How can I hang my mountain bike from my garage ceiling with hooks?

Every time I try to install the hooks, they strip right out of the ceiling. I am trying to find some type of ceiling stud to screw into, but since I have to mount two hooks for each bike (I am trying to mount two bikes), I am unsure how to do this. Please let me know if you have experienced this and found a solution. I greatly appreciate the help.

How can I hang my mountain bike from my garage ceiling with hooks?
Well it sounds like you are putting the hooks into a drywall ceiling, am i right? if so there are multiple things to secure things in drywall at any hardware store, anchors and such. now depending on the thickness of the drywall, this also may not work, then you need to get yourself a stud finder, find either the floor joists or ceiling rafters, depending on what is above your garage, find them. Then get a 2x4 one should be more than enough, so you can cut it in half or to length of each outside edge of your joist and screw those 2 pieces how ever far apart into the joist. then put your hooks into the 2x4. hope i explained that enough that you get what I'm saying and that it helps.
Reply:You have to screw the hooks into the ceiling beams, not just the drywall. Get a stud finder and hang them correctly.
Reply:I've never tried that. But if you can't find the solution, why not asking a professional help. I don't think that will cost a lot.





Good luck with it!
Reply:If you don't have a studfinder, buy one. They are super handy and great when hanging heavy things on your wall too. They are money well spent and some of them now have a laser level included with them.


I tried to find studs in my garage by tapping and it really didn't work out too well. Good luck.
Reply:Its not hard, you are right you just have to find a stud. Typically they are 16 inches apart. If you can get up in the attic you can confirm this. Find one stud and you just measure from the others.





You can find a stud finder at HomeDepot type stores or Walmart. But as you have learned you have to find a stud. The devices are cheap and easy to use.

UPVC Windows - the plastic frame... how to screw in hooks? anything special needed?

can i use plugs or can i just screw in a screw. lolz.





or is there a better and safer way of screwing in hooks for the net curtains on the PVC window frames?





please help!

UPVC Windows - the plastic frame... how to screw in hooks? anything special needed?
No problem, simply drill the smallest hole needed (1mm) as you are only drilling through 3mm thick PVC into the hollow frame, then screw in the hooks for your net wire or rod. You can buy 'stick on' hooks for net rods, but in hot weather the glue can become soft and they fall off quite regularly. So screwing in hooks are better and permanent.
Reply:the way I did it was to make a small hole with a nail, then screw the hooks in, they hold ok, or you can get stick on one's
Reply:DO NOT drill or screw into a vinyl window!!!! Any screws or fasteners that penetrate the vinyl will eventually work loose or break out if bearing any weight. You also stand the chance of damaging the mechanisims that aid in raising the sashs. Might I suggest attaching the curtains to the opening. You`ll probably find this a much more solid and stable base for attachment.
Reply:One way of fixing nets without damaging the frame is to use velcro. Stick self adhesive velcro tape to the frame and sew velcro tape to the nets. If you don't want to use tape, you can buy squares, dots and other shapes.
Reply:you can get plastic hooks which you simply just stick on your window frame.it's better than drilling holes into the plastic frames.
Reply:No its fine to just screw straight in.The only down side is that you will leave permanant holes that will need filling if you choose to get rid of the net curtains.
Reply:Just screw them straight into the frame, The frame is hollow theres no need for a wrawl plug, I would advise using adhesive hooks though.
Reply:I normally make a 1/16th pilot hole in the frame with a drill, then screw the hooks straight in. The frames are sometimes pvc-skinned steel. :)

Looking for a 55gal portable filtration unit forswimming pool. Hooks up to 150gpm pump, 2" suction and dischge

This filter uses regular pool cleaning 2" hoses and hooks up to the pole and vacuum head. You use a gas or electric pump along with this 55 gal drum looking thing. The one I have seen before (can't remember where for the life of me) is a bright blue and was probably made out of heavy plastic. It will have a 2" suction inlet in front and a 2" discharge outlet in the back. Will also have some type of filtering system inside, maybe using cartridges. I'll be grateful for any help I can get.

Looking for a 55gal portable filtration unit forswimming pool. Hooks up to 150gpm pump, 2" suction and dischge
I think the type of filter you are looking for is silica sand. Portable will be a bit tough. I have seen portable ones overseas but not in USA. My best advice is to build the portable one yourself or contact a pool supply company. A
Reply:Try contacting StaRite Industries. They have a cartridge filter that fits your description. Don't remember it being blue, though.

What's the best glue to stick plastic hooks to ceramic tiles.?

The tiles have a slightly raised pattern so they are not smooth. The self-adhesive hooks I've tried won't work and neither will superglue.

What's the best glue to stick plastic hooks to ceramic tiles.?
I agree with the silicone. make sure the tile is clean before applying. I like to use denatured alcohol as it cleans and dries quickly. Tape the hooks to the wall while the silicone cures. This insures a good bond and will keep them in place while the silicone drys. Clean up any squish out while it is wet.

Aren't those tasers that they shoot at you with thise hooks inhumane and should not be allowed?

not normal tasers, those i don't love but fine.





you know those tasers but they shoot at you with hooks with wires attached to them. it literally hooks into your body and now the user gets to shock the guy at will with electricity.





this seems so wrong. i can't believe that it was even allowed in the first place. what do you think?

