Very nice video. Great help. Thanks.
No worries! It was pretty fun making it :)
My zip bursted lomg ago, but the fabric is closer to being too weak now, over 10 years of heavy use already 😅
Nice, I still have a bit of catching up to do, and I'm still in tact so far :)
Thanks for the information was helpful
Cheers I appreciate that. :)
How about the new WD-40 they have out now with silicone ???
So yer to answer that question the silicone from the WD 40 brand is great for lubrication. But the original WD40 compound (also from the WD40 brand) is more of a solvent than a lubricant.
This video is so under rated. He explains everything amazingly well. Thank you very much. Very useful ❤
You have just made my day, thanks so much, this has made me so happy :) And happy to help!
Could you daisy chain 2 batteries to goal zero?
Yep, sure can :)
Mate. You use the bump feed by tapping it on something solid like pavement or concrete while it's running to feed more line. You give it a few quick bumps and you're ready to keep going
Cheers :)
nice video !
Thanks, it was lots of fun to make it :)
Hi - I’m interested in this mower because I already have two 4 ah batteries from my ozito power tools - my major concern is if 6 adjustment levels is enough to be able to find the “goldilocks “ (just right) height adjustment level for my lawn .
Hi douglas. It kind of depends on the size of your lawn. If its huge you may need 6, as the original 2 wont recharge in time by the time you get through the 2nd pair. They will get to about 50% ish in my experience) But if you can finish the lawn before depleting the 2nd pair it wont be an issue.
@@suburbangardenshed Hi - thanks for your reply , sorry for the confusion - I was referring to the distance between the height adjustment levels of the mower. Parts of my lawn have some fairly serious dips in them so on my old petrol mower ( now recently expired) I needed to adjust levels on the fly. PS. I have edited the original post so it makes sense now .
@@douglasprager9435 Oh haha. Yer thats a bit of a hard one to call until seeing the dips. The 270mm width is a factor as well.
Should do a review on the new 120nm drill
Thank you that answered all of the questions I had about this stuff!
Glad I could help :)
Screw heads standards evolution is gradually: (oldest) 1 flat 2 Phillips 3 Pozidriv 4 Torx (newest) Philips isn't a standard anymore Pozidriv still is and Torx is slowly replacing it as of rn
Cheers. I just did a bit more research on this as this video was originally meant to be at the end of my drills vs impact driver video. (but it became too long) Ill be releasing a video in about a month and a half that covers the screw driver bits in alot more detail and cheers for pointing me in this direction.
@@suburbangardenshed Glad to help. I love how superior Torx are :)
i absolutely love my rush 12 2.0. its such an amazing bag. i just love watching videos of people talking about them because i love looking at the bag haha
I hear you. Its a weird addiction that we have ;) I also love tech review videos
I feel you 😅. I have both the 12 and 24. Love watching their videos.
use oil for rusty tools
cheers for the tip :)
is that why the last two pump spray bottles I filled with CRC 5.56 leaked like sieves from the head after a while? o-rings destroyed.
As in you sprayed WD40 on the CRC 5.56 bottles? If so WD40 would be the likely culprit for erroding the rubber O ring
@@suburbangardenshed No, I'm saying I put a product equivalent to WD40 (CRC 5.56) into a spray bottle, and it worked fine for a while then started leaking everywhere when used. At least, I'm assuming that WD40 and CRC 5.56 are equivalent.
does the 15.6 inch laptop fit in the rush 12 main laptop compartment?
My laptop is only 15 inch, narrow, and it fit very snugglly. So I don't know for sure, for you with a 15.6 but I reckon it's either going to be super tight or too big. The 24 is a very loose comfortable fit though so that may be the better choice.
@@suburbangardenshed alright, thanks! Greetings from Spain
Great review mate, much appreciated. I'm currently looking at getting one of these plus the prunning saw to replace my petrol-powered saw for lighter jobs.
Thanks so much :) I might have to do a review on the pruning saw in the future
i dont know why they wasting people time why not make it stronger put 2 batteries in it we all have more then one batery
I used duct tape to tape the trigger.
I could see that working as well. :)
Awesome! is the wd40 silicone version the same as regular silicone spray!
Yes, correct
Appreciate this!
