#5 part 2, if those reverse out with backing the screw I'm all in - been having issues needing to remove toggle bolts and dry wall anchors for years as I fix original installs.
One of the best things about the last 10-15 years is the tool systems with interchangeable batteries. I used to have cordless tools with their own batteries but I never used them enough or exercised the batteries like they needed and they eventually died. With the new systems I use the batteries plenty by switching them between devices. Drill, saw, little chainsaw, blower, vac, etc.
I assume you mean between devices from the same manufacturer... I've seen very few tools that could use batteries made by another manufacturer.
(Just bought my kids' robotics team a cordless router that can use Makita batteries (which they have) but the Makita tools won't work with the router's batteries.)
Yeah a real interchangeable standard would be nice, but there's no profit motive for it so it'll probably never happen. Best I've seen is adapters that will allow certain brand devices to work with certain brand batteries.
#9 Yeah, those will last a good 20-30 seconds of driving, giving you just enough false confidence to think you can drive at regular speed on snow and ice until they all pop off at once and you're in a ditch.
You can drill a circular bore hole in the post, and they slot right in. No/minimal nails required in many cases. VERY helpful if you are putting in full-round uprights.
I assume the next 4x4 (or equivalent) upright with matching holes drilled through. Stick it in the hole in the ground at an angle, then stand it up plumb and fill in dirt or concrete around the bottom.
Yeah, those will last a good 20-30 seconds of driving, giving you just enough false confidence to think you can drive at regular speed on snow and ice until they all pop off at once and you're in a ditch.
*points up* who are you, Homer Simpson? O.o - U don't drive around with snow-chains on, u only use them when u are stuck and/or have to drive area you are 120% certain u will get stuck in. (IE often is a clue u need proper winter tires)
I’ve also seen much smaller versions that you would attach to a handheld drill, and then use two hoses for it. That might last longer, as the motor would be in the drill, or at least be easier to clean after saltwater?
I’ve heard of a few people who use the m12 version to do water changes on salt water aquariums. The m18 should be fine too. Instructions say not to pump brine though. Definitely give it a good clean after using
big bucket of water, put the output hose back into the bucket, let it run long enough to reach equilibrium then swap out the water, repeat once or twice and should work out well enough
I rebuilt a pump for use offshore. It had to be painted with a 4 part paint that cost our company 10k for a gallon of each part. The paint came with instructions that said if I tell anyone the process to use it I could be sued as well as the company I worked for.
The pump we built was worse. We had to cobble it together to make it pass hydrotest. Test for leaks under pressure. But it was a 6 month wait for them to get a new one so they were OK with that.
As described by Sacred Cow Shipyards, "Salt water is LIQUID HATE, that wants to destroy anything and everything it ever comes in contact with. SO, of course, people keep trying to PUT STUFF IN IT."
My understanding is the water shouldn't ever reach any of the mechanical bits, so it should(?) be fine? Question mark? Bilge pumps are designed for salt water, so if this thing isn't suitable, there's certainly options out there.
Maybe just run some fresh water through it when you're done.
Yeah I was sort of thinking as a portable battery powered bilge pump for when you get water in stupid places or to use with a hose for cleaning the deck and such.
If the water didn't reach the mechanical bits, it wouldn't do anything because the screw IS a mechanical part. I can confirm that water doesn't reach the *electrical* bits unless you're really doing it wrong.
And yes, run fresh water through it when you're done.
#3 Asia needs this because they don’t have two abnormally strong 30 year old Mexican dudes that can carry shit like this up stairs without batting an eye
Hah true but that doesn't really matter if you just need functionality. I grew up with one that had hose connections on both ends of the pump to easily get all the water that would accumulate on our pool cover over the winter

Cut the ends with snips like you do any other zip tie

They're meant to get you out of stuck spots, not for driving on

they dont get you unstuck though, the break instantly.

If they break instantly it might be that the rim design has them in conflict with the brake caliper too.

Id probably suggest running fresh water from the hose through something like this anyway after a use.
relsky
Salt water kills anything and everything mechanical after a while.
But yeah, it would work in salt water. Just clean it very thoroughly after.

NickRivieraMD
The water must reach the impeller for it to function. It shouldn't interact with the motor's internals but it won't be good for the seals over time.

There are pumps where the medium does not come into contact with the pump, they don't have a big throughput though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump
