I use a small, narrow punch. Usually firmly pressing on the end will mark the wood/plaster/etc. and for really deep holes a scribe does the trick, like this one: https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews/lisle-31800-double-ended-scribe-review/ If that’s too faint to see easily from all angles it’s...

Welcome!

Picked up a Nepros ratchet... it's one heck of a thing, so compact! Next to my existing ratchet of the same drive size: I hadn't realised that they presented their hardware so nicely: More pics/review here...

Finally got around to taking some pics of the wrench I got a week back... it's one nice piece of kit. More pics/thoughts here: https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews/nepros-NBRC390L-review-ktc-9-5-mm-3-8-inch-90-tooth-compact-head-long-ratchet-japanese-made/

Welcome!

Picked up a 3756z quick spinner: Has already been worth the asking price by making a couple of jobs way easier. Should have got something like this years ago... More pics here: https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews/koken-ko-ken-3756z-z-series-zeal-quick-spinner-9.5-3-8-inch-review/ Also did...

Sorry to hear that. I haven't been here long but he seemed a top bloke.

No. I have some Taiwanese made ratchets that have stood up to years of use with no worries and some brand new Taiwanese ones of another brand that are junk in comparison.

Finished a Dawn 6LQ - a 1960s approx. quick release 6" vice: More pics here: https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews/dawn-9027-6lq-quick-release-bench-vise-vice-vintage-semi-steel-antique-australian-made-restoration-review/ Also did a video of the quick release function - first time I have...

Finished up a Dawn vice yesterday that had the prettiest main nut I have ever seen: More pics here. I also did a video of the quick release function, as I have been long curious how they work in the Dawns but had never had one in my hands to look at. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

I’m keen on the 1/4” set too... I got the 3/8” not long ago - beaut set, has been really helpful for access in tight spots and they’re top notch sockets. My initial thoughts and a size comparison: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8I_BIXu5Aoc" frameborder="0"...

I use less than 1:10 and don't leave the carbs in for more than an hour at a time else they go grey and furry, kinda like what you're seeing there. I'm pretty sure 1:1 for an hour would cause surface corrosion/oxidation/whatever it is.

What was the ratio of simple green to water that you used? How long did you leave it in the ultrasonic for?

Thanks! I find it hard to watch videos that take ages to get to the point so I tried to make it succinct. I have to do some more on other stuff from Ko-ken, Keiba, Engineer, Wise and Nepros...

Welcome!

Congrats! That looks like a great space...

Did a Carter 3": Into: More pics and some measurements here: https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews/carter-75mm-3-inch-engineers-cast-bench-vice-vise-restoration-review-australian-made/ Such a cute little thing... here it is next to a 6" Dawn:

Have been playing with a Ko-ken attack driver this past week and put up a short video on it: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s5VR1Nh2mw0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>...

Got my first Ko-Ken tools today... very impressed. Did a quick video to celebrate - will be taking some proper pics of them and doing some more comparisons later. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8I_BIXu5Aoc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay...
