Yup, bought one 3 years ago & have gotten 2 more since. Damn handy. There's an Icon mini ratchet box set w/extension & 32bits from Harbor freight that pairs really well with this. The icon driver is nice and all, with a swivel, but much thicker w/a round handle that makes it a bit unwieldy in tight spaces. So I often use the Klein driver instead.

I’m sold

Oh fuuuuuck, now that i see the loop used like that im sold.

The torque spec is one finger tight 😂

Klein has been on point with the new stuff lately

I’ve seen these at the distributor I go to, I still have $400 on my Christmas tool bonus, might have to grab me one of these

You can push the bit in to get more clearance!

Yes dude! Commercial hvac tech here. I use mine all the time. Got me out of quite a few jams

Nice! I even use it with the longer malco adapter. Perfect length for an oil burner motor.

The smaller tools have been my favorite in commercial!

Love mine. Get you in places that you thought were impossible

That thing is a dawg. I take panel doors off with it 😂

Yep, love mine for those tight spots

Ooo. Love that design.

Question! Why is mine not doing any heating

Thanks! I like how you touched on different thickness sheaves. The adjustable ones are so common nowadays so it makes it more difficult to align and they rarely ever get swapped out. I swear bearings and belts are one of the least understood things in HVAC next to airflow lol.

If only I had this information 8 hours ago😂

The balance holes in the bottom pully are part of the problem.

I carry a roll of floss in my tool bag to use as a straight edge. Always have the right length as needed

Great job 👏🏻 I had to do something similar to this recently.. only been doing this 5 years and I don’t have a whole lot of experience doings pumps like this. It was a b**tch! You made it look easy. Ran into similar issues like the pipe weighing down on the bearing assembly causing it to kind of cock eye upward… aligning the coupling took some time to. Hopefully my next one will go smoother haha good job again man.

I replaced a set of bearings on an Addison OAU. I was unable to order parts direct from manufacturer (backordered), so I took some measurements and found what looked to be a suitable replacement online. When they arrived, I noticed they said 'Dodge' on them. I thought that was a little odd but I was confident in my measurements so proceeded. That pulley did NOT want to come off. It took a copious amount of sanding, lubricating, and strategic application of force before it made that 'ting' sound and slid off. When I finally got the old bearings off, I saw they, too, had Dodge stamped in them. I've seen those same Dodge bearings on other equipment since (the new Trane Odyssey Symbio systems, for one). I've been doing more commercial and light industrial lately, no help, no training, just learn as I go. Not so bad, if there's a puzzle I just let the office know this might take awhile. Most of the time, I can figure it out. On a few occasions I just sit in my van for an hour or so reading the manual. Sometimes, nothing makes any sense and then the light bulb comes on and all the puzzle pieces fit. I learn more on those jobs than the ones that go smoothly.

The "gen I" torque titans had ALOT of issues with rolling off the sheaves/pulleys even when put on the 'correct' way and to spec. Gen II came out pretty quick to avoid that I believe.

I forgot calipers could measure depth

Nice! In all seriousness (35+ years in the trade), what’s the 'right way'? If the way we always do it is 'wrong' there should be nothing but call backs on belt failure. I’ve never replace a properly aligned/tensioned belt twice, that I put on 'wrong'.

The question is : who in the history of belt driven equipment has ever put on / taken off belts the " right " way ? Appart that one time in trade school in front of the class ...

I roll belts myself, I know it isn't the right thing to do.

I can’t tell you how many problems I’ve had with VFDs after doing a soft shutdown (manually ramping down the drive by pushing the off button on the drive controller), but I’ve had no problems doing hard shut offs before the VFD at the disconnect, then Turning the disconnect back on, has your experience been similar? Or am I off my rocker 👀

5:10 are you scoring the shaft to make a mark, or actually writing on it??

Never seen this. Awesome tip!

Ku-Way-better

Honesuki is for butchering poultry

Brilliant trick !

The location and serviceability of most equipment is horrible. Having a platform will make a huge difference. Merry Christmas 🤘

Does it have to be made in Taiwan? 😋

You making a full video on this? Looks like a good one

Its hard to outsmart stupid people. My dad used to point to his head and say kidneys when he was talking about dummies LOL Old man was spot on.

How about using a capt'n hook tip for a RV?

Somehow I missed this video . I absolutely suck at making flares , probably cause I haven't had to make any for years now but still I need to work on getting good at it . Again the flaring tools we get here most of 'em aren't anywhere near the one you've got , it's just the basic regular ones that either don't grip the pipe well enough and slip , or grip too hard and you end up damaging the pipe ...

Bloody good repair mate 👍 The trick for sanding the inside surface with the drill is awesome, never thought of that !

So I got a new reversing valve from trane supply for a 3 ton system, it was normally in cooling position is this normal ? I could see the light through holes from line going to condenser to discharge which means it was in cool mode, do you have to manually elenergize or work this valve to put it in normal position ?

So…. First of all THANK YOU! Yes I was pulling my hair out… Second, I am SOOOOOO sorry to tell you that after hours of troubleshooting and trying to figure out the PIN from a total lockout… I’ve realized that the actual date code is…. The first part of the damn serial number on the back!!!! 😡

This guys a real pro and is to be commended for sharing

I can’t find the shorter filet knife on the website. What model is this do you know?

Isn't that just a bent 'paperclip'?

When I first started helping with repairs & overhauls I was taught to throw a pressure relief on our 600 lb tanks once I switched to pulling vapor. Never thought much more about letting it vent inside the mechanical room. Sure I knew inhaling refrigerant is bad, but it wasn’t until a few years down the road I started working under a new guy I was told about how bad 123 was to breathe. He showed me all the stuff trane wrote up about it, how you’re supposed to wear masks and stuff, etc. He even told me that the local carrier shop was paying guys hazard pay to work around it….honestly frustrated me how none of the people I used to work with even mentioned it to me, let alone had me staging every machine by myself until it was time for them to come in and have me help.

Is it 1/4 in bits work in it?

alot of hard leaned concepts explained well here.

I have a hi delta I am stuck on. Has call for heat Blower kicks on Blower indicator lights do not active** However the HSI will prove Gas valve one receives 24v for maybe 1-2sec then ignition process recycles until unit goes into soft lockout I went though it and the ladder trouble shooting guide says replace fan but before I buy one I want to really make sure that’s the issue. Any recommendations on other components to check?

What's your opinion three years later?

Incredible. I went to the hardware store asking for a tool to do it. But it didnt exist
