Dewalt Brand Hand Held Electric Angle Grinder 13 Amp Plug Swap Out Exper...

In my "Dewalt Brand Hand Held Electric Angle Grinder 13 Amp Plug Swap Out Experiment [DEWALT ANGLE GRINDER]" video I go through the process of swapping out the 13Amp plug for a standard 110V US wall plug. I purchased this overseas brand new and due to the plug it was just collecting dust. Since tools are made to be used I figured I'd try to swap the plug out and see if I could get it to work.

What's Inside? Black & Decker Cordless Drill & Battery Pack Disassembly ...

See What's Inside this Black & Decker Cordless Drill & Battery Pack during it's disassembly. I also remove the battery pack from it's hard outer shell. It was an easy tear down that was done with mostly standard hand held tools. This disassembly satisfied my curiosity on what the internal workings of a cordless drill were. Pretty amazing how these lightweight all gears and components all worked together to create enough power to drive screws and drill bits. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

DIY Tactical Throwing Tomahawk Composite Handle Replacement From Repurpo...

This tactical throwing tomahawk took one too many bad trips at the backyard practice range. I hated to see this finely crafted and still useful piece of metal collect dust and rust so I decided to put a new handle on it. Just so happens I'd recently re-handled my pick axe with a new handle so had this old one laying around just begging to be repurposed. So I did just that by cutting it to length, cutting a slot for the blade to fit, and fastening it with some repurposed door hinge pins. For adhesive I used some gorilla glue and some JB Weld epoxy. Worked like a charm. I'd say it's not really a throwing tomahawk anymore...actually I guess it's not even a necessarily a tomahawk at all. It's more like a new and sharp hatchet or camping axe. After putting a "new" handle on it I grinder sharpened the blade. Back in working order now. Hope you enjoy!

Old and Dusty Vintage ENCO Brand Metal Cutting Bandsaw Brought Back to L...

I blew the dust off this older ENCO brand metal cutting bandsaw and got it fired back up into a working saw. It came without the sawblade installed so I go through the process of doing just that in the video. I cut a section of rebar as an example. I was pleasantly surprised that this old saw even worked but even more so as to how good it did work. After the video I did end up applying a lot of grease and oil to the fittings that move in order to keep them in good working order but also to keep the noise level down.
