forcebwithu Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Trying to find a plumber/handyman on short notice to fix the mess I just made of trying to replace the bum gun spray holder. The screws in the previously drilled holes had rusted and broken off, so I needed to drill new holes less than a cm next to the old ones. First one went fine, but the second one I drilled into the water pipe. I had about one second of an "oh fck" moment when I realized I was still holding the 220v hammer drill that was getting doused. Dropped the fcker post haste and jumped out the bathroom to dry floor. Unfortunately all my tools got a good soaking in the process and they're now drying out.

fygjam Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Just busted a nut. Summer is approaching where I am and along with blowflies, snakes, 40°C temperatures etc, it brings another threat. Bushfires. So time to cut down the winter undergrowth. I use a little ride on mower for this and while the use is probably not what MTD intended, it does the job. And so I was just having a peaceful slash when the blades hit a mound of sand or stump or something. The force pushes the blade tips upwards which puts a nice bow in the blade bar where it it bolts onto the drive spindle. Not a problem, it's happened before. I just flip the bar over when I'm changing the blades and the bow now points downwards until the next object is hit and the bow gets straightened out. Time to change the blades but the nut which holds the blade bar onto the drive spindle is not going to move. It's not going to move with the 400mm socket bar. It's not going to move with the 1 metre pipe attached to the 400mm socket bar. It's not going to move when sprayed with the super penetration lubricant, slipperier than a bar girl's pussy when she spots a nooby 2 week millionaire. This nut is well and truly wedged. I've always thought a rattle gun would make the job of changing blades easier, no need to try and jam the blade bar so I can undo the nut. Here's the perfect justification so down to the tool store to purchase the gruntiest Milwankee rattle gun I can find, more than 1800Nm of torque. Time to try it out. Jack up the mower, engage the rattle gun, press the trigger and a brief rattle then a whir and the nut spins off. And that gentlemen is how I busted a nut this morning. Did someone think this story was about something else? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, sorry, from your reply and your questions to Ken, I assumed you were looking to go. Obviously if you were you would have already updated your thread. My bad. I don't want to do and pay for quarantine, so am going to sit and wait for a few weeks to see how it all pans out. It looks like there will still be a compulsary stay in a hotel with tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
