My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

    Thanks for showing us your drawers, lifting your top, and crawling around on the floor with us. LOL
  • You don’t have drawers you have pan tea’s, which is is my cup of tea!
  • @proberts34
    Well, THAT was a provocative opening, Bre. You're a hoot, sister. 🤣 Thanks for letting us take a peek in your drawers, and Alex's, and Ron's.
  • @rexroman5211
    Thanks for being so much fun…and not taking yourself too seriously…and being very informative!😊
  • Thanks for walking us through your tool set. Many people interested in getting started working on small engines are intimidated when they see all the tools many mechanics own. Starting with a set of basic tools can get one started repairing their own stuff and grow a clientele of satisfied customers.

    Nice visiting with you today. Lots of one of my favorite tools there. I'm a HF ITC member. I've been using the Bauer line a bit. Years now actually. Drills, drivers impacts, tire inflator and the newest was purchase a 5 AH battery and charger= get the lube gun free. It sure has been nice lubing deck spindles and such. Helps with the rhymatiz in my hands. Have a good one and my best to both you and Ron. Mark

    I actually have a channel myself, showing exactly that. How to fix different small engines, from lawnmowers and generators, to weed trimmers. Small now, but channels like yours were quite the inspiration to get started! Thanks for all the great tips and advice!
  • I am 66 and I started working on my Fathers lawn mower and small engine shop at 7 years old so I have been doing for a few years
  • @Enlitenup
    Awesome! Would love to see a video of you restoring that old craftsman toolbox 😍
  • I keep red fingernail polish in my chemicals & Loctite drawer to mark the first chainsaw tooth I sharpen, when comes back around, turn saw around, sharpen other side.

    I bought a battery operated Plastic Welder on Amazon. It uses my Dewalt 20 V battery. Used it to repair a Dolly with plastic connectors holding the wheels. Awesome! Love your videos.

    Remember the two stroke fuel metering diaphragm video? Was able to help my neighbor with his engine since it had been sitting for a while. After getting fuel to it with some patience, it started running like a champ. Thanks!!!
  • @blairoutproject
    A peek inside your drawers…. You are the gift that keeps on giving. You have my absolute attention 😁
  • Great video and recommendations! One very common tool that I use a lot that you didn't mention is the camera on my phone. I take pictures so I know how linkages and springs were before I started ripping and tearing.

    To avoid going to the wrong end of the drawer, either put an arrow or piece of tape at the end of the drawer. The time saved is negligeable, but the frustration savings is worth it.
  • I have a place for everything in my boxes in it’s place, I hate looking for tools and digging thru a pile of them, once I’m thru for the day it all goes back in it places 😊

    I've never had a problem emptying out my magnetic trays. I used them my entire mechanic career, and for 20 years beyond.
