Repair/mechanic tricks and or tips?

I wear cowboy boots or similar all day.. usually from 6am till about midnight.. they tend to make my feet soft as well.

As a teenager in the 60's I bought a pair of water buffalo hide boots from Sears. Wore rubber boots for dairy chores & buffalo boots the rest of the day. The soles of my feet were dry & tough as the boots. Eventually had them resoled & ended up with wet soft feet? Have never owner anything as comfortable as those boots since. MikeD74T

Well, Mike, you should have insisted that the podiatrist who resoled your feet use OEM quality soles.

I don't wear anything but boots anymore.. good arch support.. and they feel great.

'regular' shoes actually make my feet hurt..

Old shower curtains ususlly have 3-4 magnets in the bottom of them that can be cut out and put in your tool box.

Fridge door magnets are indespensible. Just cut the plastic at one end and pull out the strip. Great for holding posters, instruction sheets pictures etc to the side of your shed or fridge. They are easy to get - Just wait for a local bulk rubbish collection and look for a fridge being thrown out.

Don't pass up the nice magnets in speakers and microwaves.

I got some out of a magnetic pump. They are used for chemicals. They are the stronges things I have ever seen.

Hard drive magnets are pretty strong too.

Hard drive magnets are pretty strong too.

And you will find out just how strong by getting your fingers caught between them!

They are definitely not toys for the kids!
