Its an Aimsak (www.aimsak.com), AMW 718L, (12.7 mm)1/2" drive impact wrench, 18V Li-ion 3.0Ah, 392Nm, which is highest i found, also LED light to. Bundle came with charger and two batteries, plus 1/2" quick release screw-driver bit holder. replacement Battery only $88 long way better than the usual $120 +.
Aimsak website offer an e-catalog (2Mb PDF) download it and think worth a look, they been making impact drivers since 1989 or something Pebbles. The AMW 718L is (I think) a proper rattle gun not something else.
Most of the more well known brand names cost heaps more. And the catch seems to be they all have different fitting batteries.
looked on eBay for five hours searching for a good impact wrench before i came across this Korean made impact wrench, got it yesterday, it feels really good and has very high Nm
In an earlier thread on here i posted the Swiss Franc v US$ values over the years. In 1980 the US$ dropped %32 and has since that time lost value against the more stable F$Swiss
But i would agree if confidence is lost those trading gold futures could be faced with margin calls which can have the effect of lowering the gold price. Looking at my earlier post of the daily US$ value of gold over the years its show pretty stable values over many many years however i believe misleading when its being quote in $US has the US dollar (and %AU) has lost quite a lot values in real terms
now is probably not the time to buy, $17 + even though it might yet sky rocket, no doubt there will be lot buying gold this coming week to get out of the share market and hold it through the silly reason. What happens towards end January might offer some insight i think
oh i thought you were trading in yuan, dongs or rupees never thought of inflation, but yeah, equally so the actual price of gold represents something quite a bit lower than $17 + my figuring last time i raised the subject but was bit out, on the same bases actual value having regards to %30 drop in US dollar mee thinks still puts todays value around the $1200 mark
Hunt Brothers $50 Silver Truth, How They Capped Gold…Yes, GOLD!
When Silver Sneezed, Gold Caught the Cold
On January 7, 1980, the other major U.S. exchange, COMEX, changed its rules also. Investors were limited to 10 million ounces in futures contracts, and any amount above that had to be liquidated by Friday, February 18.6 On the very next trading day, Monday, January 21, as silver reached a record high of $50 an ounce, the Hunt silver hoard peaked at a mind-boggling $4.5 billion, (that’s $43.5 billion in Shadowstats CPI-adjusted 2011 dolars!)5
On the same day that silver hit $50 and silver futures topped out at $52.50, gold’s price set a new record of $850 and gold futures peaked at $892. COMEX, terrified that it would be forced into default, announced—with the backing of the CFTC—that trading in silver would be limited to liquidation orders only, eliminating any buyers.
Well i watched gold prices at the time Regan demanded the world accept his new world order in 1984, consumer demand to regulate prices etc. My take those event in relation to the gold price is; Hunt brothers pushed gold and silver prices up in case gold to US$850 then bailed out of the market. Silver went to US$37 and gold to US$950 (or there about's).
Then America opened the doors of Fort Knocks and dumped all of Americas physical gold holdings onto the market, and the price of gold tumbled back down to US$150 an ounce. (or something close to that) Silver tumbled down to around US$5
my yacht had a raised deck, out there on your own if went overboard lifeline or not, you wouldn't get back on board, no climbing over the transom either. Mostly i was rock-hooping, to put up or down sails i just let go the tiller and "Gently" lay-to. Sounds to me Aky had good merit, after six hours a really lucky chappy... frightening experience. Cyclone season here isn't a good time to sail out yonder any distant away from a safe harbor, and there are not many of those on the Qld coast. Nor NSW for that matter.
oh then we differ, never tethered myself other than in strong winds and when needed to go beyond the mast as had all sheets including trailer sailor roller reefing leading to the cockpit, had no safety rails either, and no radio, no self steering other than failed attempts to rig sheets to the tiller, i hand steered the whole way. Though i did get the use of a guys workshop on Magnetic Island, and constructed a flop board however that only worked in more than 30 knots. Few days after making it reached Port Douglas and sold Gently to a guy with no money...
yeah i reckon is why watch her progress, good on her.
I can remember while pissing off the stern i could easily fall overboard and nobody would know, then thought oh well i would die but so be it. Happy doing doing what i was doing so, but there after pissed through the outboard hole inside the cockpit hehe ...is good learning curve, it sounds like you probably watched a few seals...
