Weight and dimensions of the orbital sander For the most part, they have a weight of 1.0 to 2.5 kg, which is quite acceptable for a sufficiently long work. There are, of course, for “finished” professionals (I write with great respect) and mini orbital grinding machines, with which you can even cut caries on a tooth, you could see them in various Western car repair videos, but this is not our topic, although Possession of such devices will add respect to your customers uniquely. Used abrasive consumables...

For those who have not yet used it - the principle of orbital grinding is not only the simple rotation of the working sole around its axis, but also the displacement of its orbit by 2-6 mm achieved by an ellipsoid eccentric. Than and the magnificent effect of abrasive grinding is reached. Orbital grinding machines, like many other garage tools, come in a version with an electric motor or air driven by a compressor. Usually, for routine garage work, mechanics use orbital machines with electric drive,...

Here we go - previous part of my wish-list with tires you can find on my channel page. And right now we are going to continue searching and analyzing best summer tires for cars! Continental. Screw Continental! Plastic rubber. For the price of both Michelin and Dunlop, as well as not lying around on any basis. Recently, the quality that they are trying to compensate for by buying tests in “reputable automotive publications” has plummeted. It goes with a screw before it wears out to the end. It is balancing very badly (of course, compared to domestic rubber, everything is perfectly balanced ...

Yes, and those who have a summer at the end, also does not interfere with the familiar. Choose your summer tires, without any deception by the cunning sellers. A lot of traded rubber, so take my word for it. What you need to know, and no seller about it, will not tell you. What is written on the sides of the rubber wheels and what these inscriptions mean: 1...

Now, as to the price and cost. Before you set the price, carefully review the competitors. And not just the year of issue-price, but carefully read the description that each seller in your niche gives in the ad. Cars of the same model can have different configurations, motors, boxes. Someone worked in the car in a taxi mode, and someone only went to the country three times a year. And only after a detailed analysis, decide for yourself how much you can REALLY sell your car. And do not forget that you probably have to throw off the buyer some amount as a result of bargaining...

Pre-sale preparation; 2. Promotion; 3. Shows and demonstration of the car to potential buyers; 4. Registration of sale (Hurray! Buy!). Pre-sale preparation. If you think presale preparation is all nonsense, then this is a deeply erroneous opinion. Based on my personal experience (several years of work at a car dealership,...

Pioneer of French engineering. Panhard et Levassor was the first French car manufacturer.

Their automaker career began in 1889 - from the moment they acquired a two-cylinder motor license from Gottlieb Daimler. Two years after that, two crews who used this engine were presented to the general public.

When a dialogue about cars and automobile starts, everyone remembers Germany, Japan, America. However, according to statistical studies, France ranks third in car production in Europe (in 2018). French cars are popular all over the world for their stylish design, variety and good price-quality ratio. And the history of the French automotive industry goes back to the 18th century.

Automatic transmissions are rapidly replacing mechanical gear shifting devices (manual transmissions). Almost all new car models come with an automatic transmission. It is important to know how to check the oil level in the automatic transmission. The mechanism is picky about the quality of the lubricant. Friction between the working elements of the automatic transmission is present. The lack of oil in the machine leads to overheating and reduced operating life. If the engine oil level is better to check in a cold state, then with an automatic transmission the situation is reversed...
