Chainsaws are just one of those tools that are very enjoyable to use and they make quick work so once your little job is done, you'll be looking for more to use it on. It's a sickness.

Been pretty impressed with the 6" clamps on sale, nearly harbor freight prices and seem more in line with other brand quality. Bob Mundon fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Dec 25, 2023 |

Back to air compressors, assuming my use cases are confined to my own house, is it the worst idea to upsize beyond a portable ‘will run a small nailer’ model, stick it in the basement, and have enough hose on hand to get to my project? In my head this gives me future capacity for more air hungry tools and noise isolation (more so if I build a housing for it) with the only drawbacks being upfront cost and accounting for pressure losses on whatever hose length.

Probably depends A LOT on how air hungry your future tools are going to be. 20 gallon compressor tanks are obviously bigger than your pancake and would be fine for running your nail guns and so on, but for a lot of things, including automotive stuff (air ratchet, die grinder, impact etc) its extremely barely adequate. Hope the actual compressor that comes with it has a high duty cycle.

Remember a lot of this is how much downtime you're willing to have between blaps. 20 gallons isn't going to run a mechanics shop but it's going to get some brap braps out to loosen a lug nut. Probably a few. It will definitely run an air nailer if my pancake can get 2 shots. Get the idea? I mean my little pancake can't set the air pressure in 3 cars tires without recharging twice but the cut in is pretty high. But 20gal? Oh sure. I don't even know how many gallons mine is.

The space a 20+ gallon compressor consumes can hold a lot of batteries for cordless tools. I’ve sold off most of my air stuff and will just go battery powered from here on out. The extra weight and size isn’t an issue for my hobbyist skill level.

I pulled 20 gallons out of my rear end as I see compressors frequently with tanks about that size. Iirc pancake compressors are about 5 gallon. I mentioned duty cycle because once the tank gets depleted enough, if you don't have time to wait for it to charge again the compressor is going to start running and if you're using something like a grinder for more than a minute or three, that compressor is going to be running constantly. As mentioned above of course, a few lug nuts on an impact gun won't matter that much if you just need to change a tire or whatever

Asked for the ryobi 3 gal vac from my mom for Christmas. Had a chance to use it today for a couple of projects, it rules. Haven’t tried the blower feature but videos show it good enough to clear a workbench.

I get the added bonus of the battleships onsite soapboxing how older tools are just better. As they constantly unplug tools to plug other tools in and wonder why the compressor keeps throwing the breaker.

Recommendation on a submersible water pump? Automatic turn on is a plus so I could theoretically just leave it outside. Use cases: - Mostly getting water out of my kids sand box lid (tarp) - Maybe pump water out of my pool So doesn’t need to be 20 HP, but would be nice to pump down my pool slowly if needed.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Recommendation on a submersible water pump? Automatic turn on is a plus so I could theoretically just leave it outside. Those are two completely different use cases that will not be serviced with the same pump. Any pump that can pump shallow enough for your first use case will be something like 2-4 GPM and would not have a duty cycle to pump down a pool - you'd likely smoke it after an hour/couple hundred gallons.

I pumped thousands and thousands of gallons up 8’ out of my flooded basement with this bad boy: https://www.waynepumps.com/product/wwb/ Assuming the rate of flow is sufficient for you (like 1300gph) it ought to work just fine. They have an auto pump too but never tried it.

Philips and slotted suck poo poo, and the supposed "benefit" (usually adjacent-size drivers work) is bullshit. With any driver, if you use the adjacent-sized driver, you're going to strip the head if you apply any appreciable amount of torque to it. We use Torx screws for everything at work, they're superior in every way and you can usually use hex drivers in a pinch. Yeah you can overtorque if you're not careful, but tbh if you're the type to gorilla-torque every single screw, you don't belong anywhere near tools anyway.