Aren't those tasers that they shoot at you with thise hooks inhumane and should not be allowed?
The "hooks" are a quarter of an inch long and straight. They barely go into the skin. The barbs are needed because they are connected to wires that lead back to the Taser. The wire conducts the electrical shock from the Taser to the target's body. The wire is 16 to 21 feet long (depending on which cartridge you carry) and make it possible to use the Taser to subdue a suspect from a safe distance. Without the barbs and the wire the Taser would not be a distance weapon which is part of it appeal to law enforcement.





Agencies that have began to carry the Taser have actually reported a decrease in injuries to suspects and officers. This is because even though the shock delivered by a Taser is unpleasant it allows the officers to take someone into custody quickly and without much of a struggle. This means that their is not much of a fight and less chance of someone getting hurt.





I have been Tasered six or seven times now and used my Taser in the field to take a resisting suspect into custody. I am still very much alive and none of my resisting suspects suffered any real injuries.





Stats on Taser use and injury reduction in the field:


http://www.taser.com/research/statistics...
Reply:The hooks used are straightened #4 fish hooks that are less than a half inch in length. In regards to potential injury, getting hit with a baton would cause substantially more damage, like bruising or broken bones. Pepper Spray has a lasting effect of about 45 minutes.......The pain caused by a TASER stops immediately once the exposure is terminated. The injury from the hooks equates to a bee sting........so no.......I do not think that the TASERs are wrong.....





The only reason that I would think that using the TASER is wrong is by the officer who has become "TASER dependent" and is always reluctant to go "hands on".............
Reply:Would you rather get shot with bullets?
Reply:I think you're very naive. You should try wearing a cop suit and jump in the middle of a situation requiring that level of force. Then you will have your answer.
Reply:Being shot with a taser is very uncomfortable, but it lasts 5 seconds and is over, with a substantial reduction in injuries. As far as the barbs, they are tiny, and I never had anyone complain. They barely penetrate the skin.





Statistically, if a suspect and officer are in a physical struggle, 55% of the time the suspect is injured, and 45% of the time the officer is injured. With a baton, there is a better than 80% chance the suspect will be injured.





With the taser, the suspect is only injured 2% of the time, and the officer is not injured. These injuries are rarely from the taser itself, they are from the fall.





They are not perfect, but they are the best tool I've seen since I began this job in 1991.
Reply:How much electricity goes through them, cuz there are a lot of dangers with electricity. Sure it may not harm most people, or show up just by looking but they are there. People with weak hearts are at danger, electric shock can cause paralysis and scar nervous tissues, not to mention the convulsions can hurt you. Also it gives cops a false sense of safety in the fact that they think they can use it with no risks. Which means they are more likely to use a taser in a situation that doesn't require force. I can't wait until somebody dies from a taser, then they'll have to rethink this.
Reply:OK, lets just stop fighting crime altogether. Did you know that the only place in this country that you are guaranteed medical treatment, food, and shelter even if you are broke is in a state county or federal jail/prison. Law enforcement does not stop on the door step to the jail, it goes on even more inside. The average person has an image in their Head about jail/prison and they don't want to ever go to those places but the people that go there on a regular schedule know that it ain't half bad. I know that this is a little (a lot) off topic but I get so mad when the people that break the laws are the ones getting the better treatment. Ohio just got sued for the menu in state prisons and now has to change it and that will eventually work its way into county jails and that means that the food will cost more and that means more tax money on criminals.
Reply:The "hooks" you describe are just slight curves at the end of the probes that ensure that the probes attach to the skin and or clothing of the subject. They don't dig in or penetrate the outer skin layer.





I can't say anything more that what has already been said by other Officers on this post about the Taser. It's an effective tool for gaining compliance from an uncooperative subject. The alternatives are much more painful and cause a hell of a lot more damage.
Reply:Its safer for the person than being shot at or hit with an asp or batton!!! It safer for the officer than pepper spray because it always works!!!! If u get it used on u in the first place its because u did something wrong and u deserve it!!! Y should we treat criminals so well when they would do much worse things to a cop than a taser could ever possibly do to them!!! Like kill them or knock them over the head u know do things that actually cause damage to the body!!! Most of the time after the tasering is over there is no difference in the persons body than when they started!!!
Reply:First of all, a taser is a gun that fires the hooks. A stun gun is the "normal taser" I think you are talking about.





Here is the calculus for tasers:





Balancing the officer's need for something other than a regular gun v. not having the officer be trigger happy with their taser when they could use other methods (spray, physical restraint, etc.).





You figure out how to balance that properly, let me know . . .
Reply:Here's a cut and paste I use to answer these taser questions.





As a matter of fact, just to please all the taser haters here on Y!A, I've stopped carrying my taser.





Now, when I'm faced with a lot of those scenarios where I would have deployed my taser, I'll be using my baton and causing injury, possibly permanent injury, not just pain.





For the very few instances when my taser could have saved my life, and theirs, I'll be using 230 grain .45 caliber bullets at 985 FPS to do my defending.





Better than a 5 second taser hit?
Reply:During my last year of patrol, before I went into administration, I was in a brutal fight with a perp. I used pepper spray on him but it did not faze him. I literately had to beat the man into the ground with my Asp Baton. I wound up with a split lip, loose teeth, a gash on my head that required stitches, bruises and contusions, and I was off work for two days. My perp had a broken hand, three fractured ribs, a fractured shin, cuts, bruises, and contusions. He spent a couple night in the hospital and two years in prison.





