60-odd years ago a LOT of those sorts of drill attachments were popular. My Grandfather had one electric drill, it also converted into a reasonably sized circular saw when you unscrewed the chuck (all 5/16" arbor) He used it to build a house, all hardwood framing too. And bunch of other attachments, including a jigsaw (before they had T-shank blades) which could also be fitted into a very small table, converting it into scroll saw.
@@bostonrailfan2427 Dremel is for really small work. I reckon those drill attachment sets disappeared due to two reasons: They weren't that convenient compared to separate tools, and all kinds of power tools eventually got more affordable even before the ultra cheap Chinese tools flooded the market. My father had one of the sets, which came in a really sturdy plywood box, kind of like a suitcase. He never used anything but the drill functionality and instead eventually accumulated a basic collection of the various ordinary tools as separate power tools.
I've bought the nibbler! We used it to cut out holes for recessed lights that were above a ceiling with plastic roof sheets (you know the corrugated ones you normally put on a patio. - we used those in our basement so that there was a ceiling but so that it was easy to take down if we needed access to junction boxes or pipes.) Worked great! - both the tool and the ceiling.
The sheet cutter 17:30 was the only tool that had a bar to secure it to the handle. All the other tools were 1 second away from being a spinning death machine.
You used the dust collector backwards. Put the bigger end against what you're drilling into then put the bit through the hole and drill. The wide round base offers support and stability to the collector and the brush keeps the debris from exiting the collector as it travels towards the drill. I think you should reevaluate it. Otherwise I loved the video!
no he had it correct for that style design the brushes are to removes particles from drill into the cup you take apart, even so poorly design its as simple take a coke bottle cut the top to make a funnel drill a hole in cap put wide end to wall drill through cap into wall and the bottle neck catches the dust
Great video. Except I have to comment about the dust collector. I have had two of those (I lost the first one). In my country houses are built with brick and mortar. So when you are drilling for shelves or picture frames etc, you are using your hammer function with a masonry bit that generates a ton of dust. My dust collector has a rubber seal on the wide end of the cone. You put the bit through, line it up with the mark you made for the hole, then press the cone against the wall over the hole. ALL the dust ends up in the collector, thus working perfectly. The alternative is to hold a vacuum under the drill bit or a wet cloth, neither of which works as well as the dust collector. I think it's a great product.
@Ken Fullman I get extra fancy and use an old envelopeand tape it to the wall with masking tape - fold the flap out of the way so you have a square edge. If you have the tape over the hole it stops the drill skipping when you start, and grabs the last bit of dust. It's usually sticky enough I can do a whole batch of holes with one piece & then throw all the dust away
I love how I can only understand like half of what you say because I don't know what most of the tools or methods are called in my language, let alone in English, but I love your energy so I watch the videos anyway. it's always a fun time
I was recently flipping through a 1980s readers digest DIY book and it mentioned all these exotic drill attachments for when that might be your only power tool - funny how AB has circled back to that
Some of these tools remind me of the Black+Decker Matrix set of tools. I have one with a few attachments, it's come in very handy around the house. Definitely not a one tool to rule them all, but useful for small or quick jobs.
I have one of those too! I use the drill & impact attachment pretty regularly. I occasionally use the oscillating saw, too. Overall, it's been nice to have.
The drill sharpener thing works alright if you're careful. It's incredibly easy to off center the bit though so it'll wander when you try to drill which is what it looks like happened. There are better ways to sharpen a bit though.
yeah. there's more to sharpening drill bits than i expected. i sat through a this old tony video. it wasn't anything like as entertaining as this but it did teach me a lot about sharpening drill bits and you are absolutely right about getting them to center!
he is clearly someone who hasn't sharpened a drillbit before.. he didn't even look where the cutting edge was he just put it in there and rotated lol Honestly If you start trying to grind your drillbits the first thing you should have is a drillbit angle gauge.. but since he basically only works with wood it doesn't really matter.
