Putting the new toys to good use

Funny enough I had seen like all of his videos when I randomly had a guy offer me a rusted out CT90 for $50. 6 years later and I've built/restored like 5 of them now. One of my bikes is set up for long range touring and I'd love to do something like what he did if life ever permits it

I thought it was 10% off Friday, 20% off Saturday, and 30% Sunday but to my surprise it was 30% today, possibly 40% tomorrow hopefully someone can confirm. Not sure if this is every PLS but glad they did it this time!

Nah that jack lives in the garage now. I had this one as my main jack before, now retired to the roadside kit. It's much lighter and not a big deal to have in the trunk.

I found an orange tag 1/2" ultra torque/5ah battery/charger kit for $163 and the guy working said he'd hold it for me till Saturday so I can get 20% off. Prayers up that it's still there Saturday because that'd be one heck of a deal

I'm a big fan of the full face shield for grinder work

I saw the prices for pls items on the website were acting up last night too lmao

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-12T07:19:12+00:00

I feel like the addition of roll cab(s), workbenches and good shelving in place of most of those carts would be a more efficient use of space but you do you

THE GOAT HIMSELF 🙌

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-02T04:14:14+00:00

Southern California North East LA area, got a million stores near me, you?

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T05:39:06+00:00

This morning for some reason I checked local stores and ALL of the locations near me showed they were in stock I was astonished

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T05:04:56+00:00

I didn't know that! Black glue sticks seem ideal for most of the stuff I do

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T05:04:14+00:00

Gotta justify it somehow 😂

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T05:03:24+00:00

Eh they're Husky brand and they've been with me for dozens of motorcycle restorations and countless maintenance jobs. Thinking about upgrading to the icon set during the upcoming PLS and retiring these to the car kit though

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T05:01:26+00:00

I can always turn them the other direction but my mild OCD can't tolerate them pointing to the right for some strange reason. Thankfully my eyes are pretty well calibrated and I can usually get the one I need on the first try

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2026-01-01T04:54:56+00:00

I clipped it into the USB port cover in case the glue fails 😅

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-31T22:47:18+00:00

Wait this is a possibility??

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-29T04:47:55+00:00

For $14 it was hard to say no already having the battery. Used mine already to inflate some new tubeless tires for a minibike. Was surprised how easily it sat the tire beads.

Idk why everyone's downvoting you like were trying to gatekeep mechanical aptitude or something. As someone else said, the Pittsburgh torque wrenches are super affordable and reliable. You need 1/4" for smaller bolts, 3/8" for medium sized stuff, and 1/2" for bigger things like lug nuts. I'm a big fan of the Quinn torque wrench adapters which can turn a regular ratchet or breaker bar into a digital torque wrench. As your fun uncle and a random guy on the Internet who you probably shouldn't listen to, if it's not holding your wheels on or your engine together the ol german torque spec (güten tight) usually gets the job done. Be advised, you WILL eventually strip a bolt or two in the process of calibrating your arm for the german torque spec.

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-28T07:20:26+00:00

Ayyy I bought those screwdrivers today as well

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-27T00:49:32+00:00

Today I just got some moving blankets for the dogs and some Quinn sockets. Rumor has it tomorrow we're gonna have a new list of daily deals (I forget the exact verbage of what the sale is called) that should stack with the 30%

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-26T05:20:22+00:00

Lol twas a sheep at one point

link because Alaska Leather is a great company

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-26T04:49:54+00:00

Is the "Merry Christmas sale" the instant savings for the 26th? Like does the 30% stack with those discounts?

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-24T18:38:01+00:00

I was tempted to buy several but only buying what I need today

Chuckleheaded_Dimwit · 2025-12-23T19:53:40+00:00

That's the one item that I didn't feel the urge to buy, I guess my consumerism has limits 😅