All of that, Nickle, could have been avoided with a single shot from a Tazer. Neither of us would have been hurt. He probably would not have gone to prison. I bet if you could ask him now, if he could re-live the incident, for a choice between the beating and jail time or a jolt from the Tazer. He'd beg for that Tazer.
Reply:A taser gun does shoot 2 small darts that are attached to fine wires. These darts and wires carry the electrical charge to the body of the person shot with it. The idea is that the operator of the taser gun is able to control the person from a safe distant. Now it might seem that this is an inhumane device but when you consider that the use of more force could result in the major injury or possible death of someone, then this device might be the lesser of 2 evils. The taser can be misused just as any tool can. I hope that you never have to be on the receiving end of one. Have a happy holiday season.
Reply:I guess bullets that kill should be outlawed too.





I guess batons that can break bones should be outlawed too.





I guess OC Spray, who effects last for hours, should be outlawed too.





Or you should quit your whining and don't do anything that could get you tased? Hell that sounds like a novel idea.
Reply:You are so correct. I think that we should go back to ore broken bones and battered skull caps. I love the baton. We need more beatings. The short 1/2 barbs are so mean. Let's swing a steal rod like a baseball bat at arms and legs. Let's not have a laser to help guide the projectile. Let's risk damaging knees, elbows, and heads. I'm all for it. Then when some chicken sh*t lawyer gets a guy off on a technicality he will still remember what he did... Now, is this what you really want or do you think that the Taser probes going in 1/2 inch and causing minor irritation is a little better than the alternative?
Reply:ok,, i understand the thought you may have on the hooks,, but let me tell you,,, they dont hurt, it is like getting a little pinch...





would you rather be shot by a bullet,,, or a taser? bullets are permanent, taser is temporary





also if you have on heavy clothing,, the taser wont penetrate,,, oh but a bullet will





now you said the tasers with out hooks... I am not getting close to some idiot who is acting a fool, when I can tase him from a distance...





put yourself in the officers shoes... could you kill someone, or would you rather tase them.... remember once you kill someone, you have to live with that the rest of your life.
Reply:It is better than being shot, that's for sure. Right there, and right then, you will gain nothing by confrontational behavior with a police officer. Things can only go downhill for you. There will be a time before a judge when you can present your side of the story. Those tasers, all kinds, are not pleasant, avoid them if at all possible.

How to belly band pants with trouser hooks?

How to belly band pants with trouser hooks?
the belly band is a tube of fabric... i use them ALL the time now.

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use??

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use to insert into pine tree without damaging it?? Is there a type of metal I need to use? I want to put up clothes line and bird feeder attached to pines but don’t want to harm. Thanks!

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use??
Pine trees have a natural defense. They encase any foreign object in pitch if it is harming the tree.





You can really screw or nail just about anything you want into a pine tree without damaging it.





The main thing to remember is the way a tree grows. It adds a lay each year and if you have a screw, eye bolt or nail in the side of the tree eventually the item will be covered by the trees growth.





It is a good idea to have something that can be removed and put in a different place as the tree grows.





We have at least 25 to 30 pines on our lot and we haven't lost one yet to nails or screws in the side of the tree.
Reply:why would you want to hang clothes under a sappy old pine tree...not a good idea...
Reply:For the clothes line, I'd put an eye bolt through the tree, with washers and an adjustable nut so the bolt length can be increased as the tree grows.





You do not want anything girdling around the tree trunk, so just looping the clothesline around the trees is not a good solution for more than a weekend or so. Prolonged girdling loads will crush the phloem under the bark and cause major long term damage.





Birdfeeders are probably best attached to a branch well away from the clothesline. Those can simply be hung from a rope, or you can use a nut and bolt arrangement or just a good sized eye screw.
Reply:Any screw you put into the tree will affect it. The tree will grow around it. Pines are soft and grow fast. They also put out a lot of pollen. Why not get an in-ground system. Then you don't have to worry about the bird's doing their business while going to the feeder you want in the area too. Good luck!
Reply:I recommend using a strap around a branch rather than a screw into the tree (this would work for the bird feeder).





For the clothes line, use stainless steel. If you want to be safe, sterilize the screw in boiling water before inserting.
Reply:Bark is like skin, you put a hole in bark, it is like scratching your skin. Does it hurt the tree -yes. Will it kill the tree, not unless you make a lot of holes etc.





The best type to use for you would be galvanized, they don't rust then. You want them to be as small as you need to hold properly.





Use some common sense. Don't use a railroad spike to hold a bird feeder. Screws hold better than nails when subjected to horizontal pressure (pull out) for a clothes line for example. Nails are stronger than screws for vertical pressure (hanging off of or down from) for a bird feeder for example.

Mesh and suction cup divider. what can i cover the hooks with?
Use some silicon made for repairing fish tanks and tank ornaments. Cover all the metal well so it doesn't corrode (rust) as quickly being in water.





There also suction cups that are all plastic used to secure air tubing that you can find in pet stores. You might have to figure out how to attach it to the mesh and tank so there's no place for fish to sneak around the sides, but with this, you wouldn't have to worry about the metal at all: http://www.pets-warehouse.com/Vpasp/shop...
Reply:Drinking straws? You can buy a rubber product for tool handles but I don't know if it would be toxic to the fish. What about using long rods of plastic coated clothes hangers woven in and out of the mesh, then bend the top over the edge of the fish tank to hold the mesh in place? Or, you can go with your plan and buy little white plastic tips at the hardware store that would fit over the metal hook; these are used as little feety thingies or on the ends of men's tie hangers.

