Green crusties, sounds like a brief problem! They come with several owners manuels, (craftsman is a lowes thing) 3 manuals with each, 1 for the power more nos engine 208cc.1 for the unit drive train & 1 of warner wolf of dont do thats!

My Gravely dealer supplies synthetic oil in winterizing kit. It's all I've ever used./

Great analysis, thank you! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I have metal digital calipers that I paid $16 for on Amazon. They are decent enough & have a locking screw that not all cheap ones have.

If it don't have a oil pump then you need regular non detergent oil for dip engines

Hi Steve thanks for the upload and a most excellent subject - I don’t have a calliper and on rare occasions need one - for $12 this unit is an excellent option - cheers

Been using synthetic oil for many decades, never had engine problems, drive it like you stole it, keep the engine clean.

One difference I noticed with cheap digital calipers, is how often the battery would be dead when I needed to use it. The cheap ones I eventually started removing the battery after use. Had the same battery sitting in the drawer now for a few years and a lot of usage. My expensive one has almost no drain after it goes to sleep. I use the cheap ones a lot more because I'm not as afraid to damage them!

Many of those "other" videos have Little credibility (including the big names) ..... they were sent the tool for Free and No charge (keep it) for the tool! You purchased yours, so we will Listen.

Did a similar comparison test June 2024. I agree with you. Posts are always interesting and I never miss them. " I did this test of a cheap digital caliper that came from Temu. I ordered it to reach their minimum order amount -- $15.00. It was about $4.00. My main item was a $10 indoor/outdoor thermometer. The object measured is diameter of a hydraulic valve lifter from a Ford 351C motor. Micrometer Lufkin 1641V 0.8744 0.8744 inches Dial Caliper Craftsman, Japan, Model 9 40185 0.875 0.875 Cheap Temu Caliper 0.87 0.87 Interesting. Not bad " (I had a picture included on Facebook back then, but now it didn't copy.)

For the measurements I need around the shop $12 will do it!

Thank you

Non digital calipers are only 99 cents in the USA but maybe they’re a dollar in Canada thinking Canada doesn’t have pennies anymore and probably round up.They’re much harder to read for us older farts but what’s a little off when you’re saving some money. Have a good one Steve stay safe we don’t need walls or tariffs

Same situation. Thanks.

Looks like a winning Steve. I use the plastic calipers on 3d printing and my little laser table. Cheers

OK lets not dance around this topic. By it mesure your drill bits, thats perfect for the home gamer! In no way any journeyman/ tradsman would ever have any of those in his arsenal that he/she relies on to deliver quality work that provides a pay check! See you next time Steve✌

You wouldn't want to build the space shuttle with these but they are good for most everyday measurements around the shop. I've got a couple of dial vernier calipers and they will do most measurements. Just remember, Steve, If you are going to build a rocket to go to the moon, get a better one.

Great vid and congratulations on Justin’s departure, good things to come I hope.

Invest in laser. That will end the problem!

It happened when neighbors feed them. Never feed wildlife.

Not bad if you only need single digit resolution. Great job Steve and oh, Happy New Year to you and yours!

I have had good ones and inexpensive ones, My issue is they just quit working

I can afford 12 bucks. Why not is right. It's definitely a good deal. Thanks Steve.

Yeah, most inexpensive calipers do a good job for getting a 'close enough' measurement. The main problem with the cheap calipers, is they tend to run down the battery. So, as long as you remember to pull out the battery when you're not using it and keep a spare battery in the case, it's not a big deal.

I’d say that’s $12 well spent and the big digits helps old guys like me Steve 😂

Great video, Steve! I totally agree with your take on digital calipers. As a DIYer, I've found that the cheaper ones work perfectly for most of my projects. Sure, they might not have all the bells and whistles of the pricier models, but for basic measurements, they're more than enough. Thanks for breaking it down and showing the pros and cons of each option!

I would've painted the wire fence in bla⚫️ck, so it could appear to be invisible between each slat fence, then build the entire fence together, but otherwise, it looks amazinggggg... I'm doing the same procedure on my 3.5 in tall fence

The cheap one is good enough in my books too. That’s all I have in my toolbox and I always managed and will manage I’m sure……CHEERS

I don't even remember what brand my old digital caliper is. It's accurate enough for me!

Just got a new digital caliper from Amazon myself. Mine is made of metal and costs $18. Works for what I need it to do. Cheers, Steve, or should I say "Welcome to America"! LMAO!

As you 1st said accuracy depends on what you are doing. For the normal DIYer, the cheap one should work. Not for someone like Terry - txviking.

I'm a fan of BIG DIGITS.

Hi Steve Hope You Are Doing Good And At 0:13 Got A Good Laugh From That One Cheers 👍

I was skeptical. 2014 honda accord. Live on a mountain. Gravel rd. These things work

They actually work amazing if installed correctly. I would buy another pair if mine break. This is my 3rd year using them

These have bailed me out of having to walk many times

What kind of bearing is in that tool.! You can breathe on it and it will turn.!😮

The most wear on a engines lifetime is normally during break in process on new engine, that’s why you should change the oil after 500-700 miles, I’m talking about a engine that will be service regularly, obviously you don’t look after your engine then you will get wear, but a engine that’s been looked after will have most of its wear when it was new, so always change your first oil after 500-700 miles on a new engine, can be synthetic oil which is not a problem.

I like vids that show repairing or fixing instead of replacing. Anybody can replace, only a few can repair. Keep up the great work.

2017 Chevy pickup 250000 miles later and doing great with synthetic oil

Thanks for the video! I had never heard this before. Had 2 of my 3 floor jacks in my home shop acting up like that, they weren't leaking and confirmed they were full. Did this and both acting right again.

That's a well known fact. Nothing new. Amsoil does make a synthetic Break in oil with the correct friction qualities to allow rings to seat properly.

The Biggest problem with this, is HARDLY Anyone carries Regular oil anymore 😏

Oil from 50s and 60s was horrible.engines only lasted 30 k miles .modern oil is chemical engineered to make a engine last 200k or 500k .like Toyota million mile truck !!!!!

Do you think just a pvc cap would work instead of the round lid . It seems high enough that it wouldn't sheild rain really . Whats you're thoughts ?

I have a can that has both names on it! I would send a picture if it would let me. Makes you think 🤔

Are you from PEI by chance?

What if somebody can’t buy new anything?? Lol!! thanks for the vid man,,, reminded me of a generator years back that used oil from the get-go , and synthetic was the first oil put in it,

This is a pretty cool idea, I will be trying this.

I think you did a worthy experiment. I've used that type of heater for years and never had symptoms or problems.
