I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck Is Your Hybrid-Cut
“I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck is Your Hybrid-Cut all About?” (How Bad Axe Tool Works Creates and Sharpens a Toothline) t’s early Thursday afternoon, and your PowerPoint presentation for the three o’clock meeting is done as it’s ever going to be. You’re surfing the web on your lunch break, sick of the virtual reality grind of Iyour job, and frustrated by those who answer to you or to whom you answer, because these people—coworkers and clients alike—do not share your ethos that excellence is simply not an option. Everywhere, it seems, people beg the question: “Who is John Galt?” They don’t actually say it, because they have no clue to begin with. They just live the question, day in, day out. You glance at your computer again, and shift your keyboard in place with renewed energy as you type out the URL for the website you want to visit. And you think about the project awaiting you for the weekend. You ‘ve been taking your frustrations out on the 4/4 quartersawn cherry and walnut and white oak you have carefully stockpiled at home in the basement workshop you’ve cobbled together over the past several months while developing a pronounced hand tool problem. And your lovely wife—commonly referred to as SWMBO (She Who Must be Obeyed) in Old Tool Galoot parlance—has confronted you about the amount of tools you’ve been snapping up on eBay with money you should have set aside to purchase the next iKea chest of drawers for your five-year-old.

Hand Tool Safety
Safety Talk Hand Tool Safety Before you begin The greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance. Review the history of hand tool incidents in your organization and the action plans designed to correct or avoid future possible incidents. Introduction One of the key issues associated with hand tool safety is choosing and using the right tool. Unfortunately, many people use tools improperly at home, where they improvise with what they have on hand. Also, many people view hand tools as simple to use, so there is little concern for safety. In reality, a person using hand tools, no matter what they are, should always follow safety precautions and the manufacturer’s instructions. Injuries range from simple cuts, contusions, and abrasions to amputations, fractures, and punctures. The fact that nearly everyone uses hand tools in some fashion further complicates the education process. By looking at the injury statistics for your organization, you can discover valuable clues about the tools workers are misusing most often. June 2020 Perform a survey of your organization’s hand tools. Locate a representative sample of the tools for the pre- sentation. Become familiar with your organization’s injury experience and know the proper way to use, inspect and store those tools. Typical hand tools workers use in your organization could include hammers, saws, pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, and knives. Below are examples of improper use of hand tools. • Pushing rather than pulling a wrench to loosen a tight fastener. • Bending metal with undersized pliers, which can damage the pliers and the metal.

DEWALT® Launches Cordless Brushless Grinders
Sep 28, 2017 16:32 EDT DEWALT® Launches Cordless Brushless Grinders TOWSON, MD - (September 28, 2017) – DEWALT® announces the launch of cordless brushless grinders, including the 20V MAX* XR® 4.5” Angle Grinder (DCG413R2), the 20V MAX* XR® 5” Flathead Grinder (DCG413FR2), and the 20V MAX* XR® 1-1/2” Die Grinder (DCG426M2). The new cordless grinders feature efficient, brushless motors that are durable, don’t require brush changes, and offer long runtime. The new 20V MAX XR® Angle Grinder (DCG413R2) from DEWALT features a brake, E-Clutch® System, and Kickback Brake. The brake quickly brings the wheel to a stop in two seconds or less when the trigger is released. The E- Clutch® System automatically shuts down the motor when a wheel pinch is detected. The Kickback Brake incorporates both of these features, activating in the event that a pinch or stall occurs, engaging the brake at maximum force and shutting the tool down; effectively reducing the force towards the user. Additionally, the grinder features a One-Touch™ Guard, which allows for single-action adjustments to change guard position. The grinder also comes with two removable mesh screens that help to block debris from entering the tool during use. Finally, the grinder features an on/off trigger switch that has a no-volt release function, to stop accidental turn-on. In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned off and then on) to restart tool. At only 3.75 lbs. (tool only) and 12.2" long, the tool achieves up to 850 MWO and is part of the 20V MAX* system of tools.
