Trying a new hot sauce today.
One of the castors on my office chair came apart yesterday and when I went out to buy a replacement I couldn't find one the right size. I guess my chair is so old that parts are no longer the standard size. I had to fix it by drilling out the castor and putting a bolt through it. To keep the nut from coming off the bolt I drilled through the bolt and nut and put a nail through them since I didn't have a cotter pin. I used the PowerLock to bend the nail so it wouldn't come out or cut my feet.
I have heard of Loctite. I have a bottle of blue Loctite here that I could have used. I just didn't think to use it. Besides, it gave me another project I could do with my PowerLock.

Because that's how I usually discover faulty castors
They're both Huntsmen. I wanted the combination of a saw, scissors, and a corkscrew because that's often what's missing from tool based MTs. Well, the saw may be redundant, but Victorinox makes such a good saw I didn't want to not have it. Now If I carry one of these as a companion piece when I'm carrying a tool based MT such as a Rebar or a Mr. Pinchy, I'm pretty well covered for all contingencies. I can do almost anything... Except... I can't hold a nut while turning a bolt. To do that I would need an SAK with pliers.Damn it! Now I have to go get an SAK with pliers.
