Can someone advise the uninformed (me!) how to use the flint starter?! I tried their web site but couldn't find any info. Thanks in advance!

you just squeeze the middle of the lighter. it rubs the sticker against the flint and makes a spark. i found mine to be very tight at first so you might need an extra person to hold the torch while you use both hands to light it.

Here it is October 2010 and you are getting a reply to your Compact Flash item of last July 30th. I have a CF input device plugged into a USB socket in the back of my iMac G5. I insert a CF card (from a camera) into the input device and . . . And that's my problem. What next? What App do I use to move/download data from the CF to the iMac? From what I read, everybody does it. I am the only dense person who has not figured how it's done. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Frank at frdavis1@cox.net

for the flint sparker...scraping the part of the knife on the flint stick will create the spark to start your fires...beware,,i did not recieve green sheath or cord wrap..mine was all black....

Hi Vicki I am so sorry but you were misinformed last year on how to activate your Chillow. I am looking at the responses and there is a lot of confusion in what they were telling you to do. I hope you were able to get your Original Chillow to work properly. If you have the Original Chillow made in the US you can go to www.soothsoft.com and you can download the correct instructions. Please contact Soothsoft if you have any questions.

It's 154 cm stainless steel. No coating needed. I use olive oil on it when I'm finished using it. It throws some serious sparks with a ferro rod so yes it will work with flint. Just remember that this is a tool and the better you treat, the longer it will last. I would only use flint of its all you have. I carry a C steel in my haversack to use for flint and i use my knife for ferro rods

I think there are some blogs out there as well as reviews that will answer your question better than I, its function is not related to what you can with a diagnostic tool, rather high powered troubleshooting of the basics ie why your starter isn't working

Can I use my bricks or does it only grind? Also, this is my first Espresso machine, I know almost nothing about them. Does it come with a good manual? Based on some reviews I read I feel I need to hold a doctorate to operate one. Tell me it aint so.

Barb, did it occur to you that the advice you conveyed was less valuable than the time you wasted in typing it? Probably not.Let me clarify my original question for the Barbs of this world. Would someone that has the cup that came with the unit kindly pour water in the cup up to the line, then pour that volume of water into a measuring cup and post the actual measurement? The best measurement Waring would give me over the phone was "fill up to the line" which, without the cup, is about as useful as advice from Barb.

It works perfect. Check battery. Is it clicking?Then make sure gas is on full and you just hold the starter dial by pushing it in and turn to the left counterclockwise. Push button makes sure you here clicks.

Pretty much like all lighters of this kind. Once it's filled with "lighter fluid"... (butane)... simply pull the red "trigger" and the sparker should ignite the butane!

Chris, a number of reviews (mine included) list suggested components. The beauty of an R/C kit is that *you* get to build and customize it to suit your needs. That said, I know that the Grasshopper is aimed for beginners and beginners don't always know everything they need. You might be best served by purchasing an XB (expert build) version of a Tamiya car. The Grasshopper XB is ASIN: B000FGBME2. It comes with all you need to run it. Other brands of R/C cars call these types of cars RTR or "ready to run". If you still want to build this car and do it as cheaply as possible I suggest the following items: Futuba Attack 2DR remote ASIN: B000ZMATRC Tenergy batteries (X2) and a charger ASIN: B001BKPAR6 Highly suggest that you get a sealed ball bearing kit ASIN: B00MOD2F68 While the Grasshopper is *supposed* to ship with an electronic speed control (ESC) some vendors are pulling the ESC to sell sepertely which IMHO is dishonest. If you don't get the ESC you're supposed to I suggest this one by Neewer. ASIN: B00CIPTPRY I've been using it with my Grasshopper and it works quite well. Contrary to what Miguel stated, the car does ship with a motor. It's a type 380 which is not as fast as the more standard type 540 but is great to learn on and provides much longer battery life per charge. If/when you outgrow the 380 you can simply buy a type 540 and 18t pinion gear and upgrade your 'hopper.

I just used mine last week and it started the first pull. It starts with the choke pulled all the way out. After it starts you push it in. I always start it with the water off on a quick connect fitting that has a shut off. You might check the spark plug and make sure the wire is connected securely.

I am glad I stumbled across this q & a section, as I was intending to purchase this for canning veggies. I am a first-time canner, but grew up around the process of "Water Bath Canning" as well as the use of a Pressure Canner. My question, if anyone can help, What is a good dependable safe Pressure Canner for a Beginner? I appreciate any suggestions I can get..., thank you in advance ~ Denise

We LOVE these tools...to the extent that we've also bought them for gifts. Easy on the hands. I think it depends on the tool whether or not you have to hold the button continuously. It is a safety issue. You don't want to accidentally start it, or too easily start it. Buy it. Try it. You could always send it back (you won't)...

Hello,Elaine my dear.You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did. I lived in Ms.when I gpt mine,and used it almost daily walking to my spot on this pretty creek. I called it Eden,it was so beautiful! (Got bit by a water moccosin there too-there are snakes in Eden)!Anyway,I about wore the tip out,so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a rubber Stryker tip for a crutch. (Cane size is too small). Then I filled it with Permatex Ultra-Blue gasket maker-waterproof-and let it set over night. Still have that same tip on it,three years later. Oh,the little deal that keeps it from sinking in? Leave it on.Hope this helps you,Elaine. Thanks for letting me help you.Steve Hello,Elaine my dear.You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did.
