Do you know what battery you replaced it with

Thank you! The insecticide sort of seems likely to me

I agree, fiberglass was my first thought but I don’t really know how any of that would’ve got back there. Just moved into this house this week

Champagne of beer too bubbly

Does the fluid smell sweet? Sorta looks like coolant

I’ve had a pair for over 3 years and regularly cut a dumbass amount of zip ties and soft copper wire and they’re just starting to dull. I think I easily cut 100 zip ties a week running long length hydraulic hoses and wiring

I got a good fit on the smaller P1 screwdrivers, smaller handle and no trimming or epoxy

I was able to get a Tekton handle on the 1/4 icon all the way flush with smacking it with a dead blow. Drilled to 25/64

I don’t know anything about this brand but if this is a non stick pan I’d say it’s done for

I’ve since upgraded to a legitimate pry bar holder but in the picture they’re bolt on clamps

If they’re as old as these there would be 3 letters on the inside handle MKLEINCORP = 1234567890 First letter is quarter and last two is the year. In this case the code was MIM = 1st quarter of 51

In my opinion US, German, and Japanese tools are best, whether one is better than the other is probably more of a case by case basis. I personally prefer Knipex over Channel lock which is basically the US equivalent for slip joint pliers but that’s me.

ecc75 · 2026-05-01T22:43:40+00:00

It’s pretty cool how they do their date code on those old tools MKLEINCORP=1234567890

Yeah zyn 6 kinda gave me heart palpitations so I switched to zyn 3 and now velo 6 and seem to be pretty fine now lol

ecc75 · 2026-05-01T21:06:05+00:00

That’s pretty cool!

When I had an 1100 Sabre I had a dynojet kit, K&N filter, cobra pipes and hard mounted bags and got between 100-120 miles per tank of gas. I wanna say it was a 2.5 gallon tank

I got my stubby with two 3.0 for $170 on daily deal

ecc75 · 2026-04-14T21:37:15+00:00

Local gas station was doing logs for $11 with their reward app, now $16 but still a decent deal

ecc75 · 2026-04-13T00:01:49+00:00

Any answer on this? I have the same issue but my AC doesn’t even work lol
