these ghetto talk reminds me of me fixing a ding while at my wife's friend's house using a stirring spoon.

btw, those reamers are great to have.

i have one from my RC car days.

for f-day, a gift from me to me would be a 18v right angle drill.

i have the corded one and it works fine, but i like not having a cord.

I like not having a cord, too, but I hate dealing with batteries. My buddy says he got a cordless drill that has lifetime warranty on batteries. When it goes bad, you report it online, print out a shipping label and then send you a new one within a week, typically. That's pretty sweet, but my DeWalt corded 10 amp drill does just fine for me at home. It'll twist your arm off if you're not careful.

I have a right angle adapter bit, as well as a flexible extension that work great in many situations

that woodstock one would probably better (manual)

Well, the first estimate for my damaged Z came in.

It is not a total loss. I'll find out for sure tomorrow when I meet my insurance adjuster at the shop.

Fingers crossed. I do not want to lose my 40th if possible.

If you are hoping to keep your Z, then that is terrific news indeed

I hope you don't mean "pork" swords. That's a mental image that would stay with me, keep me up at night, wake me from my restful slumber in terror when it intrudes into my dreams and require more therapy than I could afford.

She's a 40th. She is modded perfectly to my tastes and driving style/ability.

I hope you get what you want Onze!

What other kind of sword would he be talking about?

I'm pretty sure it has a clutch because that's what slips when you exceed the torque you have set. Is slip clutch used in an impact driver?

many of the tools look worn and dirty, but they are far better quality than the comparable tools you buy nowadays. I like my tools dirty, it means they're well used and battle-tested

ahhh, i have a 9.6v or something by ryobi from the days. got that for father's day like 7-8yrs ago. battery died in no time.

yah, slip clutch on the driver when torque is exceeded. my corded drill does not have it. my cordless driver obviously has it.

my impact driver has a hammering action to add more torque to tighten or loosen, but does not have a torque slip dial. so you have to kind of learn how many sec the hammering is needed to reach a certain amount of torque, then use a torque wrench from there.

my 18v impact (3/8 drive) has about 160lbs/ft so it had no problems loosening the nuts during the swaybar i installed a few weeks back.

it's a handy compact tool to have to do these smaller jobs.
