Perfect, ive changed out an axe head but ive seen videos where people try to hammer, tap the head down and it doesn't provide a tight fit. When hanging my axe handle i turned it upside down and tapped the bottom of the handle and it definitely drives it in further. I found an 8lb sledge in a toolbox drawer that's old snd I'm definitely gonna buy a new handle and mount it.
Bought my handle from Ace Hardware. My problem was I bought a handle that was too big and I tried to sand it down to fit. Did not go all the way down to where the thicker part of the handle starts. Broke off after a while of using it. My fault. Went back and bought a shorter handle with a narrower diameter. Still had to stand it down a little bit but was able to install the big fat wedge, and I used the old conical metal insert and not the two wedges. Get the head down to the beginning of the handle. Much much better. Your instructional video convinced me to not use the wedges. I was able to drive my shallow sand point well on our cabin property up north without having the head fly off. So that's good. Thank you for the video.
Why it on the ground in the first place ha ha ha. I work with alot of noobs who think it's ok to put their harness on the ground. The way I was bought up in Industrial construction I never put my harness on the ground. Oh weld.
My guy doing templates, double wire, with the hook in the beginning, plus did nice tugs, plus the tie using the pliers to tug down off the rebar with a twist, then cutting off access wire and tapping it down...perfection.
Use your pliers to throw the wire around the vertical and then grab the wire with your pliers, snap it against the bar to take the slack out of the wire and hug the bar better, in the long run less over twisting, over prying which gives you some speed
I got hired on as Labour 2 And 28 story job, i know nothing Hardest part is talking to god in the sky Im Imtimidated Im 4 days in Rookie Green Help please, i can handle Bucketguy on the concrete transfers, had it after first load.. Is my boss crazy or should i stick too it. Thanks
Best advice is to not try to fake it till you make it. Don’t try to do a task that you’re not trained to do, have the right tools/equipment/ppe, or proper information. Be a sponge and try to learn everything there is pertaining to your work. Talk with the experienced coworkers, ask why, get involved, take any and all safety courses available, and of course google and youtube. Best of luck to you and stay safe!
When you first insert a new cartridge into the tube adapter, are you supposed to open it some way at the end where the glue come out? I’m currently trying to figure out if I’m supposed to pop it at the end before I start squeezing out glue, or if you just insert and start cranking down until it squirts out
Brian same question here. I have talked to many young office type Hilti reps.who say, no puncturing needed at the nozzle end. I have watched 10 videos on this tool. 2 of them show an operator pulling out a plastic 'wad/plug' with a nail then puncturing the foil twice (like traditional cartridges). I am afraid of an internal implosion under pressure if no hole is made but supposed to. Owners manuals do not show any puncturing or unplugging. Just insert, and start squeezing. Did you find out anything? Matt Goddard-Owner Poetry In Stone
@@DeinemudderHauke I just used this platform for a sculpture project. After much research and asking of Hilti Reps, I felt assured that 'no puncturing' anywhere on the 'cartridges/sausages' is necessary. This video, (and others) are vague on details. First you insert cartridge with nozzle screwed on, squeeze til you hear a pop(3-6 trigger pulls) this means the 'cartridge/sausage' is punctured internally, then 3-6 more trigger pulls will show the ingredients mixing in the nozzle. Let the first 3 dabs of partially mixed epoxy be waste material on some cardboard/plastic, then as he says you are ready to 'Rock and Roll' Our 2 operators used up 7 (11oz) cartridges in 15 minutes. We worked fast since it was hot day. The success of our expensive project hinged on the performance of this Hilti product and platform. I am pleased with the result, but surprised that it took over 5 hours of online and real world research to determine whether the cartridges/sausages needed 'pre puncturing'. Some language barriers amongst video creators added further muddiness to the use protocols. After using once, you will be a pro. The standard / basic metal caulking guns would not have extruded the amount of product in the 'working time' window that we had. If this operation was a regular scenario, I might even jump up to the battery powered model, but the manual option was smooth and hassle free. Good luck.
