12 Tools Worth Buying
|
Finding the center every time You have a hole in one panel and you want to find the exact center on an overlapping panel. There’s a tool that will make that very simple. It’s called a Strap Duplicator and it comes in different hole sizes and depths. The most popular size is No. 40, 12-inch working length. On the bottom of the piece a peg slips into the hole, and then the overlapping panel slides between the forks of the duplicator. A light blow with a hammer or just the spring-loaded snap will accurately find the center every time, providing perfect alignment with the existing hole. There is a variation of this tool that permits drilling directly through the tool if you prefer. Either way this is a great problem solver. They are available for less than $20 from ATS (Aircraft Tool Supply). www.aircraft-tool.com View Related Article
