Porter Cable Narrow Crown Stapler
Item #NS150B;
portercable.com; $109.99 at most locations “A pneumatic crown stapler
is what we use to construct our enclosures. Although this is a newer model, it is basically the same as the previous model by Porter Cable. This is one of our most-used air tools in the wood shop. Porter Cable has
been in my tool box for a long time. They make quality tools that last and can be serviced at a number of authorized outlets.”
M.Power Profile Scriber
Item: Perfect Butt;
m-powertools.com; $26.49 at most locations “This is a very unique tool used for making wood templates. It comes with four different sizes of ‘bearings’ that allow you to follow something like a side panel of a car and transfer that shape to your piece of wood. The pencil in the middle is spring loaded and can be removed to replace or sharpen.”
Wixey Digital Angle Gauge
Item #WR300;
wixey.com; $39.99 at most locations “This tool is a must when using a
table saw to cut angles. I also use it a lot when finding the angle of a back seat when building enclosures. The best part is that it has magnets on it, so it sticks right to the table saw blade so you can dial in the exact degree you want to cut. This especially comes in handy when you use CAD like I do. I purchased this from Mobile Solutions in Arizona.”
Self-Centering Bit Set
Table Saw Push Block and Stick Set
Item # TS-420-2920, mobilesolutions-
usa.com; $27.99 “These tools are a
must if you’re worried about safety. I bought these from Mobile Solutions as well. The set includes all the push sticks you need to be safe using the table saw.”
Item # CC2430; bosch. com; $20-$25 at most locations “This set of pre-drill bits are great for pre-drilling holes when mounting speakers or subwoofers. The outside stays sta- tionary while the drill bit inside spins and is spring-loaded. It is cen- tered because the outside centers it on the hole of the speaker.”
Big Horn Taper Drill and Countersink Set
Item #13200;
bighorncorp.com; $23-$27 at most locations “These drill bits are unique because they are tapered and have a countersink bit built onto them. The taper really helps when inserting the screws; the deeper they go, the tighter they are. It’s a 7-piece kit that allows you to predrill almost anything you need to in car audio.”
