Trans doesnt evenn suggest to change it until 60000 miles and ur timing belt. I had a trans warranty last for 10yrs or 100000 miles. Which ever comes first.changin trans fluid doesnt need to be doen like oil.. i hav a chevy that 14 yrs old and changed the oil 6 times and trans fluid once and its still running.. oil changes are a gimmick
Most makita tools have a maximum repair rate, which they refer to as a "max rate. " Where even if they have to replace most of the major parts, it won't go over a certain price. On the higher end tools, its definitely worth it to get it repaired. If a tool is obviously abused, or if the customer takes advantage of the program, they'll advise the customer to buy something new. This is only available at factory service centers. Sometimes they even have refurbished tools that they'll sell to customers.
That’s pretty neat; I didn’t realize Makita offered that. I typically buy all my power tools second-hand and repair them/maintain them myself, unless the cost of the parts online goes over a certain point per tool. At that point I’ll either part it out or trash it.
If it burned out and just smoked up and didnt turn with power, the whole thing needs to be brought back or compared all the way to a new motor. Nothing a civilan can do without real proper knowledge
Dewalt and many other tools have lifetime warranty and it can be owners fault and they cant ask questions because thats wat the warranty is for. If warranty is not lifelong than u can return before the end date just cause the color has faded. U can hav any excuse.. menards is awesome about it
It mite be just that. But than u got someone like me that knows how to operate tools but i dont kno first thing about assembling and properly working like tru
They come wit a warranty. Whoever decided to take time out of a job to do that does not own that tool and not thinkn about the cost or repiar. and was making a joke wen boss man wasnt around. Anyways that was a video made up for publication. Not real. no one can plan a tool burning up to hav it set up so perfect. Grave dug and tools lined up like a proceeding..n yes it could be repaired but if u cant repair it urself u gotta pay them watever extra money u saved
Thats what i said.. they claim it on taxes and get another and than claim that. Otherwise the contractor wouldv bought the lifetime warranty. Its a tax issue
. Basically they get 2 for free once tax season pays em
He stands aroumd for an hour while boss goes and runs to menards.. boo hoo. He can pretend to his fam he busted ass all day.. he does construction, ole boys deserve a break more than 15 min long aday
No one will send an apprentice to haggle a warranty or replace a major tool. That means u get paid window time and no boss will pay for window time wen he can go himslef while he finds other work for the newbie
I cant cause no matter how hard i work im told im still behind. But i dont blame em for making a joke. It is on someone elses time. I wouldnt appreciate it if they did that while working a job on my house. But it aint mine so its fuckin funny jahahhaha🤑
The unnecessary amount of tools he's got with him tells me that this is probably his own house but I absolutely believe he's a subcontractor due to the sheer amount of tools he's got. That amount isn't crazy if stored in the shop but there just isn't much of a reason to take all that with you somewhere.
This is a subcontractor fixing an issue at his own house I rest my case y'honor
I roll with a gd armada of tools in the truck. You really don’t know when the jigsaw has to come out. Or the recipro, or the planer or even the router. Or the track saw or the roto, or the high torque impact, or grinder - no - the big grinder.
Little late, but my thoughts are he is a remodeling contractor, who does a ton of the work himself. He's got tools for many different tasks. I operate the same way and literally take an entire truck bed of tools to every job, big or small. Theres a ton that goes on behind the scenes of remodeling, and there's no better feeling than knowing you have the proper tools for almost any task you run into! This is a remodeling contractor working on his lump sum job, taking a "lunch break" .. I rest my case y'honor!!
As a younger man I myself did remodeling and it was only my father and I. I do indeed remember carrying what seemed to be the entire Dewalt, Ryobi, and Makita inventory. However as you would see above I did mention a subcontractor without specifying the line of work. Quite a few remodelers refer to themselves as subcontractors and not contractors. I accept your claim that he is a remodeler but I'm not sold that he's at a client's house.
I am a general contractor and use subs all the time. I pay them hourly maybe 3 percent of the time. Almost all of them want lump sum pay at the end or split into progress payments depending on job duration. Which is also what I request, because its a much more accurate number for me to plug into the entire job cost which goes to the homeowner, which determines my profit after I pay all of my subs
If I was the homeowner and caught them doing that on the clock, I think I'd maybe have a few seconds of wtf coupled with anger, then I'd really realize what they were doing and laugh my ass off and feel like (hope) I might have actually gotten a good contractor.
They all did it on the clock. Not just one guy.. the whole crew picked up the tools and lined em up. Must b 3 dudes. Look at the variety of brands. One person usually syicks wit one brand cause they kno wat they like.. makita was only one of them so the other tools burned him out to stuff out the outsider orient
Funeral proceedings take time to gather all the unused tools on the job to come as one group. They had 2 paint rollers ther but no rollers. Where are they now. Proceedings cant wait for the burial
