This must be the understatement of the year already.

Kinell! took a few minutes to find this thread.

 

One for the bolt butchers and that includes myself. A small deburring gadget that goes in a cordless for tidying up the ends of bolts that have been mashed or cut down to length with a hacksaw. Makes easy work of it

16mm tow bar sized bolt

 

Is an old method, cone centers are used on lathes fr chamfering components. K

I think any arb company on setting up should be made to purchase a compressor, 3 litres of white spirit and a box of cheap paint brushes!!!!

Judging by most of the saws I get in, they are all strangers to regular cleaning and servicing.

The other great thing about having a compressor to run an air line is that you can pump up your tyres without getting tired - see what I did and an impact gun makes your workshop sound like a Formula 1 garage....Oh, damn I am good....work it out!

Impact gun formula 1 sounds are basically why I bought a compressor, all other uses are of secondary Interest

These cord pin end terminals are worth a mention, brilliant on things like tow sockets where the screw will eat through the cable if you overtighten and any hairy bits you miss touch each other knocking fuses out.

Just bare back the cable, double it up, slide it to the end of the ferrule ,push it into the terminal block and screw it down, no special tools needed
