    I personally would add a Dremel and an angle grinder to the list. I regularly have to cut down threaded bar or bolts to the correct length and its so much easier than doing it by hand....I also like making lots of sparks, its the pyromaniac in me...

    Router is a very useful tool, at least for me. Besides chamfers and templates, you can easily make some accessories for this tool, like router table, radius template, track etc. Recently I used it as a plainer.

    Thanks for the info. I totally agree with the cord and dust collection hose situation. I see a lot of RUclipsrs say they love using cordless power tools, then hook it up to a vacuum. Sort of defeats the purpose. I also agree with your assessment of the DeWalt trim router. I have a porter Cable version, which is identical except for the color and brand. It's flimsy and the plastic thread on the depth adjuster is just horrible. The DeWalt compact router has the aluminum sleeve which glides smoothly, but it is a bit large as a trim router. thanks!

    For your battery problem: you can get adapters for all the brands pretty cheap off ebay or amazon. So no need to get a whole new system

    I went through 2 fully charged 5AH packs on my dewalt impact in about an hour the other day. The trouble with the small packs like yours is the peak current capability and stress on the cells. They can't come close to what the 2 way and 3 way (flexvolt) packs can produce, so your maximum torque is limited and they'll trip out the stall protection feature more as a result as they stall more easily. In terms of balance, I find them top heavy with the small packs, bottom heavy with the big packs and just right with the 4AH and 5AH packs on them. However in a tight space the small packs would win for sure and 95% of the time you don't need ALL the torque anyway, so fair enough. Just thought I'd point out the other deciding factors for anyone else keenly reading all the comments :-)

    • @francistaylor1822
      @francistaylor1822 3 года назад

      I find it helps to have a variety of batteries, I have 1.5AH through to 9AH depending on usage smaller ones are a lifesaver if you are holding your hands above your head and larger ones can benefit brushless and also less time to recharge;

    A tool you forgot? Well, a multitool!
    like the makita DTM51Z (I am a makita guy), it does so much, especially if you have to make a cut in something you can't really put a jig saw in.
    Saved my ass so many times, i got a brand one for my battery system (makita if you were wondering) but you can get them cheap as heck. Usually with a power cord, i opted for the battery one and i am really glad i did, it's so much more usefull for small bids and bobs now.
    It even comes with a delta sander attachment!
    It cuts wood, concrete, stone (i actually used it to cut my tiles in the garden to size with, really not why i bought the tool) and so much more, it can replace an angle grinder if you have to make small cuts (like half a CM if you have the correct blade to longer cuts).
    If you use it for its intended purpouce (dont try to make a long cut in steel for instance) this really is a multi functional tool for almost everything you wouldn't know which tool to use for!

  • @valdiorn

    I have the same Mirka sander. It's probably the most "high end" tool I've got. I bought it specifically because I *hate* sanding. It's boring and messy. But having an awesome tool to do the job makes it a lot less awful. I love this thing, it's super quiet but also very powerful, and if you hook it up to an extractor, it's completely dustless. I use it with the Abranet pads which, despite being 3x more expensive than normal sandpaper, is definitely worth it.
    Sanding is now one of my favourite jobs :)

    I don't have a workshop so I do most of my dust-creating diy outside that's why I have tons of makita batteries and a couple of chargers - we're about to move to a larger house where I'll probably find a more decent power-outlet-ish place to work in and I'm excited about finally being able to have a miter saw!

    At a shop I worked at we made our own dominos. Building things from oak or birch boards you would always have some cutoffs and they don't need to be big, an 11mm strip is enough to make a 10mm domino. So we would have a corner with a bunch of strips with different thicknesses and when we needed a particular domino we would just plane the strip to the correct thickness, I could easily get them to 0.01mm accuracy, but it of course depends on your planer. And then we would just cut them to width and length on the table saw and chamfer the ends so it slides in the hole nicely. This method has it's drawbacks but with a little work you end up with dominos from scraps.

You could throw it together using MDF, computer fans, power adapter, and a handmade or a store bought filter. Air filtration has always fascinated me and I’d love to see your take on one. Maybe build one then after learning how to, make a fancy looking one. Great videos, keep up the awesome videos!!

    I noticed all of your Dewalt tools have the 18V battery. In Canada most of ours are the 20V battery. I picked up the Dewalt biscuit jointer, and the cordless Dewalt router and both the square and round sanders. I am very happy with my cordless tools, and like you said, one battery to rule them all.