6-12-2011 I have found the time to write a new blog so ... After being told at least one hundred times that I really had to go up Table Mountain, early yesterday morning I went over with friends. We didn't ride up with the cable car but hiked, taking the steepest trail going to the top. I thought it would be as flat as a table top over there, a plateau... It's not. So we kept on climbing and climbing until the trail slided gently up and down a little giving us really beautiful and extraordinary views along the way. Since we started our trek at 5 am, it was still early morning when we reached the top and there was no one but us. I was glad to have comed up this way enjoying the fresh air and nice temperature before the herd of tourists came stepping out of the cable car an hour later. And so before that happened I had enough time to take in the view of Cape Town below as the clouds flew in wonderful curls and twists above us at the top of Table Mountain. Back from the trek I went shopping again - I am now pretty sure that I have all the food provisions I need for awhile. Guppy will be lifted out of the water for an overall check today.Some little problems have to be looked at, some I had already identified in Darwin.
Under other: Mangosteen two- to three-inch tropical fruit with juicy flesh suggestive of both peaches and pineapples, Thailand, Malysia, Vietnam, grown in northern Australia to.
another favourit of mine is Longan, is same family as Lychee, however it is usually dried like a rasin.
Makes me wonder if there is any commonsense anywhere, look at today's news item explaining new power to investigate all MPs and their staff, judges, police, public prosecutors, the auditor-general, the Victorian governor and private contractors performing public functions...
INVESTIGATORS working for Victoria's new anti-corruption body will be able to carry semi-automatic guns and wear body armour.
The Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC), expected to be in operation by the middle of next year, will have the power to investigate all MPs and their staff, judges, police, public prosecutors, the auditor-general, the Victorian governor and private contractors performing public functions.
It will be able to hold public hearings and investigators will have the power to carry guns and other defensive equipment, enter premises and seize documents, bug telephones and bring sniffer dogs into government offices to gather evidence.
well if you take your mind back a year or so to posts both Mal and i made on the same subject and more recent events, including housing problems in the US and derivitives, world government debit including EU, China's continued loss of listen its hard to see anything other than kayos.
Bear in mind ministers of most government tend to try and pretend all's well, spend, spent etc, and in all likelihood will still be shouting the same message as the ship disappears beneath the waves..
Can't speak for Aky, but agree with what i perceive as his view, hold out from buying remaining liquid in hopefully a safe bank. If worst occurs what goes up, must also comes equally down, then he would be cashed up. I think he is saying he would be in a better position to buy outright without borrowing, think that is what Aky has in mind, you might ask him. If you can't buy without borrowing sit it out rather than risk loosing everything. Look at the USA housing problems, though probably things here could be different it might give you some idea what can happen In the last depression people lost whole farms because they couldn't come up with 10/-
have you checked out Skype? Its call rates to land-line any where appear pretty cheap, recently read Microsoft have brought Skype so don't know what that will mean.
Kizzy long as you have a mortgage you actually don't own the property, likewise as mentioned in my most recent post, the Chinese are holding nothing more than a promise. The Russian Tsar (i think it was) issued bonds however a wide spread international conflict happened along, so the Russians were able to put of repaying Bonds they had issued for over a hundred years, international law allows that.
If the properties value exceeds what you paid have you thought of offering your property for sale?
How come you sell the rights for Carlton chains, i presume the we you wrote means you did?
Your having alone of your self US$1.00 = Yuan$6.33 The Foreign exchange reserves of the People's Republic of China are mainly composed of US dollar in the forms of US government bonds and institutional bonds, note the mainly composed of US dollar in the forms of US government bonds and institutional bonds
Sellers mark up lets cut in half what that would usualy be and say %50 = 64.50 Australia Post lets say $20
Shipping from China to Australia lets say $10
$64.50 $20.00 $10.00
$94.50 at the very least that leaves $34.50, the saw has an American Bar and Chain, you couldn't buy those and make a profit, I disagree and choose to believe, they giving goods away to breack captilism
Keith McDonald Fairweather put out two or three books on mining, transport and so forth for Omeo, Glen Wills and the Tambo region which includes lots of research from news archives.
