In random browsing news, how do skybox companies class bits?

http://www.harborfreight.com/clearance/ ... 68457.html

$10usd its worth a shot imo.

[nervewrecker]

^^^

90 of them bits you will never use

[Strugglerzinc]

Besides that, HF bits are one time use, no matter how careful are in using them. You will kick yourself after.

There are many mid range sets that give a good quantity/quality balance.

Skybox will treat bits as Tools. I have gotten away with no duty or VAT already. (knocks on wood)

[- Rovin's car audio -]

i was in bhags chaguanas about 2hrs ago - prices not bad at all on shop vacs ...

[Chimera]

ordered this last week and got it yesterday



have some workmen using it right now to put up a fence

[Strugglerzinc]

WTF !! How many posts you have so?

Specs? Pics in action?

[Chimera]

didnt think to take pics in action lol

but its a 50cc engine

came with 6 inch and 10 inch bits 2.5 feet long

digs a 2.5 feet deep hole in less than 10 seconds depending on soil conditions

[Chimera]

men wanted to charge me $150 per hole for 20 holes (did those 20 holes in less than 5 minutes today\0
had to throw water in half of them to help the auger along though


and i need 80 holes done next month for another fence

made more sense buying this than paying people

[Strugglerzinc]

Holy sheit, that's fast.

Took me 30 min to do a hole for an electricity pole with a manual auger once.

Saw Eskimos using one to dig through ice for fishing on Nat Geo so you have that capability as well.

[Ted_v2]

aba how much did that cost you?

[Chimera]

cost me 4,000 landed

shipping weight alone was 50lbs

[X_Factor]

^ u could rent it out or take PJ's to cover back ur $$ easy!!!

[pugboy]

HF drill bits are not good
they flex and break easily at least in the smaller sizes like 1/16 - 1/4

[Amit]

considering opening a tool rental store, some of the tools i already have
hilti hammer drill,
hilti drywall screwdriver
hilti hammer drill cordless,
milwaukee drill,router
cordless hammer drill,
belt & mouse sander,
chop saw
6ft, 8,12ft ladder
jig saw

soon to purchase welding plant, air compressor, nail gun, miter saw

[pioneer]

Not sure how relevant...but does anyone know if hardwares sell any kinda 3/4" x 3/4" wood?

I need it to make a frame

[InDeForest]

Usually that is not a hardware store dimension, if theres some woodworking done on site you may be able to buy a 3-4" wide 3/4 thick pine board and have it cut into the strips you want. Or rather go directly to a woodworking place where they should be able to rounds up and cut those size strips from scrap.

[X_Factor]

there is a woodworking shop opposite the arouca health center its on the side of the road with the set of logs and the sawmill
u can check there if u want
