Re: Automotive Tools

Thanks Sir Jay, Sir Guad.

Happen to pass by Harrison Plaza and unexpectedly saw this (new?) “WorkStation” hardware –Diy Store on the 2nd floor.

Just bought this out of impulse so I can try it out this weekend, couldn’t resist this Daiken 11" Locking C-Clamp, since the guy who assisted was friendly and it costs P334 less 10%. (Dunno of any price ref.) :confused:

Re: Automotive Tools

My Puma Air Drill's chuck is giving up the ghost. It has a problem now. The drill bit is skipping and rotating inside the chuck during medium torque drilling. This happens even when the chuck is fully tightened.

Can it be repaired or it now needs to be replaced?

Jacobs Multi Craft Chuck 1/2 (13mm cap) Model 3/8-24KK

and how do I remove it?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Update : On closer inspection I think the screw that holds the chuck is missing. Could this be what's causing the problem? I also don't know what kind of screw it is.

Re: Automotive Tools

JayL,

See the link below. There's a procedure how to dis-assemble the jacob chuck.

Re: Automotive Tools

Since we are in the mood for drills, I also wonder how to aling my hand drill.

Being a newb, I overlooked at checking if the Skil drill that I bought was centerly aligned when spinning (is there a better term for that) I only realized it when I was already working and using the said drill. Being such, the drill bits does not spin concentric with the chuck.

@ jarod

I think it has to do with the chuck ("3 finger like thingy") eto kase yun humahawak sa drillbit. Happened to my drill after mabagsak at tumama yun dulo ng chuck sa flooring.

I ended up buying a new set of chuck assembly. Madali lang naman magpalit.

Re: Automotive Tools

run out Jarod, could be lots of things. fisrt check the drill bits for straighness (from simplest to most difficult always), dirt inside chuck could also cause that(make sure its clean and free of debris. then check the chuck without a bit. fully close it and lay it flat so it will not move when you run the motor. visual check lang. if you see a wobble sa chuck send it over sa court, will give it to Golden for support. often it is caused by a the chuck shaft not properly installed or not centered. can also be caused when dropped. they will most probably remove and reinstall the chuck to get it centered if that is the cause.
btw, is the other term "excited"?

Re: Automotive Tools

Thanks bryant77 and timber715! Will do those and hopefully get to see what's really the problem. I saw that issue the first time I get to use the drill and that's why it hadn't seen much action after 2 times of usage because I'm of breaking the bits.

Hay...noobness!

If all else fails, I'll try to bring the drill to the supreme court for a hearing and hopefully all things would end well :p

I will be the judge of that.... hahahaha

Re: Automotive Tools

The Allen L key and hammer method didn't work out with my aging Puma air drill chuck removal.

However 2 days submerged in transmission fluid and a 135 ft-lb 3/8 drive impact wrench did the trick.

Now I need a new 1/2" ( 13mm ) chuck w/ 3/8 - 24UNF thread. 🙂

Blue Point Universal Overhead Cam Valve Spring Compressor Model YA9140

Re: Automotive Tools

16 Valve springs all in all.

This one below is the second generation design of the tool above. Model YA9140B.

Very good valve spring tool specially when doing Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) engines. Easy and convenient to use. I believe one member here was looking for a Valve Spring Tool before.

The same design is available at Panda under the Lota Brand. It is way much much cheaper than this Blue Point version.

Re: Automotive Tools

Current workshop WIP. Cylinder Head rebuild. Honda PEWD7 DOHC engine.

This surplus food cart below I converted / refitted for use as a Service Cart. I checked the market for a reasonably priced cart with acceptable quality but found none that met both criteria. Most probably I'll just DIY weld one together later. Looking for a good build design for now. Any suggestions?

Re: Automotive Tools

How often have you heard the word Lost Thread when referring to bolts and bolt holes. Sure sometimes you can use a Tap and Die set to fix these but more often than not this tool is too aggressive that it can cut in new unwanted threads.

The proper tool to fix lost threads is a Rethreading Kit. Used properly it will restore the old threads to original condition.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for Snap On is a US company named Kastar. You can get the same kit cheaper directly from them.

Re: Automotive Tools

Oh my, oh my! Now I know what "shop" to visit just in case. But I pray I don't get into that situation 😀

Kaya pala di kita nakita kanina sir Jay, you're busy rebuilding. Good luck and keep it up!