The chainsaw insert actually works! I made som small adjustment to it added some chims and It cut five full size pallets in to pieces in no time. Keeping the chain lubricated is the trick, for your own safety do not saw with a dry chain, it will heat up and jam and do check its tension regulary. A dangerous thing it is but in experinced hands it is a pretty handy tool for smaller jobs.
as a rule of thumb, you can trust chinese tools for metal/concrete working more than the ones for woodworking. It is a cultural thing, as our countries are more used to build with those materials in general. For example: the dust extractor doesn't seem than cool at first glance, but if you use it on a concrete/sheetrock wall that would make a lot of difference...
@@williamreilly5469 I don't know if you are trying to disagree with that statement or if it was just unclear, but, to rephrase -- OP is saying that it's more common to work with metal/concrete in China [than wood], so the quality and reliability of those tools are often better because of the need/demand for tools used in metal and concrete work.
The magnetic screw holder is meant to be used when you don't have a free hand to gold a screw. Then you only use to get the screw screwed in but set in. That's why you were stripping the screw heads. Many times I would drop the screw just as I was about to start the drill driver.
Try running the sharpener with the drill in reverse, in "loosen screws" mode. It might be that the sander drum is turning the wrong way and actually dulling your drill bit.
The drill bit duller was the best tool by far. It worked perfectly. 😀 Since the nibbler had 2 ends the other end probably takes square bites which would work great if you needed a hole with square corners, like when I put a stereo in my van that came without a radio, a really long time ago. You just drill a hole in the metal dash, then nibble away until you have a stereo size rectangle. A power nibbler is way better than a manual nibbler. Don't ask me how I know. You get tired of squeezing the handle on the manual nibbler before the hole is finished.
The circular saw reminds me of that type of attachment for the Black & Decker Matrix. I love that set. Got the reciprocating saw attachment, router attachment, jigsaw attachment, oscillating tool attachment, sanding attachment, hammer drill attachment, impact driver attachment, etc. They used to have a tire inflation one as well as some weed trimming stuff but I never got those. I do have a problem with the circular saw because my hands aren't strong enough to hold down the safety buttons for me to get it to work. Over a decade ago I was trying to drill through 1/4" lauan with a wood drill bit from harbor freight. Mofo would not go through and eventually bent. I then remembered that my late father left an entire massive 134 bit Chicago brand kit. So I grabbed a bit from that kit and it went through like a hot knife through butter. I think some bits are just made of crap metal. I'm not sure which one I like the most. LOL.
I have air nibblers, they are very handy for cutting circles in the middle of a sheet, on the edge I'd use something else. Downside is they make a million chips to clean up, also can be hard to stay on your line. Takes some prartice because they move pretty quick.
Several comments here, Brad. My dad had a circular saw attachment like that about 50 years ago - I think it was a Craftsman. I don't know what ever happened to it. Makita has a magnet like that. I slide it further up my driver bits and have great visibility. The drill sharpener didn't work because it didn't put a back bevel on the tip. I currently have an older Craftsman jig saw with a swivel head - no need for the attachment. I'm definitely not buying any of these. I like to buy quality over price especially when safety is involved. Bill
I have one of those plastic drill bit sharpeners and it works fine... if you have sharpened bits and understand the geometry. Many people can't understand drill bits. Being able to put an edge on a broken drill bit is an advantage; shorter drills are less likely to break.
Can put any type of magnet on your screwdriver tip attachment. It'll magnetize the whole rod and don't have to put it on the end to where you can't see like mentioned.
Back when I started working with sheet metal, I came home with bloody hands a lot. Not to mention the bending and warping you get from shears. Idk if'd I'd buy it but I'll keep that on the back burner for maybe one day.
Great video !! I really hope you do more of these, because we all see the ads and claims, but never really know if there's a hidden gem out there. Well, YOU find out !
the set screws in the head of the nibbler allow you to set the direction of the cutting head, so it cuts in your chosen direction, loosen the set screw with one end of the included tool, set the angle with the other end, I have one side set for straight and left curves, the other side set for straight and right curves pop the circlip and fill the gearbox with grease every couple of hours I have done 16 steel roofs -around chimneys, around vent stacks, skylights, with mine, steel and roll aluminium flashing haven't worn it out yet. also have a makita nibbler, which I have come to dislike for being corded and an astro, that needs an air line all use the same cutter pin and anvils, assuming they are all made by the same company and brand-named
I had a similar one, lasted about 3 feet of nibbling, then the disk that holds the ram broke so the ram came out and wouldn't go back in. Highly variable quality.
