Today I acquired...........

Goodbye peg spanners I am blaming Ed for this, @sako243 keeps flashing his Milwaukee porn around and I clocked the quick release gizmos on his grinder. Got two for evaluation to try on my lesser units , seem to be the dogs danglers

I have QR nuts on all my grinders - the ones with a knurled ring on the OD.

Ruffian I see no issue with hand tightening discs. I tighten them very lightly and let the load do the rest. I've used up literally thousands of discs over the years in demolition and never had one even slip.

Yep exactly but I do get a little paranoid when I just hand tighten 9inch discs.
115mm not a care in the world I just make sure the battery or plug is out when changing discs.

Yeah, the knurled ring type was the one which gave me grief.

Same design as the Bosch.

The sprinkler engineer I know has them as well.
Only issues we both had is when a disc breaks, it can jam them.
But a pair of slip jaws soon removes it.

Would like an update once used for a week or so. I know I'm a nightmare for only hand tightening grinder discs anyway but think these may be a better answer.

Always had it on the battery M18 grinder and that's probably clocked up many weeks usage.

………………. a pair of slip jaws soon removes it.

That is until the internal ratchet breaks.

I will wait until that happens.

Come on Bob share the purchase link..i have 4 grinders here starting to cry with excitement

I have used the Bosch ones for years, maybe as much as 10 and the only problem I have ever had was when some donkey put it on upside down. I will not say who the donkey was
Can't even recall ever having one jam up and I give my grinders serious abuse.
I am still using one of the original ones I got and the only reason I am not using both the originals is because of said donkey.

That's the style I use and wouldn't go back to the standard nut and spanner. So much easier and haven't given me any hassle.

I've had a couple where the guys put the nut on upside-down, causes a lot of rude words . Seen a couple have the outer ring explode but that's from abuse not poor design.

I actually had a guy put one on upside down just a few weeks back but thankfully I asked him if he had it the right way up just before he switched the grinder on and it came off easily enough.

They have sold 1700 of them so they cant be that bad, or is it they have to be replaced often https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MILWAUKE...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

thanks mate..will buy some of those bad boys, ime always putting my spanner down and losing it

 

[roofman]

Wanted one of these for a long time as it makes the job so so much easier...removing pistons from motorcycle calipers without marking the outside no matter how careful you are. this sits inside the piston and as you tighten the bolt the 3 jaws expand out and go tight enabling you to twist and pull them out very happy with the postman today

So far, and I’ve yet to pick any of it up thanks to working away all week..

I’ve managed to acquire;

1x Alba 1A Shaper in working order
1x Q&S Mechanical Saw in working order
2x Centec Mills in parts

Only minor problem I foresee is the round robin to pick it all up.. York, Wirral and Bristol, on a Sunday!

I did Pete, yes. Thanks for the heads up

Apparently I was second in line, but the first guy got the hump about something
