To be honest I hadnt heard of one before. It just looked some sorta internal pvc cutter for your drill so I googled it and came up with a ram bit. This would have saved my ass a hundred times if they had them in 6″ size or 8″ size it could have saved hundreds of dollars.KnarlyCarl wrote:

Nice man, way to Sherlock Holmes it up. Only time we deal with that big of pipe is sewer pipe, which is gasketed, and therefore removable if need be.

Haha. When I first read this, I thought to myself “why would you need to ream out a PVC pipe? That’s silly. Does it get full of build up from dirty water? Maybe the threads need reconditioning, but how did this thing cut threads?”
So I googled it and only then remembered the whole PVC cement deal. I’m an idiot.

Always like to learn something new. Thanks!
Cool,thanks for sharing man. I need to get me one of those for those just in case moments.
So it’s not used to evacuate a the family’s fat gerbil when it gets stuck in the tube?
Anyone else use these? Without looking up the name on these carts, can you tell what they are specifically designed to do? Pretty easy to tell.

Water heater installation?
coffee cup holders for the big boys….
Among other big items such as a water heater yes but maybe I should have worded it to ask how is it designed to be used?Stercorarius wrote:

Ok Jimbo I chuckled.
These bad boys are my back savers, my third, fourth and fifth hands. my personal install buddies, I can count on them to do the job without whining, not something you can get with some human beings lol
These are stair climbers, they have a screw that runs the length of the machine (from top to bottom), the base sets on the floor, a motor raises the wheels to set on the next step or two, depending on the weight of the load, and you can move heavy bulky objects with one person, or even if there are two present, it makes things that much easier.
The one on the left has a second screw, that basically makes the whole platform a mini forklift, it will lift the load up to the height you need and there you go, Bob’s your uncle.
thats pretty awesome!
Bob’s not my Uncle its Harry..lol
That is super cool Carl!!

Stair climbers. They’re a massive pain to use but sometimes it’s the only way to get something heavy up a flight of stairs.
Been a huge asset doing emergency calls when I’m alone. Especially if the water heater is still half full of waterjeffmcmillan wrote:

Thought I would share another tool from the HVAC side, if anyone finds it useful as I, and any idea what it’s used for?
