As someone who rebuilds Li-Ion tool packs: Yes there is no difference between 18V and 20V max li-ion packs battery wise. They're both 5 4.2V max Li-ion cells in series. It's just marketing :) The packs with capacities of 1.3-2.5Ah are single cell in series, 2.6-5Ah are double cell paralleled in with them. Any other battery questions feel free to ask Handyman!
I have a $400 battery pack that uses like 10 18650's and I don't want to buy a whole new one so is there an easy way to replace the batteries or do I need expensive welding equipment so I don't blow my hands off?????
@@thegreendank1 Yes they use 18650s in the Li-Ion tool packs. They use specific high drain cells which can do 20-30A continuous current draw. They really should be spot welded together when rebuilt.
Thermal conduction through the rotor fins. Old school fireplaces used porcelain or clay pipes to surround the top and sides. They looked like honeycomb from the front. They would glow red and even whistle as hot air conducted through them, radianting heat out into the room.
Bought that sander a month or so ago. It works pretty good with the higher AH batteries. I find myself sanding more, as its more convenient being cordless.
Break rotors allow the heat from “fireplace” to collect & hold the heat & “radiate” it out into the space......making it warmer👍🏻 Funny seeing inside the cupboards, just chillin & takin to us 😂 Cheers☃️
Love your videos I started watching you about 8 months ago after my second brain operation and I am truly inspired. Been in a trade most my life but lost that ability from the operations. since watching I have been doing more around my house my daughters great videos don't stop inspiring. Thank You
*WOW* !!!! *Merry Christmas* !!!! *Glad you were able to fix the $$$$$ cabinet without too much trouble* !!!! *The massive wall oven cabinet is going to be FAB* !!!! #MassiveKitchenReno #TheHandyman
No need for the track saw, just use a trim router with a flush trim bit to take that 1/16 off. Any wood straight edge will work for the guide. Also, there was no need to be so precise from the start because you are scribing a crown to the ceiling anyway. you could have just come in 1/4 shy and the gap would be nice and covered by the crown.
You will live that sander. My buddy and I bought four for the guys to use. Use the 5 ah batteries. We actually throw the 60 volt batteries on them for much longer run time and more power.
1. You can get off a 1/16 very easily when building face frames... I am not sure how you build or lay them out so I can't tell you the likely culprits. 2. Battery powered planer is super useful when installing cabinets 3. When you cut your face frame stock, leave it 1/8 inch big then edge plane it to final dimension... also sand the edges of your parts before assembly
The "troll voice" portions are always hilarious. It sounds like The Chipmunks, and you wonder why they are so critical of our beloved Handyman... "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"
11:51 when they say 20volts it's an advertisement gimmick, it should all be saying 18, when I go shop for new tool no matter how good the tool if I see those advertisement gimmicks I tend to skip them. You have very detailed on your video, I can't stop watching it's like a addition!
1/16" of an inch adjustment..? Handyman's idea of a mistake is most people's idea of near perfection, lol. Regardless, well done! And it's actually wise to be a little over than under - all older home ceilings are slightly wonky & require headers & crowns be site scribed/trimmed to fit anyway. No biggie, re the MASSIVE work!
On a dime! Make sure you get the ceramic racing pads for maximum stoppage power. His old wood stove had drum brakes. Took forever to stop This is much more safe and efficient.
Nice close shave! I have to say... those floors turned out crazy good and I am still in awe. Whatever brand of Grey Poupon you are using, keep using it.
Do you ever back bevel flush seem edges for easy scribing on site? Thanks for the cordless tool review. I too keep looking at that one and love my corded Dewalt. I purchased the corded Dewalt VS disc sander with shroud and it’s a total beast. Takes the same 5” discs but is not really for finishing work
That sander will eat up a 2 amp/h in no time! You should consider 5 amp/h minimum. This is a very good sander. I would keep the corded in the shop and the cordless for site sanding. The shop corded with the dust extraction tube has benefit to be cordless. The tube is there anyways!
