If you want torch then you're correct in not getting the versatip.
The torching power is quite low.

If use for solder electronic better than electric one?

Ceramic heater temperature compensated tip is always better.
But can't bring solder station everywhere, so this butane solder is for the times when you don't have an electric solder.

Thx for the info.. Lately playing a lot's with soldering..Just use normal solder not the station type.. Might buying 1, any recommendation? I'm programmer but lately have a need to have own hardware based on arduino. Seeing the freelancer soldering ATmega 328p, 28-pin chip.. So easy.. huhu..

Oh ya, Dremel do recommend use zero impurities. Don't no what it mean.

Cincai get 1.

Get a 30 or 40w hakko ceramic heater. Around rm100+ IINM. With the sharp pointed tip to make it easier soldering ic pin.

Or 30w or 40w hakko or goot normal soldering iron. I think 30w or 40w should be enough. Long time didn't touch normal iron for years already.

found a cheap deal....Bosch GLM 15 laser range finder from shopee

Bosch GLM 15

use this code : best30 to get it for only RM125 shipped nationwide, so far this is the cheapest and simple laser measuring tool from Bosch. not sure how long this promo will last...maybe just a day or two from today...

if got higher budget, go straight for the GLM 50C, awesome awesome little laser range finder

As for me, any of them will do as long you don't use it continuous for 3 hours or 100 holes in a day. Bosch, Hilti, Makita, Hitachi, Dewalt etc able to last longer longer. Stanley is in between DongCheng/DCA vs contractors' brand.

thanks for sharing man. you keep finding good deals. like the l-boxx previously

plunge cutter blade made for wood + metal

5 second vs a corroded 8mm bolt nut result in this



i see so many video people cut zinc steel nails easily... this one is badly corroded bolt saja... haiya... i so sad. that blade is brand new. costed me rm60.

i then proceed to buy these



the quality for older stanley hand tools (the left one) is more superior than the newer one (right, with new logo).. the riveter is made in taiwan, the dynagrip is made in china

itu plunge cutter blade ori kah? the coating of the blade looks like peeling off....swiss made quality

ya, those stanley handtool with old logo are better quality compare with those new logo one....new logo one look and feel counterfeit to me...

nowadays i cut nail and screws with this..


this is a small little beast, cut nail and screw with little force used with single handed.

price is not cheap..



i used to buy stanley handtools, but once i try irwin and milwaukee handtools....no turning back on those stanley anymore....


i prefer the irwin riveter more compare to the stanley, somehow the irwin riveter seem more easy to use with less force.

btw, ct hardware are having clearance sales on the forge brand rivets....i must say it's damn cheap comparing it buying from places like mr. diy / ace hardware. per packet of 100pcs rivets only cost from rm3.50 - 4.50 and not yet apply 10% discount...

the cutter blade is ori from bosch. swiss made. some rust and peel off because i've been using it to cut some plastic pipes few days ago before i try it on the metal

LoL... wood + metal. haihs... i rugi rm60 for trying

Irwin tools need to find those old stocks one baru made in germany / taiwan / etc - the newer ones are made in china... haihs

i use some irwin drill bits because they are available in odd sizes (13 mm for example)

now u poison me with that powerslot... haihs... i must go find some irwin liao to cure my sadness

irwin's most famous vise grip pliers are kinda affordable. about rm 50 - 60 for a 7" one from lazada. i might get that one rather than stanley because stanley now only have that sissy rubber coated grip pliers... haihs...

pls share more of your irwin & milwaukee handtools. i am slowly adding hand tools to my arsenal. i buy china ones firrst and see which one i really use. at least i dun mind cheap china hammer. the only risk there is is the broken handle (fiber glass neck). LoL

as for rivets, i buy in boxes of 1000's... usually can last me half year. about 1/10 will go missing due to careless workers. so i buy cheap jaguar fastener brand one. about rm 20+ i think. the normal size 1/8" (3mm) x 1/2" (12mm). too big and it's hard to close the rivets, and repeat that 50 - 100x a day, your hands do get tired.

Went to CT hardware to look for a T10 screw driver. Finally found it, looks like very old stock.
Tested the GAS15PS vacuum, I like the feature and the vacuum is not loud.
But I wonder how much suction will lost after passing through the cyclone.


With the T10 screwdriver, I can open up the ori and clone makita battery to inspect.

Ori makita battery has balancing build in and large circuit board
Clone makita batery has smaller circuit board and no balancing.
Both has temperature probe to prevent overheat.

Ori Makita 18v 4AH RM440
Clone Makita 18v 4AH RM120.

CLone makita use 1 years spoil also worth it. Time will tell...

I never like Stanley tools. Their finishing are rough and not fine. More to medium quality. The grip can give me high torque to push.

That clone battery probably not 4ah. Probably 1/2 of it only. There is no 4ah battery yet in the market.

Stanley is ok for non regular user, like once a month or once a bluemoon users like me. If need really goods one tools like elora from germany

BTW, saw this video on FB, using tool to make bigger tools.

https://www.facebook.com/300311020334599/vi...52094871822879/

Oops my bad.
The thick Battery at the left is clone 4AH.
The thin battery at the right is ori 2AH.

I have no test equipment to validate their capacity but the thicker battery does lasts much longer than 2AH on a circular saw.

to me any tool is good as long as it does what it does and survive that job

i always buy cheapest china no names ones unless the more exp ones give me superior performance - eg the riveter & tin snips

anyhow, this is my bulldog after 3 weeks. she's been a good pup. a lot of bruises. very powerful... just one regret... i bought it rm700 too expensive



btw, dun belip that hype over vibration control. it hurts. my right arm is full with salonpas after drilling about 20 holes @ 14mm / 75mm deep.

I have some elora tools, inherited many many years ago, i must say is solid.
