Relax, most of us aren't adjusting turbofan blade angles all day and if we get a reading 10% off either way, it should be fine. All the more so if you use threadlock.

Yeah, like you I ran a chain too long and it prematurely wore out the cassette and ring. Learning my lesson and bought a Park Tool chain checked. It's ok, but I recently got a Pedro's checker that's supposedly more accurate as it uses 3 instead of 2 link "prongs". A bit harder to use though. It...

That, sir, are fighting words! Gulden's spicy brown or bust!

You'd be amazed at how passionately and angrily some people disagree with this.

Years ago I did what most people still do and put a conventional lube like Tri-Flow on my chain, with the results you stated. I got tired of having to clean it often and those calf grease tattoos so I switched to Dumonde Lite, which worked great for me, no dirt, very smooth, 200-300 miles...

My needs don't require that much accuracy. I usually aim for the average torque since a range is often given.

Less emergency than convenience, for very low torque fastening. I mean it's going to be used to torque it down so I don't see the problem with occasionally doing the pre-tightenng part with it too, if no other tool is nearby. And I have the non-Fuel M12 ratchet and use it a lot. If there's...

Old thread but might as well respond to wrap it up. No, never as a breaker--ever. And, usually not even as a regular ratchet, unless it's right there, everything else is somewhere else and we're just talking about a few turns to get it to torque. But usually I'll use a regular or cordless...

I keep it on if I'm just stopping for a few minutes to relax or go into a store to run some quick errands, as the straps tend to need readjusting if I take it off. But if I'm sitting down to lunch or coffee, it comes off, even if I'm sitting outside.

I've worn out both, but only because I didn't replace the chain when I should have, and hadn't waxed. Now I'm rotating between 4 quality chains, 2 each per my 2 cassettes, all new, properly cleaned and waxed. Assuming that everything I've read is true and I do it all right, I shouldn't have to...

I checked, not available. And even if it was, experience tells me that it would near the cost of a new support bar. I'm just looking to find a functionally equivalent DIY solution that would be safe and not too expensive. Are there relatively thick threaded rods than end in a pair of strong...

The Vevor, which appears to be identical to the HF. Decent quality, just missing key parts.

But what kinds bolts would work? I'm not very up on fasteners.

Does anyone know where or how to get spare parts for these? I bought a used one from Amazon that was missing one of the hook screws and both chains. I was going to return it but they told me to keep it for free. Alternately, what could I get to jerry-rig the equivalent that could support a...

What kind of pressure does it put out and for how long? I wouldn't need it for more than a few seconds at a time so it might be perfect for my needs, although at 20lbs it's pretty heavy.

If I had to choose I'd go with one that could be used to provide pressurized air for such tasks and use a standard blower, either mini or full size, for cleaning. Just wish there was a truly "mini" device that did that and provided continuous pressurized air without need for a large tank. I'm...

Thanks, good to know. I had one of the latter, a combo mini vacuum/blower I got to clean my PC, whose blower was surprisingly powerful for its size and cost, that I used to blow leaves and debris from the ground when working on my car outside, but it burnt out eventually and I haven't replaced...

I don't use air tools so I don't have a compressor. But sometimes it would be nice to have pressurized air to blow away leaves and debris from an engine bay or suspension, or when working on parts that require pressurized air such as the pistons on an automatic transmission. So I was wondering...

I have several LiOn jump starters, not this brand, and they're really handy. One is really small and fairly low power but enough to get a compact 4cyl car started when it hasn't been run in a while, while the other, a Gooloo, is much larger and more powerful and with its boost mode has never...

I also have a trans jack for the trans itself, which doesn't have support hooks and is meant to be held from below. Toyota made all this way more complicated than it needs to be and apparently they fixed this in later models, but it's the situation I have and I just have to make the most of it.
