New use for old pizza boxes

I pull them out of the recycle bin when my kids throw them away, they are good for breaking open motors that have gear box oil. the oil stays in the box instead of flowing all over the work bench/floor. My dad burns them anyways so this is win win for both of us and I dont have to worry about finding a container to use and then clean afterwards.

What type of motors are you referring to?

I used to do that. Works well.

Oh say, something like pressure washer motors that have the gear oil in them for example. That stuff is just so slick, even after I wash it up its still a little oily on the floor.

Gotcha. Will keep that in mind for sure.

Your right about pressure washer motors, broke one down last week, lot of oil. Didn't have pizza so no boxes available but did use newspapers and rags.

I wish I would have thought of this when I was opening a washer gearbox yesterday, but thanks anyways. lol
