Actually, yes. It does a great job on the carpet removing stains from fruit, grass or dog mess. I suspect it might do quite well at cleaning up stained, old car upholstery. I have no interest in the

Basic web searching indicates that these fastener grades are dictated by the SAE and that the SAE Handbook (I found it for sale online for $475) would have those specs. Check local reference librarie

My only advice: DON'T buy the 6-ton HF press. I bought it, just got done with a wheel-bearing ordeal. The thing is too narrow to support the steering knuckle from my SAAB with the bearing properly ce

Does anyone have a torque multiplier they use when an elastic stop nut is used? In other words, if I'm supposed to torque a nut to 25 lb-ft but I'm using a nylock (aka elastic stop nut) instead, add

That's not what I was after. My thought was that some of the torque applied is ``used up'' overcoming the friction of the nylon against the threads as the fastener is tightened. (I.e. you cannot spin
