    It’s fitting that in this video about family the first person to comment was my son. I introduced him to your channel a few months back and when this dropped he immediately sent me the link. On our way home he saw that you had liked his comment and the grin on his face was priceless. Thanks for the memory DT. We’ll keep bonding over your channel for as long as you keep the videos coming.

    I recently had to wrangle the centre stand spring back on my bicycle. It's held on by a bolt that goes through the front forks and shares it with the basket mount. It was nigh on impossible. When I finally managed to get it back on after a lot of sweating and straining I realised I forgot to replace the basket mount and had to do it all over again. Watching you fight with the spring on your press was exactly the therapy I needed to recover. Thank you.

    I repaired the press frame of one of these for a friend. If you take that drill out of the frame and use it freehand, it will absolutely kill you. There is so much torque it will throw you all over the garage. Completely awesome.

      there's a video on TH-cam of some jewelers making a massive cuban link chain, and they use one of those, with a super-slow gear reduction to twist two gold bars together, and it absolutely looked like they're wrangling with death every moment they've been using it

      I made a paddle type bit a few feet long to make holes in the ground to feed tree roots.
      There was no stalling that motor! Just had to make sure it didn't get in a position that you couldn't release the trigger.

    I am currently repairing a similar drill to this, and I broke the part pictured in your hands at 8:15 while disassembling it. I have been trying to recreate that part since, and was wondering if you might be able to provide some measurements or some sort of help since you have the same exact part, but whole. If you can't or don't feel like going through the motions of disassembling the whole thing again, that's alright as well. This would be very helpful for me.

If you are able to email me the information, you can use the email I have for “business inquiries.” I'm not exactly sure what type of measurements you want to do on it, but I was mostly wondering the size of the main hole on it.

      @@Nicotinebeige222 I believe it was mid 50's or so through mid 70's for the plastic stocks before the 25 was originally discontinued.
      If I'm not mistaken the no.25 was introduced in about 1912 or so, but that was long before daisy created the standard 4.5mm steel bb.
      There's a less common late example with a different stock made from a regular ABS, but most of the plastic stocks were made from some stuff that's prone to warping with age.
      The modern gun has a safety and a much stiffer trigger pull, bit it's not unusable at all.
      Accuracy is decent, power is lower than the originals but still perfectly fine, and overalll Fit & finish is good.