When knitting, what does it do when you use thicker hooks/ needles??..?

Right now I am using a size 10 hook, but what does it do to your "creation" if you use the super thick hooks.. or needles??

When knitting, what does it do when you use thicker hooks/ needles??..?
it gives you a looser tension.
Reply:When you use larger needles than recomended you get a knit/crocheted fabric with a loose drap and sort of a lacey look. I find that when using larger needles for example - I use 15's when 8's are recomended. it makes my work go alot faster, and way more flexible. You want to keep in mind that when you use a larger size when working from a pattern (when gauge is important) you'll want to adjust the number of stitches and rows so your end result is about the same size as the one from your pattern. You also need to keep in mind what kind of knitter you are; do you knit loosely? or do you knit tight? You can easily find out by knitting up a swatch of your yarn with the needle size recomended on the yarn label. If your swatch is smaller you knit tight and want to use a larger needle, if your swatch is larger than you knit loose and will want to use a smaller needle. I hope this helps.
Reply:it will not be as "tight".
Reply:It makes the thread farther apart, so there are more gaps and holes. If you want the knots to be tighter, then a smaller hook would be better.
Reply:Along with what everyone else has said, you can often counteract the bigger holes with a larger, bulkier yarn. Recently Lion Brand Yarn has been coming up with LOTS of bulky-yarn patterns, for size 50 needles (!), and I'm not sure what the crochet hook equivalent is called, but they do have one. In fact, when you start hitting the bulkier yarns, it's much better to size up your needles accordingly.





A word of advice: For anything above a size ten, I'd recommend wood, plastic, or bamboo needles...aluminum gets very hard on the hands at those sizes.

I would use a stainless steel screw because it's going to be exposed to the elements. That's what you use for decks, so you know that it will stand the test of time.
Reply:Why put anything into the tree? Take a longer rope and tie it all around the tree at the height you want and then remove it once a year. That way the rope will not have the tree grow around it, if you use a piece of rubber hose over the rope around the tree, it will not damage the tree but will let the tree grow. If you must have something driven in to the tree, a wood dowel will do the least amount of damage, use a dowel of the same specie as the tree and it will be absorbed eventually, with little or no damage to the tree.

Try Home Depot or Lowe's. I know one of them once sold something like that.


Personally, I use a hose extender meant for washing your car. It has adjustable settings and does an adequate job. The last rinse should be the mist setting. Not as good as a squeegee but not as dangerous as a ladder.

The best window cleaner to use for upstairs is 'RAIN'.


I very rarely clean my upstairs windows, what is the point when the rain cleans them. People pass by dont ever look up and say oh look they have dirty bedroom windows.


When I do clean them which is spring, I push the windows wide open so you have a gap. Use a soft brush and plenty of soapy water, clean water to rinse. When they are close to being dry use kitchen towel to buff them up and get rid of marks. Then just wash the outside of the windows with a soapy sponge. I do this once each year, I have never used a window cleaner, never bought any special cleaning stuff for windows.
Reply:Yes there is but I would never recommend using a hose..

2) If they are double pane they have a gas between two glasses that keeps the window clear...forced pressure from a hose can cause leaks leading to a milky color inside.





Try using this solution 5 gallon bucket filled with warm water half a cup of sudsing ammonia and a squirt of regular dawn (blue) dish washing liquid





that is what the proffesionals use, no streaks and clean...dont forget a window mop for cleaning the surface and a squeegee

Why is it that when a guy hooks up with a lot of girls..?

they dont call him anything, but when a girl hooks up with a lot of guys they call her a sl*t, whore, or a hoe. And if a guy cheats on a girl, they call him a player, which isnt a bad thing, but when a girl cheats on a guy they call her a sl*t?

Why is it that when a guy hooks up with a lot of girls..?
I'll give you some reasons why below that are from a developmental perspective, but essentially, the primary reasons why are (1) male sexism which treats women as less than men, and (2) the difference between how men and women view sex.





Anthropologically and historically, almost all societies have been patriarchal, as in male dominated, and polygamy was widespread in ancient times (and is still practiced today in 3rd world countries).





From an evolutionary standpoint, the survival of any species has always been dependent upon how many progeny you could produce and raise to adulthood, so since it takes 9 months for one woman to produce one child, it makes sense in this regard for men to seek out as many females to bear their offspring.





Now, all that crap aside, the bottom line is that for men and women view sex entirely differently (even though there are some crossovers). For most (not all) men, sex is a right of passage, and for some, the more partners one has, the more of a "stud" he is considered to be by his peers (and, oddly enough, by other women). He sees each sexual partner as a kind of conquest, and since going off and killing an animal or another human in battle is not practiced to prove oneself (thank God), sexual conquest has replaced the former.





Women, on the other hand, see sex as an emotional bond, as the ultimate gift that they can give a man, and when they sleep with a man (and it is satisfying enough), they will not go run off to find another one to bed. The name of the game is permanence: women usually look for that long-term relationship in which love is shared.





