Juu ya Baridi, Nikaamua Kuwa Fundi
🌧️ It’s a cold, rainy Nairobi day… and instead of cuddling, I decided to disassemble my car jump starter 😅 — yes, that 3-in-1 gadget we all throw in the boot and forget about!
The tyre pump mechanism was dead… so I got curious 👀.
🛠️ I tore the whole thing down like the Electrical & Electronics Engineering alumni I am 🤣. Found a torn piston seal, bought a new one, oiled the gears & piston, dusted off the PCB like a pro — and guess what?
✅ IT’S ALIVE! The pump now works better than it did when I bought it (as every DIY guy says).
Moral of the story?
💡 🔥 Bikers, usitupe vitu haraka… sometimes solutions ni za 250 bob tu!… and a bored biker in shivers with coffee on standby 😂
👉🏾 Let’s normalize roadside DIYs and saving a few coins 💪🏾
