why are used angle grinders always plugged up with sheetrock dust?
ive bought several off ebay for cheap that were absolutely packed and needed cleaned out and every time i go in the hockshop 3/4 of their selection looks like its been on a coke bender
ive never felt the need to even use a grinder on metal inside a sheetrocked room let alone cgew on the walls
wtf am i missing?
>>
>>3007748
Thats caked on saw dust from the last time i used it to sand some planks, but here in the sand box the standard buullding material is cement so grinders get exposed to alot of dust
>>
>>3007748
They're a pretty bad tool for cutting sheetrock. It works great, but it also creates 5 times as much dust as it has any right to. I think if there were blades thinner than the basic cutoff blades then I'd try this again.

Everyone uses multitool to cut-in to drywall.

Such is the case when overcoming disabilities yours. Congratulations Anon, you're an inspiration.

Where does one get Total tools? Those look like pure unfiltered chinesium

What's wrong with Makita?

t. I don't even have wireless tools, just a random variety of ancient corded shit that nonetheless does the needful generally speaking

for me it's dongcheng/gaocheng

I get them from one of yhe arabs i work with
>chinesium
Yes but their good, total is the same as incgo if your familiar with it
>>3007940
Makita is expenisve
>>
>>3007940
Theyre the only major power tool company that hasnt been bought out by globohomo, so some shills on here naturally hate them
>>
>>3007679
Makita just means they started the trades 2008-2012 -ish before dewalt and the Chinese holding company that does ryobi and Milwaukee did their marketing push
>>
>>3007748
Think it’s concrete, concrete grinding is a thing flooring guys do a lot

For some reason they do it on a rolling stool rather than a purpose built concrete grinder
>>
>>3007940
People hate them because you can’t steal them and pawn them as easily as Milwaukee or dewalt

So the drug addicts on site will try to bully you into either of the brands and steal your batteries (newer ones) for theirs (abused older ones)

And / or steal your new tools to go get high for the weekend

Here in the third world those tools will be stolen

Can't judge you. Even the most basic Chinese stuff is good enough™ these days since brushless motors and newer battery tech became widespread

I run Milwaukee for batteryshit. I still break them. If I am breaking the same tool multiple times a year I get the festool and it doesn't break anymore. Milwaukee also has an incompetent warranty department so when I broke my multitool they sent me two new ones. Festool warranty is the best, at 2 years 9 months I send my tool back and say it's sparking or whatever and they completely refurbish it and send it back 100% free. That being said, both of them are not worth it unless your tools make you money or you're rich and just don't care.

>I dont want to deal with a bunch of non compatoble batteries
This. I buy corded tools whenever practical and then just stick with Makita for cordless because that's what I have batteries for.

Not bad, but your teacher sucks. Why did he let you pour the concrete first and then let you dig a hole to put it in? That’s weird. And your braces look like ass, but for a school project it ain’t bad.
Also, pic related.

Alot of folks use anglegrinders to cut tiles. A dedicated machine is expensive, unlike a stonecutting disc.

What basic tools should I have as a fatherless man in a single mom household to stop hiring drunk tradies that do sloppy jobs
>>
>>3011220
portable drill (with masonry, wood, and metal drill bits), 2 locking pliers, adjustable wrench, a hammer that weighs more than 250g, a set of screwdrivers, a multimeter, nails and screws, measuring tape, big pipe wrench. electric tape.

buy them one at a time, and learn what you can do with each. 3 years ago i was scared to handle a hammer drill, today i finished sanding the staircase ceiling to remove fire stains. the only tradies i hire now are plumbers because i don't want to deal with plumbing problems myself.
>>
>>3011272
Don’t most masonry guys run SDS hammer drills ? Never seen a guy just drilling concrete in a keyless chuck drill from an entry level Kit

i have both, unless the hammer function is absolutely needed (going through gravel or extra dense mass), the battery powered drill will prove more convenient 90% of the time. i'll pop an SDS bit into it and in it goes like butter. slower yes, but more precise and quieter also.
