If you are already into the Bosch battery architecture or are thinking about getting into it, this is a cracker deal...especially if you have been thinking of getting a Multi-tool. You can flog the battery and charger on Ebay for at least $100 ($250 to buy new) if you don't need it and you will...

Nice work...

Well, at least the average tax payer in AU isn't subsidising to make the ****! We probably blow that money on the NDIS now so I feel much better...:rolleyes: I have had 3 German cars; 2 x Golfs and a BMW, never been back to the dealers for anything except servicing. All under 100000km though so...

I bought this weather station not expecting much...luckily. It didn't last 12 months. The plastic over the solar panel frosted over from UV! An ants nest in the battery compartment supplied the coup de grâce. The ants nest issue could be managed but the solar panel cover was diabolical...

So how many kms are on your work ute? You know, the foreign made one you use as a daily driver and work vehicle? The one that you actually have to rely on to make a living? Had any issues with it?

Actually it's not in my opinion. Getting rid of highly unionised and subsidised car manufacturing was the best thing we ever did. Assembling (it wasn't that much manufacturing involved at the end) sub-standard designs to people who didn't want the products was madness...it should of died 10~20...

The ZF 6HP26 was a 6 cylinder or N/A V8 gearbox. Rated for 600Nm max. The Boss 355 produced around 570~580Nm. It was at its limit unfortunately...I would suspect this is one of the reasons why they didn't develop it to its potential. The ZF 6HP32 would of been a good swap but as you mentioned...

Input shaft. They didn't want to put a decent (ie, rated for the torque of what they could of done with the coyote) gearbox in it. It could barely cope as it was.

There was also the ZF auto gearbox issue...you know about that right?

Both. The second one out of curiosity, I think the author may of been cashing in on the first, particularly after the death of the other co-author. Authors and particularly publishers cant help themselves but hey, they sucked me in! So the question is; whats the next cycle going to...

A lot of investors have sectors that they wont invest. Some don't like nuclear energy/mining, some don't like weapon production, some don't like fossil fuels or visa versa. Some (like me) wont touch property (maybe commercial is OK). Sometimes things don't align with their ethics or values no...

I didn't think I had heard of him but when I searched the name I realised I'd ran across him before. I did a deep dive into finance a decade or so ago and discovered two things - 1. For every really smart person in engineering/science (I'm an [average] engineer), there are 100 in finance. 2...

Bit of background if/when you have the time Knuckle - what got you all-in on HD? Anything special that you are keeping your eye out to acquire?

Didn't Gann's son say his father made more money selling his technique than actual trading? Glad it's working out for you though. (y)

Try importing something yourself in bulk...you will have your answer.

Here's a project for you...built/assembled right there in Qld. too... ;)

Kranzle

I'm surprised that station has both a sponge and the brass wool cleaner. Wet sponges are a bit of a no-no with modern plated tips. The wet sponge shocks the hot tip and causes micro cracks in the plating. When the flux gets under the plating the tip is done for quickly.

There was a time, with Bosch gear anyway, where you could buy a cordless drill without the rotary hammer function and those tools were lighter and shorter. Now every cordless drill they make (even in the 12V range :rolleyes:) is a combi drill! I got a Bosch cordless SDS for this reason, let it...

Has anyone noticed a difference in blade quality? Are they all pumped out of the same factory or is someone doing something better? I notice Stanley & Dewalt advertising Carbide edged blades...anyone used them? Ceramics?
