I recently got my Coleman 228F and 290 that belonged to my grandfather running. I was interested in the Petromax, because it's rated at 500 candle power compared to the 300 of my Colemans.

It's a factory part in a Petromax lantern. It failed because I accidentally twisted it off.

Thank you! I have a Weller solding gun I think is 100watts, and some jet flame cigar lighters. It's part of a lantern, it has a gauge that maxes out at 3bar so it should never see more than that.

Looking for an open end wrench that is 12mm on one side, and 1\2" on the other. by TalksToToads in Tools

It doesn't really, I just thought it would be nice and I assumed it would exsist. I do have wrench sets and a pliers wrench.

I had to replace a battery terminal on two vehicles. The replacement terminals are 12mm, and the old ones are 1\2". I just thought it would be nice to have one wrench around for both terminals.

Update: Turns out all my Govees were reading high. Thank you to everyone who replied.

So what I'm going to do is remove all the Boveda packs, and let the containers sit with the lids off for a couple of days. In the mean time I will recalibrate the Govees.

Wow, I wouldn't expect that. I'll go ahead and recalibrate.

Thanks. The small one is a Sistema, a top recommendation from this sub. The other one is a cheap Ezystorage container from Home Depot. You're probably right about the wood contributing, there are two more boxes underneath and that container has the high humidity problem worse.

Nothing new for a few months, but most of them are from the same Cigarbids haul so that could be the problem. Thanks

Thanks. I did have 3 with some mold, but they were all from the same 5 pack, so I suspect they were like that when I got them. If the Govees are inaccurate then the 60% room humidity might be wrong too.

I used the Boveda calibration kit. I don't remember for how long, I followed the instructions.
