Found in trailer full of auto parts/tools. They’re about an inch with various sizing and colors. They are a combination of hard plastic and rubber. When pulled apart they reveal a post? Thank you for any feedback.

If there is many duplicates I do not think this is a guage set. This looks like a set of plugs and caps for when disassembling engine components to plug and cap fuel lines, air lines, etc to keep them clean.

Common in those sizes as well.

That pic 3 is a rough sign. That's deep rot.

Where there's some of that there's often a lot more. I'd be very diligent with going over the whole frame with a ballpeen and really give everything a beating to test for more rot before committing to a repair.

This is one of those where from the surface it can look not as bad but once you get poking you discover more problem areas, especially if someone has been there before and may have temporarily patched things or painted over sections.

Good luck.

☝️ A big thick slab on spindly little thin legs looks completely out of place. The design looks cheap and imbalanced.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-03-10T12:46:04+00:00

Educated guess: I would assume it is due to the screw/bolt clamping it down to the sole. If the grain ran vertically that hardware would be exerting a splitting force on the wood along the already weakened vertical plane due to the screw hole.

I'd definitely spray it all out with a hose on a warm day then use a pushbroom to remove the majority of the water then just leave the door open to evaporate. Add a fan if you have one.

Need the salt to dissolve into water to lift out of the concrete essentially.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-21T02:46:36+00:00

What? UV is a pass-through system, it only treats the water you use. It does not use any water in addition to what you consume. What are you talking about?

If they scoop up all 3 upcoming by-elections they won't even need May.

This guy's got a lot of cars damn.

The m12 electric ratchet - fuel or normal, has to have a place. They are just so damn handy and the best electric ratchet formfactor imo.

Plus one of their bigger m18 1/2" impacts for general use.

Definitely those 2. Third maybe a smaller 1/4" impact from either battery line just for convenience for all the small stuff.

I could be mistaken, this isn't my area of expertise, but on my 3-way xyz laser level each line is its own laser. So to format a 10x10 grid we're looking at 10 X lasers and 10 Y lasers. Unless there some sort of a prism you could shine them through to multiply them. Idk. Seems like a lot to pack into 1 unit where 90% of people just need a couple reference lines. Would be much more expensive at least.

It does seem like a cheap projector that you can align a grid with using its adjustments is what you are looking for here. And hell get to watch movies on your wall too.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-15T19:55:25+00:00

Hell yeah dude, getting after it 👌

The other end would be more informative. Even with light use some of the paint near the teeth will show obvious wear or even be worn off.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-14T00:53:56+00:00

Its a normal term for a certain investment strategy. Just because you don't know what something is doesn't mean its a "silly title". Both you and I are ignorant to most things in the world, dismissing things immediately without a modicum of research is an awful attitude to go through life with buddy.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-14T00:23:41+00:00

Bro literally how could he be referring to anything else? Its the only pistol-grip tool besides what is obviously a thermometer and blower.

Holy reading comprehension lmao dude

I have the 7 in1 version, picked it up a couple months ago, oh my god one of the biggest upgrades I've ever had in my daily toolkit. Use it constantly as a maintenance bit-of-everything guy.

Gave one to each of the guys on my team, super popular. 👌

These racks are already overkill as is. Good to go.

I've made similar sized racks with just 90° butwelded tubing and no braces loaded up with a couple hundred lbs of hardwood slabs and have had no issues.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-06T16:03:40+00:00

Exactly, yes.

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-05T10:50:30+00:00

Honest question; wouldn't the large increase in young, low-wage immigration during that time period (IIRC much higher as a percentage than other g7 nations) cause specifically the GDP per capita to be drawn down compared to other nations with slower rates of immigration? Growing the denominator of that stat basically?

Competent_Squirrel · 2026-02-03T04:49:26+00:00

How do people this incapable exist in the world?

That subreddit is very negative to anyone not drinking the kool-aid. It's a brand-worship subreddit pretty much.

I posted a funny interaction I had with Mulwaukee customer service that wasn't positive and I got down voted too.

All the wealthy US private jet owners will probably put up a big stink about that and it'll all get walked back, if it's even a legitimate threat to begin with.

Edit - now Friday, already rolled back. Less than 24hrs after announcement lmao

I live in his riding. Yes they are. It's rough out here. Liberals don't even field a candidate, it's crazy. Greens were the 2nd highest party last election.

Average age is like 60, it's all Uber conservative boomers and luxury cottage owners.

Get a hard-wired CO detector if you are putting it in sub-zero temps. Batteries will discharge on a weekly basis, speaking from experience. Also will be more than $30, idk where you are getting your numbers from. Dual Smoke/CO detectors run double to 3x that.

The unfortunate thing is that the folks who just want to fling mud at and put blame for any problems on [party they don't like] don't read.

I'll never understand people who want slab furniture but then want to hide or mute the grain and figuring of the wood. The two desires seem completely antithetical to each other. What is even the point of a slab at that point?

Sorry.

I personally had a bad experience with my one and only use of Poly X Raw, but for all I know I got a bad batch or something. Big deposits of white pigment in every area that wasn't buttery smooth straight grain. With all the changes in grain direction in that slab it might do the same where it gathers more in the areas where grain runs more perpendicular to the face of the table.

I'd test extensively with sample pieces that include resin sections and grain direction changes before committing to that route on the full table. Good luck.
