The dryer handle broke.
For a second I thought it was a Boeing door…
They are backwards. Sorry, couldn’t not see it.
For: tons of shit
Not for: climbing
It says 150lbs, a climbing carabiner is rated for like 22kN which is about 5000lbs.
They also screw to lock so they can’t accidentally open up. I think I still have some around here somewhere, I used to climb trees for fun.
There are a number of different locking mechanisms but there’s plenty without extra locking protection. For example: https://www.rei.com/product/162856/black-diamond-hotforge-straight-gate-carabiner?sku=1628560001
The simplicity and genius made me laugh. Good on you, op!
Thank you! Glad it made someone laugh today. I was just so done with this dryer door, I thought, “can my old keychains fit these holes?” Yep! They did! I am so not buying a new dryer between paychecks. It’s going to be a few good paychecks before I can even think of buying one. We’re going to keep using it until it can’t be repaired in every respect.
Thank you, op, I should have said that in my other post. You are welcome, and also clever. Plus, I agree with using it until it’s plain unusable. Things are so. flipping. expensive! And it is truly a pleasure to call out genius, for once, instead of… You know, the opposite. The added bonus is, I may be able to remember this, if something breaks that can be remedied in like manner.
So, is there a community for redneck engineering?
