I had a Ryobi inflator where one of the buttons didn't work. I called up Ryobi and explained the issue and they said "ok cool, where should we ship a replacement to? Just drop the broken one off at a Home Depot or whatever to recycle it. Have a great day." I think they asked for the serial number, but that was it. No receipt or anything. Super easy

Can I cut through 4" concrete slab with a 9 inch grinder equipped w diamond blade? E: more specifically, can I use it for light duty stuff, like cutting basement slab open for 16"x16" footing. ~$200 for something that can substitute for a concrete saw is a pretty good deal BIG-DICK-BUTT-FUCK fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Sep 2, 2022 |

I think the tool itself will limit your depth to less than 4" and deliberately burying a 9" grinder blade all the way to the hilt in a slit sounds like a recipe for disaster. Those things are like wild animals on a good day.

Those things are like wild animals on a good day. ya and there's no way to do it with a guard either. The danger doesn't dissuade me so much as the possibility that it wouldnt give sufficient depth of cut, i dont wanna drop $250 for grinder + blade (or ~$90 if i go to Harbor Freight) for something that doesnt work for intended purpose I've been using a diamond blade in a small bosch grinder to make relief cuts in a sidewalk i'm breaking & removing, and that thing just zips right through it the concrete, leading me to wonder about larger blades/grinders Soul Dentist posted:Tool Thread: Burying 9 Inches of Grindr Blade to the Hilt Like a Wild Animal  i enjoyed their phrasing too

9" grinder without a guard is the "playing stupid games with your fingers and a table saw" of metalworking. I've met a bunch of dudes with scars and missing pieces from doing specifically that, the Navy guys just can't resist doing it.

I'd try and find someone who does concrete and see if they're interested in a little side work. I have a halogen work light on a tripod, is there anyway to convert it to LED without spending real money? I was thinking I could hack apart some of those $15 5-6000lm garage lights and it wouldn't throw out so drat much heat.

Price out cheap LED floods first you might find something you can just bolt onto the tripod stand.

I have always scored and cut concrete with a circular saw when I didn't want to go rent the big boy. Why the f would you use a grinder? Seems like you're just inviting danger. Edit: nm it's op

Lol as a jeweler there is an entire world of tools that only make a difference under a microscope. Just imagining somebody using rubber wheels and felt points to glacially erode concrete is hilarious at this point (I'm broken)

Speaking of using the wrong tool, I am adding a fireplace hearth and needed to cut out the floor tile it would be sitting on so it sits on the subfloor. So I cut my border with an angle grinder and diamond saw wheel, and then smash out the tiles with hammer and chisel for the next ~hour. 95% of the way through, I remembered that I have a borrowed SDS max rotary hammer with floor demo chisel. Could have saved me a lot of time

Storage question. I keep losing my nut driver bits because literally no tool set comes with its own box or holder: Any creative solutions for keeping all these bits in one place? I've been looking at magnetic trays but they are all designed for 12+ pieces Might use a coin purse. I just hate having them lying around loose in my tool chest. Also why the poo poo does every DeWalt "bit set" only come with one or two nut driver sizes and never the complete set.

To make you buy the sets. Buy a crap nut driver set and steal the little rubber holder from it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/ABN-SAE-Nut-Driver-Set-Magnetic-Nut-Driver-Bit-Set-Nut-Driver-Set-5pc-1-4-1-2/213705239

any thoughts on the lenox all-in-one screwdrivers? I think I want to just get the 6-1 version. I have no idea what the #2 and #3 square pieces are even used for. The other ones that aren't philips or flat look to be hex wrenches? https://www.lenoxtools.com/pages/screwdrivers.aspx also does anyone sell a hammer that has a rubber cap on it to make it a mallet? I have an old one from ikea but the rubber is finally falling apart.

The 9-1 instead of just having one shaft and two double side bits has two shafts and three double sided bits. The longer shaft has a larger and smaller hex drivers the small shaft is 1/4" on both ends for the two smaller double sided bits.

You can just buy 100% rubber mallets for like $5 at most hardware stores, I have a couple and they're by far my most used hammering device, not the best at anything but with the exception of hitting actual nails good at most hammering tasks.

Cyrano4747 posted:Bought the Ryobi. I'm not a tool person but is Ryobi's QC known to be insanely trash-tier? I bought their base drill + battery combo recently to do extremely occasional house stuff and the charger only worked intermittently right out of the box. At the same time I got their cheapest little cordless lawnmower to do our tiny patch of grass and the second time I used it the battery just completely died and stopped even showing state of charge lights. The place I got it from just gave me a new battery, but I didn't expect to have so many crib-death issues, you'd expect them to crap out a day after the warranty ends at least.
