Get quotes on a Permit, Concrete Slab, Utilities, Doors and windows for a Metal Building. Add them up and add 20% for Roofing, benches etc. You may find that there is room in your existing building.

Visit, explain that your health comes first and you do not want to be a burden to your wife. Transplanting plants in those temps is a losing proposition. Take MIL out to an Air Conditioned restaurant and have a cane ready for yourself. Grow some!

You likely reversed and forced the rear of the Bush Hog Upwards which bent the arm. It could also be that the missing bolt was a problem Replace the missing bolt and put lock-tite on other fasteners. You should be able to figure that out. Straighten it and carry on.

Brinley if they are still in business make an Excellent lawn sweeper. 3 rows of brushes.

You are extremely fortunate to escape death or injury from that mishap. Reflect on that often.

Wouldn't buy an EV today, tomorrow, or ever til the last drop of Crude is gone. Payout can be 11 years with limited travel, etc.

The unit has been designed for 3,000#. Frame, floor, axles, Tongue, brakes and hoist assembly. Make a couple extra trips or buy a larger capacity trailer. Short answer.

It's not the Space Shuttle! Good use for bike stand. Whatever works. Full of concrete, you won't be bothered by people wanting to borrow it!

Geeze, roll it on a couple 2x4's for parking it.

Sorry about your luck. Try a long patch 3" wide over the seam. TIG weld or skillful mig.

Wish I got -30° wiper fluid for that price! Usually 3-4$/gal. Lawn Rollers are also used to mash down the bumps that often occur during Spring. Use after heavy rain and mowing. Mine is Stainless Steel (old Chemical tank) and I used 4" square Oak blocks soaked in used oil as bearings for...

I remember a couple guys who would 'short dip' the oil and shove an empty can on the spout and 'add a quart'. Charge the customer for a quart. This was back when there were Real Service Stations. It's the people these days..............

Many larger tractors are available with Shuttle feature which gives you Reverse in whatever gear you are in. Very handy in certain circumstances.

Geeeeezzzzzzeee Louise! When you are too close to being out of fuel and it starts to die. Shut it off. Put sufficient fuel into the tank and loosen at least one INJECTOR line at the INJECTOR if it will not start. Pumps do not handle air so by loosening at least one line it allows the air to...

It is not the shape of the bale, but the moisture content. I recall in the 50's spreading salt in the mow of square bales that may have been too damp and possibly cause spontaneous combustion. One cure seemed to be pack the bales tighter to keep out Oxygen? Likely untrue.

A firm whack is using your favourite ball peen hammer and giving it a swing hard enough to bend a 3/8" bolt in a vise. A light tap is using any metal object and hitting with the heavy end if there is one.

DO NOT leave it beside the Wood Stove.

No Comment! (printable)

YOU are Enabling a taker, not a neighbour. Just say NO. Go and get your tiller NOW. The only tool I lend out belongs to my Cat. He always brings it back.

The Problem is NOT the threads but the Galvanic Action that takes place between the taper of the Steel Lug Nut and the Alloy Wheel. Some have used a carbide hole saw that neatly cuts off the SS Cap at the base of the Lug. Then use a tight fitting 6 point deep socket on the remaining steel lug...

In SW Ontario, for a new lawn around a new house, a couple inches of top soil over the property and make a line 20' from the house all around. Sod this area. It will take tons of topsoil so be prepared and a few hundred pounds of grass seed to complete the property. Spray remaining lawn for...

It is vitally important to drain the Receiver often. Not a pleasant thought of having this bomb explode as many have due to corrosion. Check on Google for live explosions. Sadly one cannot purchase replacement tanks even from Campbell Hausfield. An upright takes less room, CFM's are important...

You should have PLOWED it first. Tillers are not meant to be working up this type of area and soil other than small Plots.

A lot of car guys use laundry Drier Sheets inside to keep mice away. Moth Balls work if you can still buy them.

If it bogs the tractor down, raise it slightly!

I always keep the RPMs up and go down slowly. The Inertia from a faster spinning auger helps when you hit obstructions. Lots of Shear Pins.............

*R.T.F.M.*

Use softeners cut from old belting/tires etc

I doubt your tires are 100% filled. If they are, roll valve stem to top and loosen til air begins to come out. I believe that tire pressure is too high but try it lower unless you do a lot of paved road driving.

