    Stop dropping nuts & washers

    I've also used a wrap of duct tape sticky side out on the end of a finger or other object to hold a nut. If you fold the strip in half you get two sticky sides so it stays on your finger.

    Stop dropping nuts & washers

    I have one too and have used it a couple of times. Handy so long as the fastener is ferrous.

    Daily Shop Improvement

    I have the older version of that opener on my garage addition door. Its a high lift door to clear my car lift, so a conventional opener would not work. If I had to replace the opener on the other door I would not even consider a conventional opener and would use one of these on it too. The...

    You can just drive them on with a hammer and a punch or as mentioned a socket that is a close fit to the inner race. Just don't hammer on the outer race.

    wire crimp education

    I honestly would not expect to get great results with those insulated connectors no matter what crimpers you use. Those are the bargain basement of wiring terminals. That said, I do use them for some applications, but prefer to strip the insulation off and use a bit of heat shrink tubing instead...

    FREE Honda GX200 Engine - Less than 20 hrs of Use

    Thanks John for the little Honda engine. Should make a good learning tool. It looks like repair parts are scarce or obsolete for those engines so it will not likely be a runner ever again. Might toy with turning it into a cut-away model.
