Power Tool Perverts

[R3k1355]

Anyone else wanna recommend a Dewalt??

 

[rctempire]

Have zero need for this now that ive been using the normal circular saw.
But its on back order so will most likely forget it and will be a tool surprise.

Plan was to use it for the replacement of floor boards with new chipboard.
Never worked out but still new tool coming soon.

 

[Racky]

Back to impact wrenches : is 700-800nM enough to remove some subframe bolts ? I need a gun for removing wheels, and do the brakes/ different arms/ suspension bushes , but also planing to remove the subframe and rear beam from Clio and refurb those.
Was looking at Dewalt DCF899P2 or a Milwaukee M18, both having around 800nm and 2 x 5A batteries.

 

[Brigsy]

Dcf 899p will easily spin subframe bolts out as they are tightened to a max of 105nm. It wont struggle with any bolts on a clio, it has no problems undoing hub nuts that are torqued to 280nm+. Crank pulley bolt flys out too no dramas at all.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah that'll be fine.

I used to have the Gen 1 Milwaukee Mid Torque which was around the 800Nm mark and it laughed at most things.

I imagine lots of folk know this already but figured out the other day you can fit a normal hacksaw blade to a recip saw.

Real handy if you need to bend round a corner slightly to get down a tight gap.

I did not know that!

Do you have a fast or slow charger?

Mine is sometimes fussy with the fast charger, so I do the M12 stuff with the slow.

Or you could try jumping it with another M12 if you have one.

I’ve just got a pair of these.

Will take a look into jumping the battery 👍

Whats it doing flashing red and green? If so try leaving it on the charger for a good while then taking it off and putting it back on again

Exactly that, will give that a try too 👍

Did you have it inserted (hehehe) in a tool?

 

[Matt Cup]

Nope, always disconnect the battery. This particular battery was mainly used for the leaf blower if that makes any difference?

Yeah they're the slow chargers I use.

Not really🤣🤣 my old fucked gun spazes out batteries if i leave them on it

 

[Dom_capper]

Try cleaning up the terminals. I had this with a brand new battery once. Gave it a clean out with air and it was good.

Anybody used a reasonably cheap metal sheer like below?

The fuel pumps messing me around on the mk3 and Renault in there infinite wisdom decided it was a tank off job to replace.
Which I cba with so I’m just going to cut the access hole larger but want something that’s not going to spark.

[Robbie Corbett]

Tanks easy to drop on a 182, rather do that than use a sheet metal nibbler on it.

Edit - sorry, they are sheers. You can get nibblers even cheaper that go in your hand drill but I still wouldn't vs just dropping the tank unless its very crusty.

 

[Jamie86]

Would a decent pair of tin snips not work?

It’s the mk3 shitter and I’d have to take the whole exhaust off as it’s one piece and the rear brake lines which is a hassle just to swap the pump.
If it was a mk2 it’d be a piece of piss to change I cannot fathom why Renault decided to make the access hole smaller on the mk3. Bloody French.

I did think of that after posting I’ve got a decent set in the garage so might give it a go with that first.

Ahh my bad, yea snip snip.

DRILL NIBBLER

I haven't used one this s**t before but have used a nice air one and it flew through the 1mm sheet steel I was cutting.

Gen 2 stubby coming soon.

 

[Jamie86]

Just in case anyone hasn’t seen.

 

[Mr Underhill]

I need a decent electric ratchet. I have lots of 3/8 & 1/4 sockets. Any recommendations? Nothing heavy duty.

That or the high speed one if you don't quite need the torque.

The head size is smaller on the high speed too compared to the other.

Typical. No discount on that one.

 

[Mr Underhill]

Ignore me 🤦🏻‍♂️

Long reach is the one you want 😎

Both just in case 😂

Cheers chaps. Went for the M12FHIR38-0 and the higher powered battery.

It’s not for my car, but a project I’m starting with a lot of bolts. It’ll save me a lot of time. Thank you for the code 😊

I'm tempted by this bundle to help me disassemble the clio (and throw it over the fence).

Not sure the 18v impact adds much the 12v stubby doesn’t tbh.

Quite a bit more torque on the mid-torque.

Stubby is around 300Nm I think, Mid-torque around 900.
