Super Repair Man

If you were forced to wear a fanny pack, and the only purpose it served was to help you fix things what tools would you shove into it?

I know, that's an incredibly non-crazy question that only a normal person would ask.

These are what I would put in there:

Phillips Screwdriver
Flat Head Screwdriver
Knife
Tape Measure
Electrical tape


I would say duct tape, but honestly a roll of duct tape won't fit into a fanny pack.

As an engineer, I like to mess around with things.  Some things are a challenge some are not.  For this challenge I decided a new CD player was what my girlfriends car needed, you know for safety reasons.

These were the tools I chose, and the job was wiring up a CD player for a 2005 Nissan Xterra.  The kit actually called for all the wires to be soldered together, but that takes too much time patience and a heat gun with shrink wrap.  This is more cost effective and in my opinion more reliable.  The butt splices clamp the wires in place and rarely have a wire come loose.












So after reading the most confusing wiring diagram I have ever seen, I used all my years of schooling and knowledge and came up with this:

It may not look pretty but it is, in its own special way..like when your mom tells you you're special but you really just work at Petco.


The part you see in plastic at the bottom is the Bluetooth adapter.  That's the whole reason I bought this deck.  My girlfriend has a problem with driving and talking, so I figured I'd solve it for her. It also allowed her to stream her music so that was my selling point over-"you might die."
