2:11 I have the same charger. you only have to set it one time, but it definitely doesn't associate the sound with individual batteries, it will just use that sound for notifying about all the batteries, i think yours changed again because you swapped them too quickly.
The blade advantage is in the ability to make curved cuts without slipping and going in a straight line. The material is sound deadener which needs curved cuts. I met the maker of the video, so this is how I know.
You can daisy chain zip ties for more length. I actually do small loops with the tiny zip ties, comes out looking like a plastic throwing star. Those are by far, among everything we've bought, all the money I've spent, our cats' absolute most FAVORITE toys...
My thought, almost exactly. If I were testing as he did, I would have interlaced both skinny zip ties around the post. Left one into the right one's catch and vice-versa. Having said that, zip ties are not nearly as strong as people would like to believe. That and I would never secure them around a post spinning that fast and use them to hit anything. That's just a recipe for exactly what happened with his large zip ties in the video.
You could try the strimmer hack with stainless steel cable ties (or "zip ties" as you Americans call them). Also, tighten them up really well with pliers to get extra clicks, not just hand tight. Come to think of it, you could even sharpen up the steel cable ties to make something really dangerous!
I liked your comment, but would not suggest people doing it, as just today my 20volt toy 3/4 scale black n decker shot a 1cm chunk-o-stick direct into my forehead using thin nylon string, it was unpleasant for a few moments ... cant imagine the force a spinning stainless steel razorblade would have introduced
you cant do that last one when it's freezing outside (evidence of the snow and frost around you), plus double up on the smaller ziptie next time. the smaller ones will offer more resistance to breaking over the larger zipties.
How in the world does something like these things get so many views? I suppose there mustn’t be much interesting content for DIYers on TikTok. Great review and you earned a new sub. Scott
Forget where i heard this, but some platforms count seeing the thumbnail of the video as a view whether it's watched or not. Maybe even Twitter does it??
The battery hack will allow you to hear it if you’re off doing something else because the music plays more continuously rather than a couple of beeps and it’s done. I don’t know how long the beeps go off. Like my coffee maker beeps five times, softly. If I’m not in the room I may miss it and will have to go check to see if it’s ready. That seems like a good hack. I watched a designer/home decor show that used the bottle for the drilled shavings hack.
Very good point....my hearing is really bad thanks to decades of machinery exposure. The music helps remind me the charger has done its job. Originally, my first charger didn't make any noise other than the beeps. One day my helper asked me if I had lost my cell phone. I asked why....he said he heard music from near the charger. What he had done was accidentally put it in music mode, by pulling out the battery and reinserting. I was puzzled about that for yrs, because there was no mention in the instructions then of the hack.😂
This is a cool video, I was actually a little sad it ended so soon. Lol. Please make more.👍 I’ve seen the saw dust collection idea going around with a few different applications… I think I saw someone using a hose onetime to accomplish the same thing. I agree it’s a pretty cool idea.
I had to try that Makita chime hack. It only worked on my dual charger, my single charger that came with the set doesn't make noise. It was kinda fun though lol
I also have an ego string trimmer and personality I wouldn’t risk damaging it by putting something in or on the spool that could damage the motor or overload the battery. Best to just stick within the manufactures recommended string gauge limit. The oscillating tool hack: that’s a big nope on that one. Just use the blades that are designed to go on the tool. Or find a different tool for that type of cutting job.
I like your observation. I wonder if the threads on PVC match the inside threads on the bottle (or are close enough). The OP would have done it that way if it were feasible.
The bottle one seems like it will actually come in handy at work, most of tgebareas I'm working in i don't have to clean up the dust or whatever at worksite too much but every once in a while I've got to go in the admin area and i usually use painter's tape to fix an envelope ok the wall underneath anywhere i have to drill a hole in the wall to catch all the dust but this looks more effective
#2 is a great idea from someone who seems to be constantly drilling into drywall. #3 might be useful on some rubber matt, but sketchy AF, and #4 who has zip ties that long, my toy weed eater would required 18 inch ones (yes I just measured and that's the longest I have) so if you gotta go out... just get string. Its like 12 bucks for my oddball size and the spool has lasted like 5 seasons
Combine the zipties, so that they hold each other to get more grip and length ;)... Probably will still break I guess but cannot hold back this tip... Greetz
In my chargers, once I set the tune it does that in all batteries. You don't have to 'tune' it for each battery. As far as the sawdust catcher....that's what a dustpan or vacuum is for.....or a helper. The blade thing is dangerous and the zip ties just dumb.
Love the graphics for the scoring Pretty sure the makita battery hack is for a scenario where multiple batteries n chargers r running n u wanna identify each uniquely via sound, still a feature i guess
The Makita one isn't so much a hack as a built-in feature. All you have to do is read the manual and it tells you all about it. It's only on the rapid charger tho
a week ago I installed a CO detector in one of my tenant's living room. I had to make 2 small holes through the wallboard. So I folded a piece of paper in half and attached it to the wall with painter's tape just below the drill points.
On the first tip, use a reducer instead of a straight elbow. If you went from a 2" reducer elbow down to the size you used, would have allowed you more working room & easier catch as it would resemble the commercial version it is modeled after. On the Weedeater, you failed to take into consideration the weight difference on the zip ties. That makes a huge difference. I would have given you a thumbs down for sure it there was no burb. Thanks!
You didn't give the hooked blade on the oscillating tool a chance. The only reason I own an oscillating tool was I saw Chris Notap's video showing how to attach the blade (ua-cam.com/video/SgCam8t3670/v-deo.html). I was cutting a lot of cardboard at the time, and it was like a hot knife through butter. Since then I found the official hooked cutting tool for oscillating tools, but the hacked one seems to be much sharper.
Just ignore the naysayers. I've only just recently subscribed and have got a lot of useful tips and information. If they can do better let them start their own channel.
Not sure if I've seen someone who is a DIY'r who is that awkward with zip ties. Also just so you know if the temperature is below freezing with snow/frost on the ground you probably could break the zip tie with your hands.
yea you can cause the bit, any bit is longer than 3/4 of a inch long so you just slide it back, like in the video ... and if your that anal about it you would be making a physical center mark with a awl or punch long before
@@BoraHorzaGobuchul It shouldn't be falling on the creators' shoulders, but for now, it has. There are tools that can fight this. ThioJoe has a video on it with the tool he created(and LMG put out one highlighting his work).
The battery tone difference is because the charger measures the battery to determine its capacity and then sets the charging rate. If you replug it too fast, the battery-type sensor has yet to discharge, adding the voltage to the battery to that residual. Then if you allow it to charge the battery, it will go over-charge. Sort of a dangerous thing these days with lithium batteries.
Congrats on 22 years to BOTH of you !

