Re: Small tools you ought to have

JayL, the number is 240-4637. I hope the number still works. This is what I have in cell. If the number does not work, tell me and I dig up my receipts to get their numbers there. Look for Michael or Vincent.

If you are in QC, there is an industrial supply at the corner of Kumuning and Anonas. They might have the jig. Sorry I don't have their number.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Thanks for the reply Incc63.

I tried the number above but its not in service anymore. Do you happen to remember the name of the store so I can can check the number in the yellow pages or probably give directions on how to get there.

Regards,

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Here is the number of their father's store: 656-7012. You can ask them for the number of Michael/Vince's store. They are very near one another. Sorry I'm not sure about the name. It is My Tools or something.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Thanks again Incc63. This time I got the store , My Tools Industrial and they confirmed that they have the jig and gave me a price of 490 pesos.

I was actually looking at the Drill Doctor but after reading your post again I decided to give this jig a try because its much more cheaper.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

They also have a Drill Doctor or something like it.

Just remember you need a bench grinder to use the jig.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Yes they quoted me 2,800 pesos for an integrated drill bit sharpening tool but its not Drill Doctor, lady said it was something made in Taiwan.

I do have a bench grinder so the jig looks as a more attractive option for me. Is it easy to use?

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Yes Jay it is very easy to use once you figure it out. The instructions are slightly cryptic but sufficient. After sharpening 2 bits, using it should be very easy for you.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Hi Incc63,

Thanks for your help. I already got the jig. I did not expect the store to be that good. So far I found a lot of quality items there but have not compared prices yet to my usual sources in Binondo and Amazon.com.

OT: What do you think about S-KS hand tools (drop forged) . I was quoted 2k for a 24 piece Combination Wrench set ( up to 32 mm ) . I actually need a second set to double with my Metrinch Mechanic set.

Regards....

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Glad you liked the shop JayL. You can also ask them to order stuff they don't have. My house is only about 3 km from there so I normally buy from them even if they are slightly higher.

Sorry JayL, I have no experience with the S-KS brand.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Hi Incc63,

I sharpened several more drill bits and somehow I'm getting better with using the jig. It really makes a lot of difference working with very sharp bits. I recommend this product too.

BTW have you tried using it to sharpen concrete bits? I have not tried this yet.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Glad you like it JayL. It will also come in handy when you break a bit and there is still enough left to get a short bit out of.

Concrete bits, no I have not tried but I don't think it will work because of the "special" pieces at the tip. I suspect you'd be better off using a diamond file to sharpen a concrete bit.

If you do try, I'd be very interested to know.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Check this out, I think its identical to the one Incc63 posted except for the brand plate.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Yup exactly the same. A lot of patents for still very useful if not essential tools are expiring everyday. This is why many of the once exclusively made tools are now available from other sources and can be affordable.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

Hi JayL, grateful if you could please SMS me store address / phone number of My Tools Industrial. I do have quite a lot of dulled drill bits and definitely need the sharpening jig. Many thanks.

Re: Small tools you ought to have

ooops. please sms me at 0920 438 2488. tnx again.
