Retrofitting Foam Insulation on a Roof | Metric Wood Screws

As a variation, Nitto Seiko offers the Magtite CP. Nitto applies a polymer coating to the bottom half of the fastener that captures even the small amount of chips that might be created during the thread-forming process. This can be critical for electronics assembly applications, where even minute metal particles could cause a short circuit.

What’s happening with your ceiling is that the wood framing is moving somewhat in response to ambient outside humidity and is flexing and the drywall in those areas where the nails are popping can’t — hence the popping.

I did not grow up an electrical engineer, and when I meet them in my friends hacker space, I tend to giggle at their ideas of good tools, but I keep my mouth shut. I learned about good cheap nippers from them, so yeah, we all got stuff to learn from everyone, even those poor saps who think a straight bladed screwdriver should be called a flathead.

Not long ago, OOH was viewed only as a support medium; today, it has moved centre stage in media planning. Ahsan Sheikh examines this great switch.

That said, politically, 2018 doesn’t seem like a golden period of international standardization. Political leaders trumpeting promises of deregulation have proven of late to have serious sway with voters, especially in the Anglo-American world. Furthermore, calls for America to “go metric” have been ignored for hundreds of years. In 1906, purported telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell urged Congress to adopt the metric system: “Few people have any adequate conception of the amount of unnecessary labor involved in the use of our present weights and measures.” Congress demurred, and does to this day.

Marketing is about deciding which combination of tools is going to win over consumers and keep them riveted to the brand promise. Cherry Blossom remains focused on predicting the evolving needs of the consumer and then tailoring its strategy accordingly.

Consider the opposite dilemma: You want to install a U.S. solid-shaft knob on a metric solid-shaft pot—Tele dome knobs on an Epiphone Les Paul, for example. In this scenario, the hole in the knob is too big for the shaft. No worries: You can buy a brass sleeve developed for this specific purpose. Slide it onto the metric shaft and the U.S. knob will fit perfectly.

It may be the past; but it wasn’t that long ago. Karachi was the capital of a new country and boasted of streets that were washed every night. The city was peaceful, street crime was unheard of, life was gentle and the nightlife vibrant.

…and on it goes. In 1983, the legs are destroyed. In 1985, the town erects a 2 metre high metal fence, hires security and leaves soldiers from the local infantry regiment on guard. It lasts until January, then it burns down.

A chisel is a relatively simple, yet indispensable tool. They consist of a chunk of metal, usually with a wooden, plastic or rubber handle, that has a beveled cutting edge designed for cutting and shaping stone, wood or even metal. Chisels, like other tools, are ancient in origin and have stood the test of time.
