Title: Yet another sonic tester question .........
Post by: Tommy A on January 23, 2018, 10:47:09 PM
I order the 6500 tester Kevin had the link to, it comes yesterday but.........the lube you put on the probe is not there. E-mail the seller and was told because it comes from china the postal service will not ship the lube. So it just us or did you guys have the same song and dance???? thanks........Tommy

The bottle of “lube” was in my case, and I’m pretty sure it was in Jays too. On Jay’s suggestion I’ve just been using Vasoline. You use a fair amount of the stuff if you’re checking a lot of points, that little bottle wouldn’t have lasted long anyway, but I get it sucks to be cheated out of it.

Mrs.-T bought me one of those 6500 sonic testers for Christmas.

It also came with an empty bottle of juice. I used gear oil just because that's what I had handy. Worked fine.

Those little checkers are heart breakers. Kind'a like going to the track. You expect some good numbers...then reality kicks you squarely in-the-nuts.

Just pop over to the local pharmacy and ask for the biggest tube of K-Y jelly they have.  Then purchase two or three of them.  Gets lots of attention from the girls at the checkout counter. 

...works well too...   :)

 ;D ;D Why didt i thought about that i have somewhere
a full bottle of analube i got from a girl in Copenhagen
While waiting on the wife going throug testning all the
shoes in the store i started to look at a fouintain they
had with just a slow dribble. The owner of the store
walked up to me and asked if i could fix that, as the gentleman
i am and bored with waiting i cleaned the filter and the nossle
So it squirted like a geyser .The owner thanked me for the help
and put a bag with something in my pocket and she said... Dont open
It before you get home. She smiled at me and said you look like you