Now, if a woman goes from man to man just to have sex with them, then that behavior flies in the face of everything a woman is assumed to do, according to what I just said above. So, if she sleeps with a lot of guys then there cannot be any love involved, and if love and a long-term emotional bond are not the payoffs, then the payoff has to be materialistic in nature.





Therefore, if a woman has sex with a man for materialistic reasons, then that is the operational definition of "whore." The term, "sl*t," came into practice to describe women who indiscriminantly sleep with men -- the key word here being indiscriminant because women are usually very picky when it comes to picking a guy which whom to have sex.





I hope that answers your question.

What brand is the strongest sharpest fish hooks ?
owner for plastics and gamakatsu ewg for treble hooks.anything owner or gamakatsu is going to be sharp .its the only hooks i fish except the lucky craft hooks which cost a bundle.oh and dont waste your time with eagle claw or mustad hooks they just arent worth losing a good fish over.
Reply:I prefer Gamagatsu and Daichi hooks they keep a good sharp point and have strong hook setting capabilities, they can be a little spendy but worth it.

i swear by these 2 hooks,as far as bass fishing is concerned.





if u are replacing hooks on lures i would go with the red gamagatsu hooks.


as far as worm fishing be sure and get a wide gap hook.these hooks reduce line twist as well as staying in the fish mouth when hooked.

How do i get my suction cup hooks to stick on my windows without them falling off all the time.?
Make sure the suction cups are not misshapen. The out of shape allows air to get into the seal more easily.





If they are out of shape, clean them with soapy water, rinse them. Clean the glass. Have a container of boiling water nearby. Drip the suction cup briefly. It will soften it. Immediately press onto window glass. Hopefully it will dry and remove the misshape.

Reply:Moisten them with a sponge or towel. Not too much just damp enough and the water will help them stick. If you are hanging something very heavy, try using three suction cups, in the shape of a triangle, and that will distribute the weight a little more evenly.

Why do most fishing lures have 2 or 3 treble hooks?

Can I remove or replace the treble hooks w/ singles %26amp; will I destroy the action if I do?.





Are there manufacturers of medium %26amp; large lures that don't have so many hooks?

Why do most fishing lures have 2 or 3 treble hooks?
More hook points = more hookups.





I'm not sure what type of lures you're using, so I'll try to cover what I can.





Changing out parts is something many/most avid fisherman do regularly. eg. I throw Cordell pencil poppers, but the hooks bend because they're weak, so I replace them with Gamikatsu 2x trebles. They are topwater lures, so there's not much risk of over weighting them or ruining the action by changing hooks out. With other bass-type lures, buzzbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, etc...I usually swap the hooks out. With larger lures that have three trebles, I'll generally take out the middle hook to prevent the hooks from touching and tangling on eachother while working the lure. Also., once a fish is hooked, it prevents the middle hook from interferring and potentially aiding in disloging the other hook. Trebles will increase the number of hookups because, well, there are three hooks, not one. Single/siwash hooks are better at keeping fish hooked. However, when using barbed hooks, it's a little harder to make the comparison, but it's still there. Single hooks also offer a longer shank, making it more difficult for a head-shaking fish to shake the hook out.





When salmon/sleethead fishing with plugs, I'll swap out hooks with single siwash on chain swivels. This has proven to be the most effective configuration for me.





In general, changing hooks out will not ruin the action of lures. If there is a change in the action, 99% of lures made now are "tunable" in one way or another. Most manufacturers include the directions in the packaging.
Reply:This is the classic example. You can always tell a fishermen, but you can't tell him anything. Yes, on some lures taking the trebles off will throw the action of the lure off. Sorry, that's a fact. Replace trebles with trebles of the same or slightly bigger size. Lures with 3 trebles, take the middle one off. But you will lose some fish. As far as a single barb hook, you'll have to play with it and spend some money on hooks to figure it out. Your hook up ratio will go severly down. I would just use single hook lures and for go the aggravation.
Reply:They are there simply to improve your chances of catching fish, when a bass, trout etc nudges the lure they will get caught on it , you can use single hooks and no it wont affect the action, making them only a little bit lighter, you could try some hooks made by owner, called assist hooks, if you can get them in smaller sizes, if not a hook of your choice attached with braid, not just the hook eye to the lures split ring, this will increase you chances of catching if you choose the route of fishing single hooks.





http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...


(these are for saltwater but it gives you a rough idea of what you could do, ive tried it and have to say it has worked for me, especially for trout, also using barbles seems to get a better hook hold).
Reply:The lures have trebles, and more than one of them, to increase the chance of hooking a fish when it bites. Since a fish will know as soon as it bites it's been fooled, it's not going to try to swallow an artificial the way it would a natural bait.





Since these lures are designed to swim with the weight of the hooks, removing them or changing to different size/style hooks will likely alter or destroy the action. If your replacement hooks have the same weight and pretty much the same weight distribution, the lure will probably swim okay -- the only way to know would be to try it. I've heard that you can also replace a hook with a small sinker and the lure will still swim -- again, the weight has to match up.





But in either of these situations, you'll probably hook fewer fish. (Single hooks are cheaper -- lure manufacturers would use them if they worked as well as trebles.)
Reply:Those trebles improve chances of catching a fish. I have removed or replaced several trebles. Sometimes just to change size or to add better quality hooks. When I'm dragging a lure on the bottom I take the belly hook off (to avoid hang-ups) and just rely on the single hook on top. I have taken trebles off the back and replaced with a feathered treble or those hooks that look like a small frog hook. A couple of Storm lures I have only came with one belly treble. Not sure if it alters action too much, but there are times when I removed a hook and still had a good day of catching.
Reply:Put big minnows and worms on the large hooks and grobs and so on on the small hooks or if you are a tree hugger take a pliers and rip the hooks off, man I can hear the fish screaming from here.

