Power Tool Perverts

But the perfect ‘one only’ would be 1/4” long neck with a 3/8” anvil

That's exactly what I made (although it's rated to 1/4" power. It's the smaller head with 3/8" sized anvil.

 

[jameswrx]

Where did you get the anvil, states?

Yes mate, it's from usa Amazon. I think it was around £20 delivered?

It's a replacement anvil for the non fuel 3/8 version.

I wish i wouldn't have asked the question now. I dont even need a ratchet really, but now i want 2

I use the 3/8" fuel standard reach one all the time. I'll be honest the high speed one wouldn't tickle my willy at all, I don't see why you would want to run nuts on or off any faster. You'd end up dropping them.

The 3/8" has enough power to crack off a surprising amount of things too from my experience. The reason why I modified the above one was for hard to reach places, I wouldn't use it as a general use ratchet.

Anyone interested in buying this from me?
Literally taken one nut off with it but I’d like to upgrade to an 18v one since I have batteries now.

How much would you be after? Cos I really don't need it but....

 

[Pep]

Make me an offer mate? Obviously after as much as possible as it’s brand new!

Ok don't take the pi$$ but I am no Handy Andy.


I need to put this floating shelf up.
Measure from centre of the bracket to the end of the shelf.
Mark on wall where the shelf will go and the ends.
Then mark where centre of the bracket is in relation to the end and then drill the bracket in?

I'm only nervous as wife has told me not to f**k it up and I was worried about the brackets not lining up.

Sounds like you are over thinking it way too much.

Mark a faint pencil line on the centre of the floating shelf towards the back near bracket.

Mark Centre of bracket so it matches with pencil line on shelf

Offer up the shelf up to the wall where you want it.
Using your centre line off the shelf, copy it onto the wall whilst holding the shelf up.

Put bracket up against wall and Mark some fixing holes (with a level line drawn off your centre line on wall)

Drill holes, fix bracket to wall. Put shelf on

 

[Djw John]

You could do that but @Yorkshire Pudding will probably recommend this at a minimum.

Seperate brackets? Hold spirit level against shelf and mark it where brackets should be, transfer spirit level to wall and copy marks onto the wall.

Always one or the other eh?! Rough as f**k or overkill.

Forgot the pic..
I think I'll just mark the centre of the bracket on the shelf then against the wall.

Got a pick of my Milwaukee against my mates snap on 3/8”, snap on is a lot better size and seems to be faster. Looks similar size to the 1/4” Milwaukee with an even sleeker neck. Shame they’re so bloody dear.

So tempted to get one one if these. What battery you using on it?

Just the 2.0 that I got with the ratchet. I'll see how long it lasts but it claims to be decent lasting.

I've been honest about my spending, the last thing I'd want on my deathbed is the thought of her selling my s**t for nothing 🥲

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

At least he's accurate. Would have cost way more if he was a king and had Ryobi tbh

So I'm thinking my old pre Fuel M18 gun has seen its best days now. Struggles to crack off wheel nuts at times now even with a full battery.


I'm sure I asked before about a replacement but csnt remember what was recommended. Mid torque something

Gen 3 mid torque is more than enough for general work on cars. 800Nm in reverse 600Nm forward.

If you want nut-busting torque I recommend one of these...

That's the one.

Think it's Gen 2 they're up to, not 3 😂

 

[thecrim22]

Get the big one dont piss about with the mid torque one as you will end up using it for everything because you can

 

[-Jamie-]

Mid torque is more than enough for what I'll ever need to use it for.


Ill pay someone to do anything that would require the big one [emoji1787]

 

[thecrim22]

Pussy..... To scared to handle the power🤣🤣

 

[dann2707]

That looks like a really decent all rounder.

I'm still using the stubby for pretty much everything around an engine bay that's accessible, then use the big boy for wheel nuts and anything over m10. Works well for me.

Well my lock up got broken into last night and the cnuts nicked everything.

I had 4 impact wrenches, grinders, lights, tool kits. Everything gone and to top it off they even nicked my 1series that i had fixed that day ready to put back on the road.

So to make myself feel better iv decided to go red. So far iv order the 3 piece auotmotive kit and also the mid torque kit with a couple of extra batteries.

Is the cordless grinder any good? Also any recommendations for work lights?
