CMP restoration tools

You are totally right!

Good Day,

A drill press is also a great tool to make triangular shaped holes in sheet metal!

All joking aside, another must tool is a thread restoring file. Besides the obvious repair of threads it comes in handy as a thread gauge to identify thread pitch if you don't have a set of taps or a thread gauge.

Not useable for identifying nuts obviously but still worth having in the toolbox with all the banged up bolts on an old vehicle.

Thanks Tony. I always believe in sharing information. No use taking knowledge with you to the grave. Does no one any good.

Cheers,

I've found that extra long arms with 3 or 4 elbows that bend both ways are particularly useful when working on carriers. Two are OK but three are better.
