Tool Reviews And Restorations

Tool Reviews And Restorations

Hello and welcome to my channel. My name is Andrew and I am a farmer in northwestern France.
All of my videos are of things that interest me and I try to make them interesting and useful.
Most of my content is about power tools, I like to review and repair them. I do a fair amount of woodworking so there’s also the odd video about that. I do some metal working although I don’t really film my metal working (at least for the moment).
Antique tractors and farm equipment are one of my favorite things so you can expect to see a lot about them on my channel; repairs, restorations and the machines at work. Pretty much anything that’s simple and has a lot of steel on it interests me, trucks, tractors, construction equipment, even cars.
I hope you enjoy my videos!

    This is a long video. What was the cause of the wobble? Which part of the clutch failed?

    I’ve just bought one of these so this was really useful. My blade is about half a degree off however, try as I might I can’t find any video on KZread that gives a good explanation how to adjust the blade. Any clues would be really helpful.

    Apparently the charger is not working well, since when you measured it before charging it it was at 12.13 and after taking it out of the charger it measured 12.03. In addition, lithium batteries differ from nickel batteries by their voltage of 1.2 to 3.7 so it is impossible for the original charger to give you the full voltage value of a lithium because it was designed to charge only nickel cadmium batteries and not lithium. The value at full load should be approximately 12.60v.

    I snapped my only 3.3mm drill bit for drilling holes for M4 tapping due to chuck wobble. I can't just run out and buy one because they are not a common hardware store item over here. So cranky with Dewalt man.

    How well did the superglue hold up? I need to repair a KA200, and the whole base is unglued. So I'm wondering if superglue would be enough, or I need to use some other, stronger adhesive.

  • @toolreviewsandrestorations
    @toolreviewsandrestorations9 күн бұрын

    The superglue did an ok job but I would suggest finding a better adhesive if you want a more lasting job. The part I glued on with the superglue started to come off again after about five sheets of sandpaper.

    Quick question I know you mentioned not putting it too close to the end or it will break, makes sense. I noticed the bottom half of the bit is round and not spiraled, is that the only place you should set the countersink set screws on?

  • @toolreviewsandrestorations
    @toolreviewsandrestorationsАй бұрын

    Yes, you should only set the screws onto the rounded part but I wouldn’t sweat putting the screws on the spiraled part as long as you don’t force the countersink into the wood too hard. Thank you for watching

    @toolreviewsandrestorations4 ай бұрын

    Yes, the later tractors came with 12v electrical equipment and over time a lot of them got converted to 12v. However if your starter motor is indeed a 6v than you need to clean all the connections and get the motor rebuilt because a 6v starter that is almost dead or with poor connection to the battery will still start on 12v

  • @toolreviewsandrestorations
    @toolreviewsandrestorations4 ай бұрын

    @Lindino M-H mounted a different version of the Simca engine on the first 1800 tractors and on some of the later 812s the engine had an incorporated governor. Over the production run they mounted many different parts on the same engine. If your tractor has the 3 speed gearbox than it has to be an 812 because I’m pretty sure that the 820s had five speed gearboxes. The easiest way to tell between the two models at a glance is the sheet metal over the battery behind the gas tank. If it’s long like mine than it’s an 812. On the 820s the steering column is much closer to the tank and the sheet metal covers over the battery are much shorter.

    NO. in comparison it is far better get the equivalent Skil Masters 4950MA 1050W and spare around 50€. In the end you have a better tool. Spare part brushes are equally not available, perhaps for some reasons in UK paying an arm and a leg. This model has a progressive trigger and a second contact noisy safety. Skil has an rpm wheel selector and a simple trigger way more practical to use especially with gloves. About intensive users booth fatigue severely hand with their high recoil vibrations, but between the two Bosch blue is the worst and also uncomfortable because the safety is not easy to maneuver wearing gloves. About metal stamped soles they are equal and must be booth modified with a pass through bolt and nut because factory rivets went loose and useless. About the blade attachment clamp on bosch the little axe coiling the spring of the release lever broke and also the coil spring modified again with a little bolt and nut... and a new DIY made spring.
