That tool is a tack puller. You're right ,it comes in handy to pry and lift connectors.

Thank for clearing that up! Now I can quit calling it a "crows foot"! Haha 😂

You revealed one of my secrets. When even the 90° tool doesn't work I use the micro wrench. I usually use a larger (like double sided) bit instead of the short ones to make it easier. If its difficult I use my other hand to apply pressure. Also another secret, I keep the 90° angle drive adapter at home and use the dealt pivoting bit adapter. It locks onto 180° (keeping it straight) and when pushed out it moorings to freely rotate up to 20° I think. Its only slightly larger than a traditional bit holder saving a bit of space and bulk, and work 95% of what the right angle adapter does. It does start to jamb over time so I keep a small hammer or pliers I tap with to get it loose. Still worth every penny. *edit* I had paused the video to comment but after resuming I noticed one in the bits box. I guess it's good to carry both but when carrying it around with other essentials as I do, it makes a difference to cut down on bulk and weight.

Yeah I love that little tool! And you are right about cutting down on bulk and weight, my toolbag is pretty darn heavy!

That NC voltage meter can save your life. Had a fellow appliance tech go to check a washer and dryer and the dryer was shorted and had voltage going through the entire dryer. He didn’t know that, he went to look behind the appliances, put one hand on the dryer and one on washer and made himself a path of least resistance. He died at the customers house unfortunately. So before I touch an appliance, I use that volt sniffer to see if an appliance is shorted by any chance.

Man, sorry to hear that! Yes it is an awesome tool

Steady is the key to success and patience just like anything business. Good days and Bad

Your FIELDPIECE SC260 multimeter (personal favorite) has the NCV feature that function exactly like your KLEIN non contact voltage stick.

Yeah it does. I guess I never use that function because of the size of the meter. Alot of times, I use my little non contact to reach behind dishwashers to see if the recirculation pump motor getting power! But yes they are all so handy

So much better when slowing down on speaking. Watching an earlier video where many words are repeated made it very hard. Like “I say, I say…”. You can tell you slowed down a lot. Much much much better. Keep up the progression and you’ll be crushing it!

Great video can’t wait to see the special tools in the van I have my feet wet I guess you sort of say in the appliance repair being a local handyman but there are no more appliances repair people around me so was thinking of doing some schooling to get involved more in the trade

Very informative

Man from looking at your video I thought you stole my tool bag...LOL. We have the same bag with the same tools but with different brands of course. I have the same fieldpiece meter love that bad boy. I need to get that Y pry tool that you have that will help a lot in the field. Great video!

@@theapplianceprofit Looking forward to it. Speaking of vans, do you think a dodge caravan would suffice starting out if I took the back seats out? It is all white so I figured it would look pretty good with magnets on it. $4,000 grand is my budget. Would that be an acceptable start in terms of professional image?

Hey boss just bought all the tools in this video, also tools to do sealed systems, I really wanted to specialize in refrigerators , I got a trailer, so I can go and pick them up and even store a few, my question to you is, do you think doing sealed systems on drives is a good idea? Like fixing them and then flipping them, once I get more familiar with appliances I want to start a repair service

Exactly! R600 is becoming more and more common.

i just had 2 refrigerators fail in 2 weeks, got the boards out to do basic component checking and i cant read anything on any of the boards, it looks like they put some layer of liquid or some wax film over everything so my meter prongs wont touch the component legs to read anything,. What do you do in that situation when there is a coating over all the compenents and the back side where the solder joints are ?

@theapplianceprofit

3 ай бұрын

Yeah you are right, they do sometimes put a gel coat on them. You would need to make your tests at the connectors. Back probe wiring or disconnect the connector.

@@theapplianceprofit well to check components i need to get to the component legs but i cant because they have that thick gel coat over everything. If i don't have voltages at the harness outputs, something is wrong within the components that i need to check but i cant ... Not without using some kind of knife or something to scrape that coating off but thats a lot of work to trouble shoot down to the component level when you got that gook all over it ...

Oh I see, you are wanting to test board level components. Yeah, most appliance repair companies don't perform board level repairs, we just replace the entire board when we determine the board is at fault.

@@theapplianceprofit Well i had to trouble shoot 2 of them 3 weeks ago and one board was clearly bad, as i opened the panel i could smell burnt components, 5 poped caps, 2 burnt resistors and one burnt voltage rectifier. That was an obvious board failure. The other was appeared to be fine, no obvious bad components, but when you power it up, you could hear a relay clicking on and off and an led light blinking to the relay click on and off, the inside fridge light was also blinking to the relay, so was the thermostat control panel ... After un-plugging 3 times to try and reset, nothing, still kept doing the same thing so i un-plugged all the harness' and powered back up and same clicking issue so i said its done, needs a new board.

That a heavy tool bag
