WillyBob Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 we used a bowling pin as a hammer too often. They good persuaders @3.5lb. Don't drive nail for chit... but so many other places that could use help. We like dealing with machines that way, compared to humans. The hammer is an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Metric / SAE / standard ? There a difference between the last two, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 standard is a relative term. I-19 has the distinction of being one of [the one?] interstate signed in Metric. Quite confusing when your get on the on ramp and see "This highway signed in metric" and then see a Speed Limit 65 with no designation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite confusing when your get on the on ramp and see "This highway signed in metric" and then see a Speed Limit 65 with no designation. That'd be "about" 100. Although ignorance of the law is no excuse, 100mph at 2200 rpm seems quite acceptable depending upon traffic volumes. Safe & stable while getting where you need to go. Oops, 65mph is roughly 100Kph. Sorry officer, my internal calculator must be a bit off today. And, Do you routinely defend your traffic infraction citiations in court? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don't see any Whitworth wrenches or JIS screwdrivers, or Posidrive in that setup... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Anyone use milk of magnesia on threads? Dip the bolt threads in it before installation on things that run hot like exhaust manifolds, headers, turbo-jet hot sections. Muy bueno 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution turns to powder, prevents corrosion and acts as lubricant when taken apart. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tear down the breather tubes in my woodstove every few weeks to clean the chimney. I was looking around for some NeverSeize. in one of our sheds. Found a can from blasting caps... That won't help unrelated but I found an old Folger's can. My folks drank the stuff and I don't remember this can. It has a ship on it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite tool, cordless drill which of course I use as a screwdriver more than anything. And the base of the battery doubles as a hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
