I’m a techie. I love new gadgets, and I appreciate the times we live in. From smart phones to smart TV’s, it’s hard to keep up with everything, but it’s never been so easy to entertain yourself and stay connected.

I strongly believe it was a good move because of the convenience of not having to rely on an air compressor and air lines required for a typical air operated impact. The torque it delivers is more than adequate which you can… Continue reading Milwaukee Impact Review
Modules have been part of the mechanical world for many years. The technology has advanced in leaps and bounds with more monitoring and control of multiple circuits reducing wiring, switches and connections. Most school bus modules are sealed from the environment however if moisture and oxygen are allowed to enter it’s inevitable a failure will… Continue reading School Bus Module Corrosion
