    Tool for gripping T40 “cam’d - out” Button Head 6MM Steel Bolt in Aluminum

    maybe not in every scenario but on more than one occasion i have seen guys including me heat the bolt red hot and it doesnt move. leave the bolt "cold" and heat the surrounding area and it comes loose. similar to a cold bearing not moving on a shaft. heat it up and it falls in place or falls off.

    Tekton tin snips

    if you look up that address it looks like a rather small warehouse located between a used car dealership and a cleaning service. it really doesn't prove anything. i didn't fully watch the videos but i doubt there is anything in them to to prove anything is made at that location the building is...
