Maybole Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I am and occasional DIYer. To that end I do not want to splash out on new tools. I am looking for a secondhand Tool Shop in the Chiang mai area preferably south end towards Hang Dong and Sanpatong. I am specifically looking at the moment for a bradawl(which appears to be totally unknown locally) and a chuck key. Any member with a local knowledge?

fangless Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Some of the universities have "walk-in/rental workshops" that lend out equipment if you are registered with them (just for the workshop, not for education!). My friend used to use one one but I do not know the name of his. Edited October 6, 2021 by fangless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) A Bradawl is used locally. Some years back I had a slow puncture on my M/cycle. I was refueling when I noticed and the young lad pointed out another guy and indicated that I take my bike over. The new guy took a Bradawl inserted an length of cord, pushed it into the slow puncture then withdrew until the cord was stuck inside and out. This sealed the puncture. I slowly road my bike to my friends m/cycle garage showed the ‘repair’ which they accepted as normal and I used my bike until they got me a new tyre.

Nana screw has chuck keys - new Many thanks, I made into town this afternoon and visited them. I showed my drill (it is an obscure make and I have been having difficulty finding a chuck key to fit), the assistant took one look at it and went straight to a box on a shelf and immediately produced one which was an exact fit. Now, I have no excuse for not doing all the wee jobs that "Madamme La Patronne" has been nagging about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
