They provide tools wtf? I have all my own **** except big ticket items. You all don't fight rust down there so you don't need big tools like I do up here. Torches and hammers and impacts and all manner of nasty loud destructive tools are needed for even a simple job like changing a hub bearing.

Haha! I think that's what my dad loves most about his new(er) shop that he's working for. His new employer works on a lot of newer vehicles, so they are LESS rusty... I agree though, his air hammer gets used a LOT!

Well somehow USPS thinks my air hammer will get from Alabama to Chicago and delivered in about 24 hours, meanwhile the chisels and springs are going to be delivered earlier than estimated. Lovely. At least I got my Chinese air swirly tornado cleaning gun a day late from the USPS shipping estimate, and it all smells like dog ****. The box, the plastic parts, the Styrofoam. Lovely.

That cleaning thing works very good.

DEEP CLEANING OF THE GUN!!!

DEEP CLEANING OF THE GUN!!!

It's funny how those cheap ass Chinese companies can't pay someone $5 to proof read packaging/instructions.

You'd think in this day and age it'd not be all that hard to find someone that's a native speaker of the language you're wanting to use that also speaks your language. Hypothetically let's say I was the marketing head of a company here and I wanted to do advertising for a product in multiple non English speaking countries, you'd bet your sweet ass I'd find native speakers that also knew English to help with doing it.

****, I'd think even Google translate would do a better job...

You ever translate something from english to chinese then back to english again just for fun? it's pretty fun!


So I held the barrel of the gun today when I was blowing some WD40 out of the thing, trying to wash out the old semi solidified oil and greased so it'll go full speed. About 1/2 on the trigger, gun pointed upward so it'll cycle without a chisel, hand on the barrel holding it, it hits so ****ing hard and sharp I felt things in my hand hurt I dind't even know I had to hurt. Like sharp intense pains, almost like being electrocuted with line current. Now that this thing is cleaned up it's a monster and I can't wait to use it. I'm waiting on a reply to a vendor about a spring for the gun, I may need to measure the barrel. I want to take the trigger apart and install a spring on that so I have something besides air pressure to push against cause it feathers real nice about 1/2 way then the air pressure holding the trigger out just isn't enough to keep the trigger from sinking real fast and it's harder to control. I just don't know if a spring is going to bind before it hits full open, but I'll be able to tell when I take it apart how open is fully open. If it'll work with a spring great, if not I'll just have to be real easy on the trigger. The hammer inside is heckin big, you just let it slide to the end of the stroke and it's a solid hit without any air behind it. I'm pretty flabbergasted by this thing and I've not even used it yet. The ball joint forks I ordered came in for it today so I hope we get some heavy duty front end work to use it on soon once I get the spring for it.

Speaking of lost in translation I remembered something, nothing beats this:

At first I thought it was a joke, but nope they're a legit company from China.

Wow.

Bought a new straight die grinder.

I have a little one but my big one was showing it's age, it was cheap, Chinese, yellow, and I ported the heck out of it so it would go harder and it did but lately it's been slowing and not wanting to start sometimes and needing heavier oil to not sound like it's going to fly apart. I think the ball bearings have gone square finally, it was pretty rough from the get go. Time to retire and replace with something new, I like that it has the dial on it so I can set a max speed for lower speed work where I don't want sparks flying around or don't need the whole .75hp. Also holding a bare metal body with lots of air going through it gets REALLY stupid cold, so this should be nice.

Today I saw the Supra on all four wheels for the first time in months.
