That's a legit hammer drill. It takes SDS+ drills. Chuck Type: Accepts SDS-PLUS Are you running it on hammer mode, combined, or drill mode? You should be running in combo mode, and using an SDS+ drill, not a regular twist drill. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Mar 15, 2020 |

I. M. Gei posted:This is the model I rented. Agreed with the above - you rented the right thing. It's hard to tell with your pics....but it looks like more brick? And no sign of any work being done on it so maybe what you were trying to drill isn't in the pic? Does is have some "give" when you put in on it? Might just need a different bit to get through a different material as was suggested.

sharkytm posted:You using an SDS drill? Might be. The Fix It Fast thread seems to think there’s super dense concrete back there with only about 1” of actual brick. Whatever drill I buy, I think it’d be best for it to take SDS-Plus bits. The guy at Home Depot told me my rental takes SDS-Max bits, but SDS-Plus bits are the only kind my store carries, and I’d prefer not to have to order something online because time is a factor.

The pictures look like cement or stone, but an SDS+ in combo mode would drill through that. Where's your house? Basement walls are concrete, right? Test drill a shallow hole there to see if it feels the same? I'm kinda stumped?

All I know is that in combo mode the drill just bounces off of it like a girl loving a floor dildo (I literally couldn’t come up with a better description of it than this, I am tired as hell). My house is in Texas. It’s one floor and it sits on a slope. We don’t have a basement. Someone I talked to at Home Depot thinks the problem was with the bit I rented. They recommended this drill, plus a new bit.

I swear to God that Ryobi has the same scam going on with batteries that HP does with inkjet cartridges. Got two in a pack at Christmas to replace two previous ones that had died and the charger swears one's already defective. Never again.

Weird. I've never had a single issue with any Ryobi stuff, especially the batteries. I've got a few 18v lithium batteries from 6 years ago that still work great without any noticable lack in performance. I think I have a half dozen batteries and they all work great.

My oldest battery, a lovely 1.3ah one, occasionally acts flaky and the charger acts like it's bad but every time I put it on the torch, use it until it dies a painful death and it just happily charges up again. 2013 I think?

I got a link belt for my band saw, and it seems to be kicking rear end-- but the tails on the links aren't riding neatly in the pulley grooves like I think they're supposed to, the whole belt just kind of cocks off to one side so like... the corner of the tail seats into the groove. What am I doing wrong here? E: oh of course I bought an A belt and not a 3L, what a fool am I Sockser fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Mar 17, 2020 |

I fastened down deck planks once on a 100 degree day, with a big rear end patio umbrella so I didn't die. Well, the manual for the charger said it won't charge batteries if they're over 96 degrees. So I put them in the freezer for 5 minutes then charged them inside the house.

Nope, not hot at all. Sitting on the shelf for months, stuck them on the charger to fill up before a job. Four batteries. Two older, two about 4 months old. Two chargers. Old batteries are reported as defective by both chargers. One of the new batteries works on charger A, but not charger B. The other works on B, but not A. Yeesh.

Using this to the underside of my 4runner would probably cause it to implode. The rust is structural at this point.

Funny, I too was considering a pressure washer, mostly for cleaning my dirt bike. They are one of those things that I feel like most people but thinking they'll use them more than they do and they wind up sitting in a garage. Thought about buying used but scared of what I'll get.

For stuff like cleaning a dirt bike I’d recommend the sub $100 electric Ryobi. I’ve used mine mainly for cleaning off my patio and it works great for that. You probably aren’t stripping a deck with it but it’s nice to not have to deal with gas and it’s extremely compact.

I. M. Gei posted:This drill loving BROKE lol You probably want almost any rotary hammer drill. The rotary prefix tends to mean they can hammer or drill and are more suited to the task of going through anything. I installed two TV wall mounts into a building. Upstairs my regular hammer drill was able to make it into the cinderblock wall although it took some time and noise. Downstairs, which was concrete walls since it was apparently a bomb shelter when it was built, I was barely able to make one hole in about an hour. I had to let the battery and bit cool off more than once. I borrowed a dewalt rotary hammer drill with the SDS masonry bit and made every other hole in less than a minute. I can't speak to a specific brand but I expect almost anything would do it as long as its a rotary hammer drill. I don't remember the model I used but it was probably about the same as this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-8-5-Amp-1-1-8-in-Corded-SDS-plus-D-Handle-Concrete-Masonry-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-Kit-D25263K/301224266 $170 seems a bit much for a single project but I don't know if the harbor freight $100 ones would be as good.

There's a hammer drill, and then there's a rotary hammer. Think about it this way: A hammer drill is a drill that also hammers. A rotary hammer is a hammer that also drills.

The trick to getting it to dig in fast and keep cutting is to put some weight on it, and back it out every 10-15 seconds. The powder loads up the tip and rubs, creating heat. if you don't relieve that by pulling the bit up out of the hole to pull the dust out, you'll burn the carbide tip and the drill is now hosed.

Yeah the one that he rented was a rotary hammer drill but being a rental it could've been messed up. The hammer drill he bought afterwards that broke wasn't rotary and while I'm surprised it broke, my advice is predicated on a normal hammer drill being insufficient for the job. If he's got some kind of house masonry wall to install the lag bolts for his trellis that the milwaukee rotary hammer drill can't get through then he's got to be drilling into some kind of heavy steel plate or something which seems unlikely. I'd guess it's hard concrete and maybe he's hitting rebar, although they should get through that too with some extra effort if he's got a good carbide bit.

The problem with the rental ended up being the bits I rented along with it, not the rotary hammer/hammer drill itself. The bits were dulled to poo poo. I got some brand new sharp bits with the Makita rotary drillhammer whateverthefuck I bought and was at least able to make decent-ish holes after that.
