      A question Frank: do you use your Disklok at all times - even a quick trip to the shops? Lots of cars are stolen off driveways, so overnight use of the Disklok makes sense. But is it a bit big, heavy, and cumbersome for short shopping trips? Incidentally, made a point of checking lots of cars parked at my local supermarket; didn’t see a single Disklok! Lots of Stoplocks, but no Diskloks.

    • @frankslittleworkshop
      @frankslittleworkshop 3 дні тому

      Hi Mark, I mainly only use mine over night on my driveway. It's not really suited for use when your just popping in to the shops. Having said that, it takes me less than 15 seconds to fit it when I do. So in theory I could use it all the time. Hope that helps 😁👍

    Really excellent! Yes, agreed, now that someone has come up with the idea we can all improve it such as with a stop at the back to prevent the sled from traveling further than where the blade just touches the fence. An adjustable stop would also allow one to cut band saw boxes or inside cuts by stopping the cut before the fence. Very useful and extremely well narrated and presented. Thank you for the idea.

      @shaun30-3-mg9zs 😁 Thanks Shaun. I have enough trouble with tripping over stuff in the workshop, so I'm trying to keep the floor as clear as possible... and this works a treat. I'm glad it wasn't 15 feet... that would have been a bit useless 😆. Thanks for watching mate 😁 👍

      @frankslittleworkshop 18 днів тому

      @rasmo243 😁 Thanks mate. Yep, it feels like it's got quite a bit of life in it. It feels like it's more than sturdy enough to take all that I can throw at it. I think the square is an old header from where the old garage door was. I think I previously went across to the opposite wall. Where the square is was previously an outside wall, so not likely an electrical outlet. Thanks for watching as always 😁👍

But as long as my videos help people get the most out of their tools, then I'm a happy chappy 😁. Thanks so much for watching Janice 😁 👍

    3HP is fine on a 13A supply. It`s just the initial inrush of current that might be a bit high. 3HP is about 2250W and a 13A supply should be okay up to about 4800W. So you should be well in. If it blows a fuse on start up then you can get slow blow 13A fuses.

    • @frankslittleworkshop
      @frankslittleworkshop 23 дні тому

      @limpet9 😁 Hi Limpet, it has been OK on the 13A (I haven't used it much recently). But I will eventually get a 16A socket installed. Until then I am avoiding any heavy use and always ensure other current hungry devices on the same ring are off (heaters etc). So I am always mindful of the current draw 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

Sorry that the original question still got through to you. My edited question was: "A few questions... Is this brushless and does it have all-metal gearing?

    I have this model. My mud guard can't go in all the way so it usually falls off when i knock it, otherwise, a nice trimmer.

      @frankslittleworkshop 24 дні тому

      @porkbone42 🤔 That's a bit strange. If it is a defect then you are entitled to return or exchange it (if you have only had it a short while). I know it's hassle sending it back but it may be worth a try. Mine is still the best strimmer I have owned so I'm more than happy with it 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

      @karlpopewoodcraft 😁 Thanks Karl, it's looking good so far. I was going to get the 15m, but in reality, I wouldn't use it. But I do have another hose (another 10 meters) with the same fittings. So if I need it I'll just connect the two. But for in the workshop this is perfect 😁. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍.

    Hey Frank....thanks for the video..... the only issue I have with these small line retractable hoses is that they restrict the air flow...... But for blowing off and tyre inflating they are ok...... I had a similar line which I had for general use and to connect to my sandblaster...... so it really restricted the operation......changed for a larger flow line.........you have a decent compressor so it seems a shame to use such a small line? Thanks for the content and of course your time producing these excellent videos!

    • @frankslittleworkshop
      @frankslittleworkshop 24 дні тому

      @adam-qf2vz 😃 Hi Adam, your 100% correct. For heavy consumption tools, the air flow restriction would be an issue. For general workshop use (for me) this is just perfect because it's handy. If I need more flow I will just use the other hose that I have connected as it is a slightly larger bore 😁. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching 😁 👍
