Subject: Re: flanging tools/nibblers
I have been on the lookout for something like this myself and have not
found it in any of the usual places (Sears, Home Depot, Lowes). I just
ordered the Eastwood catalogue. Could someone please give me a number for
Harbour Freight thier name keeps cropping up, and I feel like I must be
missing something to not have thier catalogue.
I did read a suggestion in an MG Midget restoration book: The author made
his own "flanger" by welding small pieces of metal on the inside of the jaws
of a mole wrench.
Along the same vein - any reccomendations regarding nibblers. I need a
small tool to get into narrow recesses in the back of my boot. I have areas
of localized rust to get rid of and nither my air hammer nor my angle cutter
will reach in there. Has anyone tried the small hand - nibbler sold by
Eastwood? The air nibbler I saw at Home Depot looked like it would take more
air than my 5hp 20gal compressor will deliver.
