Stubby Wrenches For Tight Places

aadams — Sun, 02 May 2010 17:39:40 +0000

Stubby wrenches are tools that are designed with shorter handles so they can be used in tight spaces where standard wrenches would prove difficult—or even impossible—to use. Consider today’s car and truck engines—they are often built so tightly that it’s difficult to get a standard tool into some areas. For example, the bolts holding the alternator or starter in place can be removed more easily when the wrench has a short handle. Unlike standard wrenches that have a long shaft, short handles won’t bump up against the engine block—or cause the mechanic to tear up his knuckles. And being able to do that kind of repair at home instead of at a mechanic’s shop is well worth the price of a new set of tools that can be used again and again.

These stout implements are also handy for turning nuts or bolts that are manufactured from more delicate materials like aluminum. Motorcycles and bicycles often have parts made of softer alloys. Because the torque used on such metals isn’t as heavy, the chance of stripping threads is less likely than with a traditional wrench.

Of course stubby wrenches are useful for more than car repair and maintenance. They come in handy around the house and garden, too. They make replacing stair balusters easier because of improved turning ration. Replacing the blades on the lawnmower is a simpler task. Plumbing repairs go more smoothly, too, when the long handles of standard tools aren’t getting in the way. And implements with shorter handles take up less room in the tool box or utility cabinet. Finally furniture building and repair becomes less frustrating when the tool fits the job…and the user’s hand.

Craftsman Router Table

aadams — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:00:31 +0000

One of the most versatile tools that should make and appearance in the modern wood shop is a Craftsman router table. While some tools, both hand and powered, are designed for one specific purpose, experience and creativity teach a woodworker how to utilize those tools in different manners. While it can take years to hone these skills, the quality of the tools helps with the process. A brand like Craftsman performs day in and day with little fan fair and surprisingly little maintenance once the table is set up. This particular tool allows for shaping and forming any type of wood from basic rounding of edges to advanced edging and jointing. Because a quality router table can make quick work of many tasks, they are often indispensable in the wood shop.

Granted, the router table is limited to the types of bits present in the shop. Fortunately, hundreds, if not thousands, of different router bits are available made from an assortment of metals. The type of metal used and the size of the bit usually dictate the price. However, one bit can produce several different results by raising or lowering the table or the router itself. A Craftsman router table is equipped with an aluminum tabletop that allows the wood to pass through the cutting head with little resistance. This feature also allows for easy adjustment of the fence to keep cuts clean and consistent. In addition, the bench top models provide means of keeping the entire unit in place with boltholes in the legs. Free standing or full tables feature heavy-duty casters and locking wheels for easily moving the entire assembly around the shop.

With the different uses of a Craftsman router table at their disposal, craftsmen can create some beautiful and functional pieces of furniture or the latest crafts.

Any Ryobi 18 v cordless drill or any Ryobi cordless tool in general that is, will accept either the old ni cad batteries or the new and much improved lith ion batteries. The p203 can be found by itself or as part of a kit. There is both a 2 piece kit that comes with the drill and flashlight as well as a 4 piece kit that comes with the drill, circular saw, recipricating saw and worklight. Both kits come with charger and battery, beware though, the Ryobi P203 on its own does not always come with a battery. So pay special attention to the package if you know you will need one. If you have some exsisting Ryobi tools then do not worry as I mentioned earlier the old ni-cads will work fine if that is what you are used to. Whether you are looking for just a great drill or an addition to your existing blue Ryobi tools, the Ryobi P203 is the perfect tool for you.

Ryobi 18 Volt Charger

admin — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 19:09:33 +0000

The Ryobi 18 volt charger is a must have (literally) for every owner of Ryobi cordless tools. If you have not heard, Ryobi now comes in two flavors. The newest tools are all bright green in color and so is the new charger (who would have thought). One must have bit of information about the chargers. If you have Lithium Ion batteries then please only buy a green charger (Ryobi P113), not the black one (Ryobi P110). The green Ryobi 18 volt charger is capable of charging both the old NiCad batteries and the new LithIon batteries. The old chargers only charge the old batteries.

You can continue to use both the new batteries and the old batteries in all of your Ryobi 1+ tools. Get the Ryobi 18 volt Charger today and make your workshop happy.

Ryobi P232

admin — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:52:12 +0000

Ryobi cordless tools have given us another gem with the Ryobi P232. Part of their new bright green tool line the p232 is a cordless impact driver with bite. The model is tailor made for the new Ryobi 1+ LithIon 18 volt batteries, but if you have any NiCad batteries still hanging around, go ahead and use them it is fully compatible for use with both batteries.

No items matching your keywords were found.

If you don't have a cordless impact wrench in your cordless arsenal yet, now is a great time to add one. Cordless drills are great, don't get me wrong. But to be completely honest, you have not really driven a 3 inch deck screw or driven a 5 inch lag bolt or anything else until you have done it with an impact driver. Tightening a bolt? You were going to grab the ratchet weren't you. No way, go for the cordless impact driver. The new drivers are small enough to get into fairly compact places and the new Lithium Ion batteries make them much lighter than previous generations. Whatever the case may be, the Ryobi P232 is the tool for you.

