2 pointsShortly after I bought my first VCR my cat proved she was not technology challenged. Recording required that two buttons be pressed simultaneously. I came home from work to find the the VCR recording something. She had managed to step on both buttons and recorded daytime soap operas all afternoon.

2 pointsIt's so you can still use a wrench side after using the other side as a hammer

2 pointsI was thinking that a 'smartwrench' app and attachment for a smartphone might be a good idea, unless the user doesn't take criticism well. (Made today with Photoshop and help from some AI apps.)

2 pointsIn all the years I owned VCRs, I never could get the scheduling function right. With streaming being the norm now, I still miss having my own copy of my favorite movies. I guess I'm just an oddball. I mean I'm oddball enough without that particular quirk, so there's that.

2 pointsI keep one in the drawer with my dual-purpose screwdriver.

1 pointLooks just like the late model bellcrank now. Great job !

1 pointI had the exact same issues as you described on a 416-8. It sat around for several years and last spring I used a thread from RS site to disassemble and clean the carb good. It now runs like a champ! I used to think I would get rid of it once I got it running, however it is now my go to unit for plowing snow in NW Ohio. Love the sound of a good running Onan.

1 pointI just buy them in bulk since I only have two tractors... The jungle or pick them them up at shows five for 10. If the tank has crud in it I'll use the bigger ones. Onans get a bigger one too. Always something in clear. Prolly more important to change them regular.

1 pointJanuary 17, 1984 Supreme Court rules (5-4) that private use of home VCRs to tape TV programs for later viewing does not violate federal copyright law.

1 pointThat tread design is still out there. I had a set of Dico (garbage) in that style. And yeah that design looks and works very well. Mine just didn't last long before getting cracks all over them. About 5 years, and they were always stored off the ground. Made no sense! I still use the rears with tubes installed, but wish they would have lasted longer.

1 pointTo my knowledge, no. What does matter is that you do not want the entrance of the wire going into the condenser pointing up. The wire acts like a wick when it rains; if the seal fails the condenser shorts out from the trapped water inside.

1 pointAll of the above comments, but I see it as an important labor-saving tool that lets you loosen or tighten two different bolts simultaneously. Get the job done in half the time and charge the full hourly rate.

1 pointMy Dad had one of those! Never saw the sense of it.

1 pointDuring the time I took a second shift job. Three necessary items to "survive" either a 2nd or 3rd shift job: A bedroom air conditioner. A VCR to tape network shows and watch them later. A telephone / answering machine located away from the bedroom. Been there, done that.

1 pointIt says Crescent but it’s clearly a Gibbous wrench

0 pointsIIt doesnt matter where they are as long as the case is grounded. Closest to the points is preferable but not a deal breaker. I never subscribed to that theory but with today's quality of them or lack of. Used to be they were just a couple of bucks and one could just change them out regular but now offshore, no quality and over 10 bucks ...

0 pointsI got 37 years and 2100 hours out of them so I guess I did good. They are cracked and dry rotted real bad. Time to give em up.
