Soda Blaster

Soda blasting is a great way to clean up bike parts as it is very gentle compared with bead blasting, wire brushing etc. We had had a DIY go at soda blasting in the past and were not impressed with the results, so when this new product became available we were more than a little sceptical. When the test unit arrived we gave it a go on a set of painted throttle bodes and we were blown away (pun intended)! We have bought the test unit and are very happy to sell the product. This unit comes with 1Kg of Soda media.

The blasting will not damage glass, rubber or plastic and you need very little masking when blasting. Unlike glass beads the media is not going to damage delicate engine parts. From a mess perspective you would be ill advised to use it indoors, but it is fine to use on the lawn or whereever as the used media is 100% harmless to the environment and will eventually simply blow away.

The manufactures recommends using a compressor capable of providing at least 180 litres/minute or 6.5 CFM; any compressor over 1½ HP should be fine. It is rated for 6 - 12 Bar (87 - 174 psi). We will supply it with either PCL (RHS in photo below) or HiFlo (LHS in photo below) connectors depending on what is on your air line.

Scalpel and 5 Blades

Swann-Morton have been making the finest quality scalpels and handles in Sheffield, England for over 80 years. Whilst they are obviously most commonly thought of as a medical tool, we have been using them in our workshop for years and can't imagine life without them. The list of uses is literally endless. Common uses are for trimming masking when painting bike parts as well as scraping clean machined surfaces. Whilst they make a huge range of blades and handles, the old No3 handle with 10A blades is undoubtably the most useful. Having worked in graphics and print where these tools are commonplace, we brought them into the bike workshop, where they have been invaluable.

Seal and 'O' Ring Removal Set

We bought this new product a few months ago and have found it to be excellent. It's one of those tool sets you never knew you needed; but now we wouldn't let it out of our workshop for all the tea in China. The product below was fantastic compared with screwdrivers etc - but this set is another ball game. There are tools for every seal we have come across since it's purchase. It not only gets them out more easily but also removes them in such a way that you could re-use them if they were in good condition originally, though we tend to renew seals as a matter of course.

Metric Tap & Die Set

This is a very comprehensive tap and die set which is great for bikes as it has plenty of metric fine threads. The downside is at this price it isn't top end industrial quality, so if you're regularly cutting threads in 316 marine grade stainless, you'll need to dig deeper :) For cleaning out threads and making odd parts and repairs for your project bikes it will be fine. For high quality industrial threading tools you will pay the cost of this set for one size of taps (1st, 2nd taper and plug). A particular bonus with this set is that it has M7 which is uncommon but is often used on motorcycle caliper bleed nipples, which often get neglected and need the threads clearing!

The set has taps and dies to cover the following sizes: M3 x 0.5, M3 x 0.6, M4 x 0.7, M4 x 0.75, M5 x 0.8, M5 x 0.9, M6 x 0.75, M6 x 1.0, M7 x 0.75, M7 x 1.0, M8 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5, M12 x 1.5, M12 x 1.75 and 1/8" NPT x 27 (National Pipe Thread x 27TPI). The set also contain two tap wrenchs, a 25mm die stock, a rubbish screw driver, a rubbish looking centre punch, a useful wire brush and an uber useful thread pitch guage.
