Now I can buy many tools that I'd like to have for occasional use and don't want to pay $dewalt for. This worked fine for me until last fall when I needed two Ryobi tools (floodlight + 16g finishing nailer) at the same time and only have one Makita battery adapter. The floodlight has a 120v plug but cords are really annoying now especially when you're up 2 stories. The Ryobi tools really grow on you.

Oh it's windy out.. better toss get this nice rear end bright light and stick next to bed.. fucka flashlight. Also the fans. other day I was doing some interior work on a car when it was 80°f out, I was hot, I grabbed the big fan and let it run. My small fan gets lots of use too, poo poo I even used it to cool perogies for bagging/freezing so we could get a higher throughput boiling them.

It worked great for me and then there was a Ryobi multi tool pack combi with batteries that I ended up getting and now I just have the adapter and like 8 DeWalt batteries and 2 Ryobi 18v ones. Problem solved?

Is there a burr bit grinder attachment you can use on angle grinders? I have a steel gate where I need to expand the hole a bit and I don’t wanna buy a die/rotary grinder to use one time. Using a rotary bit in a drill would be an option but I know axial loads aren’t real good for the drill bearings and so I would prefer to avoid it

I have no use for a framing nailer, but it looks like Ryobi has an 18v framing nailer now, which makes me want to find an excuse to buy a framing nailer.

I have a tool question, I need some kinda spreader tool, I've been working on this pump (older photo from disassembly) and I've started reassembling it. Dealing with some really strong springs here and I need some kinda tool to spread them apart so I can reinstall it. Without it reassembly is gonna be impossible, disassembly was nearly impossible and that was way easier. I'm thinking maybe some kind of scissor mechanism. Would be nice if there was something out there so I don't have to make my own tool.

I wonder if something like this would be strong / large enough? This one is for vacuum lines so it's too small. Maybe there is a larger version. https://www.amazon.com/Automobile-R...s%2C189&sr=8-15

wesleywillis posted:Snap ring pliers? It is 100" this. Snap ring pliers. They make a few different kinds. There are some straight, some curved, some long nose, some thicker and thinner for different size rings. I think I bought a pair on amazon that had interchangeable tips for that very reason. Oh wait, I just saw the snap ring on top and assumed thats what you're talking about. Maybe not if you're talking about the springs deep inside.

I'm not sure which pieces you are trying to spread and what the scale is, but a clamp with the heads turned around may reach, and I've had luck with just a right sized screw and long coupler nut to spread small poo poo before.

I think I bought a pair on amazon that had interchangeable tips for that very reason. Yeah it's the springs deep inside, I marked out the areas with red. I started making my own tool last night, I think I can cobble together some from what I have lying around. I was able to spread them apart using my hands like that but I will make it working using a threaded rod mechanism instead.

I threw this together, one was enough to get the shaft by. I will need to make another to expand both sides so I can drop in the cam. But it seems to work. Just rant out of M10 nuts.

Arsenic Lupin posted:No gin or lime juice, 0/10. Why do you think I broke the screw to begin with?  Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Wax your screw if you don't already. That makes a huuuuge difference in not breaking screws. I didn't the first time although given how flimsy the screws were I'm not sure it would've made a big difference. I'm now strictly following a pilot hole + gimlet + wax process because I don't trust any of them to work on their own. Also, I should just buy higher-quality hardware. Speaking of buying high-quality hardware, someone please get this so I don't have to:

Anyone ever put 1” of water in the tub of their shop vac? In theory it’s supposed to catch fine dust particles and extend the life of your filter but I’m worried that water + fine dust will cement itself to the bottom of my shop vac

Got my GLL 3-80 laser and now I filled in the info on bosch-professional.com and applied for a free LR 7 receiver. Got lucky there I didn't even know about that deal and it was only if you ordered inside April you could apply. Also not sure it applies outside europe. Just a red laser but I don't see the need for paying extra for the green.

Since I had already made one, it was easy to make another of the expansion tools. So I think this must be a first for me, it worked like I had planned.   So now all plungers are back in place. This is the part of the reassembly I figured was going to be the hardest and it's behind me. Of course only when everything is back together will I know if I wasted a bunch of time, money and effort trying to fix a 1970s pressure washer

https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/search?query= DTO is having a 40% off factory blemished sale on most things for Cinco de Mayo and 50% off reconditioned stuff. As usual: 1.) You want to buy Factory Blemished if you want that warranty, either for Ryobi's 3 year 18V/5 year 40V or Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement warranty. 2.) Shipping is flat rate $15 per order 3.) "40% off" is kind of nebulous in that it's 40% off whatever the price was before the sale. Some things are marked down real low then, while other things are merely 40% off MSRP. This means there may be a good price on something you want to be had, but also know how much your item you want goes for (or whatever you think is a good price). 4.) You're generally lucky if you have a physical DTO store in your area. I really want a DTO price tracker like camelcamelcamel does for Amazon for reason 3. There's a slickdeals thread on the sale so people there might have more to say on what a good deal is: https://slickdeals.net/f/16630322-c...ct-tools-outlet BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 06:28 on May 6, 2023 |

If having a bit of water in there improves the filtration of the shop vac, making the air in your workspace cleaner, I'd say absolutely go for it, I'm just skeptical about it being good for your filters.

And I don't mean with like, gallons and gallons of water in there, I mean like vacuuming up wet drywall debris from small puddles and the like. They do make special water compatible filters but I just take mine out. The intended use case for the water was when I’m at work and vacuuming up a bunch of fine dust like from drywall sanding, I do have a dust collector but it’s a bit unwieldy to use when moving around. Thinking about it though, putting water in the tub would splash around when I tried to move it and probably end up getting on the filter and ruin it anyways. I’ll just keep taking the filter out and manually knocking the dust off every so often . Sarah Cenia posted:Is an air hammer a thing worth getting to have around? I don’t have an air hammer , just the electric demo hammer but I will say that a spade bit makes quick and easy work of digging hardened soil/clay/whatever. Even a 4” chisel bit will do pretty good, something like this:

If you're doing something with really fine dust and don't have a dust separator, imagine the panty hose trick would work to keep it from getting instantly clogged. Way more ideal to me than dealing with water and a paper filter which don't mix. But I've just got a basic bucket separator and that thing works like a charm, good to have in general. Might still need to use panty hose if doing something like drywall sanding as mentioned though, probably just comes down to how fine of a dust.
