First let me be clear, these are NOT for sale. My neighbor was given these by his father-in-law, who was a mechanic in the 50s and 60s. He plans to clean them up, mount them in a display case and give them back to him as a Christmas gift. He doesn't care, but I want to know if these are as...

I thought they weren't announcing it until April 1. I also don't need any hole saws but I'll be grabbing a couple of the sizes I use most. These are nice enough that I'll gladly chuck my "regular" hole saws. lenoxunplugged

At the risk of prolonging a 3-5 year-old thread, is there a convenient source for Alpolic in less-than full case quantities?

I bought the cheaper one in August. Actually, I bought two in case the first one took a **** in the middle of the job. I pulled around 4000 rivets with it over the weekend and only had to adjust it a few times (maybe every 1000 rivets or so.) For some reason, it didn't shoot the mandrels out...

Try 3M VHB tape: http://www.mcmaster.com/#vhb-tape/=ackdxg At a previous job we used it to repair 53 foot trailers and certain Pace trailers are built using it instead of screws or rivets. It's very strong stuff.

I tried to nip each piece as short as possible so the protrusions aren't too bad. If I was more **** I might spend some time with a dremel smoothing them out. I had some in an aerosol spray from a long past project but it was solidified. Again, if I was more ****...:o

Blatantly stolen from other posters: Wire desk organizer found at the dollar store, snipped the little cross pieces off and flipped it over. Good enough!

Got it today, thanks! I look forward to getting the toolbox...;)

Thanks, Andres! Now, if I could only find a deal on one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ship to the US...

Can you just mill 3mm off the Ebay pads?
