BOLTR: Bosch Drum Sander | Undercarriage Abrasion

This is an oddball abrasive tool from Bosch. It's a home gamer tool that might come in handy. This shows how Bosch Green is engineered for low cost. Thanks for your help! Patrons get early access here

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Anthropomorphucked. I paid my electrician to sign the papers and let me do my own work on a building once rather than use his own guys. Basically just showed up and took a cheque, and told me to flip my receptacles around so they look like happy faces. I was like, naw, I like them the way they were supposed to be installed. He said it wouldn't pass inspection. I wasn't sure if he was a hat-fucker but I did give him some suggestions before rotating them in the entire building.

[@John_Ridley]

I install all mine ground side up and have not heard a thing from the inspectors, but if I've learned one thing, it's that electrical inspectors are random as frig. Hell we have a county nearby where a buddy does house restoration, and they have two electrical inspectors that have mutually contradictory personal preferences. If you do it exactly the way one of them wants, the other one won't pass you, and vice versa.

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

When the standards don't agree the solution is to make another standard, no?

[@ericspda]

Its common in larger commercial installs for them to be ground pin up. But almost all residential is ground down, and most light commercial as well. If it wont pass inspection, find a new inspector.

[@chasmosaurus3]

These ground pins are a rather recent innovation (1960's or so). How did you tell if it was upside down before then?

[@gvii]

Whenever we did residential, we went ground up. But yeah, no doubt that it's all up to how big the stick is in the inspector's dark hole and just how important he feels like being on any given day.

Ever try to use a DMM on one of those, "Baby Proof", outlets? try it some time!!!

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

4:20 With the European plug type (CEE 7/16 "Europlug", and at least also the German CEE 7/4 "Schuko"), that problem is solved by having the outlet recessed into the wall by a little more than the length of the prongs, and having about the half of the prongs that is closer to the plug body isolated - that way, you never have any live metal parts exposed during any moment of the plug being plugged in.

[@signlsirchir2156]

the angle of the drums side dangles makes me think the sprag clutch is for twistin the sand paper tube off.

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

oooooo good call!

[@amandacyr1]

I’ll bet you’re right .

[@danthemancasey]

Hmm. IDK looks like at 21:02 that drum adapter just spins on spindle, doesn't seem to be affixed by the clutch.

[@MysticalDork]

You'd have to spin it the other way to get it off. The clutch may either have some hysteresis and not always engage, or it may only lock-up in the off direction.

[@murraybooth3955]

Could be to stop the back thrust when you stop the tool, like the overrunning clutch on a diesel engine alternator?

That's where the yeast usually settles to, that's why. Expired yeast isn't particularly useful to the human body unless you believe all the people eating yeast for nutrition.

[@pyalot]

I have one of these, the reason for the one way rotation lock is because there is an attachment for hard rollers, where you slide an abrasive tube onto a rubber mandrel. the mandrel is grooved with a slant such that if you rotate it against the locking direction it goes on/off easy, but if you perform work it grips the abrasive tube on the mandrel. So instead of banging your gorilla palm onto a squishy paper tube, you put it on the tool and smartly rotate it in place.

[@tamasnaftz9879]

As somebody already mentioned: reason for the autolock is for the user can remove the sanding sheet from the drum sander attachment and put a new one on. Also the wire clip is not holding down the PCBA, there are ribs for that in the cover housing. The leg is just holding the distance from the panel. The brush holders also supported by ribs in both housing shells.

[@TheGamingSabre]

Love to see a comparison between a Bosch green (home-gamer) tool against their blue (professional) series. Maybe compare their psr against the gsr drill, and find out what justifies the blue colour and throbbing rights.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

The main difference between the green and the blue is the blue is double the price to cover claims under the doubled warranty. I've always said green is just fine if the person using the tool is the person who paid for it. Blue is for if you're letting the hired help use them and might need to claim on the warranty.

[@DrakkarCalethiel]

A friend uses the Bosch Blue (Pro Line) heavily since years at work and had no complains. Must be reasonably skookum.

[@ColtaineCrows]

Except that the innards of the Green and Blue line of tools actually are different. Well, at least they used to be, haven't checked the more recent stuff. Then again I've always had the worst luck with Bosch drills, but always the best luck with Bosch grinders.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

+ColtaineCrows Yeah some of the innards are different sometimes (I did say the 'main difference...') but not a lot IME. I'm using a Bosch green cordless drill at the moment, a PSR 18 LI-2 (but a blue grinder because it was on sale) and the drill's been flawless for a couple of years now. It's a joy to use, sits in the hand nicely, is rigid as hell and has the grunt to tweak my wrist if I'm not careful. The blue grinder has a plastic cover for the gearbox and started leaking lubricant from the first week of use.

