Great idea. How many of us have washed a brand new tool to "get the greasy gunk off" before storing it? Nerver realised the gunk was to prevent rusting!!Ishabaka said:One more example - at first I thought this was insane - he tells you to take out the manufacturers tool kit and wipe the tools down with WD-40 and the plastic kit with Armor-All. I thought "You gotta be kidding" but then he said factory tool kits are rarely needed, but when you need one you probably REALLY need it - don't want to pull out a case full of rusted - together tools.
Am I missing something??? What's this in response to? Kind of neat to know, but it seems to have come out of left field...Ishabaka said:Plastic welding has been around for 10-15 years now and is finally available cheap. It's like stick welding steel - you have a welding gun which blows hot air - you need an air compressor but because it only needs 1-2 psi you can use a little portable 12 volt tire inflator - you don't need a big honkin shop compressor. You heat the plastic part that is broken and melt a rod of the same plastic where you want to fix a crack or build up an area that has been broken off...