Ugh...ran into the same issue last night, walked into Big Box store for 10 dollar item and walked out with a tool and a bill several times more than 10 bucks. Happy Birthday to me!
To shave a sixteenth of an inch you could have used the original cordless sander AKA a hand plane. They run about 15 minutes on a charge. After that you have to take the iron out and sharpen it.
Question for you, Handyman: Why wouldn't you 'clean up' that wall that the oven box is on, even though most of it at least is going to be covered by cabinets? Wouldn't that give you a wall that is more dimensionally correct, and allow for less necessary adjustments to each individual cabinet piece?
I don't know how I survived without it. I will never use my corded sander again. Yes its that different. The small battery is still going and the cabinet is completely done. It is so nice not having that cord get in the way. I also don't have to have the hose hooked up to it because the dust bag works.
The Handyman going to wait till after Christmas to see if I get a gift card for Lowes to get one. Thanks for your input it means a lot coming from someone who don’t get paid by the company to review the tool.
Since the top of the face frame will be covered by the crown, then it probably isn't critical that the face frame perfectly meets the ceiling is it? Just a thought.
I wish my worse miscalculation on any project was only 1/16" out !!! Heat sink rotors are brilliant. btw, I've wanted to ask what brand/model multi tool and/or pocket knife do you use? Is the knife on your multi tool sufficient to only need it and not another knife as well. I'm looking to get a multi tool and maybe also a knife. Thanx Mr World's best Handyman.
I do know why they're on the top of your stove but... I don't want to tell anybody..they need to watch your previous video to find out why! Hit that like button people!
I worked as a cabinetmaker/furniture maker for nearly 30 years and am still a woodworker, and I don't think I have ever built an entire project of any size without making a mistake or three. You need to have the skills to fix the mistakes seamlessly, then move on. Mistake-free woodworking only happens on TV -- a lot of time by people who don't actually know what they are doing, but have good editors 😉
Why sand it if you're covering it with crown? Better yet why not take off 1\4 inch and not sand it if covering with crown? Plenty of clearance then. And ....maybe go frameless??? Just sayin. Good video and work.
Ever the cheapskate, I'm wondering why bother with a cordless sander if it's just going to be tethered to the dust collection anyway? Seems the cheaper corded tool is fine. Unless there's a need to take the sander where there is no dust collection, such as a job site, for example, to sand off 1/16th of an inch from the top of a face frame? 😎
concretekc5 yup. Just a thought. INSULATION ( the stuff we pay for if we buy it or not) and SEALING AIR INFILTRATION, all help to keep the nice radiant (or any source of warm) around. Cheap and lower bills and less labor. I wear a coat for the cold. Why shouldn't my work shop? At a minimum insulate the ceiling and drywall it for fire protection. At the top end of things, be able to heat the place with a candle and cool it with a tray of ice cubes. Benjamin Franklin said a penny saved is a penny earned. His little known brother Frank Franklin said you ain't savin crap Ben til you insulate this shack you dumb ass, and get those stupid horseshoes off moms stove.
Since you already said " I got crown to around the kitchen",,,, I would have though you would have just pulled your block plane out of your pocket, and shaved off the 1/16''. but I guess that would have been to easy, and not require a power tool!
Martin Mackett, I thought he would have just belt sanded a 1/16 right then and there and be done. Since there was crown or some type of moulding, he should have never went all the way to the ceiling to begin with ... just asking for trouble. Keep your cabinets at least a 1/2 from the ceiling and there won’t be these problems.
My dad burned some scrap osb in our house stove one time. I came home late and found the house all full of noxious smoke, everybody was asleep. I thought they were poisoned, it smelled horrible.

