I ordered a left handed crescent wrench just to fuck with people. The only difference is the adjustment wheel works opposite a standard one.
I posted this just below, but I'll just share it here as well. I'm in the Toronto hall and the book is EXACTLY what the test will be, just with different numbers etc. I expect yours will be similar.
Here's the post: Mine was very similar to this. There's study guides out there to help, but it's all about speed.
This book has a ton of practice that will be similar to the test if you're looking for something. I haven't seen this exact book, but I've seen other barron's guides that would be handy. Take the practice tests and time yourself.
Jacket stripper, you will make the electricians look bad with this.
https://apps.ankiweb.net/ is what I used. Just making the flash cards is a great way to study.
The program decides the question interval based on how hard you think the question is. The database you make is portable, you can use your phone to study on breaks and lunch.
Passed first try. By only two points, but I did make it.
Flex kneepads pivot, have a hard plastic shell and durable foam in the inside for comfort. I use these 10-12 hours a day, knees feel great, straps don't irritate, full mobility. I mostly work on oil & gas plants(lots of grating, lots of scaffold).
About $38 cad right now but if you check the second link you'll see they get down to $25 a couple times a year. With heavy use on grating they will last about a year, I usually grab a couple at a time when they hit their low and that lasts me a couple years.
I've been told the test has changed since I did mine five years ago, but the one book you need is the Barrons Guide:
https://www.amazon.ca/Barrons-Mechanical-Aptitude-Spatial-Relations/dp/0764141082
You can get it from a local library, that's what I did. This book is EXACTLY like 90% of the test. The test is all about speed - the questions are easy, but you're under a strict time constraint. That's the biggest challenge. I can't stress how impactful using this book is.
That said, it was a while ago - things could have changed.
Back when I was fresh meat, my journeyman gave me a copy of IPT's power transmission systems handbook. That was a damn good handbook. The book provided me with answers anytime I was lost.
Audels is more of an all around reference book for on the job stuff. 1200 pages of everything you can think of for millwrights. amazon link
But it is available on Zlibrary along with many other Audel trade books.
I got this book 2nd year and hasn't left my side since https://www.amazon.ca/Black-Books-EBB3INCH-Engineers-Book/dp/0958057141/ref=asc_df_0958057141/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341612548455&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9811474306317503306&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&...

This has a conversations button and has everything I've ever wanted.
Distance, area, volume, mass, time, speed, frequency, fierce, torque, pressure, energy power, temp, angle, fuel consumption, data size.
This sounds like a relay logic and could be done with or without a PLC. You could have a stop button in series with a control relay connected to the start button and the contacts from this relay would get locked in starting motor M1 then you would need at least one other relay and a timer to switch back and forth between motors (sorry I have a bit of brain fog due to Covid at the moment, so not really painting the clearest picture).
I suspect it is the contacts getting locked in that you are tripping up on, it's not something you can see from a diagram, just something you have to know, it would be easier if you could show the diagram though.
This is a very good book for understanding relay logic.
Lang set of Amazon best bang for your buck.

> What brand do you prefer? I use a Milwaukee pen light everyday. There cheap too.
I’m currently using a LEDLenser MT10.
My son bought these and gave me one. https://www.amazon.ca/Lanlelin-Rechargeable-230%C2%B0Illumination-Waterproof-Lightweight/dp/B09T8W1W71/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=3J9URUGV7LCX3&keywords=headlamp&qid=1656778728&sprefix=headlam%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-9
It is my favorite headlamp I have ever owned. Light, bright, waterproof and usb c chargeable. One feature it has that I thought was gimmicky until I found its niche was the wave feature. You set the light the brightness you want it and then you can turn on the wave feature. From then on you can just wave your hand near it and it will turn on or off. Sometimes it triggers from a wall or another person nearby but I was installing grout and my gloves were covered in it but I could easily turn the light on or off without touching it. It's also nice that when you cycle to the brightness you want, after about 20 seconds the next button tap turns the light off so you don't have to cycle through the remaining brightness settings. If I had one complaint it would be that the light is too bright on the brightest setting. You can't use it with a partner nearby.
Coast XPH34R. It’s ridiculously bright if you need it to be and the rechargeable battery lasts forever. I use it mostly on the medium setting, on which it’s supposed to last 12 hours and I believe it. In a four day work week, I might charge it once.

Theres's a website/app called Indeed Job Search that I use on my phone. You can customize it to your area and specific job type. My setting is for Ontario Canada and there's approximately 45 new jobs posted every day.
I set up the link to be local for you, assuming he's looking in Houston.

Seems like you got alot of answers. But no one said a decent multi-tool. My absolute favorite multi-tool is the Leatherman Crunch. What it lacks in the little tools in its arsenal, it makes up with it being a VICE GRIP. So you essentially have a third hand on you all the time. I find myself reaching for it every day. Ive had it for 6 years and its never let me down. But just because its the perfect tool for me, doesnt mean its the perfect tool for you. Cheers!
This is what the millwrights use at the lumber mill I work at. They are working with mild steel and AR though, no stainless.

Those are damn near indestructible. I also keep two cheap shit beater sets without ball ends that I can throw a pipe on. For your bigger wrenches, just buy individuals. I prefer those above 3/8 to not have ball ends for being able to pipe and beat them. A lot of guys just have sockets for those sizes, which is also an option depending on how well you're set socket wrench wise. Anything above 3/8" should be 1/2" drive.
Ultimately tool guides like yours are nice, but you're going to end up customizing your kit to suit your application. Cheers.
I have Audel's Mechanical Trades Pocket Manual
It's pretty good, especially with incrediblywittyname's suggestion.
I have not taken this test but have gone through the UBC apprenticeship. I do know the UBC standards require a minimum requirement for reading comprehension, math, (and some other subjects) to keep a certain standard up. (I witnessed lots of apprentices that didn't pass the math test in more than one try). A close friend took the carpenter journeyman placement test. It was long, daunting, but do able.
I would assume the millwright test would cover basics more than pump internals and thermal growth values of different metals (metallurgy). Simple mechanics, heavy lifting, rigging, industrial tool use, etc.

Get this, it has way more info than i have applied or have gotten to use.
What UBC district are you getting into? Different areas have different things for millwrights to do. PNW - lots of paper mills. Texas - refineries. Powerplants - all over.
Good luck placing