The Makita engineer that put in that multiple tune charger thingy is a legend lol.
There are ready-made hook blades for multitools. Same principle, but proper locking. They are intended for flooring materials mostly.
I've seen roofers use em and I've seen some prefer using the regular hook blade in a multi-tool as its cheaper
A special knife for cutting sheet goods with a circular blade will probably work no worse.
Love those hook blades, great package openers, and for cutting cardboard boxes. Can't wait to try it on cutting shingles
You're a good guy. Loved the interaction with your incredibly patient wife! Lol!
With the bottle hack I think you can just thread the bottle straight into the soft pvc instead of using the bottle cap.
The blade advantage is in the ability to make curved cuts without slipping and going in a straight line. The material is sound deadener which needs curved cuts. I met the maker of the video, so this is how I know.

Zip ties can be chained tohether if they are not long enough. And in this case, looped and balanced.
Thanks, good to know. I appreciate your attention to finding the right information

If Fur Elise played any longer, I was afraid he was gonna stand up and keep popping N lockin

The pop bottle hack is pretty cool.

Agree, but it might be good in a pinch if saves you a trip to the store to get more trim line.
Why not thread the pvc elbow directly on the bottle threads? I dont think you need the cap.
I like your observation. I wonder if the threads on PVC match the inside threads on the bottle (or are close enough). The OP would have done it that way if it were feasible.
cause its 10x easier to press in a threaded fitting than making new threads when the clock is ticking
“He’s got a different manufacturer. He’s got a Milwaukee. 🤔 I’ve got a Milwaukee.”
He said that because he started the test with a Ridgid tool.
@@Thomas-xm5ym yes. It was just fun to watch his thoughts play out across his face.
Better to belch and bear the shame than to squelch the belch and bear the pain.

It can be used to identify your battery in case other people with same battery are charging at the same time...

Brittany Venti has louder burps :P
Thanks for good video. I think material he was cutting was too thick and thats why it made easier for him with osculating

Interesting content, thanks
what is the size did he use elbow pvc? 1/2 or 3/4?
3/4"
Looks like the bottle thing makes things harder than need be like balancing on a ladder
i am no pro so when on a ladder I am always braced one handed on a wall, might as well put a bottle there
You know you can chain zip ties together…
makita will keep the change if done plugged in

String is expensive. I'd want to know how to save on string. Great Trial and Error.
its half the price of zip ties
Why would you not know what battery you're charging?
I liked the video, but the scoring seems dodgy. "Makita Hack": 4 + 5 + 3 is not *exactly* 13... ;-)
Yeah the bottle catches the shavings, but ya can't see if your on mark.
yea you can cause the bit, any bit is longer than 3/4 of a inch long so you just slide it back, like in the video ... and if your that anal about it you would be making a physical center mark with a awl or punch long before
