Cheap Tricks

[midniteblues]

need to lube a cable?

drop it in your oil drain container for a good while. pull it out hang it up wipe it off and let it drip dry.

this works on those pesky seized e brake cables usually i clamp them in the vice and work'em for a while. this will also tell ya if they are any good.

heater cables,choke,speedo,ac.


hang a soapy spray bottle near your welder and use it to check for leaks when you change out your welding/torch tanks. also comes in handy for a small fire instead of dousing everything with a extingisher unless it is REALLY needed.


this one is gonna tell ya all i'm really a cheapo.
instead of tear offs in your blast cabinet window try some of that home window shrinky dink insulate plastic. i used it in a pinch and it held up for a lil' while.
