MAGNETIC PERSONALITY
May 10th
This super-flexible magnetic pick-up tool from Laser Tools (part number 7026) has a useful 300 mm length but features a very narrow shaft diameter of just 4mm, which makes it ideal for retrieving those metal nuts, bolts, screws and other metal pieces that have found their way into areas otherwise inaccessible.
If you’ve had to drill out a seized glow plug, this pick-up tool is narrow enough to be inserted into the glow-plug aperture to retrieve any metal swarf or broken glow-plug debris.
The soft grip handle provides comfort and control over the movement of the pick-up tool. The flexible shaft can More >

BONDING. JAMES BOND(ING) – SORRY!
May 4th
I’m a big fan of the products sold by E-Teck, a broad range of stuff that is absolutely ideal for kitcar enthusiasts, either on the car or around the home.
Take their MS55 Professional Adhesive & Car Body Seam Sealer. I’ve been using it on our RPX and Abster projects and also to seal a bit of plywood boxing-in I was doing in our kitchen!
A professional-grade adhesive that is high-strength and extremely flexible, meaning that is spot-on for when fitting a car body to a chassis. Strong enough to stick fast, but with enough flex to ensure it stays stuck.
It dries More >
