I'd suggest that people looking to buy Snaptoggle anchors be careful to avoid fakes. I inadvertently bought fake Snaptoggles on Amazon a few years back.
Can I use the metal wall hangers to mount something that is in front of a duct to a vent? It seems like the metal ones would be the best. But is it wrong to screw anything into the duct through the drywall? It's just leading to a small intake vent. A little screw won't interfere with airflow to me.
I am going to be removing a section of the OSB that has cat urine and I need to be able to find any ducts, wires, joists or pipes that may be in that area so I don't damage them. Also knowing where those things are will allow you to work more easily so that it does not have to take a day for someone like me who doesn't do construction. I am only willing to do this since it seems easy enough assuming I know what is there and where. My worst nightmare is that it soaked into the joists too but people I spoke to said it probably didn't. I just want to make sure it did not since over time that could rot the wood (as if the odor wasn't bad enough!).
This video is not correct. I I've worked with many pocket doors. Sometimes only the top finishing trim needs to be removed, or other times both the top finishing trim and the top Jam piece on one side only need to be removed. Then you can access the nut on top of the door to lower the door and remove the holding assembly off the latch side of the door. Then pull it halfway out or so and remove the second hanging device. No need to remove any side trims. I could always get them out without removing any side trims. Also you can remove and replace the track without opening up the Hidden Side of the door wall, I've done it many times
that toggler anchor has a red or yellow push stick that pops it open. I swear by toggler. they exceed their weight. you need to tap it with a hammer making it flush to the wall.
I bought the DCW200B. I was skeptical but was trying to spare my wife the task of pointing my shop vac at every drywall patch. I was STUNNED at how well it worked as I did the first half-dozen nail holes I’d sanded. There was NO drywall dust in the room, on the floor and even the tool wasn’t dusty. I was a fan. Then things somehow went bad. It stopped collecting drywall dust. It wasn’t blocked (and yes, I’d emptied the bag) but what started as fantastic dust collection was now almost nothing. To add to the fun, the dust escaping the pad was thrown everywhere by the air coming off of the motor/fan. I even tried hooking my shop vac to the sander’s dust collection port. That didn’t help. I’m done with my project now having used the sander with my wife holding the shop vac. I planned to recommend this tool to everyone but as a sander/vacuum - it’s a good sander doing only half of what I’d hoped for. Love DeWalt tools and I own several but this one came up short for me. Please do a couple of rooms sanding spackle and prove me wrong. I’d be delighted to see that.
I’m a year late to the party and I’m really late to the power tool game. I’m 37 and I just learned how to use power tools so I’m embarrassed to say it. I just invested in drills and impact driver and I bought the brushed combo ones at first and I ended up buying the dcf850 cuz my new job I always have to work in tight areas and the DCF850 is a great investment for me. The DCF850 Is my fave in my toolbox.