Make sure it's something that meshes well rhythmically to the beat. Something that someone might want to sing along to.

Reply:not every song has to have a hook


sometimes the song just sounds better with one


but its not always necessary
Reply:most song's hook actually has the title of the song within it, esp. if it is a rap song. for example: Dreamin' by young Jeezy, his hook was Dreamin(wit some other words). just use the title of your song, and twist it up some. did that help a bit?
Reply:well...they can have a simple rhyme scheme, just make them short, simple, and memorable...

But if you have to then I guess include the title of the song (maybe), and keep it short and simple, and catchy.

Divisoria probably has the cheapest price. SM dept. stores have some materials for crochet including hooks. I've also seen some supplies at CraftWorld at the malls.


You can also check out my website at:


http://mimi.csa.googlepages.com/home


since I offer supplies manufactured by Coats Manila Bay. I also design crochet items. The prices of my threads and hooks and patterns are much lower than those at the malls. You can pick up an order (no delivery charge) or have it delivered to you (you pay extra for delivery). I have a regular customer in Iloilo and we just communicate by email. I send her orders by registered mail. She sends payment by depositing to my bank account. I also have some customers here in Quezon City, who just pick up their orders.

OK to store bike hanging from hooks?

I know they make the hooks to put in the rafters of a garage to hang a bike upside down on. Seems like the weight of the whole bike would be on two small spots on each rim. Will rims bend slightly with time ?

OK to store bike hanging from hooks?
Sure over years of time. If you really don't plan to use your bikes for years at a clip, then why bother having them? At least that's the way I look at it. Besides, how much does your bike weigh? 25-30lbs? OK, divide that by two and then remember that each time you take it down and put it up, it's going to be a different spot on each rim. Then think about how much weight each rim actually supports when you ride around on it, not to mention the amount it takes for even a small impact say from a rock or a pothole? I'd say it's fine up there.

I don't know a specific name, either, but I would not use the adhesive kind. They can very easily (read will) remove a big patch of paint/drywall if you ever want to move or remove them.





Use the type that uses a very small nail. They go into the wall at an angle, supporting the load nicely. You can get different sizes that have different weight loads. and when you need to remove them, there is just a tiny little hole that hardly ever shows.





I would look under "picture hanging"





Good Luck

Reply:They are repositionable self adhesive hooks. They come with special double sided tape that has a tab that is left free of the hook. When you are moving or just rearranging stuff, you just pull down on the tab (while holding the hook) and the hook comes off the wall without leaving any mark or pulling great patches of paint off your walls. The are made in various sizes that can hold different weights and are made by 3M. You should be able to find them in a hardware store in the same section that you would find traditional picture hooks.

Have you ever used the dough hooks that come with an electric mixer?

I'm interested in making homemade bread. I have an electric mixer with what they call dough hooks. Can I use them to do the kneading?

Have you ever used the dough hooks that come with an electric mixer?
yes yes yes...I use mine all the time....the kneading time though is not like when the recipe calls for kneading (like 10 minutes or what ever) but when the dough starts clinging to and riding up the dough hook...the dough is done kneading.....mine turns out perfect every time and I use it often.....good luck
Reply:Yes, mine works very well. Just watch for it to be smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
Reply:Yes. I have a Kitchen Aide stand mixer that does a fantastic job. The hook turns and makes a wonderful bread.


I also have a cheaper brand with 2 dough hooks, and the hooks do not turn, nor does the bowl when filled with dough. It works ok, but I have to stand there and turn the bowl for much longer that it would take for hand kneading and the dough never is smooth or elastic. That cheap brand is fine for mixing, but not beating or kneading. I find my hand mixer better for beating egg whites and just about everything else. I should dump that cheap stand mixer. It's more trouble that it's worth and doesn't do a good job.





Spend a few more dollars and get a Kitchen Aide mixer. It's priceless.
Reply:I use mine when I make certain types of breads. Like kaiser buns where you need to beat egg white into flour. You can only use them for so long and then the dough gets so dense you have to finish by hand (unless you've got an amazing little motor in your mixer...most hand mixers don't).





I find the use of dough hooks more handy when making chocolate chip cookie dough. It's still moist so the mixer can handle the load.

My braces dont have any hooks at the end. is it just fine?

I just had my braces last week both upand down.and as i noticed it doesn't have any hooks or any wires after the last brace attached to the last tooth.is it just fine? and also every brace is not placed in a single line.one brace is placed in different angles.it made me think that maybe my brace will not be a success. my problem is underbite.it's not that serious but my lower jaw seems to move forward more. can a dentist perform such job? or an orthodontist only.if ever what should i do if i found out that he's not a real orthodontist and the outcome of my braces are worse. can i initiate a legal action?

My braces dont have any hooks at the end. is it just fine?
You could, but you'd need to get a second opinion on the braces!





Sometimes they're at angles because your teeth will need to be put at another angle, and eventually it'll become straight.





