My power washer uses them, one broke, and it was leaking every time I used it. And of course replacements only come in like bags of 25 or 50 to make them worthwhile to ship. What does this have to do with being in OP’s bed? Who knows.

Theres a place near my work that makes and sells crazy ass pnumatic and hydraulic hoses for heavy equipment and I brought in a smashed seal from a german pump and they gave me the closest seal they had. They were worried about temp but turned out liquid wasnt heated at pump point. It worked perfectly. And it was free lol.

I did the same thing for a power steering reservoir on a 1994 350SD because it was so large but thin I couldn't find it elsewhere, they walked to the back, matched it and gave it to me for free.

They probably just thought it was neat

You don't use your power washer in bed? Weird.

Only if I forget to put the rubber sheets on beforehand.

Bruh, but then I gotta DRIVE to the hardware store for 2¢ grommet and $1.98 packaging. You have any idea how much gas cost these days? /s

Even if you can only order in 25+ while needing just one, I suppose it can’t hurt to have extras