This is EXACTLY why I always build all the face frames FIRST. Then I build the boxes. I learned what you just learned early in my career.

The rotors have to weight it down cause if it gets too hot inside it'll float.
Charles Hanson I’m with you on that. We only fill my tires with hot air now because of the pep to the gas mileage.
"...see if I can switch to the cordless, mainly to get rid of the dang cord."

Awesome Handyman T-shirt quote @ 3:59 "I think there might be Flame-a-bul chemicals in this"
Hot rotors = thermal mass = long lasting head in the room. The gift that keeps on giving Clark.
Also, I was taught early on that a good carpenter is one who KNOWS how to fix his mistakes! David
Rotors on the stove in case you need to leave the fire can come to a complete stop properly.
Nice close shave! I have to say... those floors turned out crazy good and I am still in awe. Whatever brand of Grey Poupon you are using, keep using it.
I love that squirrel voice!

In previous videos he stated the wall was actually MDF or particle board and the electric panel is on the other side.
Does it fit now? Always leaving us in suspense... lol
Lmfaoo..." smells good"
The brake rotors are there to “slow down” the burn.
Heat sink to keep your shop warm after the fire dies.
Let me know about that sander. I have been looking but worried about the battery life.
I don't know how I survived without it. I will never use my corded sander again. Yes its that different. The small battery is still going and the cabinet is completely done. It is so nice not having that cord get in the way. I also don't have to have the hose hooked up to it because the dust bag works.
@@TheHandyman1 How are the decibels? My corded palm sander is too loud to use without ear protection. Just curious, thanks!
@@TheHandyman1 I'm picking one up on the way home today. That settles it.
The Handyman going to wait till after Christmas to see if I get a gift card for Lowes to get one. Thanks for your input it means a lot coming from someone who don’t get paid by the company to review the tool.
the rotors are there as heat batteries. if you flip one over, they'll fit better.
Idk your progress on this project in real time but could you check the bow in the ceiling with a light just to see how bad it is?
Since the top of the face frame will be covered by the crown, then it probably isn't critical that the face frame perfectly meets the ceiling is it? Just a thought.
Would the brake rotors work better upside down for radiating heat?
I wish my worse miscalculation on any project was only 1/16" out !!!
Heat sink rotors are brilliant.
btw, I've wanted to ask what brand/model multi tool and/or pocket knife do you use?
Is the knife on your multi tool sufficient to only need it and not another knife as well.
I'm looking to get a multi tool and maybe also a knife. Thanx Mr World's best Handyman.
funny you should ask. I'm going to make a video on it tomorrow morning.
Brake rotors = Thermal Mass , they get hot and hold and distribute the heat over a longer period, so when the fire dies down you still get heat output
I do know why they're on the top of your stove but... I don't want to tell anybody..they need to watch your previous video to find out why! Hit that like button people!
Now your almost out of wood to burn, you ought to build yourself a sawdust burner, they are great!

Mistake-free woodworking only happens on TV -- a lot of time by people who don't actually know what they are doing, but have good editors 😉
Do you use the brake rotors as a thermal radiator?
What kind of wood is the face frame made out of?
I love my cordless sander.
To put the brakes on when the fire is out of control
Rotors are for your new "Handyman Hot Rod"
🖐🎥👍 thanks
You got to heat your breaks up before you leave for the jobsite 😂
The Brake Rotors are there because you didn't have a pair of Brake Drums handy.......
For fasteners, the spax are ok, but GRK with torx heads are even better. Stay away from grip-rite, they have inferior shear strength.
Do you keep all your batteries in a charger charging at all times?
no
ASMR for the first three seconds.😂😂
Why sand it if you're covering it with crown? Better yet why not take off 1\4 inch and not sand it if covering with crown? Plenty of clearance then. And ....maybe go frameless??? Just sayin. Good video and work.
dont look up,dont look up :D
They help your stove slow down quicker ;)
The Ryobi cordless sander is decent but I also don't know how I survived without the DeWalt cordless
Heat sink?
Just wondering if you have a carbon monoxide detector in your workshop
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Merry Christmas
Rotors are heat mass
haha bright yellow area, spent that money
Not judging but I couldn't work without cleaning up everything in the workshop.
#thermalMass and extra stopping power :)

Mine uses up batteries every 45 minutes of sanding so with two 5 amp batteries I can keep going with a rapid charge
The brake rotors store and continue to emit heat after the fire goes out.
What is with the break rotars on your wood burner.....haha

Don't be knocking the square drive, its far superior bit.
You have to say it in a squeaky voice.
My Makita cordless sander works great, has 3 speeds and is more convenient,
because they hot AF brakes
measure once, cut twice :)

Square is okay, if it's only square. Those combo screws suck.