[@Lenny-kt2th]

Over here in Europe, Bosch green competes with Black&Decker, and basically they are the most prominent A-brands when it comes to consumer tools. Below is the utter crap, above is the prosumer/pro market. Bosch blue belongs to the latter. No point in comparing Bosch green and blue... despite carrying the same brand, they are different animals.

[@mavos1211]

5am in London and I am just about to put my weary head to my pillow for some well earned sleep and I spy another glorious production from the Empire of Dirt... looks like sleeping will have to wait!

[@MichaelSteeves]

The Canadian Electrical code (CSA C22.2) doesn't specify which way is "up" on a standard 120 V receptacle. Hospitals often specify that the ground pin is "up" because they use metal outlet covers which have been known to lose their retaining screw and fall down only a plug.

[@FranciscoJimenez-bb7fk]

due diligence, ground plug up?

[@ptester1]

I work in a hospital and the ground pins are all down! I've heard 2 philosophies: Ground pin up keeps things from shorting out across the leads. Conversely, having the ground pin down is more stable and less likely to fall out.

[@erik61801]

thanks for the brain wrinkle =]

[@lut5ch3r]

without bragging about it, none of the pins can be contacted on a "security contact plug" (Schutzkontaktstecker) the germans use while being contacted to line, zero and ground

[@benvaun1330]

The hospital I used to work in the white plugs (non critical, if the power goes out there is a power interruption for the ups to kick in, .5 to 1 second) were ground down and the red plugs (critical power which draws off the UPS constantly so there is no interruption) was ground up. I'm honestly not sure why.

[@erg0centric]

Thanks, man! I asked an ESA inspector and he said upside-downing the outlet was not required by code. I have been searching for a reason for decades. I think the best way, for evolutionary purposes, is to install them sideways, live up.

[@kinetkraygunn9432]

[@JacobSanger]

30A 4 wire for dryers, 50A 3 wire for most welders. But code gets crazy for multiple welders on the same circuit.

[@IkaraPentiki]

I never thought the outlet was a cute face, more like a slightly bewildered and slightly appalled face. Also, if you install the plug rightway up, you have an arguably higher chance of getting your diddlers onto a powered lead, as a side effect of human grip geometry.

[@orijimi]

Ikara Pentiki Also, ground prongs snap off super easy. Having it on top means gravity gets to do most of the work.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

orijimi I have never seen a ground pin snap from normal use. I’ve seen knuckleheads float the ground on their extension cords with a pair of pliers and a lack of brain cells, but never from normal everyday wear and test.

It sure was! He said the fan would blow the dust from the brushes into that roller bearing when in fact the fan is doing the opposite. Also he was slow to pick up on the fact that the flimsy interior bits (brush holders etc.) are all positively affixed to a rigid PA6-GF30 case and only flimsy when removed.

We had a guy in the a shop I worked in (Ages ago). He was machining magnesium plate with the side of a large endmill on the series two Bridgeport mill. He had a extension cord laying across the floor by the mill running a fan. The plug for the fan wasn't completely plugged in. There was a gap between the cord and the plug, enough for one of the shavings to get in. When said shaving did exactly that it shorted caught fire and ignited the whole pile of shavings around the mill on fire. While he was frantically trying to get the lid off the five gallon bucket of powder to throw on the fire (He should have had it opened already but he didn't). Someone grabbed a fire extinguisher off the nearby post and sprayed it on the fire. The only problem was this extinguisher was filled with water (I don't know if the even make them anymore). I will leave it to you to imagine what happened next.

[@sonofnone116]

The APW (air-pressurized water) extinguisher is my absolute favorite firefighting tool, next to the Irons. Well, absolute favorite, until you get into metals & stuff...in which case, the D/star/yellow extinguishers are quite preferential!

[@bill45a1]

I bet both he and the one with the H2O extinguisher both had full pants, with schmoo running down BOTH legs!!!

[@PKMartin]

The real problem there is you grab the water extinguisher, think "no, wait, no water on metal fires" and grab the CO2 extinguisher. Then you remember (too late) that magnesium burns in CO2 even better than it burns in air.

