Alabama thread!

haha I know I know, but man this thing can't be beat! it's so good! I need to sharpen the blade right now but that's after a tonnnnn of use.

 

What size battery are you using? I've got 2 Ah (hand tools), 4 Ah, and 6 Ah for the big tools. I can't think of a time that I've killed one before completing a job around my house.

edit - all of my tools have brushless motors and are less than 5 yrs old.

 

I had a couple Poulan's and both were crap. I bought an Echo 5 or so years back and it's a dream. Thing ran like a top during the Hurricane Michael cleanup.

 

yeah I def wouldn't take my worx out for cleanup, or anything outside of my backyard really haha! but man it is a dream for yard cleanup, I've dropped a couple trees about 12" in diameter in the backyard.

 

Operation stfu underway

 

I have a battery powered Ryobi pole saw that is friggin fantastic for small things and limb trimmin'! I can see where the corded would come in handy. Battery dies too quick on the pole saw

 

2 subs in that small of a cab is definitely going to be loud. what size amp?

 

LOL its super lound man ive had them in there for 2 years and it rattles everything. Cant hear yourself talk at full volume.
2 10's totaling 1000rms output. 1200 watt rms amp

 

exactly the reason I done my own timing belt and water pump job on our GX. I would be freaking out someone didn't tighten something down if i paid someone to do it.

 

So if I ever get a water leak in the plumbing I’m set. Soldering copper isn’t easy. At least not to me. Lowe’s didn’t have any copper brazing rods which is what my brother said they used in his night school AC class he took for fun this summer. He said they’re a lot easier and stronger, but not for drinking water. This is for air compressor though.

 

I've had an electric and a gas pressure washer. Electric was underpowered for doing a driveway. It would do a strip 1" wide with enough power to clean. The plastic tank let loose and it became garbage. My mother had an electric also and it cracked somewhere on the inside and became garbage. I tried to take hers apart to plastic weld it, but it wasn't in a repairable place.

I have a 14" spinner attachment you can borrow to do your driveway. Makes life so much easier.

 

Nice cooling manifold! I might have put a foot longer on the drainage tubes so it could collect more between emptying.

Are you going hydraulic hose from the compressor to the copper? It will get rid of vibrations.

 

yes, good 6’ hose to it.

then I have a 3/4” regulator and filter right after the manifold.

if this thing doesn’t blow or leak at all I’ll be super stoked for first time doing this. If it leaks I’ll just whip the torch out and add more solder, but geez it sucks.

 

Well I went electric.

 

I have a 2000 psi ryobi I bought from a guy for $100. Was brand new only used once and he didn’t like it. Works perfectly fine except for the fact that I lost a seal ring where the water line hooks into the pressure washer from the house. It leaks while waters on but oh well. Does what I need a pressure washer to do but I really hate the stiff hose so will get a different one one day.

 

I have a sunjoe or whatever cheap ass brand from walmart ($49 black friday). It works but I'd buy gas next time for sure (even tho I'm fanboi of battery powered tools haha)

 

I like this ryobi so far I’d say my only complaint is the hose reel is basically pointless. You can only use it if the hose isn’t connected in either end, which means I have to disconnect the hose every single time just to use the reel.

 

Done with the back!

 

It took a while with my driveway and we had a 21” concrete washer attached to a 4100 psi washer.

My back hurts for you lol

 

I’m gonna get a longer wand haha!
