Welcome Everyone! This channel will be the place for tool related topics and reviews, new and exciting construction and building science techniques, plus some other homestead/preparedness topics as I go along. If your into the specs, numbers, and all sorts of other nerdiness in the tool, construction, and homestead spaces then this is the channel for you!
Klein drawers seems to have more reinforcement. Just bought into the pack out system a lot of versatility, however did not purchase the drawers , I’m going to wait hoping Milwaukee designs a reinforced drawer system. It’s a lot of money spent on something that seems a considerable amount of pack-out users complain about.. until then Ridgid especially for the price seems more acceptable drawer system to live with. Especially Home Depot having a big Ridgid Modular sale. So a combination of Packout boxes and Ridgid drawers seems like a good compromise.
I have a snowjoe which I like. Only complaint I have is I can only throw the snow forward so I have to start at each end over the sidewalk and work towards the middle. This seems to have the same issue
Great comparison, I actually have both, Gedore also makes very similar and also blue tools. From the start I can tell you I like the knipex ones more, I have some older versions slightly different from the new ones and also heavier. Weight is not a real problem here. Actually this lever action button is not the best when you work outdoor and some debris can go under that lever on the hazet. If that pivot pin is not fully seated you can do some damage to the teeths. The knipex is easier to clean,and that lever doesn't make much difference for me. Also the heat treatment is better on the knipex cobra, more durable teeths on the gripping jaws. Don't get me wrong, hazet makes great tools, sockets, torque wrenches, and special tools for automotive industry. But I mostly choose knipex when it comes to pliers.
I just returned a CXS 12 to get this one. The CXS 12 screams like a Banshee at full power! Plus I prefer the mechanical clutch. I found the electronic clutch on the CXS 12 to be unreliable. Also, I know this does not have an offset head, but I think the right-angle head is small enough to fulfill that need in many situations.
This could work. It has limited capacity so it will run out of air quickly but for an RC car it may be just fine. Another option you could consider is the high speed blower/inflator from Makita. They have both a 40v and 18v. May be perfect for a task like that and you could take it with you to the track. 👍🏻
TP6B was my first veto purchase. I really liked the idea of this bag, however there were some issues with it. It tends to tip rather easily, and because there is no flap, the tools just fall out. I work out of a vehicle and we're always driving around back and forth, so the bag is gonna move around no matter what. I ended up going back to a regular ol' tool bag that I can zip up. I gave away my TP6B to my brother in law and he loves it, he works inside so these issues don't bother him. Veto has since come out with the TP-LD which is more-or-less this bag but with a flap cover and a wider base. I'm seriously considering it.
I like both of these bags and they are still in use. I would certainly recommend them. Great idea with the follow up video, maybe I can do one of those soon. 👍🏻
Good question, I am not sure why that is. I would think that you will probably be happy with either. 👍🏻 Just be aware that the 9308 is only tang thru. The Impacta screwdrivers rotate slightly when hit with a hammer.
If I am understanding your question correctly, you are asking if this will replace a ratchet and a screwdriver. It would to some extent. I am positive that even in a DIY setting you will find situations where a ratchet would be better or a screwdriver. That isn’t to say that this isn’t useful, but I wouldn’t necessarily think of it as a true replacement for both tools. 👍🏻 Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Team blue here. I love them so much I got 2 combos so that makes a total of 2 drill drivers and 2 impact drivers. Powerful, light, nice to hold and last for days. They also always have redemption sales I ended up having 8 batteries altogether (4 came with the kits and 4 via redemption). Best part is in Australia we get 6 years warranty on batteries too!
Nice choice. 👍🏻 Always good to have a bunch of batteries, and I didn’t realize that the warranties varied so much from country to country. Good deal for you.
@@garnerreviews it is impossible to avoid buying Chinese made goods. However, I limit doing so as much as I can. There are many brands comparable to SK. Made in places like Taiwan where the people choose their government.
Thanks true. I have tried to limit the amount of goods that I buy from China. It seems to me easier to do so with hand tools, there are lots of options from either the US or its allies. 👍🏻 Taiwan certainly has some good hand tools on the market.
