Is it okay to use a extension cord to connect multiple power tools?

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by admin

I have only 2 outlet power in garage. All of them are far away.

as long as they aren’t running at the same time….

I have two 25 foot 12 gauge cords with metal double outlet boxes on the end, in my shop, that I use when I need a corded tool out in the middle of the floor….

I would not use this for a tablesaw, or an air compressor….

Does anyone know where I can find a company in Europe that sells display brackets for power tools?

Posted on March 8th, 2010 by admin

I am interested in companies that sell brackets (I think that is what they are called) that hold power tools onto shelving units. It consists of a bar and then various adapters, depending on the power tool.
Thanks for the information, but as I work for a company, we need the factory information. We can not just ask at the hardware store or go online and purchase. I hope that this is helpful

I live in Germany and usually do all of my shopping on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. I usually can find anything I need on those websites.

Why are so many women afraid of power tools and machinery?

Posted on March 6th, 2010 by admin

Has anyone else ever noticed how much more timid women are with working around noisy power equipment, guns, and machinery than men are? Do they feel overpowered by this stuff or something?

Note: This doesn’t apply to all women, as I do know of several women that aren’t afraid of these things. Although, most of those I’ve talked with told me that they were afraid at first and then they got used to it over time.

I think because women are less physically strong, we’re scared, yeah.

I’m over it, have used tons of power tools, my Daddy’s awesome with tools/building so we’ve spent a bunch of time together doing things he enjoys, which meant I learned to use power tools.

Turns men on when women use power tools, I wonder why that is? Even my Daddy loves when my Mamma uses a saw or something haha Yet, he gets pretty angry when we’re out int he summer and people walk by the house and stare while I’m working haha =o)

The table saw, I still have never once used that, he warned me it could possibly snap my wrist…that was enough to keep me away from it! o_O

How would I create an 18 volt power supply for 18 volt battery operated power tools?

Posted on February 26th, 2010 by admin

I’ve measured up to 40 peak amps but could be more.
I was thinking of adding several power supplies to give me the necessary voltage.
Thanks in advance.

Peak amps could be handled by a large cap.

Get a 15 volt transformer good for 20 amps, put a set of diodes on it and a 100,000 uF 30 volt cap. Don’t forget a 40 amp fuse on the output and a 5 amp fuse on the input.
