    Today's funny

    I wonder if your 'pusher plate' is not allowing the last brad to sit squarely against the nose piece? BTW, good choice with the Senco; I have several nailers and a couple staplers that are going on 30 years old and STILL have parts available to rebuild. Only downside is the cheap knockoffs that...

    95% of Everything

    That oil pipeline our leader approved is taking oil cross country to be refined for the Asian market. Former leader wouldn't allow it as he knew it was for cheaper shipping.

    Fuel storage tank float replacement

    Unless he can get the sealer into the slot, it won't last long. Brass float is WAY better.

    Battery corrosion

    Not acid, fellas. It's in the name of some of them --Alkaline. Vinegar melts the corrosion but then that does need neutralized. Water works fine--no foamy reaction.

    Q-Tip and vinegar. Followed with a Q-Tip and water to neutralize the vinegar.

    Is nnalert still around?

    They're still around. In Indianola, Iowa. Daughter lives near there and I've bought parts for my 8-N. The in store prices are lower than the cata!og. They're in with Herschel Manufacturing and have a LOT of parts much more than TSC.

    Go-jo

    That go-jo was OLD. Had the same thing happen to mine after a couple years on the dispenser. It started running out of the dispenser and needed a drip catcher under it. Wall mounted and it was a big mess to take the whole thing down as the container is in the way of the mounting screws.

    Overhead Doors

    I was going to say 'Raise the door First", but you beat me to it. Real easy to wind the spring-one turn was enough. Raising the door was the hard part' a come-a-long would have made it easy.

    Bad Boy Mowers

    Larry, I bought an 'Outlaw' two years ago. I'm nearing 70 and have never had a new mower and after being diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate Cancer I figured 'why not'? That mower has far exceeded my dreams; it's WAY better on hills than my old John Deere rider model 185 was and I don't have to fix...

    Briggs Stratton oil

    I read all the answers so far and no one mentioned that 'flat tappet cams and followers' are still used on small engines. These engines NEED Zinc. Zinc is no longer put in regular motor oils as it can destroy the Catalytic Convertor. Small engines, up to and including the Harley Davidson...

    I'm about insane!

    OMG, Mr. Harvey. I too have that ringing. It's the same sound that seven 20" DeWalt radial arms saws make when they're ALL running at the same time. From 1966 to 1973 I operated a 'gang' apparatus, one of only two in the United States that cut hip and valley jack rafters. I never thought about...

    Transmission Oil Flush ?TEA 20

    Pretty much what I did. I used Paint Thinner and I caught the runoff and strained it thru a paint filter back into the sprayer three times, saving the last 'runoff' for anther day. As you said 'worked great'.

    ceiling fan

    How right you are! When I got married over 40 years ago, the Hunter fans were way beyond our budget. I bought two D.E.M.C. fans from a store called "Handy Dan". About ten years ago, one of the fans started making a 'dry' sound. I disassembled it and found two bearings that had gone dry. As I...

    John T. and all of the electric knowledgeable folks

    In Des Moines (Iowa) we had a 'powerhouse' with DC generators along US HWY 69 for the Interurban railway. Iowa, with their 'tax everything' attitude caused the Railroad (Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern) to demolish the building along with the huge generator. (Improved Property, don't cha...