I suggest a Submerged Pump and 1-1/4" - I.D. - not O. D. minimum pipe run. 1-1/2" would be better. Tubing is measured on the O.D. Pipe is measured on the I.D. PEX fittings greatly reduce flow. Check your present pressure with a gauge. Pressure can usually be increased by adjusting the cut out...

NO. Stock Cutter or Bush Hog. You're welcome.

Get over it! It was originally called a Stock Cutter for chopping Corn Stalks prior to plowing in my area of Ontario.

The hydrotrans on my X320 JD failed to climb grades when hot. I had it replaced by dealer with new Drive Belt. $1,800 Cdn. I don't know what comes with the rebuild kit. Pistons and sleeves? Gotta adjust pedals to get a quicker Reverse.

The Gearbox mount area itself is still flat, that's important. Try using a sledge hammer with a block of wood on the deck to straighten the high side on the underside. Heat the entire area may possibly shrink it. Don't use water to cool it.

Farming and Logging are among the top Accident sites. Kids should NEVER be given tractor rides unless inside a cab and don't leave them alone in there!

Lock your stuff every time. Especially at the Gas Station. Your Insurance Company will ask.........

The outer tread on the left tire in the pic appears to have more wear. Perhaps not.

Incorrect Air Pressure, overloading and long exposure to direct Sun along with age are the biggest enemies of tires. Beware of off-shore brands when buying large lug tractor tires. Cheaper ones have fewer lugs and can cause road rumble. Count them. In Ontario Trailer tires must have For...

Air Pressure is the most important as it is obvious in the photo that the left one has been run with lower pressure. Overloading is another cause of failure. Sunlight is the next enemy to tires. In Ontario, trailer tires must be factory marked as TRAILER use only. Broken internal structure...

Install a drawbar or other 3PH item. I doubt arms will hit tires and it won't do any damage if they do graze them. There is usually control chains to limit side movement. RTFM people.

After loosening the berm with disc or whatever, off set a rear scraper blade or Box Scraper to pull the soil back onto the road. Dirt does non make a good road, Remove the other berm by whatever means economical and make a ditch on the low side if feasable. I just saw the pic. Do you need a...

Remember the 3 "F's". If it Flies, Floats or .......... Lease it. How often will you really need a Backhoe, Excavator, Mini anything? Cost efficient? No. Fun? Yes.

It is useless to add another drain device. Your trench, properly dug with stone above and below approved conduit and hazard tape laid on is sufficient. Most local codes require an Electrical Inspector to view the tape before backfill. Don't try to fool him! Being in Refinery and Chemical...

Have you checked coolant level? Overheating may have caused cracked head/block or head gasket problem. Check wiring and possibly replace coolant sensor. Good luck.

I think you already have or have access to enough equipment.

Go with your gut. Explain the situation clearly to your Friend and stay out of it completely. Give him the wiring diagram.

I would suggest 5-6' long 2x6 diagonals Bolted to all perimeter posts at the roof line. Nice job. Low end towards the West?

Perhaps it was the camera lens but that lower arm appeared to have a serious bend in it. Are you sure you didn't back into something or pull radially on it?

Your friend has a cracked block/head or blown head gasket that is allowing coolant to get in the oil.

Never lube the threads. They are not the problem.

The problem is not so much the threads but the corrosive bond of the lug nut cover (SS) to the Alloy wheel. If you can, buy a Deep Impact quality six sided socket 1/2mm larger than required size and use it on a 3/4" Air Impact gun like they use at Truck repair places. I put never~seize™ on the...

Put a couple of required sizes in the tool box and Do Not play with them. Knuckle breaker!

It is quite easy to install end caps. Get 1 made and drill holes so it can be mounted on either end. Consider getting 1' extensions made to suit as well. That old Ford blade is a prize. Longer that most which can eliminate having to shift it.

An old square toothed spike Harrow works well. I like the truck tire idea too, except when it is cleanup time. Perhaps leave them on the rims!

Find out what Thermostat you have. Some say blocking airflow through the rad allows salt to remain in rad fins and promote corrosion. I notice no difference with or without 'Winter Front' installed on my Denali. Thermostat controls warmup and operating temp.

RTFM for Fuel drains, filters, care etc., and everything else.

If you have the pull room, a single or double block will do it easier, without the expense of a winch.

