 Good evening YouTube. Thanks for tuning back into the channel tonight right here with me the rust belt mechanic as you can see tonight We've decided to change up venues a little bit The nifty tools of the week is going to be held right here at my house because we're talking at home nifty tools This week I had a whole lot of projects here at the house So I figured why not do an episode featuring some of the nifty tools that I've used here at home for some of My at-home projects not just the automotive stuff at the work But right here in the house to be able to help me to get through my jobs here So hopefully you guys enjoy this episode. Let's get into some tools First nifty tool that we're gonna come to is this work sharp outdoor blade sharpening kit Mostly indoor and outdoor as you can see here on the tag We ended up buying this one for 89 bucks a couple of weeks ago, which is a pretty decent deal I use this one from everything from my pocket nice all the way down to the cutlery inside That we use for the butcher block and everything along those lines. This is a really nice kit. What comes in it? It comes with your sharpening bit right here. It does come with multiple different bands This is a nice tensioned adjustable band style sharpener It's plugging into your standard 110 volt outlet and then sharpens everything from knives Also has a little edge right here for a 65 degree angle for sharpening those scissors as well The kit is also going to come with an extra five or six different little bands for sharpening those blades your Instruction manual some extra ordering booklets and a couple of extra little add-ons to it So you make sure that you are sharpening your blades at the correct angles. They do have different angles They have looks like 20 degree ones on there 25 degree ones there and 65 degree ones on the standard head These little bands they do last for quite a while I'm able to get right around five to six full Sharpenings in and that's different rounds with different knives so five times five 25 different sharpenings of those knives There this tool is very nice. We're going to plug it into the workbench here Got a standard on switch or it's got a pulse so you can just pulse it and run it as much as you need to The tension is adjustable there on the bands as well all in all It's a very nice sharpening tool very nice for the price easier than using a whetstone Something that you guys will find lots of use for in your house and toolbox Next up on our nifty tools is going to be the Milwaukee 48 89 46 3 1 23 piece drill bit kit now this drill bit kit is their shockwave style Impact drill bits they are heat resistant. They are impact resistant impact rated So they're made to get really hot go really fast and use with an impact driver What I like about these over standard drill bits is that they are the quarter inch hex key insertion The standard drill bits that are just round. They don't always grab into the standard drill chucks as easily These will fit in a standard drill chuck and they also will fit into a quarter inch impact driver as well Locks into place very nice and easy in those and I've used these for quite a different at a few applications I've used them in steel drywall. I've even used them in concrete. I know. Yeah, you're not supposed to use them in concrete They make nice and merry bits for it, but in a pinch they do work I've yet to break one and I think they've held up absolutely fantastic that's very nice to be able to switch out especially in a quarter quarter inch impact driver set and The 30 or the 23 p set is pretty comprehensive It goes all the way from 1 16th of an inch all the way up to the one half inch drill bit set right here All in this nice compact case that seals up locks away and is able to go Anywhere you guys want it without having any of these things fall out or lose them either Milwaukee does sell these Individually so if you happen to lose or break one you can just purchase them individually as needed as well Really awesome price. These are running right at $30 and 87 cents right now on Amazon So pretty decent buy if you guys are able to find them on a better deal Usually I see when I bought this one It was day after Thanksgiving and I got him right at like 21 bucks, which is a fantastic deal So if you can find it for that price jump on it These tools will not disappoint you in Following those awesome drill bits is going to be the Roy Obie p239 Brushless quarter inch impact driver this one from the Roy Obie line is probably one of my very favorite tools to use quarter inch Chucked key so you're able to put those drill bits Any other kinds of quarter inch hex bits? I do like that the light here on the bottom is super bright So as soon as you touch the trigger it does come on as compared to some of my stuff at the shop the snap-on ones I don't like that those when you hit the trigger You kind of have to have your finger on the trickle trigger part of the way for that light to come on as soon as you touch The trigger on this one the light comes on and stays on for five to ten seconds The power on this one is absolutely awesome. I've used it in quite a few projects before as you saw here in the garage It's able to hammer in big studs into the wall big lag bolts down into concrete It's handled just about everything that I've thrown at it and for the tool only this one running right now is right at like 43 bucks compared to some of those Milwaukee and snap-on they are that is an absolute steal now as far as durability I don't know because I don't use this in a day-to-day kind of circumstance I don't use this in the like the harsh environment inside of the shop I use this at home when I need it and it hasn't failed me yet So for that one I would I guess at least give it a four star on the reliability It's never had any issues with that one I've had it for about a year now and I would definitely recommend that one for you If you guys are in the Royobi line already, which as you can see from before I do have plenty of Royobi tools at home And they've always run the same 18 volt battery system, which has been absolutely amazing as well Maybe I'll do some more review on some other Royobi tools here in the future also But this is definitely one you need to have in your arsenal Last but certainly not least for my at-home nifty tools of the week is going to be my gear wrench Ratcheting wrench set. Let's see if she eyes a somewhat close up here This I actually started off with a base kit of the seven piece ratchet wrench set Now that one you're not going to be too impressed because it's going to be missing a couple of major sizes in there for you 18 millimeter being one of them So you might want to do a little bit of an upgrade from that one the standards kit comes with the seven piece set like I said I do like that. These are the 180 degree flex head Ratcheting wrenches. They do have the 12 tooth ratcheting wrench here up at the top And then the nice open-end box and box and wrench there at the other end These do have as little as five degrees of play before they end up clicking before you So that is a very fine tooth ratchet, you know It's not going to be your big snap-ons or your Mac wrenches or your Matco ones that really fancy nice ratcheting wrenches But for the price of these at-home wrenches, these are fantastic And I reach for these almost every kind of chance that I have on working on vehicles or working around the home I just end up grabbing these I don't like that. They aren't a reversing so if I need to reverse it Well, I guess I just got to flip it around but that isn't really that hard But for an at-home wrench this set works out really nice the seven piece set runs 49 bucks right now on Amazon But like I said, you might want to add a couple of more If you want to run the whole set that runs from 8 all the way up to 21 I believe that one right now is running a right at 162 bucks on Amazon the seven piece set you can pick up for 50 bucks Another great set something that you would really like to have for either a beginner tech or just starting out Or you just have for these for here at home. I would definitely recommend to have these around And in keeping with good faith was shouting out a couple of nice younger channels to YouTube Some of the smaller ones that are diamonds in the rough some of those ones that you guys just may not have heard of They just need their chance in the light to shine this week.
