Nothing to add except this tongue-in-cheek piece I wrote concerning gloves and C5 Corvette owners. "What's the best brand of disposable gloves to wear while pumping gas in my C5," asks a poster to the forum.....and here we go..... One reply claims the 5mil latex-free give a better feel for...

My Craftsman came without one, too. I cut a 'u' shaped notch out of a piece of 1/8" flat stock. Mine is 7/8". Took all of about 10 minutes.

I had an independent (formerly Cornwell) dealer that was in the midst of a nasty divorce. Every Monday he'd come in and always started off with "Guess what the dumb ***** did now?"....then he's lauch into a harangue about the details. After about 10 or so minutes of this his tone of voice would...

I had the same one as TylerRNEMT above. It gave me years of trouble-free service and I sold it when I moved. There are two problems with these is; you'll have to recess it into the floor if you don't want to use ramps and doing any kind of transmission work on a RWD car is out of the question. I...

Yes, I have a sense of humor.

When a question like this one is asked I often wonder what the motive for asking is.

I used to have one in my shop but every time I lit my race car off I lit the detector off, too. It's no longer in the shop.

If these trivialities make you sick to your stomach, what happens when you have a real world crisis?

How much is there that needs to be said or asked about these lifts? There's basically only floor mounting, hydraulics, modifications and repair questions to be discussed. These topics are well covered on this forum. That being said, I'd join a FB group anyway.

I ran an auto electric business for 40 years. Every now and then I'd have a customer come in with the part I had just sold him and tell me that he had installed it, found out it wasn't the problem, and want his money back. I would tell him that I wasn't in business to provide him with test...

As one who had hernia surgery for the 4th time recently, I agree.

Those are 203 bearings that can be commonly found in any starter-alternator rebuilding shop. I prefer the sealed (rubber seal) version over the shielded (what you have now).

Over the years I've discovered that the tools I own that are under warranty are usually warranted against everything except what's happened to mine. I rarely break any tools and I'm not at all concerned with warranty.

Another one.....people who advertise items online and leave out the most pertinent information, like listing a trailer and not giving the length/width or advertising outdoor a/c units and not giving the tonnage.

"Cummings" instead of "Cummins".

A Dremel tool and follow the lines. Don't use the exploding wheels, use wheel part #426.

You left out the part about the 'chain drive' wallet thing. I equate having one of those to when my mother used to clip my mittens to my sleeves so I wouldn't lose them. I rode cross-country on a bike years ago and never lost my wallet.

I had one of these years ago as a demo. The machine did an incredible job for me but it gave off an unbearable amount of heat as well as making the dial on the electric meter go around really fast. I didn't buy it.

I have found that a 50/50 mix of racoon sweat and panther drool can't be beaten.
