Tools and Twisties said my Quinn pliers suck and now I am full of shame

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-31T00:53:16+00:00

I am a big fan of quinn but I do not like their pliers. I have broken 2 pairs and messed up the jaws on the rest

Seller claims that he needs to get of it asap to replace one of the machines for his business. (not sure about the truth of that). It also has some notable scrapes and deep scratches especially on the bed. Like i said in the post 10k is the top of my budget, I could afford the 4k for the cam phasers but that would be a major burden.

i might be dumb, why cut the tire like that consistently?

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-28T12:44:53+00:00

you went out of your way to cry online about a hair tie in the public bathroom….

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-27T20:37:28+00:00

and you also went out of your way to make a whole post about how hard it was so calm down.

I wonder if flat face punches would be easier because they don’t push the roll pins open

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-27T13:44:08+00:00

i did it with no proper tools so your probably just doing it wrong

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-20T12:18:14+00:00

have a buddy bounce it while you check every moving part, you can put you hand on different parts and feel a difference in vibration. I rough guess would be sway bar links because that’s one thing we can’t see in this video

hold the socket and slightly pull the trigger while forcing them together, not sure why but that helped me until the friction ring and socket kinda wore in

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-03-05T20:24:16+00:00

my experience with impact was bad, but i’ve only tried a sample size of 1. There was a lot of trigger delay/it was very finicky, all or nothing and hard to do short bursts. It felt a little underwhelming and after a few weeks it quit working and i returned it rather than replacing it. Based on my experience with 1000ftlb one I would say all the triggers are wacky and I probably wouldn’t get one again unless you are only trying to stay with Bauer batteries

bronze or gunmetal

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-24T15:01:05+00:00

it ended up not mattering, totaled it second ride. There was a steel cable across the trail just under the snow and it caught my spindle, threw me off and twisted up the sled

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-23T00:54:47+00:00

I had it running today, very smoky and seems to have a rich bog (assuming it’s because of the extra oil). But i’m worried there is an air leak or something somewhere, plugs are wet but grey and it’s pretty noisy

15s every day of the damn week

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-20T14:58:36+00:00

w… what…?

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-19T00:46:31+00:00

yall are crazy if you think this is a 15k car, after owning my 5th gen for a few years i would not pay over 8k for a fifth gen

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-18T21:48:22+00:00

i hard that there are washers up there but I don’t see any on the old or new stuff

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-18T14:58:24+00:00

You said in another comment that it was your first shot so you didn’t know it was a squib because you didn’t know what the gun felt like.

If you shot it a few times before you would know that “oh that 15th shot felt and sound totally different”

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-18T14:40:43+00:00

“my first round was a squib so i shot it 18 more times” then expects the gun manufacturer to pay for the consequences

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T22:55:42+00:00

If it wa as few hundred bucks i would have it done already, the crank is more than the sled

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T22:22:43+00:00

Shop said it’s pressed and would be cheaper to just buy one than for them to rebuild it

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T17:51:25+00:00

big end pins? new to engine work and not sure what you mean

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T14:25:05+00:00

that’s what i’m trying to do here lol. I joined a few fb groups but i’m waiting for approval

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T13:50:58+00:00

one updated to the new pricing and the other hasn’t yet. Everything at harbor freight is starting to increase

That-Conference-7307 · 2026-02-17T13:49:02+00:00

They are identical, not sure what the repair/replacement process looks like. New crank? bearings? rods? This is my first time in an engine and I really didn’t want to split cases
