Wow. $4.24 shipped with tax. Cant go wrong, I bought a set. I don't work on many VAG products but some day this may save me 4 dollars in hassle.

I have a HF saw with the swag plate. I use the thing way more than I ever expected

If its on the engine check with the engine mfg. Not sure who made the engines in the 443 but on the bigger units I go straight to kubota for those parts

WOW:eyecrazy:

These have gotten me out of a few tight spots before.

My personal preference is a used commercial machine. They are built to last and are really tough. Also easier to get parts for IMO. I think your budget supports a gently used (1-2 seasons) commercial machine. Though, I do understand shopping for one kind of ***** and contractors are gearing up...

I had these same thoughts when I built my roof. Mine sat for maybe 2 weeks uncovered in the rain. Absolutely no damage. A few saw cut edges swelled up a little but dried right out once the weather warmed up and I papered and shingled it.

I heat my 950sq ft 18' ceiling shop with waste oil. The garage is block walls and an non insulated wood roof(rafters) For collecting oil I have a 275 gallon home heating oil tank out back. I welded a bung at the lowest point of the tank to collect and drain off any water/antifreeze that I get...

Im surprised there isnt more love for Benchmark Abrasives here. I run their flap discs, cut off wheels, and roloc sanding discs. I go through 30 or so flap disks a year and maybe 60 roloc sanding discs. Maybe I would get more life out of a different brand but at 2.** a 4.5" flat disc I cant...

I had this happen too actually. I think the welding slightly anneals the nut material. If the nut and the bolt are both soft they will gall.

Very common in places with nicer weather. Saw many people with them outdoors in western USA and PR

Good old single jingle KA

I still have mine and use it fairly often! Ive had some trigger wire problems I soldered back together but thats been it. This thing has paid for itself many times and owes me nothing

I have 3 scopes and they all have their strong points. I bought a pretty base model PICO. Its not an "automotive" scope so I don't get access to the waveform database. It was like 180 dollars or something. Its fast enough for all engine diagnostics that ive gotten into. Mainly scoping crank/cam...