    • @achappel

      @blahorgaslisk7763 3 года назад +2

      @@achappel It's probably a legal thing. Differences in consumer protection laws can be tricky. Both names do have some merit. 18V is the voltage you can expect from a full battery pack under light load, while the same battery will measure at about 20V without a load. To the manufacturer it's tempting to go with the higher number, as more is better in marketing.

    That said, I think that a dowelling machine rather than a biscuit joiner may be better. You can do just about everything you can with the biscuit joiner but dowels work as loose tenons when furniture making, especially putting legs onto a table etc.

    • @achappel

    Battery adapters are a good option, providing the voltage is the same. I currently have Dewalt 18v, Milwaukee 18v and Ryobi 18v all with adapters and using Makita 18v batteries. I had a lot of older Dewalt NiCd with the old style batteries and started buying Makita tools. Found adapters on eBay for around $30AUD and was able to use all my old Dewalt again and now I just buy the the tool I like for either performance or value and use Makita batteries. Have been doing this for over 2 years with no problems.

    Good tips and I fully support that ditch the idea of impact on normal drills at 12:00. If you really have need to drill into concrete, really, the only good option is to get SDS Plus style machine. They're 100x better at drilling into concrete than any normal "impact drill". Unfortunately they're usually quite pricey tools, but worth it if you really have the need for one.

    Hey Alexandre, great content!! As someone who works with 3D printers and have woodworking as a hobby, I would recommend you to build an enclosure to your printer!
    It would be a nice video, and you might want to keep those dust particles out of the shafts, bearings and motion gears.
    The wood dust really suck up every drop of lubricant you've got there, and this could lead to premature wear on those parts.
    That considered, I would also make the enclosure removable, this due to filaments that require more cooling to print, like PLA.

    Nice review! I wish they would standardize battery packs for power tools, so you could pick and choose between brands. They did it with dry cells and phone chargers, hopefully one day they will do it with power tool batteries. One tool I would add to your list is a multi-tool with an end cutting blade; these are super useful for cutting out box holes for electrical work, and cutting holes in places like the back of cabinets, or cutting in floorboards and other places where space is limited. Most have a scraper attachment, good for scraping off old paint or vinyl tiles. They also normally come with a detail sanding attachment, but on all the ones I've had, the sanding attachment is a bit rubbish.

    • @towtruckaj
      @towtruckaj 3 года назад

      Why would they do that, It incentivizes having a better brand lineup, If one company has one tool far superior to the rest but every other tool sucks then the better companies would lose sales for that one item in their lineup, But if the batteries are different not only do the brands compete with better batteries and chargers but they also win in they have really solid lineups If every tool in their lineup is better than the competition with the exception of a few they will get more people buying their products and the few tools they didn't do well with will still sell because people don't want a new battery system. Personally, I went with Milwaukee, best at pretty much everything, pricier but 2nd to none with pretty much all their tools.

      I have the same Dewalt hammer drill he has and it will do light duty concrete work just fine. You need to use it on the highest speed setting, with a decent chisel head bit. I think that's where most people screw up. If you do that, it will go through most residential concrete and concrete blocks pretty easily. Much better than a drill without the hammer function. It's fine for small jobs like mounting cabinets on a concrete wall, which is really the intent of the tool. If you need to drill holes bigger than like 3/4in, or you're doing serious remodeling in a concrete space, then yeah get a bigger SDS type hammer drill.

      I am one of those guys who has a dad that always had a hammer drill, not just the extra noice feature but the real deal.
      I would not even consider a drill that is not a hammer drill and not SDS to drill in concrete, and i do so on a weakly basis for my work. I have a hard time explaining to people why they'r extra noise drill is sh.. but when i let them try a proper one (corded makita) they usually will agree with me in a hartbeat.
      Even if you are just a "ill just hang something ones a year" guy get yourself a SDS hammer drill, it will cost you a bit more but it'll be worth it. My dad got a Bosch 40 years ago, and it just recently broke due to much use (he is not a "ill just hang something ones a year" kinda guy) so we had to replace it (read the business we own has) and we went for a makita. Not that many more features, just new and fresh but will last us at least 40 years more. If you use it ones or twice a year it'll last you a lifetime.
      And get the corded one, unless you use it daily in odd positions! Nothing is worse than having to walk down multiple flights of stairs to replace your battery!

