Technic liftarms

A simple but useful technique if you are limited in your piece selection. Depending on the mold of your pieces you can find that the symmetry doesn't line up 100%. This can result in one of the plates with handles not staying flush with the plate at the bottom without additional force.

To find the different pieces needed for this technique you can search LEGO's online Pick-a-Brick for the design ID's. We link other market places directly on each individual piece page, which you can find below.

Story Time

Steve and John did their job every day, yet they never stopped to consider that their tools might be too small for the task. After all: everything is cool when you're part of a team.

How this works

It's a pretty standard site search, but I'm trying to make it smarter day by day. You can currently search for techniques, parts, sets and contributors. If you can't find what you're looking for contact me and I'll try to help you along and make this better.
