Warning! Do not use this aircraft tool on an aircraft
 
My aircraft jacks came with this warning label, nice :o :confused: :eek:

That's one way to limit liability, I suppose.

Back in my younger days I was into competition slalom water skiing and did a lot of testing on R&D products for one of the big name producers. Each new ski would arrive at my house in plain fiberglass without paint or gloss or anything, except a sticker on it that said "Warning - do not use this product."

The throttle/prop/mixture cables I bought from Van's Aircraft are "not for use on aircraft":

Harbor Freight? The load leveling device for my engine hoist has basically the same warning sticker.

Have you ordered an ELT by any chance? They come in a box that says "Do not ship by air."

Not to mention the NGK spark plugs many of us use are "not for use in aircraft".

Oh oh. I have NGK plugs and an ACS throttle cable in my RV...:rolleyes:

We use a US designed thermal imaging camera to look at circuit board hot spots during the prototype phase and it's useful for other things aircraft thermal related as well- heat exchanger flow, cylinder heads, exhaust, bearings etc.



The device is made in China... Seriously? Ahh, oh never mind...

Brake lines
 
If you ever have brake lines made, its for a off road vehicle. They won't make them other wise.

Well, technically it is "off road".
