Thanks Brotha Bear! They started off rather tame (yes I own the Milwaukee and Dewalt right angle drives, as well as the drill attachment), then the kept getting weirder! Looks like you had a good time putting it together, probably with some input from Mrs Bear.
Bear, you just moved from Vegas. The last time I dug a hole here for a 1 1/2 inch sq. metal post I discovered using an old 1/2 -3/4 masonry bit, and sucked out the waste with my shop vac. It was like butter. 2 weeks earlier I dug the same post hole 50 ft. Away with a pic. 2 guys took an hour in this concrete hard rock the whole valley has. That auger is a great little device. ( I'd wrap my wrist, and gear down the speed)
my favorites and must buys are the Brush attachments, the wench, the Transfer Pump and the Gloves w/ Auger. The ones to see a Paw test is the Plucker and wench too.
Those metal shear drill attachments work great but I like the nibbler ones better. Dewalt actually has a 20vmax dedicated metal shear tool as well! Augers bit: mixing concrete in a bucket!! Heck yeah!
The augor bits are awesome! I used mine to plant my garden. I reseeded dead spota in my yard with it. If you set the clutch on a high setting and just hold in the trigger smd just push it 2 or 3 inches into the ground over and over you got yourself a tiller. Anytimr im digging into the ground im using it to lossen the dirt up.
Yep, wife loves it too. Definitely advise to use with the clutch depending on the power of your drill. If you hit a big rock then it's your wrist that'll be taking the brunt.
Wow I looked up alot of these with your links...i didn't know most of these even existed! Really enjoyed this video thanks. Call me crazy, I may try that massage attachment hahaha!
Funny post. But, as you requested, my two favorite tools in this list are, #1 the orange paint mixer for your drill. It's great for a gallon or less. I use it every time I open a gallon of paint. I just keep a bucket of water handy to wash it off as soon as the mixing is done. Sure is better than using the free paint stick they give you when you buy the paint. Washing is quick and easy. Got it at Home Depot for less than $10. #2 drill auger bit. I got the long (30") shaft 3" after bit for planting bulbs. Works great until you a big root. But, let's face it, nothing works great on big roots. But drills the hole fast so bulb planting is easy. I also use it for post holes. I just make multiple holes and manually take out the rest of the dirt in between. I have probably planted around 200 bulbs with this. One issue: if you have a powerful drill then go easy. When the auger sticks on a root you can hurt your arm when the drill starts to turn!
Ive had one of those flexible extensions for years. Surprisingly, I have used it many times. It does not work well when used in a power drill or driver though.
Bought a 18x3.5 auger bit to start holes for fence post. Works great, have to pull it out to clean it out a few times and move it over to make the hole wider then you can get in with the drill and go deeper. Better/faster than digging.
I have used an auger bit almost identical to the one you showed and it works well. The problem is it works well in loose soil- if you're using it and you hit a layer of clay or a tree root, the torque that feeds back will just about tear your wrist off. I hold the drill with both hands and my hands are clamped between my thighs to help mitigate that issue. I use it to make foot deep holes for furring strips to support paper targets for my long distance paper perforating pellet dispensers and it works great.
Red, I think we've all learned quite a bit more about your intimate life than maybe we desired to learn. Please, by all means, do go ahead and make us a demo video of that auger drill attachment. And maybe you can get the massager attachment to help unwind after making that video, before the jig is up!
I made the paint shaker reciprocating tool last summer from a used 6" recip blade, welded two hose clamps on and welded it to a six inch section. Of chrome motorcycle exhaust heat shield. Inserted the paint can into the hose clamps, the blade into the saw. Use it alot!!
I'd like to see the recip paint mixer, the grinder chainsaw, and the drill snake(more so a torture test). Feel like that paint mixer would be like a jackhammer 😆
I use the chopsaw frame... The size is limited, and it is much easier to use with a switched outlet. I also used the drill press stand to convert a hand drill. Space saving is the biggest benefit.
I actually have the auger. It does work well, as long as your drill is powerful enough. Use at the lowest speed setting (the highest gear ratio) for the most power. If you use it at too high a speed, the soil could fly everywhere, including pebbles, usually into your eyes. The gloves are for working with the soil as you’re planting. A number of companies make cutoff accessories for angle grinders. Never used one though. I have the Eastwood restorer tool. It’s more powerful, and has a lot of accessories. It’s more expensive, but it’s for Pro use, or for someone who will use it a lot.
I know the thing is cheap, but I would think that they would have a more exciting gear ratio than one that only claims 500lb pulling force. It just seems like a sad and wimpy number (and I did hear him say you don't NEED more than that). I'd love to see the bear plug it into a impact driver or wrench to see what it was really capable of!
