Let's continue

Nice set.

Evidence of cultural difference.

Having these tools and having the initiative to use them is considered a sign of poverty in Nigeria. Handiwork is for poor people while portruding stomach is an evidence of good living. No wonder life expectancy is 50.

Kudos! Team DIY.

I'm a DIYer though.

I'm not a trained or licensed mechanic. Where I live, mechanic rates are $50-$75 per hour hence need to self medicate.

Nice thread, even though it's 3 good years old!

DIY is not encouraged as it should be in Nigeria, partly due to 'big-man' mentality. People should be able to paint the inside of their houses for instance.

Necessity, as they say Sir, is the mother of invention. No mechanical schooling of any sort. I'm an IT professional but I have always believed that we as human beings with our gift of opposable thumbs just need to apply ourselves sometimes.

So with books, tools and being attentive when more seasoned folks I have managed to learn quite a bit.[/Nobody]

where are sir?
just getting to know of this DIYfers on this forum and now you are no where to be found.

Good one.

To get accurate readings you need to critically follow the procedure.

I've had a friend rebuild an engine thinking it had low compression when it didn't

Very true
