Plumbing Q: Is a basin wrench just prank on the DIY impaired?
2012年3月3日 · I thought today would be a good day to replace the sprayer and hose attachment on my kitchen sink, so I bought the kit and a basin wrench, which the directions said I would need.

Why do extensions give you a false reading on your torque wrench ...

Why the lack of USB-C mouse's? - Straight Dope
2024年11月2日 · If they exist I can’t find them. I got a new Dell XPS laptop 2 months ago and all the ports are usb-c. I have to use an adapter in the usb-c port to plug in my old wireless receiver.

Problems with FlashForge 3D printer resgistration?

Why Do Metric Toolsets Skip Sizes? - Straight Dope
2004年10月18日 · Then the American car manufacturers decided to use metric hardware, and for some reason felt compelled to use 15 and 18 mm hex nuts and bolts (why follow the rest of the world ). Nowadays, the Asians tend to use 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, & 19 mm hexes. The Europeans tend to use 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 17, & 19, with the occasional 11 and 15.
SDMB mentioned in video about #5 Dorrance stainless steel hooks …
2024年12月16日 · Longtime members of this board will remember the story circulating in the early 2000s about the woman named Carole (probably an assumed name) who wanted to be a DBE (double below-elbow) amputee and wanted to wear Dorrance #5 stainless steel hooks. Whilst perusing YouTube earlier tonight, I found a video from Debunk File from about 6 months ago …
Bathroom sink gets repeatedly clogged. What to do?
2013年1月15日 · I have a bathroom sink that clogs occasionally. I generally fill up the basin with hot tap water and go to work with a small plunger. Make sure to block the overflow holes with a wet rag. 5 minutes of working hot water back and forth in the pipe gets the blockage cleared, and free draining for another couple of months.
