Bruce Amacker Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I see the diagnostic dice and the automotive 8-ball are on special this month at the RTTP! Why did I spend all that money on scan tools when the dice and 8-ball were all I needed? *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Rotunda Technician Tool Program... AFAIK, US techs can earn or win scrip that they can use in the RTTP store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yes, but the RTTP is actually a tool store a.k.a. on-line catalog. I have purchased a few items from there. But yes, if we earn cash or certificates we may pay with them. You guys in Canada cant access it? I guess not if you are asking. DUH!

DwayneGorniak Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 We can view the online cataloge up here at http://www.fordrotunda.com but we never see deals or offers for techs like you guys do down south. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Dwayne... if you click on "Rotunda Promotions" on the ProTech main page, you can see some of the stuff they are "pushing" this <wierd time period>. The on-line flier doesn't seem to get changed quite as often as we'd think.... and it usually features the stuff the shop should be buying, anyway.... And "blatant attempt to hijack the thread coming", we get into a whole 'nother ball game.... I'm willing to bet my "first half" (of the month) pay stub that everyone here is in a shop where "not me" works.... (I am well on my way to a disgustingly "fine" month).... and I am tired.... Anyway.... tools have been known to show up missing (I looked up and there it was..... GONE!!) all too regularly.... I am trying desparately to add rhyme or reason to our shop tools.... DP is not impressed when I buy tools that we already had and is of a mind to prove a point... (I can't blame him). Torque converter line up tools (the pointy things that thread on to the converter studs) have evaporated and I bought my own..... 72 loonies for two... I only ever use one at a time but nobody wants to pony up 36 bux to have one of their very own.... Why bother when Jims tool crib is open for business? I'm pretty much torn when it comes to tools.... If I borrow something once... well, that's life.... If I borrow it a second time. my eyes should be open..... a third time is a sure sign that I should have one of my own.... One of our diesel guys bought one of those fan clutch wrench sets that you use with your air chisel.... I borrowed it far too many times and decided that it was "time".... He was upset with me because I robbed him of one reason to justify his use of my tools.... BUT.... if using one of my tools makes another techs life easier, I have no problem as long as we don't abuse the tool.... and it comes back as soon as it is done and it comes back clean.... Back to the heart of the matter... there are several tools in the Rotunda catalogue that I nwouldn't mind having... but the prices suck and you will never, ever know if you will ever actually receive the tool.... Them shrimp dippin', cruise ship ridin', leather jacket wearin', miniature truck owners just don't know how good they got it.... At the same time, Canada accounts for less than 10% of Fords worldwide production.... little wonder we are treated like the redheaded stepchild.... "Suck it up, Princess....". /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/boink3.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Ummm, OK. Shops should be buying Roller brush car washes and bumper post sleeves Jim? Is the link that I posted similar to what you guys see down south? And forgive me, but what the hell are you guys talking about: diagnostic dice and an automotive 8-ball? Is that kinda like having a crystal ball on my tool box to give a rub whenever a customer phones me on his cell phone and puts it outside and asks me what the hell that noise is? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 You bet... you can never have too many bumper post sleeves is what I always say.... But your Saskahoovian roots have left you with a sheltered upbringing.... diagnostic dice are a gag thing along the lines of "executive decision makers".... One or more dice will have "answers" in place of the dots... ask your question and roll the dice.... voila (rather than the Americanized "walla".... ), your answer is before you. The 8 ball reference, Kieth will have to clarify... You can find little cubes or balls with an LED readout.... ask your question and shake the ball or cube and an answer will scroll across the display.... For me, the automotive 8-ball is something I'm stuck behind when I don't have guns pointed at my head..... Say, do you think I should put running boards on my new to me Mustang? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you will be ready Saskatchewan touring. You'll blend right in and no on will even know your a tourist. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif And I figured you guys were talking about something like my crystal ball.
