Those are invaluable little tools for so many things. I had to cut a hardened metal lock hasp once and my Dremel-like tool plugged into a portable inverter cut it like butter.
***************************** For those who don't subscribe to General Aviation News https://tinyurl.com/v698ztp an interesting article announces that Mexico will accept our UAT 978 ADS-B transmitters. They were scheduled, as is the rest of the countries on the planet, to adopt the 1090 ES standard which is good in the U.S. as well, but to get weather here in the U.S. most are going for the 978 UAT transmitters and receivers. Since so many U.S. aircraft regularly go to Mexico, looks like they're making it easy to continue to do so. Mexico doesn't really give a hoot about ADS-B anyway except for flights over 18K, and probably not even then, especially if you speak Spanish. Down at the bottom of the page linked above is a picture of a "TailbeaconX" uAvionix will be making the same thing for wingtips too. It's an all-in-one ADS-B transmitter and receiver, including its own S band transponder. It's $2500 and will be a good solution for some, especially for those flying outside the U.S. It transmits on 1090 ES and doesn't transmit on 978 UAT. I don't know if receives 978 UAT and can pick up weather. Unlike their regular "Talibeacon", you can't control this one with a transponder . . . since the thing already has a transponder. To control it requires a choice between a 2 inch or a 3 inch control head, both with EFIS functions. The little one isn't expensive. They both provide an artificial horizon. So this is an interesting option for some people. This TailbeaconX also interfaces with some models of already installed EFIS panels and can be controlled via their controls.
