Power Tool Perverts

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, stubby.

Mine definitely seems to be more powerful in arrow mode. I tested it a couple of times now, when in 3 and it has that ‘not gonna touch it sound’ switch to arrow and it gets it off fine.

Before I tried the other week I’d always just left it in 3 (unless I wanted to use the low torque wind down of arrow mode). Had a bolt that wasn’t budging in 3 and for some reason just tried arrow and it came undone.

I think two modes would be enough for me, full power both ways and the arrow mode can be handy sometimes for tightening stuff you want to torque.

I'll have to try that then on mine.

Tried looking for the specs, but could only find the rpm in different modes and it's the same rpm in mode 3 and 4 in reverse.

Yup, and with the leftover money you can paint it red and get these snobby f*****s back on board.

I've got one of these that I need to list for sale, pretty much as new really, including battery, charger, and starter set sockets etc.

Stripped two Clio’s for parts with one, perfectly fine for the job.

I had one of these until I became a man and swapped to Milkingthemanwhilsthe'swalking.

Make sure you get a 5ah battery for it, mine was dogshit with a 1.3 or 2ah.

Along with a cheap combi drill I bought a few weeks ago from Screwfix, this is the first power tool I've bought. I've never felt so manly, and now you're telling me this?! 😭

I'll definitely grab a 5ah battery then as it only comes with a 2ah in the box 👍

The shitting on the floor doesn't bother me as much as the lack of wiping does

Are you from 2000?

Hilti are s**t these days unless you're buying a whopping SDS or core drill🤣

 

[G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

What impact sockets are everyone using? I'm struggling to see anything wrong with the Halfords Advanced ones, given that they have a lifetime warranty, but I'm open to other suggestions

Think the halfords stuff is hard to beat simply because of how easy it is to have it replaced. Properly abuse the s**t out of mine and they're yet to break but even the woman in halfords said just throw it back at them if it breaks and they just go get another one. Mental really but that's their policy

Got a cheapo milwankee box and ripped out the plastic insert that's for a drill etc. Replaced it with some pluck and pull foam then slotted in my grinder and stubby impact.

Saves me throwing them into my toolbox and makes storage easier. Still need to glue down the foam so it keeps shape better but does as intended! Will need more boxes if I get more tools 🙄😂

Unfortunately hilti used to be good but they are really dated now. Its like my dad trying to convince me that super resin polish is the best polish on the market.

 

[Darren S]

Never really consider power tools being any different between the brands - but how wrong was I?

Had a bobby-basic Draper drill/screwdriver that has been great with flat-pack stuff, but not much else. Did a bit of DIY work last week that including drilling into walls and borrowed a Milwaukee set from a builder friend of ours. Wow - made absolute light work of the job at hand and the quality of the attachments and settings over what I have was really obvious.

Then again, it probably cost ten times as much

 

[Crayola]

Yeah but it worked better

Therefore justifying the price. Buy nice or buy twice

 

[J-J]

Not fishing for Kyle or Dan again but a lot of people overlook the consumables. They're like the tyres of power tools.

Most cheaper tools are used with cheaper bits hence the s**t performance, whilst those with nicer gear use nicer consumables and get double boost of quality.

A cheap tool can be effective if used with quality consumables, like an expensive tool can be s**t with an cheap old blunt drill bit.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Ryobi are doing an xmas deal. Buy one of their starte kits over £99 and get a free bare tool with it. RIP my bank...

 

[Crayola]

Comes with a free toolbench too

 

[dann2707]

Does it come with a free bin to put them in when you bringdid them?

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

listen lads. just cos ive got a small c**k ryobi impact doesnt mean you need to upset me

 

[Crayola]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

still, gotta be better than the 80nm max 'torque wrench' my dad bought for us to use.....

Ive done the maths. I fart with more torque than that thing produces.

 

[TheBandit]

New tool workflow:

1. Buy new tool
2. Start more challenging job's using new tool
3. Break Something
4. Buy more tools to rectify my actions

 

[donnylad]

New tool arrival.

I want to buy some empty Milwaukee boxes if anyone selling any!

 

[dann2707]

I have one from my hack saw sawzall thing I was gonna bang on ebay
