Little mini saw that I use a lot. WAS my dads, now mine, and I'M 71. Couldn't find blades the right size. Everything I found was too long by about a quarter inch so I mig welded in a section to use standard blades.
I use my SPEED HANDLES a LOT more than I would ever use those wrenches. I alwas thought they were broke! I use my speed handles to run the bolts in on oil pans so they don't get away from me. Also use my 1/4" handle to get the side bolts out of the John Deer side covers. It's easier than...
Personally, I'd just use a pipe wrench and sad out the scratches. You're going to refinish it anyway. Antenna escutcheon socket from the 80's is really close though.
I LIKE to use cutoff wheels if I have one handy, and I usually do! fast, easy, and don't leave that ridge like tubing cutters. If the cutoff wheel isn't available, just a hack saw. Usually use a rat tailed file when I can't see the reamer.
My best is my CP/SKIL model 723(CP) or 1120/1123(SKIL) impact guns. They are 3/8" drive and you can get them into places no other impact can go. My collection NOW counts to 10 so I'm done.
I don't know if anybody has every brought this up but is there any interchangeability between any brands of lithium batteries for tools? I was just curious as the dewalts are just SO stinking expensive. Never saw any chart to show such but thought I'd ask. Mike.
Love the torx construction fasteners with the outside coatings. MUCH better that phillips for outside stuff. Like stated above, get the right tip. A lot of times, the containers have the correct bit in the box WITH them. You end up with several when you do much.
