Re: [MBZ] Opinions on Eastwood Cobra torch?

Yes, I have the Henrob torch, have used it a lot, but recently replaced it with the Meco Midget which I find easier to use in tight quarters - like welding up tube clusters in a fuselage. I have the complete kit, but have never used the cutting torch. If I were starting again, I'd just buy the Meco

That's what I did - the metal sits in the slot and turns it. I didn't see a reason to fasten it, but I also don't see any reason not to. Remember, I'm not an engineer, I only play like one ... On Wed, Jul 22, 2020 at 9:41 AM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Right b

I have to eat out often due to work. I’m sick of having to tear open these paper salt and pepper packets. At the hotel instead of having salt and pepper shakers on the tables they have bins of these things. So people reaching in and grabbing them is better than having shakers on the tables? Some
