2024 Bobcat E20 compact excavator review
Buying an excavator was never something I would have considered but now rental prices are the same as a monthly payment and at 0% APR for 4 years is better than renting at 500 a day.
Ephesians 2:8-10 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" 9: "Not of works, lest anyone should boast." 10:"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Milwaukee m18 Fuel line trimmer Failed 2nd time
Переглядів 169Місяць тому
Milwaukee m18 Fuel line trimmer failed again, will send back for warranty 2nd time. This tool is great when it’s working, very strong and does the job, yes it burns up batteries fast, but also allows for a break and the fast charger is a must.

    I bought the Milwaukee last September. It’s now in the shop for warranty work after it started surging then slowing down continuously. Tried a different battery and still did the same thing. How Milwaukee handles my warranty claim will decide if I ever buy another of their products.

    Breaking news Tim from Canada.. reviews are out.. the new or your old Milwaukee fuel M 18 quick LOK . is burning batteries meaning that when you are using your system your battery are burning up at the back when you take them out. Sometimes there is white powder that will be discharged from them. There is videos of this on the Internet…… you have a big box. I don’t understand why you cannot put the handle on this unit…… so to sum up this review the Milwaukee, M 18 fuel quick.LOK is burning batteries when they are inside using them

    In my nail gun, I side leftover nails behind a full strip. Just trim the plastic so it bumps up next to the full strip so you're not wasting nails. A lot of newer nail guns stop at 3 or 4 nails so you don't dry fire guns without nails to prevent damage.

    I’m 73 and have bought many new vehicles in my adult life and to this day I have never let a dealership change my oil even though they give you “free” oil changes with most new car purchases. And so far I’ve never let anyone but myself change my oil on any of my vehicles and as long as I’m healthy enough to do them I don’t plan to deviate. I’m an old school drag racer and still practice oil change intervals around 2,500 to a max of 5,000 miles depending on the vehicle and the driving conditions. I have been using the Mobile 1 0w40 European blend for many years because of the additive package in it that I like. Rat 540 has a good write up on the comparison of this and other oils. The only negative thing about the European blend is a slightly higher chance of catalytic converter contamination because the additive package of which does not concern me.

    • @tradesmenlife
      @tradesmenlife 6 місяців тому

      Wow I thought I was the only one who thinks this way, everyone is so lazy and just want to be serviced , I saw these kids goofing off at the dealership taking keys for service and said I will never give them my keys, free or not, Good Man! Yes there are a few guys who make their own oil because of that, i think it’s a diesel parts company

    • @xGR1MxREAPERx
      @xGR1MxREAPERx 3 місяці тому

      Why? Most warranty’s you have to have oil changed by certified shop. Even valvoline is certified lol.. if they fuck something up they put a new engine in your truck? If you mess something up you out a new engine in your truck… you guys are retarded… those places change oil on hundreds of vehicles a month but you don’t trust them huh? 😂😂😂😂

      Ok my old man, I'll take time and explain to you my point. First of all, I'm in the trades for over 10 years myself - I deal with tools, vans, tool boxes etc. So i know what I'm talking about. Second thing, if you're doing a durability/crash test - don't be afraid to damage it, comment "I'll fix it" made me lol. Third thing. Nobody is sprinkling their toolboxes from a hose, waterproofness is kinda not as important factor - toolboxes mostly kept in the van or on site. A little water from rain while transported won't harm. Smashing box with a flexible hollow upvc pipe? Seriously. Could take a long balloon, you'd definitely not need to fix it after. Flipping boxes on a wobbly table, that basically take most of the impact on itself. Lame, come on I don't know man. You're "trying" to smash it, but at the same time you want to save it so you can use it later(i guess), that's why you're saying "I'll fix it". Then why would you decide to smash in the first place? If you really want to show a stress test - load the boxes, pull them down from a high curb, will the wheels survive? Sprinkle any latches/moving mechanisms with sand/wood dust, show us will they still work, if yes, how effective. Drop it off from about 20 inches on the concrete floor, as if it would fall out from a decent size van. Will those drawers hold in place or you'll end up collecting your tools from the floor? I'm sure you are a pro in whatever trade you are, bless you and thank you for your service. But after watching this video I had a feeling as if I saw one of them wrestling shows or like a cheap porn, where actors are not even trying to put any effort into showing affection or some emotions. You just see it's fake right, that's what makes this video cringe. This way or another. I appreciate your efforts in doing the stuff on UA-cam, good luck on that. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of knowledge you can share. Just find your own special approach to the viewers, be honest, genuine and think in advance what will you show, what will you say. Invest into quality camera, lights, filters, courses how to act on UA-cam, how to do videos etc. With the right approach you can forget about working in the field, i understand age is not making life easier - become a UA-cam blogger, I'm sure you can triple, quadruple your income in a few years. Again, with the right approach. Examples of interesting tool box tests: ua-cam.com/users/shortspZV3uZ5wkNM?si=J5t7XjnIzBsLJsrk ua-cam.com/users/shortsZPbeISmk4ts?si=b5bJVCblTIoeNSnw Good luck.
