What happens here

Eugene inquires about tools necessary for general equipment maintenance, specifically mentioning fuel tanks and pumps. Stan elaborates on grease guns, recommending a cordless, pistol-grip grease gun with a short flexible hose attachment (around 12 inches). He emphasizes choosing cheaper models to reduce loss exposure, citing personal experience where expensive grease guns were frequently lost or run over on job sites. The flexible hose is crucial for reaching grease fittings on heavy equipment like skid steers, which are often located in hard-to-reach places.

Goal: Select appropriate and cost-effective tools for routine equipment maintenance.

all you take my second question would be what tools I would need to maintain my equipment for all changes I know you iterated on that about you know what is needed so I think that would be you know because I know I have the fuel in green so I have a fuel tank with the pump so but boys dream I guess or a cordless grease gonna probably be the quickest way to maintain you know everything I had some guys like the power grease guns again what I do is I always go with the cheapest tools possible because if you if you put your powered grease gun you're $150 powered grease gun on the track you set it down on the track and you go start up the piece of equipment and you hear something weird going on in the engine and then you crawl up in the engine and you find out that maybe you left the oil the oil plug or your the oil cap off or something right then you're like ok that was a simple fix thank goodness my engines not fried and you go in there like oh I want to warm things up and now you forgot you left the grease gun out of the track and you run it over I can't tell you how many grease guns we've I met guys run over or they they leave the tailgate off or they set it on the bumper and it's it's down the road and I'd rather lose an $11 grease gun than $150 grease gun so I always go with just the simple one I prefer the pistol grip grease gun with a flex hose attachment okay because I especially on the heavier equipment and skid lawyers a lot of those Riis fittings they're not right where you can get at them so if you have a straight line pipe you're gonna have a heck of a time getting in there so just the nice flex hose just a short one a 12 inch or if you get a 20 inch or longer flex hose what happens is that sometimes can kink on yeah I've never actually had a kink in half but sometimes they just I like the shorter flex hose attachments as I guess what I'm trying to say okay okay and the next question would be estimating demo which would be my bread and butter so the ways of just pretty
