Be careful which product you buy. As with brake fluid, Foreign cars require different types.

When working on a job site,I sent the new construction lady that was in charge of purchasing building materials for a left hand board stretcher. She came back awhile later to verify.
Keeping in the construction theme, I once sent a new hire for a box of nails (I was with some carpenters on the top of the site. Out of breath from humping them up 3 gang ladders, the foreman says "Wrong ones, they're left handers, head's on the wrong end. Before the guy died right there I says: "Naw, we'll just use them on the other side of the building." Great fun, I miss it. Joe

An absolute necessity for the "measure once, cut twice" carpenter. Joe

"An absolute necessity for the "measure once, cut twice" carpenter." Hey, I cut it off twice and it's still too short.
From my high school days: "Your Johnson bar is dragging - you better pull over and stop right away!" Hollered while passing a little old lady driving quite nicely....

I don't know about "synthetics", but I do know that Inuit's eat a lot of seals. It's mostly blubber!

where I was employed we had a "beam stretcher". the new guy would be sent from one dept. to another. everyone he asked for the beam stretcher was at one time sent to look for the same thing. it was a well known machine but no one actually saw it or used it. one time someone actually asked one of the supervisors if he knew where it was, he (supervisor) was sent for the same thing when he was new. great fun.

I work a couple days a week in an auto parts store. I have actually had, on two occasions, people come in and ask if there was a grease or oil they could spray on their brakes to stop them from squealing when they stopped.
As tempting as it was to do evil, I explained the principals of friction to them.
The smarter customers know you are supposed to apply those little packets of brake lube to both sides of the new pads when you install them....

When I send a newbe to drop off a truck at our mechanic for the standard Oil, filter, lube, rotate I tell them to 'Make sure Ron puts summer air in the tires. He's always charging us for it, but never giving it to us".

I like telling my employees to go and get the wire stretcher or a left handed screwdriver.

Everyone buys it up here in Boston.
Then there were the great debates that raged in the '50s through the '70s about the best radiator coolant for Volkswagen Beetles.
Was it an improvement over "True Bearing Grease"?
Back in the 60s', I was sent to get a sky hook. Hey, no problem. Getting paid by the hour and get to meet new people. They stopped my foraging after a couple hours. Ha !

Being a retired left handed brick layer, I was in high demand when working on the wall, especially on inside corners.
When Guitar Center first opened here, I called and asked if they carried B sharp or C flat tuning forks.
I was on hold for a while.

Yes, we would send the "Newbies" out for prop wash, or 25' of flight line.
