Haven't I heard something about a high pressure jet system that pro's use to unclog a drain? Something about blasting with high pressured hot water or the use of some kind of declogging agent? Not sure which ones works better. But even though I don't have a full clog, I know my toilet line isn't doing so hot, I'd like it if somehow I can bleeping clear it out.

 

A few times I have sent boiling hot water down the light in hopes of breaking up any turd clogs going on, I haven't been that successful.

 

The water jet works for normal clogs and things like flushed baby wipes or paper towels. Waste that just gets stuck and needs help to move basically. For roots you need something that will cut the roots or rip them out, which the water jet doesn't do.

 

had a house once where we had to use the water jet. They go in from the street side as the jets force water back toward the street side. When they broke through all you could hear is a gurgling sucking sound from the drains. Strangest thing I've ever heard come from inside the house. LOL

The one you have is their pro grade

SKILSAW branded are their higher end saws you got the sidewinder but they also have work drives. From your pictures is might be magnesium too which is good because it reduces weight.

Skil brand is like the black and decker of the Bosch group, owner of skilsaw. Stay away from those they are junk but what you have is a quality saw probably 15 amps.

Yup, full magnesium motor housing and base. Feels light compared to my dewalt worm drive.71dc69c3ec3130ef06f1f5c48e8e89a2.jpge2af49d67176e64cecfc1e80f51e9ba5.jpg3fb777ded1b16ffbde6a953d17a8cf83.jpg

It must be a good one because it says PELIGRO![emoji6]

Thats a nice saw, again it be nice to know how many amps it is, knowing this not only tells you how powerful the saw is, but it also prepares you for knowing which electrical extension cord you may need to use with it.

Very important to know

I saw several of those being sold on Ebay while I was scouring for a good deal. However, what I saw were used, not new from that brand, and since I really don't know that brand very well, I avoided it. I guess you will be the forums guiny pig. [emoji14] Let us know how you like it, make a few cuts, see how she handles.

 

What is the info on that saw? How many amps? I assume its 7 and 1/4. I dont see any dust extraction abilities. I am sure you've seen my Ryobi saw, but here it is with dust extraction ready to go...

I got the Husky last year with the hybrid hose. It is super nice with auto roll back. How much did that one run you?

I don't know if it counts as a tool or not, but I bought the $5 Husky bucket organizer from Home depot today. I'm tired of having to take 16 things out of my bucket to find the one driver that fell over  and got lost under all the tools. Now they will all have their own home.