No problem, I had fun researching this as well :)
Hope it clears up doggy puddles❤
On the wet mode it sure does :)
Ozito PXC Brushless Drill Driver is also excellent.
Agreed, and probably the best value for money I reckon
It's only a 10 minute job to remove the safety and spring from the trigger. Much more comfortable and better than worsening RSI in your hands.
You raise a good point about the potential of rsi. Do you have a link for a guide on how to do it?
I just love shopping at Bunnings because you can get some real bargains at times.I have been thinking of buying an electric mower as I have reduced my lawn size .I have quite a range of battery electric tools but most are Ryobi and this would have been the brand I would have purchased.But yesterday I purchased a Ozito mower on clearance for NZ$59 and a blower battery and charger for another $59.At that price I thought I would take a punt on buying some Ozito tools which i have always considered to be of low quality. I have watched few YT vidoes and although I have not used my mower yet I am pleased to see some good reports about them. I dont like the Ozito systen of raising the cutting height but I do like like your suggestion of lifting the mower up. I often think these cheap buys might be returns but mine looks brand new and unused and is probably now a deleted model but is the same model you are using.Even though it was cheap it still has the 5 year guarantee - so I cannot lose.
Yer I had a look recently and I can't find it so I thnk the mower is deleted. I recently upgraded to the 36V version (moved to a bigger yard) and I am about to film another review / guide video. But yer I have become an Ozito fan boy recently. Its funny as with the battery's we have to commit to a brand eco system.
Don't try and put 200 litres of oil in!!!
Don't worry, I cant afford 200L of oil anyway ;)
All 5.11 bags i have owned had the same issue. The zippers are trash for the price point. The stiching comes out or the zipper just falls off. An that was less than 5 months of normal duty use, which is sitting in the passenger seat with my paper work in it and going back and forth to my locker. Spend your money on military grade bags. It is an actual thing. A surplus assault pack can be had for as low as $24 and is almost indestructible with ykk zipers.
I guess we have just had different experiences with our bags. We can agree to disagree :)
5.11 bags only use YKK zippers..
@@jack_powell Doesn't matter what they use if they fall out or fall apart. Check the zippers on a surplus assault pack or field pack they are not what 5'11 uses. Chinese zippers arent the same as B compliant ones.
I have the Rush 24. I use it when I go to work and I think it's about 8 years old. I accidentally broke one of the pull tabs on the main compartment zipper, but I was able to fix it by tying a knot.
Nice fix. I broke a zip on another bag and I fixed it with a cable tie haha. 8 years is definitely a good run so far :)
Excellent review, just like the line trimmer review. I bought the 36v model because I had a few thick Jacaranda branches (about 11-14 inches) I needed to remove and cut up, as well as a whole heap of stuff around back that's probably around 6-10 inches. I can tell you that if you think your needs will exceed what this model can handle, go for the dual battery model. The extra money is well worth it and for a cordless chainsaw, it's a beast. Also for anyone new to chainsaws, I highly recommend checking out a channel called FarmCraft101. There's a whole playlist about chainsaws that provides invaluable info for any newbie, including a ton of safety info. (I won't post a direct link without permission because I believe that would be rude.)
Thanks so much :) Fortunately the trees that I had to cut were not too thick so the 18V version worked for me, but if I had bigger trees I would definitely use the 36V version.
Proper terminology would be "driver bits", not "drill bits". Driver bits can be used in screwdrivers, impact drivers and drills, but drill bits can only be used in drills unless you have have a chuck for your driver. Of course there are always exceptions, like drill bits with a hex base instead of the typical round one. Also, it is common for strange screws to be used for safety reasons. If you look at many mains powered appliances and power boards for example, you often find what looks like three pronged star heads with the prongs angled, not straight out from the center. They have a name, but I can't remember what it is. They are specifically used to discourage non-qualified people from opening the case because doing so can expose mains voltages. You can also come across charged capacitors that retain a high voltage for a fair while after the power is disconnected.
Good point I did drop the ball there haha. And yer having unique bits to stop non qualified people entering is another good valid reason.
Excellent vid….thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Your insight and knowledge is astounding. Thank you for sharing it, it truly is a pot of gold.
