you need a way of turning the filler once you have pressurised it. yes, you need to push the sphere up against an "O"ring to make the area around the filler plug air tight.

Bit more mundane, but picked up 1 m steel ruler from the cheap bin at local Bunnings for $6.00, 600 mm length steel rulers were even better value at $2.50
Craftright? I think that's the brand I bought not long ago, a 300 and 600 mm pair with engraved and paint filled numbers.
G'day fellow toolnuts.
Made myself a bitchin' pair of skew chisels out of standard Bunnings fare and at about $13ea I'd say that's great value. Reground and buffed up on a calico wheel they are as sharp as..
If you try this at home kiddies, be careful you don't cook the metal.:nownow:

In other news I've been accumulating some sheet metal tools mainly from Bunnings and Trade Tools. As someone said, "it's better to have tools you don't need then to need tools you don't have".

I've just bought some cheap timing tools for the Pug from Hong Kong, $14 on eBay. I shall report back once used. They look like exact copies of the Sealey ones.
Let us all know we only every need to use once or twice (in my case anyway[emoji46] )

Hand reamer
I've been buying these Chinese hand reamers for general workshop use whenever I need them. They are quite cheap I reckon and good enough for amateur use when repairing kingpins, rocker arm re-bushing and the like. I recommend them.

I would’ve thought you’d need wood working tools to rebuild that Renault truck Mr G?
^ good for hemorrhoids, too.

You can keep dreamin’ Kev, I may have a fetish for tools but I have no interest in any truck. Best you cast your fishing line in another direction ��
Any ideas how to build a tool to bend 40mm x 3 aluminium bar into a shape like this ? :
You might concoct something with rollers based on a reo bender. Welcome HIT Tool Online
Is essential a magnetic loop, but by using deviated loop , you reduce the size but don't sacrifice the efficiency.
That particular loop, covers four amateur radio bands - 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m which is a further advantage.
And it's only about 1200mm in diameter, and largely non directional.
The only downside, if you can call it that, is if used for transmitting there are very high voltages present on the top of loop at 100w power input, up 50 KV or so.

I am wondering what the seller is "gripping".
Non specific size "bolt and nut destroyers" have been around for ever.
Basic physics, suggests to me, that a tool that applies force to all sides simultaneously will always work better and maintain the integrity of the nut or bolt too.
IMO best use of the tool is probably, in vehicle application, as a defence against road rage attackers.
I got sucked in with a few of those. They were cheap but are only worth scrap
Goes to show you need to careful of those peddling "alternate tools" And research the sellers credibility. :roflmao:
