RE: Tools for Builders

I don't do formal pre-registration for the Lowe's races. We have most everyone in the race program, so registration is quick. I use the NMPRA Race program and we use AMA race procedures and scoring....

RE: Tools for Builders

You can get the FISKARS at Wal-Mart and the OLFA at Michael's. And both places may have both. I can't remember.

Here are pictures of each.

The one I sell is a copy of the OLFA. I like it...

RE: Tools for Builders

Yes, the Fiskars and Olfa are $10 to $15 ... Mine are only $4 but the blades are not changable. But a person can figure out if they like them with mine. And mine last quite a while.

RE: Tools for Builders

Are you cutting fiberglass cloth with scissors? Cutting 3/4 ounce cloth is a pain. But there is an easy way.

It's called a Rotary Knife. Using one of these to cut cloth makes it so much easier....

Thanks Scott.

That item is available from Tower ... See Harry Higley's Biso Bender 1/8" & 3/32"

RE: Tools for Builders

I checked it out and sure enough, it does pinch the tubing if you go past about 60 degrees. I am usually only bending 45 degrees for tank vents.

RE: Tools for Builders

Another great tool that people don't think about using for another purpose is the Great Planes Dead Center Hole Locator . This is the absolute best way to drill servo mounting holes.

The other tool is a shearing wire cutter. It will cut wire up to 5/32" in diameter. It uses a big allen screw that drives a lever that has hardened steel bushings on each side.

It will cut piano...
