    I have one of those work benches, they are slightly more stable with the jaws shut. Another nice video.

    It’s convenient to fold away in the barn. Thank you

    I saw a KZread video that recommended a great peneteating concoction: acetone and automatic transmission fluid combined in a 50/50 mixture. I tried it, and it works beautifully to free up rusted bolts. I use a small (4 oz.) Oil can with a pump to apply it.

    That sounds like a great tip, does the acetone effect the paintwork?

    @@themustardmidget I don't know. I have not let it touch a painted area. I suspect it would dissolve the paint.

    Would be wise to change the rubber o-ring inside the valve while you are in there. 👍🏻

    Great point! I didn’t dismantle but that is probably good to do

    Yes, I have got to also keep moving it on a regular basic too.

    @@themustardmidget I think mine is stiff as it doesn't get opened and closed. A well timed video from you. I will manipulate the valve today.
