Bump Everytime You Buy Something New

[Compenstine]

I bought a few of these today. They work really well for a cheap Atty holder. You can get them at Dollar Tree for $1ea.

[Tam]

Hey Tam did you see what item I put at the top of the list?

Yes, I noticed it right off! You did good, Jerryjoe. That deserves a HUGE attaboy!

[jerryjoe]

Where ya goin? Can you link me that three hour tour of coiling please (: I have seen some coil vids but none that long/detailed.

I work on an oil rig in a section of the gulf of mexico called Eugene Island. About 100 miles of the coast of Louisiana.

Here's the links to the videos. It's part 1-5. All tolled it's something like 2 hours and 48 minutes.

That's a good boy!

I really don't want to blow anything off of me

[jerryjoe]

So I got my needle nose pliers, dykes, mini screwdriver set, tweezers and a magnifying glass. They had a torch but it was $26. I think I can do better than that. I'm checking home depot tomorrow.

Does anyone else think $26 is high for a little butane torch?

[Aquatroy]

Not for a good micro torch, but some are junk. 12 dollar home depot model works fine...

[jerryjoe]

Thanks troy. Home depot it is. Tomorrow. Unfortunately they don't stay open till 11 o'clock at night

If I remember correctly mine was around $28 or so.

I watched a video where they used a bic lighter to burn their kanthal. I could do that if I wanted to couldn't I?

I used to use a blowtorch on the coils but now I use a mini butane lighter (mini torch) After I saw a video with a guy using this, I got one, the clear one. Lol Edited June 6, 2014 by VaporTron

[jerryjoe]

Where did you get that tron?

[Proetus]

Bunch of wire, heatshrink and bullet connectors from Hobbyking.

[crush02342002]

see those from time to time at gas stations in shady areas of town. I got one similar but it has a broader flame from a local b&m. I used to collect "jet lighters". you can find these things online for cheap as dirt.

[crush02342002]

look up jet lighter on ebay...you get these things for 5 bux...if you want a higher end lighter check out www.elighters.com

I have 3 torches I can use. One is a combo Bernzomtic soldering micro torch, Have one of the Bernzomatic mini torches (use this mostly now) and a lighter size torch. The lighter torch works best for the 30 and 32 gauge wire as the bigger torches have a tendency to melt the wire.

Yha I bought this bc sometimes my wire would melt using a blow torch Edited June 6, 2014 by VaporTron
