if your using impact you will cam out ... try the magnetic holders with a regular drill
Well I have an 'expensive' version of the chainsaw thing 50bucks and its steel with a little oil resve for the chain. A lot safer And actually works great for trimming a few branches
@@rocknrollguitar I have a steel one, with an aluminum blade guard, too. So handy.
That plastic thing he got might as well have a grim reaper emblem on it.

The thumbnail thing was nice but he got a sub from me for playing the advertisement with the video, not interrupting it.
When the janky Alibaba Drill Jigsaw adapter, is better than your legit black and decker jigsaw XD
That very well could be true
I have a Dewalt battery powered chainsaw and alibabas $11 adapter just put it to shame
â@@Fixthisbuildthat Try mating it to an electric impact driver!
â@@KevoM945 should I buy it bro???
@@catboi1188 why not but make sure you get one of them metal Knight Suits
60-odd years ago a LOT of those sorts of drill attachments were popular. My Grandfather had one electric drill, it also converted into a reasonably sized circular saw when you unscrewed the chuck (all 5/16" arbor) He used it to build a house, all hardwood framing too. And bunch of other attachments, including a jigsaw (before they had T-shank blades) which could also be fitted into a very small table, converting it into scroll saw.
@@bostonrailfan2427 likely went out due to safety standards increasing on products over the years. Big businesses donât want a lawsuit
@@bostonrailfan2427 Dremel is for really small work. I reckon those drill attachment sets disappeared due to two reasons: They weren't that convenient compared to separate tools, and all kinds of power tools eventually got more affordable even before the ultra cheap Chinese tools flooded the market. My father had one of the sets, which came in a really sturdy plywood box, kind of like a suitcase. He never used anything but the drill functionality and instead eventually accumulated a basic collection of the various ordinary tools as separate power tools.
My father had a Black and Decker kit that had similar attachments back in the 1970's. Average quality, okay for mild DIY.
I had one of those that also connected to a bench grinder. By Skil.
Electric motors were a lot more expensive back then.
The sheet cutter 17:30 was the only tool that had a bar to secure it to the handle.
All the other tools were 1 second away from being a spinning death machine.
The second line on your comment made me laugh till I choked!!!!!! And you are so right!!!! Junk from China is a waste of industrial fuel.
You used the dust collector backwards. Put the bigger end against what you're drilling into then put the bit through the hole and drill. The wide round base offers support and stability to the collector and the brush keeps the debris from exiting the collector as it travels towards the drill. I think you should reevaluate it. Otherwise I loved the video!
no he had it correct for that style design the brushes are to removes particles from drill into the cup you take apart, even so poorly design its as simple take a coke bottle cut the top to make a funnel drill a hole in cap put wide end to wall drill through cap into wall and the bottle neck catches the dust
Well at least someone got directions apparently.
I've bought the nibbler! We used it to cut out holes for recessed lights that were above a ceiling with plastic roof sheets (you know the corrugated ones you normally put on a patio. - we used those in our basement so that there was a ceiling but so that it was easy to take down if we needed access to junction boxes or pipes.) Worked great! - both the tool and the ceiling.
Ohhh, didn't think about it for plastic
@@robt2151 I'd imagine his is the same, that's why there were 2 different max depths
Soffit
I was recently flipping through a 1980s readers digest DIY book and it mentioned all these exotic drill attachments for when that might be your only power tool - funny how AB has circled back to that
Great video. Except I have to comment about the dust collector. I have had two of those (I lost the first one). In my country houses are built with brick and mortar. So when you are drilling for shelves or picture frames etc, you are using your hammer function with a masonry bit that generates a ton of dust. My dust collector has a rubber seal on the wide end of the cone. You put the bit through, line it up with the mark you made for the hole, then press the cone against the wall over the hole. ALL the dust ends up in the collector, thus working perfectly. The alternative is to hold a vacuum under the drill bit or a wet cloth, neither of which works as well as the dust collector. I think it's a great product.
