I also snagged this in my back yard. It was a steal of a deal. Time to sell off the chicom vises.

@Cowboy45 loves to use carb cleaner and brake cleaner which has some nasty stuff in it. Bought these to help with gettting off carb and brake cleaner. Sureshot cans. One for acetone and the other for denatured alcohol which are relatively benign. Elf colors were a bonus .

Oh man.. That Brākleen® is tough habit to kick. I buy it by the case.

Hehe. You know it’s bad s*** when you spray a yellow jacket in mid flight and it drops dead instantly. It is a hard habit to “brake” for sure!!

Acetone is pretty bad s*** too, wear good gloves.

I was all up in the Brakleen getting the front of that motor clean today

You should look into a heated bio parts washer. They are not cheap but they work well and less off a hazard for your old age.

They zap scorpions fast too... which is why there are always several cans in my garage.

I like it as an insecticide for sure. True bad ass test is if it will kill a roach or a first gen taco.

So reason for red nipple covers. I had the chance to meet a retired aircraft builder tool and die guru. I bought my 41/2 Athol vice from him. He has a barn full of goodies. He asked me to come back a couple of weeks later and spend a day with him so that he can share some awesome tools that he was letting go that he used to build aircraft including the shells of the 777. I was schooled on aircraft heavy duty tools some which I bought. These are meant for 24/7 use on the aircraft line. Will try and share in pics to follow

Terry drills, 3/8” right angle ratchets, dotco die grinders, and pancake drill Terry drill, and 7” air sander. The dotco air tools are the bees knees.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

The Terry drills come in right angle and 45 degree angles. These are very versatile. You can attach Terry attachments to the tip such as small drill bits, reamers, deburring bits, any grinders with 1/4 thru 3/8” collets. Pics show some of the flexibility. Speed is 0 to 20,000 rpm infinitely adjustable.

I also bought pure carbide deburring bits and drill bits. They guy had about $1M in carbide tooling. I also got an assortment of Terry drill bits of all sizes and diameters.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

I was also able to buy a multitude of air drills of various speeds and chuck sizes. Most of the drills are ARO and Dotco with Jacobs chucks. I also had the chance to get a couple of quick change chuck drills with quick change chucks of all sizes.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Also got Terry drill extension that can be fit on the Terry drill where you can attach any Terry drill attachment. Useful in tight spots.

Also manage to get a set of aircraft rivet air hammer bits and bucking bar and mar free rivet squeezer. I also snagged a microstop rivet shaver. It shaves the river heads without damaging the surface. These will come in handy for FJ40 roof rivet replacement.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Also got a set of old school chisels/punches, marking punches, and leather/gasket punch outs.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Also got a good set of transfer punches.

 

[TYM4FUN]

Damn

[ceylonfj40nut]

Some aircraft grade clecos. Got manual pliers and an air operated cleco install tool.
