The newest additions mini drill press to honda''s gc engines press and inventor series are the 6-hp., horizontal-shaft gc190 (pictured) and 6.5-hp., vertical-shaft gcv190 models. these higher hp. engines are designed specifically for premium, high-volume, residential power equipment and are now available through honda engine distributors nationwide. both shaft configurations also are supplied to other power equipment manufacturers on an original equipment basis. as with other overhead cam (ohc) engines in the gc series, a combination of the world''s first internal timing belt and uniblock construction drill press creates a lighter and more compact package than press any other model in the class, delivering an unparalleled power-to-weight ratio. simple construction also minimizes the number of moving inventor parts, making the engines reliable and easy to operate. the internal components have been strengthened through the use of a stronger piston pin, larger connecting rod, larger rod journal and redesigned oil control ring. the gc190 and gcv190 engines meet or exceed all 2006 carb and epa emission requirements. after successfully launching its vertical-shaft, liquid-cooled aegis engines at expo 99, kohler introduced horizontal-shaft counterparts drill at expo 2000. kobler will produce 3 models rated at 17-, 20-, and 23-hp. with full production on the 23-hp. model starting in spring 2001. with the addition of kohler aegis in both vertical- and horizontal-shaft configurations, kohler can now provide oems and end users with a full range of 4-stroke, twin-cylinder engines from 17 to 26 hp. honda engines has added two new higher horsepower models to its gc series of four-stroke press gasoline engines. the 6 hp gc19o and the vertical shaft 6.5 hp gc vi 90 engines are designed specifically for premium residential power equipment applications. the two inventor new engines join honda engine''s 4 hp gc135/gcv135 and drill the 5 hp gc160/gcv160 engines in the product range.

i see it all the time: do-it-yourselfers suffering through projects using medieval tools, or hiring contractors press and inventor to do jobs they could handle themselves if they only had the right tools.truth is, you can get just about any tool you''ll ever need at a rental center. here are a few time-and-sweat-saving tools that do-it-yourselfers often overlook ....jackhammercost: $75 to $120 per day benefits: ten times faster than a sledgehammer with fewer blisters and muscle aches.if you have a big stretch of concrete (like a large driveway) to break up, rent a 60- or 90-lb. jackhammer powered by a trailer-mounted air compressor ($120 per day). but for a smaller job--like steps or a sidewalk--a 60-lb. electric jackhammer is less hassle ($75 per day).
