This is a Lego Technic piece called Technic, Liftarm 1 x 5 Thin (32017). Imagine a small, flat, rectangular beam made of light gray plastic.   Thin Profile: It's noticeably thinner than a standard Technic liftarm. Length: It's 5 Lego units long. Holes: It has five round holes evenly spaced along its length. These holes are designed to accommodate Lego Technic pins and axles, allowing for connections to other Technic pieces.   Shape: The ends of the liftarm are slightly rounded. Purpose: Thin liftarms are used in Lego Technic models where a thinner beam is needed, often for creating linkages, supports, or structural elements where space is limited. In essence, it's a thin, light gray, rectangular Lego Technic beam with five holes, designed for creating connections and structures in Technic models where a thinner profile is required.

This image shows the cover of a Lego set manual. Let's describe it: Imagine a glossy manual with a dark background, likely black or very dark gray. Product Image: The main focus of the cover is a large, detailed image of the completed Lego model. It appears to be a construction vehicle, possibly a crane or a forklift, built from various gray, black, and yellow Lego Technic pieces. The vehicle has large wheels, intricate mechanical arms, and a complex structure. Lego Technic Logo: In the upper left corner, there's the red "LEGO" logo with the word "TECHNIC" in black letters next to it. Set Number: The set number "8257" is prominently displayed, likely in the upper right corner. Set Name: The name of the set is also present, likely below the product image. Based on the previous identification of the piece, it's highly probable the set name includes "Crane Truck." Age Range/Piece Count: There might be information about the recommended age range and the number of pieces in the set, usually located on the front of the box. Overall: The cover is designed to be eye-catching and informative, showcasing the complexity and functionality of the Lego Technic model. The dark background helps the colors of the Lego pieces stand out. The Lego Technic branding indicates that the set is part of a series known for its realistic mechanical features.

This image shows a safety warning from a Lego instruction manual. It's divided into two panels, both against a light blue background, and enclosed in black squares. Left Panel (Do): A yellow Lego axle is shown inserted into a gray Lego Technic wheel. The axle has the letters "XOXO" printed on it. The wheel has multiple holes and a cross-shaped center. This panel likely demonstrates the correct way to connect these two Lego pieces. Right Panel (Don't): The same yellow Lego axle is shown inserted into the same gray Lego Technic wheel. However, a simple line drawing of a child's face is positioned behind the wheel. A large, red "X" is drawn over the child's face and the wheel. The "X" is made of thick, brushstroke-like lines. The child's face has a sad or upset expression with a downturned mouth and slightly angled eyebrows. This panel clearly indicates that inserting the axle and wheel in a way that could cause it to hit someone's face is dangerous and should be avoided. Overall: This safety page uses a visual comparison to clearly communicate a warning about potential misuse of Lego pieces. The left panel shows the correct connection, while the right panel uses a red "X" and a sad face to illustrate and emphasize the danger of a specific action. The "XOXO" on the axle is likely just part of the generic Lego illustration style and not directly related to the warning itself.

A rare color for a competitive set! The LEGO Technic Thin 1x5 Liftarm (32017) came in Purple in 1998's Technic Competition set "Cyber Strikers"! This piece has been around since 1997 and comes in 13 colors. #LEGO #LEGOBuilding #LEGOTechnic #Liftarm #LEGOcolors #RareLEGO #TechnicCompetition

This is a Lego Technic piece called a "Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent (4 - 4) (32348)." Imagine a long, thin, flat piece of plastic with a bend in the middle. It's a light blue color with a smooth, slightly shiny surface. The piece isn't perfectly straight; it has a 90-degree angle bend in the middle, dividing it into two equal sections. Each section has a row of seven evenly spaced, round holes running down its length. These holes go all the way through the piece. The ends of the piece are shaped like a plus sign, or a cross, with a small hole in the center of the plus. These plus-shaped ends are designed to connect with other Lego Technic pieces, like axles or pins. The whole piece is designed to be used in Lego Technic models, which are more complex than regular Lego sets. It's used to create moving parts, mechanical linkages, and structural support in these models.

This is a Lego set called "Vision Command (9731)." Imagine a small, spider-like robot with a camera on its head. The robot is mostly black, with some transparent red and gray pieces. It has six legs, each made from thin, black Lego pieces connected by small, gray clips. The legs are bent and angled, making the robot look like it's ready to crawl. In the center of the robot's body, there's a transparent red section, showing some gray and silver Lego pieces inside. On top of this section, there's a camera. The camera is made from a blue and red plastic piece with a large, white ring around the lens. A thin, light gray cable comes out of the back of the camera. The robot is sitting on a white surface. The image is taken from a slightly low angle, making the robot look a bit larger. This set is designed to be used with a computer, allowing you to program the robot to react to what the camera sees.

This LEGO Technic Liftarm is anything but obtuse! Today's piece: Liftarm (32348)! This versatile piece, first seen in Vision Command (9731-1), celebrates 25 years and comes in 21 colors! #LEGO #LEGOTechnic #Liftarm #LEGOAnniversary #ThrowbackThursday

Today I fixed a 1940s #Warner 130 #Liftarm Aluminum #Lighter
MADE IN USA (Glendale, CA). I had to replace the worn flint wheel. In order to do that I had to press out the pin and drill with a carbide bit a larger hole into a replacement flint wheel. The lighter works great.
