What Would Lever Do

 

That's cuz I even went to the free dictionary to check the acronyms. <shrug>
Does Lever know something about wood? Does he think Elmer's could fix a collapsed deck? I, er, a friend has a collapsed deck and was wondering.

 

Galvanized lag bolts.

I assembled my deck with lag bolts and my deck stayed up for 20+ years.

Porch Priapism, bitchez.

 

You need tools........https://www-de.wera.de/en/

 

Your deck is shaped like a dick?

 

Just some of the posts.

And Balusters.

And hedges.

And statuary.

And seat bottoms.

Don't judge, Tito...

 

Tryin' not to...

 

Yes, it's called tubeless tire sealant, and is added to any tires run without tubes, presuming that one has tubeless-ready rims and tires.

 

You need a good source to buy your WERA tools?

I absolutely love my little set of sockets and bits. My go to for most minor car / bike / most everything not requiring the BFH option.

Mine is slightly different with a green handle ratchet, wobble extension, and quick change bit holder for the ratchet. I bought the driver handle in addition. The only set of tools I keep in the organizer it came with. The sockets lock onto their holders with a 1/8th turn. My Precious...

 

And a high volume fairly low pressure pump / air reservoir to boot. Mounting the tubeless tires can be a challenge with a hand pump. Replacement tubeless stems too. A quick 20 bucks is a quick 20 bucks. And it sounds like there's enough folks who need minor service... I'm willing to move to MT to start the service department.

 

How does this make any sense when the shipping costs are more than the item costs? I added a bunch of helmets into my cart and the shipping costs are outrageous. I don't get it.

 

Suppliers have various shipping fees. With HLC , they give you a percentage off .
In order to get the cost down, especially with heavy items like tubes , you have to offset it with high dollar small items .
Currently I have 20 tubes , 3 baby seats ,6 rear racks which all are high freight costs .
Small parts : grips, brake fluid and chain lube .
Total : just under $700 -- Shipping is $114.56 minus $54.15 discount = $54.15 shipping
If you have all day, you can play around with your cart to lower cost .
Computers , and such will help .

 

And not sure what helmets you are looking at but don't buy EVO, they're crap .
I used to sell Limar , but it's a PIA to get them. So I'm selling Kali , which you can get from Quality Bike Parts .

 

You can get them on Amazon

 

Haven't decided what my angle is... low cost emergency items or higher end products. Hard to justify the higher end stuff if I'm not full service.

 

So can anyone else . I base my prices off Amazon and still make a good profit .

 

It used to bother me paying for shipping . Always worked the system until I sat down with my accountant . It's all deductible : Inventory Expense

 

I bet that's a real rabbit hole.
