Anyone know where I can get some all thread nylon rods 5/16. Nylon nuts and washers also.

Not tools related but didn't want to start a new thread.

Only today realised that Westbend sales closed.
Where else sells parts for Briggs and Stratton engines. And stock parts for small engines and powerwashers etc?

I don't believe that there is a 3/32" extractor but many decent hardware stores carry them.

The standard size is 5/64" drill bit with a #1 spiral extractor and they get bigger from there.

Maybe a #1 spiral is 3/32" in diameter but I would need to dig out my set and check it with calipers.

These prices good?

Rovin · Postby **Rovin** » October 2nd, 2018, 11:19 pm

just a heads up here

i now watching some vids on youtube & just learn that HITACHI TOOLS has recently been renamed HIKOKI ... :shock:

somebody commented : ...

Hitachi sold their tool division and the new owner is not allowed to use the Hitachi name going forward, hence the renaming

u can read d whole long story here
https://www.hitachi-koki.com/topics/171 ... nd_en.html

effective October 2018, our current brand which has been familiar with "HITACHI" will become a new brand known as "HiKOKI".

Be careful which one you get as the cheaper/lower end Bosch levels have accuracy issues as they still use a bubble for level. Basically a laser pointer glued to a torpedo level.

Anybody has the blue Mig Welding Plan form PriceSmart? Is this a good buy?

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » October 24th, 2018, 6:14 pm

post ah pic, i interested in a small mig.

^^^

I see they have this one, waiting on someone else to give it a run before I consider. Powerbuilt drills etc never give me no issue

wingnut · Postby **wingnut** » October 25th, 2018, 10:28 pm

Looks like its flux core only. No gas?

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » October 26th, 2018, 5:38 am

yeah flux core only and well 90a is only good for very thin material like 1mm if so much
no way that could weld 3/16"

Strugglerzinc · Postby **Strugglerzinc** » October 26th, 2018, 12:18 pm

Is that $300 as per the price tag in the photo?

That same PowerBuilt one I am talking about. I guess it not a good buy for building gates and windows.

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » October 26th, 2018, 9:58 pm

not bad at all, could do a bit with that.

FOR the price its not bad. if i had that extra money at the moment i would of bought one.

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » October 27th, 2018, 6:01 am

no, you need at least 140amp mig which uses co2 gas straight wire not flux core
preferably 180amp
