We had one hourly employee, out of over a 1000 in the plant, that received a superior (5) from his supervisor years ago. He absolutely deserved it (as did some others) and the shop foreman came and took it back (changed it to a 4) because "only if you walk on water and perform miracles" does...

Forget DIY. Its amazing how many professional mechanics will have a plethora of prybars, big to micro and all kinds interesting shapes at the foot in his tool box and will still be using a flat blade screwdriver to pry with. Saw it repeatedly over the 20 years as a mech

I get the mistake, I am sure if I wasn't so perfect at the start I would have made mistakes as well, but wouldn't of told anyone about the mistake. /s I probably wouldn't have mentioned it except for the fact that you keep insisting that its the manufactures fault just as many of those who...

Even happens right here on garagejournal. You would think everyone here would know that drywall screws were made of cheap hardened steel to the point that they are brittle

I hate having to upgrade tools because of quality/material being cheepend right off the bat. I bought an osborn EB3 several years ago. The osborne was terrible out of the box, had to machine a new pivot piece as they had moved production to china and the threaded hole that bolted to the bar...

Its bs that the used plastic there/it broke. But before it did break was it actually useful or should I say easy to use? I have the smallest to a large 4" ridgid branded cutters and I cant recall the last time I used they durable but flunky to use deburring tools mounted on the small to mid...

I think that was more directed to the OP cutting 14000 zip ties a day. If you are applying that many an automated zip tie gun may be a better choice.

I bet @Metallitubby would love that Cali orange!

Menards actually owns the plant would make it not the middle man

Have you seen many capacitor failures on Allen Bradley drives? We had hundreds of them at the factory and the only time we removed them was when the machine was being scrapped(specialized custom machines with a 30 year life cycle or longer) and only changed a few drives out when something else...

I would run a program on the controller that starts circulating air any time the temp drops say 2 or more degrees from the high in the past 4 hours AND the inside temp is higher than the outside temp. I think if you wait till 78 degrees outside temp you may already be behind the eight ball in...

What brand/model is that? Most of the 4" capacity mowers are 6' or 7' and need at least 60hp :headscrat Flail mowers have always been mainly marketed as rough cut mower. From chopping corn stalks, weeds, to ditch banks and rocky fields was the running theme in the old Mott flail mower ads...

You can not dense pack with drywall in place. There is netting that lets the air dump at the site of where cellulose is packing. Trying to fill a closed cavity has air blow back and creates cavities, that still may settle but no where near the density of dense pack. The following is the only...

How long is the kayak? Short kayaks (under 14') with any rocker what so ever usually don't track straight on the lakes. But the flip side is long straight keeled boats don't turn on rivers well either.

I used esun for years without issue and then I printed some of their black and couldn’t get it to print even after it was dried. After several failed prints I finally figured out the filament was undersized, nearly by 10 percent and therefore under extruding. The next roll was the same so I...

Did you do the roof horizontal? or vertical?

Can you find a reinforced blade with a 1/2" arbor hole, most all of the blades for chop saws are 1" or 7/8" Those are sample saws. Designed to cut with coolant, very slowly, and give almost mirror like cuts for use to prepare samples for testing in a lab. I maintained (and sometimes used)...

A cutting wax stick is a much better solution than wd40 on steel. Aluminum WD40 is great. It could be just a crappy piece of steel. Back when I was a machinist 20 years ago it wasn't uncommon to have a batch of steel forgings come in and all the high end carbide tool life went to hell, even...
