(Bringing this one back yet again...) So no repair parts for this gem? And I should be glad I got the Pittsburgh Pro torque wrench as part of the "liquidation sale"?

(just noticed that the torque wrench i'm looking at ("liquidation sale" item) which is out-of-stock at my nearest HF, has a status of "Back In Stock Soon" at that nearest HF, so no "need" for me to scour the other HF's due to a perceived case of FOMO!)

Lol (everybody), thanks! Though this may be an excuse to finally get that Pittsburgh Pro 3/8 torque wrench I've been "needing". The long-reach floor jack can wait, I guess.

I see they are having one 7/22-7/28, "Making Room for New Items." Now, does that mean that these items are never to be seen again? Or reappearing rebadged? Or are they making room for more of these items?

(I gotta add again, I really appreciate the conversation (jokes), and useful tips, tricks and tool recommendations! I look forward to when I can return to my jeep/amc 258 I6 project, and the fun:stress ratio can tip more towards my favor!)

You win, and in comparison, I was making a mountain out of a mole hill!

Again, thanks all! More backstory, in this specific use-case, I am replacing the plugs on a Nissan V6 engine, and the LH bank of plugs is BURIED under the intake manifold, so no direct line-of-sight. When doing the middle plug today, I started with the hose, but something felt "squishy" so I...

Got it! Feel! Your "new tool arrivals" post of that device and the poster who mentioned the dowel in the hose is what made me finally try it, before I had always rolled the dice using the spark plug socket from start to finish. Thanks, all! (My blended solution was 3/8 hose with a plastic rod...

I think I follow you, but it's eventually going to slip either way, so is the potential sinking feeling determined by how soon it slips?

It was hard to judge, it felt loose and wobbly, until it didn't, I'd venture 6-10 turns? (The plug went in ok, I was just wondering how would I KNOW that I didn't cross-thread it). I guess if it were going in wrong, the hose would start to slip "sooner than it should" (dare I say, almost...

Did this earlier today and curious... How do you tell the difference between the hose slipping because the plug is as tight as it will go vs. slipping because the plug is cross-threaded?

Hey, I am both lazy and curious...so you're saying using an ultrasonic cleaner (and the cleaning powder) should remove surface rust off tools without harming the finish? (I bought some Flitz that I haven't tried yet, because, the lazy...)

That's Poulan PRO, mind you, the YELLOW one...you almost got away with short-"chain"ging me! 😂

That right there (again), I need to see how quickly I can get it off fast idle (partial choke) once it's started, instead of letting it run for 30 seconds, then taking it off fast idle, like I thought I was supposed to! (All of my cranking has been done with the chain break disengaged, I...

Gulp, was hoping to get away without mentioning the brand name for fear of condemnation...but it's a Poulan...Pro... Now, I had it running good once (so I thought), but the last time I used it, it would bog, die when revving, etc, but I was done with the task so I left it alone...for some...

Interesting! I didn't have any concerns about plug-starting until the past couple of years when my life got complicated by... complicated cars. I found the natural arc in the fuel hose I got for this "special tool" wasn't going away so now I store it with a dowel inside it to give it a...

Thanks all! I did lower the "T" screw, as the idle was initially too high (chain moved, didn't use a tachometer), then I backed the "L" screw down a 1/4 turn because the saw would bog when giving it throttle, seems to be running ok, haven't touched the "H" screw (yet). The fast idle (should I...

Thanks, that's the part I was looking for! So do NOT let it run like mad at the 1/2 choke setting once it starts, blip the throttle to disengage half-choke to immediately bring it to idle?

(Finally getting around to tuning the carburetor on my chainsaw). (Cold engine). At fast idle, the chain is going to move, right? (Unless you have the chain brake applied). How long should you leave the engine in the fast idle position before blipping the throttle? From the manual: "Allow...

I tried that trick for the first time recently and liked it! (Granted, the battery was pretty weak, and not shown in the pic was a C-clamp that surrounded the breaker bar handle, kinda like one of those driveshaft protectors for the racing crowd.)
