I use earplugs under those annoying little square nuts on motorcycle batteries. Squish it in the there under the nut and the nut is held in place forever !!
I fucking love this! Lol. Keep it going! I love that we skip the bull and get right to the meat and potatoes. Love your catch phrase too. I'm down with it.
Chopping up a few dollar store pool noodles will do the same thing. And you don't have to buy overpriced recycled rubber & plastic ear protection. Funny thing though.... these companies/corporations get free recycled plastics and rubber... yet they raise prices every 6 months... hmmmm pulling a Nestle in California water trick I guess
Seems like a waste of* time and earplugs honestly. Just paint, then tap them. It'll create a cleaner line around the port than what the plugs will give you, and tapping will clean the threads flawlessly. Especially working on motors where most threads need to be tapped anyway 🤷♂️
Lol, on every job site that I went on that had boxes of those earplugs rather than the cheap ones, I would always grab a small handfull if the box wasn't getting low, just in case I got stuck on a jobsite that didn’t have them.
