32in. 38 Gallon Battery-Operated Riding Auto Scrubber Review

I decided to have a quick look at the 32in. 38 Gallon Battery-Operated Riding Auto Scrubber
from northern tool if your looking for an auto scrub this might be the scrubber for you.

So lets have a little look at what you get for your money. It’s a relatively small battery-operated power scrubber, but come with a unique bladder system that has been developed by northern this was designed to give it its relatively small size.

It’s gives you a 32in. cleaning path which should cover most small jobs. But, I also like the automatic speed reduction, which kicks in on turns.

Stanley 95-155 3-in-1 Tripod LED Flashlight

Here we have the Stanley 95-155 3-in-1 Tripod LED Flashlight which is a Versatile led flashlight perfect for hands-free light. We’ve all been in situations where we need a lamp of some type maybe it’s camping & hiking, in a small crawl space trying to do a job with two hands I’m sure you know what I mean.

But with the Stanley Tripod Flashlight the 3 lights can be independently turned ~120 degrees so you can have 1 pointed at the ground and 1 pointed in front of you. I like LED as it’s technology that’s long lasting and energy efficient. The tripod is a great idea been able to set the light down and set the light to different angles for example the work are and then illuminate the general area.

How to fill cracks in concrete

If you’ve found some cracks in your concrete you can fill cracks that are larger than 1/4 inch easily with concrete patching compound. First you need to clean out any dirt out of the crack (Use a vacuum if needed) The next step is to brush on some acrylic bonding liquid which will give extra strength. You then press the compound into the crack using a trowel, clear away any excess that maybe left behind before the mortar dries.

Small Cracks

If the crack is smaller then 1/4-inch use caulk to seal. You can use Silicone- or acrylic-based products, which can easily tolerate small movement without failing.

Large Cracks

If you bore some hole into the edges of the damaged concrete, somewhere in the region of 1/2-inch diameter x 2-inch deep holes. you then need to use anchor cement to secure 1/4×4-inch bolts in to these holes. The exposed part of these bolts will help secure the patch in place.

The next step is to mist this area with water and put a plastic cover over it for a least a week, this will help extend the curing time and strengthens the patch.

Cordless Screw Guns video review

This is one of the most useful items I have in my toolbox the cordless screw gun. I’ve used one of these for all sorts of jobs like decking, drywall I even have a friend that works in IT and has one in he toolbox for cabling, so even for electrical work.

Having a screw gun is something you must having it your looking to save time as it’s one of the most versatile bit of equipment anybody could have.

It’s great not having to worry about a cord, you can even buy spare batteries (or some models come with two) so you can have one charging while using the other one.

Before I got this I had over the years overdriven the odd screw into a drywall, now with an adjustable collar and clutch this helps stop the screw gun from overdriving screws.

Another thing I like is the range of bit heads that are available such as flat heads, square heads for decking or some electrical work, Philips heads (this one I use a lot). And not forgetting drill bit for wood, metal, concrete you name it you’ll find it.

One really good use I find is the power that you have for those screws that not matter what you try it will not move.

I’ve found the range over at Amazon and the pricing is also good.

How to Fix Nail Pops in Drywall

You may have noticed that some of the nails are popping out of your drywalls, this can happen over time and can easily be fixed with some basic tools and a little joint compound.

Your first step is to use the hammer to hit the nail

You now need to hammer in another nail just next to this nail

You now need to use all-purpose joint compound and a putty knife simple fill in any dimples that may have been caused by the hammering.

You need to let the compound dry.

Once the compound is dry use a little sand paper to lightly sand the area.

Finally touch up the area with a little paint and you if should be all looking new.

Black & Decker Auto Adjusting Wrench

Noting new here really but every toolbox needs a wrench, but here we have the Black & Decker’s battery-powered Auto Wrench. It’s would be used in tight spots where mobility is obscured, such as under sinks.

The wrench opens and closes with the push of a button and boasts 220 foot-pounds of torque. The electric adjustment on the wrench is quick, the Auto Wrench takes AA batteries. Black & Decker say you can get 650 cycles out of two AA batteries so this should be find for most people but keep some spare batteries just encase.
