Ed Poore Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I've got the M12 straight version. That's vicious enough - be careful with that one, by all accounts it's an absolute monster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look after yourself Stephen , I got a big chunk of molten galv. in my eye a while back....no magnetic solutions there........ it came out while I was waiting in A&E (been triaged) for treatment. I've recently invested in Milkwaukee - 1/2 and 3/8 gun , M12 drill and a 115mm grinder , Oh boy what an upgrade from my 2008 1/2 , 3/8 and drill from Snap-on kit. The grinder is particularly good , almost as much power as mains and no lead and good and compact for the standard one. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Stating the blindingly obvious, so apologies Stephen, but make sure you check the calibration. I might have left my large torque wrench in a drawer for several years without fully releasing the spring......🤔 When I checked it recently against a brand new (smaller, but with some overlap) torque wrench it was miles off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 What use are they to you? I mean, they're not going to touch the plate you work with..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I'm sure they'll be upgraded... @Stellaghost I've got some heavily geared motors (24V?) I rescued from @TSD which might be quite well suited to motorising those rollers. Least I can do is bring one up for you when I'm passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
