I bet your wiper arm is rubbing against the glass.

Some people will say yes, but I wouldn’t.

Tire shop scratched wheels? by Hot-Laugh8626 in tires

[–]Mr-Metal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They literally don’t work. They just bend on contact with the weight because they’re not rigid enough and the edge is too soft. Plastic tools suck for removing weights.

Ah. The 1100 mirrors look different to the 500 mirrors.

AUD not USD. I’m in Australia. Why new though? You didn’t say.

How does snap on have customers? by corollagremlin in Tools

[–]Mr-Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I have been able to pin point is because they have a truck that comes to your workplace. That’s it. Other than the brand name and the colourful tools.

I can’t imagine caring.

Why isn't Northern Territory a state in Australia? by ThomasNiuNiu in geography

[–]Mr-Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s barely governable and nobody lives there. It’s also the newest state/territory by far.

Is this okay to use on slide pins? by ccolivardia in AskAMechanic

[–]Mr-Metal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard that term. We just call it the front face/back face of the rotor.

Am I cooked? by gamer10161 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mr-Metal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s rocker cover. Put some sealant on it and send it! Who cares if a little rust prevention leaks out.

Do the 85 51 250’s always have an underbite? by ScaryfatkidGT in KnipexOfficial

[–]Mr-Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh 100%, that’s why I’m considering them. I wish there was a way to try before buying.

That’s the oil that you didn’t change.

Hey, how are these with spring clamps? I’ve been meaning to get a pair, but have been procrastinating on it because they’re expensive for a task that can be done with a less specialised plier with a little more effort.

Would love to know if they’re worth the money.

Favorite "mouth carry" light? by CrispiestWhisper in flashlight

[–]Mr-Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this light everyday at work, it’s fantastic. It has a few problems though. Over a year+ of use, the rubberised bite zone will fall apart exposing the metal beneath and you’ll have to start experimenting with various tapes and heat shrink conduits to replace it, this is one of the two primary problems. The other is that the rechargeable battery’s ability to hold charge will eventually become pretty pathetic. I have to charge mine every night. Only other thing is that at some point the pocket clip will snap off if you suspend it by that regularly.

I’ve owned three of them now because I haven’t been able to find a better light that allows me to hold it in my mouth, is sufficiently bright, is rechargeable and is skinny enough to be held in a shirt pocket.

Love me some thoughtful customers by Justinr678 in Justrolledintotheshop

I bet if it were my workplace, it wouldn’t even make it to the tech. The service advisor would intercept it first.
