There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Aaarrrrrgh!!

Attached is a photo of the Carling tool which does two jobs. The U-shaped end removes the actuator, or rocker part of the switch.
The other end gets shoved down the narrow side of the switch, (you need 2 of these tools, one for each side). The switch or switch blank is then removed from the top. The tools work together to compress the catches which are holding the switch, or blank, in position. :f_spider:

Bob, I can get you the Hemo-stats for free if you want. Holly uses them all the time at the hospital. Once she open a kit at the hospital even if she don't use them she has to throw them out. Let me know if you need them. :thumbup: You wonder why hospital bills are so high ???
In my younger days they would make a great roach clip.:joke:

I looked up the term "hemo-stat". Ah, so that is what that thing is called.
Turns out I have been using one to grip and hold all those fiddly little things that turn up in my life needing attention. With the addition of a small vice they work together almost as efficiently as a third hand. I was given my hemo-stat by a long-lost chum decades ago. He serviced helicopter components and had access to a wide range of tools and accessories.
As a hobby at the time, together we built and sailed radio-controlled scale-model navy ships powered by miniature electric motors, on the pretext that we were doing it for the amusement of our two sons, but the truth is they were only rarely entrusted with the controller! Great fun for a couple of wannabe admirals! :thumbup:

After high School and college I found out that there was another use for hemostats. I also fly RC planes and run several 4WD RC cars and trucks and they are great as a third hand. But, where they really shine is for tying hooks onto fishing line. Clamp the hemostat on the hook and then run the line through the eyelet and tie off. The hemostat acts as a weight to hold the hook in place while you use your other two hands to tie your hook on right.

I'll borrow a quote: Necessity is the mother of invention.
My experience, for what it's worth, is that there is "another use" for almost everything, you just have to spot what it is and get to work. At home I have so much stuff hanging about that I may find a use for someday. A use my wife thinks I should put it to right away is dumping it in our municipal landfill site! :sour:
