Pin holders

When you have older stuff like me, it is important to have good tools. I had a windshield washer squirter that would only squirt a couple inches high. These tiny drills and holders solved the problem. Anybody else use these?

WHole Number drill set, plus a pin chuck for a power drill, and hand chuck like those. Very important tools. Jim
 
I use this for tiny drilling in my manual milling machine.....

I have mine fitted with an Albrecht 0-3mm precision chuck.

I use the pin vise set to hold tiny drills when doing hand work like clearing clogged carb jets.
 
I have a set #60 - #80 that I use from time to time. Cleaned out the pilot orifice on a water heater. And I'll use them on a particularly stubborn plugged carburetor jet if nothing else will work. Don't drop them!
 
Have a set at work and home. Very handy at times. After I smashed a finger I used one to drill through my finger nail to relieve the built up blood pressure. I hate doing that.
 
The absolute earliest thing I can remember from my dad about fixing anything, was dad saying you had to keep tag wire around to clean windshield washer squirts. I know it was years before I found out what "tag wire" was.
 
For cleaning out carburetor jets i use a bread wrapper wire. I always have someone wanting me to look at there mower. I carry one in my billfold.
 
I forgot to mention that those squirters can be adjusted. After I cleaned out the orfice, it was squirting clear over the top of my pickup. You can use a drill bit to aim the stream where you want. Just stick the shank end in the hole and move it around.
 
I also have used a vice grips and pluck a steel wire from a steel brush. It is a lot firmer wire and can really get things unplugged. That or a torch tip cleaner.
 
They also work for different brands of carbs too, ha! I bought this 87 Toyota 4X4 pickup with a worn out engine. I rebuilt it but was really disappointed because it only got 16 MPG. I soldered up the jets and redrilled them out smaller and got it up to 20 MPG. It should get at least 25 MPG but it won't. I suspect it's because it has large tires, but still.

ets are broached, not drilled. Amazing you were able to get it to run.
 
I've been rejetting carbs for
years.Sometimes for power; sometimes for
economy. I know lots of other people do
too. A drilled hole would probably make it
run better because it might add a tiny bit
of turbulence to the gas. You should go to
a drag race and explain to them that their
engines shouldn't run.
 
Ha, I hear you; don't drop them. It will take a while to get them back in order with a zero to one inch Mic if you do!
