$250 sounds about right. Do you remember the capacity of it?

[X_Factor]

I have that twin set, i think it's maybe $250.

One can going strong after 2 years, have not even used the second one yet.

u should interchange the usage between them, if there are rubber seals onthe trigger and pump it may eventually dry rot and that could even be accelerated depending onwhere they are stored

[MonsterPower]

if u do spraying on a regular basis you should look at the jacto brand at any agi shop.
Cant rember the price but i have one about 4 yrs now ,use it twice a month and it works for me .

True, packed in a box somewhere. Will put some use on it.

@ NR8, they are 2 Gal each.

Bought a single 2 Gal at Bhags Piarco a few years back for $99, lasted a few years too until i dropped it and cracked it, hence the Pmart pair.

[Strugglerzinc]

I'll be bringing a steel one via sea freight sometime before the end of the year. Should cost <$2k TTD landed.

Sea freight through Laparkan then Transbrokerage. Either that or may check Raptor.

I looked at that Powerzone but my car is lower than it's minimum lift height. Also does not state if it's single or dual piston.

Already have one of the Pmart jacks for $900, it's single piston and it takes a lot of effort to pump. Don't want a single piston again.

I concur on not getting a small jack again, unless you keeping it in the vehicle. I bought one @ Tool Store and it barely gets the wheel off the ground.

[X_Factor]

got this today
http://www.amazon.com/3320-02-120-Volt- ... rill+press

cost me 1350 to bring myself

[pugboy]

ouch
I got a delta one a few years back from pillai tools on sale for $700

[X_Factor]

wish i could hav gotten a deal like that!

newest toy

[Strugglerzinc]

That's total cost?

[pugboy]

What is the slowest rpm it turns ?
Mine is still too fast on slowest for drilling serious metal

[X_Factor]

yeah 1350 total, weighs 25kgs

[MonsterPower]

Xfactor i have one like that and am lookig for the clamp/hold down thingy to keep my metal from flying all over the place or have to hold with a visegrip

[X_Factor]

5 speeds belt driven
570
900
1390
2050
3050

i must say its well built, heavy and strong

here is the press vise, price cheap but has some weight

[pugboy]

I think mine is about same speeds,
for serious cutting and not overheating and dulling the bits 300rpm or less is better

[Chimera]

25kg weight....you skybox that in?

[X_Factor]

I think mine is about same speeds,
for serious cutting and not overheating and dulling the bits 300rpm or less is better

check that one out starts at 170rpm
http://www.amazon.com/Delta-18-900L-18- ... rill+press

[pugboy]

that one starts at a high price too
this is mine which is pretty much similar to all in that class.
there is a third party mod to put another pulley to reduce the speed

[nervewrecker]

Liquid plastic, anyone knows where sells it?

And if I can score some mesh wire too that will be nice. stiffer the better but with medium sized holes (to do a automobile grill)

[Chimera]

anyone seen the

Bosch 11255VSR BULLDOG Xtreme 1-Inch SDS-plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer

selling locally?

its 165 US online, if it costs around $1800 locally I might as well buy locally

[X_Factor]

give home mart in elsocorro a call, i saw alot of bosch tools there


check out the dewalt, it has more amperage and torque

[Chimera]

i`m in el socorro every other day so ill pass in

I called around this morning, It cost $1700 at Allied Industrial on Scotts street Sando.

But the DEWALT D25213K 1-Inch D-Handle Three Mode SDS Hammer cost $149 on Amazon rite now (price lowered from US $169). The Dewalt is a much better drill than the BOSCH.

This model Dewalt cost $1780 at Southern Supplies

[Chimera]

^^^

thanks for suggestion

looking at reviews now and at that price i might as well buy locally

[pugboy]

if you looking to drill 1" and over better to invest in a real Hilti
there is no comparison at all
