    Luis, We have a similar issue with another program. You might try to cut and paste with the old DOS commands. Highlight the text to cut and hit control C to cut and control V to paste. Just a thought.

    _____ OK – No specific guidelines.

    _____ OK – But only following a specific shop procedure (feel free to include your guidelines if you have them).

    _____ OK on some types of wheels, but not others.

    _____ OK on some makes of cars, but not others.

    _____ OK to partially tighten wheels, but final tightening must be by hand.

    __x___ Not OK to use at all when tightening wheels.

    We used torque sticks for 15 years and suddenly we started having problems with loose lug nuts. Even after having every technicians air wrench tested by the Snap On Tool Commercial Sales truck. We now require all wheels be torqued by hand and all day long you will hear “torque check bay ?” and a second tech rechecks! No loose lug nuts in the 3 years since we stopped using torque stickas!

    Has there been any further activity on a discussion group? I too would be willing to be involved.

    I will strongly agree with the HP. I am on my second HP 2015 LaserJet. The first one lasted 5 years and we are on year 3 on this unit. I could not tell you the number of pages per month but we print job tickets, invoices, statements and all office reports from 6 computers on this one printer. We have a cheap printer at each computer in the shop but with the problems getting the 100.00 printers to work the guys usually swith to the HP in the office.

    Tom,

    We are currently getting .75 per gallon but we are new with this recycler. They state that they will pay as much as 1.25 per gallon based on gallons generated per quarter. ,
