    can anyone indentfy this

    Grip maybe when using it by hand? Perhaps "catching" it on to something to keep it in the torqued position?

    Free flap wheels from Benchmark Abrasives

    Got mine just 3 days after ordering... I added a bunch of 5" discs too as I was about to get some more anyway and thought i'd give these guys a try... Used a couple of them so far and they are just fine. Another company to add to the list of suppliers :D

    cordless tool batteries

    Same mixed experience here with batteries of all kinds. Some cheap ones are ok, some are not. For the most part by the time you consider any losses or early deaths with the cheap ones and time spent trying to resuscitate them, I've found it's more productive to get the genuine ones if funds...

    How do you keep a gravel driveway weed free?

    White vinegar (1Gal), salt (as much as you can dissolve) in 1Gal water and 1 cup of dishwashing soap. all mixed up in a foamy death sauce for everything plant like. Might take a little longer than a heavy duty commercial product but it works for me a couple times a year, or once a year in good...

    RideCache

    Oh - and this is nit-picking in all honesty.... The Octo-head wrench logo was the first thing that jumped out at me - basically saying to me that there is little actual knowledge about tools/cars/engines etc.

    RideCache

    I get the lack of the social side - but that might just bite you in the ***. Despite what some people want to think, right now social media is the king among millennials. Don't just push your appeal to a generation, make it optional. If you want it great, if you don't - great. Older generations...

    Garage door opening spontaneously - only partially

    The little handle on a rope that allows you to open the door manually - if it's not actually holding then the door could be opened by hand, and if it's not adjusted properly I guess it could creep open? Someone will probably say it's not possible, but just a thought...

    Garage door opening spontaneously - only partially

    Is the safety catch actually "catching"?

    Adroid Scan Tools : Torque Pro vs. BlueDriver

    I prefer the interface and real time stats of Torque, but as far as I could make out it was not able to read ABS codes, which is what I needed, so I went for BlueDriver which does... got my codes read and fixed. I might still go for a cheap ebay bluetooth sender so I can use Torque though...

    5qt Mobil 1 "synthetic" $27 at Walmart - $12 rebate = $15

    Those going to AAP for this - are you just going in store to get the AAP deal? I tried ordering on line for in store pick up, but it just hit me with the regular price - the AAP special does say "in store only" - but on the same page it has a link to "order online and collect in store"....

    Napa - Carlyle tools sale?

    Holding stock for 3 years equates to losing money for many businesses - especially if they know there is a new design on the way or something... But could be anything really - maybe even just to bump brand awareness?

    Napa - Carlyle tools sale?

    Maybe it's old stock? Old stock at cost absolutely makes senses - especially as it's an "on site" thing - there's a hope that you'll buy a bunch of other stuff while you're there - at full price. Also - seems like they're franchised operations, so "cost" may be the franchise cost - meaning...

    Suction gun on sale at NAPA for $10

    I have a couple from my Land Rover days for that exact purpose - should have been part of the vehicle toolkit!

    HOA vs HOME MECHANIC

    Honest question.... If you're not given a copy of the regs/HOA rules/whatever before closing, how can you be bound by them? I would assume that you can only be bound by a contract that you've signed and therefore you can only sign if you have it in front of you?

    I doesn't ask you for the college you go to though, it just says "School" and "Instructor". No mention of it needing to be current, or even related to the industry.:headscrat
