Kraton MIP TOOLS REPAIR

[Jluther@becoinc]

I have a few older MIP tools that have lost some of the sharpness at the corners. How or what do you guys use to cut them back to original sharpness?

I wouldn’t because they will loose tightness therefore stripping screws

Time for a new set. I do alot of wrenching and swap them out yearly.

I take mine to the diamond wheel @ work...
A rounded tool = rounded hardware!!! Mike

grind them down a bit don't seem to last as long though

I have used a grinder before on cheap tools and got them to work better for a while. I haven’t tried with MIP. If a $3 tool breaks it don’t matter. I hate to ruin good ones. Trying is better than tossing so I’ll let Y’all know what happens

Use the finest wheel you can find... and keep the heat down while grinding. Grind a little at a time and dip in oil or water to cool... Mike