Give it time first!
Reply:the braces need to line up with the angle of the root of your tooth. You are not qualified to know where that is which is why you have no idea what is going on. The fact that you are thinking about legal action is absolutely pathetic. There doesn't need to be anything after the last bracket. If the brackets were put on your teeth straight across they would do nothing, they are put to line up with the teeth and then they will become straight as your teeth move. A dentist can do this, an orthodontist can do this the one person who I know can't do it is you so stop being ignorant and learn something before you talk about legal action.

Where can I get crochet hooks cheap?

We are taking crochet hooks and yarn to a small village in Mexico and I need to find the best price to buy them. Any suggestions?

Where can I get crochet hooks cheap?
You may want to consider purchasing the hooks %26amp; yarn while in Mexico -- did you know Susan Bates, a crochet hook maker, has one of their manufacturing plants there? You may get a better deal there AND not need to transport them.





Otherwise, check ebay %26amp; amazon. If you have a Rag Shop near you, check with them too -- they filed for bankruptcy and have been offering coupons of 25% -- 40% off your entire purchase.

What is the easiest way to change treble hooks on a crankbait?

I have he!! trying to change hooks on some crankbaits especially when adding a larger than original hook . Some of the rings are tight, Any secrets for getting the ring opened to change them with ease?

What is the easiest way to change treble hooks on a crankbait?
Look at your tackle store for a pair of split ring pliers. They are specially made pliers for spreading the ring apart so you can remove a hook and reattach another one. It takes a little practice but basically you put the end of the pliers that drops down right where the end of the split ring coil is and the squeeze the handles together. The coil will separate and then you can slip the eyelet of the treble hook into the gap , then just work the hook around until it comes out of the ring. Then separate it again and start your new hook onto the ring. When you get the hang of it you will be able to take off the old hook and start the new one on at the same time. I know this sounds difficult but it is one of those things that is hard to describe without being able to demonstrate. Also, don't buy the cheap split ring pliers that are flat........they will not last and the point of the pliers becomes distorted after just a few uses. Buy a good pair ($5-$7) with good handles and a wire (line) cutter near the hinge. Like I said, it takes a little practice but when you get the hang of it you will be able to change hooks in no time at all. One more thing, when you buy the pliers go ahead and get a pack of split rings because sometimes when you remove a hook the ring will become bent and will not go back to its original coiled shape..........if this happens then go ahead and replace it.
Reply:All good answers!
Reply:A good pair of split ring pliers is handy .


I replace the split ring and the hooks at the same time.Normally I just clip the ring off the crank bait and then put the new hook on a new split ring then with a jewlers screw driver I open the ring enough to go over the loop in the bait.


,the just turn til the split ring is on.
Reply:Rapala has 2 pairs of SRP's. One is twenty bucks, and the other is only ten bucks. Both work the same, except the material is better quality in the higher priced pliers.





The only problem is on some plugs the split rings are soooo tiny that you can't get the little nipple in there to open it up. When that happens, I cut the tiny rings off, and replace them with larger split rings that can be opened with the Rapala pliers. Stay away from the cheaply priced pliers though-remember, you get what you pay for.
Reply:Split ring pliers are good. You can use a sharp knife to open up the ring too, make sure you are carefull or OUCH! Another way too is simply find a good new set of split rings with a trebble that opens easily then snip the old one off
Reply:get a pair of split ring pliers at your local tackle shop. Or you can tell a friend to do it like i would do.
Reply:Yeah Split ring pliers and a knife are the way to go .Get the old hook started to keep the ring open and add the second hook then walk both around until the old hook is ready to come off then back off the new hook so it falls in place. GOOD LUCK and KEEP FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:There is no "easy" way to change trebles. A pair of split ring pliers is still the easiest way to get it open so you can remove the hook that is on there and put on the new one.

Wow, I have no Idea. Have you checked Lowes or Home Depot? Or a sporting goods store in the rock climbing department.
Reply:for large stone they use lewis pins.. http://www.averyknight.co.uk/itemdetl.ph...
Reply:Do you have a Lowes Home Improvement or a Home Depot Hardware Store there? I couldn't imagine one or the other not being in Connecticut. If you have Lowe's, then go down to the Hardware Department, turn before you get to the hardware service-desk,and they should be down the nuts and bolts and screw aisle. Not on the same side,but across from the nails. (which are on the same aisle at the end of all the screws,etc.) Look in the bins towards the bottom. There are bulk, or loose screw-eyes and screw hooks.The smaller ones are about eye level,right above them hanging on peg-hooks. You'll need to get a masonry anchor to hold them into the rock. Get the metal ones , just for masonry,Also get a masonry drill bit .Now,if you go to the Depot, they should be just before the plywood aisle,with the chain,and hinges,stuff like that. If you can't find them anywhere, go to ," Crown Bolt and Supply Company.com" or,"Hellman Fasteners" or " VSI Hardware". With all of those,you should be able to find something.Good Luck,Byee
Reply:Maybe a marine supply store like Defenders? They sell heavy chain and connectors for boat anchors and moorings.

Reply:ok i'm not sure on the out put of an amp but like computer speakrs will hook up to any MP3 player and every mp3 player has the same sound quality it all depends on the speakers and the file because if you "share" (steal) with like limewire then your sound might be a little bad because all those sharing programes is copy files and that can create errors in the songs. but ultimatly any MP3 player would do





this is for the other people who responded





OMG people sound quality has nothing to do with your MP3 player. all your MP3 player is a big flash drive with a screen. Oh and a name like ipod so you can have a ipod and be popular.

