    Re-purposing an old coffee grinder

    wow, that is a nice project! I have got some brass screws that would really complete the look as setscrews to hold your copper plate in. 1/4-20 x 3/8 through 3". Let me know if you want a couple and I'd be glad to put a couple in the mail for you.

    Make small nuts and bolts hold fast?

    JJThrasher reminded me of another of my favorite ways to make nuts and bolts hold, screw it down and tighten, then cut off the bolt leaving like 1/8" or so, the use your ball pein hammer to pein the remaining threads of the bolt down.

    Make small nuts and bolts hold fast?

    I would use loctite, or a nylon lock nut, or a spring lock washer. Over-tightening something is never the way to get a screw and nut to hold!

What would the experts of GJ pay for this one...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    think that version will offer more power? the one-key is interesting, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the extra coin.. plus one more crucial system to break! i'd love to have it though, set up a program for mower blades, truck lugs, bobcat lugs, etc.

    I've been looking and about to pull the trigger on the 2763 1/2" impact wrench.. before I do, does anyone know if there might be a new version released in the near future? I don't want to buy something and then have it be old, right away!
