Hey! I've been using this little 81SV torpedo level for a while now and like it. It's got a rotating vial that you can use as a protractor: There are 'special' markings for 45 and 22.5 degrees which make a lot of sense but there are also two special markings that intrigue me. At 55 degrees...

Hey! I've been on the lookout for a good source for AMP PIDG terminals (not the plastigrips), but it seems the only option is to buy them seperately? The only kits i've seen contain other terminals too and some crimptool. Insanely priced too. Anyone knows of a reasonable selection? Thanks

I've been looking long and hard at different brake line flaring tools (my current bubble flaring tool ***** balls). After a while (and by reading GJ) I thought I had it with the Cal-Van Master inline flaring set (https://cal-vantools.com/products/master-inline-flaring-set/). Not too expensive...

http://www.facom.be/producten/3-in-1-Schroevendraaier-Beschrijving.html?request_locale=nl I was looking for some info/opinions on this screwdriver, but couldn't find anything on this forum :eyecrazy: Must be really new. Anyone seen one or owns one? Is it any good? It looks like it has some...

Hi, I'm a bit lost in the colourful world of connections and fittings, so here's a thread about threads :p I've been reading up on the different systems; BSP, UNF, NPT, whithworth and whatnot. But what actually prompted this search is still a mystery Somebody gave me a soldering/brazing...

Hi, Bought this Stahlwille Manoskop torque wrench secondhand for €30, which I thought was a nice deal. I noticed that after torquing a nut, you manually had to push back the head to it's 'pre click' location, before you could start torquing another one. The seller said this was normal for this...

mmmm

Hi, I picked these up at a flee market: Klauke K74/2. I don't have an immediate need for crimping bnc connectors, but the thing was only 10 bucks, heavy and well built; you know how it goes :p I was thinking of putting a different die set in there (specifically for unisolated terminals and...

Just finished maintenance on my 37 year old Briggs & Stratton motor. Cleaned the airfilter out, now I was wondering, what is the best way to oil it after letting it dry? Do I need to get the spray can with special air filter oil, or is this one of those marketing deals where they charge you 5...

I've been meaning to get one of these victorinox swisstools: http://www.victorinox.com/ch/product/Swiss-Army-Knives/Category/SwissTools/SwissTool-115-mm/SwissTool-III-in-leather-pouch/3.0327.L and started looking at some reviews. I normally hate these youtube unboxings and videos made by...

Hey, I was just wondering what kind of software for servicing and wiring diagrams you European techs in independent workshops use? I really like the wiring diagrams in mitchell, but they only cover cars that are imported into North America. A lot of brands and models, common here in Europe...

:wtf: Now my real question, can you simply (tig?) weld an exhaust pipe, or is it some sort of galvanized (sendzimir?, zincor?) steel? Thanks!

http://www.wiha.com/de/produkte/sonderwerkzeuge/wiha-gripper.html Has anyone used or even seen one of these? Apparently claims to wrench bolts ranging from 7 to 19 mm and everything in between (SAE). I'm curious to as to how it operates and how well.

I've got the opportunity to buy a Wera 7003 (made by norbar) secondhand for €60. However, some are opposed to buying torque wrenches secondhand, what's the reasoning behind that?:dunno: If it looks good and almost unused, isn't that a safe bet? Or is there something special to look out for? Thanks!

Hi, For some time now I've got a tiny wiha bit ratchet. I really like it and have found a lot of use for it, but lately the backdrag is starting to annoy me. When I first got it, I put a little bit of grease in there, but that completely locked it up and I had to clean it out again. Tried some...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my set off precision screwdrivers and I was wondering what you guys thought of the ESD versions of these type screwdrivers. I've been working on electronic components for some type with the cheapest kind of metal screwdrivers there are and never had any problems with...

Hi, While the Ms. was slicing bread with our 30 year old krups bread slicer, an awful loud squeaking sound was being produced. I went ahead, unscrewed the large knife and sprayed a moderate amount of silicone spray on the area where the knife contacts the plastic wall. When I plugged it in and...

Hi there, I'm looking to buy some new Wiha bits, but I'm a bit lost as to which type of their bits I should purchase. There are many different types: http://www.wiha.com/en/produkte/bits.html Maxxtor Durabit Diamant-Torsion Tin-torsion Zot-Torsion Hot-Torsion Inkra RVS Standard I'm not...
