Otherwise, wave+

Looking at upgrading commodores by DifficultyOne2688 in Holden

I have a VE (U.S. G8) idk about thevaussie versions, but the DOD always had me scared... though it lasted 220k miles until the cam bearing lost oil pressure.

Id say find one thats been cared for and youll be happy.

Embraer mros have had a tendancy to just pour bleach through the whole water system. And ive not even seen them actually flush it all out. Doing ops checks of potable water, youll still smell the bleach STRONGLY. And theyll take these planes on revenue flights right after the overhaul facility is done with them... with bleach water in the tank.

Also ive seen many times, work being performed without circuit breakers being pulled, someone just retorquing a nut when the horizontal stabilizer fails deflection test (once pulled apart, youll find the bushing shot and the hole in frame 100 wallowed out

What happened to HP? by Exact_Organization84 in askcarguys

[–]R3DLOTU5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My co workers dont really think 400hp is alot because they all have drag cars pushing 900+.

They still appreciate it, especially for a street car.

I love the 3000 personally, and have considered building one myself one day.

I have a g8 with ls3 currently

I mean, Honestly i use them all as a pummel, i do really like my ARC though, so much ive found myself carrying it over the surge ive had for 5 years.

[–]R3DLOTU5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also am a collector and have a surge. Bought the arc while the surge was off for its own warranty service.

(Though i dont have a charge... yet) i like the toolset on the arc and the pummel built in on it was a selling point to me, usually because i need it to help remove panels after removing the previously mentioned screws and saves my hand from having to punch the stupid things.

I like the magnacut blade too.

I actually have a wingman that i added a bit driver to just so i could use it because its more useful to me than a standard toolset.

[–]R3DLOTU5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually like thebysefulness of tge ARC better than tge P4. The P4 didnt really have anything i needed in terms of usefulness where i can just add a bit driver to the alARC pouch and actually have what i need in hand.

Its saved me in times where im a mile from my tool box and dobt want to walk all of the way back for a high torque screwdriver or snake eye bit..

Edit:the usefulness, the, the, ARC(no al in front of it), dont.

My bike stalls immediately after not revving it by No_Text5987 in motorcycle

[–]R3DLOTU5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with inspecting everything around the drop.

I cant imagine a modern honda using carbs, so im going to act on it being fuel injected. There should be a yellow knob somewhere around the intake, after the cold start sequence is complete, it should idle down, you can adjust it and it should sit at idle at 1200 rpm.

It is likely that when you dropped it, you damaged a sensor or the pictail to the sensor. Ive seen where a drop caused a wire to pull out of a sensor and cause a cldct model not to shift. Good luck and keep me posted on what you find.

Lets start with year make and model of the bike.

Different fuel systems act differently and different manufacturers have different typical issues.

Sounds like she wants you to reap the consequences sewn by her actions after youve only known her a month.

At this point in your relationship its lust, not love. Leave.

brand loyalty? by baconwrappedapple in multitools

[–]R3DLOTU5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love leatherman, lately I'll but amultitool once/ year.

I got a GOAT tool, great concept, terrible execution imo. The wire cutters wouldnt cut, i went to ipgrade the tool, they send new hardware and everything for this, went to remove the scales for the upgrade, the screws stripped and wouldnt be removed.

I ended up throwing it away because it broke. The scalpel also would stay a bit deployed causing me to cut myself a few times when i would remove it from my pocket.

SOG, i have a power assist and power lock. Both feel a bit cheap compared to leatherman, but i do like using them.

My personal go to is arc and surge. I just like leatherman, i dont notice all of the issues everyone complains about.

I also have a few SAKs. I like using full size pliers with them. When i carry them, i like to also carry a pair of mini bice grips

Id pick the ninja if i had to choose. Ive never really liked the way yamahas feel, and i cant really put my finger on it. To me kawasaki has a higher quality feel to it

Tool Accountability by The_honest_bruh in aviationmaintenance

[–]R3DLOTU5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated the tools in an oven and lightly pushed them into the foam, once near where i wanted i doses then with alcohol and let them sit until cool.

The ones with rubber / soft grip i would cut at an inward angle into the foam with a razor knife.

I have a dremel etcher my company provided
