1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I haven't had any tools of their that are bad. I'm a Makita guy for cordless tools mostly. But I have a Ryobi right angle drill, and some outdoor battery equip and it's good too

 

This. Get a few of the $30-$50 grinders for different discs. Also learn how to change the discs without the wrench cause you will loose it.

I finally got a cordless Dewalt for the shop at work. Other than draining batteries quick it is awesome for jobs away from the shop.

 

I didnt even know Ryobi made a legit impact gun. I always thought of them as a "lets build a swingset/deck one weekend" then sit on the shelf for a year kinda tool brand. My dad has their 18v drill, its OK. My 12v Milwaukee can run circles around it but its twice the price too.

 

My one coworker as all ryobi tools across the board, they're weekend warrior homeowner quality. So not good getting used every day

Otherwise I guess they're okay. I'm a DeWalt guy all the way and have beat the tar outta my tools, then again my ex coworker was able to snap the handles on 2 dewalt impacts in only 4 yrs so maybe I'm not as hard on my tools as I think I am lol

 

Fuck. Ain't that the truth

 

56HP Lombardini diesel. Getting ready to build the land cruiser of our fleet, suckered can make 30 gallons a minute at 2500psi and run all day

 

It's a feel good brand for occasional home users when it comes to most things. Nothing is exceptional but at the price it won't hurt the wallet and it won't let you down. The angle grinders might be the exception haha, they're damn good. I've even used 6" wheels on em.

 

I can't believe I shook your hand! You should be ashamed, that's not something one says in the presence of peers. That's like admitting you have fart fetish in the chocolate fountain line at golden corral... You just don't.

 

The best of the 1980s. Or late 70s? Not sure.

 

My grinders at the house are the cheapo Skil and Porter-Cable $20 ones. Its hard to screw up a grinder imo.

 

I dunno, I stalled other ones and burnt out motor windings when using cup brushes (the real test)

Also @0xDEADBEEF

 

The skil grinders from Amazon are awesome! Buy 4 of them and just leave a variety of wheels/discs on them and laugh in the face of others at their inefficiency.

 

Mmm pulling wire whiskers out of your flesh for hours after the job.

 

People who only have a single grinder and switch wheels during a project are actual troglodytes.

 

If you're gunna judge me like this, ya shoulda done it way back when

In my defense I went with dewalt cause I got an employee discount at the hardware store I used to work at and I had the yellow option or craftsman option, so of course I went dewalt

 

Pretty sure this is why we both ended up with cordless makitas too.

 

Leather is a godsend haha

 

The new craftsman stuff is Stanley. So same as MAC and Dewalt.

 

I think bearings in mine might be going, it makes some interesting noises when it's spinning down. Those fine particles are hell on mechanical stuff.

 

You would hate working with me, not only do I only have a single grinder and a well practiced wheel switching ritual, I also only have one outlet in my garage.
