    sometimes you want to drift something other than a pin and you need a little more accuracy than just whacking it with the hammer directly. like if you want to tap off an AK front sight and/or gas block. i'd use brass but AK don't care... <shrug>

    Dewalt Deals

    I got the $100-110 20V one from woot earlier this year. put a husky T35 head on it that's made it even better. been great. spins 080 line really well. tried some 095 for giggles and it struggles but if 080 is enough, it's light and easy to use. Depending on the kid's age and how weedy the...

    Tools of Japan

    well then, here's some... :) I bought a couple on tekton's website when they went clearance a couple? months ago. not the exact set but a smaller case - most likely the same tools. they work nice. almost as nice a driver as my old ifixit. 10x better than the cheapo sets. worth it for me...

    The repurposing thread

    I "decided" to F my hands up by falling 14 feet onto them. I have learned to tuck my pinky underneath anything I pick up so it doesn't just slide right through and smash when the gravity b*tch grabs it.

    i've heard it called a magic fingers layout tool. It's so you can evenly space things out. think of it like an adjustable jig. stretch it out and the fingers spread evenly. i have one and have used it for many things over the years... you're making something and want 5 holes evenly spaced...

    i call this type of tool a "fencing spoon." I made mine years ago; out of an old piece of copper tubing: hammered one end flat, drilled a hole in the flattened end and did a little shaping with a file. probably plenty of YT vids on these - "fencing wire wrapping tool" or something like that...
