Hey, no jackass-ery meant by this, but Toolbox is a word, you don't need to separate them.

Toolshed or Shed for Tools? Toolbox or Box of Tools? Hope you don't take these rudely and when in doubt "English is Germanic, I'll just make 1 words from 2+ words." Edit: added bold for more effect.

[@wde4657]

Definitely recommend a face shield for these things. Those discs explode and can embed into your skin. They can slash your throat. Not kidding. Props for keeping the guard on the tool.

[@dretrodealerakasparkz5406]

What the hell are u doing with them? Iv used makita grinders and blades for over a decade, the only reason a blade would shatter or break is due to de lamination due to miss use or over heating....again from miss use on the wrong material!

[@wde4657]

@@dretrodealerakasparkz5406 I've never blown one up but I've seen the consequences from it happening. Accidents happen. Material defects happen.

[@Pacmoo]

Also good to know is these discs have a "use by date" for a reason.

[@timramich]

I've never had that happen once in my life, and I use them daily. Only with tiny Dremel-sized type of grinders have I had cutting wheels fly apart on me. Also, why would you be aiming the tool in such a manner that the plane of rotation can make things fly at your face? Even with a face shield, I would not aim even the sparks anywhere near my body.

[@dretrodealerakasparkz5406]

WDE46 of course you should of seen the possibilities when you went on your abrasive wheels training course that allows you to change your blade/disc safely every couple of years. These images are sourced from countries where health and safety is poor and training is inadequate to the majority of users. We are always being shown incidents from America of guys having blades hanging out of them, hell i am friends with someone who went 5mm into the bone of his index finger because he knew better! Its not about PPE its about doing things safely, correctly rated PPE is also overlooked as people think goggles will do but are they impact rated? Where was the regard of grinding against dry painted wood that could happily catch fire as well

[@CaptHotah]

I been using daily, 5 days a week, 10hours a day cordless impact driver, grinder and sds hammer drill and 3 5ah batteries made by Makita for the past 3 years. I dropped the countless times from heights and they know dust well. They still work perfectly. Absolutely love Makita.

[@patrickmcclintick9552]

Grinders are fun and versatile. Just remember some of the discs (metal cutting discs for example) do have expiration dates. The glues used to bind the grinding aggregate can degrade over time, causing the disc to want to fly apart. So check the disc and product package for any expiration information.

[@elfboyjr555]

If you're interested in suggestions, I highly recommend the Vacmaster Professional Beast Series 5 gallon. It's size is in the sweet spot. Small enough for portability and storage, however large enough to fit full size shopvac motor for superior suction!

[@cardsfanbj]

Looking at shop vacuums, I'm really happy with my dad's Rigid blower/vac that he got for Christmas a couple years ago. I got a cheap ShopVac brand vacuum and it's seriously underpowered compared to it. Model number WD1680. Plus its motor part comes off and works as a detachable leaf blower. We don't often use it for leaves but rather blowing out the garage or clearing dust off the patio and whatnot.

I was raised doing this kind of stuff. Love the content Paul and would like to see more videos from someone learning the ropes of proper tool use

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

You don't need the spanner when fastening the disks, just use your fingers to tighten it down. You can also tighten the nut by giving the disk a spin while keeping the spindle locked. When used disks will tighten the nut themselves if needed. I've been told that over tightening the nut can actually damage the disk, making it more likely to fracture. The spanner is there just to break the nut loose after use.

[@brandongreene3213]

Hey buddy! Great purchase. You will likely want to get at least 1 more 5AH (2 would be better) battery. This will allow you to have the ability to use the tool while the other batteries are charging. The smaller batteries are just a tease.

[@eldonkeyes9276]

Good to see you branching out on tops and such. Good addition to your channel for sure!!

[@sarah1390]

This is interesting on how you view tools. This is day to day stuff and so what if it allows you to make content in the process. It's a nice mix up having the odd non-channel related video but also too getting some of these tools may help you in computer case modification once you are done with the house renovations.

[@tarfeef_4268]

I actually love your home improvement/"hardware" videos. More is quite welcome :)

[@JaenEngineering]

The spanner isn't for tightening the retention nut, but undoing it. When tightening it, it only needs to be done as tight as you can by hand. This allows the disc to centre itself, and due to the direction of the thread, it'll tighten itself. Using the spanner to tighten the nut and you could either a) have a slight imbalance or worse b) over tighten it putting too much pressure on the hub risking the disc to shatter.

[@PaulTheFox1988]

I have rarely used those removal tools when using a grinder, just switch it off, hold the lock button down and undo the nut by gripping the disc and turning it until the nut loosens, it saves a fuck tonne of time when switching between cutting and grinding. It's less safe obviously, but I was a fabricator/welder for 10 years and never had an issue. If you're cleaning up burrs after cutting with a cutting disc, you can, if you're gentle enough actually use the face of the cutting disc to clean them off, but this takes finesse, and should only be done where the cleaning is only minor. They also make the discs from fibreglass mixed with the actual grinding material, so as long as you don't drop them, they're very unlikely to break apart during normal use, if you nick or break a chunk off the disc though, throw it in the recycling bin, they're no longer safe to use. :)

[@avontron6483]

Paul's "Treat yo'self" ... One can also buy tile and stone cutting disks for angle grinders. I set tile from time to time and my angle grinder is a trusty friend for anything other than straight cuts.

[@corwinwhitehorn7759]

If you want to sand or grind metal with it, use compartments grinding wheels, they work quite well

The guard is to keep your hand from slipping into the blade as well as direct the sparks. A needed tool for renos is a reciprocating saw commonly referred to as a sawsall.

[@lorzon]

Is anyone else more interested in his knife than the angle grinder? That sound is amazing. Also, you can use a drill and bolt extractor to get those bolts out of your concrete and fill it.

[@tuxediomafia]

important things to consider for a grinder is BALANCE. IS it heavy at one end? does the large battery offset the balance? Torque? does it bog down easy? Guard/spark dispersion, is it near your face? do you get a lot of debris coming out at different directions? Battery run time under load. Trigger mechanism? is it complicated? does it have a silly safety switch? etc.. etc etc. I would suggest picking up a copy of Fine HomeBuilding, by Taunton press and take a look at their tool reviews, and you can see and get some ideas

[@LaneHouse]

A shop vac was one of the first purchases I made when we bought our new home, and a compressor. The angle grinder wasn't until I attempted to use a cheap Harbor Freight air angle grinder to cut a car hood. It was awful, bought a Dewalt corded and cut through that BMW hood like a hot knife through butter.

[@Deusstyles]

I like power tools as well, I think it's a pretty good overlap of PC hardware and power tools. Also I would call it "Wish List", like a Christmas/birthday wish list or an amazon wish list.

Little tip: you don't need the key (spanner) to lock the disc (and most of the times not even to unlock) just grab the disc and turn it in the desired direction. (for locking you first need to turn the metal piece in place so the disc can grip on)

[@bryandepaepe5984]

Brushless motors does not necessarily mean it will last longer, it just means you won't need to change brushes, in exchange the longevity will depend mainly on the quality of the MOSFETS and silicon chips used in the tool which are usually not replaceable or fixable requiring purchasing another tool instead of swapping brushes.

[@Wellibob68]
