Look up cold chisel with fingers….

Hmm, I'd recheck the r134 charge and check that the compressor clutch is engaging first. Unlikely that the expansion valve went out in one day unless it got really clogged with debris.

👆 yep, @sixtyfiveford is absolutely correct with his response.

Wouldn't that leave really big long holes in the leather? Maybe I'm thinking too small, (like a wallet) and this thing is for a saddle or something much larger.

Disagree. If you look up leather hole punch spacers…and cold chisel with fingers you’ll see the difference. Built very similar but next weeks tool is a cold chisel with groves cut into it (called a mason chisel). And blunt ends. Leather punch spacer has tapered points like a needle or nail. (Just my opinion).

Good point.

The stainless stuff? I'd really like to see that. I've got an update video coming out in a few days, and am planning another one already to address the biggest problem I have with the knife (the spring gets bound with dirt/debris way too easy and locks up the slider)... Send me some photos of your stainless bluing, I'll add them to one of the videos. Email is: [email protected].

@@twosawacres8096 ya I noticed that with the spring as well. Even as Lil as being in my pocket. And no I think the pieces with holes are also titanium. The stainless stuff I heated to straw color tho. Wish I could send yaa pic

@@twosawacres8096 I'm retarded just reread your comment, pictures sent

Thanks homie.

I got the Everlast 256si multi process unit (TIG, stick and plasma). I've had the machine for about three years now. I immediately switched the plas cutter consumables to a drag tip type, purchased from a fella on ebay who puts kits together for various torch model groups. If I remember correctly, mine is the PT60 version, and the kit came with the cap, 3 or 4 inside pieces, 2 each of 40/50/60 amp tips, and the drag tip its self. Keeping in mind that I'm just a home gamer, not running the cutter everyday, I just bought a second kit about 6 months ago, but that was only because I was cutting 1 inch stuff and the drag tip got a lot of blow back, the rest of the consumables have held up very well. I tried to cut some 1.25 inch stuff a few months ago and it struggled, ended up getting out the oxy torch. But for everything else, mild steel, SS and aluminum this thing has been a huge time saver. I also got a circle cutter that has worked amazing. I was initially going to get a used Hypertherm 45, $1100 (and drive over 3 hours one way to get it). But the morning of I checked with the guy and he sold it after we made plans... So I started looking into other options. The Everlast, shipped to my door, with cart, water cooler, multi process unit (which is an inverter style) and a starter kit was $2600! About the same cost as the Hypertherm 45. Best of luck to ya. Any other question feel free to ask, I'd be happy to make a video of the thing as well.

@@twosawacres8096 Cool thanks. Do you recall the sellers handle?

@@robertd6925 handle? Oh, the ebay guy? He's mechanic416...

Yeah, been struggling with that thing for 2 years now. However, I've learned a few techniques, I either hold the spout with my right hand and keep my thumb in place to push the thing closed, or even easier just give the spout a little twist when removing from saw and it pops closed.

Thanks, had to try 3 drivers to get the right size, but it ultimately worked really well I thought. But next time I'll just go straight to the small radius flap sanders on the die grinder, so much faster and easier, I was just being overly cautious with using power tools on this thing considering it cost and arm and a d!c%....LOL Just recorded an update video for this utility knife today, will do the editing and post in the next couple days.

Just shoot me an email at [email protected] with your address, I'll give you a code via email that you can post here as a reply to this comment. Once I see the code here I'll send out the tool.

You nailed it.

Dang, beat me to it. I've only seen them as pruners though.

I agree, however, ethanol usually only comes out of solution when water gets in the gas/ethanol, and water usually gets in the gas by condensation, and condensation can only occur if there is air in the gas tank or carb bowl. Also, small engines like in the chainsaw and weed whip do not have carb bowls, so not much fuel just sits in them. So, either fill the tank completely full before storage, or drain the tank. And on anything that has bowls on the carb, I simply close the fuel off to the carb and run it dry. They can sit that way for at least a year, even with the ethanol fuel...

Hope it helps, kinda why I started the channel.

I looked this up many years ago and now can't even remember. When I find it again I'll make sure to add it on the update vid for this knife.
