Thread: Foot Pedal Bottom Pad

  1. Default Foot Pedal Bottom Pad

    If your foot pedal is like mine, with the screws on the bottom, Ray from Everlast Support gave me this tip. Get a piece of non-slip rubber with an adhesive back (got mine from Home Depot) and cut it to fit on the bottom of the pedal to protect the screws. Here what mine looks like.

    Wow. Home Depot sells that? Pretty nice. I think I can probably find some use for that product. Good find!
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    The rubber sink/countertop liner material also works great with a little rubber cement. I think skateboard tape is unbeatable for the footpedal side. S/F.....Ken M

    E6M never had a problem with my foot slipping off the pedal, but skateboard grip tape is a good idea if my foot starts to slip.

    Wait til you try adjusting it with your knee or some other contorted crap

    I use it mostly on pistols, but it comes in huge sheets, so it's been pressed into other uses. Edges of stairs, old folks shower/bathtub, the uses are endless. S/F....Ken M

    Been there, done that. Elbow, side of head, etc. It really sucks not having a torch switch in times past.

    There's just a simple pot and switch in the pedal, right?
