And are "Whips" in another bin?

Wow. I would have never thought that tape would hold up in hot gear lube. That's an awesome idea. I used an awl to put a big scratch down the length of my axle shafts, but you really gotta clean them up to see it. So far, the shafts are as straight as the day I put them in. I was just curious if they actually would twist or just break. Ford 8.8" w/ 35" rubber and a heavy right foot. . .not gonna break.

Hey Rolling_Thunder!

I was set to give to a hard time about the labels......................Then I saw this post.

I'm very glad you are recovering and will be able to go back to work. As many that have a stroke never make it back to any kind of a normal life.


Good Luck

Here is a better view of the new labels.



And the cabinet in the context of the shop. Since I keep my tools and supplies in cabinets, I really need those labels.

Nope. I think I paid about a buck and a half each.

Still, they've held up well.

Yep. I made a swing set for the kids, and the leftover chain ended up in a bin. I've since used the chain with a come-along to get my car up the driveway after a bad day at the track.
