One of my baby girlfriends sent me a picture of her daughters. I've
known her since she was a little girl and now she's 30 and has two
munchkins of her own. ^_^


Not yours?


No, not mine. When she was little I always asked her if she would marry
me when I grew up but she grew up to be a beautiful young woman who met
and married a handsome young man and they now have two little daughters.
The oldest is three and the youngest 7 months old. ^_^

I've been sniffing Xcelite (and similar) tools on and off for years, and I
always assumed the odor came from the handle, not the case.

It does. The ones without a case smell just as bad (just got a bunch
of screwdrivers at work last week).

Hmmm... I washed the tools and seperated the case from the tools for
a few days. I found that the odor came from the case, not the tools.
However, I did that maybe 15 years ago and only vaguely remember the
circumstances. I have some Xcelite nut drivers in a plastic case. If
they stink, I'll try the test again.

The screwdrivers have never been in a case and still smell of xcelite.
I also have a set of ~50YO Xcelite nutdrivers that still stink but
they are in a case. No white powder, though.

Heck, she's like family anyway. Her late father and me were friends and
we did a lot of contracting work together so now when she and her mom
need help with something, they call me. ^_^

My shop is in my basement, which has always seemed to be a very dry
floor. However, about 4% of my cords, my spare radio and tv knobs,
and the handles of my tools get a think layer of some sort of mold on
them. It's like a grey dust. (Or some other light color, I forget.)

I wasg them in the dishwasher and they come out clean, but once in the
basement again, after a few months, U notice that the same ones have
mold. And the rest never get mold.

I suppose I could just ignore this, since it doesn't spread, but I
wonder if any of you have ideas. No other part of my house is neat
or clean, but the shop is the most important place, and I'd like it to
be clean.

The plastic in some tool handles will break down over a period of
time. It is just bad quality plastic. Even some other wise good tools
have this problem.
If it only some tools and always the same ones, you just have to
replace the tools when the handles fall off.



Just use that dipping handle cover.
Here's one such product
http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip
I have different tool boxes for different uses, such as electrical,
plumbing, carpentry, car, bicycle, motorbike, general, etc.
I get it in different colors, to identify which tool box or
"application" tool kit they belong to. It has really cut down on tool
"evaporation". It also has made enforcement of tool replacement to it's
proper box far easier with other family members.




I wonder if this is an example of an actual good use for WD-40? Too many
people use it as a lubricant instead of what it was designed to be - a
tool protective coating...

Ask them why their plastic turns white and stinks after a few years.