[@jeremyb7128]

mmm water on a mag fire,. bet that was awesome,. where's the hot dogs

[@EdgePrecision]

Yes about three people got over there with some halon extinguishers (Not the proper one) and blew the shavings around enough so the fire went out. The mill wasn't damaged just some paint. They did have to evacuate the whole shop for about two hours till the smoke cleared. After that the owners of the shop had the fire department come out and show us how to handle a Magnesium fire. They built a small Magnesium fire between the buildings outside and demonstrated what each fire extinguisher did to it. It turns out there isn't really a good way to put out a Magnesium all you can do is Contain it. So it doesn't spread and let it burn it self out. There is a special powder you throw on the fire, to in effect bury it. I have herd of people using just plane Portland cement stored on short lengths of 4" PVC pipe with end caps. One glued on and the other just shoved on. If you have a fire you pull the end off the pipe and dump the powder cement on it. I have never done this myself because any Magnesium I ever machined I did it with flood coolant not dry. But it will usually mess up the coolant and cause scale inside the machine. Kind of like bathroom scale you get in your shower at home. After machining Magnesium you have to empty the coolant and clean off that scale (It take's a solution of phosphoric acid diluted in water). Than refill the coolant tank. I don't machine it anymore its to much trouble.

Hey AvE, I remember you did a video the magic wand massager, I have what is essentially the professionals version of it. I have an old American made, hand built, individually tested, Morfam Master Massager model M73-625A in practically new condition. They sell online for one to two hundred dollars so they have to be at least half decent and being that I paid the price of a used 1970's car waxer for it I and it has such a niche buyer pool, I think it seems like it would be worth more as entertainment for me to see what's inside it and hopefully give you another tool to show companies how to make tools right.

[@andymoore5771]

Best argument I ever heard for ground up plugs was from an old contractor I worked with. If the cord takes a downward load, (most likely senario) the weakest part of the plastic receptical is the part between the ground hole and the edge of the plug-in. Once that breaks it makes the whole thing loose. In ground up orientation your much less likely to break that... Keeps the plug tight...contacts made..more safer. Cheers

[@russhellmy]

The surface finish you're thinking of is called "hair line". It is not applied with sand paper but rollers made of a 3M buffing pad type material. Polytex makes a professional version of this tool.

We had bicycle inner brake cable attached to the parts washer great for poking into carbs and such. The new guy flipped it behind the machine out of the way. It laid across the plug wires and it starting sparking. It gave him an HR approved foot shove away. Luckily the cable gave a short and kept falling away from the angry pixie receptacle.

I always refer to my blue bosch jigsaws Barrel grip and handle grip as the almighty jigsaw because with the right blade you can slice ,nibble, abrade ,and saw through most materials on the job whether it's a copper pipe or steel or stainless because you don't have anything else to do it with in the truck or the one dedicated tool you have to do it is broken and you didn't realize it till the only alternative was the bosch jigsaw and a special blade . There is even a table made by Bosch where you can invert a jigsaw and use it in various ways Iike a rip or scroll saw. I wouldn't buy anything green, there made for homeowners obviously but thats a interesting light-duty tool for Sanding metal tubes and welded shapes and for curved Furniture parts but only in a small low production environment. Not Union shop filled with hard drinking hard smoking hard-driving Gorillaz , oh that weigh 200 lb. It's amazing how tool design has changed to all this electronics and lightweight design you do a great job at pointing it out and giving it some context. I found with the old boss jigsaws that they'd knock after a couple years or so of service and you could pull the front cover off and slap some grease on it and it sounded new ! The same holds true for Milwaukee Sawzall lubrication. great design. 30 years old which seems impossible but I think about it and I've never done brushes or anything except for replacing the steel or the aluminum bases that i have bent or broken because I've dropped them many times on jobs or in the shop alot of the time from kicking the cord. Recently I bought a DeWalt battery jigsaw to avoid the problems of a cord. I've used it some it's very convenient but it's just a lot different going to corded heavy duty jigsaw. .

the sprag clutch is there to prevent premature wear on the first drive gear. the drum on the end will have enough momentum to turn the motor (when power is disconnected), which is undesirable when using offset gear angles such as those. see that style work in components from older aircraft parts.

[@andrewfunk9167]

Grounding port on bottom is better because if the cord is falling out it, the last connection to break is the grounding wire. There is no code in USA for this however. This will be an argument for the rest of my career.

[@gavster89]

Andrew Funk that's why it's longest

[@mon0railbredpig]

If something fell in behind the plug then it would short out and trip the breaker. The neutral is still grounded anyway. If someone has wet fingers they still have equal chance of contacting the live prong regardless of orientation of the socket.

Reckless Roges if I'm not mistaken, water is a solvent, not an abrasive. The rocks and sand that the water carried down the river was abrasive.

[@Worrsaint]

No. The reason they use ultrasonic in the cleaners is because it creates high velocity steam jets to scrub parts. The cleaning solution gets heated to a little below the boiling point to aid in the happening. Imagine a bunch of tiny steam blasters and pressure washers. Now if you have a bunch of parts in there (nuts and bolts) banging and clanking together the vibration does help.

Finally some sense on outlet position I’ve always installed ground lug up and people argue that I’m wrong they can suck it

[@ohzzapliskin7030]

Egad, I've always wanted something like this to put the brushed finish back into stainless steel sinks and whatnot. The fact that you figured out that this is what it would be perfect for makes it look like I'm trying to fondle you strangely, but I really have put thought into picking up a $900 handheld drum sander for the purpose.

