Hilti developed the first commercially successful rotary hammer; a drill that also hammers. That was done nearly 10 years before the SDS.

Just like Polaroid, Xerox, Vise-Grip, and Crapper. That's right, the modern flushing toilet mechanism was developed by Thomas Crapper.

Hilux for all 4wd pickups
Barbagreen(pardon the spelling) for road paving aggregate/bitumen mix

But proper tradesmen know what a hilti can do and they know the difference.

Also, most SUVs are called "Jeeps" lol. I saw a Suzuki Jimny Jeep for sale today...

Here's a question:

I'm looking for a few liters of mineral oil (particularly the very common paraffinic oils). Where can I find some? It's for around the house and garage so I don't want to spend the extra money on food grade mineral oil.

Thanks.

Barber-Greene are actually the manufacturers of road paving equipment.

Yep I know... But 10 or more years ago I thought was the paving mix...

GPW or General, Passenger, Willis (pronounced JEEP) was the name for the Willis vehicle built from WWII on. When Willis was sold, it became Kaiser Jeep.

[pugboy]

There are many Chinese mig welders but it is a crap shoot as a mig machines has a lot of other stuff besides the circuitry compared to the inverter stick machines which are just a circuit board.

That should work good on some of the newer cars with different compounds of metal like boron steel etc. I used six blades to cut off a side panel and post in a Hyundai Ioniq .

[Rovin]

Fellas any recommendations on a good multi-ladder? I wanted something I can just throw in the wagon instead of using the roof rack. There are some places carrying the Inco 16ft for around $ 1100.00.

The thing is the steps looking real thin compared to the regular step ladders and the locking mechanism taking all the weight (it has no cross brace when in step ladder configuration) so I don't know how durable it is. Those things worth it or just stick with the step ladder?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

[maj. tom]

Vulcan 17ft for $1000 in Pricesmart. Heavy duty. Been quite useful to me.

^Looks suitable for staircase work — will check it out, thanks.

Link to the Inco below. It has 3 hinges so it can be configured for different purposes.

I own Gorilla, Little Giant, and Werner folding ladders. Mine are either 1A (300 lb) or 1AA (375 lb) rated. Lighter weight, lower cost ladders may have a different duty rating. For something fast like painting or changing a light bub, I prefer a Type II (225 lb) step ladder for the convenience.

There are two types: telescoping (Gorilla, Little Giant, etc. ) and articulated (Werner, Louisville and many others)

Telescoping:
Easier to set up
Easier to adjust for height
Works better on stairs
Tends to be sturdier

Articulated:
Easier to carry/lighter
Can set up faster
Works as a raised platform
Works as standoff ladder

^^^Good info. Didn't know the weight corresponded to its use. Makes sense now. Always wondered why someone 300lbs would go up a ladder

I've seen it happen.

[Rovin]

have some big dudes out here that 300lbs is normal size for them


some ladders more more suited for commercial use or occasional home owner use

even with d normal step ladders , depends on d weight of d user , what using it for & how often

normal aluminum step ladder cost cheaper , lighter & easier to move around ... fiberglass models much sturdier , handles more weight , more heavy duty , electricians will prefer it , cost more though

u can google it ...

[adnj]

There are many light(er) weight fiberglass ladders. Because they are nonconductive, electricians prefer them. That alone puts them in the realm of commercial use.

Compared to fiberglass, an aluminum ladder of the same duty rating is lighter in weight, more rigid, impervious to UV damage, and less likely to warp.

Fiberglass takes hard impacts without damage and is the only ladder to use near electricity.

[hydroep]

Good info fellas, didn't realise they were so heavily spec'd.

I saw some of those fiberglass units. For their price I could get both articulated and telescopic aluminum units and have money to spare — but you get what you pay for.

INGCO tools are devoted to making professional quality tools affordable. The well-known brands such as Bosch, Makita, Stanley, are of high quality, but too expensive. INGCO believes that top quality refers to not only function, usability and appearance, but also efficiency, performance and maintainability. The whole INGCO team pay great attention to every detail to make INGCO tools stand on the top of the world. All the INGCO team are based in China to support the global marketing. We focus on finding partners overseas instead of setting up our own sales team. Rather than making much advertisement, we prefer to save all extra expense to maximize the benefits to partners.

There's also INCO (Interchem Trinidad) but I doubt that those ladders are manufactured locally either.
