    It's a "dingle-berry" :D It's used to put a cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls for lubrication.

    Ok. I have to give this a big thumbs up even though it seemed simplistic when I first read it a few weeks ago. I installed an HO alternator today and the support bolt bushing was set for the OEM alternator which is just slightly narrower.

    To make a wrong story snort, I could have had $5000 in Snap-ons and not been able to finish the job without a press of some sort to push the bushing back out. So after a trip to the hardware store for a 5/8" coupler nut and a bolt and I had my press for less than a dollar. Anyway this will stay in my tool box.

    Just ordered this one and I'm willing to bet that it will be my new favorite. I'll also be ordering one of their rotary cutting tools since my dremel seems to be on the fritz.

    Also, can't complain about being a new owner of some festool gear.

    A torque wrench is something that shouldn't be bought at harbor freight. Sure there are some "good" reviews on the site but the guys like my brother in law that screwed their motor up using one don't bother to post the bad reviews. There's a reason it's $10 without a coupon.
