How to use Chinese tools

John Poulos 19 April 2005 03:07:56
 I'm using air tools 8 hours a day, day after day doing the paint on the
wrapper. I drove up to the Harbor Freight store and bought a $24.95 air
file, a $19.95 D-A and a $19.95 spray gun. (For primer) I figure if I
burn them up, I'll just swap for new ones under the 90 day warranty.

BTW, brand new Chinese air tools work better that 10 year old US
stuff. <g> I also bought their sand paper, $17.95 roll for D-A paper,
not the $57 for 3M.

 How many Studebakers are you selling to Chinese clients? You expected to
take advantage of lower quality (burn them up/90 day warranty). And while
we watch American industry be shipped across the pond. Walmart must be a
favorite, too.

 Name me a new American made air tool ? I could have bought a Chinese
made air tool with a US manufacturers label. i.e. a Ingersoll-Rand label
on my $25 air file would set me back another $75-$100.
Reminds me of the guys that wanted a Jensen stereo because they were
made in the US 40 years ago and they thought they still were. Jensen
went to Japan, than Taiwan, than Korea, now China.

 ISTR that your old air file was a Snap-On? why don't you hold onto it
and see if you can get a friendly shop to trade it in for you, they
should have a lifetime warranty (I believe that's only if it is Snap-On
though, if it's "blue point" that's also sold by Snap-On but doesn't
have the warranty)

 Correction: Name me a American made air tool for auto body work. If
I need a jack hammer, I'll look at the APT stuff though. <g>

 Well its been a couple of years since I was working in trade, but, Hutchins
made air files and DA's for body work.And as far as I know they are still
made in the US.
http://www.hutchins­mfg.com/contact/alst­ory.html
Also the same for cleco, aircraft body tools.
Also a company called National Detroit.
http://www.national­detroit.com/global/
But if you want loose tolerances on bearings. Non iodized backplates. Liners
and rotors that are non harden. Aluminum with porosity. And the durability
of a cardboard box, Buy Chinese.

 Also don't forget about the Viking air tools.
The air file is still made in the US.

 OK you win, they have one mini-air file left in the line made in the
USA. If I needed one, it would be a option. <g>

 Ok I apologize for pushing it. But for those still interested
The American air tool line isn't quite dead yet.
Dynabrade, "The Cadillac of DA sanders".
http://www.dynabrad­e.com/
Danair, mostly nailers.
http://www.danairin­c.com/products.html
Florida Pneumatic, a solid company , some from the US, some from Japan. Cut
off tools are excellent.
http://www.florida-­pneumatic.com/fp.htm­
Sioux air tools, some made in the US, but not all.
http://www.browntoo­l.com/productselect.­asp?ProductID=192
http://www.browntoo­l.com/productselect.­asp?ProductID=626
These tools are mostly high end tools, but these tools will
last most people a lifetime.
Remember, any air tool will lasts a long time if you,
Keep it clean, keep the water from the air line out of it.
And oil it every time you use it, and every time you put it up. Almost any
oil will do,mystery oil to ISO 15 light hyd. oil. Air tools aren't picky.

 Hey, I'm learning stuff. i.e. never knew there was a $300 D-A. I
agree it'll probably last a lifetime, but I'm old enough that cheap
tools will too.

"Cheap" tools are fine for "hobbyists," if not for folks making a "serious"
living with them. I have DA sanders, impact wrenches, ratchet wrenches,
chisels, etc. that I bought on the "cheap" that have been around for 20
years or more, still working fine. OTOH, I'll burn out a cheap buffer in a
matter of weeks. Anymore, when I buy a buffer, I step up and pay the price.

As I have said before, the only problem I have with air tools is the
requirement that they be oiled daily. I'll use some of these tools once
every month or two, but come down to the shop every morning before heading
to work, just to oil them. Twice a month I have to pour the extra oil out
of my tool box drawers, and that's a PITA!

But, I take care of my tools, cheap or not, by golly! I guess that is why
some of the "cheapies" have been around so long.
