I did buy the hydraulic pump unit from them. Incredible really for $270 delivered. I believe the 3hp rating, it dims every light through the entire house as the start circuit is very power hungry.If anyone doesn't owned enough tools / machinery, here is a new universe of good quality, reasonably priced, equipment for everything you think you will ever do, but probably won't. I have purchased a few items from this company, and I've been very pleased with all of it

Perhaps OK for tools to be used once in a crisis - 179.00 for that lot is impossibly cheapThis is a pretty good tool kit to keep in your car.... I bought one for the shtibox range rover years ago. The tools appear to be very good quality (not taht I have needed to use them .... I make sure I never use the toolkit in the car .... otherwise it'll all be missing the day I need it )

you could probably add a multimeter, some lengths of wire and a bunch of cable ties to it.
i think they were $129.... when I linked that add. They are better quality than a lot of the other tools I own and use.Perhaps OK for tools to be used once in a crisis - 179.00 for that lot is impossibly cheap
The unfortunate reality is that good tools are not cheap and that cheap tools ( unless you‘ve scored a bargain at an old mechanic‘s clean out because nobody else knew what they were looking at ) are not good.
We are also showing our age by even considering having tools in the car with us!

G'day,
looking at "nut riveters" - like a pop rivet gun but sets a threaded insert. Want enough grunt to handle M6 inserts, anyone had experience with these things.
Kincrome K4900 biggie looks nice, Wolf WRS000 similar style but cheaper, both get good reviews.

I bought a cheap kit off EBay several years ago. It does up to 8mm in diameter and came with a selection of aluminium and steel nutserts. The 8mm steel ones are a bit of a workout to crimp into place however the 6mm steel and 8mm alloy ones it does easily. I would imagine any brand name one would be better at the job than mine.G'day,

If there's not much room for the tap handle I use a 1/4" drive 12 point socket on the square of the tap and a 1/4" drive ratchet.Have you ever gone looking for a tool that might come under the category "things you want but don't exist?" - plenty times in my case but here's just one (that I needed two days ago).
Tap and die set - we've all got one, set of taps of different sizes, ditto dies, then a driver for the taps with (usually) two arms that clamp the tap at the top, then driver for the dies (usually) two arms that clamp the die around its central plane. Therein lies the problem - if you're tapping a hole and there's other studs/obstructions sticking up around chances are you'll get clearance for the arms of the driver, same situation threading/cleaning a stud and bang you've hit the obstruction after half a turn. Why are there no 'offset' clamping holders for dies - I've asked in several tool suppliers - just get a blank look. Before you tell me to extract the obstructing stud first, yes I know but try that on a rusty exhaust flange that's been in place for seventeen years when you're up against the clock to get the job finished
