What - non Festool - tool / workshop related gizmo/stuff did you buy today?

[Bob D.]

Yes, both are open and the old bridge is gone/demolished. Westbound traffic on the new span is limited to 3 lanes as there is some construction still underway that has the two outermost lanes closed. They took down the last bits of the old bridge in May 2019. Traffic was good going up (NJ to CT), but those traveling south were jammed up, miles of backup and that was in the morning and no construction. We got loaded up and started home about 1430. Heading west from Danbury toward the TZ we again lucked out and hit no snarls until about 5 miles before the bridge, but managed to duck off on an alternate route and avoid much of it jumping back on 287W just before the bridge. On the west side of the Hudson is was slow for a couple miles on 9W but once we got to the NJTP was smooth sailing all the way to Exit 3.

Well I decided to follow Ron's lead [member=3192]rvieceli[/member] and I ordered the Wiha Torque Vario. It has an adjustable range of 10-50 inch/pounds in 2 inch/pound increments and is accurate to ±6%.  It's perfect for torquing the Shelix inserts, I also filled in some of the gaps with their precision screwdrivers. Great little screwdrivers, can't recommend them enough.

The only thing better are some Swiss watchmaking screwdrivers for 3X the price.

Received some benefits from the Prime Day deals.  I'm really liking the few Wera tools that I have.  At first I thought these might be a bit gimmicky, but they are super handy and can be packed easily in any tool bag or mini T-Loc

[member=59951]Dick Mahany[/member] is the first picture the KK60 set?  Did you get the metric or SAE version?

[member=63201]RustE[/member] , yes the KK60 (non-stainless steel version).  I got the metric set and realized afterward that the metric set didn't include a # 1 or #2 Robertson Square bit.  Fortunately I had a few 3" bits from other sources that I added to it.

Sweet Oliver... [big grin]...is that bottom item a spring bar tool?

As you well know, the nice thing about Bergeon screwdrivers is that the individual blades are replaceable and they're available as a color coded set.  [thumbs up] [thumbs up]

Ive just bought this set of Lie Nielsen mortise chisels and a very nice 0,5 mm Rotring 600 pencil, in metal, for the finer stuff. I also ordered som battery wallmounts for my Hilti and Makita batteries for the work van.

Yes, it's a simple Bergeon spring bar tool on the bottom.

They actually make a really cool & useful/ more easy/safer to use one:https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-7825-spring-bar-tweezers/

Very cool! I once had the complete, original release, Rotring 600 set. Very nice pens.

And those Lie Nielsen mortise chisels are awesome!

Well that's an interesting thing, the Rotring design hasn't changed in over 20 years.  [eek]

Here's one I picked up at least 20+ years ago. The only difference is the small red band at the top of your pencil. Does yours still have a lead hardness indicator at the top?

Great little screwdrivers, can't recommend them enough.

I received the Torque Vario yesterday and played around with it for a while. Me likeee...

It's advertised to be adjustable in 2"/# increments, however it can actually be set in 1"/# increments if you're careful.  [smile]

Even when set to the lowest torque setting which is 10 inch pounds, when you exceed the torque limit the feedback is immediately felt AND heard. It's very positive feedback.

With a typical spring adjusted torque wrench set to a low torque value, the feedback is usually subtle to say the least. You have to "wait and feel" it. The notification on the Wiha is up front, no anticipation required.  [big grin]

The torque values are adjusted by removing the red torque socket in the bottom of the tool and placing the black Wiha driver in the recess and then turning the driver until the correct value appears in the small window...pretty slick.

This will work perfectly for changing Shelix inserts in the DW 735.

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] What TSO product is that above your new tool?

 

[Bob D.]

"This will work perfectly for changing Shelix inserts in the DW 735."

What is the torque value for the insert screws [member=44099]Cheese[/member] .

 

[Cheese]

What is the torque value for the insert screws [member=44099]Cheese[/member] .

Byrd suggests 40-45 in/lbs of torque. The Torque Vario has a 50 in/lb max rating.

I finally got myself a couple of snappy centrotec robertson bits! Very happy with them and they fit perfectly.

Obviously I'm not Cheese, to answer your question it is the 20" left hand arm for the TSO PGS.

I just picked up the Milwaukee M18 18ga nailer. Only driven a few nails but seems to work pretty good.

3 weeks ago I ordered a Mafell Erika 85 with sliding table. Looking really much forward to set it up, and start building some furniture again.
