What really sucks with the 4 swivels, I moved a lot of my stuff out of storage and it's over my kids house, the heavy stuff is on casters 4 swivel. The floor in her garage have floor drains at center. So the floor is pitched to the center. Rolling stuff around on that floor is PITA. If I didn't have brakes, all my stuff would roll to the center lol.

I have one of those, has more of a radius on the hook end. Home made, not sure where it came from, or why it was made, but real handy to have around....versatile that's for sure.

Okay so, how about locking pin install tool ? Interested to see what you come up with now lol.

Like the main water supplies around here, except that's a T-handle with a hex socket. Have one of those as well...I know where I got that lol

Lol Alright, -it's good.

A lot has happened since then, I'l update, -

We moved the 55 into the bedroom, we meaning me lol. Connect to the interweb and stream through the DVD player vs the TV now. Fixed everything, so something is wrong with the interface on the Vizio. Also , yea that plug lol, -it's was fairly new, but the receptical or female end isn't the greatest. You just nudge the cord and it falls out of it...purchased a bad one I expect. Wasn't a cheapy. Using a Belkin strip now. As long as the battery's are good in the remote, shouldn't have any issues. We'll see.

Some of those Vizio's have had Wifi issues. Are you using cable or Wifi?

Speaking of.... made myself feel really stupid yesterday. I have been doing a crap ton of CAT6 lately, and I had a connection issue on one of our systems..... Turns out I completely reversed the RJ45 connector. Made for a nice DOH! moment. Must have been sidetracked when I was doing that one, lol.

The Wifi works okay, streaming via ethernet was the problem and isolated to that Vizio only. Freezes,distorted picture and low bandwidth problems became frequent, but like I said, just this TV. We are now streaming through a samsung blue ray, same year model in fact and using the TV as just a display and everything seems to be fine again. If it stays that way, It must be the interface or internal. It's not the firmware, so they say and it isn't a speed problem. Sort of a last ditched effort before pulling the back off.
