What do you want to be when you grow up? How about a car fixer?
Learn the fun discoveries, the inside poop, and the secret tools.

A lot of crazy stuff going on in these pictures.

I can't tell what #1 is

Is #1 melted disk material on the pads? I didn't expect that to be possible or look like that.

Edit: Wait. there is no pad. Is all that goo what is left of the pad?.

It's the melted metal backing plate for the long gone pad.
I got a kick out of the secret tools. On the left is a large socket on a right-angle die grinder which spins at a minimum 12,000 rpm and could be 20,000 rpm.

That IS a die grinder, isn't it? I was thinking the joke was how he used a combination of sockets to make the large one fit, but that was just one part of it.

That is a 1/4" drive air rachet. With 3 drive adapters and a socket that is way to big for it.

Looks exactly like one of my die grinders to me.

How would you attach a socket adapter to a die grinder?

With a short extension in the collet.

I guess you could, but why?

Exactly! Same for the torque hammer.

To tighten the headlight fluid.

What are you, new?

LOL

Everything that goes wrong with my buddy's truck is because the Throckmorton seized up.

Must be an old truck. He could swap it out for a fitzer valve, a 220, a 221. It's all ball bearings these days.

Fix 'em up...