Oh, interesting. Sounds like a better design
@Ken Fullman I get extra fancy and use an old envelopeand tape it to the wall with masking tape - fold the flap out of the way so you have a square edge. If you have the tape over the hole it stops the drill skipping when you start, and grabs the last bit of dust. It's usually sticky enough I can do a whole batch of holes with one piece & then throw all the dust away
As a Sheet Metal Worker I can confirm, the wobble is the best noise ever! đ
Change the title to - "If you have some spare organs, buy these tools..." Haha
đ đ
I love how I can only understand like half of what you say because I don't know what most of the tools or methods are called in my language, let alone in English, but I love your energy so I watch the videos anyway. it's always a fun time
Just a note EG... You will often hear Brad refer brad nails, as "me" nails. Watch for that
@@timothycreasy2161 ooohhhhhh now I get it đđđ I just thought it was some weird nails name in America
have you tried using the "auto-genersted" subtitles...you can usually pick from a list of languages to autotranslate...
Some of these tools remind me of the Black+Decker Matrix set of tools. I have one with a few attachments, it's come in very handy around the house. Definitely not a one tool to rule them all, but useful for small or quick jobs.
I have one of those too! I use the drill & impact attachment pretty regularly. I occasionally use the oscillating saw, too. Overall, it's been nice to have.
Love how you edited AD here and at the same time showed actual content! I can listen to ads any time like this!
This episode provided amazing comic relief. I canât imagine buying any of these but thank you for the laughs.
Who doesn't need a mini chainsaw drill đđđ
@@Jimmys_TheBestCop anybody who is fond of counting to 10. đđđ
Always entertaining watching your videos đđŒ
I have the nibbler, it works great for quick one off curved cuts on sheet metal. I keep it in my tool bag and comes in handy when I donât have dedicated sheet metal tools with me.
Yeah, don't buy them. Just laugh with me đ
The drill sharpener thing works alright if you're careful. It's incredibly easy to off center the bit though so it'll wander when you try to drill which is what it looks like happened. There are better ways to sharpen a bit though.
yeah. there's more to sharpening drill bits than i expected. i sat through a this old tony video. it wasn't anything like as entertaining as this but it did teach me a lot about sharpening drill bits and you are absolutely right about getting them to center!
I have one of those and it works great
he is clearly someone who hasn't sharpened a drillbit before.. he didn't even look where the cutting edge was he just put it in there and rotated lol
Honestly If you start trying to grind your drillbits the first thing you should have is a drillbit angle gauge.. but since he basically only works with wood it doesn't really matter.
Iâve sharpened around a hundred drill bits over time with just a grinder. With experience, you donât need anything else.
His drill is also in reverse, that's why is not doing good
I use a riveter attachment on my drill but I loved the Chainsaw of Death the most đ
Another rivet attachment user here.I have mild CTS so struggle with a manual riveter.
Lmao he had the drill in reverse when he used the circular saw and the sharpener đ
as a rule of thumb, you can trust chinese tools for metal/concrete working more than the ones for woodworking. It is a cultural thing, as our countries are more used to build with those materials in general. For example: the dust extractor doesn't seem than cool at first glance, but if you use it on a concrete/sheetrock wall that would make a lot of difference...
Interesting observation and makes a lot of sense
â@@FixthisbuildthatI haven't a clue on what he mean ???
â@@williamreilly5469 I don't know if you are trying to disagree with that statement or if it was just unclear, but, to rephrase -- OP is saying that it's more common to work with metal/concrete in China [than wood], so the quality and reliability of those tools are often better because of the need/demand for tools used in metal and concrete work.
@@williamreilly5469 That it works good on concrete and sheetrock.
This may be the funniest "woodworking" video I've ever seen. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Excellent episode. Love that it moves quickly and doesnât bog down with meaningless dialog.
Harbor Freight is looking pretty high end right now...
đ đ They should compare against these
The magnetic screw holder is meant to be used when you don't have a free hand to gold a screw. Then you only use to get the screw screwed in but set in. That's why you were stripping the screw heads. Many times I would drop the screw just as I was about to start the drill driver.
If he used a decent cordless screwdriver or drill, he could have reduced the pressure to avoid stripping threads on the screws.