I had pretty good luck with an equivalent nibbler from Amazon, especially considering the half-cocked way I was using it. They make a sort of cradle for table-mounting the nibbler, so I used one of those plus a right-angle drill adapter to set the thing up on my drill press. Using a simple jig to rotate sheet metal in place on the drill press table, I was able to nibble out a pretty good disc of 16-gauge steel. That's just about the nibbler's max thickness, so it was pretty prone to jamming if the sheet wasn't fed in just right, but overall it worked better than I had any right to expect.
Thanks for a fun video. I do have a drill/circular saw attachment. It's from the 1950s it is in almost new condition, probably because it isn't very practical to use and drills seem too slow. An uncle gave it to me because I always liked it. It is very well built all metal and looks cool on the 'cool but useless tool display shelf'
That chainsaw drill is awesome. oil the chain. The drill you are using can lock, once tightened down back the head off one click and it is locked. Try it it works. (on some cheap drills this does not work. I was at Harbor Freight and it worked on most of the drills but on the cheaper ones It did not). Also if you have to hold one part of the drill chuck to tighten the other part of then drill chuck it is not a feature of that style. It is the single turn chuck.
The riveter is much better when you mount a DIY bracket which allows one hand operation. The bracket goes arround the riveter body and has two arms which goes to the right and left side above the trigger of the drill housing ; )
I really like the sheet metal cutter, seriously considering getting one. I don't cut sheet metal often, but when I do I gotta use my hand shears or an angle grinder cause I got nothing else available. I'd say for that price it's worth a shot
I'm SO glad you tested the sheet metal cutter for the drill. I keep looking at this but I'd love to know if it will cut corrugated metal roofing easier. Can you try it for me ? :)
the double nibler, is two niblers, when one is worn out, just change the handle to the worn out , and now you have the fresh one ready, spareparts can be bought
I have the nibbler, it works great for quick one off curved cuts on sheet metal. I keep it in my tool bag and comes in handy when I don’t have dedicated sheet metal tools with me.
Fun to watch and listen to this man. Two comments though; I don't need to watch someone opening a box (or anything that makes me sit and wait), like a cooking show that makes you watch them breaking eggs. I don't get how you thumbs up to a drill bit dust catcher (because it works), but thumbs down to the drill chain saw (because it works too). The dust catcher could be replaced by a piece of paper held correctly against the wall. The chainsaw however, would be great for gardeners, and appears less dangerous than a real heavy chain saw. I see the side hand grip as a positive feature, not a negative one. Since it works, I'd give it a thumbs up. The danger aspect is up to the user, just like using anything else. It's not the tool that is dangerous.
The chainsaw would be great with a beefy Rachetl driver drill.. for framing houses we need to hang over the edge of a hip roof. We do use an electric chainsaw. And we keep that baby sharp every day...
Those were some fun ones, Brad. The M12 Surge you were using is my favorite power tool - glad you're liking it too. Also, I bought that same drill jig saw on Ali Express a few months back and haven't opened it yet! Glad to see you test that thing out. Great video, brother!
Use the circular saw attachment to build a mini table saw for crafting. A corded drill would probably have more power, but a different set up could use a designated motor for it.
i have the nibbler for a few years now, i used it a lot. i even built a table for it, so i can nibble in a straight line easier. i just bought the chainsaw about 2 weeks ago, was planning on using it soon. the riviter i also have for a few years, and i even used it at work a few times.
The drill bit sharpener is available from harbor freight lol and it’s cheaper 😂. I bought it and had to modify it also. You have to put the bit in the proper slot for the size
My favorite was the drill bit sharpener. Nothing says waste of money like taking a perfectly fine drill bit and making it not work. This video was hysterical! Thanks for saving me some money. 👍 to you.
