Ack! Bill the Cat's brain just went Thbbft!

I thought that I knew chucks, but I never realized the more subtle capabilities of this do-everything machine. I now am more enlightened about some of its less known functions such as inflating tires, polishing boats, building decks, clear cutting tropical rainforests, and more versatile than a NordicTrack.

Man that is so misworded it's hard to read. I remember one time opening a new film washer at work. The instructions said "makes to bubbly several directions". I'm still confused about that one.

Probably an auto translate function at that. But still hilarious.

Makes one wonder how our Chinese user manuals read to the average Chinese reader. :)

and I need to air up my chuck with winter air. :D A good scrubbing with prop wash wouldn't hurt it either. :p

Maybe I could take it into Jiffy Lube and get a 39 point inspection while getting the jaws rotated. :)
