Icefever Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I've just sent for a Step cone drill bit...I already have a smaller set of 3 that I've had for a year now and they are so easy & work well. The new one is larger up to 42mm for the tank connectors on the new UDS...this got me thinking if you DIY'ers have tools that you would not be without?? some secret bit of kit???

Justin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) I have a step drill bit, They are ok but be careful with them. They require a little bit more attention when drilling than a normal but that you just shove in. I used it to drill a hole in kettle lid to fit a new thermometer Edited September 28, 2018 by Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use dremel or hacksaw for anything refined Depends somewhat on the user....? A mate of mine restores cars and can create pretty much any shape of panel with nought but clamps and an angle grinder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) sure metal fabricator skills is a talent with lots of practice. And using the right discs at he right time and the clamps and jigs...workshop environment and equipment makes a big difference Edited November 2, 2018 by Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerg Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Has to be my impact drill/driver set. So versatile. It's about 15 years old now but it's Makita and just keeps ploughing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
