I'd like to welcome Northern Tool and Equipment to frrax as our newest supporting vendor. Northern sells tools and we seem to buy them, so I look forward to a happy relationship with them. The link is in the sponsor bar at the top of the page. Please check out their site, they have some neat and useful stuff.
Thanks! |

Since it's northern tool... I assume they deliver to Canada easily (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I need lots of tools and need to get into powertools. hmmm... |

OMG, Northern Tool Rocks!!! I have actually driven the 360 miles to the Dallas Metroplex JUST to visit their Retail store there! Some bargains, some things unavailable elsewhere,
Course... I never have needed much excuse for a road trip, either. :drive: Tony |

I really like their hoists, and they do deliver in Canada, notice the candian flag being wrenched on the top right... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)
I'll gladly get a hoist from a sponsor... and their prices are better than what I was quoted. but it seems that they end up being more w/ 1k$ shipping and 1k$ installation. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Maybe I'm misreading the whole thing. |

"Threaded Insert Tool" Edited to give proper credit to FRRAX I've used my buddy's Snap-on version of that tool and it is very handy. I think they call it "nutsert" but it looks like the same thing.

When I was building my race car and installing adell clamps to hold the wiring loom, the battery cables and such, it is so easy to just install a #10 machine screw to hold the clamps in place.
I installed all my relays on the HVAC block off panel using nutserts. Mounted my PS cooler, PS remote reservoir, transponder .... endless uses .... |

That's what I would have thought, but I haven't been able to enter the right search words to get them to appear...

Howdy,
Anyone ever seen any inexpensive installation tools for metric versions of these? Last time I looked around (happened to be working on a bmw), the only reasonably priced versions were SAE only. Ended up installing them with some washers/ grease / flat bar, which "worked" but certainly isn't something I'd recommend... Mark |