Ok my #1 would be the winch just as a way to get heavy item up on top of camper #2 The water pump can be used to transfer fuel outa jerry cans into vehicle #3 Now this one you didnt mention but they do make it but turning drill into a drill press has the table n a wide base too and the chop saw outa a grinder yes and already have a 4 1/2" blade for it I used it as a mini circ saw at the time and does work but could use a foot for it to stable the tool for a good clean cut Those my picks and thanks again for the odd tool transformation video Thanks for Reading PEACE
That chicken plucker seems like a tool that would be on the "don't wear gloves with this tool" list! Also, that "chainsaw" label is hilarious! GOOD...till the last drop. GOOD...deal, till you need to go to the hospital from it. GOOD...if you want to be constantly frustrated with broken parts or overhead tools.
@@jamesanthony8438 Ah! A semi-legitimate legal loophole. But, if it is truly a bad product, then wouldn't all of the advertisements they buy be considered false advertising? 🤔 Though, if they don't advertise, then I guess it would just be bad company name choice...
I have the brushes love them great for cleaning everything from carpet to concrete and I also have the auger . I put in an egress window in during the shut down and only made it about 8 inches down . The next day pulled out the drill and the auger adapter and went to town made it dow three feet in four hours nothing but a shovel and a drill auger
While I've never used the angle grinder -> chop saw stand personally, I took a blacksmithing class where they had an angle grinder in one of those and used it for cutting up steel rods. It worked well enough, not something I could really see myself using though. I guess they used it because they figured it was safer than just having people freehand with the angle grinder.
Hey Red you left out the angle grinder converter for a biscuit jointer. I had one of those and it worked very well. I gave it to my son a few years back when i got a dewalt jointer real cheap. I think it was made by Milescraft. KUTGW
That flexible screwdriver is pretty much a hafta have on a cruising sailboat to access wiring buried in cabinets and bulkheads. Son in law used mine to get to the headlights on one of his vehicles that you have to disassemble to get to.
KD used to have a 1 in drive female to 1/4 in male adapter so you could use 1/4 in sockets on a 1 in drive....the catalog said it had no warranty...wonder why!
I'm a tools Rep and for a winch of 1000lbs if you want to do some lifting with it you can but you can only lift the half of the pulling capacity so in this case it will be 500lbs.
11:50 I have one of these but it's made of metal and it works really well. I let my father use it and he burned the grinder, I spent a whole day chopping wood and it was the best purchase I ever made.
The shears have been around for years as a trade tool under the name of Malco. I also own the have the winch it’s nice a compact great for lifting tools and materials up on rooftops 27 years SMWIA 104
OK so during the chicken plucker Segment you’ll notice to the right there’s a ad for a quail plucker with a Cylinder on it I’d like to see that tested if you could LOL
The Grizzly 4-1/2" Angle Grinder Stand looks very similar to a used Harbor Freight Model 40613 "Cut-Off Saw Conversion Kit" I purchased a few months ago from Craigslist for $10. I also purchased an older Makita 4-1/2" angle Grinder at a garage sale for $10, intending to use it exclusively on the HF Cut-Off Stand. It was a struggle to figure out how to mount and align the grinder to the stand as all 4 supplied bolts appeared to be intended to just bear against the grinder body, which I wasn't too crazy about. There are 2 bolts, one on the front and the other in back that were one size and the other 2 were another, smaller size (same as appears in the Grizzly picture). The larger bolts were the same size and thread as the side handle threads on the grinder, so the front one was determined to be the mount for the grinder to the carriage. I still had to use the other 3 to bear against the grinder body to hold it tight to the carriage. I padded the bolt ends with plastic tips to minimize damage to the grinder. The two padded screws shown on the left side in the Grizzly picture didn’t seem to fit up like I thought they should, but they were necessary to position and hold the cutoff wheel vertically, and seem to do the job. Alignment was another trying adjustment, but I finally got the cutoff wheel aligned in the slot and positioned so that the cutoff wheel cut through a little past the fence. Overall I’m happy with the ‘finished’ product and have used it several times with satisfactory results; but you’re not going to get precision cuts like a miter saw will give you, but your’ not usually trying for precision cut with a cutoff wheel and it sure beats getting out a hacksaw. I’m missing a couple of the things shown in the Grizzly picture: the front work holding clamp and wrench, and the spark guard, but I bet the parts from Grizzly will fit my HF unit. There isn’t much room for your fingers as the grinder is pulled down for holding short work pieces, so I may look into the front clamp from Grizzly. Would I buy the Grizzly? Probably not. You about have to dedicate a grinder to it to avoid the mounting and alignment required, and HF sells a complete Drill Master 6 in. 5.5 Amp Cutoff saw for about $5 more than the Amazon price for the Grizzly and you don’t need another grinder to use it. No idea how sturdy and accurate the drill Master unit is, but probably as good and less chance of getting out of adjustment as what I already have. I have $20 invested and didn’t know at the time HF had the Drill Master, I just wanted something to use for small parts without getting out my 14” Milwaukee abrasive cutoff saw, and when I saw the Craigslist ad I went for it. Update: just for S&G, I went to the Grizzly site and the Grizzly Angle Grinder Stand is priced at $32.95 versus $42.97 on Amazon.
Please test the winch on an impact driver or wrench to see what it is capable of. Don't hurt yourself, but just use it like you KNOW someone is going to do when their car is stuck in the mud or something.