    I get where you are coming from but surely the one single most useful tool is a Shopsmith. The basic model is a table saw, drill press, lathe, 12 inch disk sander, and horizontal boring machine. You can also rout and shape with it. Accessories allow you to do much more. One in decent shape can be found in the $300-$400 range. The newer models are very similar but mostly just have a larger table system and better rip fence.

    3:03 : It is. I have the very same sander myself, it’s great 😊. The only thing better would be a Festool sander, but it would cost approximately twice the price of the Mirka sander. A bit pricey for DIY. But i bought a Festool jigsaw after messing around with a cheap one for nearly a decade. No alternative to Festool when it comes to jigsaws, imho.
    An essential tool you forgot is the Bosch Ixo 😄. Not that powerful, but you won’t turn all the little screws and nuts by hand like a caveman ever again when you own one.

    Instead of a dedicated lamello machine/biscuit jointer there is also an attachment for an angle grinder. Overall much cheaper and does the job as well as the dedicated machine. Much better if you don't need it as often and/or don't need an angle grinder that often.

    I'm all Festool (corded and suction). Milwaukee battery machines, but lately I have drifted a bit towards Makita. Seems like really good value/quality for the price. I believe it comes down to what you're are building and how you're using your tools. If you are cutting treated 4x4 all day for construction, don't buy the Kapex. If you are making fine furniture with high precision consider the Kapex. In the end it is much more the person and skills that decide the outcome than just the tools. One tip. Don't buy tools you think you need, buy the tools when you need it.

    I recently bought the impact driver because i saw it in your videos and i am amazed how easy it is to work with screws now. No hard pushing on the Drill, no messed up screws, even lighter than the drill i think. I am not sure, but i think with a bigger battery you even have more Power with the impact driver. Please correct me if i am wrong.

    I use the 12v impact driver the most, the drill I only use for drilling holes. I drill less holes than I put in screws. My hobbies and work area is completely different than yours. I use aluminum much more than wood. So my tool list is different. More metal files and less sanding.
    I like your channel and enjoy the creative process and I would like to subscribe but I will not support a channel that uses so much background music. I enjoy your channel enough that I do check back once in a while to see if you are continuing to use background music but unfortunately it's still there. This video in particular is the "style" that I prefer, you share with us and use monolog only. That is what I am personally looking for, and I have found a few useful things in the couple of videos that I have watched so thank you for that.
    Understand, I am not just some grumpy old bastard yelling, "turn down the music." RUclips and other video sources are my only form of entertainment and learning. I previously worked 30+ years as a carpenter and changed professions to tool and die, mostly with emphasis on CNC programming and CAD design. At home I have dived into teaching myself electronics and 3D printing over the past 6 years. I am also very hard of hearing, so I have to turn up videos to hear what people are saying. I also hate wearing headphones all the damn time.
    So often I am sitting here watching videos in the evening with the volume up louder than the average person. I WANT to hear what you have to say and I pay close attention. Now insert some crap background music (while the volume is way up), I have to rush to turn it down before the neighbors get pissed (apartment living sucks but it's what I have to do for now). Finally the music has finished and I can actually listen to what is being said and turn the volume back up, but wait I missed a whole sentence, gotta rewind a tad but I went a tiny bit to far and got more loud crappy music. This is the part that I do not enjoy, the volume control dance... I cannot change how shitty my hearing is, but I can change if I watch a channel or subscribe permanently. This wouldn't even be a problem if the volume of the background music was much lower, but the opposite is true, and it's always way louder than the spoken part of almost every video that uses background music.
    So there is my request, please adjust the volume of background music so that people like me don't have to do this inane volume control dance, or don't, I guess it doesn't really matter. I am just some random putz on the internet and my thoughts and/or concerns really don't matter much in the sea of humanity, heh... Regardless of my issues you do have excellent content, please keep it up and I am certain that your regular viewers appreciate it very much.

    Second hand is a good option for powertools, as long as the batteries are OK too. Often the tool itself is more than OK, just some battle scars. The batteries are done for, and replacing those is just as expensive as buying a new powertool.
    Also, speaking of batteries. stick to one type of brand and/or batterie platform. It makes live a lot easier to swap batteries between the tools and not have to charge a bunch of different types. Usually all brands are fine, Bosch, Makita, DeWalt... whatever, all perfect brands.
