Who owns who??- Tool wise

[Mad Mike]

Normal SDS+... drill mode, hammer drill mode and hammer only mode.

I did pick up a Bosch SDS Max vacuum attachment, HDC300 (reg $140, clearance for $30). Technically it is not for this unit but if I remove the side handle it does work I have lots of tile to remove, a basement floor to open (might be too much for it, we will see) and I might try it demoing some Rock Lath walls to bring down in sections, that stuff eats blades.

I switched my grinder and recip from corded to M18 Milwaukee and I have to say I'm disappointed with the battery life in the grinders. The 4" goes it runs for about 8 minutes cutting steel with a zip cut wheel. The 9" goes about 6 minutes. Better on the recip saw, but when doing reno work like removing floor tile or chopping up a deck, you need at least 2 chargers and 3 batteries.

I was told to go to a 12AH battery for the grinders -- I choked at price -- $350 each!

If you really want sticker shock, look at their high power battery line (mxfuel). They start at $500 per battery and go up from there.

About the only tool worse on batteries than a grinder would be a big heater.

That's because gear reducers multiply output torque by the ratio of reduction.

A 100:1 reducer connected to a 1/4hp sewing machine motor produces more output torque than a KTM 690.

I was looking for at least 20,000 lb output no go

That's not all that big, check Sumitomo, thy make small inits that output 70,000 ft lbs.

I got something with less reduction to get the job done just needed more input torque.
