  1. You should wear shock gloves when doing some of your tests if your hand is going numb If you aren't already. Repeated vibrations and long term use of power tools can cause nerve damage and impede fine motor control (shaking and unstable). Unfortunately I don't know if the products make much difference as they claim... test?

  3. I would say that last test was only useful in it's ability to test if the thread grip lasted longer than the paver. (which is still useful) Paver strength will vary substantially from piece to piece as it is a very imprecise manufacturing process, and undoubtedly has a high enough fault/defect rate to invalidate the differences in fracture force.

  4. Viscosity being equal, longevity and wear wise probably not. Aircraft engines are serviced more regularly and generally aren't built with as specific of tolerances as road vehicles. However, Heat tolerance should be far greater in the Jet oil... for obvious reasons. But let's see...

  5. Would you mind doing a follow up analyzing stability?

  6. Canadian tire has some solid sales on energizer. like $11 for a large pack. Not the cheapest but probably a better bang for your buck if you can get them on sale.

  7. So if it's going to need heat: Seafoam (it also works the best as a lubricant so it may be better to have sitting than WD40) If you need the absolute most rust penetration: Gibbs and if you need a lot or want to save a substantial ammount of money: Liquid Wrench

  8. With whatever remnants you have, could you please test on a cracked pan with hot oil mix?

  9. Compared to the others offered at the local hardware store I was very impressed with Diablo it was cheaper and better than the others available. Not having it explode and logevity was a nice change of pace. However, with this breakdown I will be examining other brands. Although, I suppose relative pricing can change place to place.

  10. Before I watch, From my experience the large plastic screw type seems to be the best (Price to ease to strength, wise). especially if you make a bit of a pilot hole.

  11. Man those combination ones are pretty solid! Expensive though. It makes sense that they would work well, they drill out their diameter of the drywall leaving the surrounding area more intact than the style with the large threads. Plus they have the anchor on top of that. If it is vertically aligned, it should maximise the performancebut I guess it makes little difference.

  12. It would need a thermal test and a corrosion test (both mixed and unmixed). From my own testing over a decade ago, I haven't seen corrosion from any modern anti-freeze/coolant, and stopped buying the expensive stuff. But more thorough testing would definitely be good. Especially if heat cycles or time alter the effectiveness or corrosiveness of the coolant.

  13. ​ @prevost8686  I had heard that. unfortunately almost non-existant is all it takes to cause a problem. GL-4 is becoming less and less common, even then, as far as I could find rating is unrelated to it's corrosiveness. ...then there's also the issue that Sulphur/sulphates (whatever it is) is not the only thing that can harm synchros. Most manufacturers give no indication as to yellow metal safety, and then, everything I have found is second or third hand information on forums (aside from me manually checking half-a-dozen brands' product data sheets), so who else could say which is or isn't ok? I am certainly not willing to bet a rebuild on it.

  14. The best one I found was Resolve.

  15. I already know the answer from mcm.

  16. I suspect separation would mainly occur with significant and repeated temperature changes. Is the garage fairly temperature stable?

  17. I watched someone else do this. I think they found patches were best. If I recall...

  18. Who is this hairless arm? and what did they do to their fingers?

  19. For these, the differences are so small I would have to say the Ryobi is the best buy here. ... unless their batteries have short lives.
