Oh. Never heard it twisted that way. I was referring back to an earlier post where I said, "It's who you know"

I finally bought that motorcycle lift I've been coveting.



Uncrated it yesterday. I had it propped up at one point to get the bottom of the crate out of the way, and as I turned to step away, it fell and got me right on the belt on my left hip. Like being hit by a baseball bat. Really grateful it actually hit my belt. If it had got me on top of the hip bone, I'd probably have needed assistance.



I had to drill holes to mount the wheel chock and eye loops for ratchet strap tie downs. After the first hole yielded a big mess of sharp metal shavings, I consulted my brain, and decided to use a magnetically charged washer to surround the hole.


It collected the shavings as they came off the bit.

Take it to the trash, remove the magnet, and then use it to collect the loose bits.
