    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    I'm about $1000 into it but have enough to do at least two vehicles. Mercedes wanted $2500 and I'm not even sure if they were going to replace the hard lines. Could have done it for alot less but I like tools, what can I say hahaha.

    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    This is the line that I bought. I also bought the same fitting set. They actually cut it with a tube cutter.

    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    The line that I bought (SUR&R Ultrabend) is triple annealed supposedly very easy to work with and form. But I'll keep an eye out for any issues with cutting. Thanks.

    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    Thanks I'll keep that in mind but am inclined to use tube cutter only because I think it will do a better job at keeping ends square. I'll experiment with it if I have any problems with forming flare. I bought the SUR&R version of that plier. It looks very similar if not the same anyway...

    Can spray foam be used to fill an inaccessible void between a finished floor and a concrete slab?

    I don't have any direct experience with this but believe it would be possible. Are you talking about DIY with cans or a small tank or having a pro come in with a pump? Pro may have a long wand or tube that can reach in to the inaccessible areas. You probably want to be careful with type of...

    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    Ordered a bunch of stuff today. 100' SUR & R brake line and a fitting assortment. SUR & R deburring tool and line forming plier. An OTC tube bending plier. A line straightener. A pretty high end Ridgid tube bender. And the OEM rubber brake lines that go from hard line to caliper. I know...

    my lathe, what to do

    Damn I don't know what I'd be more upset about that they broke it or didn't say anything about it. People around here would know better than me but that looks like a total loss. Sorry about that good luck with moving company.

    Looking to make simple plastic hinges for birdhouses.

    What about a piece of nylon strap with staples or screws to hold in place?

    Milwaukee M18 Tire Inflator Thoughts?

    Just following up on this. Had inflator several weeks and its awesome. Never would have expected I'd like or use it so much. The Milton chucks work great don't feel any need to buy the Locinflate or other high end chuck. The Milton and adapter was about twenty bucks for two of each. Heavy...

    Rate my 1/4" and 3/8" ratchet drawer along with my screwdriver drawer

    Hes away at school hasn't seen it yet. I did tell him he had another cool tool in his collection though 😀 My son has been wanting a motorcycle (road) for a long time so far we've been successful keeping him from getting one. I fear its only a matter of time though. Not worried so much about...

    Honda Crank Bolt - Using Old High (Mid by Today Standards) Torque Impact, Will it be Enough?

    I was just talking about using the tool above and in video to hold crank while you remove crank bolt. I know what you're talking about though have to buy a set for my son's car. Not sure if they are available or even needed on the Honda. Just don't want to spin motor backwards while removing...

    Honda Crank Bolt - Using Old High (Mid by Today Standards) Torque Impact, Will it be Enough?

    I wouldn't think a crank bolt would shear but don't have a ton of experience with this. I would lock crank down no matter how you go about it dont want to spin engine in reverse. Doubt a single row of batteries is going to do it that sounds like a 2.0 or something. Also suggest marking...

    Honda Crank Bolt - Using Old High (Mid by Today Standards) Torque Impact, Will it be Enough?

    My 1/2 Milwaukee is a dog with the 5.0 XC but a beast with my high demand 9.0... that's why I asked about battery.

    Honda Crank Bolt - Using Old High (Mid by Today Standards) Torque Impact, Will it be Enough?

    What battery are you using with the impact? Do you have the tool to lock down crank while you're removing bolt?

    That's awesome. Whenever I buy something new I ask my son if he wants to see his new tool and see what its used for. Its all his at the end of the day...

    I think one of my tool truck drivers has had it with non payers

    Technically speaking... if they don't charge interest and balance is extended over a long enough period of time (months or years) IRS could demand interest be imputed but seriously doubt that ever happens in real world. If dealer is big enough their accountant may do that. It wouldn't add any...
