'A' tenth is 1/10 or .1. Further specifying a tenth of what would help.

Right or wrong, everyone's got 'em. lol I've had my favorite pair for over 20 years. They were being used as an interior door handle on an old pickup my buddy was scrapping, I rescued them in the nick of time.

BIC lighter since it's always in my pocket. Biggest guy I ever knew didn't need bottle openers. Probably a few tools he didn't need.

$2000 and it's STILL ROUND.

FWIW, I'm currently pretty pleased with the Dewalt 20v. I've been working on a project for an hour or two per night drilling a lot of holes in MDF and I have yet to change or charge a battery in 3 weeks. It does have one flaw though; abruptly coming to a stop on the higher speed happens so quick...

WOW that guy should have been given a grant for all that :lol: thanks for posting.

Thanks for the replies, folks. The electrolysis bath was considered but I've got too much going on right now to get to it (designing a new rod building station, working on several leather-stacked handles, and prep for hunting season). In to the vinegar for a few days and then maybe a trip to...

Been cleaning up some of my tools this week, so while digging around in the old man's barn today I asked Pops if he had anything old and cool that could use a cleaning. My dad the joker hands me this prize. :lol: Worth trying to clean it up or should I stick it back on the nail it came from? It...
