Is this the one you want?
64351
I bought it, watched it once and put it away as I didn’t think I’d ever need it again. I can get a postage cost if you like?

Sounds a good price to be honest, I’ll be interested to see how long it takes to sell. If you don’t mind me asking, are you getting out of this kind of work? Just curious as I seem to remember you...

It looks like it’s a Shorte, or Oliver, power flanger. The serrations on the wheels are more for grip than creating crimps. I had one similar a few years ago but sold it as it seemed to have limited...

No way in hell would I be trying that, it’s a hole saw or step drill for me. Both are much safer ways than having bits of rag that can snatch the workpiece away before you’ve got time to react....

I’ve always used 25’ leads as the standard 12’ ones you seem to get with new welding sets always seem a bit restrictive. I have a water cooled Kemppi AC/DC set so tend to leave it in the middle of...