Great Job! Put those cutoffs upstream at the abutments to help prevent scouring. Boulders too. The neatest serious farm bridge I have seen was the use of a scrap Flatbed 28' trailer with running gear removed. Put up large signs both sides. "CROSS AT OWN RISK"

The Add for that Land Pride indicates 2" capacity. A Bush Hog is not meant for clearing the forest. Tackle 3" diameter stuff at grade and you will soon bend blades and damage the Drive Line IMHO. Get a sidemount Sickle mower for grades around the pond or use RoundUp ™

Great buy. Glad you got most of the toys. Cab? Not shown in the pic. Anyone have a pic of Bucket Level Indicator? Just a long shaft like N. Holland?

I believe the machine you are looking for or should be is called a GRADALL. Usually mounted on a tandem 6x6 truckframe. It has wrist action for the bucket. I don't know if they are still made. It is the ultimate ditching machine unless you go the Euro route with a big flailing wheel.

Pass. Its a money pit.

In Ontario, farmers were suddenly denied purchase of Roundup, killex etc. Residential weed control fertilizers and sprays have been banned for years. Get stocked up before you have to use a battery powered weed killer! Make a good friend of a Lawn Maintenance person.

By now, any Hydraulic Lifter problems should have been fixed. There is more to life than MPG! Enjoy. Life is short.

The Open End should face EAST as prevailing winds are from the West. Build the door way at least 16" higher than your ROPS. Shelving along the sides, 8' x 2' wide Work Benches at either end but along the side. One at back one at front (open end) LOTS of Lighting and outlets. Consider 220V...

That was a well written and no doubt factual article about the Optma Batteries. Thanks.

Don't leave the shop without a pair of Vise~Grips and a roll of mechanics wire and of course gloves. If you have room, a can of spray paint to ward off bees and wasps. First Aid Kit somewhere under the hood.

Nicely done on the Casting.

Never lend your wife, tools or equipment other than the Tom Cat. He always brings the tool back!

There are heaters that are inserted in the lower rad hose that circulate the heated water. Many heaters are 1500 Watts and take a lot of electricity. Consult your manual and Dealer. 4 hours ON should serve for most situations.

Great advice above. I would add that you need to find a buddy who already has all this equipment. It is also important that your joint no matter Brazing or TIG must be clean. It must be done in a quiet atmosphere so breeze does not blow your Shielding (welding gas) away.

They cry WOLF to get more View$. 2 blasts of less than 4" when a foot was predicted. More adjectives that I thought could be applied! Monstrous, Bomb, cyclone, apocolypse, deadly, sever, life altering, BS. Just get in a few bags of Storm Chips and Beer.

Buy Ag. tires, Liquid Filled and if needed weight box. Don't over complicate.

You should ask your Dealer. I am surprized you asked those questions here and already have a Tractor ordered.

What they said!

There are a lot of choices. Rear mounted blowers are a pain to operate, especially without a cab. They do a great job as long as you know your terrain. Front blades only shove snow to the side unless you have an angle type to really move it over. Try to keep snowbanks Low on the Windward...

Operator Error.

The 3 sided Canopy makes Snowblowing very pleasant. I fashioned an old 12VDC battery drill to the chute shaft and with a DPDT switch rotate the chute with fingertips. Lawn Tractor battery also powers rotating blue light and rear red LED display. Because I can. 10 overnight in Ontario Canada...

In Ontario Canada at TSC (Peavy) stores you can buy packages of 'Shots" 5 per pack. Like a large fire cracker. Cover over most of the holes and put one in the hole First, then light it and cover quickly. It produces a deadly chemical reaction and the gas may be seen coming out other holes...

Does it kill them with concussion or just wreck their tunnels? Big Pressure tank, 120 PSI?

I would fill the area to the High Water line with 2 man stone then 3" rock. Put 2 long flatbed trailer decks on it end to end.

You might try heating the very end coil and rebending it. It's not a watch. Likely any farm Equipment Dealer would have a spring that is close enough. Good Luck.

Unlikely that there is Air in the System. RTFM! Read The ... Manual try again, then call the Dealer.

Save yourself time and money. It sounds like a project home for someone else or a teardown. Mold must be removed. You likely have asbestos tiles etc as well. A job for the pro's.

