| Subject: | Fixing my prop protractor |
I've had my Warp drive prop protractor for 13 years and I've found it to be
a valuable tool so when I found the level vial empty of fluid I was a bit
bummed. Today is sub freezing, icy, and generally TV worthy but I'm even
tired of that so I decided to track down a replacement vial. Turns out that
it's a Stanley part but they're out of stock. Found the right size at
McMaster Carr for less than $3 but shipping would probably push it up to
$15. More searching and thoughts about levels in general and I decided to
check out the string level sitting in a tool box out in the hangar. It's a
Swanson part that can be had at Lowe's, Amazon, and Harbor Freight. The
vial popped right out of the plastic frame of the string level and right
into the prop protractor. Problem solved and I can pick up a new string
level the next time I'm in The Big Tool Store (legendary local store where
you can walk the aisles for hours).
