Thanks a lot for the offer man but I'm a "my own tools only" kind of guy. Where'd you get your set? Bhagwansingh Sea Lots only has SAE sizes.

I found unless you buy a top of the range flare nut set you gonna see stress on stubborn fittings, this little devil will grip anything. It is called a parrot head vise grip, used it on my projects and also a few of my friends cars where the mech had damaged stuff.

Bought the Tekton set (3 spanners/6 sizes) at Ramcharitar's yesterday. Took two very stubborn hardlines off with some persuasion and a vice grip holding the rubber side.

Hey guys. I want to buy a pressure washer. Looking for a gas powered one. Any recommendations on models and where to buy?
I am finding some really nice ones online, but to import it might be problems.

[X_Factor]

not to familiar with pressure washers but i saw quite a few at ft farfan
maybe u could start there

[NR8]

Not very knowledgeable about the gas ones but I noticed Laughlin had some with over 2000 psi for $2600 on sale last month when I was buying an electric AR Blue. Seemed like a good price. And they always have sales promotions so it's worth checking them out. I went to price a tool kit for my dad to keep in his trunk last week & right now if you spend over $200 you have to dip your hand and can win either 1 of 3 discounts from 10 to 50% off or 1 of 3 gifts

hallo my bwoddas

I've an issue with a 3/8" chuck here that I need to use a 1/2" bit with. Is there an adapter or anything of the sort available locally or would I need to simply swap the chuck with a 1/2" chuck?

[Strugglerzinc]

I've only ever seen hex to 3/8 adaptors and SDS to rotary.

Even swapping the chuck might be problematic as the shaft on a 3/8 is usually smaller than a 1/2" drill.

Isn't it possible to get the bit in a 3/8 version unless of course you're using a crazy unusual size.

[Hook]

Well it's to be able to use a 31/64" bit, but I'm not getting any locally with a reduced end for a 3/8" chuck, so that's why I'm exploring the possibility of just changing the chuck.

If I could get this, that'll be awesome.

[MonsterPower]

u can get that by ssl in sando ... i think he is a powerseller u can ask him

[Strugglerzinc]

31/64 ?

o_0

dafuq...i knew bits came in increments but 1/64 increments?

[X_Factor]

ent
1/64 less than 1/2
thats one precise hole needed there boy Hook

[Hook]

it's for a helicoil/thread repair kit

I hafta drill that size and tap it before inserting the coil.

[Ted_v2]

question
where could i get a nice tool kit to buy? somehow all my sockets keep getting lost
im looking for something like this

[pioneer]

Laughlin also has 10-50% off your purchase sale, you "draw" your purchase at check out.

[X_Factor]

did some cleaning of my room when i stayed upstairs, check madness
i didnt think i had so much and i think there are 2 more in the tool room


found these, and imagine i have 2 others downstairs


hadda sort out that tmr


may post some stuff for sale depending what i find again

[MonsterPower]

Hook if u dont get thru u can carry the bit to a machine shop and they can step the end on a lathe to fit the 3/8 chick

[Strugglerzinc]

X_Factor, i love tools as much as the next guy and sometimes a little more, but, dude.....

5 levels and at least 4 tapes? unopened? how do you live with yourself?

[nervewrecker]

Problem with a saw here, the blade wobbling. I changed blade and the new one wobbling too. What's up with that?
Don't wanna have to buy a new saw cuz this barely use.

[X_Factor]

the problem is not being able to resist good deals

example stabila levels is suppose to be high end levels
so when yuh getting the 2 for 250TT i jus cant walk away

worse yet if i post my socket/spanner collection

sounds like d bearing going\gone bad ....

[X_Factor]

post a few pics

did u use back the washer tingy that goes between the bolt and blade?

[nervewrecker]

Yeah, the washer thingy put back when I change the blade.

Where can this bearing be changed? Is a black and decker saw (cheap thing cuz its not needed for regular use) but I donno who borrow it and fcuk it up.

[X_Factor]

the washer ting suppose to be on the right of the saw eh
my dad made a mistake and put it first, then blade then bolt
it wobbled for weeks, i thought that was the end of the saw

decided to change the blade and saw what happened and put it how it suppose to be

its blade first, washer tingy on the top of the blade then the bolt (atleast in a dewalt saw)
