Curious, is the lead-filled bat to be used for self-defense?

I would imagine it would also snap in half if you actually tried hitting something with it. It's going to be more of a universal exercise tool. swing it in the back yard to stretch/exercise my shoulders, and chill it/lay on it for my back. I already do that with my wrench, but it's an odd shape and doesn't roll.

Oh, like shovelglove, cool. That sounds like a better use of a lead bat than I was envisioning.

Yeah, in that case just melt what you got and pour. Zinc/lead alloy is only going to be problematic for casting bullets. Preheat your moulds, watch the gently caress out for water. DO NOT LET WATER NEAR MELTED LEAD EVER. (Unless you want molten metal all over yourself)

I got a lead splatter directly in my eye (except thankfully it was actually on the safety glasses in front of my eye) and I will never ever forget that poo poo!

For the Swedes / Nordics here. Jula now offers Quickjacks under their own brand at the same price as Biltema, but with wall socket connection instead of the 12 one Biltema has. Still no pinch weld blocks though.

I'm going to be looking anyway, but if anyone comes across a good black friday / cyber monday deal on a M12 fuel battery + ratchet, please post them here! Do I want to pay the extra for the extended reach version? Currently I always buy 1/2" sockets, but I think I'm going to pick up the 3/8" ratchet and just get some new sockets as needed.

I'm plumbing in a 2nd discharge line for my sump pump. Last year it was so cold the 1.5" line froze going out to the storm sewer which made me become an expert in thawing the line (80' from the house) but it's a pain in the rear end. So I am pluming a discharge out to the side of the house which i can bypass to if necessary. Question is this: What's a decent way to cut 1.5" Sch40 ABS (just under 2" OD)? I don't want to use a hacksaw and I really don't want to buy a specific pipe cutting tool for something I'll probably never need again... probably need to do 6-10 cuts I figure. Is an oscillating saw reasonable? I could use my jig I suppose but it's kind of awkward.

I use a coping saw to cut PVC. I feel like a hacksaw would be good? Is there a reason you're against using it?

Just a handsaw is fine. I used a hand miter saw since it only cuts on one stroke and gives a nice clean cut. Edit: hell I'd use a Sawzall if I was outside.

I guess I could use a hacksaw or some other handsaw, more concerned with keeping it straight but I guess that's potentially a problem with any hand tool. :/

I do all my PVC (ABS should work the same) cuts that large on the electric miter saw in my garage and then spend about two seconds cleaning up the cut with a file or sandpaper. If you start doing plastic pipe too large for a miter saw, use a table saw and roll the pipe until you get all the way around. At least if you are doing a short enough section that you can hold it against the rip fence, that is.

Maybe clotted blood protects as well as poly. Only one way to find out...

It's very forgiving. Takes like ten seconds with a hacksaw.

FWIW, oscillating saw works real well on PVC, and can be really handy in an awkward spot.

You can use anything to cut pvc. The important part is to make sure it doesn't vibrate and flex while you cut it, so it doesn't shatter. Especially if its a stub out coming out of a concrete slab. Trust me on this one.

It's not PVC, it's sched 40 ABS but yeah, I think I'll just fire up that miter saw (maybe even softer?) I might try my oscillating cutter just to see how it works though. Thanks for helping someone who apparently has borderline alzheimers.

Also if you're gluing it together, you don't need to worry about how straight your cut is, it'll go in and set just fine even if it's off. And hold at twice the rated pressure... Less so if you're just using ferncos.

Thanks for this, as I am going to be cutting PVC down soon that the pavers ran in my new asphalt driveway and left it sticking up about a foot too high. Could easily see myself doing that and ruining my day.

This is the best tool for up to 2" SCH80 PVC though. They're a dream to use. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Plumbing-Installation/Copper-and-PVC-Cutters/2470-20

Yeah, I've got some super cheap Harbor Freight PVC cutters that work pretty well for what I paid for them. Much cleaner than using a saw. https://www.harborfreight.com/finger-release-ratcheting-pvc-cutter-62588.html

Not sure if that's a good deal in Boris units, but the product itself is pretty solid.

I just wish I could get my rear end in gear and swallow the $$$ for the pinch weld blocks. Plus they are always out of stock in € countries.
