Whats Inside Portable Battery Jump Starter Compressor (4 in 1)-CENTECH B...

This CENTECH brand portable battery jump starter never did work. It was given to me by a friend who said he wasn't sure if it worked or not. Well, it did not work so I figured I tear it down, take it apart and see what this thing is made of to see what's inside. There really weren't any valuable recyclable materials in here to speak of. I'm sure if you really really took some time. and removed the insulation from some of the wiring or melted some other pieces down you could possible get some redeeming value out of it. There was a small battery inside this unit that could possibly be of some value. It's interesting when you take some of these things apart how much they can fit into one small unit. Very impressive except for the fact that it didn't hold up over time. Regardless, I figured I'd somewhat repurpose this thing before I threw it away by using it as a learning tool for disassembly. One thing I have a habit of saving is some of the fasteners such as the small screws as well as some its and bolts. These have come in handy over the years.

DIY IKEA Brand "OMAR" Model Wire Storage Racks-Basic Assembly Directions

As much as I despise setting foot in IKEA having to deal with the crowds and  navigate through the habit trail of items that we can live without but must have, these wire rack shelves are actually pretty nice. The model style or type is called "OMAR". Assembly time is less than 15 minutes or so per section of shelf. The nice thing about these is that you assemble them and purchase them one section at a time which lends to their versatility. They have engineered these wire racks to not be too cumbersome and to hug the wall as much as possibly without any wasted space. They are a most efficient use of space. Practically anyone can put this thing together with zero tools. The only thing you will potentially need a few tools for is securing this to the wall. Securing it to the wall is important and probably overlooked many times but once you start assembling and stacking more than one section of these shelves they can become top heavy and a safety hazard. So I do recommend you secure these to the wall especially if you have young ones around who would find shelving units such as these a perfect structure for climbing.

Out of all of the shelving units I've assembled in my life, these are probably the easiest. I have some experience with these in the past as Costco used to sell them and maybe they still do. They were a little more costly than these but they were also more robust. One thing I did like was that they give you an extra shelf clamp as part of each kit just in case one doesn't snap in perfectly (which would result in the shelf being useless) or if one breaks for becomes lost. Anything extra in kits of any kind of item these days is a rarity so this is appreciated and even more so if needed to be used. You will also find yourself with an extra set of adjustable feet if you decide to stack your shelves. I set these aside in case I wanted to ever use the units separately in the future. Truth be told, I will probably lose the adjustable feet by the time I ever re-realize that the shelves come back apart in two pieces and can be used separately.
