Can't get a water temperature sensor out with a regular spanner 19mm I believe.
Frig dat. Whole set. Went impact one time. Bought off Amazon.

I've wanted to buy one of these sets for a while but considering the shipping costs. What's the weight and how much was the skybox cost, if you don't mind me asking?

No problem man

Socket set US$27 + Play Doh US$15 = US$42
Skybox 10.5lbs = US$28
Delivery (No Duty) Vat = TT$45

Thanks Morpheus. black start I've seen the Stanley sets for less but I don't think they come with a storage case.

I've had my eyes these Kawasaki corded and Craftsman cordless impact wrenches for a long time. Both are great for what they are, but I may eventually go with Craftsman because of size. Just waiting for a big sale lol.

BTW my friend has the older corded version of the Mastercraft posted by subie_2NR and it's 200ft/lbs works great for removing lug nuts and suspension work.

Yea they come with a nice yellow case.....neat.

[Morpheus]

Yeah I chose this one due to the price, surface texture, case and range of sizes 7mm-19mm.

[Ted_v2]

Even the case looks pretty good.

[Strugglerzinc]

Those take a severe beating. I use the 1/2" metric set daily with impact gun or 2 foot breaker bar. Even the laser etching does not come off (its actual etching) compared to a Stanley set that has stamped digits which have worn off strangely enough.

If you buy Tekton stuff from Amazon, you will get warranty replacements. Got wrenches and snap ring pliers replaced already.

Bought a Harbor Freight set as well to use with a shop press and those also can take serious lix.

for those who lookin for a corded electric impact

craftsman seems to have slightly more power
both prices are really good
could land them for about 1100 or less

check this dewalt as an option as well

I borrowed a cordless impact Milwaukee M18 impact wrench and that loosens axle nuts and flywheel with ease.

[Ted_v2]

That m18 is the truth

[*KRONIK*]

That m18 is the truth

X2

Was playing with the display unit at bhagwansingh today...really nice unit

Very light, more run time than the competition, ergonomic.

[black start]

That m18 is the truth

no lie there.....real good stuff from milwaukee.....


buh start is a sufferer. snipe and breaker bar for life...

[pugboy]

all the new generation lithium more than good enough
with nicd the batteries were the weak link,
lithium delivers much higher current and capacity in smaller package

important is battery management, lithium batteries should never be run
down very low even to the low indicator.
Low discharge shortens lifespan,

many a drone has suddenly dropped out of the sky because of bad battery mgmt.

with the 4 or 5ah batteries i feel this will give the M18 a good run!

Fellaz...i need a wood blade for an oscillating cutter tool ASAP.

preferably in the east!

[*KRONIK*]

Dammmmmmmitttt

I make a whole hour drive to bhagwansingh, buy a dremel oscillating bit and it not fitting on the blasted tool....turns out i need some kinda dremel to regular tool adaptor....

Friggin blade cost me 92 dollars

Mothersoandso

[silent_riot]

Whats the model of the oscillating tool?

[*KRONIK*]

Chicago electric

[Ted_v2]

I have one. The tip does change to use different sizes of tools.

[*KRONIK*]

What i've come to realize is the dremel bit is different...all the others will fit the different brands...

[fullthrotle]

hi, where can i get a used milling machine. hopefully a 110volt 3/4 hp

[- Rovin's car audio -]

http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWARA100-R ... ngle+drill


its not something u gonna use often but for certain jobs its a must have for places ur drill cant fit - it works well .....

[*KRONIK*]

^^^
I wish i had 1 to use a few days ago...

I feel i go invest in 1 some time soon

[Morpheus]

Wow only $20

[Chimera]

Yup that looks useful

[Ted_v2]

I agree.

Anyone interested in buying a impact gun? 1/2".

I'm have two 1/2 models and recently I seeing the need for a 3/8 impact.

[NR8]

Post models and price

[*KRONIK*]

Fellaz...i ask this question on the "kitchen cupboards" thread....but i eh get no response.

What can i use as insulation between a cabinet and range hood?

[pugboy]

Send a pic

[X_Factor]

insulation? for the heat not to transfer onto the kitchen cupboard?

there is something called bakelite available from lotec, kinda pricey but will literally stop the heat

[Strugglerzinc]

Why would you need insulation though? You cooking with a blast furnace?

[*KRONIK*]

insulation? for the heat not to transfer onto the kitchen cupboard?

there is something called bakelite available from lotec, kinda pricey but will literally stop the heat

Yeah...is just to keep the cabinet and its contents from getting hot.

Previously, the old cabinet would get really hot and all the stuff inside it would get really warm so i wanted to insulate the gap between them to prevent any damage to the cabinet and its contents.


@ strugglerz
And no...its not a blast furnace!

But wifey does have 3 burners running sometimes and as you should know....heat rises
