Video

sound got real quiet with the wind there for a bit..

Yeah I need to use the little mic with the fuzzy thingy on it when there's wind.

@supreme84x I did later. It will move sawdust, but nothing beyond a small amount of pea sized gravel on smooth surface.

Agreed, sometimes that right angle is tough to get to also. Sometimes you can't really get a lot of torque on a stubby hand tool.

@@patriciasummers8881 Thank you! I have been slacking on getting new videos out, but every time I get something like this, it emphasizes that I need to get things edited and out there.

@@ConquerorAR It's advertised as variable Speed 5,000 to 25,000 RPM.

Unfortunately they're not all exactly the same. Quality control on free tools aren't superior. 😊

It seems there are mixed reviews out there as they use multiple manufacturers and plants in different locations for different tools.

That's great! Thanks for adding that. I thought that would be exactly what this might be great for. It's no fun running those screws in by hand.

Agreed. A 12 volt in any brand has to be better for wood. These 4v tools are great for running screws in where it's simple, like threaded furniture assembly, or air vent installation. Easier than by hand.

That's odd. When Tested on Project Farm, the bits were mid good, but the adapters were among the better ones.

4ah HP battery. They last longer, but I don't see a power difference. I can't wait to see what the Edge batteries do.

There's a learning curve on doing that correctly. I definitely need sharpening stones.

Well spotted. That's what the channel is about, learning. I figured that out, but it took some practice.

I am sort of a beginner still, at least it feels like it. I'm curious about that. The paper carver, though seems like a very good tool for c9ntrolled detailed work. The ease of use is also very nice.

A little more came back to me after making this video. You are absolutely right. It's just practice.

I wish I'd had a DeWalt to test, but all of these were inexpensive, so that's one minor consolation.

@@JoeTheDIY it's exactly the same as you got but less bits and it's a max fit instead

You are absolutely right ✅️ Excellent choice!

@@JoeTheDIY I cut up a 6" hardwood tree branch with it using a warrior demo blade with inserted just to try it out. Holy smokes, this thing is a BEAST ! Didn't even drop a bar on the 5ah battery.

There's a lever in backs, and a fine tuner on the top side. I figured that out after reading instructions 😅

It has been on sale off and on like most of the 4v line. Timing is everything.

Your generosity of spirit is welcome. I wish there was a bit more grace since I'm rather new at producing content, so be kind. I will make sure to cite my sources and include photos in the future if possible. I do all of my own editing, so it takes a lot, and I do miss things. Also if something seems awkward I will cut it, and probably won't re-film if I'm pressed for time. That may make content seem incomplete at times. The "these are your weapons" issue was accurate. It was a sign, there was a photo, it was a real stamp on the tool according to one of my sources, and I will make sure to cite sources if I can in the description at some point. My dates may be slightly off, I will double check though and cite my sources. I was excited to have some vintage tools, and did some cursory research, and was excited about presenting what I found out. The history is fascinating. Thanks for the scrutiny.

Hi, Yeah, between the actual mechanics of producing a video and coming up with new, interesting and accurate content can't be easy. The initiative is admirable, but the flip side is that once something is put on the web lots of people automatically take it for gospel (they "researched" it LOL) and it's hard to undo the misinformation. That is the motor for my comments. Your vid is actually linked from a P&C tool collecting website that I would have thought the moderator of might have given you or at least the members a heads up as to the questionable content. I apologize for the lack of "grace". Good luck.

@troy5731 Thank you. Criticism is welcome. I do go through material quickly as I was a History major. It's easy to be tempted by a single source without confirmation, so I am happy to be held to account for not getting it right, but this interaction does highlight the need for proper citation and being thorough.

I think it might be a bit much, especially with the RPMs involved. Better to pull off one section/piece at a time, if possible, chemically strip, scrape, use a random orbital sander with a 220 grit paper, and re-mount each piece. That's super time consuming, but would cause the least damage.

You mean Hercules, or is there really a Hurricane brand? If there is, I'd like to see and compare one.

There is a separate set of drill bits that do have hex shanks. For most drill bits you'll need a regular drill chuck. There are adapters out there though.

Yes. The alcohol takes it off even when dry.

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you for knowing and finding that.

You can put one hand on the handle and the other on the ratchet direction changer and pull while wiggling. It'll come out and then you have to take a "c" clip off the end of the 1/4 inch extension. Then put the black direction changer back in the handle. You'll be able to change out the extensions after that.

@@SaltyMike396 Gotcha. That helps. The very end is still sticking out of the case as I look over on my bench. Haha

I would love to add that.

@@JoeTheDIY I have the Wiha VDE set and the XXL Wera set. Both are well engineered!

@@peterryan7340 Solid professional tools for sure. I can't wait to start pitting all of these against each other once the intro series gets into the testing phase.

Good question. I have used a charger for a cell phone, which works, and also a 30 watt charger, usually meant for a chrome book. They both work, but the 30 watt charger completes the charge a little more quickly. This makes me think that the battery itself limits the rate of charging.

@@JoeTheDIY ok, thanks for the information friend. ✌️😎

@@JoeTheDIY ok, thanks for the information friend. ✌️😎

So far it has worked great. I picked up knee pads, and they help me get into the right position on the creeper without too much effort.

Exactly! Nothing super high quality, but still versatile.

It went to the person who actually bought it. What you suggest, I'm sure people do, but it's unethical in my humble opinion. I can promise my community that I would never do that. To each their own.

That's great! What a great job! If you have a recommendation on a way to carry tools without a giant tool belt, please advise.

@@JoeTheDIY- Occidental makes a tool vest that many fork lift operators prefer over a tool belt.

@@kevola5739 I just looked that up. That's very nice. That's going on the list.

So cool! I'm glad you're here. More videos more often coming soon.

@@JoeTheDIY Thanks, good luck. I'll be watching.

Thank you for the great tip. I always appreciate new information.

@@JoeTheDIY i thought you said the tool wasnt yours, so i thought maybe you didnt want to scratch it up, or maybe you were returning it

@paulcarriveau1257 that's correct. I just didn't know, for myself that it is the better way to avoid vibration. I bought into Ryobi batteries, so I'll be getting that one, if any. I'm pretty happy with my two-handed ones, but that lower weight and convenience is nice.

@@JoeTheDIY love my atomic dewalt… dont even own a bigger one… im a union tinner… no real need u less you are demoing all day

@@Veau88 That sounds like a great job! Very 😎 cool.

Wow, I didn't know that at all Thank you!

Zero has them, and Amazon also carries them. STANLEY Pliers Set, Bi-Material, Mini Set, 6-Piece (84-079) a.co/d/hIKzzzD

@@JoeTheDIY Thank you …
