Cordless Power Tools? - Perfect Charging Station For Small Workshops - DIY Organizers

  • The downside to going cordless is having batteries and chargers all over the place.
    In this video, I build a simple DIY wall-mount power tool battery charging station for my cordless tool batteries and chargers. When I need to use my tools on the go I can pop the charger and batteries out to take with me.

    Those AEG tools look identical to those that are branded as Ridgid here in the US. Nice build though. I'm going to steal it for my Ridgids.

    • @Yackhammer75
      @Yackhammer75 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Ridgid are actually AEG but with a different tag for sale here in the US. Den of Tools has a pretty nice video explaining a lot of it. I too will be doing some creative borrowing for my Ridgids as well.

    Great project! I like the design, especially no messy cords! I wish we had that flexible plastic junction box with the snap on lid here in the US and those snap in wire connectors. So awesome! I appreciate the great designs that you create, Jean. Keep up the good work!

  • @EngineerMikeF
    @EngineerMikeF 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Neat installation. For working on a large job at a remote location, IIWMI'D take the whole battery station rather than grab parts. I particularly like the cord slots instead of large holes or taking the cord end apart & reassembling

    • @chadgarner230
      @chadgarner230 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed. Came here to say the same thing. Just put a handle on it and maybe a door that's easily removable so nothing falls out in transit.

    The amazing part of this is how you continually think up all of these projects. I love watching your videos! I have 4 different makers and all have multiple batteries. I was going to make a combo drill and driver holder with charger and battery storage, but perhaps it is better to separate them for ease of positioning on French cleats. Well done!

    With the way power tools are heading I doubt if making your charging station more compact is a good idea, I mean everything nowadays are available corded or with rechargeable batteries so it can only go bigger :D Nice build, thanx for sharing!

  • @nigellambert511
    @nigellambert511 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very neat, having just made a version I wish I had made a cupboard to hide the cables rather than using cable ties! Love the Wago connector blocks, really make life so much easier, although I believe you should have used the 5 way version therefore avoiding the need to double up when you added the power cord!

    Great idea. At some point I may look at something similar myself. I also use AEG tools over here in New Zealand (from what I gather, they are rebadged Rigid), and I have had no issues with them so far. I would be interested to see/hear what you have to say about them after using them for a while. Keep up the great work!!

    I love your shop setup and your design. The neatness of your shop is excellent. Very nice video. Curious why you didn't just use a small power box like we use in North America rather then the extra time, materials to make your own ( I can only presume you have an electrical background as I would never recommend the average person wire up a box themselves, they'd burn the place down).

    @scottmorris4914 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    There have been a number of fires caused by battery chargers. Batteries either be in charged or left in the chargers, have caught fire. So the suggestion for the chargers themselves, mount them in a metal cabinet. I think if you line the would enclosure with metal facing the charges, it should provide enough of a heat shield.

  • @Loosehead
    @Loosehead 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice one, added to my list of projects to do. Umm...I think you use chisels the other way round with the bevel down, otherwise they just dig deeper into the wood.

  • @dngriffiths8105
    @dngriffiths8105 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Some good ideas as usual. And you've always presented as a solid, good guy who's a fount of clever cost-effective solutions. But...
    The AEG sponsorship thing was way over the top, with their branding seemingly fit into absolutely every shot. I've never seen anything like it. Credibility is so hard to build -- you've worked hard for years to earn it, you've got it, don't risk tarnishing it for the sake of a sponsorship or two. The reality is that sponsors will come and go; and your reputation will always be your greatest currency, so protect it as the foundational piece that it is. Check out the Wood Whisperer's recent video on his losing the long-time sponsorship of Powermatic; it's a lesson in integrity. All the best.

  • @davidwood3751

    I wouldnt worry about making it more compact, if anything id allow for more batteries and things to charge in the future (i have 9 batteries in my kit amd that number will surely increase due to redemption when i buy new tools)
    But i rekon ill be doing something very similar when i get around to it

    Great to hear that you found a sponsor. I hope you don't mind me asking, but why are all other brands covered with tape? It's not like you are now owned by AEG, right? I think it's good to use tools from any brand, as long as they suit your needs. Just my two cents. The project itself is great, as always and has made me think about my setup. Thanks!

    • @TEAMproject2010
      @TEAMproject2010 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I noticed he chose screws as fasteners to demonstrate the AEG drill. This was likely a condition of sponsorship. In similar builds, he uses a brad nailer not screws.

    Hi Jean, great project and nicely executed. I'd be keen to hear your review of the AEG products as time passes and how alike / apart from De Walt they are.. What's happening with your cabinet saw, would love to see it properly in action and those electrical connectors - where can we find them as I've not come across them before and they look really neat and easy to use. Anyways, lotsa questions for you.. Regards, Mark (Jhb)

    • @jaypeeters

  • @SmartLifeEnthusiast
    @SmartLifeEnthusiast 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Saw you installing a 3-terminal Wago on the 3 leads, thus leaving no spare terminal for the "external" power lead, and immediately thought to myself: "Yep, been there, done that"

    • @SmartLifeEnthusiast
      @SmartLifeEnthusiast 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Then I saw you putting 2 wires together under a single terminal and I went "Oh no".
      I do feel like you should've used the 5-terminal Wago or at least a 2-wire ferrule to safely hold the leads together.
      If you _really_ want to put 2 wires together, do it with the internal socket wires, those shouldn't move thus won't put torque on the connection.
