’s desk drawer. Really handy 😞

😂😆 cheers for reminding me mate 🤦♂️😂
Great video Chris. And don’t worry, we have all fallen at some point to a hidden fuse. Especially when it’s equipment your not familiar with 👍
Cheers Barry….. so annoying though mate 🤦♂️👍
Excellent content on how to make a job last all day and into dark hours feel like I just watched a master class.
Absolutely brilliant struggle.
Cheers Stuart 😊👍🤠
Wasn’t all bad. Chippy tea!
yes lad , waited for this HAPPY SUNDAY ......

Evening Andy! They put it there to make me look silly mate 🤦♂️! 😂😂😂Dave’s dog funny mate
now that was a struggle how many times has a fuse caught us out on jobs . but you got there in the end and a chip BARM for your tea 👍
They hid that one well 😆👍
You can jumpstart the grinder batteries with a good battery to get them to charge .
Don’t do it for more than a couple minutes at a time because the struggle gets real.
Thanks mate I’ll give it a go 👍
@@Professional-struggler plenty videos on TH-cam let me know how it goes

Well done for being persistent in finding that fuse buddy 👌
Great video Chris well done for getting Dave back to his yard 👍

Love seeing your videos cross over! Clever getting crane down
Cheers Jerry 👍
In West Yorkshire they are called oven bottom cakes or flat cakes, today ones are tea cakes, then theres current tea cakes.
Didn’t know there where so many different names for a chip cob mate… it’s interesting
for filling gearboxes I have an old fire extinguisher that I have welded an airline fitting into and also has a small pressure regulator set to 50psi, fill the extinguisher with oil and connect the air..easy..
That’s a cracking idea mate… it is a nightmare filling them up!
Great Struggle Chris !Love the Music Mate ,Dave at D&J Nice Bloke ,and Loves Struggle !👍👍😂😂
Thanks mate! Yeah Dave’s a really nice bloke mate, and down to earth 👍
Brilliant video I've one of those oil dispenser think it's older than me and I'm 60 no monkey metal anywhere on it. Keep up the good work 👍
Yeah back when stuff was built to last mate 👍
Great video Chris that fuse made me laugh what a bastard of a thing 😂😂the fuse struggle
I know mate 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The fuse struggle it's madness they shouldn't be hidden away great video Chris
Boggers hide them away to make me look silly mate 😂😆
My snap on gun battery is the same I put it on trickle charger for an hour then wack it back in the proper charger and it seems to charge
I’ll give them a go mate thank you 👍

Fuses are pain in the arse. When they hide the fucking things. Love it Chris cause you say it as it is like all of us fitters. Spot bro 🤣

Lovely chip rolls and another great video Chris 🚛🚚🚜👍👍👍⭐️⭐️👏👏👏

Can’t beat Sundays chilling out with me kids and your video popped up 👍👍

Don’t fret about hidden fuse we have all done it and felt a right prick after 😢

They had to fly an engineer from Germany 🇩🇪 to sort it, it took him 10 minutes to change the main switch that had a multi functional.😮
Well done I do coaches no fuse box diagrams no info and fuses hidden away
It’s like they purposely hide them mate 😆👍
Instead of cracking a pipe off you hand wind the relief valve in and lower any crane that way
The makita batteries have a memory if completely dead and won’t charge you can jumpstart them from another battery then it should charge 😂
Cheers Steve 👍
Talking about grinders
Was at lidl battery impact and grinder with one battery and charger less than £100
I paid that for just a battery
Have a great day
I was thinking of the Lidl battery stuff mate….. every time I go there im always tempted
chip barm..........steak and kidney pudding is a babbies yed in wigan ......great video by the way.
Camper is looking good 👍 nice coast line
Chip barms and cobs, the only time I hear that is when I'm on secondment at East Midlands Airport....it's a chip butty guys 😂😂
Awesome video again 👏 👌 👍
I love working all the older kit because its just Black & White pull a leaver and it works no sensors or electronics's to go wrong I think they put all that B,S on them so you will have to pay them to fix it and they can make more money.
It's a chip barm all day long. I bet daves glad he's got you on speed dial to share his supper with. Two grafters eating by the moonlight❤️

@@Professional-struggler That’s why you hung the job out just to get some grub🤣 you know where the fuse was all the time(because your a professional). 😁
In Glasgow we call them a roll and chips.
In Yorkshire it's a teacake Mr Struggler 👍
😆👌👍
We never stop learning do we Chris , usually don’t get the same fault again though 😂
Yeah by the time I come across it again I’d of forgot Mike 😆👍

Milwaukee grinders do the same thing also
Great stuff 👍
Living the dream 👍😎🤣 until the fuse went in your number plate 😲😆
😂😆 bloody fuses are to fault with everything
Afternoon Chris down in the Forest of Dean it’s a chip butty or chip sandwich have a good weekend
Thanks mark hope you had a good one to mate 👍
Up here in Scotland (Glasgow) we call that a Roll n Chips 😉😉
👌👍
Definitely a chip butty ...don't beat yourself up over a simple fuse you learn something new everyday
You do mate 👍 cheers Dom
well in Chris - Cheeky little fuse lol
🤦♂️🤣
There's a video on TH-cam shows you how to get your tool batteries back up and charging, I'll post the link if I can find it.

Thanks John 👍 I’ll give it a go mate 👍
If your in Loughborough mate it's a cob
I say chip roll chris but but because it was Leicestershire they say chip cob.
Definitely Cobs 👍
The whole world knows it’s a chip roll 👍
It would be a chip butty, down South, Chris you are very funny 😁 👍
Oh mate there’s a million names for it 😅 cheers Andy 👍
Chip butty in Sheffield and on its own it's a bread cake
It’s called a chip butty
i call it a chip barm
You shouldn't run the batteries below 10% because it damages them ie your phone will inform you when its at 15% ie needing to be charged get/AGM are exactly the same
That might be why that grinder is ruining them Barry! Them brushless ones don’t seem to get slower just stop! 👍

How ever you maybe able to get the charge level back up by using a bench power supply , set voltage at battery level. Written on battery , but set current very low , and see if power supply unit , which has a display starts to change. Do this under your supervision , as also keep check on battery casing for increase in heat !!! .... p..s. do this out doors ,just to evade fire risks !!
Then if this works ,you can put it back on charger , if you can open battery packs ,it might be best to clip straight ro battery terminals
Roll and chips 🙈😂👌🏻
