Special Tools For Jobs

The funny thing is… this is just for hot dog grease… ewwwwww.

I don’t know why I never get tired of listening to that overwrought and flamboyantly presented techno-babble.  Here’s another version I found awhile back:

 

Rockwell Retro Encabulator

 

My dingle-arm is worn out.  Does PartsTOWN stock that?

[techjoeb]

I’ll check stock… we just sold the last one!

Never tell your lady that.

ectofix, if you like the Encabulator videos, there’s a group of (crazy?) folks on reddit who only deal in flamboyantly presented technobabble. https://www.reddit.com/r/VXJunkies/ 

I can’t tell if real technicians would love or hate this. Maybe a bit of both. I’m curious to know your reaction.

That tool for compressing the lid spring on Henny Penny pressure fryers comes in pretty handy

I’ll share with y’all this special tool that you would never expect.

 

My boss had passed to us techs this rather dumb-looking ratcheting wrench put out by Crescent:

 

 

Sorry folks.  Whether Crescent still markets this wrench is not my concern.  I DID check their website and didn’t see it there.  But…I got mine.

 

I hope you can get one.  It’s a rarely used but very helpful tool.

I just had to find it. Could not resist. Searched for crescent jaw ratchet ^^

Crescent R2 Rapid Rench 8 in. Ratcheting Socket Wrench-FR28SMP – The Home Depot 

 

This thing looks like it could be useful for standard jobs requiring a ratchet, too. Could.

Don’ja just love working on fryers.  Especially the filter pumps.  Only thing worse is the roof ventilators for a Chinese restaurant. Seen some with 3 inches of grease on the roof.  Ya need a lot of plastic and cardboard..
