<<<Angle Grinder! Thread a nut on first, cutting disc to cut it to length, flap disc to chamfer the cut end slightly, and winding the nut off cleans up the thread.>> Don't! Just buy stainless screws, nuts and bolts on eBay.

I really don't have room for a roller box right now. Looking at something benchtop like this: here

My son works at Menards and I can get a discount on a battery charger. I would like a robust one that can charge batteries in motorcycles, cars, trucks, and what not. I have some low amp ones connected to motorcycles but I want a larger conventional battery charger ... Here are the choices...

The first day I showed up at the cabinet shop, a place I would work for seven years, I was ready to geek out on routers and plunge depths and dados and rails .. the guy who trained me in cut to the chase and said "It's a box. Don't overthink it."

1981 Kawasaki gauges.

We've been through the gamut of trying to repair the rings on old Kawasaki speedometers and tachs for the last 15 years. Welding, gluing, soldering, etc. Nothing works, hence my question about a small round shaped press.

Wow! I have not seen one with the bags ... pretty much ever but for sure not in 40 years. Wonderful old Yamaha. Good job on bringing it back. Of course you know that bike will probably bring upwards of $28 million bucks on that Bring a Trailer (of cash) auction site.

Amazing craftsmanship on those restored gauges. You are an artist!

Here is a photo to better illustrate what I am trying to do ...

I lend tools out. For a while I'd buy any cheap tool at a garage sale. I keep them in a different box in a different garage and those are the ones that I lend out most of the time. Most of the time they come back.

There must be some sort of device or crimping tool that will allow one to crimp those silver bands which hold old Japanese instruments together?? Anyone who has had a 1970s Honda speedometer apart then tried to get it back together knows the band/crimp/seal that I mean ...

Gotta nope out as the kids say.

No the Tekton ones are very nice and solid.

No. That they have fallen out, with the circlip, over the years. So the tool has failed. See, when I bought these, THIRTY YEARS AGO they had a lifetime warranty. I had other ones I could use, but put these in a drawer for a mass return some day. I threw them away this afternoon. "made in...

Not looking good. Oh well. I bought these tools in 1991!

Over the years the circlips fell out, then the hex, and now I am left with a drawer of these. I'd heard they will still warranty if you send the item in?

NESS!!!! YOU ARE HERE TOO???!!!

I'd like to get a new, small bench drill press. Initially I'd like to use it to drill holes in small bolts and nuts for safety wire. Any recommendations? I'd like a designated unit, not one that uses a drill or a dremel.

Sometime I think those boxes are more tradition than usefulness. Do I own two? Yes, yes I do.

One word: motorcycles.
