Just got back from watching the new Spider-Man. Was hoping for more of that blonde but she wasn't in this one. I also got a sack of these in m3 but have yet to use any. |

The dies I have are a hex shape. I got them at Lowes but I don't remember the brand. The cardboard in the package is yellow. For the other side just flip it and chuck the newly threaded end. My 18v DeWalt was big enough to swallow the threads and not scar them. Quote:
I forgot about that. I'll open one tomorrow and see if it's got the 18650 batteries. Not a bad idea at all. | ||

I'm curious about how those inserts work. I was going to get them but I found the coils and went with them instead.

On paper, they seem to both be good ideas. Brake Weight's require drilling the holes oversized. Then you jamb/glue them in, correct? No biggie if the hole is already damaged. If the surrounding material is thin, this could be a concern. Not sure about Farabomb's coils. If they don't require drilling, could be an advantage.....?? | ||

The ones I have do require drilling but I don't think it's as much as the inserts. My caliper reads 3.1 on the bit so it's minimal. I've done both brand new and stripped holes and the brand new does fare better. I had issues with one of the stripped ones but got it to work. I'd think the inserts would do better in already trashed holes with some meat around them and the coils do best in new holes with little room around them. These are the ones I bought. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Seems they both have their place in the tool box. Thanks for detailing that out for the rest of us. Thanks for the link too. | |

| Re: #2 I REALLY NEED 2 or 3 of those M3 inserts!! Now!! I stripped the threads on my front Axle - where the Chubs get locked down..... Ideally, I would get Beef Tubes or just new Axles..... but I literally DON'T see that kind of money. Where did you get those, and how much, if you don't mind saying. Also, did you notice if I could just get a package of 4?? Thanks, and I'm seeing your Posts for the first time. LOTS of great money saving ideas!!! |

Just about....... 6mm would be WAY too long for the Axle Body, and I really didn't want to wait until the END of April to get them!! For whatever reason, China Shipments to the U.S. take LONGER than Canada, South America, UK or Europe.... That's OK! A few more clicks, and I found 3x3mm threaded inserts from Hong Kong, delivered by 12 March! Too bad though... the one in your link were about a Penny a piece! |

I put a fresh paint job on a week ago and finally took it for a thrashing. Had a little fun but the dry conditions weren’t working out. I’ll go again tomorrow and get a few action pics. I should’ve brought a different crawler on my trip to handle the dusty birms here.

I took it for a spin today. But after a decent tumble, this ensued. Looks like I’m leaning towards metal wheels from here on out. |