@@garnerreviews The steel is very hard , the Japanese are pretty good with tool heat treats , prolly not a good idea to pry or do anything silly with them ,
How is the VDE handle (I assume you have that as well) + slim blade combo compared to the Wera Kraftform Kompakt ? Does it have any play ? The Wera has some and I don’t like that. But a Wera set is less than half of the price of PB Swiss here in Europe (40€ Wera with 6 slim blades vs 100€ PB with 5 slim blades). You could do a video on detailing/testing the quality of the PB Swiss VDE kit as there is absolutely NO such information on YT (other than unboxing and just briefly presenting the tools). Tightening the screw in a circuit breaker and checking if there is any play in the handle when you torque down the screw is a good test for lateral stability. Pressing with a flathead blade (like in those push-in wire connectors) would check if there is any front-to-back wiggle.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I like the idea of doing a follow up video with some testing of the PB Swiss VDE drivers. Stay tuned in the future. But I will say I think there is very little if any movement. As with everything else PB Swiss, the quality is very apparent. 👍🏻
Good review! I'm starting to get into tools, I have many knipex tools in my Amazon cart. I'm looking forward to buying them, I'll also get some of their pliers, cobras and so on. Have a look at their cutter, it's amazing! Have a great day!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Welcome to the world of quality tools. Which cutters specifically are you mentioning? I would like to check them out. 👍🏻
I always wanted one but because I don't use it everyday so i picked up a makita clone lol. and after rewinding the stator I feel quite satisfied except the trigger switch ,, it is not a linear potentiometer, it is just stepped of 7 reistors
Hey, you got to do what makes sense for you. 👍🏻 Glad you found something that works for you and helps get the occasional jobs done. Thanks for watching and commenting.
to be honest Festool not a power house on there Drills or impacts but they are not marketed to the construction world nor would I recommend them for that they are for the Cabinet maker and fine wood workers and who in there right mind would spend that kind of money to use it in the rain out doors on a job site where it will get dropped or fall and see abuse Fest tools great for specialty tools and Craftspersons that use there tools to make money and a living not for DIY or Construction
In general I would agree that Festool’s main market focus is wood working and cabinetry. But I get a sense that more recently they are making a small push towards the construction site/remodeling sector. They are mighty fine tools and I certainly enjoy using them. 👍🏻
never tried, would love to, but having 3 sets already from European brands (yes, i know), it won't probably be for soon. Anyhow, looks nice and from what I heared, you can't go wrong with Vessel. Nice presentation
My limited experience with them tells me the same, very well made screwdrivers that will compete with any other brand. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@garnerreviews No problem, It really rang a bell for me as i do a similar thing I have a EDC pocket stuff and then a Veto Pouch for quick grab then bags set up for different jobs. I’m about to do a similar bag set up too just waiting on some tools for it :)
Nice review, thanks for the time and effort you put into it - always instructive to see follow up reviews a year or two down the line. These machines aren't cheap, we want them to last! 🙂The only extractors that exceed the Festool range are those made by Starmix - Metabo, Mafell and 3M have the iPulse in a comparable size to the CT 36 E AC. Out of interest do you ever use the AC function with a closed bag installed? And how is this holding up after another year of use?
It has been running great, certainly a machine worth the cost. I have run the AC function with a closed bag, especially in situations with fine dust (drywall etc.) because I figure some of that dust may escape the bag and I can’t see it hurting the machine to run that function. I would say that if you can afford a top tier dust extractor, like the Festool or Starmix (I don’t have experience with them but have heard they are phenomenal) then you should get one. 👍🏻
@@garnerreviews Thanks for getting back to me. On using a closed bag + the AC function while sanding drywall compound - what sort of intervals are you setting for the AC? No problems with overheating? Are you managing to fill the bag or at least, close to full? And are you noticing a build up of residual dust in the body of the extractor?
@@okafka5446Great questions. To be clear, I am not using it exclusively for drywall. So I can’t speak to how it runs only doing drywall although I assume it would handle it just fine since it was designed around that purpose with the Planex. I have played with the cleaning intervals and it doesn’t seem to heat up if the intervals are higher. Usually if I am doing a lot of drywall sanding I use the maximum auto clean setting. And in my experience so far, it will fill a bag completely with almost no loss of suction. My last bag I decided to check it only because the machine felt heavy when I lifted it. It was completely full and I hadn’t noticed a change in suction. There is little to no dust in the bin with my usage so far. 👍🏻 Hope that helps.
