Probably like the one I have. Stryo, wrapped in the same shit(DriveIT) they wrap the outside of new Taco Bells with. The first one last 17 years FFS.

That sounds fancy compared to mine. It’s just textured plastic, and appears to be similar to the plastic used to make food grade pallets. Mine is 25 years old this summer.
For all I know, it’s gone. I’ve only been on that side of the house twice this entire year.

My GC came out last night to quote me a 16'x6' concrete pad next to the garage.
So that's going in on Saturday. It'll be the site for a shed that holds my air compressor, lawn mower, and the kids' bicycles.

Cool. I'm making some concrete pavers for our side yard as a pandemic project. I wanted to confirm pricing.

How does it square up with what you figured?Cool. I'm making some concrete pavers for our side yard as a pandemic project. I wanted to confirm pricing.
This one's 6" thick re-bar reinforced, with expansion joints on either side (it's bordered by the house on one side, and a cobble path on the other). Gotta hold up to that big bastard of a compressor.

yeah, it includes site prep.
Not having it hauled away, because I need both the pea gravel for other spots and the dirt fill for more raised garden beds in the utility easement along the property line.

Ive got a captive shaft i have to rethread, M6x1.0 thats in a closed area, maybe 1.5 inches of clearance on all sides. Ya'll ever seen a die holder that would work in a small space like that? Perhaps something with an offset t-handle?

Look at a thread cleaning kit before you hit it with a die

thats really all it needs, got crossthreaded with an impact driver and the threads are moderately fucked up, but the original threading should be cleanable.

Honestly, you need a set of those anyways. I use them damn near constantly. Any time I tear something completely down I run the bolts through the nuts, and run the male cleaners through the bolt holes. Cleans everything out nicely so that it threads properly.
yeah, that seems like a real valuable set of gear to have around. Thats a good call man.

That was the first thing that I saw that illustrated what I was talking about. I've got a Craftsman set that is about 15 years old now. Only problem I have with them is when I put them down somewhere and forget to put them back in the case.
