I broke the fuel trigger off my Makita string trimmer today. :Angry And the small engine shop in this metropolis that we live in didn't even know Makita made weed whackers let alone have parts for them. So in the spirit of "Red Green" and "Tim the toolman Taylor" I improvised until I can get a replacement trigger. Normally I wouldn't get caught with such a set up and I sure wouldn't post a picture of it but I couldn't resist showing this one. ![]() The locking pliers didn't lock anymore so I used the duct tape to hold them shut on the cable. :roflmao: Believe it or not this setup actually works good, I hold the pliers between the handle and my hand and with a little tension forward to accelerate it works like a charm. What bothers me is that this is a rig that my grandfather would have came up with and used instead of replacing the broken part, sure hope this ain't a sign of things to come for me. :BigGrin |

Neat Greg! It's amazing, what duct tape can fix, when you are in a hurry, or need it right then. |
