Using tools right

Post by sprintcyclist » Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:28 pm

When I have the right tools for a job, the job is safer, it goes well, and the finished product is a pleasure.
When I do NOT have the right tools for a job, it is dangerous. Stop, the result will be poor and that will reflect on me. So I stop.

You don't need 'named' tradesman quality tools for each and every job. 'Makita' is beautiful, 'Renegade' is quite adequate.
You need to now how to use your gear and what it can do.

If you use a cheap dirty circular saw blade set badly for 10's of meters of hardwood, you will have problems. Stop.
It will be dangerous. It will give a poor result.

If you use a ratchet handle from a socket set to undo tight nuts/bolts, it will break. Stop.

If you are straining, somethings wrong. Stop.
If you are swinging the hammer hard. Stop, Maybe get a bigger hammer.
If that screw is not coming out. Stop, think about it. I have quite few ways to loosen it up BEFORE you round off the head.
Once you have rounded the head off, then we have another problem.

If you do not know why, stop, use google or ask.

How do I post them here from my phone?

I tried a while ago but the image was too big and the process got very complex.

I send pics from my phone to my email and then download/resize/save to my computer from there but, yeah, it can get complicated.

Make sure you remove any location data (GPS) before you upload.

I can download it and if it is in the file, I can find where you live if you don't. if i can... anyone can.

The link below helps explain my point and how to remove it.

The point is Nom is that if i can see the image, i can download it. Then I can see what is inside it.

Tis stuff is in the first block or blocks of a file.

i have written code to unpick it in the past. It is free text, you can see it by dumping the file, no special tools required.

BO has no control over that.

Bought an impact driver. A 'Renegade' brand. Trade Tools own brand, 12V.

I have had various Renegade gear for over a decade. They are quite ok.
Not a tradesman top quality brand. For what I am doing, more than capable.
Have a project in mind and this will make a big difference.
My drill is not really suited to this sort of work. It'ld be hard work on the drill, the battery, me and the bits.
With the impact driver, I can use my drill for drilling holes, my impact driver for driving screws in
