Tech Counselor Tips

By Norris Warner

1. Going to "pop" a lot of blind rivets? Harbor Freight (1-800-423-2567) is offering their air hydraulic riveter (item #00167-6BPB) at half price,
$26.49. Jack Ridgway's Moni has lots and lots of stainless "pop" rivets, and all were pulled successfully with this neat tool. The local outlet on Fredericksburg Road may honor this price.

2. To cut 4130 steel tubing, your ordinary tubing cutter--meant for copper and aluminum tube cutting--does the job easy and fast. Try it--you'll like it~

3. Need to drill hardened tail wheel springs? Can't be done? Easy! Just chuck an ordinary masonry drill bit in your drill press and you'll be amazed how easy it is.

4. Got your own favorite trick you'd like to share? Call one of your chapter Tech Counselors and they'll add it to this list.
