Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / May 2009Freakin' (^(*%*&%* Harbor Freight!!!
I seems that everytime that I visit this retched place something goes wrong. I have the '56 Power Hawk in a storage unit and have been gradually been getting it back to life after the gas went bad. Today, I was going to adjust the valves but it has been so long since I've done this task, I forgot that you need allen wrenches for the task and of course I had none of these handy. Well, off to Harbo Freight as I've been lusting after a "T" handle set. Bought a combo SAE and Metric set at HF and got back to the storage unit and alas, only metric sizes (a double set) were in the box. Another freakin' Sunday wasted...

Look at those T wrenches with a bright light.. They are just a regular Allen wrench with a plastic T handle molded around the 'L'... The small ones work ok, but I broke one of the middle sized ones taking out an Allen screw. The T handle snapped and I got a regular Allen wrench sized hole punched in my palm...... Of course they exchanged the set without question..... My hand thought that was not enough...

Used these wrenches for years in the semiconductor biz without incident but *they* sure didn't come from Hobba Frate. At any rate, my valve adjusting task will be minimized since I got the right length push rods. But, IIRC... Ain'tcha the guy that was prone to injury(s)??? <GGG> JT (Other than Dave and the J-hook adventures!) |
