Are the pins strog enough to penetrate hard woods?

Yes they are very strong. I've tried it on red, white oak and cherry. I am very satisfied with this meter.

I have both this one and the one Harbor Freight sells for half the price. I bought the HF one when the shipping on the 'German' one was going to be a month. They are identical, except for color and the sticker. They work ok, if you just want a ball park. If you are doing high end work with expensive wood that is vastly more expensive than these, and you are really concerned about wood movement over time, invest in something better.

Yes. The pins are decent but the body is a bit fragile for a Stihl product. Best if used on end grains whenever possible. I only need to get 'close' on the moisture so if you're a furniture maker you might need a little better technology. This one works for me while milling logs. Dave

they only penetrate about 1/8 inch ... not enought to realy get a good reading.

Yes , The pins are strong enough. They do not need to penetrate very far to get an accurate reading. Keep in mind to get the best reading , freshly split the wood an then test.

i have used the meter on maple, ash and oak. so far it has worked well for me, I also place into many places on the wood or boards. I don't think you have to push the prongs in all the way, an 1/8 to 1/4 in is all I have put them in.

Sheer pins shouldn't be a problem. When a sheer pin breaks the auger stops.

No, but it is easy to knock out the pins. Drill a small hole in a piece of wood, position the one side of the pin into the hole and tap the pin out with a slight tap with a hammer. The length of the blades for this Dewalt is 5 1/4 inch. Some pinned blades are this length but if you have some of the 6 1/2 ones they could be cut down to length.

Yes, but I would not expect these to perform as well as the much higher priced high speed bits made for commercial applications. Even with the best bits available you may need to replace the bit (maybe more than once) to get a hole through even 1/8 inch steel, especially if you try to go fast or don't use cutting fluid. I assume you know to drill a pilot hole before drilling a large diameter hole.

i would be hesitant to slam any folder into a board. the inserts are very grippy, i have not had them lose traction ever. but i would also probably use a hatchet or an axe to do any kind of "slamming into a board" work, since that is what those tools are designed to do while not endangering your digits.

I haven't had any issues, but I use soft wood targets like pine slabs (trunk sections) Harder woods and indirect hits will eventually cause breakage. These are good but not top of the line knives, they are not indestructible.

The threads are the same as all broadheads/field points. They will also work on carbon or aluminum arrows. I shot small diameter Easton Bloodlines last fall and they worked well.

Yes. They're slotted and ready to use right out of the package. Standard Taylor pins.

I've spun the rapid load end off of many of these using them in an impact while drilling through hard wood(Ipe). Still good bits.

I've used them (standard, old fashioned wood clothes pins) on light to/ medium weight items. Bath towels & heavy sweaters, not so good.

Hi, Angela. Yes, I've drilled into dense wood and hard plastic. The bits are straight and sharp. Let the bit do the work; simply apply light pressure and steadily turn between your thumb and finger. You might want to start with a tiny pilot hole and follow with a larger bit, to prevent any chipping. Another trick: place a small strip of masking tape on both sides of the area to be drilled, first. This , also, often ensures a smooth bore. Good luck! PS. A Dremel Tool is great for drilling small holes, too.

Yes. I've used my set on particle board and don't see any reason it wouldn't work on hard wood as well.

I don't think you'd have a problem. Basswood is fairly soft. I've drilled through pine and particle board without problems. It's a pretty decent little drill and I've been happy with it, it's done everything I've needed it for. Be sure the batteries are fresh.

I'm not totally sure that I understand your question, but if I you are talking about there already being holes in the bottom tips of your chair legs, then you don't need to be thinking about buying these at all. These tips are meant to be hammered (I used a hard rubber mallet) into the chair leg tips. You need to be seeing nothing but wood on the bottom of those tips, that is, before installing these pins.

I dont recomend it. this are good bits but they get stuck when you use it in woods
1077117
No, because it needs to be upright and not flat against the pin. Best to use the mounts and drill it.

I think you could,although I haven't used mine for that application . I've shot at some boards from about 10 yds and the BB was embedded in the wood.
