[@localeightironworker]

we use the belt sander/dynafile setup like those to smooth out welded handrail joints. i wonder how that skinny belt would do compared to the 1" one the dynafile has on it. if you use a flap disc or grinder disc on the handrail, you "stopsign" the tube and you'll feel it in your hand even after painting the joint.

[@ensidfkgnur]

Subjective, maybe, but the rust and paint removal demonstrations were extremely helpful for anyone considering a big job! You might be able to finish a job with any of those products but could save hours and money by using the right one. Another valuable resource from Project Farm. This video feels like I got 2 for 1! Great content, as always!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@thisiswaytoocomplicated]

No, these demonstrations were just dangerous. You don't use wire brushes at that angle. Sooner than than later that will spit out wire fragments and hurt somebody. That was only demonstrating how to lose an eye. This was just how to not do it.

As a former seafarer when doing rust we use a jet chisel(pneumatic) to remove the first layer of rust then followed up with the cup brush for a nice semi clean finish for the first primer for ship maintenance And yes thick clothing, gloves, respirator, and face shield are a must regardles of what angle the cup brushes go it will still fling wires

[@johngallagher1905]

[@nickbrutanna9973]

With the rust removal, it looks like two or more passes with different wire brushes. Use the one that did well getting into the pits (fire?), but poorer one the general removal, then do a pass with the one that did a great job but did not get into the pits (thick?).

Many factories I do work in have banned all wire brushes because of too many people picking broken wires out of body parts. Somewhere on the internet is at least one close-up photo of a wire sticking out of someone's eyeball and that is the one thing which finally got me to be super diligent with eye protection rather than a bit lazy at times. As always, great tests. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up on this one because it is sort of 2 different videos in one.

I had no idea these attachment tools were available. Some do look sketchy, but a couple looked pretty good. The comparison with the rust and paint removal discs/cups was great. Sometimes speed is important, while other times not damaging the old surface matters more. Great test! I learn so much from these videos!

@@SpencerHHO Eh, he doesn't do much (or sometimes any) research into what he says, so his advice is HIGHLY subjective/opinion based. For example he flat out said he wouldn't recommend anyone use dual sensor smoke alarms because he didn't know if they'd wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. All he had to do was make a simple and quick phone call to FirstAlert or Kidde and ask them, and he'd have learned that no they don't stupidly wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. Or, you know, do a 5 second google search.

That finger sander attachment has a whole world of uses. I found one at harbor freight about 25 years ago and put it on an air grinder.

While it would be a good video and informative. I afraid that with all the keyboard warriors and basement dwellers out here in Everyone's Tube land all the "your doing it wrong" "I would never do it like that" "I am a professional and that will never last" and every other BS comment you could think of would fill up the comment section. I see videos from professionals that are masters in their chosen field. They post something they are doing and holy crap, half of the comments are from some wingnut that still lives in his mommas basement but feels the need to tell him or her what they are doing wrong. They normally stay away from his testing channel because it involves working with a tool. Most of them couldn't find the power switch or even operate it so they stay away.

I have it and love it! Mounted to milwaukee fuel m18 grinder, it spins that chain at >8000 rpm vs the dedicated chainsaw's 6000rpm. Guess which gets more done faster? 😎Gotta not be stupid with a chainsaw regardless of the design, and it needs light oil to stay lubricated, but what a HOG!

[@Tulip23232]

I definitely enjoy this kind of "other" content that you polled us for! As a younger viewer I actually really enjoyed seeing the attachments and their applications in real life work scenarios. My personal favorite from this video must be the belt sander attachment. The pipe one I had no idea such a thing even existed, but the belt sander itself is nice for the people who don't want to buy a large tool that they'd use 2-3 times a year and prefer a cheaper and more compact version of it instead. It somehow gets a good job done too, nice find! Also that final test really opened my eyes as to *just how much* the paint coating can help against rust. Educational and fun at the same time, I really like these gadget reviews. If you could test some random vacuum cleaner attachments (either regular vac or shop vac) I think it would make a pretty interesting video as well. I don't know if there's various attachments but considering my new vacuum cleaner came with about 4-5 attachments, I believe that there should be random misc. attachments out on the market as well? Anyways, whether you decide to continue making these or not - We enjoy this content too and like I said, I personally loved seeing the things get put to real work tests so I can understand what the tool is used for way better. Have a nice day/evening Todd, and thank you for the dedication to this channel!

