> nonsensical graph
Fun fact, BL tools (with “BLDC” motors) are actually 3-phase AC motors fed with a DC to AC inverter.
They’d be true BLDC motors if they put that circuitry in the motor itself, but they don’t.
DC brushed motors are also based on AC, but the communicator is part of the motor which effectively turns the DC into AC.

> brushless motors may not need the help with torque
Keep dreaming. Look for any cordless BL tools with “direct drive” and then we’ll be there.
The gear ratios in cordless tools are even crazier, since they spin faster. That stupid graph fails to mention that the “AC” is at power plant frequencies (i.e. 60 Hz). The inverters in tools have no such frequency limitation.
If you squeeze the trigger just a bit so the drill is getting power but is not spinning (or spinning very slowly) you’ll hear a high-pitched whine around 12 kHz. Thus, they spin much faster, typically up to around 30,000 RPM.

>AEG 18V
I really liked their knapsack when I was in the market for one, had a nice harness and pressure adjustment, everyone else at the time had crappy straps directly on a tank. If Milwaukee had their current model out at the time, I probably would've went M18 instead. Sales aren't too bad... If they go on sale.
Tools are all pretty average, recipros have an obnoxious whine but their subcompact one is a bit lighter than a Hackzall. Fans are nice, though (fuck humidity).

>AEG 58V
Knapsack also takes these batteries. I got various bits and pieces cheap ex-demo or secondhand, and TTI was giving away batts left and right after the exploding battery saga they had. Shame it's getting discontinued now in lieu of their tabless 18V batteries, their chainsaw on even a 58V 4.0 is much beefier than the Stihl AP chainsaws we also have on our crew - just let down by the less responsive trigger and the absolutely dogshit safety/overload cutout every 58V tool seems to have. I reckon a 58V with some JP40s shoved in it could make some serious sauce.
The hedge trimmer is a heavy fucking pig too, but it's second to none as a lantana smashing machine - I can put the same amount of tracks through a paddock of the filth by morning break, compared to all day on a brush hook.

>Milwaukee M12
The little chainy is a weapon, hedge trimmer is surprisingly useful on dealing with vine thickets and the pruning shears are a much better design than what AEG/Ryobi offers (a safety that's much harder to fumble by mistake, for one). Thought about getting a few other things but don't need them urgently, it's more my go-to stuff for when I'm off spray duty and actually get to mulch some weeds.

>>2879372
I've got an old DeWalt 18V drill too, not very powerful but it's nearly 20 years old and still going hard, got a battery adaptor for it since one of its original packs was going lame. Still kills many fat camphors to this day. Got a M18 Hackzall I got on redemption too, repacked some stuffed old batteries I got for free with some P28As and it cuts nicely. Recipros go to other crew members without chainy training, or who I don't trust NOT to take their limbs off with one (the Hatchet is pretty dangerous if you're a careless retard).

>>2878720
Got an M12 mid layer jacket. I don't wear it much on foot, on account of Australia never getting stupid cold outside the alpine regions, but it's a game changer on motorbikes. I rode across rural Vic and SA via the Grampians in the dead of winter and between that and the heated grips on my 650, never felt cold - even when it dropped under freezing. Have a 12V lead for the 650 and carry some spare M12s if I'm camping somewhere frosty or riding my little bike around. Mind you, there's probably a good assortment of jackets out there that run off USB power banks by now that would be worth a crack, but have never heard anyone say anything nice about the heated base layer Milwaukee has.

if you tilt your head slightly to the left, you will find that it is GoBoard (TM) by Johns Manville, a Berkshire Hathaway company, offering such benefits as fast installation, being ultra-lightweight, being easy to use, handle, and install, and being innately waterproof, for applications on walls, showers, ceilings, floors, and countertops

but for real it's just big foam board like schluter kerdi. really light, you score and snap with a razor knife. leave a 1/8" gap between boards, fill gaps and cover screw heads with sealant.