Good video Brad, I watched the whole thing. In theory their tools are better for metal or concrete work so I wasn’t surprised most of the woodworking ones were duds. Plus you get what you pay for. 👍
I'm pretty sure you have the sawdust-catcher backwards. If you put the large opening against the wall (so it looks like the wall has a "boob"), it'll catch almost all the dust.
I think the sheet metal sheers should come with chain mail gloves. If the magnetic tip was supposed to magnetize your bit, I'm not sure how you can blame it for stripping out your screws. You don't need to see when to stop screwing if your driver is set properly.
If I was to get one it would be the metal cutter, not nibbler but the one with the spring around the drill handle, I actually saw that in use on a video not about the tool but about new building materials and technologies
I think you were a bit harsh on the chainsaw attachment. It does exactly what it says it does and it is no more dangerous than a real chainsaw! I think I might buy one, it looks fun. It would be good for carving!
I've probably used the word "hoaky" twice in my lifetime, but it instantly came to mind when watching this video. Some of the packaging reminded me of items for sale at a failing mom & pop hardware store in the 80's.
Excellent attitude and camera presence! I subscribed when I saw the subscribe button on the metal sheet you flexed, nice work, I thought that was slick.
Great video - thanks. About the jig saw. I liked that it doesn't have a lot of motor down by the blade. Means that it can cut in tight areas better than my traditional designed jig saw.
i liked the nibbler and rolling sheer and the riveter , all of the wood cutting tools seem kind of wild and dangerous too light , no mass to hold then down
I love these people at stores like Alibaba. They try so hard to sell their ideas. It's wonderful (I live in the US) to see people actually working hard at their jobs. Here...in the US, again...people really don't give a shit about anything but the money. Even the doctors couldn't care less. I'm gonna assume that Alibaba is not a US company (giant leap there). They have my heart with their sincerity.
Gotta say the mini chainsaw is safe depending on the drill. If you left go with your guide hand, the entire thing spins reducing cutting force and turning more into a blunt force. If your hand slips off the drill then it doesn't spin in either way. Not as unsafe as people think.
I have the Black and Decker Matrix drill that has a whole bunch of attachments from a sander to tire inflator, router, jigsaw, trim saw and sawzall (my favorite), and even some custom ones like a mini chainsaw that's less janky than this one haha

The magnetic tip. At work I have to use a lot of screws, I just place strong magnet above the tip, it makes a difference and helps with work.

the drill bit sharpener, blunting your drill bit, suggests you may need to reverse your drill direction. ??
I think it suggests he's goofy.
I have a Black and decker matrix system. It has drill, impact, jigsaw, and router. All works good
Only tool worth getting maybe the mini jig saw.I can see this useful for hobbyists cutting thin plywood for intricate shapes.
Thanks for a fun video.
I do have a drill/circular saw attachment. It's from the 1950s it is in almost new condition, probably because it isn't very practical to use and drills seem too slow.
An uncle gave it to me because I always liked it. It is very well built all metal and looks cool on the 'cool but useless tool display shelf'
Bought to bit sharpener at HF. With a little time and attention to detail, it does great.
At least you got them..50% from my orders never arrived... and it's hard to get a refund...i don't recommend AliExpress...to many scammers
That chainsaw drill is awesome. oil the chain. The drill you are using can lock, once tightened down back the head off one click and it is locked. Try it it works. (on some cheap drills this does not work. I was at Harbor Freight and it worked on most of the drills but on the cheaper ones It did not). Also if you have to hold one part of the drill chuck to tighten the other part of then drill chuck it is not a feature of that style. It is the single turn chuck.
Your enthusiasm is the most interesting part.
The riveter is much better when you mount a DIY bracket which allows one hand operation. The bracket goes arround the riveter body and has two arms which goes to the right and left side above the trigger of the drill housing ; )
I really like the sheet metal cutter, seriously considering getting one. I don't cut sheet metal often, but when I do I gotta use my hand shears or an angle grinder cause I got nothing else available. I'd say for that price it's worth a shot
I got a different one from Amazon. Had a circle jig. Was $25’ish. Amazing for HVAC and even some auto stuff.
