I can see Channel Locks being turned in a Mechs hands but can't see what they are turning. Perhaps you have better vision!

And you have always used a strap wrench with a torque wrench to tighten all your cannon plugs?

I always used the water pump pliers until the very end then would use the strap/torque wrench combo while connecting EEC plugs.

No I use a Cannon plug pliers to tighten them newb....Now go out to the Southwest Aircraft and check the napkin logbook for a discrepancy.

When was the last time SWA had a crash due to mechanical failure? Still thinking................. Why dont you run out and make sure all your panel screws are all properly torqued with proper tooling. My gosh, some people think they are perfect. Im sure they have used the proper tool for everything!!!!

Very cool. Thanks Jäger!

very cool and highlights the impact that working on engines has on the smooth operation of an airline.

And not all engine changes are done in settings quite as "civil" as a well-equipped hangar, even with the lightning (very nice touch) in the background.
