I have found that the length of extension cord makes a huge difference on starting. And I have a good cord, too. Everything nowadays comes with too short a cord (for safety!). Mike

I have seen the needle-nosed pliers with the "needles" bent 900, although I don't have one. But I do have a pair of forceps that are similar. They can even be locked closed. Originally got them to wo

Well, I guess the server doesn't understand my "<ALT> 248" for degrees, next time I'll just say 90 degrees. I have seen the needle-nosed pliers with the "needles" bent 900, although I don't have one.

I had a friend who years ago bought a car part from across the state. They shipped the part ok, but then sent a LETTER (no email those days), saying he owed another five cents. He ignored it, so they

Eric--Perhaps you and/or someone else could expand on supporting a car with it's suspension "drooping". This would be the same if it were up on jacks, right? I'm not advocating either/or, but interes

Tim--Thank you for a good explanation on "drooping". Makes sense (the rubber band analogy helped). Mike

That is a great solution, but I would be surprised if the city would do that in this era of lack of funds, etc. Worth a try, though. Several of my neighbors have the rubber "filler", and it seems to

I agree wholeheartedly. I know too many stories of people working under cars supported only by something like a bumper jack. A used lift might be just fine, but why take a chance. Life is not returna

I also am right-handed, but use the mouse with my left hand for the same reason. I taught myself to "ten-key" using the number pad, and after a short time, it is second nature. There is even a second
