    Altoids are a schill for the drive-by they're in. That's the one to compare to the others on this forum!

    Underground Lair of the Squankum

    Don't know what he did as far as prefilling or coating the seal, however, there is a drip of (what looks like) oil running down the side of the filter just before he spins it on: I see that the cutter is fairly common tool for those wanting to inspect the filter for debris as a check on engine...

    Underground Lair of the Squankum

    Interesting device that he used to cut open the used filter cannister. Did he steal that from the kitchen or is that made for opening filters (& why, if so)? I haven't seen anything like that before.

    Made in USA extensions. Jawco

    We may see some of this stock at Epstein's in the future. This looks like something they would take on, and they already carry some Jawco items.

    Snap-On Counselor II MT3000A Okidat Printer Model OL600e

    Have you checked that the printer can emulate the HP 72 or Epson 75 modes and, if so, then check the setup menu on your printer to see if it is set to do the emulation?

    Dewalt Deals

    If you're holding off on either of these two current Dewalt construction jack deals for now, keep Acme in mind for the future. At the moment the pair is selling for $179 there, but at the end of January they ran a couple specials that brought the cost for the pair to just under $132 including...

    Interesting... Is the battery removable for recharging or does the unit need to be charged through something like a USB cable?

    An option for replacement brushes is to find a "close enough" brush and modify to fit. I had to do this to keep an old paper shredder running. It has been running w/o problem since then. The old brushes were worn down to nubs: I found something close and modified. The as received new brush...

    I haven't seen a response yet, so I'll suggest looking at the Worx corded WG430. I've had it for two seasons so far and have been satisfied with the results on wet and dry leaves. No problems so far. I don't have a lot to deal with annually, only the equivalent of about three or four 33...

    Masonry Tool Identification

    I haven't seen any comments on the utility of the four spring clamps. Maybe for holding sanding sheets or screens? But hard to reconcile this with the water/steam/air hose connection. I like the wallpaper steamer idea.

    They wanted state and zip to calculate shipping... $10.99 to ship to SW OH from Columbus, but probably about the same to ship elsewhere in the US. More than I would pay, unless I really wanted it!

    It does look like a good price. Amazon's price history shows that this is at the 30 and 90 day lows. However, in that time frame it's only been as high as ~$50. It's available from HJ Epstein for $61.20 (after the 15% discount they are currently offering on the Koken products they stock) plus...

    Probably an even slimmer use case than the intended one... I wonder if it could serve to manipulate cable assemblies on a bike or in a car? Pop out the spring clamp gizmo and grab onto some other type of cable. No particular use case in mind, but thinking about the cable in the console of my...
