    Replacement Drill Chuck

    Need a replacement chuck for my Milwaukee 2504. I nicked it a few times not paying attention while "machining" a socket on a bench grinder, but the grip has always been sub par. I'm not opposed to a keyed chuck. I think I may actually prefer one. Just after better grip and decent runout.

    What would make used oil sticky?

    Weird phenomenon- been changing my own oil for 20 years. I changed the oil in the Trooper for the first time (used Maxlife 5W-30 and a Wix 51334) and the used oil was sticky. Was hard to wipe off of the funnel, the side of my oil jug, and the floor. The rag stuck and kinda drug instead of...

    Rental Review - '22 Camry SE

    I'll come clean. I was pleasantly surprised. The ride was compliant, the car was quiet, and it had adequate power. The 8 speed tuning was great, it held selected gears with the paddles, and the car handled 100mph on 35E with no drama. I'm not a fan of Toyota's infotainment or the general...

    My travel tools - updated!

    Packout plate screwed down with 1/4-20 screws and T nuts. I used a peice of MDF so the T-nuts would have something to bite into. I sealed it with some Valspar grip paint on the top and bottom. My two Packout boxes. All is hidden under the factory shade.
