So like this? Somewhere I have a snap on ratchet that’s half of one of these… used to have a handle on it from the way it looks… it’s a small ish one… I wonder….

Anybody?? I’ve got 3 of them, the drive side is 7/16 or the closest metric equivalent … and the working ends are 5/16 ( small one ), and the other two are 3/8…. Notice 1 is about 3/16 longer than other. The shorter one has thicker walls. Numbers on side are as follows; (2) 3/8- N7127-6T ...

Wow, thank you for sharing , that is beyond interesting. I had never heard of the 'living quarters but I do know that some of pges stations had basic smmenitues cots, showers etc for the guys that did the manning but as far as I know they all went home at EOS , or probably more likely, stayed...

Put some hash marks on it🤦‍♂️

*looks around* , *scratches head*…. Do….. ……. 🤨how long you been sitting on that?

I have recently invented a new method I think. I use an induction burner and a large plastic anything, I use a bunch of thick 1” x2”x5. Chunks of steel inside on the bottom, fill with detergent and water and fire it up to desired temp. Induction burner does its thing, which heats the metal in...

Yeah could be, I know that a filleted corner is far superior in strength to a sharp one, well I don’t KNOW that. It’s what I was taught. How much do we really know firsthand? 1% of our information? Less? … I diverge…. ADH….. huh?
