I swiped a spark plug boot off a plug wire, works great, & use your antisieze,,
& Now, onto a new shop tip,, I have ends of boxes filters came in taped to the wall, with a note telling me what it fits, Yesterday, literaly watching paint Not dry, I decided a New Tool was in order, so,a trip to HF for a heat gun,, & in it, there was a spreadsheet showing what gauge extension cord to use for different applications, say, 5 amps, 100 feet, then what gauge, or 12 amps 100 feet, fatter wire,,so, I cut that out (it was the only No Duuh info in the pamphlet) & taped it up.
I leave notes on things, like the pressure washer. Start that thing up w/o water running into the pump? Wreck the pump, so, I have duct tape & wrote "DonT Start Without Water" or some such on it,, THen, I put 2" clear packing tape over it to protect the writing. Ive put instructions on the Junction box on the compressor, which way to turn which screws to adjust Kick OUt & Kick In pressures, covered that w/ clear.
Got a small shop & lots of stuff? When it was being built, I had them put a 8x10 loft in, since Im short, the bottom of the supports are kinda low, but its something a guy Could add if the roof was high enough.
& I hang stuff up. I have a stick with a wire shaped like a fancy 7 & it allows my short self to hang things up outta the way. I bagged the heat gun up & labeled it & hung it HIGH, because Ive never had one, never HAD to have one & I doubt Ill ever try to use it again, And NO, IT didnt do what I needed. I hadda go down to storage & get the 50,000 BTU Jet Engine lookin heater & set it on a table aimed at the boards & even then it took a coupla hours of off & on, heat them up, let them cool, to get them dry enough to work with,
As for shaping a wire for lifting like that, think cantilever. IDK exactly why, years of messin with stuff, whatever, but I can see a shape in my head & know its gonna work, IDK if others share that, But, if youre needing a model, go to a department store & ask someone to show you a shirt thats hangin up high. They have a tool thats shaped right, IIRC, Dillards does,
