I agree, use the existing contactors and modify the control circuitry. Post a wiring diagram if you have one and need help. Those 2 terminals on the left side look interesting as it looks like there is a jumper between them, maybe a safety circuit you could wire a switch in there. Or looks like...

They're called torque adapters, for use with a torque wrench when a socket won't fit. Snap on makes some, as well as many other brands. If you use torque adapter set for a search term you will have better luck finding them. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Recently needed a socket for a lock nut and took some digging to figure out. I needed the tfms 11 for 75mm locknuts. Obviously on the list of not unless I need it due to being stupid expensive, but I've not run across them before. Used to press the brake drum on to the largest size Montgomery...

If you want a fixed handle, I haven't seen better than the lenox. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009IBQC4/?tag=atomicindus08-20

That's awesome, I was not aware they had the service manuals on their website. I have a powermax 45 to fix after i finish up a few miller welders, and that will make the process much easier.

It depends what your definition of repairable is. From what I've seen the name brand manufacturers price replacement boards at the point where you might as well buy a whole new cutter/welder once out of warranty. If you mean actually repairable as in fixing the boards, I've had quite a bit of...

I recently fixed one of these as well, similar damage to the power resistor. It also took out the boost igbts. Replaced those and found out it also took out the gate resistors. Replaced those and immediately blew the boost igbts again. Replaced them again and the igbt driver chip and back in...

I believe it does. I have all 3 sizes of the carlyle and took them apart to grease, which improved them significantly. It was awhile ago but a heart shaped spring seems familiar. I don't remember it being difficult to disassemble. You remove the screw on the button then pull the selector off and...

MIP Thorp is known in the rc community for being very high quality drivers. The MIP9000 would be a very good option. Mostly available at hobby type sites. https://www.horizonhobby.com/thorp-hex-driver--050-mip9000

I use the unit above. Mine is blue and was cheap on ebay, works flawlessly. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The small one is also adjustable, I'd turn it way down and work up to prevent cracking tile. On it's hardest setting I think it is a little lighter than the big box store variety like the empire one or harbor freight. It might only feel like that though because it is so much smoother. Sent...

Starret 18C, it's adjustable from almost too hard to push and leaves a crater. I adjust it down a bit and it leaves a good size mark and not nearly as hard to push down.

Mine don't do that, maybe there is a bad batch. I've been using those for a couple years now. They are stored vertically in my tool bag, and seem to last a lot longer than regular sharpies or milwaukee sharpies. I gave a few out to coworkers and they now buy them as well because they find they...

Harbor freight has dies with a split in them as well. Came in handy when fixing the threads on a prop shaft on a boat. Spun the prop off and the steel was too hard to thread a normal hardware store die on, actually broke it trying. Ran the split die on at its loosest setting first and it was no...

I find it makes a big difference on the big impacts, 3/4 drive brushless milwaukee. When i am taking big stuff apart and it won't take the bolts loose after a couple seconds of hammering away. Swap batteries and it comes off without any delay, when the battery reads less than full it won't touch...
