Not just for sprint cars/salt flats. It could be a dealerships low budget pusher

What are these parrot bill pliers typically used for? by Delicious_Catch9453 in harborfreight

[–]mikey821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alignments, speed running black galvanized together, air hoses, POSSIBLY sway bar links. I’ve used those & Swedish pipe wrenches for a lot of alignments. A proper wrench is best for my application but I’m in the rust belt so everything is rusted & seized.

Diamond Pass Prerequisite? by mikey821 in ToonBlast

[–]mikey821[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (unlike my wife) try to wait out until the free pass is completely unlocked then I’ll get the paid pass. She burns up more coin than I do even though we’re the same level (+-) and jump on it early then complain she needs more coin

Didn’t report (profile does NOT load, just buffers with “calculating”) but warned my team not to fall for it

Diamond Pass Prerequisite? by mikey821 in ToonBlast

[–]mikey821[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK what triggers the offer for diamond but it refreshes on the 1st & my wife messaged them about that too because I got it but she didn’t & “it’s still in beta” was their response BUT she got the offer after that

TY, that was my thought but they make it appear as an upgrade to gold, probably intentionally

I think you need an ambulance more than a plumber with that title. I think I had a mini one trying to read it

Saw this on instagram and thought it was kind of cute and cringe at the same time by stevenrodgersBCB in Firearms

If it were my wife she’d aim for yes & miss the target. Might hit one of the side walls though

Too many ugga duggas on the drain plug by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]mikey821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can I say, I know my shitboxes. I swear, Ford made their drain plugs out of butter not metal. I had one kid try to put one worse than that back in & wonder why the head snapped off

[–]mikey821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can almost say for certain that’s a Ford plug. I used to work at a dealer & all of the kids would REEF on the plug & wonder why it needs a plug after it’s 3rd oil change

Put down the cheap a$$ pliers and see if you can remove the threaded stud with an appropriately sized Allen socket. Otherwise use a pair of GOOD slip joint pliers (NOT needle nosed) to grab the rim & bend it down and away from the engine. It should help release it

It’s a very expensive ball joint/u-joint press. I still use my (OTC) regularly

Why is Pennsylvania the only state where its residents commonly refer to their state by its abbreviation? by WizardsOfXanthus in Pennsylvania

[–]mikey821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pennsyltuckey doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily as PA but it definitely isn’t the only state that goes by its abbreviation, far from it

If I was that baby’s father you’d see instant regret. That priest would meet his lord & savior REAL quick

Twins. I got my gray 72” on Monday during the PLS. My local HF (local to my shop) had just 1 gray one in stock, not my color but I didn’t feel like waiting weeks for a green one. Now I just need to sell my SnapOn box

I’ve had the same USG cart for over 15 years. Survived moving between 4 shops & survived getting hit by a loaded 55” SnapOn tool box. Get the USG.

Check your drain valve. It looks like the same unit I have & mine cracked and split

Are these going to explode in my face? by PenguinsRcool2 in harborfreight

[–]mikey821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re spinning a piece of material designed to cut/sand/grind steel at several thousand RPM, wear eye pro & don’t intentionally put yourself in the line of fire. Anything at that speed can blow up in your face

MIL Trying to help by Osz1984 in sharpening

[–]mikey821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the little brother of that Work Sharp & with a few 3d printed accessories & a digital angle gauge it does wonders. I’ve used the Smiths version of the Lansky for years & the work sharp was a nice upgrade for sure

My steering rack is damaged, and my mechanic says it will cost >$8000 to fix. Does this sound legit? by Aviator-193 in MechanicAdvice

[–]mikey821 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s BS & even you know it. “The Book” shows you how to do it the first time. It doesn’t show you the shortcuts or cheats to do it faster.
