Must Have YELLOW Cordless Unique Specialty Tools

[Deuce 40s]

I just did a few dozen test holes for fun. Of course I couldn't get the drill bit to fall out.

I did feel the ratcheting mechanism though. I ran the chuck closed easy, then turned it by hand an 8th tighter and you can feel the click. Not sure what that locking does.

Thats what I do, but I tighten it by hand until I can't get it to click any more.

DeWalt has a version of the GRABO pneumatic lifter: 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter (Tool Only)

Looking at specs, it seems to compare to the GRABO Pro model with the pressure display: GRABO PRO - LIFTER 20 - GRABO Factory Shop

I can't say that I would use it enough to make it a must-have for me, but someone working with panels more frequently and having the DeWalt battery system might consider it. You'd save a few dollars over the GRABO version with a proprietary battery and charger.

I saw the GRABO some time ago and thought it was a cool idea for anything from tile setting to woodworking. I just cannot say I do enough of that to justify a $300 tool. The DeWalt version is currently on sale at Fasteners for $250 (LINK) for the bare tool, but that's still not really enough of a price drop for me to consider.

Just a little historical tidbit about DeWalt. I never knew that Raymond DeWalt, the man who founded the brand a century ago, was born in the same Pennsylvania County I was born in, taught in the town I grew up in, and lived much of his life in roughly a 100 mile radius of my home. The hardware store mentioned is one I shopped at for many years. They were one of the last "old school" hardware stores in the area - the ones that carried all those odds and ends you couldn't find anywhere else. I've also taken classes at the Vo-Tech mentioned.

Raymond DeWalt, the man who founded the brand a century ago, was born in Oakville near Newville in Cumberland County, PA. He later worked in Shippensburg, founded the DeWalt brand in Leola, and later moved to Lancaster. He then returned to Cumberland County, moving to Willow Mill near Mechanicsburg, and taught at the local high school.

Since many people seem to miss the "Unique" part of this thread, I'll throw this in here.

What the fuck is that.

Hand held sheet metal tipping dies.

That's kind of what it looked like, but is it custom? That would be super useful for custom flashing on a house or even metal roofing.

Huge fan of the yellow Bluetooth speaker standard battery lasts a long time, also the grease gun is a game changer.

greese gun will piss you off because it had that fucking bypass when pressure gets too high. only happens when i grease my ujoints with the needle fitting.

I saw it on IG some time ago. I think it was a prototype. I haven't seen anything about it since, though. I do think it was intended for Architectural sheet metal (roofing or HVAC) rather than automotive work.

It's an interesting idea though. What type of housing was built to replace the whole front half of the drill?

I feel like there are some product ideas there.

how is that Dewalt 18v and not 20v?

They're redoing the sewer and water lines outside my work and they been using one of these to de-bur/chamfer the pipe. Seems to work pretty slick, but not at $900. Looks like it's based off the die grinder.

In North American they are "20v Max" but in Europe they are "18v Nominal"...exactly the same actual cells/batteries/voltages in reality, but a labeling thing because European's are dinks.
