Are some of the 427 hammers metric?
Not that I am aware of…

Besides…when I am reaching for a hammer, usually the bigger the better and something has likely gone wrong already…so I don’t care what persuasion it is.:rolleyes:

The cordless drill mag base works great. I used it to drill and tap around 40 3/8”-16 holes through 3/4” steel.

Today, I made a mag base tapping guide. It uses a 3/8” ratchet, a 6” extension and tap sockets. I have a Gearwrench ratcheting T handle tap wrench and a 3/8” square adapter that I can use in place of a 3/8” ratchet. Again, I had to get creative with setups on my lathe to machine it.

Might have to steal that design, looks pretty handy!

I needed to make a couple bends in a piece of 16ga stainless today, so I made a simple vise brake with some scraps. The welds aren’t pretty because the gas bottle ran out mid way.
