You keep buying tools and before long you'll have a full mechanics shop, derf.

Ironically, now that I've amassed a decent amount of knowledge, my tremor is bad enough that I struggle with getting tools onto fasteners, especially when under the car or working w my arms fully extended or above my head.

Losing fine motor control sucks. Was already semi clumsy. But I do what I can while I can. You, jamnar, and Andy silently remind me that you are limited only if you allow yourself to limit yourself.

Have you been tested for Parkinsons, derf? With tremors from Parkinsons, they've had some very good success with DBS. Deep Brain Stimulation. I hate the fact that your tremors are effing with your abilities.

I couldn’t work with my arms over my head a couple years ago. I am on Relief Factor and am working at full speed for a 63 year old about to be 64 in a week and a half.

You and I are close in age, Andy. I'll be 63 on August 28th. We're classics!
