Hello Hausmeister,

I was going to follow erik11's advice and make my own degreaser. I will have something to do from Monday afternoon. And as I ordered a screwdriver, I'll see if I can manage with it.

Clemens suggests the product DEBLOCK OIL from INNOTEC. This option is interesting, but no matter where it is sold, it will not be delivered for 15 days. But it seems to be a "must to have". I think to buy a bottle or 2 in september.

Long live the products of the farm!


I have two Knipex circuit clamps, I must say they seem like good tools. I discover, with this 850, the pleasure of working with quality tools and the good advice of all the active members of the forum on my topics...

Thanks to all of you, I'm making great progress !

I have used this type impact tool with surprising results many times. It even works on straight and Phillips head screws.

So, always listen to those who know...

Looking good!

Mix vigorously right before every application. The phases will separate out quickly.
