who read eZine Issue 289 had more tips to share about the
craft-your-own crevice tool in the Tricks of the Trade section. -

"Just
a comment on the crevice tool in the Tricks of the Trade section.
Assuming a 1.5" original hose and reducing that to .5"
would put 9 times more load on the vacuum motor just based off the
flow restriction, and not counting that smaller ID inherently would
have even more restriction because of greater friction on the tube
walls. A vent should be incorporated somewhere upstream to reduce the
motor load but maintain proper airflow. Airflow is more important
than vacuum when considering cleaning ability." - Larry

And,
if you missed it in the comments from last issue's WebSurfer's
Review, there were also a few more hints about how to go about
cleaning up hand tools. - Editor
"I
usually go for the "old-fashioned" Naval Jelly." -

"I
use Goop® to clean my rusty tools." - Vfreeck
"Try
[Boeshield] T-9®: two parts, a rust 'remover' and a rust
'preventer.'" - Hoosier2
