We have SO at work. these days most of their stuff is BluePoint and just as crappy as anything out there. You can not beat SO for sockets and spanners but as you say the prices are just out of this world. I know a few guys have gone away from SO saying they can buy 3 or 4 times for the price of 1 SO. So they but good, and replace more often. They say its cheaper than SO and no less effective.
Everything we have ordered from SO over the last 18 months has been on 6 week back order and that includes common sockets. I think they have pushed their rep just a little too far. My Opinion only not that of the froum.

I have seen guys make soft jaws out of sheet of copper just hammered to fit. Works really well.

I wonder how much distortion would happen if this goes through the oven for powder coat? I seem to remember they heat to over 250 degrees. What do you think? I would hate to go for it and find all that work wrecked when I go to collect it.

Now thats just weird. I was thinking, after the first tack up that the tank could do with a slow even bake to stress relief it. So what temp does powder coat take it up to?
