Yeah just scrape it against some pieces of wood periodically and the rust should stay under control.

Choose your affinity:

1. Mechanic - heat it up, apply lubricant, use a pipe to increase leverage
2. Welder - weld on a piece of scrap to give better grip / leverage
3. Machinist - mill out the offending part
4. Carpenter - hammer on it

It’s not a pressure thing, bike tires usually need higher pressure than a car. It just takes a much greater volume of air to change the pressure in a car tire so a much greater number of pumps.

It was what everyone used to measure stuff before we had the materials technology for flexible metal tapes. I still use one because it makes a more useful scale than a measuring tape when taking photos of dirt and rocks inside of pits.

E: Every now and then I still see people using surveying "sticks" in that style. I don't envy them.

Those are leveling rods, and are designed to be read accurately through a fancy self-leveling telescope from far away. You can’t substitute one of these without losing your license.

Some kind of tradesperson moved in across the street from my mom recently, and today while visiting I watched his 5 year old son with a Milwaukee oscillating tool and a corner sanding attachment just going hog wild on a log. That kid is either gonna be a master tradesman or have zero fingers by the time he's 17.

There are a lot worse ways a kid could spend a day.

Could be! I don't know enough about surveying to speak with authority one way or the other, but I do know that 16 1/2 feet is a magic number in that trade (length of one rod). "Nubian" :yikeseroo:

Mostly I was thinking that a surveyor was (and still is) the only person who needs to care about measuring things ~100 feet in length.

I would clamp it in the vice and go at it with the file. Angle grinder might work but I would be worried about one tiny twitch loving it up. Maybe if you will have to remove a lot of metal to get rid of any notches.
