Me neither. The thought of needing to borrow a tool doesn't compute.

That was a good first post, Dennis!

Thankfully, I don't think they're used for anything any more, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some turn up on old stuff.

The primary use for the T17 screws is trailer skin screws, also sometimes called tamperproof.

Don't try to ever re-use one of those stainless trim screws. They're very soft and the head can...

This made me think of a sign to have made to post in the shop:

In 1980 I lent out a concrete power trowel-haven't seen it since

I lent out a dump trailer. It came back when I went to get it,...

Or T17 TORX for some of the larger ones. Probably like these though, with T10's.

Never. …..

200k for me on the dually.
20k on my wife’s car.

Either one a 20 minute job for me.

I'll look at mine today, but I think mine is the 6-3/4" one rather than the 6-1/8".

They’re so easy to change and have to have the right cut out notches and bolt holes. Not worth the trouble unless someone made them specifically for it.

I'm guessing yours is not a diesel dually. I haven't looked at them lately, but not too long ago they were all around a hundred grand. New stereo is a good tip. It needs one anyway. That's about...

I thought it was most interesting that the performance of the Honda went down with premium, but got a hair better fuel mileage from it. I guess the computer makes no adjustment to take care of the...

Thanks Edward. That was a good read, and I feel like tells the most accurate story.

It's nice to keep the little electric one ready to go. Every time I finish cutting grass it only takes a minute to blast the mower off before putting it back in the house.

I have the gas one...

We have a local dirt race track and several stations that sell race gas. I saw some guys putting it into their stock Harleys one day. I knew the guys so asked them why they were buying race gas for...

I've had one to mount for several years, but it's not that high on the to-do list. Hard part is finding a place for the GPS whose screen would be used that it would stay in place securely. I...

I just wish my truck had a backup camera.

I resawed 10,000 lineal feet of Cypress not over 5” wide with the Woodmaster making shingles and the blade still cuts like it did to start with. Now granted, that was heart Cyress which is not very...

Bill, I wasn't trying to argue with you. I was just trying to add something to the conversation that a lot of people don't know.

I never felt comfortable running all the gas out of any 2-stroke. ...

I get off cuts from my local glass company for nothing, but I have done some business with them over the decades. They use some brand of polycarbonate that is different than regular plexiglass or...

Octane is just the ability to resist pre-ignition-necessary only for some combination of high compression and high rpm's. Tolulene was at one time the primary octane additive. It might still be. I...

The replacement OEM tires I put on mine are flat. They're the ones with a little tongue on the inside that fits in a groove on the wheels. I've never had any reason to run anything else on it. I...

I have one horror story to tell about contaminated fuel- diesel, not gas. About 20 years ago my Wife was showing a dog at a show in Richmond, about an hour and a half from where we live. The dogs...

Lot of useful information here. Maybe think about making this thread a sticky.

Those bits come long so you can cut them the exactly right length for whatever mortiser you have. If you rely solely on the chuck to hold the bit in place, it can easily be forced up into contact...
