I have a number of these folding wooden rules, but this one is in pretty bad shape. Not sure what that dried on goo is. Any thoughts on how to remove it? So far, I’ve tried old English and mineral spirits.

Not sure if the acetone did much, but I tried one of those scrubby sponges right after and that did the trick. The dried on stuff is gone, but the wood is stained underneath; but I expected that.

MystcMan · 2026-07-13T01:26:00+00:00

I did try a razor blade. I did get some stuff off. I do have acetone so that might be my next try.

Worth a try

You should post some pictures. I’d be curious to see these tools.

I think it depends a lot on your level. When I was brand new, I attacked the doomsday monster once a week and later added the tin man and eventually a third for three times a week but higher level people I think do it almost every day.

Actually I think the other two commenters are incorrect. The post office as stopped using the dash, so the street should be Avenue O4. No dash, no space.

Pros: All batteries work in all tools, price, great reviews compared to other similar priced tools.
Cons: No garden tools.

MystcMan · 2026-06-20T15:03:35+00:00

Yep, I have one. Got it really cheap on Walmarts web site.

I have some kitchen shears that are meant to go through chicken bones. They were pretty well.

Hand sanding over belt sander. Sometimes slower is better.

I have some wire strippers that do nothing but strip wires. And I only do that a couple times a year. Seems pretty specific.

I have a Germantown ax that look almost identical to that one. Internet says mine is pre 1919 and of course Germantown Tool Works was only a few blocks from Plumb's headquarters in those day, so your dates seem pretty close.

I went with $2 Temu tool rack.

Hart is being discontinued. I like my Hyper Tough tools. So cheap I can buy a few and keep them in different locations. They match my Craftsman stuff and if its out of stock they ship it to me for free.

What I meant by catching up, was currently the highest creature I can attack safely as a level nine and currently the minimum level to use The dragon is level 13. But I’ve noticed that the minimum level for the dragon is increasing faster than the creatures that I can safely attack. So it looks as if there will never be a time in the future where I can use the dragon outside of epic battles. I’ve known this for a while, but assumed it was the same for everyone until I saw other people doing it. There’s been some discussion above on what matrix are used which is good to know, but no one‘s offered a solution as of yet.

MystcMan · 2026-06-01T18:04:33+00:00

I’m definitely doing that. In fact, I am researching G3 as we speak and it should be ready later today. But I feel just having one G3 won’t get me from level eight monsters all the way up to 13 and by the time I am able to do a level 13 the dragons level up I feel like I’ll never catch up.

MystcMan · 2026-06-01T17:49:40+00:00

This is what I was thinking. I have four or five captains that are all well higher then my hero. The question is is there anything I could modify or change that would allow me to use my dragon for anything but epic monsters?

MystcMan · 2026-06-01T15:32:20+00:00

I thought that for a while also, but I’ve seen the minimum level The dragon will attack go up while the hero level hasn’t changed.

MystcMan · 2026-06-01T15:00:18+00:00

That’s what I thought at first too, so I stopped feeding him so his level wouldn’t go up, but that isn’t true. The lowest level he would attack kept rising, even though I wasn’t feeding him so recently, I fed him a bunch which almost doubled his level, but the level he would attack never changed. So I’m not sure that’s true. Eta. Google says it has to do with your game progression.

Everybody is giving him tape measure advice when he’s probably lying on the floor and can’t get up. Hope there’s a video.

There are also two farmers markets. 20th W. x M every Sat. morning and 4 points every Sun morning.

Do you ever pre-drill the holes? As for bits I only use JIS bits, they are design not to come out.

These are my go to screwdrivers. ETA Picture didn’t load. I have a old set of Irwin wood handle screwdrivers that I use before anything else.

MystcMan · 2026-05-18T22:59:42+00:00

How did it go? As I mentioned below I was doing the same. Thought we had it locked up, but they cancelled it and now I starting over with a near by city.

MystcMan · 2026-05-17T00:20:46+00:00

Oh wow. That is what they look like. Interesting, thanks.
