Mark here product manager at Eastwood and what we're going to do is show you some tips and tricks to
help around the shop
and also some great new products
let's get started
first thing we're going to show you is
basic it cutting with the hacksaw
here's what is your cutting a round object like this
if this were nice if this were nice machine finish or plated
you're going to end up sliding off until you get a groove going
Take your thumb and lay it down there
you can not cut
your nail on a vertical
it gives you the perfect
starting point
everytime you lay it down on your cutline
it works on round objects or square
next thing
drilling holes
as simple as it may seem
everyone's
ran into it here's where i wanted my hole
here's where it actually went
here's a trick, always drill your holes with pilots
i like to use a three sixteen
you go um...
use an eighth whatever bit you want
start on it now with a hole like this what you can do
is you can move that
simply get an angle and move slow
we can move it as far as you want, when you get back to the center point
turn it right back up
now you're back on center
as you can see there
and then when you come in
you're finished size
you'll have the hole perfectly centered where you needed it
now
sheet metal
you're gonna be working on sheet metal a lot with your projects
whether it's automotive
uh... general fab around the house
drilling holes through sheet metal
same thing
you come through here
once you have your punch-through you can end up with a bur
on the back side
every time
That's what you're gonna end up with
So again easy way to clean that up
drill bit twice the diameter
by hand
couple turns
will pull that bur right off
here's another trick
you'll notice once you get into
anything over three eighths
round drill bits
can drill triangular shaped holes in sheet metal
it's a phenomenon that nobody really knows about
but what we end up with
is not what you wanted
here's the way to solve that problem
start drilling your hole
like we have here, we just started this one
right when you feel the punch through
right when you feel the tip break through the metal
like you see there, the small point
if your project allows you flip it over
then go ahead
finish the hole
from the opposite side
eliminate the bur
and you end up with
perfectly round hole
this works great especially with your larger diameters, like I said, once you get
into anything over three eighths
go ahead punch through
flip it over and finish it from the other side
now what i want to do
is talk about cotter pins
simple little product
can save your life
or end it and cause disaster
what I want to show you is a quick tip
how a cotter pin is installed
what we got here is just a typical upper ball joint. It may look good
but it's totally incorrect
There is only one way
to install a cotter pin and
one way to remove it
simply use a pair of side cutters
flatten it out
pull it out in one piece
when you install a cotter pin it
can only go one way
install it straight up
same thing
take your side cutters
trim this one here this piece here
you want no lower than your your castle nut
right down there
when you trim it
just simply hold your hand over
sides folded down
same thing with this
this side
fold flat
one-half diameter
of the stud
just roll that right over
now let's check out four of the latest tools from eastwood
now let's take a moment
to show you some great new products that we got here at eastwood
these things are new rust brush
and what they do
is tear off any
coatings or rust
simple to use
simply put it into any
three-eighths corded or
cordless drill. Typical wire brushes
is radial in fashion and about half inch thick so you only have that half inch width that
you're cutting this thing is a full four inch
so when you are remove
any type of rust or coating
as quick as that
this is great for cleaning up frame or suspension components or general
all-around the shop useage
we got a set of five of them here
the cost is uh... just about the same as what you pay for one spiral round brush
so if you've got a project where you're trying to remove coatings or rust
this is a must have system
How familiar is this?
anytime you change your oil whether it's the classic or daily driver this is what you
end up with
now let's check Eastwood's great solution
The great thing about this tool
it's
set up to utilize the traditional eight-inch socket
and what it does
it has internal flutes to
capture the filter and all the residual oil. The bellows here allow
different sizes different mounting pads
of the filters
now
this eliminates that mess no more oil on your hands, no more on the shop floor
none of it on the late models leaking on the suspension components or under body
plastic
your filter then
simply removed and thrown away
great product
we have three different sizes that fit about ninety percent of all the vehicle
on the road today

anytime you working on automobiles doing any collision or rust removal you'll
run into spot welds
You're all probably familiar with drilling them out that's a good time.
But how about replacing them?
best thing you can do
is utilize our new Eastwood spot weld kit
what this kit does is allow you to take your mig welder
and create
OE looking
but structurally sound spot welds. Look at the backside
full penetration through both panels
and you end up with
exact resistance type spot weld that was original done at the factory
the kit itself
very easy
we the specially designed
clamping pliers
these cutouts here, what that does is
any type of pinch welds
allows you to clamp and secure the pieces together
and this nozzle with these leg extensions that we have machined into
this is a current mig nozzle
but you do is simply remove that
install the eastward spot weld nozzle
what these two
legs give you is the exact standoff
needed from the trip
to the substrate every time
this is what achieves the repeatability and all the spot welds
looking the same
second feature of them
is alignment
once your panel is clamped here
this allows you to come in
and the legs position
right into the clamping area
you know exactly where the spot weld will be every time
but we also include his
double ended
three sixteen drill bits
these are for doing plug welds if you got a small welder
or you're working with some really heavy gauge material
what you do is take the top panel
go ahead and
drill your plug weld hole through that
clamp them and using the tip do the same spot weld through there, it insurers penetration
through those panels
now these pieces here this one is still warm this is something that we just did
I'm going to show you
what you're going to have to do
to get these things apart
literally
you're gonna have to tear the metal
around those welds
what we have right there
that's the only way
these welds are coming apart
so you can be assured
you're getting complete
and the OE appearance you're going after
so go ahead