I think you are supposed to use the dust collector the other way around. I have a cheaper version of it and it does a good job
One note about the drill sharpener-
When you tried to actually drill with the sharpened bit you had it in reverse.
I'm SO glad you tested the sheet metal cutter for the drill. I keep looking at this but I'd love to know if it will cut corrugated metal roofing easier. Can you try it for me ? :)
the double nibler, is two niblers, when one is worn out, just change the handle to the worn out , and now you have the fresh one ready, spareparts can be bought
Metal cutting tools last a lot longer if you oil them. But I know no one does that.
This episode provided amazing comic relief. I can’t imagine buying any of these but thank you for the laughs.
Who doesn't need a mini chainsaw drill 😂😂😂
@@Jimmys_TheBestCop anybody who is fond of counting to 10. 😂😂😂
Always entertaining watching your videos 👍🏼
I have the nibbler, it works great for quick one off curved cuts on sheet metal. I keep it in my tool bag and comes in handy when I don’t have dedicated sheet metal tools with me.
Yeah, don't buy them. Just laugh with me 😂
Fun to watch and listen to this man. Two comments though; I don't need to watch someone opening a box (or anything that makes me sit and wait), like a cooking show that makes you watch them breaking eggs. I don't get how you thumbs up to a drill bit dust catcher (because it works), but thumbs down to the drill chain saw (because it works too). The dust catcher could be replaced by a piece of paper held correctly against the wall. The chainsaw however, would be great for gardeners, and appears less dangerous than a real heavy chain saw. I see the side hand grip as a positive feature, not a negative one. Since it works, I'd give it a thumbs up. The danger aspect is up to the user, just like using anything else. It's not the tool that is dangerous.
The resivoir on the jigsaw tool would be handy if you were using it to cut tile or concrete is my guess. A little water lube for the abrasives
I've got a heavily wooded yard, so the chain saw attachment is the one for me!
I already have the sheet metal nibbler but haven't had the need to try it out yet, so pleased to see you gave it a thumbs up!
The chainsaw would be great with a beefy Rachetl driver drill.. for framing houses we need to hang over the edge of a hip roof. We do use an electric chainsaw. And we keep that baby sharp every day...
Those were some fun ones, Brad. The M12 Surge you were using is my favorite power tool - glad you're liking it too. Also, I bought that same drill jig saw on Ali Express a few months back and haven't opened it yet! Glad to see you test that thing out. Great video, brother!
yeah, Nils, the M12 surge is my fave for sure!
Mini chain saw rocks! By far, my favorite.
@12:55 To measure how sharp that drill bit are you could start with using the correct material to drill into since that is a drill bit for metal...
The second side of the "double nibbler" was probably for the different thicknesses, 1.2mm and 1.8mm
I tried the drill bit sharpener. I saw how if you had 2 extra hands, a vise, and a bottle of whiskey it wouldn't matter if the thing worked!
Use the circular saw attachment to build a mini table saw for crafting. A corded drill would probably have more power, but a different set up could use a designated motor for it.
i have the nibbler for a few years now, i used it a lot. i even built a table for it, so i can nibble in a straight line easier.
i just bought the chainsaw about 2 weeks ago, was planning on using it soon.
the riviter i also have for a few years, and i even used it at work a few times.
The drill bit sharpener is available from harbor freight lol and it’s cheaper 😂. I bought it and had to modify it also. You have to put the bit in the proper slot for the size
I CAN'T SEEM to get a manual pop Riveter to work. (arthritis pain) So I'm thrilled to see this work
along with a few others that past muster.
that chainsaw & circle saw bit are job savers. Both metel cutters pretty kool as well. 😊 Riveting tool
My favorite was the drill bit sharpener. Nothing says waste of money like taking a perfectly fine drill bit and making it not work. This video was hysterical! Thanks for saving me some money. 👍 to you.