You need to get a screw holder sleeve.đ
The nibbler, the pop rivot tool and the jigsaw would probably be the tools I'd get maybe the metal sheer tool. But nibbler looked the best imo
The circular saw reminds me of that type of attachment for the Black & Decker Matrix. I love that set. Got the reciprocating saw attachment, router attachment, jigsaw attachment, oscillating tool attachment, sanding attachment, hammer drill attachment, impact driver attachment, etc. They used to have a tire inflation one as well as some weed trimming stuff but I never got those. I do have a problem with the circular saw because my hands aren't strong enough to hold down the safety buttons for me to get it to work.
Over a decade ago I was trying to drill through 1/4" lauan with a wood drill bit from harbor freight. Mofo would not go through and eventually bent. I then remembered that my late father left an entire massive 134 bit Chicago brand kit. So I grabbed a bit from that kit and it went through like a hot knife through butter. I think some bits are just made of crap metal.
I'm not sure which one I like the most. LOL.
Try running the sharpener with the drill in reverse, in "loosen screws" mode. It might be that the sander drum is turning the wrong way and actually dulling your drill bit.
I already have the sheet metal nibbler but haven't had the need to try it out yet, so pleased to see you gave it a thumbs up!
I like the pop rivet drill attachment. The rest would be safer just to use the right tool. đđ» Nice Vid đđ»
The Drill chainsaw is a nice idea, but think it needs to be redesigned abit for safety and perhaps bit more sturdy.
Several comments here, Brad. My dad had a circular saw attachment like that about 50 years ago - I think it was a Craftsman. I don't know what ever happened to it. Makita has a magnet like that. I slide it further up my driver bits and have great visibility. The drill sharpener didn't work because it didn't put a back bevel on the tip. I currently have an older Craftsman jig saw with a swivel head - no need for the attachment. I'm definitely not buying any of these. I like to buy quality over price especially when safety is involved.
Bill
Couldn't agree more đ
I have air nibblers, they are very handy for cutting circles in the middle of a sheet, on the edge I'd use something else. Downside is they make a million chips to clean up, also can be hard to stay on your line. Takes some prartice because they move pretty quick.
I had pretty good luck with an equivalent nibbler from Amazon, especially considering the half-cocked way I was using it. They make a sort of cradle for table-mounting the nibbler, so I used one of those plus a right-angle drill adapter to set the thing up on my drill press. Using a simple jig to rotate sheet metal in place on the drill press table, I was able to nibble out a pretty good disc of 16-gauge steel. That's just about the nibbler's max thickness, so it was pretty prone to jamming if the sheet wasn't fed in just right, but overall it worked better than I had any right to expect.
The drill bit duller was the best tool by far. It worked perfectly. đ Since the nibbler had 2 ends the other end probably takes square bites which would work great if you needed a hole with square corners, like when I put a stereo in my van that came without a radio, a really long time ago. You just drill a hole in the metal dash, then nibble away until you have a stereo size rectangle. A power nibbler is way better than a manual nibbler. Don't ask me how I know. You get tired of squeezing the handle on the manual nibbler before the hole is finished.
Use the circular saw attachment to build a mini table saw for crafting. A corded drill would probably have more power, but a different set up could use a designated motor for it.
Great video !! I really hope you do more of these, because we all see the ads and claims, but never really know if there's a hidden gem out there. Well, YOU find out !
the drill bit sharpener, blunting your drill bit, suggests you may need to reverse your drill direction. ??
I think it suggests he's goofy.
I have one of those plastic drill bit sharpeners and it works fine... if you have sharpened bits and understand the geometry.
Many people can't understand drill bits. Being able to put an edge on a broken drill bit is an advantage; shorter drills are less likely to break.
Dunno if anyone else has mentioned it but the reservoir on the jigsaw is for masonry blades. It's basically a combo wet saw and jigsaw.
Great video - thanks. About the jig saw. I liked that it doesn't have a lot of motor down by the blade. Means that it can cut in tight areas better than my traditional designed jig saw.
