11:16 Not sure how correct it is, but I've read that they have to slide a bit on the floor because it prevents your wheels from skipping over the ramp once it hits the wall. So it's more like a feature, not a bug.
Thanks simple easy video that isn’t an unfocused autobiographical nonsense 😅
Good video, thanks for posting this, just heard some of the new Rhino Ramps collapsing with vehicles less than the max weight. Maybe user error by driving over or off center. Though use of jacks with this would be safer.
great video as i said before and i went out and bought one but now i can't get it to strip this stranded wire.
Very good review! Thanks. I’m still torn between the 6800 and 6900 though. I’m 6.2 (1.88m)
Thanks. Yes, it can be a tough choice for taller people.
I just bought this, thanks for making such a great video!
@@lisalancaster4419 Hope it works well for you. Thanks for checking out the video!
I have to do the same thing to mine. I have the parts. Wish me luck.
Nice job
Thanks!
Roger that I have it!
I think the sliding is intentional. If it slides you aren't going to roll over the top when you reach the back stop. If you give it too much gas and the ramp remains stationary you're going to roll over the stop.
I tend to believe that the sliding is not intentional, and it's more of an issue on smoother surfaces; the prior version's foot had much better grip. I'd worry about property damage if I had a short runway. As you may have seen, the sliding was eliminated when I tucked the ramps under the tires.
That was exceptional quality work! Well done!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Hello, just wondering, I have a newer craftsman ( same thing) Does the rebuild kit come with a piston ring ( or O-ring) that is replaceable? Reason I ask is because mine was leaking when it was at a certain piston stroke position. I was able to fix it but not sure how long it will last. I ended up putting Vaseline on the inside of the piston wall and it seems to have fixed it for at least now.
The kit is included in the video's description. It doesn't include any internal seals or o-rings.
Its easier to bend the lever of the handle safety switch
What is the cc rating for each
I'm not sure. I know the Ryobi works with a wide variety of gas trimmers.
Put rubber mats under the ramps, they grip better on concrete
I really appreciate the thoroughness of your review and demonstrating the ramp usage. Thank you for making this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks for watching!
Please give me the part number to the parts you used to repair your compressor.
Please see the video's description. Thanks.
thank you so much! i pulled one of these from the trash, including batteries! now it works🙌
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Yours is the most informative video on this tool I've watched. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Would this work with cement board
It should work. I would be careful with the depth setting for cement board and follow the board manufacturer's instructions.
So good to see you’ve pulled through all those hardships. 🙏
Thanks. Very strange stuff, but others have it far worse.
Well done, thank You
Thanks for watching!
Hi, did HYDROBAN liquid membrane sticked good to sealant ?
Yes, it adhered fine.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching the video!
Thank you so much for the detailed Scenarios. I watched all of them and of course only one of them applies, but I know what to do now. So appreciate your help!!!
Glad it was useful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the great video. Quick and simple, straight to the point. Just got one today and it came with a few blades, I wanted to swap immediately.
Hope you enjoy the saw. Thanks for watching!
Rhino ramps have worked well for me for 25 years. However, you never know so I use jacks stands as well. Out of the many ways you can die, being crushed would be one of those right up there in terms of ways I prefer not to go.
very useful video
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
Nice video! I have the Porter Cable with the same issue. I’m going to give this a shot.
Hope it fixes your issue. Thanks for checking out the video!
you deserve way more subscribers thank you for the video
Thanks!
So helpful! Love your attention to details. Looks great and a beautiful color!
Thanks! I was happy with how this porch turned out. More importantly, it still looks good two years later.
Very clear, complete descriptions. Thanks!
Thanks for watching the video!
Great video! I just blew out my senco palm nailer. I've had it since the 90s. I bought it for a job and haven't used it since, until a few days ago. When i plugged it in, it was leaking air like crazy. Then I used it and the leak stopped. Then, about an hour ago, it quit working. That's why I'm here. Shopping for O-rings on Amazon is like trying to find a contact lens in a bowl of contact lenses, isnt it? ..and sometimes you must buy many to get one. I dont mind having the extras, but i was buying some for a couple fire extinguishers. When i was finally able to find the right size to seal the connection at the pressure gage, I had to get a pack of 200.. lol they, and the 10 of the ones that seal the neck were still way cheaper than buying fire extinguisher rebuild kits.
Thanks! It took some time to find the o-rings I needed.
@DIYApprentice thanks for your reply. I wanted to let you know that I was able to get mine working again. It was simple. I'm using it with a 4,500psi SCBA tank. All I had to do was refill the tank🙄😬😐 ..lol yea. I ran out of air ..duhhh
I have them in orange. The bad thing is that those automatic wire stripping pliers are very delicate; once they fall to the ground, the tool can be damaged. Good explanation
I haven't dropped the tool yet, but I'll keep what you stated in mind. Thanks for checking out the video!
Be a good mask for pool chemicals ?
I would think it can handle pool chemicals; 3M's website should have info on cartridge selection. I've used it without issue to spray solvent-based automotive paints.
Thanks
Great review
What?? You NEVER use drywall behind tile, they haven't used drywall behind tile for many years.
If you're referring to the DensShield, it's not the typical drywall/gypsum board. It's specifically made for tiling, and it includes a water-resistant coating on its face and a fiberglass backing.
My rhino ramps keep sliding forward when I’m moving up on them. My garage floor might be too slick
Yeah, these ramps don't have the best grip.
The soldering is super well done. I'd wire nut and run!
Lol. Thanks.
I’ve got the exact same compressor. I need to get a boroscope and take a look inside mine. I’m afraid to run it up to full pressure right now. Thanks for the video!
Yes, it was a relief to see that the tank is in decent shape.
Nice clean work... I would have applied some adhesive seal like Laticrete Hydo Ban to the edges of the cement board facing the window.
I’ll be installing one shortly and I learned a few tricks. Thanks for posting!
Hope your installation goes well. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good vid. A 4x8 sheet is now $38.😢
😮
Good thing you changed the brushes on that $35 tool! Saved you big money
Haha...it makes me sad to throw away a tool that has life left in it. It's less to do with money than with being a steward of your tools.
Too many Rhono ramps have broken or split in half. Seen it a bunch of times.
I've read some of the stories, but I've never experienced it. I included a warning in the video's description.
I use these same ramps. Just sayin.@@DIYApprentice
One of the blades would not spin. The mower would start but then shut off because I assumed that the stuck blade would not allow it to stay on. I turned the mower on its side and sprayed the blade and on cooper section of the motor which is visible if you turn it over with WD40. The blade spins great but now the mower won't even start up. Did I mess up the motor by spraying it or oversaturating it with wd40?
It's possible that the WD-40 is causing contact issues. I would consider using 91% alcohol or electronic cleaner and some q-tips to clean the motor.
@@DIYApprentice thanks for the advice
so unless you were 6ft 5" don't buy tge 6900? are you sure? the straps are adjustable to the head
The heights mentioned are just a guideline. Of course, some shorter individuals have larger heads. Even though the straps are adjustable, the mask will not seal correctly against the face if it's too large.
what if your a midget? @@DIYApprentice
Thank you for this. I forgot about the lever
