^ those are the sheit!!
i bought a 10/11mm tekton for 15$, worked sweet but didnt last too long, if i "broke" the bolt/nuts and used it to take of it probably would have last longer

might order this and collect it when i head up miami in april

Saw something similar at Home Mart in El Socorro a few months back.

Didn't look too closely so can't say if it was good or a POS.

what u all think?

[Rooki3]

Any local reviews on mini excavators?

[Strugglerzinc]

$104.99 @ Home Store

Small to 1 1/2". Not DeWalt or Irwin but B&D not too bad.

[- Rovin's car audio -]

wow that works out to about $8 for each bit - for home use\occasional use u cant go wrong there at all ....

[X_Factor]

^amazon has it for about 14USD so that price is excellent
and
i think bhags in trincity has that for a bit less as well....

[pugboy]

this I suspect like the socket sets is another case of you only use a few of them

I have a set of the Forstner bits and they work a lot better but a little slower.

[kurpal_v2]

Anyone know where I could get a torx t5 screwdriver to buy locally?





^^ Like that tip.


Cheaper the better, I just need it for one use so..

[rfari]

Pamela's on tumpuna road before ansa warehouse has. Not sure for how much tho

[kurpal_v2]

Anyone here willing to sell/rent their's?


I literally have 4 screws to take out but mine somewhere in a tool-kit in south

[X_Factor]

only have T5 in a bit...if u want that borrow no probs
hav T6 like the pic posted above
located around uwi
pm if u still need it

[X_Factor]

so i need to do a lil servicing on the circular saw and angle grinder
power cord burst at the plug and at the tool where it enters

anyone knows where i can get replacement cords or a good service shop?

the wire in the cords are 18g i believe....what about changing it to rhino cable?

[Strugglerzinc]

Bought one of these and modified it to fit when the guy cut my circular saw cord. $18

I don't have the Quik Lok setup but the cord can be adapted for anything.

Rhino can work, 2.5mm can do 15A easily. I personally just don't like the look of a made up cord.

Step Bit. $13 Amazon. No duty or Vat.

Great if you need to make small holes bigger in sheet metal. Been using it for electrical work to change 1/2" and 3/4" knockouts to 1" on panel boxes and EMT cans. Its been a virtual lifesaver.

Available locally for $400+ at several electrical stores Not any brand name mind you, just a generic chinese one.

Interesting. First time I'm seeing this. 1shame. Is there something on it to stop u from drilling a hole bigger than you need? Have to pick this up.

[[X]~Outlaw]

^^ Use a depth stop on the drill
