The Golden Age Of Tool Instruction Printed In China...

Some assembly required never made me smile.


Then there is this bit of wisdom using an electric drill to fasten pop rivets.

1.Small size and easy to carry, more efficient.
2.Lower noise.
3.A horde of rivets function, pull a good effect that it does not waste a rivet.
3.Can complete drilling, pulling rivets and screwing, as long as you have a drill.
4.Contrast with the traditional riveter:
1)Hand riveters is laborious and inefficient.
2)Traditional electric rivet gun is heavy, not portable, noisy and drop rivets. The internal structure is easily damaged.

Usage:
1.Hold the riveter body, drill reversed.
2.When you hear "da da da", the screws can be inserted into the nozzle.
Using the wrench to install the right size nozzle.
Using the wrong size will get stuck.

Apparently the Chinese aren't using proofreaders or at least not using good ones.


So then maybe the Chinese should bring in some Rabbis to proof-read their manuals. :B

I had friend that worked for Drill Tech, they made huge oil drilling rigs, they bought a new piece of equipment that he had to assemble. Problem the assembly and operation manuals both were written in Chinese. The manufacturer had to fly two engineers over to assemble the equipment (at their expense) seems no maual was available written in any other language.

My guess is a clutch that slips or releases at a preset torque, such as the ones in modern gas caps.

Yes but, not until you hear "da da da", whatever that means.

In '89 and still to today Kubota diesel engines on portable Lincoln welders have a sticker by the block coolant drain that reads

During cold weather drain coling water perfectly for preventing frozen.
OK we got it, The entire maintenance manual reads like that.
