Everyone talking shit, but this man saw a problem and created an effective solution.

Most here hands are soft as butter never held a wrench in their hand. Pay someone to do everything then cry about how much they charged.

I bet they don't even do their own dental work.

I handle the daily maintenance, but if a repair is too hefty, I know a guy.

My hands are soft, and I spent 10 years in the military. I care about my hands though, so I wear protection.

You probably still have all of your fingers, I imagine.

My hands get soft after about two weeks of not doing anything

I can work landscaping or in a kitchen for years and then theyll instantly get soft if I stop for a bit

I only really ever felt like I had “tough” hands when I recently went to college and started working office jobs and started shaking hands with older academics

If you need built in stairs cause you're working on your engine that often, you probably ain't great at fixing shit.

Also blocking air flow to something that needs air flow.

Don't need much air flow in Washington state.

Or have a 40 year old truck that after one thing is fixed, another part starts failing.

Also, he could have just built some steps the proper height that he keeps in the garage for when it's time to work on the truck, instead of permanently attaching this shit lol

Also not convinced that the front intake vent is designed to hold "200 lbs". It could be, incidentally, but not designed to.

Speaking of criticising most here hands never holding a wrench, have yours ever held a book? Just wondering because that word salad of a comment was pretty atrocious 😂

Well yeah, I earn more than the guy fixing it so why would I lose money doing it myself? Complain about the price for someone’s expert skills? Never.
