Hey John, you got a broken flange on your bell housing, wow,
that must have really hurt.
Yet, had a buddy's 235 on that cheap tripod stand that he had
me pick up for him and dang near turned it over every time
we had to move it. Thinkin' Laugh In were ya?
We ended up taking it back and getting the one with the four
wheels, which was a tiny bit better, still could have had
more tread width at the front.
And I got sucked into one of those bench top sandblast
cabinets, which finally ended up out for the garbage man after
fighting with it every time I tried to use it, a real piece
of carp it was.
Bought their stud welder and used it a couple of times, seems
to do the job but I haven't really put it thru the paces.
Also bought their spot welder, 220v version, haven't put a
plug on the end of the cord, big move got in the way, which
I still ain't over yet. Small angle grinders, I've got a
couple of, they work just fine, as are the die grinders. I'd
agree with ya on the cheap gravity spray guns, bought several
full size and touch up and use them more than I do my
DeVilbiss guns, they spray great, I suppose it cuz they
have no moving parts.
I'd have to call ya on the wheel dollies, the four that I have
under my complete '54, 3600 have to be steered with a ballpeen
hammer on each caster every time I want to change directions,
thumbs down on them.
Got a half dozen nailer/staplers and every one of them works
for about a half dozen shots then you have to take them apart
to get them working again, super simple, still can't figure
out why they all lock up the way they do. Maybe they're just
to simple and that's the problem. Thumbs down on them also.
Picked up one of the welding helmets and it's ok as a second,
which I use when I have a second helping me.
Had some real problems with the air ratchets also, and brought
home two of the pneumatic grease guns neither one ever worked
right out of the boxes, gave up on them got my money back.
Got a big and a small super-sonic cleaner from them, they seem
to do nothing more that I could do if I held onto them when I
had the shakes. Thumbs down on them.
Bought a pancake compressor on sale last year for the
basement, takes FOREVER to pump up the tiny tank, not much
good for anything more than blowing off a small part.
Did by a couple of the pneumatic scrapers (needle scaler) with
a blade on it. That came in handy cleaning the grass off the
bottom of the 72" mower deck.
Bought a Chicago Electric 1/2" cordless drill and a couple of
extra battery packs, drills fine, batteries won't hold a 10th
of their original charge now after a couple of years. Bought
the same CE sawsall and 5 1/2" circle saw. Neither one has any
power and will barley make it through a thin sheet of plywood.
I think I could go on but,,,what's the use!!!
