The Watering Hole

SKB rack connectors fucking suck!!!!  >:(

Who the hell thought that adding some multi-part, no... make that multi-flimsy-fucking-part connectors instead of just tapping holes was a good idea??! :-?

I've got two 12-space SKB racks, but I avoid using them except for storage.  My current scheme required one though and it took me over 90(!) minutes to get everything into it that I wanted!

Usually I just put something in and tighten the screws by carefully using my impact driver (that's a type of automated screwdriver Hooky ;) ) then I back the screw off a 1/4 turn with a small screwdriver (so the screw and washer don't weld themselves in - had that happen once many years ago, never again!).  I can put together a rack in just a few minutes that way - USUALLY.

These SKB racks practically require more finesse than a woman to get each screw in.  I ended up terminally tweaking four of their stupid connectors along the way.

Fucking useless!

I'm so glad my other racks are no hassle at all (Road Ready and Grundorf).

There.  I feel better now.  ::)

That's good. Cause that is much more important than finding a job. Maybe you can line said rack with cardboard and move it with you to your new shelter under the bridge.

I only got everything out of the way so my Mom and her stuff can move in.

Can you send me some cardboard anyway? :-?

I don't care who you are.....that shit was funny. :D

I got one SKB rack, sure it is a pain in the ass with those flimsy connectors, but the fukker was a bunch cheaper than the competition. And I don't use mine either.

Mark,

you're killing me. that was funny
