How to change the blades on a garden shredder: Sovereign BL1800 garden chipper. An easy DIY fix

[@ebikescrapper3925]

I have a friend who collects scrap on an ebike, it has set himself up as a PLC. That way his clothes, tools and bike parts are tax deductible. Great video as always, a man of many talents. I find a lot of lawnmower blades are not that sharp to begin with, a quick sharp does wonders. I find Wera screwdrivers and bits good.

Good for him, I agree with you about wera. nice quality.

Slowest part of those type of shredders is the feeding. I always wonder about hinging the lid then you can pop a handful in and close the lid whilst it shreds. Good size of compost produced from them tho!

I bought a new engine for my Merry Tiller the other year. Now I want to add accessories to it. I have a pressure washer pump so far but would like to add a shredding attachment. Something with a power feed to slowly feed/force material into the blades.

I had a merry tiller years ago, there should be a video of it in my rotavators playlist. I didn't know you could get such an attachment for one, or would you make it?

[@ianhelsbyservices]

@@bootsowen make it. I'll have to check your video. The output of the motor is a pair of V-belt pulleys so anything you fancy can just attach to that. The pressure washer pump simply bolts onto the motor (with pulley removed). I also had visions of attaching a pair of alternators to it for fast charging vehicles but had trouble activating the alternators.

My Uncle's impact driver's bit holder is 1/2" square drive to the main body. I've used socket extension bars for loosening stuck screws in the depths of various machines.

I have just splashed out on another impact driver, waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
