I like that silting saw.. Hope to see a demo in a future video 👍👍

Those T-handle Torx look real handy to use when changing inserts. I hate those little wrenches you get when you buy insert tooling.

Good one Rob . Bondhus T handles here are $ 23.83 ea for 6mm & $ 18.78 for 4mm . I just bought a couple from the industrial hardware shop ! That slitting saw looks like an expensive item to run with all of the inserts ! Cheers 👍

Like the reviews. Slitting saw looks interesting. Look forward to seeing a demo.

Can you give more information on the sitting saw? I’d like to try to find one! You said eBay, did I see in the video Valenite? Thanks for the video!

I have one of those hammer impact drivers. I could never get the blasted thing to work right. For sure my technique. I like that hand held driver thing - and the insert slitting saw. Oh yes. And the Impactas. Very nice.

The tool at 11:52 is a valve adjusting tool , it is designed to have socket on that square shank with the screw drive tip in the center. The arm with the socket releases the locknut while the driver in the center adjusts the valve clearance . 😉 !

Great video, keep'um coming.

Robert, be sure to film making the T-handle stand...

They still sell those aluminum clamp lights at lowes and whatnot without the bulb ... when my wife needed a light box I bought a small pile of them for like 5 bucks each and threw some daylight LED Edison style bulbs in them (great value daylight 95 watt equivalent ) and spread them about, and all together we were drawing like 50 watts from the wall... Still have a couple in the shop here and there.. 7-8 bucks each its great over my 3dprinter / cnc engraver / toy lathe table

In steels.. You can't get high hardness and still get good toughness. You can only get one or the other or somewhere in the middle/ a compromise of each. That's just how it is; they are a direct trade off. If the hardness was up in the 60's.. it would be brittle and snap off the tips easier. If you make them tough and flexible, then they can bend out of shape easier. It's just like a Katana, where you want the edge or tip to be hard, but the rest of the shank to be flexible. It's not an easy balance to get right. I bet your other Allens were on the harder side, which is why they twisted off the ball ends.. but if they make them too soft, then it will just round over and strip..

You can never trust chinese light ratings.. I never buy one without watching a video on it first. If no one has made a video about it, then I won't buy it. lol.. I've been burned too many times by being the Ginnie pig