Been holding up great. Have used it a bunch (my preferred drill for most things) even doing some concrete drilling and it performs great. If you are considering one, I would recommend it. 👍🏻
FEQ-Plus. = what does this mean? (Feq i heard was the Motor inside) RO = Rotex (the belt driven motion) 90 = ? DX = Delta extension (the triangular edge sander)
Great question. I am not one hundred percent on this but I think this is what it means. F - Fastfix sand pad system E- Electronics ie. variable speed control Q- Removable plug Plus - comes in a systainer R- Rotary O- Orbital 90- Size of sanding pad in mm DX - Delta pad? If anyone else can correct or confirm that would be great. 😁 Thanks for asking and watching.
Correct all magnetic. For some people I am sure it is fine but I have moved away from this as well, partially due to the magnet. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
I think the reason for the magnets, is because there's physically not enough room in the thickness of the drive between the 1/4 and 3/8 drive to make them locking.
The quality is definitely there and you are correct about the additional steel. Definitely heavier than their Knipex equivalents. Thanks for watching and commenting.
WTF with people and all the effing music in videos??? Makes me sick, I’m serious!!!!!! Sick of it, lousy stinkin TikTok wannabes!!!!!!! Just make the review and get on with it, you dig? 😯 😆 😂
@@garnerreviews GarnerReviews, Great reply and I owe You an apology, my feelings on the subject notwithstanding. Was on some medication and I let my emotions run wild. No excuse, and I should have edited my comment. Nuttin but Love my man! 👍✌😊
@@georgedavall9449 No worries, I thought it was funny. And I do appreciate people telling me that they don’t care for music with the video (seems to be the general consensus). Going forward I will likely remove the music and see how people like the videos. 👍🏻 Hope you are doing well
@@garnerreviews Thank You for that! Some prefer some music, and if done right, I dont find it to be so objectionable. It seems some creators throw it in and it ‘fills’ the gaps in their poor videos. I think You do a good job, and dont need that stuff. 😊 I am Ok and getting better, Thanks! Hope You are doing well and stay safe and Healthy!
I was just looking at my collection of caulking guns. The convoy lite is actually my first or maybe second dripless gun I have tried and it is the reason why I went out and bought a bunch of other caulking guns that make a similar claim, but with a higher ratio this time. I have a bunch of Dripless brand and they work….only if the tube does not have any air bubbles. newborn has a few good ones too, but they also experience similar issues like the Dripless where it drips about 1 in. Then I came across the Ox drip free gun….P045910…and this thing works flawlessly. 12:1 ratio perfect for finish caulking, but expensive as hell. It costs at least 5 dollars more than the Tajima convoy super that has a similar ratio. The best part about this gun is the ability to turn drip on and off. Highly recommended.
Thanks, someone else suggested the Ox guns. I will definitely be checking them out. Sounds like they have a good product. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sounds to me like you want the regular zyklop. Only has a square drive head, but it has mechanical retention, and comes with a rapidaptor. Plus a larger selection of sockets. Im 90% sure the heads are interchangable too, so you could take the regular zyklop head and pair it with the pocket body for bit storage, then put a square drive extension and rapidaptor in the extention slot. It's a bit of a project, but if mechanical retention is your desk breaker then that would be the way to go.
Yeah that is certainly a possibility, one I have considered exploring. It is a decent tool but isn’t the right fit for me. But it would be interesting to play with a version with the swapped head. 👍🏻
! Made in Germany= Supports Genocide and Murdering/Deliberate starvation/ Sniper Killing of Babies Children, Women and innocent men in Palestine, ie GAZA and Westbank by Israel! NO THANKS ON GERMAN MADE TOOLS!!
Yeah the price is definitely up there. Might be worth it for some though, and it seems like you are getting a quality pair of pliers which I would expect from Hazet. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yeah Ks not silent.. theres a utube vid from knipex teling you its kuh-ni-pex.👌 either way good stuff, only recently heard of Hazet, theres also a 3rd german company but forgot name.
I believe as @jasonmanahan6188 has said, it is pronounced kuh-ni-pex according to Knipex. But honestly in the states most people know what you are referring to either way you pronounce it. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
@@garnerreviews overall good vid, as someone looking to get into the hvac trade Ive been shopping for tools here and there.. Ive been so inated in US culture and advertising that you forget theres a whole nother world outside whats fed to us media wise, also theres magnum tools from finland, they also have some interesting tools.
