HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch & Proper Screwdrivers

[cjtamu]

decent bits , but the smaller size used for scope rings round out after a short time .

I don’t use the hexes from the kits. I have a set of metric Ofna bits and Imperial MIP bits that are 1/4” drive so they fit right into the Wheeler fat wench. Relics from when I raced RC cars seriously. Ofna no longer in production but I think MIP still is. You won’t find better hexes.

Wheeler driver has soft bits , they strip easily , the bit is soft , maybe so it doesn't strip the screw ? had to buy a set of better harder bits . the torque handle works great

Ive read that in a few posts around and some get " deformed" / poorly made bits in a kit..

I'm a big fan of the Chapman stuff. Excellent stuff, I believe lifetime warranty and made in Connecticut. I order it directly to maximize their profits. I ordered an extra #19 bit for locking up the Weihrauch pivot bolt assemblies.

I hope that was for more attachments and not shipping....

The only issue I have with the multi-bit sets is they will not work on adjusting the trigger without taking the trigger guard off.

It was announced today that Canada is now prepared to help the United States in its war against terrorism.
They have promised to commit 2 of their largest battleships, 6,000 armed troops, and 60 fighter jets.

However, after the exchange rate, that comes down to a canoe, 2 Mounties, and a flying squirrel.

Sorry. Couldn't resist, but I do hope the levity helped your mood.

So they were too cheap to throw in the beaver as the submarine?

Don’t mention Beavers. Last few years I planted over 40 trees. Spruce, Pine, Birch and Maple. Just this week Beavers took out 3 of my biggest Birch I planted. Gone. Crow

Im sure they appreciate it ...

Ya, they can do some chewin. ( and fast)

So i went out and took the die grinder and made a hollow ground flat blade from one of the many screwdrivers in the screwdriver draw. ( best hardened steel shank one ).. took the hw and custom fit it to its slots . Serms ok and a good positive fit .. ( used the example pictures i found around on that )

Sounds like you need a new beaver gun.

I’ve got one but can’t shoot. I have a neighbour that is a Trapper. I put wire around other trees. Crow

Has anyone swapped slotted screws on Weihrauch’s for socket head screws?

This was typically my first step on powder burners to assure consistency.

Plenty.. i even think about hered a kit with brass cup washers for the forend.

Just Google it around and for example.

Ive changed out the small trigger guard one with a t10 screw ..

 

[Denster]

The Wheeler set and the Chapman set are the best you will find. You don't need both but you will really like having both.
