Thank you. Nothing flammable to worry about. Yes, hot tank not an option. Can I solder over old brazing.

I have no experience with welding or brazing. I have a vintage motorcycle gas tank that has a leak and also needs a couple studs attached. I literally cannot find anyone in my area that could do this. I guess people that weld don't braze. What am I missing.

Hi Guys, I am trying to make a heat shield for this exhaust pipe. I want to make nice cuts on this 20g perforated metal. What tool do you think I should use. Thank you

sprocket from a motorcycle

Thank you! I am talking something like a 5 inch sprocket that has a 2.5 inch diameter bearing

Hi Guys, I don't have room for a floor press or I would buy one. Is there another tool out there, so I can avoid the hammer and socket approach to removing and reinstalling. Thank you

My garage floor is very dirty and greasy after car restoration projects.

Hey Guys, are these surface washers mostly for dirt and mold, or will they cut through tough stains like a 0-degree nozzle? Thank you!

Guys, I have the M12 polisher. I can't find a solution to use 2" foam buffing pads. Is this possible. I need to get in a tight place. Thank you!

Thank you! I have the brand new Dewalt cut off wheel on it.

Hey Guys, I picked up this tool at noticed a few things. It vibrates a lot just holding it in your hand. Is this expected. Also, just listening to it run it does not sound like it running at no load speed of 20,000 RPM. What do you think. Thank you!

Hey Guys, do you know of a click style 3/8 in. Drive Professional Split Beam Torque Wrench that is easy to read the scale. Right now I use a magnifying glass to set my wrenches. :)

Is there a consensus for removing the guard when you use a wire wheel. I want to remove 50 year old paint, grease and rust from car parts. Also, for the the other side, I was looking at this.

Where do you buy your stuff. Amazon only seems to have a few. Have you seen the Prymemx stuff?

I got my first ever bench grinder. I don't know why I waited 30 years. In my home shop, I don't grind metal. I mostly clean rust off bolts, tools and car parts. I've been using a dremel and wire wheels on a drill. So I pulled the grinding wheels off and want to do like a wire wheel on one...
