New tool from walbro

Sometimes I think that manufacturers believe we are all stupid
or so Ill informed that they can pass off commonly available
objects as specialty tools. Walbro is offering this as a
specialty tool for cheaning small carb parts.
It will surely do the job but it is really your Aunt Pittypat's
stainless tea strainer available at Target for $4 or so!
Here it is on the Walbro page

Well, it's nice to be able to get everything in one place!
Always surprised how many domestic items we use.

I hear you. Trouble is Aunt PityPat is long gone and none of
these new guys know anything other than a tea bag!
What do they want for that thing anyhow?
Chaps me that they can sell us this tool but cant sell us the
adjustment tools for the jets that they make...

Don't know couldn't find a price on it. At first I thought 'it
must be some sort of joke' but when I saw that they had brochure
on it, I figured they were serious. It is not the carb guys who
won't sell the adjusting tools (at least in the US) its the
friggin EPA who stops them! Some sort of BIG fine if caught
selling the tools. OEMs same deal for selling the tools that
remove the limiter caps.

Or you can buy a box of Lipton, dump out the orange peko, and
have 100 disposable ones for $6!
Or cut the toes off some panty hose. Or use a lint filter from
the hardware store. Or sew a small piece of fabric window screen
into a pouch. Or a minnow net from a tropical fish store.
I'll bet there is also a lot of stuff at a chemistry supply
house too!
(Sorry - a bit of cabin fever from the brutal cold temps).
Seriously, I buy a lot of kitchen stuff at garage sales for
workshop use.
