/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1635013
nice thing about mechanics that some other trades may not have usually is having a shop. all your tools etc are right there. maybe a fridge to keep your lunch cold, or good cheap food a 5 min drive away.

im an electricians apprentice/ex mechanic. glad i switched but working in the field has its drawbacks. having to know what you need to finish a job before it begins because leaving for supplies or a tool that you don't have with you in the van is time and money.

nice thing about electricians though is with a van full of tools you can run a business. mechanics will need tools but also a shop with a lift and all the bills associated with that.

>>but at least you can work indoors most of the time, often with heat in the winter.