Forget the magnet. That will only do Ferrous material. Rent a tracked BobCat and a rake type bucket and Drag stuff to a central area using bucket near vertical. Set heavy/quantities aside Aluminium in one pile, steel in the other . Get it hauled and leave the tiny remaining bits to be...

I have several battery powered Makita Drills. Batteries cost more than a Drill. However, they never fail to drill 1-1/2 holes before they are dead.

Beautiful Bridge. I would put a Centre Support of Concrete Blocks or 6" capped steel pipe placed on heavy Patio stones or a big length of 8" Channel Iron. Old age sags!

Yikes, more than I ever wanted to know about Linseed Oil. It is so hard to grow Lins to get it. Thanks

It is very easy to run your battery down by using fans. electric seats etc. Be prudent and when the battery appears to be low, DO NOT even try to start it one more time. Take the cables out of your kit and ask someone to be prepared to boost you.

Assess your needs carefully. Do you really really need a Backhoe? They are very cumbersome when doing other work. Most are difficult to unhook and attach.

Size Matters.

When purchasing rear Lug Ag tires, COUNT the Lugs. Some brands have fewer lugs and you get a telescoped bumpy ride on hard surfaces. I believe they were made in Poland. There were 4 fewer Lugs than originals on 4.75 New Holland. Not worth saving a few hundred.

Search for Carriage Bolts. Rounded heads will wear down flat after a few acres.

It's a beauty. Lois would be proud.

Add a lot of weight, slow down, put blade parallel with rear axle, don't go fast. You must 'cut' the ripples and valleys off. Scarify if possible several times.

It had to have a gravity drain to the field or it would have never worked. Check on line to see how a septic system works. NEVER put anything other than human waste and toilet paper into a septic system. There are 2 chambers. Solids are broken down by bacteria in the first cell and liquid...

Show us Your Cage.

Save your consumables and time. Buy a new line. You will never get the oil film removed from the inside. Procedure is correct, job is wrong.

Vented Batteries produce Hydrogen when being charged/overcharged. Internal spark is highly unlikely. Be very careful when connecting/disconnecting charger. Always unplug it from AC first. Charge in a ventilated area. You were lucky.

Great setup on the Bobcat. I have never seen one.

Blame Global Warming like everyone else. Check out JDJ Trailers in Waterdown Ontario Canada. They ship to US I believe.

Open the Manway in the roof to help air flow. Use seasoned wood. Double up on the refreshments.

That is called "Barber Chair" in Forest Speak.

Keep lots of Shear Pins of the correct metallurgy in the Tractor tool box along with hammer and drift punch.

I see that you have the Mexican Speed Wrench handy.

Both ends of the Negative (Ground) cable are equally important. REMOVE both ends and provide a bright metal to metal contact. Grease them if you wish After tightening. Visually inspect ALL wiring - lighting included. You may have a severe short circuit to kill the battery that quickly.

Those bars should have NEVER broken in that way. Wrong metallurgy, chineeeeesium parts. Replace them with locally obtained flat bar.

I feel your pain. Check Battery Ground, both ends of cable.

Life Lesson here.

A strip of white paint or reflective tape at the optimum level is very helpful.

Getting a load of stone delivered is much cheaper than buying, licencing and maintaining another trailer. Dig up the potholes a bit so the new aggregate can knit in properly.

If you are talking about studs for the 2 empty holes, try removing the loose Stud and see if it fits. If it does take it to Kubota for a couple matches. There are internal and external thread gauges. If you are just plugging the holes, oil them and insert wine corks!

Perhaps you could form a shield to keep scum from quickly stealing your Cat.

You have so many that my method of a burlap bag soaked with gasoline inserted in one hole and some time later (15 min) a flaming burlap bag shoved in a known connecting hole. There are Hot Shot flares that force Moles right out of their holes. The concussion would kill ground hogs. Get some...

If I need to drill 1-1/2 holes, I always grab my battery powered drill. Never enough for 2 holes it seems.

I have one similar size that I was told was Cub Cadet. Sandblast or sand the entire thing and repaint it. They don't make them that sturdy anymore. Keep it.

Buy a Spare Battery. Eliminate all the connectors etc. You will need a substantial Switch like a Solenoid. Perhaps a DPDT if you also have to power down.

Cover it back up and plant some flowers, ground cover like Periwinkle, and perhaps a structural feature like wishing well or Windmill.