>>2878660
and no it's not boutique i got it at lowes

Idk Briggs and Stratton motors but usually theres a special tool for flywheel removal instalation/removal on other engines I've worked on. Sheared Woodruff keys are from the flywheel not sitting on the tapered fit of the crankshaft. Crankshaft starts spinning Woodruff key slips out and is blown to bits, engine seizes. Find the flywheel installer tool or someone on YouTube that installed it some other way. It has to be really really tight. Even if you used something like a socket and rubber mallet it still won't hold once you gas it. Once it's under load of it is not seated properly it will come right off and keep shredding your Woodruff keys. You get runout due to the weight of the flywheel being off kilter and those forces push the flywheel off the flywheel gradually.

>>2877727
Sorry I meant flywheel off the crankshaft. I'm tired.

>>2877354
If it's breaking flywheel keys then it means the flywheel bolt isn't on tight enough. The key isn't supposed to actually stop the flywheel turning; it's more of a diagnostic tool to help you tell if the flywheel has moved from its intended position.
Briggs and strratton is fucking garbage anyway, so just blast that flywheel nut as tight as you can get it with an impact. If something breaks, just shrug and get a honda clone.

Stop using candy to start it,
Probably too late

The keyway, like a cotter pin shouldnt be taking the force.

Thermostats are closed in every engine ever till it warms up. Thermostats fail open for a reason. Proper cooling is important fr longevity, but not the barest level of making things dance.

If this is rehab
Dot the i's and t's after, bolt that back together and hook up a fuckhuge battery and crank it

based on the prices... you aren't buying it.

>>2878184
>One thing they are explicit about is *the motor is in the power pack, not in the tool*.
nowhere is this stated. the electric 3 phase water cooled motors are in the tool.

these are souped up brushless tools. dingus

>>2878167
ok skippy. I'm going to spoon feed you what I found on their website with about 10 minutes of looking...

the large box (power supply) takes single or 3 phase power and then feeds it to the tools. if you plug it into single phase power you get less power out. it is a phase converter.

there is a connection for water into the power supply. this is also fed to the tool to cool it.

how did I find this information?
the website specs
the user manuals
the parts manuals
it shows that each device has a motor in it with 6 electrical connections.

they mention hydraulics because they are saying the the units put out the same amount of power (or close to) as hydraulics. nothing on the site says they are hydraulic.

>What is the point of the $7k power pack then

Take what you learned into your next project; as you evaluate what you could have done better/cheaper/whatever, ask yourself WHY, get to the root, then apply the base principles to whatever you do next.

Best way to dispatch chickens? Personally I find extending their neck and then firmly yanking their head upwards works best and saves you the absolute bloody mess of decapitating them.

If the saws are standing models, jack those fuckers up and install heavy-duty locking wheels on all four corners. Moving the saws out of the way becomes a breeze - you can even wheel it into the driveway, for really dusty jobs. Worked out great, for me.

Easy mode: Add a second one of those heavy-duty freestanding shelves
Medium mode: Mount a bunch of shelving and hangers on the wall
Hard mode: That garage looks tall enough to support a mezzanine, which you could build out of lumber a bit like a loft bed. Build it up just above the garage door and store all your totes of shit you rarely access up there.

>>2877447
I would say shimming from the top is the safer approach, especially for DIY.

>>2877447

>>2877447
In almost all cases jacking it up stacking more is better if that's an option. You may need to do it more than once, but it WILL stop sinking after it's done enough.

>>2878496
Is it not beneficial to go under the frost line? You think that the stones will conduct the cold down there anyways so its not worth the effort? The current foundation is so thin that i dont feel comfortable going up from there when we are talking about pretty considerable rise. So maybe i should just dig around the stones to build strong enough base for the later layers?

>>2878514
How deep is your frost layer? I don't know your budget or equipment, but you might need to dig several feet down to try to deepen the foundation to the right level
It would be cheaper and enormously easier to jack it up and stack up
It would be best to dig past frost and stop the problem with certainty
Depends on your actual capabilities