Moose head beer ain’t that bad, it’s no PBR , but hey... 😱😱😱

I'm a mechanic. The proper kind, not the fancy kind. You know the type: dirty concrete floors, tools and parts strewn everywhere, posters of partially-dressed girls holding overpriced tools. We have easily 10 or 15 worn out receptacles with cobbled-together extension cords hanging halfway out positioned about the shop, and so far nothing's ever gotten dropped into one, not tools or offcuts or fingers or anything. Now that I've said that, it'll probably happen next week...

[@hartsockthomson3334]

Like it usually does. We have a very specific proverb for that "phenomenon" here in Greece.

[@briguybby944]

A ‘proper’ mechanic has their tools and parts organized, not strewn about. I’ll bet you’re not very busy.

[@thefordmaniac]

Brian Golob no...that means one has too much time to organize

[@huemanatie4392]

If it can happen, it will happen.

[@NskLabs]

Fully aware of risking being boring, at 13:00 actually it is a helical geometry, it's how helical gears are made, see pfauter. Sorry for the post and thank You for all the free stuff.

[@whitacrebespoke]

In U.K. we have 3pin plugs, they are the other way up with the earth up top. Our plugs have a specific size they have to be too to reduce chance of touching half engaged pins. That with the plastic sheathing makes them fairly safe

Takes the internals out of a rigid shell, complains that the internals aren’t rigid.

[@carlalm6100]

"120 Amps" =)

[@plasmaman9592]

That tool is amazing for cleaning up a 3d wood carving and v carve signs when used with a soft bristle wheel. It can clean crevices you cannot get to with sandpaper

[@mikeyp1977]

I have some of those mini bolt cutters from knipex. Absolutely awesome 👍

[@dalltex]

Who drops things between a plug half inserted and the receptacle?? Kind of a Darwin moment if ya ask me.

[@FlesHBoX]

When I was like... 8 or 9 years old I was curious and dropped a penny onto the exposed plug ends, lol. Freaked me out when it popped the breaker, but I kept that penny with a notch burned out of it for many years.

[@GoldSrc_]

the sparks are pretty lol.

[@sugarbooty]

A proper design is safe, effective, and easy to use. I think most plugs have the easy to use part down, but others won't pull out of your wall with a little waggling and/or are much safer in the event of an unlikely or likely occurrence. Like accidentally touching the pins while pulling it out.

[@stanwooddave9758]

You guy's are cheap-skates, I used a quarter (American coin) thinking it would either stop the train, or at least derail. That sucker, was extra BIG & FLAT, but the train keep going. I was very disappointed, but I keep that coin for a very long time.

[@bernieg2433]

At 5 years old i found that a hacksaw blade fits perfectly in a 220 plug.

[@evil00horse]

I think a pneumatic vibrator is the only safe one for the bath.

[@rs2198]

Aaron Adams honey I’m going to take a bath... Brrrrrrrrrrrnrnnrnrnrnrnrrr....... Fffffffvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrdrdrrrrrrrrr

[@jostouw4366]

yeah but all those bubbles

[@mrmaigo]

They make some cute tools, perfect for the itch I got down back.

[@TBrady]

"At full stall we're only getting a hundred and twenty amps, which is dead nuts on the label" That's strange, because that doesn't look like 2 awg wire to me.

[@mortlet5180]

Brady Tribble; Yeah but remember it's 120A @ 240V not 120V. And the wiring is also metrique, so 2AWG ~= 2mm^2 XD

[@mattholmes8214]

MRLT 120 Amps is 120 Amps, regardless of voltage. It needs bigger wire or it melts. Using higher voltage means more power without more current.

[@ConorNoakes]

You’re forgetting how much more protection European domestic mains has compared to North America... You’ll bang out the 20A circuit breaker (Mainland Europe) LONG before the cable gets hot in a prolonged stall environment

[@JusttheEdge]

Brady Tribble he obviously meant watts since that's what the kill-a-watt was set to he was reading.

[@FerdinandFake]

Most euro outlets are only on a 16A breaker, plenty of juice at 230v

[@tomschlachet4310]

Always seek the advice of a professional when dealing with a green tool.

[@bryankirk3567]

@16:33 The fan is NOT blowing "in here". It's centrifugal, so it is creating a slightly negative pressure "in here". This will get rid of any "graphite grinding dust" that may be lurking to pounce on the rear bearing.

[@MaLiXs88]

OMG this copper bottle opener is a piece of art!!! I would like to have one like that and polish it like hell !!!

[@EternalResonance]

than nuns😂