Some Kubotas have indicators to tell you when sufficient Glow Plug time has elapsed. 10 sec seems short. Try 20-25 Secs with more than idle Throttle setting.

Horsepower is like Breast size said every Man.....

Very nicely done. Glad you used Grade 8 bolts.

I hope you checked the Fuel level............. Sounds like a safety switch module somewhere...

Obviously loaded too far forward. Tell the Operators first then stand by the trailer and see that they comply. What is the Gross weight with that load? Looks too much for your truck to me.

I would ONLY use Wheel Bearing Grease. It is fibrous and stays put longer I believe. I carry a complete Hub with lubricated bearings with me and mount the spare to it on a spindle welded to trailer frame. One Nut for tire/wheel/hub change.

When in the seat the Oil Level plug is behind your left foot. 7/16" square head Plug. There is a large cap on top Right of the Diff that you open to fill/add.

The Towing Capacity is likely on a sticker on the drivers door Pillar. Instead of guessing, get the equipment weighed or contact the Dealer.

Toss in a few gallons of Diesel and let it burn . When it goes out, fill with boulders then concrete It is likely an old Well.

Cultipackers or Crowfoot Packers are used to bust up lumps of Clay/clay loam after plowing. They leave a nice planting finish to the soil.

"Return unopened" Gimme a break!!!

A very capable machine. Geometry is right on. Operator needs more practice.

These days they don't even teach kids how to write. If you have a mechanical aptitude and willing relatives and neighbours and are lucky enough to get to work at a real Garage, you pick it up. I can still clean up a windshield in record time with no streaks! I worked for gas money. The 409...

After using Penetrating oil for a couple days, Get the nut as hot as possible then drench with cold water. That often busts loose the corrosion interface. You could also use a Nut splitter or simply hacksaw down the centre of the bolt and through the nut.

Tell SIL to go out and adjust the valves as required. Done.

Farming is one of the topmost dangerous jobs.

Don't lend your Equipment or Girlfriend to your Buddy. Well done on the repair.

You have a built-in Inclinometer. It is your Brain. If you feel unsafe you are in the wrong place. A gadget on the dash won't stop the roll. Neither will the stabilizers. Go up and down the incline, not crosswise.

Unless you are loaded or towing most of the time, the 4:10 rear end gearing is a very thirsty one. 3:56 is much more practical.

Tighten as tight as you can get it with a cheater bar then give it another 1/2 turn.

Many Shear Pins are broken due to operator error. First mistake is using Bush Hog in Reverse, Second is cutting too low. Broken pins damaged housings, destroyed rear wheel mounts. Keep your hand on the raise lever, and move Forward wherever possible. The front of the unit will warn you of...

No. NO. Being raw rubber or nearly so, it needs to be protected by wrapping poly tape over it.

That bridge will outlast you and anyone you know. Leave the ends as is. They will be the first to rot. Nicely done Sir.

When you finally pick the tractor you want, go one size bigger. Get all the attachments. Wide stance and ballast and wheel weights. Did I mention KEEP OFF THE SLOPES?

If you have any rocks in the soil those flails and rotary cutters can cause sparks! Nuff said.

It's not the Space Shuttle. Cut it your way. Straight is good so are phonographic spirals but the corners take a lot of time. Do them first.

Nice paint booth. That looks small for a 4020, especially the steering wheel. You will have a lot of hand painting to do on moving parts unless you were able to move them while painting.

I believe the part that threads internally to that has a nut that should be tightened against the part youi found. Check the opposite side. I call them Sway Bars if it is not the Centre Link. Tighten it too.

I would advise renting a 1/2 or 3/4" Mag Drill, or invest in a Plasma cutter.

Take it to a Dealer is the Best Option given the complexity of the part and minimal knowledge of the owner.

It is foolhardy to challenge Gravity. You may also starve the engine of oil on steep slopes. Steep being the operational word. If it looks sketchy, leave it.

likely would not fit as tightly. There is an inside radius on the bend.

Put FEL and any attachment on the Ground/Floor, lowest relaxed position so as to avoid injury with others playing with controls.

Buy or rent your own tiller.

The thinking behind Ground Up is that if children were playing with a table knife or similar metal band if they slide it down from the top, they will hit the ground, not live conductors. I wired a Bunkie this way but the owner was not pleased. I didn't change it.

