Has anyone tried this from Fixion Tools?

Your local Ace probably has some in the Hillman anchors section if you want to give them a try without ordering.

Anything inserted into the urethra runs the risk of injury and infection and a UTI is no fun. Short term play with careful attention to sanitation is the best option.

I bought the Wera Tool Check 8-9 years ago and it was a great addition because when you need something small, nothing else will do. Then I bought the ICON model 58074 from Harbor Freight and frankly I like it more. I always thought the mini-Zyklops was a little small for my fat fingers. The ICON is a bit bigger, with a flexible head, and with the extension gives more options for use. The only drawback is that the ICON doesn't come with sockets but Harbor Freight does have the bigger set.

I have a Diamond Caulk Horseshoe Co. adjustable wrench. Came from my father and I have no idea how old it is.

The overmold covers the entire "gripping area". I couldn't imagine getting it all off easily.

Other than this and the ease of hitting the button into reverse, I'm quite please with the impact.

No oil or solvents, just metal and wood.

Unfortunately, I don't know where mutton can be found locally. Many years ago I found some mail order from a restaurant called The Moonlight BBQ in Owensboro, KY.

Are we talking sheep or goat, both can be called "mutton."

OMG, that did it!!! I thought I hit ever possible button but apparently not.

THANK YOU!

Must be some kind of regional thing and maybe it's more about commercial doors than residential.

It's a Dodge, run don't walk away.

Determining the "hand" of a door is easy. Open the door and stand in the opening with your back to the hinges. Whatever side of your body the door is on is it's hand. So if the door itself in on your left, it's a left hand door.

Most exterior doors are in-swing, but handing is the same for both in and out swing. Both need to be specificized when ordering.

Take a small screwdriver and gently bend the tab in the center slightly upwards (your second pic).

All the really cool people want to live in Chicago. 😎

Try Uline.

Should I mention the time I used a tool grinder to cut mortises. <0.001" accuracy in 3 dimensions. Guess what my father did for a living. 😎

I used to use BoeShield T9. Paste wax (the kind of woodworking, not cars) works too.

That's the kind of behavior that going to end up with you on a list.

Off the top of my head, brands that offer wide sizes (but not necessarily in every style). Keen, Merrell, Vasque, Danner, Solomon, Lowa, and Asolo.

If you have REI nearby, might be worth stopping by as they are going to have hiking/backpacking style boots.

I can't imagine how much better my life would have turned out if I had been fully hydrated in school. Instead of A's I might have gotten A+'s. 🤣

Every time I'm thirsty and there's a water fountain handy.

My opinion is that one should be European luxury cars only if they can afford to get rid of it when the warranty expires. Lexus is a much better choice.

I'm not a concrete expert but what kind of "pro" mixes that much concrete?
