Fellaz

Cordless grinder
More specifically dewalt 20v brushless

Worth it?
or not?

And reviews of other brands are welcome in terms of run time and power (or lack off)

never tried any as yet as d corded versions are now so dog cheap avg $400 & d battery 1s like 4-5 times d price ... obviously run time of any batt tool will be better with a higher AH rating batt which adds to expense & weight of d tool too

[pugboy]

i have one and it’s convenient when i go to buy few lengths of steel to cut in half

I understand what u saying, but convenience of no cord always wins for me

Its just for general use, a lil cup brushing, cut some steel, grind some stuff, flap discs
Kinda all purpose

cordless is d bess. dewalt have a 20V for d small tools and a 60V system for d big garden tools like wacker n chainsaw.
but for angle grinder n the circle saw d man in the store had tell me dem ting yuh want to buy the big 10amph battery and nuh d 1.7Ah

d small 20V is really for d small tools like d drill n flash light laser....he say dem bigger tools pull rel power and it go still work wid d small 20V buh it go slow down and ded faster.

so when i check d price on d big battery ah put it down and leave and went n take out ah mortgage on d galvanize shack.

[pugboy]

the 20v works very good, on par with milwaukee 18v

you need a battery at least 4ah to do the heavy stuff
the little ones 2ah dont cut it

Yea
I got 2x 5Ah for the drill and big impact wrench

if cost is not an issue then go it, if u already have batts in other dewalt tools then u can jes buy d bare tool or get a deal with a batt\tool combo same time ...

Yes

Thats the plan, i usually just buy bare tools now cuz i cant use all the tools at the same time
Lol

How allyuh fellas does clean and maintain drill bits and other metal tools? Honestly drill bits is something I never take on. Yesterday I realize how heavy the rust is on some of the sds bits.

Googled solutions and ended up soaking them in baking soda and vinegar for a few hours.

Rust melt right off yes.

Wiped them down and gave them a dip in new engine oil for storage onto a cloth.

Would post up a pic of the comparison later . It really work amazing

[Chimera]

This is a file and a mini auger that I only soaked the bottom half in the vinegar and baking soda

[Chimera]

All these bits had some heavy rust on them before

Typically, i wipe with a dry paper towel and apply a light coat of penetrating oil with another before storage. All my bits look unused.....lol

I used vingear on some tools i found while cleaning out a store room.
Worked great.
I oiled all the stuff when they dried and they in good condition after almost 5 years

[Chimera]

I never take it on much because by the time workers done with bits I doesn't find them back and does always end up buying new if need be

But the last 2 years I stop doing camera jobs so these bits just in a tool bag rusting.

[Rovin]

wonder rust remover & pass d tools on a benchtop grinder that has a wire wheel, then i spray with wd40 ..

[Chimera]

try the vinegar and baking soda

cheaper, easier

wonder/wonda expensive

[Kenjo]

Excellent piece of advice

[Rovin]

well what happen is every now\then whenever we do some work we buy 1 or 2 1 liters so always have a few bottles around, a little goes a long way, it remains stable in d bottles for yrsss & imo its not that expensive

we also have 1 or 2 bottles of CHRISTLE brand rust remover [same company who makes d pvc glue] which works good too & somehow i find its not as toxic looking\smelling as wonder ...

Have a few things that the baking soda vinegar not doing the job.

Wonder expensive though.$58 for a liter.

Vinegar is $20 a gallon and baking soda is $10. A box.


Vinegar and baking soda for most things.

Wonder and others only when necessary. Also it seems there's a big shortage of 3m/ scotch outdoor mounting tape

[Chimera]

Can I use this to paint this stove? Any reason not to use this specific product

[bamfo_dennis]

i do dat already but with a spray paint. only where d fire was direct touching for long it get black n burn up. dat engine enamel looking good for dis job tho.
get ah box of toothpick n stick dem hole before u spray. n clog all d intake with cotton soak in ah lil oil.

i went bhagwansingh chag to buy the rustoleum because i know i see it in bhagwansingh piarco branch a while back

turns out that bhagwansingh chaguanas branch only sells the Krylon brand of products

Piarco sells the Rustoleum line