Go to a 4x4 Driveline shop with your exact measurements. I am sure they could do it. Universals in Phase.

Very well thought out and erected. There are many ways to do this, you did good! I would bury the telephone pole cut offs upstream ahead of each bridge abutment.

Remove mower deck and get it sandblasted on both sides so you can check for other cracks in that area.. Ask a neighbouring farmer who does his weld repair work. Looks like some 1" x 1/8"t angle iron would fix it. Drill a 1/8" hole at each end of all cracks.

I suggest you replace the Radiator Pressure cap. Pressure in the system prevents coolant from boiling at 1 degree per 1 PSI. 10 lb pressure cap will allow coolant to go to 222° without boiling. Always use a correct thermostat.

I' love a 2009 (last year of production) GMC Envoy Denali, 5.3L 300 HP, 4x4. I should never have traded it in. Got better mileage than 2013 acadian 3.6 271 HP

I used one of the smaller 35 gal plastic barrels and put a 3PH drawbar through carefully cut holes about a foot from the bottom and filled it with concrete to 6" from the top. Measure carefully so you don't get the barrel too close to the tractor. A sturdy bar or chain with a big link at the...

Due to liability issues have this done by a licensed Electrician to Code.

ROUNDUP™

You are expecting Finishing Mower height from a Bush Hog. It should be 5-6" off level ground . Carry most of the weight with the 3PH. Tail Wheel off the ground most times.

Excellent Advice. It also depends on West or East TN.

My Great Uncle would harness up Molly and Mae and towing a wagon and Loader/Elevator behind it loaded the hay as it fell on the wagon. Then to the barn with a double spear fork. I had to drive a certain speed on the old redbelly Ford so when the load from the wagon hit the track there was...

Order in a 10 yard load of topsoil and cover it. Done.

That's the best advice to date. Sounds like those boulders exceed GVW on Trailer and Braking system. Tell the recipient to come and get them.

Backing Up and driving Down assures that you maintain Steering. Much better than backing down with a light frontend.

Yup. Put a tube in it.

Check your Weights carefully. GVW , Towing weight as per card on truck doorpost. Best to rent one if you can or you will be doing all your buddies trailering. Thats what happens!!!

If it sways that much your chains are not in the correct place and/or are too loose. Check support linkage on the Bush Hog in lowered position. Engine off.

Nothing to do with real or imagined HP increase!

The ball size is usually stamped on the Hitch Socket assy. I would think it is 2-5/16"

I believe it is a Clove Hitch that you are referring to.

It is a simple matter to bypass the PTO switch and Seat switch. Pull the switch out of the seat and tape down the plunger on JD's. Remove pto Reverse switch and connect the wires together or keep them apart. Its one or the other.

Even a new car comes with a few miles on it. PDI Pre Delivery Inspection etc. Just read the manual, do first oil change on time and don't worry about it.

Perfect. Doors both ends, and make sure you have lots of ventilation at the roof line. Condensation will rust everything Ferrous.

Scythes must be hard rubber or brass so as to be non-sparking

Agreed. A clutch has to be 'slipping' against the Flywheel and/or Pressure Plate. Sticking Throwout Bearing or bindind Linkage or Riding the Clutch.

These drivetrains are NOT made for pulling or overloading if it is the Hydrostatic type. Do NOT use it for scraping roads. It is meant for mowing lawn. Is it up to you to scrape and maintain the road?

Use plastic Barrels making sure bung gaskets are good. Leave an inch or so for expansion and bleed air out on a hot day. Use a screened funnel when transferring fuel. Depending on your area, there is Summer and Winter Grade fuel. See your Dealer.

Dear Piaffe: Get a small Angle Grinder with a coarse Flap Wheel. Raise the blade to maximum height and prop it in position with chunks of wood or Axle Jacks. Cement blocks can crumble. There is only a few inches at each end that needs to be sharpened and not knife sharp either. Leave a 1/16"...

These tanks must be replaced by law every 10 years. There is great difficulty with house insurance if you still have tanks stored inside. They rust from the inside out. You do NOT want that smell in your house!

The dealer is equally important.

There is a fine tooth rake that looks like a snow shovel in reverse. About 18" wide. Best is the gas powered hand held machine with rubber flaps that does a good job. County uses them. No tool known works for wife or kids.
