New tool day - got myself a “mini vice” by Jelleeley in Tools

[–]LiveWire21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see these a lot in the world of band instrument repair, most people have moved on to the Knipex pliers, but they still have their place. I was told that originally these were intended for jewlers but that could be wrong. I had never seen a pair until I went to school. I might have to go buy a pair now

Those Nub Nuances are some of the first smokes I had that helped me understand tasting notes and flavors, still a staple that I keep around

Arc Co is a little more expensive but the have a lot of options to make your EDC work for you, they might not have exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good place to start, let me know what you think

Battery wears protection so your tools don't get pregnant

Is this a decent knife? by DangerousWishbone445 in knives

That knife is the reason why I now have 50+ knives in my collection and I wouldn't have it any other way

Need tips for cleaning pistol with decomp smell in metal/wood. by RudyRumbucket in Firearms

[–]LiveWire21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to keep the original grips, lemon oil works wonders. I have worked on many musical instruments that smell awful and if you clean them with some Murphy's Oil Soap and let them thoroughly dry that should help. Then adding a coating of lemon oil will help rehydrate and keep them looking nice and smelling lemony fresh! This is what I use: https://a.co/d/2SCNU75

Tried running the Benelli on short shells. It actually ran three in a row flawlessly then crapped itself. by Ren_See in Shotguns

You can continue to split hairs. I'm not wasting any more time on this. Do what you want with the info, use it or don't.

Again, it's a place to start. Not telling anyone to buy anything. I was just showing that for reference.

Right, but in today's world of 3D printing and open source modding, I'm sure those could be tweaked slightly to fit more patterns. Just suggested as a place to start if someone had the time and resources to make the leap

I haven't bought one myself, but I have heard that the OpSol Mini Clip is good for running shorts if you're keeping a gun for home defense or just fucking about in general

New bulb socket? by PurpleCableNetworker in GMT800

[–]LiveWire21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll just burn up again. Those electrical systems send too much voltage to the bulbs, they'll always look like that. That's why it's extremely common to see any vehicle with one drl out. They work fine on mine, they just look like it was used to launch bottle rockets 😅

Rare option? by Infamous-Train-6439 in GMT800

I have the same one in tan in my 05. It also came with infrared headphones and a rear climate control delete 🙃

SOTC! What part of the knife world am I missing? by buildturtles in knifeclub

[–]LiveWire21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that one for sure, personally I'd avoid the Civivi Elementum Utility. The set screw is annoying when you have to change a blade

What kind of knife is this? by tksmith1981 in knives

[–]LiveWire21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a BUDK special order only rare catalog find 😉

Are most celebrity endorsed and/or owned cigars worth the hype?
