Hi Bill,It was a die type press ,the area that it presses is 30mm in the die when i have used the same tool when making steering and rudder cables , i have also swaged 8mm ss wire to tension for cyclone cables very strong ,but you must tension until the release valve in the tool releases cheers Gareth

  16. Nic, you sound quite young , having a go at us oldies saying we long for the "good old days " is wrong , what we mean is that us oldies came up in a different time , where we were responsible for our actions, we were all so post war and there was work in abundance , now most of you "younger ones " dont really know bad times , your parents fed you , housed you , educated you, looked after you financially for a long time , us oldies however worked hard and wanted better things for our kids far from whinging look at it from our side , we are now over regulated , nanny state mindless reg,s could go on , we didn,t sit in airconditioned offices with our bums on chairs staring at computors all day , technology is great , but we still need people to manufacture ,and as someone said no government is interested in it , so lets all get jobs in technology and let the peasents do the grunt work cheers gareth

  18. Unions have thier place but politacal parties shoud not be involved with them and there are thugs in unions
  19. Yes Nev, i come from a Welsh background who mostlty were labour and union, my father always voted conservative in UK a war veteran he was dismayed how labour treated them after WW11, till his dying day was a staunch conservative ,me i am liberal in my thinking and as you say lean that way , but labour has only ever made monumental stuff ups for us, pollies of all colours say that they will be for the country and people BUT always toe the party line, all political parties are this way and the loony greens would always be lefties,i have little faith in ANY pollies ( i have worked for one years ago, ) they start out fresh and with vigour but soon become pigs at the trough
  20. You think there is decency in politics, gillard lied, rudd the backstabber,tony too conservative,,turnbull to much money to understand ,shorten the union thug,keating the smarmy bxxtard,hawke the union thug,the list is endless,at least little johnny kept us in the black, pollies are mostly in it for the gravy and large super , and the greens loony tunes
  21. rudd just wanted to get on the gravy train, he cannot get a job because he is a career pollie and that means he useless for anything in the real world
  22. For sale Avmap EK4 new never used in aircraft comes with mount for dash
  23. He is also on my ignore list.
