    Is your dryer's lint trap a pocket by the door, or a dipstick-screen on the top panel?

    I'm always a sucker for a new vacuum attachment. Learned about this from a man whose entire YouTube channel is him, professionally cleaning out people's clogged dryers and their ductwork. This is not fully rigid and can fit into narrow spots like a normal person might encounter between car...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Bob Heine's Auto Emporium

    The peculiar form of racing I was involved in was very easy on brakes! At least on our car, which kept getting lighter and lighter. So easy that we "backdated" the front rotors from the vented discs found on later VW's of that era, to the solid/unvented rotors of the diesel model. That also...

    I got a pair in the spring, loved them, bought a pair for a buddy, he loved them, he bought a smaller pair for work. I learned about them in this forum last winter. Never knew about flush cuts before.

    I'm glad you got so lucky! In that third situation, how quickly did it take for the fallen wrench to create big problems?

    I ran out and bought the Knipex electrician's scissors when Ryan featured them on the front page. I later learned about the Doyles and bought them to compare. I never talk this way frivolously, I really mean it when I say these things do come from the same assembly line in Taiwan. Different...

    I had almost forgotten until just now, and it only happened a month or three ago. I was looking for a small container, found an old Rubbermaid salt or pepper shaker in a kitchen drawer. Hooray! Just the thing! Oh, look, there's some foreign matter, some residue in the bottom of it, I shall blow...

    There I wuz, sizing up the ladder prices at Lowes, when I saw this hanging on a column. Neat! If you can't afford an eyewash station, why not an eyepiece you can screw to a water bottle? Restrictor holes: $3, and somebody in reviews was moaning about the price. (An old British...
