Enjoy your tool.

**** you Adendorff.
I ordered online the following purposefully to avoid temptation.




And when I went to collect it I walked out with:



Apologies for the double pictures.

 

[pinball wizard]

what makes the drain plug key set special lol surely 99% of cases a regular socket or spanner will work?

Yeah. Those Renault's with their need for a square bit. R300 bucks vs making your own (which I did, but I lost it years ago).

 

[ToxicBunny]

Ahhh yes, Adendorff...

That place is horribly horribly dangerous and I avoid going in there like the plague... thankfully its far away from me, so requires a conscious effort to go there.

 

[WAslayer]

Some sump plugs are hex and some others even square.. this set seems to cover most of the hex and square ones out there..

If you have Allen key sockets, those will do fine too but, you don't typically find square drives in builders and the like..

 

[PhireSide]

Square plugs are one thing, but what grates my cheese is triple square bits.

Like Metric, Imperial, Torx and Allen wasn't enough to keep track of

If nothing else, their website is a pleasure to use.

Btw, the drill was R1.5k including two batteries, hence the bargain part.

Someone mentioned here a few weeks ago that Total and Ingco are the same.
Confirmed, my Ingco battery clips into the Total at work no problem.
Identical stuff

EDIT: No not my hand, I am a keyboard jockey by trade here at work

I'm awaiting your transformation of it. I saw someone on Reddit a while back restore some equipment as well, and they painted it with like an enamel white paint and it actually came out looking damn smart.

Not entirely sure I'll repaint it per se....

My first order of business is finding or making new blade guides since the upper and lower on this one have either been trashed or lost.

Special at Builders on Ryobi tools.

Bought a 10" Table saw for R2499.

You could probably take a chunk of metal and use a CNC machine to fashion something up, if you have access to it. I am not sure how the blade guides look on that saw but if it's like ones I've seen, it's just a metal ring with a groove in for the blade to run on.

But the nice thing with these older tools is how you can make a plan with just about anything laying about.

Enjoy!

A guide with sealed bearings would be much better.. less resistance, very little wear on the guide itself, since the bearings are hardened steel and if the bearings wear out, cheap as chips and super easy to replace..

Yeah its pretty much a ring with a block and some bearings at the top, and a block with some bearings at the bottom.

Worst case scenario I jerryrig something to make do for the next little while until I can order some properly machined parts for it.

They are legit

They just don't sell to fishpaste peddlers



In all seriousness I am not sure what to say, I've never used them before but their reviews seem good overall. I blame COVID19 and the supply chain shortages.

Sorry, for some reason I can't remove the italics from my text. Tried clicking that skewe "I" at the top to no avail