[@troyboyd7984]

My freind I completely agree. He recently liked a comment of mine where I recommended he do house appliances. Specifically I want to know if some of the claims and different tools associated with consumer vaccumes/carpet shampooers are true or not. I have had very mixed results all across the price ranges on these two items. I also agree about that belt sander. What a real find!

[@legionofanon]

There are definitely accessory kits for vacuums, biggest issue is having a vacuum with a house size that will fit the attachments. I found a bunch on Amazon, and i think the one i ended up buying was a car cleaning kit for a vacuum with a 2 inch house

I read somewhere that electric chain saws should use winter weight chain lube year round. It's thinner and more able to pass through the smaller oiler port(s). In addition, the oil sample that came with my electric saw did seem thinner than the regular stuff.

[@Chamdar17]

^This. Using light weight oil lets it load into the chain. The oiler cap is easily lost so you'll need to make a replacement cork at some point, but using light oil or cutting the oil you have will get the job done!

That was a fun and useful video! Those narrow "finger" belt sanders are invaluable for sanding the weld down on the inside of square tube so one will slide inside another. And I love the one that sands the outside of round tube, I'd happily buy an extra HF angle grinder and dedicate it to that.

[@Wil_Liam1]

The outside grinder is also great for regrinding cams,or changing a camshaft lobes profile for higher lift(by removing however many thousandths from the non lobe side),to changing duration(by removing top of the lobe slightly for longer,or both sides,making profile steeper,and the bottom non lobe side and adjusting valves appropriately) as long as one doesn't sand or grind beyond the hardening..

[@lanedexter6303]

Very interesting! Both belt sanders surprised me. I have an old seldom used Dynabrade Dynafile. The small belt sander would do its job for occasional use.

Congrats on 3Mil subs! You deserve it! That being said, the two belt sander attachments seem like clear winners. When you unpacked the first, I would never have thought of turning an angle grinder into a dynafile, but that's a terrific add on if it works on your grinder. It probably shines best deburring or shaping metal over wood. Dynafiles are terrific tools for more precise work and spot work on materials like metal and lexan in my experience. That belt sander was perfect for the tube though as well. Tubes are always a pain to get sanded just right and someone thought that one out.

First of all, thank you! Your videos help me find tools, utilities, etc. that last and are reliable. Secondly, I'd also like to let you know that some of your older comparisons 'may' need updating (Rechargeable Batteries for example) that is the major downside to making videos about anything technology/maintenance/media/etc. Side note: I have made a very early concept for a Cobalt Drill battery -> Milwaukee Drill converter.

I's always amaze me the analytical approach for every test design (by taking into account as much as variables possible) to be as relevant as possible. I would love to see regular (electrical, not battery powered) orbital sander comparison, especially in the 150 mm league. Lots of choices out there , but it is really hard to decide and when it comes to long hours of use it's even harder.

If you have a variable speed angle grinder (you should, they are awesome) then a drill chuck is a great accessory. Not really all that useful for drilling but it allows you to fit all kinds of spindle based attachments to your AG that you wouldn't normally be able to use.

The belt sander attachments are actually pretty rad! If they made an extra thin version it would be great for removing spot welds. Congrats on 3M subs!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

[@motomallen]

Thank you Todd, your advice is invaluable when I'm purchasing power and hand tools.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

I can't wait to watch this. I seen a few but the sander and the hedge clipper didn't look bad. I would be afraid to try some of the others.

[@brandocommando4459]

Wow this video was amazing! Thanks for posting

[@ProjectFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sjackson2369]

Sketchy attachments are always a blast. Have you ever done a video on hedge trimmers? Another option for that rust removal test might be those surface prep tools where the abrasive is shaped like a drum

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@stevenvanheel3932]

The little belt sanders like the one you have are essential to my automotive shop. I use them constantly for different things but I most commonly use them for cleaning rust off of brake caliper brackets during brake jobs. A good brand name air powered one is $650!

