Hi Charles, I've got a pistol grip punch tool, model 600PT8 that does not work. It's likely out of warranty, but is there a kit or some way to rebuild it? I'd really like to be able to punch holes to weld some panels back on my rusty old mustang ;-)

Thanks for the info Charles. I spoke several times with Ruben in your technical department troubleshooting my 600PT8 punch tool. We ultimately concluded it needs to be sent in for repair/refurbishment. I shipped it off today. Ruben seemed very knowledgeable and was patient with my multiple phone calls trying to fix the problem. I feel confident that he will get me all fixed up and punching holes in panels again in no time :)

Do you have a part number or suggested retail on your hose clamp plier cable repair kit? Either way, at 37 bucks on tooltopia, seems like a deal.

Quick feedback on your master balljoint press set that I bought. Used it today to press out two upper balljoints on my 96 4Runner which has spent pretty much its entire life in PEI, Canada(major rust, as bad as it gets). I have no reason to believe that the balljoints have ever been replaced and they were very seized in. Aside from fiddling with the right adapters and finding out which would work, it was about 5 minutes to press both out, hand tight with a 1/2" ratchet then a few whacks with a hammer on the side of the steering knuckle, rinse and repeat. They pressed out pretty well effortlessly! Thanks Astro, great product and even better price!

I have a PowerMig 110 I bought around 2000. I used it on occasion and worked well. I have used it on occasion since but not much activity. I cannot remember if I had a manual for it? I presume I did and if I did, I lost it. Is there a link online to a PDF of the manual? I'm going to be doing some thin metal (body panels) welding shortly and I forget how to use or set my regulator. It's a single gauge type.

Thanks,
