would it be strong enough to drill through plastic fuel lines in an .049 cox?

Russe, it is not strength is the issue, it is the fact that it is utter crap build quality. The center line of the tool was over 0.092" of center. As long as you dont need precision drilling it might hold up.

if i was going to try i would get a separate set of just drill bits, anything steel alloy seems to get good ratings, and i would drill a hole before running these through something that thick, one inch would be about the max, since the bits are only a few inches long and the threading teeth start about a half inch in. Just keep in mind any expensive small drill bits will still break if you don't take your time working with metal.

Yes, drill out the orifice with a #45 drill bit. I did this & it works fine on natural gas.

That is exactly what I am using it for. I drilled the brass jet with a 1/16 inch drill bit for natural gas but I have not tried it yet. To me it looks like there are too many flame holes. If you plug about half of them off somehow bet you will get much better heat control.

As long as you watch duty cycle, I would say yes. Have run some mild steel 5/32 successfully but have not run hardface

Not an easy answer here. This gauge is designed for a standard above ground fuel oil tank. It screws directly into the top of the tank itself. I suppose that if your tank is right at the surface you could use this, but the plastic cover will be right at ground level. I am not sure just how desirable that would be. you would almost certainly have to put some sort of guard around it, and it could be pretty tough to read. There is a certain amount of extra length to the top part of the gauge, and with a bit of ingenuity you could install this thing in an extension pipe. and then a bit of adjusting would be indicated(bending the float arm). I would talk to your local oil supplier and see if they had anything they would recommend for use in a buried tank.

It comes with barbed connector's for soft fuel line. 3/8 I'd I think, Don't know the exact thread size

I have not used mine in any tight places, most of what I do is bench work. I wish I had had one years ago when I had a remodeling business, all I had for plumbing was an acetylene torch. Seems like it ought to be pretty hand for most of the tight places, sorry I can't give you anything from personal experience.

yes.....this drill has a lot of torque. I had no problems drilling 1/4" steel in my back yard repairing a fence.

I worked at Boeing for several years and have worked with O material as well as clad. I'd say it would depend on the size of bore or hole that you would need. Under 3/8th's, it would probably do a passable job of it but anything over 1/2 in., it might be a bit rough. I've used mine for wood such as oak which is fairly hard itself.

Most likely it would if you can identify the type plastic you are trying to repair to ensure compatibility with the plastic "welding rods". I have not found this product to be useful where appearance is important. It is difficult to sand and grind smooth and still have remaining strength.

Sure, and it has its own clamps for small work. Very wee built and stays accurate during drilling.

I would say that it would do fine in plastic, as long as you have a starting hole or indentation. I use a sharp scribe to make an indentation for starting the drill. For something round, you might have some problems holding the object firm, though. Good luck.

Maybe. This 40 Gauge is neither very thick or very thin. Easy to handle yet still strong.

Definitely! My husband is a welder and he purchased this drill to use at work on sheet metal, pipe, etc. Still works GREAT after tons of wear and tear.

Yes, the steel is pretty heavy gauge, and I use it with a bayou classic outdoor propane burner. You can also mod it with a step drill bit i.e. add thermometer, spigot, etc. I would definitely recommend it for brewing.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.