As usual great video! You answered a lot questions I had on these miracle attachments.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

[@KyleClements]

What excellent timing! I just picked up a variable speed angle grinder and have been looking into unconventional attachments. I've been enjoying my diamond grinder for flattening concrete. I bought that same red wire brush set! Holds up very well for debarking wood. I had no idea half these attachments existed. Thanks for providing these demonstrations.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Even If you have very good Health Insurance I would not buy any of the angle grinder attachments even the belt sander was a POS .. An angle grinder is only used for light to medium duty work not to be used as a Chainsaw or a HD paint stripper

[@David..]

Unconventional attachments on angle grinders are a great way to lose your fingers. I know guys that use angle grinders daily so plenty of experience with a fairly dangerous tool and none of them use those attachments.

[@harisjaved1379]

Thank you Todd! Excited to see this my friend!

[@ProjectFarm]

You bet!

[@mgrice1981]

Great video as usual thanks for the info and effort you put into these.

[@AdHocAtom]

My favorite is when I just bought something for a job after I've looked into it a ton, then you test it and I see I made the right choice.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewmiller6068]

I don't know if I'd consider a flap disc to be an accessory the same way most of the rest of those were... But a flap disc to sharpen lawn mower blades was a game changer over any other method I've used

[@reverse_engineered]

I think he was basically putting together two sort-of related things into one because neither was large enough on its own to be a separate video.

[@petej.8676]

Im always skeptical about attachments. I think that there is a reason for dedicated tools for a certain job. ✌️ -Best shop towel-

Great point!

Should've saved this one for Halloween! Also was waiting to see the 10-1/4 circular saw blade attached directly to the angle grinder with the guard removed and attached to a pole with zip ties or hose clamps.

[@manbunmyname5866]

I milled out the center of a 5" carbide tip circular saw blade to use on a cordless grinder, it works awesome. Cuts 5/16 aluminum like it's butter. Didn't believe it would work until I tried it. Also got a 5" disc with chainsaw chain attatched, does wonders on wood carving. Both of them are darwin award keys.

[@timex987987_jj3_studios]

I'd love to see what the best head gasket sealer is! I've seen a lot of testimony on both sides of the aisle, and I'm on the fence. Having you test them out would greatly help!

I think Chris fix did that was pretty good

Another excellent informative video. I'm glad with my choice on rust reformer. And I'll definitely switch out to the less harmful option for paint removal.

Can you do a video on the best gutter cleaning method (pressure washer vs. wet/dry vac vs. leaf blower) and what attachment works best? Thanks! Your channel is my go-to for these kind of things!

I did not know you could use flap disc on rust! That would have saved me a lot of time instead of using rust remover! I’ll keep that inmind!

[@jong2359]

....what? You didn't know you could use an abrasive on rust? That is like owning a car and not knowing what the key does.

[@tretre1692]

@@jong2359 figured it’d take out too much material, i used acid and wire cup

[@gthaley_81]

The belt sander attachment is actually based on a tool that already exists (literally a belt sander that is built on an angle grinder frame, available from Harbor Freight, Eastwood, and some others) but with the added benefit of being removable and not needing to take up all the space of a separate tool. Having used them ( we have a couple), I could also see the benefit of being able to hook it up to a more powerful angle grinder. For some reason, that drill adapter made me think of the "drill" Jaime made on Mythbusters out of a vacuum motor, a drill bit, and electrical tape. Another great video. 👍

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@jeanpaulcomeau8131]

Simply brilliant. Well done . As usual , thumbs up

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@DoctorMangler]

This was fun to watch, glad you didn't get hurt. I've seen a few horrible and potentially deadly accidents with some disc blades. One had a chain saw type blade and it got away from a fella due to kickback and climbed up his shirt and attacked his face and neck before he got it shut off. Definitely possibly deadly, and he now looks like Frankenstein.

How good is Rotella for motorcycles

[@ProjectFarm]

Great suggestion! Thank you

[@otarsulava]

My Ninja 300 can take it, as it has meets JASO standart, But I stick with Castrol Actevo 10W40 , even cheaper than Rotella T6, case of 6 bottles usually goes around 37$. Again, I would recommend the oil what actually your bike takes... ✌️

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for sharing.

[@hardlyb]

Your experience with the various kinds of wheels matches mine. I find the paint stripper wheels are the best for removing rust on certain shapes, but they do wear out fast. I've never found much difference between the brands, so I just get whatever is cheapest. I'll have to try the scouring pads, but I think I'll pass on the various attachments. Thanks for another great video.
