Stuck bore brush

[SOLANCO]

All of my fiddling and repair work on BP guns, unmentionables, motorcycles, boats, jetskis, and sundry other mechanical doo dads could not happen without an extensive set of taps, dies and thread gauges in SAE, metric and Whitworth sizes. You might have been able to change threads or chase damaged ones to work. Even a cheap Harbor Freight set is invaluable to the home shade tree mech

Harbor Freight opened here recently and it is early days yet. But a lot of what I see looks better than what is on offer at Homey Depot and Lowes. Yes, I know. Damning with faint praise.

On the other hand, I am a homeowner. Few of my tools will need the longevity of those owned by a tradesman.
