Dude worst feeling in my life was when I was pulling the valve cover off my Samurai and I heard a *ping* and my ratchet lost all tension. The knucklehead that owned it before me had torqued them way too tight and mushroomed out the bolt threads. The worst part is they were super tiny M6 bolts. I still have no idea how…

I get that part of it. But like, what’s the timing of it. Do you just go till you overpower the handbrake then release that or do you feel the clutch catch and slowly release the handbrake as the clutch engages?

Serious question. How exactly do you do the handbrake thing? I never even considered doing that I just had some dicey/revved moments for a little while until I got a really good feel for my catch point. I don’t even roll back anymore.

I was a combat engineer in the Marines and, morbid as it may be, if an area/vehicle had a high probability of containing explosives then the standing order was to clear the area of civilians and blow it in place before approaching on foot. I can’t speak for the procedures of this particular department, but I do have…

Anything with this on it.

These puns are tireing.

Oh the stories I could tell from working in a parts store in Alabama. No inspections whatsoever and people drive some absolute claptrap rolling garbage. I’ll argue a lot of the stereotypes regarding Alabama but busted heap-o-junk cars is one stereotype we absolutely deserve.

The 2015 International Lonestar parks it in the fast lane and dares you to say something.

Yup mine was a gift from my wife when I got back from a deployment. I would never drop that kind of money on one myself though, most likely. She got me the QD Scarab, I think it was like $600 or so at the time.

Mine goes back in by itself and the switch mechanism is independent. The springs stay at rest until you slide the switch and it’s got an internal safety so that if it encounters resistance on the way out it disengages from whatever propels it so it won’t skewer you if you open it on yourself or something. It was not…

Yeah I see what you mean. I guess what I really was trying to ask is if you had any info on the specifics of legal interpretation for those types of knives and precisely which loop they are holing.

I’m surprised nobody commented on how touchy the brakes are. Which leads me to my question, “Are the brakes super sensitive?” I was in the Marine Corps and ours had brakes that would put you through the windshield. Mainly because they had inboard rotors mounted to the axle shaft rather than the wheel hub. Is yours the…

What about Out the Front knives? What’s the technicality regarding those. Microtech is the main manufacturer that I can think of. I’ve owned and carried a QD Scarab for 8 years now and it was purchased locally at a popular sporting goods store here in Alabama and they still carry the full line of them. I also bought a…

Customer returned this caliper for a core the other day.

Chrono Trigger. Fight Gato for hours to gain enough silver points to cash in and buy the lode sword super early in the game.

I bought a Samurai 3 years ago and I’ve often wondered what exactly people did to make this thing tip over. I’ve intentionally taken some turns at higher than average speed and I’ve never felt a substantial enough shift to make me feel like the truck was starting to tip. Granted they beefed up the sway bar and…

Yup.

This guy is great and an insanely good editor but there's just something about Rube Goldberg machines that are well executed in real life that just left me wishing this video had never been done. Not knocking him or anything, it just kinda seems to defeat the entire purpose of a Rube Goldberg machine. They're fun to…

Took my 1995 GMC Safari to a local shop to have the main refrigerant hose replaced. Fast forward to a month or so later when I needed to top off the oil a bit and I am unable to locate a place to pour it in. They forgot to put my friggin oil filler tube back on.

Ohhhh I see, sorry haha.
