  1. Nut busting torque tests the tools capability to remove a bolt that's been tightened using techniques apart from the tool itself. The problem with this is there’s presently no industry wide standard for testing or posting torque rankings, and variables like bolt size and type, thread conditions, air pressure, CFM, etc affect the outcome of the test. This gives manufactures a way to test tools with deceptive techniques that permit them to boost the marketed torque rating, but those techniques won't give you an accurate portrayal of real working torque. Maybe, you have the ability to get huge number of nut busting torque every now and then, given a particular set of conditions but that is not the real working torque the tool is continuously able to deliver.

    New tool day!

    It is different. You could use a 20mm blade on a 5/8" arbor if you use a reducer bushing, but not the other way around.
  3. “Nut-busting” torque is just marketing speak, it doesn't have any real meaning. Ingersoll Rand has a good article about it: http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/ap-en/solutions/garage-solutions/maximum-impact-enewsletter/feature-articles/impact-gun-torque-ratings-science-or-magic

  6. At the Makita 100th anniversary event, the director of Makita indicated that they will.
  7. A lot of the newer tools have indicators on the tool. The batteries with the indicators on them are new and are just starting to hit the marketplace.
  8. I was wondering why his coworkers didn't rescue him. Read this in a different article: "Other workers tried to pull him up but couldn't do it, so they called 911." Being rescued by firefighters. How embarrassing. For him and his coworkers.
  9. My new batteries came in the mail today. Two 5.0ah batteries with LED indicators. They came out of the package charged with 2 out of four bars.

    Safety first!

    If I keep the guard on my grinder, how the fuck am I going to fit a 6" cutting wheel on a 4.5" grinder?
  12. His government paid for the modification, not his boss. The modification was done by Nasta Special Productions in coordination with NAV who financed the modification in order for him to gain employment. http://www.at.no/anlegg/2014-04-04/--Dette-er-helt-rått-471.html According to the article the operator was paralyzed in a traffic accident in 2006. He is now 26 years old and the Norwegian government branch NAV has paid for his education and the modification to the excavator. Its not likely that such an modification would be profitable for the company in it self, but in a society where the state otherwise would have paid him money for the rest of his life since he cant work, it might be profitable for the society to give him an education and modify the excavator.

    Hilti cordless tools

    Any more info on these batteries you can point me to? They aren't listed on Hilti's website. Did you pick yours up at a dealer?

    Heated vest

    http://www.makita.biz/product/category/cordless/dcv200_cv100d/index_f.html I like this idea better than a heated jacket, but I still can't imagine actually wearing one while I work.
