[TechAssist] Re: Projo repairs on the floor. alternatives?

Yeah, I am a one-man operation out in the field....

Used to use an appliance cart on the big PTVs, blankets etc and only had one
PTV that I can remember that gouged the customer's drywall coming up from
the basement.

But with the "stylish" new PTVs......the ones that have wings, that's not an
option. Thank the lord they weigh less tho'.   I've become a chassis puller
for the most part, but that's a real pain for the bench tech to work with.
Although I do admit I pulled a board to test it, and when repaired,
installed it.....then realized I should have pulled the entire chassis so
the boss could power it up. Thats because the PTV had failed on power
up.....some days I think I left my brain at home.....
