That's just how they look when they're in the folded position. Here's a closeup from a P1:

If that's the case, then it's the peroxide that did the work. Hot water will "set" blood stains, only cold water should be used, and is pretty effective when no other aids are at hand.

The first generation of BMW/Mahle's cartridge filter system used a long central bolt to secure a metal cap to the housing. One large O-ring for the cap, and one tiny one for the end of the bolt, and a crush washer at the top. That's it. No large sockets, or other special tool needed for the...

Yeah, no need to try to reinvent the wheel. All three make a quality filter, which are reasonably-priced, and readily available. If past practice is any guide, Mahle was one one who designed and made the filter housing, so it's not unreasonable to expect they know how to make a proper filter...

I bought the older version of this kit last year from DTO. For typical DIY duty, they've been fine, and use the standard Ridgid battery and charger. But it was in "blemeshed" condition, which carried the standard 3-year warranty, and could be registered for the LSA. Other Ridgid "blems" I've...

Anyone will be able to buy for that price this weekend, when the "parking lot" sale opens up beyond club members, to all comers. I bought the Pittsburgh a couple months ago for $100, during another sale. No complaints. Parts of the Daytona's frame may be beefier, like the rear wheel mounts...

Seeing the Sun sparks memories of using them for a Fortran class in college, at the computing center. (When PC ownership was not the norm, even for college students. But most did have floppies, to take their work there, as well as use the printers.) The Suns had large monitors for the time...

My anecdotal encounters with dealer folks who I got familiar, and friendly with, found them gravitate toward being service writers, including a tech who didn't want to wrench any more, and a parts guy. Can't say what the relative compensation is like, but to me, it's probably the toughest job...

Finally got around to busting this out of the box to set it up and…it's going back. Still cute, great in theory, and maybe even useful, but better in theory than in execution. Anyone who has used a real tool box with actual drawer slides will probably hate fighting with these drawers, which...

Was ordering a case for a digital probe tester I have, and ended up getting a couple extra ones for the Etenwolfs. The slim, molded EVA cases I ordered are commonly sold on Amazon as pencil cases, or cases for Apple Pencil, among other uses, but I got mine "direct" from Aliexpress for cheaper...

The one I've replaced was at 140k, with the cracks having encircled the bolt holes for one set of mounting points. And the replacement came about as the result of regular inspection, not due to any noticeable effects on the driveline. I always thought the pictures of the exploded ones with...

It's nice that they'll price match their online portal, but it's still a hassle that shouldn't be required, and worse when store personnel aren't even familiar with their own company matching policies (looking at you, big motor oil discount retailer fron Bentonville). If they're willing to sell...

I have one of these generic 12V electric pumps, which are sold under various seller brands. Ordered one from Aliexpress for a bit less. https://www.amazon.com/RANSOTO-Self-Priming-Extractor-Compatible-Motorcycles/dp/B0C4DM4ZG8 Used it a couple times. No issues with mine thus far, and it...

As evidenced by store sightings of pre-dated examples, those small round stickers that JCI likes to use shouldn't be interpreted as 1:1 representative of the manufacture date. While that's how JCI does it, I've seen dates on others which are part of more comprehensively detailed stickers which...

Where's the pizza?

TMO started its descent once Legere left. Not unlike what happened to SWA after Kelleher retired.

Amazon created their own monster by allowing the proliferation of "I got this free, but this is fair and impartial" reviews to take over their site for a couple years, then went cold turkey trying to stomp out the issue they made worse, if not created, themselves. The horse had already left the...

I order enough stuff from overseas to be a somewhat regular visitor to the USPS tracking page. Sometimes, the hamsters that power their servers go on their breaks, and the site…just doesn't work. Sometimes, it fails with a maintenance notice, but not always. Nothing to do with browser choice...

Home Despot can be known to arbitrarily cancel orders that have some hidden issue preventing easy fulfillment, and presumably take some extra effort to fulfill. I've also seen the discrepancy between shelf stock, and online stock at Target. An item be ordered for pickup, but isn't on the...

The old ones are more rigid, don't deform trying to conform to a less-than-perfect box, but can crack if overcompensating, instead of fixing the underlying issue. Overall, they're stronger, but cross the line and they'll crack. The new ones are more flexible, and have more margin in dealing...
