Yeah, I suppose if that line isn't working here - it won't work tomorrow!

..rianna!!..shhhh...if we don't speak it it won't happen!!..

 

[oswaldters]

My fear isn't getting slapped - it's that she would use those vise grips to do some kind of Three Stooges thing where she uses them to grab me by my ears or something.

[Rianna]

LOL...okay, I'll be quiet, then, but really, I have doubts that line will get a pleasant result...

[wordslinger]

where she uses them to grab me by my ears or something.


..be grateful if she goes for the ears!!!!

 


..NUTS!!...i mean DANG!!...

 

[oswaldters]

 

She's actually very nice and would never visit bodily harm on me - just for the record.

However, I do have family in town this weekend so in the end I should focus on seeing them since we only get together a few times a year.

Maybe I will have to wait until next weekend

Even cheaper than Home Depot.  Plus you get three different sizes.  I have several different clamps like this and use them all the time.

Thanks Pedro.

That looks like too good a deal to pass up.  Clearly I need those clamps in my life!

Good thing there's a Harbor Freight store not too far away.

Their electric tools are disposable but they're hand tools last quite a while.  You can't beat cheap.

..i just like the feel of a hand tool when working on my scoot...

..i KNOW how much torque i'm using....

[oswaldters]

That's a good point Word - I always worry about over torquing something. 

The beauty of the impact wrench in my opinion is really getting tight/rusted nuts to open easily.

Putting them back on I'd rather be able to do it by hand to make sure they don't get over tightened.

[wordslinger]

..been working in industrial maintenance for over 20 years...

..kinda get a feel for torquing fasteners and such...

..these aluminum casings will not withstand ANY hard torque...

..the drive shaft nut is considered a stretch threaded nut..not to be torqued repeatedly...so, when you re-assemble, use a small bit of blue "lock-tite" threadlocker on the inner threads of the nut..

..don't need more than a glazing..

..but it's that extra bit of reassurance that counts...

[oswaldters]

small bit of blue "lock-tite" threadlocker

Now that I do have.

Progress!
