MikeyB Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Picked this up earlier to try to help unclog my kitchen sink that backed up on the ol lady this morning. No luck plunging, cleaning the traps or snaking it. I'm not quite sure what to do now. Don't wanna deal out the cash for a plumber to come look at it so I'll mess around with it again tomorrow to see if i can get er done.Santi, if a larger snake does not work, check to see if you can rent a tool called the Kinetic Water Ram, it's an air tool for clearing stoppages. I have one and it's an awesome tool. Just be careful not to use too much air pressure on it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have been looking at trim routers. That is a great deal. Is it the variable or fixed speed? I wish they had the LED lights but that isn't a deal breaker for me. Nice score brother!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Mike that is a heck of a deal, is it a variable or single speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks crew we stopped by to look at a computer desk she had out there and then I saw the Bosch box sitting there quickly I jumped on my phone to see how much this was on Amazon and for the price I couldn't pass it up, Chris, Kruton it's a variable speed with soft start the motor sounds really powerful for a compact, hopefully today I'll get to try it out as its my son mike jrs BDay today so the day belongs to him but I might sneak some time into garage to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santi_78342 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 VS Colt for $25? That's a steal! I'm torn between picking up the Colt or the 611. I like the idea of the LEDs on the 611 but I already have the MR23EVSK and would love to have his matching baby brother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 That is awesome router for a sick price Mike! Good for you dude!!. Thanks bro!!

Looks like a drill press with a long rectangular shank containing the drill bit. Really cool if that is what is it, you can make some really solid joints very easily with one!

I would recommend NOT buying a cheap set as you'll more than likely regret it, and you won't even use half of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santi_78342 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Good luck with the drain! This is my line of work from a homeowner's perspective lol! Be careful of kinks with that thing. Lay down some old towels in front of the sink so you don't smear stuff over the floor like from sitting the snake down or whatever you pull back. Is it pvc? Do you have access to the drain from under the floor? Might take cutting out section of pipe if it's real bad Sent from my SCH-I535 using TapatalkmThanks for all the help guys. I was able to clear the drain and I'm glad I listened and put an old towel down as I pulled some nasty crap outta there. Went straight into the trash afterwards! I think I'm gonna go pick up a new garbage disposal now. They seem pretty straightforward to install on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem pretty straightforward to install on my own.You weren't supposed to be able to get it, so that you call guys like me to make a living off lol! Kinda ironic thing on my work sometimes a toilet won't flush right but everything else drains fine. Barring the crazy wash cloth scenario I had on here yesterday, I can almost always plunge it thru, even after the customer has been at it for a day or two. It's like my superpower ha!Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I had picked up a Dewalt DWST 17805 a while back and was looking for something to pack it with. Finally got around to loading my my 16 ga Paslode finish nails and it holds fuel cells on the sides as well. I gotta pickup another one of these for my Porta Cable 15 ga finish nails, crown staples and brads. These boxes seem like they can handle a lot of nails. I also gotta find a case that would store Paslode framing nails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