Your videos are always so fun and interesting! Not buying any of them but the metal shears were the best in MNSHO
The chainsaw insert actually works! I made som small adjustment to it added some chims and It cut five full size pallets in to pieces in no time. Keeping the chain lubricated is the trick, for your own safety do not saw with a dry chain, it will heat up and jam and do check its tension regulary. A dangerous thing it is but in experinced hands it is a pretty handy tool for smaller jobs.
Those were some fun ones, Brad. The M12 Surge you were using is my favorite power tool - glad you're liking it too. Also, I bought that same drill jig saw on Ali Express a few months back and haven't opened it yet! Glad to see you test that thing out. Great video, brother!
yeah, Nils, the M12 surge is my fave for sure!
I had been tempted by the nibbler in the past- I might get that and the shear now!
I really like the sheet metal cutter, seriously considering getting one. I don't cut sheet metal often, but when I do I gotta use my hand shears or an angle grinder cause I got nothing else available. I'd say for that price it's worth a shot
I got a different one from Amazon. Had a circle jig. Was $25âish. Amazing for HVAC and even some auto stuff.
I'm SO glad you tested the sheet metal cutter for the drill. I keep looking at this but I'd love to know if it will cut corrugated metal roofing easier. Can you try it for me ? :)
This is a top tier thumbnail đ
Thanks! đ
Dude, you didn't give yourself enough credit. That was an awesome display of nibbling prowess!
The drill bit sharpener I bought a few years back it was garbage
Larry, it was the worst!
The riveter is much better when you mount a DIY bracket which allows one hand operation. The bracket goes arround the riveter body and has two arms which goes to the right and left side above the trigger of the drill housing ; )
I think you are supposed to use the dust collector the other way around. I have a cheaper version of it and it does a good job
Bought to bit sharpener at HF. With a little time and attention to detail, it does great.
the hand part for the drill saw is an easy fix, but yeah that thing looks like it would be awesome attachment.
Mini chain saw rocks! By far, my favorite.
I think you were a bit harsh on the chainsaw attachment. It does exactly what it says it does and it is no more dangerous than a real chainsaw! I think I might buy one, it looks fun. It would be good for carving!
The shear attachment was awesome
One note about the drill sharpener-
When you tried to actually drill with the sharpened bit you had it in reverse.
I want the nibbler and the riveter, they look super handy for my budget friendly scrap heap of a work shop đ
The magnetic tip. At work I have to use a lot of screws, I just place strong magnet above the tip, it makes a difference and helps with work.
I'd probably buy the jigsaw adapter because I very rarely need to use a jigsaw. But the few times that I do, that would do the job.
The resivoir on the jigsaw tool would be handy if you were using it to cut tile or concrete is my guess. A little water lube for the abrasives
Can put any type of magnet on your screwdriver tip attachment. It'll magnetize the whole rod and don't have to put it on the end to where you can't see like mentioned.
Just want to binge watch the progress, but to addicted to watching the vids as they come out. Top content!
I've got a heavily wooded yard, so the chain saw attachment is the one for me!
Thanks for a fun video.
I do have a drill/circular saw attachment. It's from the 1950s it is in almost new condition, probably because it isn't very practical to use and drills seem too slow.
An uncle gave it to me because I always liked it. It is very well built all metal and looks cool on the 'cool but useless tool display shelf'
Iâve certainly thought about some of those. Iâve also thought about the water pump drill attachment. Might want to wear a work glove with that chain saw.
NEVER use gloves with spinning blade powertools! If it catches, it drags your whole hand into the blade.
Absolutely practical, functional and beautiful.
The drill bit sharpener is available from harbor freight lol and itâs cheaper đ. I bought it and had to modify it also. You have to put the bit in the proper slot for the size
Back when I started working with sheet metal, I came home with bloody hands a lot. Not to mention the bending and warping you get from shears. Idk if'd I'd buy it but I'll keep that on the back burner for maybe one day.
I have a Black and decker matrix system. It has drill, impact, jigsaw, and router. All works good
7:28 Sounds like the foley sound for Flubber in the OLD movie "The Absent Minded Professor".
I kinda wanting to check out the sheet metal shears, the jig saw, and the bit sharpener. Maybe also the riveter
I really want to see if those plate shears will cut across corrugated metal roofing. If so, Those would be my favorite!