Ryobi 18 volt cordless tools

This post is the first in a series highlighting 18 volt cordless tools series available from major tool manufactures, starting with Ryobi. Lets cut to the chase, what is the initial factor that drives people to buy Ryobi tools. In my humble opinion and solely based on my personal actions in the past, it is price. The Ryobi tool price point is by far the best in the tool business. By business I mean major cordless tool manufacturers, not your K-Mart or Target store brand. If you want a cheap tool that will not go the distance by all means, run to your local discount giant. If you want a lower price cordless tool that does what it is meant to do and last for years, then you should look for the Ryobi Tools name.

Ryobi has nicknamed its 18 volt cordless system as One+ 18V. What are they trying to get at with this name. One battery to power all of your cordless tools, that is there message. It should actually read Two+ now that their Lithium Ion batteries have hit the Ryobi Tools scene. All Ryobi cordless tools can use either the old NiCad batteries or the new Lith Ion batteries.

Let me better explain the “all Ryobi tools” remark. Until recently if you saw a blue cordless tool, your first reaction would be “that’s it is a Ryobi tool“. Well, that is now their old model cordless tool. Don’t be so quick to say “My Ryobi tools are old? I just bought them”. Good news for “old model” users, you can take advantage of the new Lithium Ion batteries the same as the new models. Both NiCad and Lithium Ion batteries fit in both the new and old Ryobi tool models.

The “new” model Ryobi tools are a bright green color. Don’t ask me why they did this, Hitachi tools are already known for the green color. Color trade marking aside, the new tools do offer advantages over the old. The new Ryobi 18v Lithium Ion tools are optimized for weight and balance. Although the new Lith Ion batteries are what make this optimization possible you can still plug the old Ni-Cad battery in if you are in a bind.

So a good question might be, “What tools are available from Ryobi tools”. Here is the short list.

Green Ryobi tools (new)

18 Volt Lithium Ion Battery
18 Volt Charger (Charges both Ni Cad and Lith Ion)
18 Volt Drill
18 Volt Circular Saw
18 Volt Reciprocating Saw
18 Volt Worklight

Blue Ryobi Tools (old, sort of)

18 Volt Blower
18 Volt Chain Saw
18 Volt Pole Pruner
18 Volt Home and Garden Sprayer
18 Volt Hedge Trimmer
18 Volt String Trimmer
18 Volt Car Buffer

I guess that was actually the long list. As you can see from the not so short list above, the New Lithium Ion Ryobi Tools or Green Ryobi, has a way to go. Like I said earlier, the good news is that you can purchase a Ryobi Lithium Ion upgrade kit now. This will allow you to start utilizing the benefits of Lithium Ion tool battery Immediately. As time goes by I certain that Ryobi tools will be redesigning their entire range of old “blue” tools and optimizing them for weight and balance transforming them into cool new “green” tools.

Old or New, Blue or Green, Ryobi 18 volt Cordless Tools is where you want to be for the best price and features.

Cordless Tools, NiCad Battery Charging 101

admin — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 02:38:19 +0000

Charging a cordless tool battery seems like it would be an easy thing to do. Something that many of us have probably done time after time. Step one, remove the battery from the cordless tool as soon as you are done using it. Step two plug the battery into the charger that came with the cordless power tool. Step three let the battery sit on the charger until the next time you need to use the tool.

I know this does not seem like a helpful article thus far. I have just told everyone how to do what they already know. What you don’t know is this is not the best practice for charging your batteries. (Unless you are using the new Lithium Ion power tools) There are 2 things wrong with that step by step guide, can you spot them?

The standard battery for cordless tools (until recently) has been the Nickel Cadmium or NiCad battery. Cordless tool Ni Cad technology has been evolving since its inception, but it still suffers from a few side effects that can be easily negated if you know more about how the battery works.

NiCad battery side effect number one, memory. When you place a Nickel Cadmium tool battery on the charger before the battery has completely discharged, you are creating battery memory. What exactly does this mean. The battery just remembered the point at which it was discharged and thinks that this point is the point of full battery discharge. The battery will remember how much it had to charge from this point to get back to a full charge.

This will not happen over night. It will not happen the first time you place a half discharged cordless tool battery on the charger. If you are an avid weekend warrior or even if you only use your tools once a month. The odds are that you are used to placing your tool batteries back on the charger so that they have a full charge the next time you need them. This is your bane, the time and time again half charges will eventually lead to your batteries only holding a half charge at max charge.

So what should you do. That is actually an easy answer. Buy more batteries for your cordless tools. Always wait until your Ni-Cad battery fully discharges and then replace it with your spare and fully charged tool battery. You are ready to go, and you will never run into battery memory again.

NiCad battery side effect number two, overcharge damage. Simply put, if you keep your cordless power tool batteries on a standard charger until the next time you need it, you will shorten the total life of the battery. I say a standard charger because this is the normal single battery charger that comes with cordless tools. Most of the chargers that come with say cordless drill, are single cycle full power chargers. These chargers are meant for fast charging and removal when the tool battery is full. So what happens when you leave the battery on the cordless tool charger until the next time you need to use it. You will have been sending full charging power to the battery for too long and be over charging. You will notice that the battery will be very hot when you take it off the charger, this is bad and this will shorten the life of your battery.

What is the solution. Simple again, buy a two stage battery charger. Stage one, charge the battery at full power until it is full. Stage two, detect when the battery is full and adjust power to a trickle just enough to keep the battery at full charge for an extended time. With a dual stage battery charger, you can leave the battery on the charger for as long as you like with no damage. What’s more is you will not have a hot battery to put back into your cordless tool, that is good.

With a few simple changes or should I say with a few simple purchases, you can insure a long life for all of your NiCad cordless tool batteries.