Thanks so much. I just decided to really go full nerd when researching it. I actually had lots of fun learning about it :)
good tips !
Thanks :)
Thanks!
Fantastic video, educational and fun
Thank you 🤗
Great video. Can you please do a video on the Ryobi one.
Great suggestion!
Avoid all sprays around paint shops of any type.
Good to know, cheers. I suppose that makes sense when I think about it :)
A trick I've used to save 10"s of thousands of dollars in machinery. Especially when compressed air runs in it. The compressed air hold humidity which in turn causes rust and premature wear on cylinders and bearings. Use (WD40 rust REMOVER) its not conventional WD40. It creates a film that also lubricated.. I've had machinery manufacturers tell me to replace a 20k motor for an issue. That I resolved with a 12$ can of Wd40 rust REMOVER. You must understand that this is relatively new technology that didn't exist 10 years ago. It's truly a game changer.
Yer some the specialist products are incredible that WD-40, CRC and Inox have engineered. Googling for an exact spray is almost a good choice before using with WD40 or Silicone. But I really appreciate that tip as I'm confident Ill be needing to deal with rust in the future.
very good
Thanks
This is the MOST COMPREHENSIVE explanation of WD-40 and silicone based products that I have heard so far. Concise and to the point without all the BS. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much. I know I personally get annoyed with un necessary rambling so I did put in a bit of effort to editing it out. So yer I'm glad it's appreciated :)
1. Cleaning --> WD40 (you can most likely use breaks cleaner to degrease stuff insead) WD40 was for a long time basically the cheapest stuff that´s it. 2. Lubricating --> fine machinery oil 3. Sealing --> silicone spray (rubber gasket around car doors for instance, basically winter proofing the vehicle so the seals are clean and don´t stick)
That's an even better way to describe it,cheers :)
@@suburbangardenshed Thank you, I only came up with it after watching your video, you gave me the idea, well done in the video mate, cheers.
Really big thanks for the video, so far the only one that explains the different types of sprays thoroughly. How would silicone spray act on bike chains? Would it be an effective method of protecting the chain? Or would i be better off using a bike lube (specialized lube) ? Or its better to use a bike lube and spray silicone over it? Love the video!
No worries and glad you liked the video. Personally I would use a a specialty product for it. WD 40 have a lubricant designed exactly for bike chains. Its called WD 40 Bike Chain Lubricant and it comes in a grey can. (In Australia anyway). Also sorry for my slower reply :)
so helpful!
Thanks. I really enjoyed researching this aswell :)
good video, can you talk about the difference between the batteries?
Thanks so much:). The batteries capacities are measured in amp hours. To simplify a 5amp hour battery will last 5 times as long as a 1 amp hour battery. Is that what you are asking? Pretty much all of mine are 4 amp hours
What about Silicone vs dry PTFE spray, the final battle?
That's a great idea for a future video. Thanks :)
U did a great job with that review well done
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. It was kind of fun making this video as well :)
Thanks! Good to see practical everyday use cases.
Thanks so much. Its always awkward to film these things so I'm glad its appreciated :)
because philips is way less usable than torx or square sockets, called Robertson.
I now agree. Its funny as I have been using Philips heads for years but I will now be a loyal Robertson user.
All screw types have pros and cons but I have no idea why Philips are still used since Pozidriv came along. They look similar but Philips only have 4 points of contact while Pozi have 8. The angle of the slots on Pozi is better too so much less chance of slipping.
Full disclosure, I didnt know about Pozidrivs until now so thanks for the tip :)
@@suburbangardenshed No worries, where are you? I don't think Pozi ever became a thing in the US, whereas it did in the UK. Phillips here are mostly used in flat-pack furniture. Robertson only really turn up in pocket-hole screws. By and large, Pozi are better than Phillips (less cam out) but personally, I am gradually switching to Torx which I find better again.
The better question is why do we still use outdated screw heads like philips, flat, and robertson when we have torx/star bits that are better in literally every way?
It is definitely time to upgrade the standard to torx or hex bits
I know right? xP But it just needs time. Most of the stores are still selling Pozidriv on pieces. But as a locksmith I'm using Torx now.
@@jimmyleblanc5372torx is also better than hex
noice!