Hi Is the microwave built in to the wall? If yes you might need to call an appliance company. Do not attempt to use the microwave. It wont work right any way, those hooks activate three switches inside the unit. If it is less than a yr its under warrentee and No charge. If its a table type model its probably not worth fixn.

How do you remove butterfly hooks from a wall?

The kind of hooks you hang so that you don't need a stud; they just open up like "wings" and support themselves to the back of the drywall in side the wall so that you can hang things. How do you get them out of the wall?

How do you remove butterfly hooks from a wall?
It's a messy job to remove them and it's usually best to recess them slightly, using a hammer and, say a bolt or something flat ended, just slightly larger than the diameter


of the shaft of the hook, then fill and touch up the depression.


Try not to knock them right through because that makes more of a hole to fill.
Reply:remove the bolt and let the wing drop behind the plasterboard then put some filler on the hole
Reply:the first answer is correct (though I've always heard them called "toggle bolts")...I would add that you need to maintain the pressure of the toggle against the inside of the dry wall as you're unscrewing it or it will just spin around. I've always found it helpful to hold the bolt loosely in the jaws of a pair of pliers to maintain that outward pressure while unscrewing it.
Reply:Those're called 'Molly Bolts'.


You don't get them out of the wall.


Once you unscrew the central toggle bolt, the spring action wingnut drops off, falling between the interior wallspace, never again to be seen.


Buy another one.
Reply:For the least damage do the following: Unscrew the bolt a few turns. Using a bolt or linesman pliers, cut the head off the screw. push the clipped screw through the wall. You now have smaller hole to spackle. You will never be able to salvage the molly bolt without wrecking the wall!
Reply:I would just push them through and patch over the small whole. We really messed up a wall with butterfly hooks.
Reply:You'll have to drill them out (same size drill as part of hook poking through wall) piece will drop inside wall (no problem).


Get some spackling compound and fill hole, a little excess. When dry sand smooth and paint.

Lindy Rig for walleye in Minnesota with 3 hooks?

My friend makes these "lindy rigs" with beads and a blade and then 3 small hooks at the end spaced an inch or 2 apart from one another to hold a worm (think this is called a worm or crawler harness). My question is since in minnesota you can only have one hook, is this legal??

Lindy Rig for walleye in Minnesota with 3 hooks?
From what I can understand, if it has a blade, or spinner attached, it is considered a "lure" and therefore legal. If there is no spinner, then it would be illegal.





Here is a link to a discussion, I will search some more and see if I can find any more info.

Good luck fishing!





Edit:


I just read through some more discussions, and I am comfortable that as long as a spinner is attached it is legal. Here is one more discussion for you to read.





http://www.fishingminnesota.com/forum/sh...
Reply:I'm gonna be honest that I don't know a lot about fishing, but I have seen (and used) a lot of lures with multiple hooks on them in MN. Are you sure the rule isn't that you can't have more than one line (with hook) in the water per licensed person?





--- After reading your responses and the other people, it sounds like they know what they are talking about and would explain why I have seen so many lures with multiple hooks.
Reply:Yes it is legal. They sell them at all the bait stores also. They also make a leach harness. Same thing but only has two hooks.
Reply:Sharon is correct. A crawler harness is considered a "lure".

Physics question: a hammock is supported by two hooks at the same level...........?

a hammock is supported by two hooks at the same level. a man is seated in this hammock. at what angle relative to the horizontal will the tension in each suspending rope ( hence the pull on each hook) be equal to the mans weight?

Physics question: a hammock is supported by two hooks at the same level...........?
In a rope the force is acting in the direction of the rope.





For a given angle α to the horizontal you can separate the tension in an vertical and an horizontal part:


Fh = F·cos α


Fv = F·sin α





From a vertical force balance follows that the vertical part of the two suspending ropes must equal the weight of the man:


2 ·F·sin α = W





Moreover the magnitude of the tension in each rope should equal the weight of the man:


F = W





Hence:


2 ·W·sinα = W


%26lt;=%26gt;


sinα = 1/2


%26lt;=%26gt;


α = 30°

The best selection, best prices, %26amp;; if you're in a hurry, they overnite-ship!





But, honestly; the BEST bait I've ever used, for Carp, is to "Sight-Cast" a small piece of white-bread, squeezed into an air-less dough-ball on your hook! You can "Chum" them up, with bread-pieces, first; if they are hard to see.





Super-cheap bait; %26amp; ANY trebble-hook will work!





P.S. Carp SUCK, as "Food-Fish"; but, they put-up a WORLD-CLASS FIGHT, on light-tackle!


ENJOY!!!

Reply:Why don't you just shoot 'em! They really don't even make good bait. LOL! Throw a hand grenade in and watch 'em float up.
Reply:Go to your local fishing store and find "Stink Bait". Right next to that will be treble hooks that have a rubber sack around the hook. Squeeze the stink bait inside and cast it out on the bottom. You will not have any mess on your hands.
Reply:Way out here in the boonies, we take (don't laugh) an old pair of pantyhose and cut them into squares. We put any bait that won't stay on a hook (like doughbait or chicken livers) in the middle of the small sqaure and wrap the corners around it. Put this on your hook and it'll stay without losing any effectiveness of your bait. Be sure to soak your squares in the stinky bait first to get the human smell off of it.