Yes, they should call it a drill bit destroyer 😂😂
User error. You don't rotate the bit as you grind, , making a cone at the tip. Who grinds the cone, dies by the cone.
the hand part for the drill saw is an easy fix, but yeah that thing looks like it would be awesome attachment.
this last one a jigsaw could be very useful in very narrow space installing kitchen, where you can't use normal jigsaw. I like it ;)
I want the nibbler and the riveter, they look super handy for my budget friendly scrap heap of a work shop 😂
Had a great time watching you have a great time. Thanks
Good video Brad, I watched the whole thing. In theory their tools are better for metal or concrete work so I wasn’t surprised most of the woodworking ones were duds. Plus you get what you pay for. 👍
I'm pretty sure you have the sawdust-catcher backwards. If you put the large opening against the wall (so it looks like the wall has a "boob"), it'll catch almost all the dust.
I think that drill dust catcher goes the other way around. It’s a little like putting half a tennis ball on a drill bit to drill in the ceiling.
lol I knew you would like that nibbler. I got one a while back off Amazon and it's amazing.
I think the sheet metal sheers should come with chain mail gloves.
If the magnetic tip was supposed to magnetize your bit, I'm not sure how you can blame it for stripping out your screws. You don't need to see when to stop screwing if your driver is set properly.
I have a black and decker hand jigsaw type hand tool but has those rotary blades works great. Maybe 50 yrs old
I'm glad you still have thumbs to use to rate the products - at the start I wasn't quite sure.
If I was to get one it would be the metal cutter, not nibbler but the one with the spring around the drill handle, I actually saw that in use on a video not about the tool but about new building materials and technologies
Just want to binge watch the progress, but to addicted to watching the vids as they come out. Top content!
I think you were a bit harsh on the chainsaw attachment. It does exactly what it says it does and it is no more dangerous than a real chainsaw! I think I might buy one, it looks fun. It would be good for carving!
I've probably used the word "hoaky" twice in my lifetime, but it instantly came to mind when watching this video. Some of the packaging reminded me of items for sale at a failing mom & pop hardware store in the 80's.
Try “hokey”
Would like to see drills with kitchen attachments... like blenders whisks frothers grinders....
Excellent attitude and camera presence! I subscribed when I saw the subscribe button on the metal sheet you flexed, nice work, I thought that was slick.
I have seen that exact jig saw yesterday. The person who used it said it is OK. At least for 1/4 plywood.
Well I do similar old boy and you must have had your hands on backwards as that drill sharpener is ace!!
Terrific fun video

Great video - thanks. About the jig saw. I liked that it doesn't have a lot of motor down by the blade. Means that it can cut in tight areas better than my traditional designed jig saw.
love the sunday offer. Can your imagine that in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s? Glad to be in the 2020s!
Dude, you didn't give yourself enough credit. That was an awesome display of nibbling prowess!
The shear attachment was awesome
I had been tempted by the nibbler in the past- I might get that and the shear now!
I'd be willing to bet that the double nibbler has two different size cutter dies, hence the two thicknesses that were listed.
I kinda wanting to check out the sheet metal shears, the jig saw, and the bit sharpener. Maybe also the riveter
Change the title to - "If you have some spare organs, buy these tools..." Haha
😂 😂
i liked the nibbler and rolling sheer and the riveter , all of the wood cutting tools seem kind of wild and dangerous too light , no mass to hold then down
I love these people at stores like Alibaba. They try so hard to sell their ideas. It's wonderful (I live in the US) to see people actually working hard at their jobs. Here...in the US, again...people really don't give a shit about anything but the money. Even the doctors couldn't care less.
I'm gonna assume that Alibaba is not a US company (giant leap there). They have my heart with their sincerity.
Gotta say the mini chainsaw is safe depending on the drill. If you left go with your guide hand, the entire thing spins reducing cutting force and turning more into a blunt force.
If your hand slips off the drill then it doesn't spin in either way. Not as unsafe as people think.
I have the Black and Decker Matrix drill that has a whole bunch of attachments from a sander to tire inflator, router, jigsaw, trim saw and sawzall (my favorite), and even some custom ones like a mini chainsaw that's less janky than this one haha
When you said nibler instead of dimpler I was tempted to say they make one and shears too. But I was glad I watched longer. 🤣🤣
