@Piyke: Does that brake fluid tester also test battery charge level? |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 12:54pm On Aug 05, 2018 |

Piyke:its expenssive, I mean teh real stuff not those cheap £100 ones that can pull a log nut ahaha |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 12:57pm On Aug 05, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: Thanks boss. Any advantage of the claw over magnets? Weight limit or? |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 1:00pm On Aug 05, 2018 |
erico2k2: And for the real stuff, most times that 100 quid is just for the bare unit you still need to acquire charger and battery. Almost made a decision to get one recently but have deferred for now |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 1:00pm On Aug 05, 2018 |
connkg: Nope. |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Nobody: 1:02pm On Aug 05, 2018 |
Piyke: Some parts are non magnetic and also I've found that some parts fall into tight spots where the bigger magnetic head can't penetrate but the small claw head can get into. I have assorted number of these things. They are very handy and cheap. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: I see. Forgot the non magnetic side of things! |

Piyke:Please can you explain to me how it works? |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 6:52pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
connkg: You just dip the exposed end into the brake fluid reservoir and it has indicators that read the water content. At 3% (water content) you should plan to change the brake fluid. Greater than 4% means you should change as an emergency due to significant risk of brake failure 1 Like |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by connkg(m): 2:29am On Aug 07, 2018 |
Thank you, Piyke. Does that mean brake fluid degenerates into water? How does the water get in? |

Thanks, AutoElectNG. I didn't know brake fluid was hygroscopic. I now know. So, inside that plastic cup, rubber- covered, hydraulic can attract up to 4% moisture/ water in volume? Inside that engine temperature? Isn't it presently the farthest away from rushing air and even under the windshield air/ water drain? 4%? BTW, I don't have any device to plot long. and lat. to get your actual location... |
