anybody remember that episode where the cap on Hanks can of wd40 was stuck so he sprayed it with another can of Wd-40 to get it unstuck ?

that new reboot of King of the Hill kinda sucks from the clips I've seen, but it was one of the best shows originally.
my dad and I always loved watching it together.

It's been years since I hit a hock shop.I buy tools weekly, but I am never looking for a particular brand. Most of my purchases these days are from my local Habitat store. I have made some killer hauls there. During summer weekly i hit a local open air flea mkt. Equally good luck there. CL is virtually dead, but I did score a 20 Ton press and I dont recall the tonnage of a HF porta pwr largest set they sell. Both purchases older but in like new condition, no visible wear on either item, $70 each. On marketplace now too. Made a couple good scores there at first, but not lately. Not a huge fan of marketplace. I don't like the platform as well as CL either. When I am looking for a particular brand or item, ebay is king. I am too old to think I will just encounter in the wild specific brands and items so I use ebay and aside from the shipping cost which kills many deals I very much like the convenience. Fortunately, lately I have been avoiding  ebay, way too addictive.

My stubby impact when into full auto mode and wouldn't release the trigger. After tearing it down and not really finding anything wrong. I looked up parts and only some parts are available for it. And stripping a bolt for the rotor housing I decided to just match up the o rings that I can and hope for the best.

Lemme think on this a bit.
