Bit excessive for a 10 cent washer replacement

Oh shit! There's a screw missing from the tape gun in work! I would have never thought of that. Let me go melt some pewter and fix it while it's still hot!

I had a small work shop in the Australian outback.

Or just ask the manufacturer for a new part lol

These videos get worse and worse.

Let's stop for a moment and think, there aren't many metals that melt at that low temp, tin or lead come to mind. One is not a great idea and the other is a very very bad idea.

Тем временем нормальные люди: сверлят в стальной заготовке отверстие, нарезают резьбу

Эта хрень провернётся при первом же использовании. Посадить в деревяшку на эпоксидку и то надёжней будет

Свинец слишком мягкий для таких изделий, чуть сильнее нажмёшь и прокрутиться

So um.... don't get me wrong it's a nice thought, but uhhhh, couldn't you just put a wing nut on it just like in the bottom instead of wasting 30 seconds of my life....

Полная хрень, использовать свинец для крепления... На соплях в разы прочнее будет!

I could see this for a “very temporary” repair tool you get a job done. Then do it right later. It’s all about finishing a project for a customer on time, if that means a little rigging, so be it.

Try welding a flange nut on a piece of all thread.

Call me crazy, but for something like this, you can just keep a few spares or, dare I say, go to the store if you need one

Idk what metal you're using but if you can melt it like that ... Its definitely a shitty metal to screw a metal bolt into, tighten it too much or put too much force on it and youll be having the threads removed

It’s crazy how many negative comments you get. I think you’re awesome!

What metal is it? Gallium or tin?

I don’t know if using puter as the metal base is a great idea. The low melting point and malleability of it makes this seem like a bad idea.

Свинец нихрена не полезен для организма человека. Покрутил гаечку и сразу руки мыть что-ли? Хотя б изолентой обмотал

I would have threaded the bolt through the opposite side to atleast not worry about pulling the nut out.
