You guys are such hardcore manly men. I posted a review about a tool that I like. I hate to drag you guys into the 21st. century but you no longer have to pump water by hand or go outside to take a crap. If you are not into using something new that’s great but why run your mouth because others may find it useful. Get a life.

Dang bro. I know you're old and such but you need to cool down a bit. Is that what they call in your 60's crisis? Just go for a ride with your Harley or jump off of an airplane like you've done many times bafore .

I remember you from the kiddie forum .

You posted it here so you're going to get both good and not so good opinions.

Ha ha ha ha........ Some people are just wound tighter than others. I think the sarcastic banter and badgering is one of my favorite parts of this forum. Yes it's a cool jig but I'm still a whipersnapper and can see without my octafocals and my hands don't shake to badly yet.... Lighten up man were just havin some fun here. Everyone has different needs some will love it and others don't need it.

Ditto. It's like some people like WYSIWYG editors because they are soooo easy, while others still swear by VI despite its less-than-intuitive interface....

Your review is appreciated and it's a clever tool but you must realize most members here have ben soldering long befor jigs were availible and have overcome the need for such in various ways. While no one has said the jig is junk or unreliable we just do certain things our way due to being the grizzled old bastards we are.
Also, lighten up. You'll pop a gasket if you get upset about a little ribbing around here, they take that as a sign of weakness and then swarm in for the kill.

Well put Bondonutz, And some members are particular to Krylon spray paint, while others may use it also they may not be as impressed.

If you miss him, send him a PM
I think he tired of not being taken seriously ?

Well said Bondo and Bruce.

I guess it's easy to assume that everybody here has the same soldering problems that they have over there in the kiddie forum

Two video's of soldering 6.5mm bullets I made for a member here, and a short explanation of series and parallel.

I usually use a bench vise, but I was in a hurry to get him the info...

Hey, at least the Product Review forum doesn't show that Maxamps bash thread every time now.

I clamp my wire to a piece of plywood on my kitchen counter (my workbench) with one of these:



I've used various techniques to hold my bullet connector in place while I solder - it usually involves placing the tool that is closest at hand up against the bullet to keep it from moving. Works every time.



(I've used Krylon Fusion more than once to paint Lexan - I've been happy with the results but I'm not going to recommend it to you)




(I've never built a truck for $12.48 though)

Ssssshhhhhh dont bring it up, maybe it will go away... :-)
