I had a belt break on the cloths drier a few weeks back. how many folks would have just bought a new one instead of buying an 8 dollar belt and taking 30min to put it on. Its the MALE Figures fault raising these kids and not teaching them critical thinking and how to fix things.
I'm gonna have to disagree. Just the other day I found a loose screw on one of my fishing reels. After using the only screwdriver I had with me. Not quite the right size. I boogered up the head of the screw. It took some explaing to get the wife to understand. Since the screw could not be torqued to the proper tightness due to the damaged head. And a oem screw was not available. We had obvious saftey issues with this piece of equipment. And sometimes the grandchildren use it. . :shock: ...the only responsible thing to do was to replace it with a brand new one......... :hat:
