Sears, I'll miss the tools

[Steve Barker]

yeah, there's a scene in AIRPLANE showing how to deal with them also.

LMMFAO!! a torque wrench on a drain plug!! oooooooo kayy.

[dcaster]

I trust you took those tools back to Sears. How did they treat you?

I've had experiences (shock absorbers on the back of a Chevrolet) where impact gun removed the nut, and breaker bar sheared off the stud. As to the oil drain plug, impact wrench might have been the correct tool.

amazing that you didn't tear the threads out of the pan instead of breaking a socket. SOMEbody shoulda been using a torque wrench on that plug. Probably needed a new crush washer too,so it would not need to be tightened so tight to prevent leaking.

[Steve B]

I just put mine in until it contacts the threads. Then another half turn to be sure. Then 12-18 thuds with a 3/8" air impact set at 90 psi just to be sure. And one last twist with a breaker bar to see if it will move any more at all.

So far, so good.

We did this all to ourselves...we accepted crap (most of us) and now that's all we have...crap!

How many of us borrowed a pair of "lock-jaw" pliers (non-Peterson) and have a blood blister from its use to show for it?

Prolly a spell-checking error. My spell checker would turn you into "Duffer" if I clicked the wrong choice. You get bonus points for a) reading the article and b) finding the mistake. I'm feeling pretty wizened up these days myself. (-:

Here you go:

World English Dictionary cult (kʌlt) [Click for IPA pronunciation guide] ? n

1. a specific system of religious worship, esp with reference to its rites and deity
2. a sect devoted to such a system
3. a quasi-religious organization using devious psychological techniques to gain and control adherents

[Pete C.]

Cult and religion are synonymous. All cults are religions and all religions are cults.

Well, we wouldn't want it coming loose, now would we? I have seen just as many put in finger tight by minimum wage lackeys.

Because of my overall warped mind, I thought for a moment the guy may have done it on purpose. ^_^

FWIW, here's why they really vanished from airports:

I must have been out of the country when that decision came down. I don't remember it all but even as a free speech advocate, I can't say I am sorry. They were really pains in the ass.

I was once snowed in at Univ of Buffalo. I wasn't a student, jes someone trying to get back to CA and knew the UB student union bldg had a ride board and figured I could snag riders to help with gas costs. While camped in my car in the UB parking lot during the worst blizzard in yrs, and having little money, the campus HKs fed me. They asked for no money and didn't preach to me. Jes offered to feed me for free. The macrobiotic food pretty much sucked, but it was free and filling. HKs are OK in my book.

Irrelevant. The tools aren't the same as they were.

Actually, Costco has severely amended their warranty/return policy on electronics like computers and tv's, as customers were gaming the system to get free new models every few months.
