    Show your new tool arrivals

    This arrived today: I was really looking for a cheap battery powered impact for tire change etc, but saw this one on sale for 150€ (170ish american). IR equivalent would have cost me twice that much here, so this felt like a good deal for hobby use.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Local sale, found few things I've been missing once or twice. Qualitywise, nothing too impressive (even channellocks were a small disappointment, but they were dead cheap). But I think evrything will work as a backup, wich is the plan.

    Tools from the old world

    Orange Fiskars are one of the greatest scissors in the world. Don't really know about the current ones but the pair we have in daily kitchen use is propably 20 years old. I've destroyed couple of cheaper black fiskars scissors in shop use over time, but you really can't blame scissors if you...

    Teach me on my welds

    Well that's confusing. :headscrat I'm not native, so next time I should crank the 4-stage power switch up and turn my wire speed down. Is this right? Great videos, will watch! Hopefully not. :lol: I'm not even aiming to be a pro/class welder, just learn something new and bring old skills back.

    Teach me on my welds

    Wow, lots of replays! Thank you guys. The pipe was just something that I needed to do and thought to do some training rather than using clamps. I did some longer seems also, but they suffered from the lack of shielding gas wich was blown away. I'll get proper material for next time I'm with...

    There isn't one. I'm gone through the internet many times, all aluminium jack I can find seem to be made in China. I'm planning to keep cheap chinese one in the back of my car, and purchase a good quality trolley jack for garage use. For those there are 3 options in Europe: Ac, Mega and Compac...

    Good Quality 3/8 Socket Set - Facom or Span On

    ...so both sets will last forever. I'd go with the Facom set, for cheaper price and propably easier warranty. At least in here there isn't many snappy trucks driving along. Oh wait, I already went that route. :D

    Air line feed from compressor

    This works well. Air lines in my cousins garage are done like this and have worked well for some years now. Of course it's not as pretty as a copper line, but fast and easy to put on. And it's cheap.
