Yes this was very educational. I'm partway through a job. Don't know about my next step. Very hardened large steel bolt. Using carbide bits. May resort to a diamond hole saw but many videos say they don't work good? I've used them in the past and they really helped with broken taps, and extractors. Keep up the great videos!

The most important part of an investigation is a reliable diagnosis. You say the the water pipe in the vicinity is the primary suspect and a blocked cavity the other suspect, therefore you should have also checked the water pipe and fixed any leak found before moving on to such things as injecting damp proof courses. Also using a cement rich 1:3 mortar when repairing old (or even modern) brickwork is totally incorrect as mortar must be weaker and more breathable than the bricks because it is a sacrificial material. Finally you place too much faith in your damp meter and to emphasize this here is a quotation from Protimeter about electric moisture meters. “Contrary to popular belief, a moisture meter is not a diagnosis tool. Rather, it helps an inspector make an informed call about moisture’s presence within a space or material. If your meter is giving you a high reading, that merits further investigation -- dampness may not be the reason for the measurement; metals and salts cause false-positive readings.”

Thanks mate I’ve got a small tap snapped in my motorbike frame and I’ll give it another shot when I get home from holiday where I’ve just been watching your video. 👍

Try a steel roll spring set in the drill and run in reverse. It will remove wood until it grips the screw enough for it to unscrew.

What if it's a upvc door?

Nicely presented. Thank you very much.

Hello, sorry to bother but may I get the link to all the materials on eBay? Thanks, mate.

Great video. We had scaffolding up on our kitchen roof to get to the main roof to replace broken and missing tiles and the scaffolding broke 6 tiles under the boards they'd placed to spread the load. Scaffolders said they'd inform the roofer. We've tried for a week to get in touch but all means of communication have failed so now I have to source replacement tiles and do it myself before the rain comes next week 😡.

I have a wall that needs repointing and instead of buying a ready mixed mortar I'd like to knock some up myself. What's the ratio for repointing, Google says different and some RU-vid channels say different

Fix up upvc window

Interesting video, I'd never heard of stainless galling before. I've rebuilt several bicycles using stainless fasteners, and not encountered any problems like this - maybe screwing into aluminium and/or using copper grease has prevented problems.

Will it fit small taps like 6-32?

Thank you for the informative video😊

Excellent video. Thanks so much 👍🏼

Thankyou so much for this tutorial, I appreciated you showing us under the sink as you did as my taps are secured to copper pipes like this too and not the bendy tube, i was worried how i'd be able to change the taps but seeing you do it gives me some more confidence to try, appreciate it

I know this is an old video but it made my day in 2024 😁

Does this work on insulated plasterboard

Kind of a waste of time. Lol

I have a 30mm slab. How long should my anchor bolt be? Can I use a wall plug and screw as well as an alternative?

do dishwashers have a service gap. the electrics are ran behind the appliance in 16mm deep trunking. or will cables need to be chased in the wall?

Thanks for the video I have to do this tomorrow, hope its ok 👍

Is it possible to fit it in reverse? For some reason both my doors have the cylinder the other way around.

Random Q but can inuse bucket instead of just putting the cement onto mud

Great video with great tips. Thankyou.

Just ordered the saw from Menards here in the US. The extra long track (110 inches total) is out of stock everywhere including the Evolution website. I got lucky and found one aftermarket site that has it in stock. They’re not going to sell many saws unless they offer a full-length track.

Hi, Is that x2 bottles of 1ltr inhibitor for a standard 8 rad system? Thnx

Well explained. Thank you!

Thanks you for sharing.

Can I use this to center punch a deep broken bolt to extract it ?? The way the bolt broke made a cone shape and it’s impossible to center punch because it slips to the side

Thank you, really helpful 😊xx

Had to replace a back box today as it was completely stripped on one side, will buy some of these if it happens again, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Thanks for posting the video. I had a nut that was getting stripped and the 6 point ratchet worked like a charm.

Amazing

Great video from 6 years ago. We are making a scissor mechanism this way! I'm happy with this video because i was wondering how this worked for years

Fantastic video, used it when we thought we'd have to take the whole tap out! Worked a treat, the cold one was intermittent. Just the hot tap refused now 😂. Have to give it some proper elbow greese

I have a hollow metal door that has a barrel bolt on it to keep it closed (back of my garage) on the top in to the door frame. I can't keep the screws from pulling out and stripping the hole that holds the bolt mechanism. Thought I needed anchors so tried drywall anchors but because of the little spikes on the anchors that won't grab into the metal, they just spin and spin. Maybe this tool will work with the right kind of anchors. I don't know what kind of anchors would work on a hollow metal door. Help?

Would you advise using cold joint sealer first?(that spray stuff)

Takes toooo long

I cant believe how well the rubber band worked!

Thanks 🎉🎉😊

i wanna do the same for my 17mm aluminium i think through axle can i do this easily without problems?i want to install 2 squer sized bolts to atach a mtb trailer that uses i think 12mm axle mounts but my axle has a very large allen key one end and threaded other end.it should have enough thickness but its the pulling weight on the axle im concerned about.it seems like aluminium.

there fluid form tapping?

Is that sold in us

How closely could these be spaced do you think, without compromising the plasterboard?

They both suck😮

Great video. I didn’t realise I had to drill a hole to see the screw for the 2nd cylinder. Well explained. Many thanks.

Thank you so much..

This broke after 2nd use. Not sure what the issue is with the ratchet, cant see any visible damage. Bought it off Amazon so it might be a fake.

Hello, can I ask, if your base module width is 600, what is the width of the door? (I usually leave the door 4 mm narrower than the base module.)

You have just saved me hours of scraping a grove around a headlight on my truck. Someone had tried to reattach the headlight cover with silicone! After getting that cleaned out I will be using Flex Glue to put it back on!