Had a great time watching you have a great time. Thanks
love the sunday offer. Can your imagine that in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s? Glad to be in the 2020s!
My favorite was the drill bit sharpener. Nothing says waste of money like taking a perfectly fine drill bit and making it not work. This video was hysterical! Thanks for saving me some money. đ to you.
Yes, they should call it a drill bit destroyer đđ
User error. You don't rotate the bit as you grind, , making a cone at the tip. Who grinds the cone, dies by the cone.
I appreciate that the one on the thumb was the first one showed.
This was great Brad! Lot of laughs! I'd probably consider the metal shear kind of attachment. Seems a heck of a lot faster than tin snips.
the set screws in the head of the nibbler allow you to set the direction of the cutting head, so it cuts in your chosen direction, loosen the set screw with one end of the included tool, set the angle with the other end, I have one side set for straight and left curves, the other side set for straight and right curves
pop the circlip and fill the gearbox with grease every couple of hours
I have done 16 steel roofs -around chimneys, around vent stacks, skylights, with mine, steel and roll aluminium flashing
haven't worn it out yet.
also have a makita nibbler, which I have come to dislike for being corded
and an astro, that needs an air line
all use the same cutter pin and anvils, assuming they are all made by the same company and brand-named
Oh, good to know!
I had a similar one, lasted about 3 feet of nibbling, then the disk that holds the ram broke so the ram came out and wouldn't go back in. Highly variable quality.
I've probably used the word "hoaky" twice in my lifetime, but it instantly came to mind when watching this video. Some of the packaging reminded me of items for sale at a failing mom & pop hardware store in the 80's.
Try âhokeyâ
Putting your ad in the video window while you assemble the tool is brilliant.
Definitely not the only one who breaks or loses bits before they go dull.
Guilty.
I CAN'T SEEM to get a manual pop Riveter to work. (arthritis pain) So I'm thrilled to see this work
along with a few others that past muster.
Absolutely brilliant ad read method.
I think the nibbler and jig saw attachments are the things I'd most likely buy. Don't know that I will, buy any of them, but, if I did the nibbler would be the most likely one.
Thank you for reviewing the chainsaw drill attachment from the thumbnail in the beginning of the video. A lot of CZcamsrs can learn something from you.
Bro! Can you wear some oven mitts or SOMETHING?!!
lol. For real though, don't ever wear gloves while operating anything that spins and cuts. I had a boss almost lose his thumb that way!
So far my favorite tool is the orange chop saw at 19:24 and I would grab one if I could afford it!
Only tool worth getting maybe the mini jig saw.I can see this useful for hobbyists cutting thin plywood for intricate shapes.
Your enthusiasm is the most interesting part.
I tried the drill bit sharpener. I saw how if you had 2 extra hands, a vise, and a bottle of whiskey it wouldn't matter if the thing worked!
When you said nibler instead of dimpler I was tempted to say they make one and shears too. But I was glad I watched longer. đ€Łđ€Ł
I loved the chainsaw and circular, can't go wrong with fast blades an inch away from your digits
Good video Brad, I watched the whole thing. In theory their tools are better for metal or concrete work so I wasnât surprised most of the woodworking ones were duds. Plus you get what you pay for. đ
i have the nibbler for a few years now, i used it a lot. i even built a table for it, so i can nibble in a straight line easier.
i just bought the chainsaw about 2 weeks ago, was planning on using it soon.
the riviter i also have for a few years, and i even used it at work a few times.
Thank You! Ordered the rivet gun!
I'm glad you still have thumbs to use to rate the products - at the start I wasn't quite sure.
When "thumbs down" means: "you might actually lose a thumb using this tool"
lol I knew you would like that nibbler. I got one a while back off Amazon and it's amazing.
the double nibler, is two niblers, when one is worn out, just change the handle to the worn out , and now you have the fresh one ready, spareparts can be bought
Metal cutting tools last a lot longer if you oil them. But I know no one does that.
The second side of the "double nibbler" was probably for the different thicknesses, 1.2mm and 1.8mm
